PARTY RULES
\ FOR LEAVING
COUNTRY TOLD
Must Get Permission of
National Office

The National Office of the Workers
Party is receiving from time to time
requests from members Of the Party
for credentials authorizing them to
transfer to the Communist Parties of
other countries.
1t is the rule Of the National Organ
ization, established by the National
Convention of 1922, that no Party
member may leave the United States
without first securing permission from
the Central Executive Committee of
the Party.
Apply To National Office
Party members who desire to leave
the United States in an organized COM
mune or individually, should write to
the Nat. Organ. or to the Dist. Office
for an application blank. This blank
must be filled out in. complete form
and must be endorsed by the branch
OF which the applicant is member
and by the City Central Committee and
District Executive Committee and for
warded, thus duly certified to the Ma
tional Organization to be acted upon
by the Central Executive Committee.
In regard to emigration to Soviet
Russia, the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics has made very strict rule
that workers desiring to come to that
country must come as part of an or
ganized commune. This rule is intend
ed to promote the Socialist basis of the
economic system in that country. In
dividuals are permitted to enter Soviet
Russia only under special conditions
and no individual can enter the
country without first having received
permission of the Soviet authorities.
Russian Rule Strict
Party members who desire to enter
the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
will, if permission is granted by the
Central Executive Committee to leave
the United States, be advised as TO
how to proceed to secure permission
to enter Soviet Russia. AS stated
above, however, such permission can
only be secured in very exceptional
cases for individuals and no individual
who is a Party member will be able
to secure such permission without
having first secured consent from the
Central Executive Committee to leave
the United States.

FARMERS SWINDLED FOR LOEB

continued however until a few years
ago when numerous journalistic ex-
poses of these poisons made their
sales less profitable.
The reorganized mail order business
found that the big money lay in lower
costs. So the management set itself
to getting control Of the factories
where their medicines, pants, furni-
ture and the thousand and one other
items in the mail order catalogs were
produced.
Getting the Factories.
A small manufacturer who wanted
customers would be approached by the
big mail order house. They would
agree to take his entire output, on a
cost plus basis that kept his profits
down to bare wages. When the manu-
facturer's machinery wore out Sears
Roebuck would give their contract
elsewhere. He was scrapped like a
worn out worker.
Sometimes a manufacturer, whose
sole market was the big mail order
AOuoGp WOuAu AAu dJ lUO
of the contract that he was at Sears
Roebuck's mercy His old customers
were gone. There was nothing to do
but accept such terms as the mail or
der management offered him, which
often meant that he had to sell them
his concern at far less than it's origin
al cost.
The Taylor System.
The corporation eventually got pos
session of factories in every part of
America. In all these factories the
one aim of the management was
cheap goods. To cheaper the cost of
production strikes were broken, child
labor was used and a speed-up sys-
tenn was introduced.
In the numerous producing shops
and mills of the company and in the
big mail order branch houses in Chi
cago, Seattle, Philadelphia and Dali
las something akin to the Taylor sys-
tenn is in use to sweat all possible
profits out of the workers. When a
worker is worn out by speeding he is
scrapped, just as the contract manu-
facturer whose machinery had worn
out.
Loeb's Secrets Of Success.
Sears, Rosenwald and Loeb knew
the secrets of American financial sue
cess. 1t consisted for them of doing
the worker who made the goods and
the buyer who bought them. BY such
means they have been able to issue
stock dividend after stock dividend
until the parasitic beneficiaries of
this exploitation were able to rear
that flower of idleness and debauch-
cry whose hope lies solely in the ia
nous million dollar defense"
But Albert Loeb is an honorable
man, so is Nathan Leopold, Sr.; both
honorable men by capitalist stand
| ards.

Sun Vat Sen Blamed
For Strike Against
White Domination

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Sun Vat
Sen, founder of the Chinese republic
and head of the radical movement at
Canton, is credited here with having
encouraged the Chinese servants in
the foreign quarter at Canton to strike
against the arrogant race discrimina-
ton which has been imposed upon
them by the foreigners there. Suns
influence has always been behind the
formation of trade unions in China,
the refusal to accept white domina-
ton, and the plan for ultimate sup
planting of all whites by Chinese in
public service, commerce and the
professions.

