Disappointment Marks Failure
To Provide Relief to Farmers

equality is something which agri-
culture is going to demand. in sub
stantially the same form, so long as
there are exportable agricultural
surpluses and a protective tariff"
What the west is going to do about
1T. the Des Moines Register holds, "is
what disturbs the enemies of the bill,
who for some unaccountable reason
have failed to realize that western
unrest is real The Register goes
on to say the farmers have got to
take some thoroughgoing lessons in
pulling together if they expect to be
listened to in Washington" The
Lincoln State Journal considers the
experience of the past six months
worth while eff it has opened the
farmers eyes; furthermore. "it is
high time the farming west quit
playing the gullible rube and learned
to take care of itself" for "it must
see where its economic political in
terests lie and follow a hard-headed
policy of pursuit of those interests
as other industrial groups do"
The Omaha World Herald suggests
that not only the farmers feel bitter
disappointment, but "every business
man, every workingman and profess
sional man is learning anew the les
forgotten - that the prosperity of
every class and interest and section
is wrapped up in the prosperity of the
farmer; therefore, there is a wide
spread feeling of disgust and resent
ment." The breakdown Of "all Con-
gress' glittering promises ought to
make the farmer look closer into
what Congress is doing for the other
chaps.' the Milwaukee Journal con-
tends. because unless the farmer is
ready to demand that price-fxing
tariff scheme be ended and back it
WIN, WIN ms votes, he will have to go
promises-and borrowing more money
TO meet his notes." 1ndorsing this
the Lincoln Star adds that Congress
snould remove the generous subsidy
Wnlch IL has conferred upon eastern
manufacturers through the provisions
OF the high protective tariff"

relief to the farmer and having left

the Wichita Eagle believes, might
well ponder the absolute necessity of
seeing that the market in which he
buys be made also a truly competi-
tive one" The Detroit News calls
attention to the report that a move
ment is in the making for a sub
stitute measure which will embody
the principle of the defeated measure,
but which abandons the methods of
Messy. McNary and Haugen, and 1T
declares '1t is difficult to see In what

SHOOTING STARS.

June.
Nothing to do but blossom;
Nothing to do but smile,
When the skies are blue
There's nothing to do
But drift with the clouds awhile.
Nothing to do but loiter
In the shelter Of leafy shade.
Till the fading light
Bids the hours take flight
To the land where the dreams are
made.
Nothing to do" we whisper,
But the blossom its fruit must bear
And the song or sigh
AS it hurries by
Will tell of some cherished care.
Nothing to do' means sorrow,
Should dreaming too long delay.
All life. we know,
Must strive and grow
Or falter and fade away.

A New Stage Idea.

The French architect Perret, who
built the Theater des Champs Elysees,
perhaps the most beautiful playhouse
in Europe, has a new idea, which he
is to put into execution at next years
great exhibition Of the decorative
arts 1t is a rectangular auditorium,
which will face two ways 1t will be
longer than it is wide, and at the
narrow end there will be a small
stage suitable for delicate comedy
and other plays of an intimate appeal.
on one of the long sides will be a
much larger stage, designed for trag-
edy and spectacular drama 1t will
even be possible for both OF these
single play, for each seat will swing
around on a pivot, and the spectator
will be able to face both ways. In
cidentally, also, man who has bought
a seat in back row for the small
stage may suddenly find that he Is
admirably placed in the second act,
when the action is transferred to the
larger stage

one of immigration. The law-breaking

With jests trifle rude;
And yet to see it I will go
And laugh in ightsome mood.
The bathing suit that is too short,

And more discreetly furled.
The slangy phrase I know is wrong
And yet it makes me smile:
I deprecate the ragtime song,

Some doubts can't remove;
Why do like so many things

Although the majority Of editors
admit that the McNary-Haugen bill
had no saving virtue. there is general
disappointment that Congress ad-
journed without having passed some
effective legislation in behalf Of the
farmer. This is particularly true,
editors point out, because aid
through legislation had been prom
ised during the last congressional
elections, some campaigns being
conducted on that basis. Since moth
ing has been done, editors feel there
will be a positive protest through
the ballot
The McNary- -Haugen proposal
was a roundabout maneuver to hood
wink the farmer, penalize the con-
sumer, undermine industry, provoke
foreign reprisal by its dumping
feature, and, in the end, yield a fat
profit to the speculator and the
market" in the opinion of the De-
troit Free Press, which maintains,
however. that ''if this scheme de-
served to die, there was no reason
farm relief measures before Con-
gress could not have been put to the
test" The Spokane Spokesman
Review regrets that the sponsors of
the measure became convinced that
the way to get relief for the dis
log-ro1ling plan to win the support
of farmers engaged in other produc-
tion," because at would have been
better tactics IL they had adhered to
proposed by the American Wheat
Growers" for that plan was free
from reasonable objections" The
Sioux City Journal declares that
government aid of a character that
temporarily would relieve the dis
farmers a chance to live while
searching for the best way to con-
troll their own business ought to be
provided" Those who belittle the
farm depression "are ignorant of
conditions" continues the Topeka
Capital, which insists that "the best
that the most optimistic can say is
that 1t has reached so low an ebb
that it must get better because it
can hardly grow worse.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-19

Chicago, which is mainly a colored
district about enough signatures have
been obtained for our candidate, Com
rade Gordon Owens, colored worker.
To obtain the utmost possible adj
vantage for the strengthening of the
revolutionary movement the District
Committee has decided to place Com
rade John Mihelic of Kansas City as
field organizer in Southern Illinois and
st. Louis. 1t has also decided to i'm
mediately begin the reorganization of
all our branches in the Illinois coal
field upon a shop nuclei basis. This
industry is particularly suited for such
reorganization and the comrades in
that territory have repeatedly pointed
to the necessity of such step, realizing
the immense superiority of such form
of organization where the basis of op-
Grafton of all forms of activity will be
the place of work.
Altho the heavy unemployment
among the Illinois coal miners has
compelled many to leave to seek EN-
ployment elsewhere, and thus consid-
erably weakened a number of our
branches, still they have everywhere
taken the leadership in proposing
real measures of relief and are being
intellectually supported in these eff
forts by the progressive elements.
They are now demanding that their
unions take action and make it one of
its main immediate problems to solve
They are preparing the workers to
take steps to gain relief thru their
own organized efforts, thru the organ
ization Of Unemployment Councils.
The fact that the Ku Klux Khan,
which has particularly shown its vici-
GUS character in the Illinois coal field,
is now decidedly on the decline, is
due in a great measure to the fight
made upon this hooded fascist outfit
by our units supported by the pro-
pressive elements. An organized fight
has cleaned these little Mussolinis
out of the local unions where they had
seized control in violation of all union
rules.

Despite the attempts Of Fascist

the Fascist regime in Italy.
Long before the meeting, the
papers predicted trouble, based
on past experiences here. What
Infatuated the small Fascist

bearded veteran of the Italian
War of independence in 1860.
Only the determined attitude
of William Simons, district or

saved the day. From then on,
there was little interruption.
The Fascists mumbled to them
