STRIKE AGAINST
BIG May STORE
IN CLEVELAND, 0.
Experiences Of Workers
Shows Need of ''Daily"
BY J. A. HAMILTON.
,peciaI 20 Tha 6aitv worker


CLEVELAND, Dec. 19.-Seven mem.
bers Of the Mattresses Union, engag-
ed in picketing the big May company
department store against which the
union has been conducting a strike
for nearly three weeks, were arrested
last night but were dismissed at once
by the police court Judge, and now II
seems no one will admit responsible
ity for the arrests.
Violated Union Rules.
The strike was called because the
company refused to discharge several
members Of the union who would not
comply with the union rules to wear
their union buttons while at work and
were consequently expelled. The
Cooks and Bakers have a joint agree
ment with the Mattresses, and went
out with them. and it is reported that
the May company is losing large
amount of trade because Of their ef
forts to break the union.
The added advantages to the unior
in this strike because OF the common
action among the food trades is an
object lesson for amalgamation. TIL
other union employees of this store
such as carpenters and electricians
are compelled by their agreements to
remain at work, while II all the classes
Of workers in the department store
were included in one general retail
store workers union, even tho 1t would
be necessary to maintain various craft
organizations as well (but without
power to deal with the company the
company could be met on more even
terms than at present.
Bargain Basement" Is HeiI-HoIe.
OF course most of the employees of
this store are unorganized, even tho
conditions are very bad. The May
bargain basement" is a by-word in
Cleveland; it is especially in summer
a veritable hell-hole and the big sales
are marked by the collapse of clerks
who are overcome by the heat and
the foul air.
Time for Organization Work.
OF course the May company EN-
ployes ought to have completely or
ganized long ago but since they have
not, such events as the present wait.
resses' strike would serve as excellent
occasions to attempt organization, ii
we really had in the United States
the fighting, aggressive labor move
ment we ought to have,
The Cleveland Citizen, edited by the
renegade socialist" Max Hayes, and
circulating in large numbers among
union men in Cleveland is carrying
big May company advertisement in
spite Of this strike. Hayes has ex-
cused the presence Of undesirable ads
in the Citizen by saying he could not
refuse them, but labor paper con.
Quoted as it ought to be will not be
much troubled with having to refuse
such lads" as May company.
The workers of Cleveland mus
awake to the vital necessity of press
which is labor" not merely because
it reports the news Of union meeting
but which has a fighting policy against
the capitalist class and the capitals
system.
The moral is of course, SUPPORT
THE DAILY WORKER.

How We Live Under a Capital
istic Government and How We
Will Live Under a Farmers and
Workers Government.
BY Junior, Age IA.
In a capitalistic government, of
course, the capitalists rule. They
do nothing and get everything,
while the workers do everything
and get nothing. BY this 1 mean
that altho the worker makes
clothing, food, etc., in a word
everything we need, he does not
run the government, does not own
the factories, and does not get his
fright wages.
Many shops are not union
shops. The boss then can fire any
worker at any time he pleases,
give him low wages and hard work
for 8 hours or more a day and also
employ child labor.
In the capitalistic schools the
children are told lies about Com
munism, altho the teachers are
workers just as well as any other
worker.
In the workers. and farmers
government the one who will work
will run the government, own the
factories and the one who viii
shirk will get nothing. 1--WE haze
been ndught, ioe shall be air.
Child labor will not exist Work
ers will all have the same OPP
portunities. There will be strong
unions and no bosses. Shop com
mittees will settle all problems.
The workers will get vacations as
often as they decide upon for the
good Of all.
In school the children will be
told the truth about everything.
All workers, fight for a workers
and farmers government! Fight
for Communism

CITES PRESS INFLUENCE
IN PROMULGATING IDEAS

Few of us ever realize the tremen-
dous power of the press-the news
papers and the magazines of every
description-in the rapid dissemina-
tion Of new idea. says W. r. Tracy,
assistant sales manager, Oakland Mo-
!. Tor Car Company.
without the press the motor car
would never have attained its present
size in the time it has-less than a
quarter of century-even while TAX
ing into consideration the fact that
it fills a decided need throughout the
world-that of personal transporta-
tion.
If we hark back to two other nota-
bile inventionS-the steam locomotive
and the steamboat, the first mainly
responsible for the conQuerins Of a
continent and the second making pos
eible the utilization Of our great lakes
and rivers for commercial purposes
took the greater part OF a century TO
become practical realities.
These inventions were brought
about in the days before the universal
press, as We now understand that
term. The ideas behind the inven-
tions were largely passed on by word
of mouth TIE inventors had to
struggle along with the few that had
faith in them and furnished meager
capital. Yet even those who thor

Jordan Company Tells Why
1t Refuses to Enter Combine

Bankers. brokers and investors
throughout the country have been
absorbed during the past few weeks
with discussion of the interesting
possibilities OF mergers in the auto
mobile industry.
Every manufacturer with strong
organization, who produces car that
has been accepted by the public. has
been approached by individuals who
think that the only salvation for any
manufacturer producing less than
100000 automobiles every year will
be through a combination with other
manufacturers in the industry.
In the latest issue of the publica-
ton Of the Jordan Motor Car Com
pany entitled, What Jordan Sees and
Hears" Mr.. Jordan comments upon this
epidemic OF rumors in the automobile
industry.
Nearly every day some individual
approaches me to point out the ad-

There will undoubtedly be some

as 10 tire quality.
Careless Driving Blamed.
Careless application Of brakes and
too great an eagerness to accelerate