TORONTO, Aug. 3.-If the Canad-
ian minister of labor ventures to show
up at dominion labor conventions he
will get as hostile a reception as
Coolidge's secretary of labor, James
]. Davis, got at the miners conven-
ton in Indianapolis last January and
at other conventions since. Both of
these unwelcome figures carry union
cards.
James Simpson, former official of
the Dominion Trades and Labor con-
gress, made a vigorous attack on
James Murdoch, minister of labor in
the federal cabinet, on the floor of
the Toronto Trade and Labor coun-
Gil.
Murdoch is the greatest misfit that
ever entered the labor Office in this
country" declared Simpson. "He has
done more harm and thrown the la.
Dor movement into the dust and dis
grace more than any man with un-
ion card in this country. He is not
fit to enter the halls of a labor or
ganization. II he shows his nose In

honor to be a delegate. will create
scene there that Murdoch will re-
member as long as he lives"
Simpson has been elected a dele
gate to the congress.

CANADIAN FRUIT
FARMERS IN Grip

Government Sailing in
Secret Probe
BY SYDNEY WARREN
Federated Press Staff Correspondent


VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 3.-Tho
Canadian government has special
committee to investigate the machin-
atoms of the fruit combine in British
Columbia but it is holding all it's ses-
sions in secret The fruitgrowers
charge they are at the absolute mercy
of the fruit and vegetable jobbers
represented by two comprehensive
Mutual and the Growers Sales
agency, who, they charge, operate UNI
der different trade names turnout the
prairie provinces and in Minneapolis.
Under the arrangement the growers
are kept in ignorance of their crop
returns for months after the fruit has
been shipped and for the past two
years apple prices have barely brot
the grower the cost of growing the
fruit. One grower who has the best
l10-acre orchard in Okanagan valley,
as well as growing the best grade Of
apples, received for his crop last year
1882. Another man who spent all his
savings and borrowed capital amount
ing to $4,000 has been forced to sell
his rights to an orchard for $1,000
quitclaim and return to the city prac-
tically penniless Orchard men who
are hanging on in hope Of better fruit
prices this fall have had to work out
at odd jobs to make ends meet as the
banks have refused to make any adj
vances whatsoever on prospective
fruit crops and the wholesalers have
compelled the local merchants to re-
fuse further credit to their customers.
The dominion investigation is re-
garded by many as a political move
in view of the impending federal cleo
ton.

After early training in mercantile un-
scrupulousness as free lance soap
box salesman he hit upon a neat
scheme to do the buyer thru the
mails. Country folks sometimes got
wise to him when they saw him face
to face: Sears thot they might fall
for writing.
Working the Expressmen.
His first mail order ventures in
cluded the sending Of fake gilt watches
to false addresses. The watches
would cost Sears about thirty-eight
cents each but the express declara-
tions would be made on basis of fif-
teen dollars watch. BY and by the
expressman would write in that there
was some mistake and would ask
what he should do with the package.
Sears in reply would generously Of
fer to let the expressman-poor
sucker-keep the watches at five dol
lars apiece.
RattIesnake Oil.
Quickly Sears was doing a national
business. With the capital by this
chicanery he went in for more bunk
stunts. The rural population was his
chief meat. His glowing advertise
ments lured farmers in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin and Indiana to try
his electric belts, rattlesnake oil and
above all his patent medicines. There
were speedy panaceas for every kind
of ailment: lost manhood, lost stom
achs and lost kidneys were to be re-
stored at dollar and more bottle
Incorporation Finance"
The mail order business grew
apace: as it grew the business began
to adopt more and more the methods
of regular merchandising, depending
for its profits on low costs rather than
the cruder film tanning of earlier
days. Finally about 1903 julius Ros-
enwald-an experienced merchandiser
came into the enterprise and thI
company was recognized on a huge
watered-stock scale.
Thirty million dollars of preferred
stock were fioated, with one share of
common stock given away with each
share of preferred. Thus the $30,000,-
900 common stock in 1903 is seen
to be pure water and the $150,000, 900
common stock of today is just five
times that amount of water. This is
pleasantly called corporation finance,
not common robbery.
Albert Loeb's Influence.
Richard Sears eventually died. AL
bert Loeb's influence in the Sears
2oebuck combine grew more and
more powerful until he gained the
leadership in the board of directors.
The business got on what is called a
sound management basis in place of
the loosen methods of raping the pub
lie that had prevailed earlier. The
patent medicine swindle game was
