LAKE COUNTY
LABOR VOTES
FOR June II
Orphaned FL. p. May
Follow Suit

At It's last meeting the Central La
Dor Union of Lake County, Ind, de-
eided to support the Farmer-Labor
convention called by the arrange
ments committee for June 18th at st.
Paul, MINI. BY a resolution adopted,
1t went on record to urge the State
Farmer-Labor Party Of Indiana to be
represented at this convention.
This state party was affiliated TO the
National Farmer-Lahor Party, Of
which Jay Brown was the secretary,
and which has now been dissolved
and its scheduled convention for
Cleveland, Ohio, July 4th, called off
by official act of its executive COM
mittee. It Is therefore, expected that
the Indiana Farmer-Labor Party will
line up for the June 18th convention,
particularly in view Of the fact that
some Of the active trade unIonists Of
Lake County and leading elements Of
the Central Labor Union are also the
leading elements In the State Far
mer-Labor Party.
The resolution adopted reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas, Local and State Farmer
Labor Parties have been organized
thruout the country and in several
instances obtained some considerable
success, notably In the state of Mime
sofa, and
Whereas, an effort is now being
made to link all these local and State
Farmer-Labor Parties together for a
united presidential campaign in No
vember, 1924, thru the Farmer-Labor
Convention called to convene at St.
Paul, Mimi, June 18th, and
Whereas, the recent exposures of
corruption within the old parties as
exempIified by the Teapot Dome, Air
craft, and Veteran Bureau Scandals,
points to the pressing need to unity
all these local and state Farmer-La-
Dor Party forces for independent po-
IiticaI action on a national scale, in
order to remedy conditions which now
prevail, therefore, be It
RESOLVED, That the Central La
Dor Council of Lake County, Indiana,
90 on record requesting the Farmer
Labor Party Of the State of Indiana,
to lend its assistance to this attempt
for unity and select delegates to be
represented at the June 18th conven-
ton at ST. Paul, Minnesota.

Harry Thaw Misses
Saloons In N. Y. AS
Bail Is Arranged

NEW YORK, May 23.--Harry Thaw,
after one fieeting look at the city that
knew him generation ago as a gay
hearted spendthrift from Pittsburgh,
commented:
There aren't as many saloons now
as there used to be-"
Then, after arranging $4,000 bail
for two indictments that have been
held against him for the seven years
Of his Incarceration in a madhouse,
Thaw left town.
Judge Olvaney, who admitted Thaw
to bail. was to decide whether it
would be necessary for the slayer Of
Stanford White, to return here today.

And so it is with the other chair
men and the members of committees.
Either they are big bosses or the obe-
dent servants of the bosses. The
list even includes the infamous labor
hating Judge Lands.
A small number of people in the
country, the bosses, because they own
all the natural resources, all the fac
tories and machines are able to make
the large majority of the population
the workers, slave for them at the
lowest wages.
BOSSES AND TEAPoTS.
These same bosses because of their
wealth control the schools, the Y. M.
C. A., the Boy Scouts and all institu-
tions that fight against the workers
even up to the Teapot Government
which they want you to believe is the
only kind of government for the coun-
try.
When this tiny minority because
they own all the property and wealth
of the country, try to use Boys
Week for huge propaganda drive to
make better slaves and soldiers out
of them, the boys of Chicago must
not let them accomplish their aims
without fight for their own inter
ests.
FIGHT FOR YOUR INTERESTS.
The interests of the boys of Chica-
go lie with the workers, not with the
bosses, and the boys must organize
by themselves to fight for their own
interests; just as their fathers and
brothers organize into unions TO fight
for theirs.
They must not themselves be led
by the bosses into fighting against
their own interests and those of their
families. When instead Of discussing
any of the important issues before
the boys of America today, such as
the problems of millions of child
slaves who works ten and twelve
hours day in factory and home-the
bosses use Boys Week to make"
obedient workers and future soldiers
for the bosses next war; the boys
must fight against this vile propa-
ganda and not let them have free
sway.

Farrington's plea that 1--WE would
ike to help the unemployed, but it
can't be DONE" was riddled by Watts
He showed the absurdity of Earring
ton demanding autocratic power and
then admitting that he couldn't do
anything for the workers.
The district presidents confession
that he could do nothing for the work
ers in the present crisis was the key
note of his talk during the unemploy-
ment discussion. That and his con-
slant attacks on the progressives who
insisted that something should be
done.

convention under instructions from
your local unions to vote in favor Of
so amending our constitution as to
divest your president Of the power to
appoint the workers needed to carry
on the work of our union.' Earring
ton pleaded with the delegates to
break faith with those who elected
them delegates, and vote to keep his
machine intact.
Farrlngton's Argument.
Harrington compared the United
Mine Workers Union to a business
institution "The miners union is a
business institution" Harrington said,
engaged in the sale of the labor pow
er of its members" he declared. "The
employees of the Standard Oil Com
pany and of the Steel Trust and Of
thousands of other successful bust
ness institutions are not elected by
stockholders. For years you have
elected your executive board and
vested the members thereof with the
authority to direct the affairs of your
union and you have held them ac-
countable. That is as it should be.
Crash In Pork Barrel.
But the delegates. by a three to one
majority, voted to take Farrington's
power from him and dealt a death
blow to his machine. True, the Far
rington machine tellers tried their
best to rob the vote, as they had done
when they had the DAILY WORKER
representative expelled from the hall.
The vote to sustain President Far
rington in his appointive power was
announced at 229 to sustain and 265
not to sustain. Many observers told
the DAILY WORKER reporter that
the vote was at least three to one
against Harrington.
One delegate belonging to the Far
rington machine called a roll call, but
Vice-President Fishwick evidently
realized that the extent of the vote
stealing would be revealed, for he adj
iourned the convention without TAX
ing vote on roll call.
Business" Unlonism Hit.
The part Of Farrington's report
claiming the union to be a business
institution came in for severe criti-
cism from many of the delegates.
eve are more than business insti-
tuition" said delegate John Hind
marsh, eve are much more. The pur-
pose of the union is to win for the
workers a wider and fuller life. And
we have to battle with the Standard
Oil, the very organization Earring
ton holds up to us as model, in or
der to do this"
Tells Of Payroll Army.
Hindmarsh reminded the delegates
that Harrington himself had talked
against the appointive power when
in the same hall, at the district II
convention two years ago. Harrington
said, 81 would recommend that the
appointive power be abolished in this
district when it is abolished in the in
ternational union. Lewis has an army
at his disposal thru his appointive
power. Disarm Lewis and l will dis
arm 81 agree with Harrington"
said Hindmarsh, "He does have an
army, and no matter who the presi-
dent may be, he will use this army
to entrench himself.

my local union, when one of Earring

The modern skidder has four lines
or cables, running out into the woods
each cable with lighter cable making
an endless chain, or "re-haul."
Bringing Up the Logs.
Tongs of steel are attached to the
skidder lines and all four lines oper-
ate at once, and the woods are full of
shouting men and flying tongs and
plunging 60-foot pine logs.
Then the clatter ceases, the logs are
along the track, the skidder creaks on,
and in its place is another steel giant,
the loader.
Cumbersome it looks but its steel
fingers are alive with precision and
skill and it swings and swings, its fen
tacles reach down, the biggest of logs
goes into the air like a match. and
drops into its place on the car like a
cigar placed in box.
Ten, fifteen, twenty carloads are
finished and a snorting switch engine
hooks them together and brings them
to the main line where another en-

travel that main line, carries them on
