Offer of Labor
Defense Council
Based on a Week

The Labor Defense Council seeing
the great interest the readers of the
DAILY WORKER have shown in the
proposal to publish the new Russian
novel, "a Week." serially have de-
cided to give a copy of the book to
any supporter of the council who will
sell complete $500 sheet of Ruth
enberg appeal coupons.
The money realized from this sale
Of Ruthenberg Appeal Coupons will
be devoted to financing the appeal
of C. E. Ruthenberg, against his con-
viction for violations Of the Michigan
criminal syndicalism laws. Ruthen-
berg's case comes up before the
Michigan Supreme court, March 1.
The attorneys prosecuting the
Michigan cases make no secret Of the
fact that if this appeal can be won
by the defense the cases against the
81 other Communists indicted in
Michigan and now awaiting trial will
go to pieces.
Any worker who wants to get be-
hind the fight against the Michigan
criminal syndicalism laws can get
sheets of Ruthenberg appeal coupons
from the Labor Defense Council, l66
w. Washington St., Chicago, and as
soon as he has sold them will get a
copy of "a Week."

The DAILY STAR
STOCKHOLDERS
GUST VAN LEAR
Paper Now in Hands of
Receiver

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. d.
The Minnesota Daily Star, organized
three years ago to serve the inter-
ests Of the workers and farmers, is
today in the hands of a receiver after
being wrecked by the treaehery and
greed of Thomas Van Lear and the
grating politicians he associated
himself with. Van Lear was for
merly socialist mayor Of Minnea-
polls.
Judge Baldwin set the date of the
hearing for the petition for perman-
ent receiver for Thursday. In the
meantime John Thompson, business
manager of the Star, a Van Lear
henchman, is temporary receiver.
Refused to Recognize Majority.
By a vote of 3,402 to 102 the
papers stockholders at a special
meeting ousted Van Lear and Thomp-
son from the management Of the
Star, but the latter refused to rec
ognize the custer as legal, altho the
number of stockholders present was
representative one, casting 1900
shares of the issue of $780, Two
thirds of those present were farmers.
After the motion ousting Van Lear
and Thompson was passed, reso-
luton was introduced demanding
that the Star support the state
Farmer-Labor Party and the forma-
ton of a national farmer-labor
party.
The resolution was introduced by
Robly D. Cramer and ably supported
by William Mahoney, ]. F. Emme
and Richard Virgins. The chairman
declared himself in doubt when a
vive voce vote was taken and when
a roll call was demanded sleek
parliamentarian arose and moved ad-
journment, which the chair declared
carried. Cramer challenged the
count on the vote but was not rec
ognized.
Farmer-Labor Motion Carried.
Cramer's motion was then put
against the chairs decision that the
meeting had adjourned and it was
carried unanimously.
Patriotism may be the last refuge
of most scoundrels but the law is
the refuge of others, among them
Van Lear. Too hypocritical even for
the Socialist Party he was expelled
from it in 1919 and then consorted
with the politicians of the non-par-
tisan league, but the rank and file
of that organization want a party
of their own and recently took the
league into their own hands.
The Star was Van Lear's last
stand. With it he fought desper-
ately to maintain some hold on the
workers but he has now lost his
last stronghold. The stockholders
have repudiated him as faithless
servant, so he has repaired to the
courts in his last extremity.

Takes This Worker
TlUO Days to Read
One Copy of Daily

William F. Kruse, who has just
completed tour of the east for the
Friends of Soviet Russia and Work
ers Germany, reports that the DAILY
WORKER is being very well received
all over the country. One man in
Washington told him that when he
first saw the paper he thought that
IL was rather small. It didn't COM
pare with the large capitalist dailies
in size he thought. There couldn't
be much in It.
"But then / got to reading It and
I'll be darned II there wasn't more in
that paper that a worker would want
70 read than in a couple Of capitalist
dailies. No funnies, no silly serial
stories, all straight news that man
wants TO read. Il takes me two days
to finish a copy. There is so much
good stuff in IL that you have to read
Everything. l don't know II VIII

ILLINOIS BOSSES
LAY OFF $4,000
SINCE DECEMBER
Many Southern Negroes
Seek Work

"Tllinois manufacturers began the
new year by laying off a substantial
number of their workers." says the
report on the employment situation
for January just issued by the Illi-
nois department of labor. Indus
rial operations appear to have fallen
1.S per cent during the month"
Five thousand five hundred work
ers were laid off by 1892 employers
who cooperate with the department
in gathering statistics. If this report
may be taken as typical $4,000 fac
tory workers have lost their jobs
since December. "The decline is
quite general applying to the great
majority of industries, and affecting
the employment Of both sexes"
Chicago Hard Hit.
"In Chicago 607 manufacturers re-
ported that they had 5000 fewer en-
ployes than in December, or about
2 per cent"
"Declines were recorded during
January in 33 out of 55 manufactur-
ing industries included in the survey.
Declines are seen to be general in the
food and metal industries. Probably
the most important change during the
thirty days has been the collapse of
car building" Only about three
fourths of the workers in this indus
try are working.
"The drop of As per cent in the
sIaughtering and meat packing in
dustry' was but little more than the
average for all food industries"
Pay rolls for the week of the
middle of January show a reduction
of Al per cent from the same week
in December.
Worst In Years.
"In the offices Of the Illinois Free
Employment Service in 13 principal
cities in the state the excess labor
supply in January was the largest
that has been reported since early in
1922. Places could not be found for
10000 applicants for jobs. There
were in the state as a whole 166 ap-
plicants for each 100 jobs. This was
measurably worse than at any time
in 1923.
"Coal mines in Illinois and adjoin-
ing states have closed down throw
ing hundreds out of work"

negro districts have been swamped

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14-After
a lull in the persecution Of the l. w.
W., the California branch, General
Defense committee, reports sudden
fiareup thruout the state. Clarence
Greer and Harry Willis have been ar
rested and charged with criminal syn
dicalism at Ell Centre, where RoscSe
Thurman is being held for re-trial;
and at the other end of the state, in
Redding, George Brown and Ed Har-
ris are bing held under the Busick
anti-I. w. w. injunction.
1t has been proved by test case
in Los Angeles, however, that this
injunction is invalid outside of Judge
Busick's jurisdiction, and the men will
probably be released unless held for
criminal syndicalism. At the same
time Charles Anderson, Charles
Baker and Thomas Campbell were ar
rested in Marysville for vagrancy and
their delegates supplies confiscated.
After week in Jail the judge ordered
