WORKER get its news after the
reporter has been put out of the
Commemorative?
The convention stenographer
came over to the press table, to
Jack tombstone, reporter for the
Farmer-Labor Voice, and said,
$50 you're reading the DAILY
WORKER. Is that your favorite
paper? 1t seems to be the favor
lite paper of most of the dele
gates"
harrington holds the record for
speaking in the convention. His time,
according to a stop watch, up to date
has been 20 hours, SO minutes and AZ
seconds. Most Of this time was used
in explaining that II do not know:
ut is against the constitution; ut is
contrary to the three-year contract;
Il have great responsibility; Some
people are trying to place this respon-
sibility upon me, but won't allow it,;
Il want exceptional powers; 'I have
not the power to do it,; 1--WE can get
anything we demand within reason
at the next legislature; 'T don't ex-
pect very much from the next legisla-
ture"; Il don't expect anything from
the next legislature; 1--WE must
cheaper production in order for the
operators to find markets; 1--WE must
be able to compete with the non-un-
ion fields; There is no relief in
sight as long as the non-union fields
that Illinois has to compete with
agrees to the Jacksonville contract;
Don't antagonize the employers:
BE on the square; DO an honest
days work; Cooperate with the
boss; I'VE cannot do anything that
is not in the agreement; 81 am in
favor Of taking the appointive power
away from Lewis; 81 am opposed to
taking the appointive power away
from myself; 'I have machine and
a good one, too; Il do not have ma
chine" ETC., etc, etc.
vice-president AIRY Fishwick says
that he is on the square with every
body, wants everybody to get fair
play. The proof is that he admits it.
That is to say, larry will go just as
far in this direction as anybody as
long as 1t won't take away Franks
|power-and that would not be fair.
If the loss of the appointive power
takes George MERGERS meal ticket
away, he can start out as an evan
geIist. George is known as the sta
tistician, but all the scribes at the
press table had him doped out as
Presbyterian minister.
Delegate William HARNESS of Bar
tonville, chairman Of the committee
on officers reports, asked this ques-
ton few years ago, "Can Earring
ton endure?" He answered it in pre-
senting Farrington's report to the con-
vention by saying that neither Far
rington nor Democracy would endure
IL the appointive power were de-
stroyed.
where is the line of demarcation?"
Hardness repeatedly asked. He found
|it between the 8. L. P. and Earring
toms sinking ship.
secretary Walter Nesbit. the
official announcer and mail distribu-
tor. is getting some of the delegates
SORE. They say he only gives mail to
ais friends instead OF distributing it
equally among the delegates no mat
ter what their political views may be.
They also say Walter is an expert on
figures; either he or the telIers told
a whopper when they announced the
vote against the appointive power
and the vote on the expulsion of the
DAILY WORKER reporter. He evil
IDENTIFY goes on the basis of two for
Frank and one for the other fellow.
