Stock Exchange
Fighters Go to
See Youth WAR

CAMP CUSTER, Mich, July 90
Automobile loads of parasites and
coupon clippers have. arrived here to-
day to watch the amateur soldiers in
their war manouvers 1t is said that
1900 men from the R.O.TC. are here to
train under the supervision of army
officers. These men come from the col
leges where the children of the work
ers are very scarce. The students will
probably serve as good servants of our
war lords as they lead the workers into
slaughter.
These people serve the same purpose
as the battle-ram in the stock yards
who lead the sheep UP to their place
of slaughter and then step aside. In
this manner they allow the mass of
workers to fight in the interest of the
present owners of American industry.
The demonstration is given for the
purpose Of proving to our useless par
asites that the American army is cap
able Of protecting their interests. 1t is
also given to show our budding white
guard officers, the best way to kill
the greatest amount of people, using
the least amount OF ammunition while
doing 80.

"WORKING UP"

The capitalists tell us that they
became rich by honest and hard
work and we can do the same.
But it is not true. "You cannot
earn stone palaces by honest
work." as the proverb says. The
true story of how they became
rich is by grating and being un-
fair to your fellowmen. The fol-
lowing story will give a more
clear idea bf how they became
rich.

Injunction Menace
Important Issue
At Machinist Meet

Federated Press Industrial Edltor)
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Necessity
for placing federal judges under direct
control of the people, as safeguard
against abuse Of the injunction power,
will be urged upon the International
Association of Machinists, in their
18th general convention, to be opened
September Is at the Hotel Tiller, in
Detroit. The last convention was held
at Rochester in 1920, when the mem
bership, recruited during the wartime
boom, was double what it is now.
Hundreds Of injunctions secured by
railroad companies and other enemies
of the union have been largely res
ponsible for breaking the morale of
the members who have dropped out.
Only recently the officers of the rail-
road shop crafts have been able to
negotiate the dropping of a claim by
the st. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
road for collection of default judg,
ment Of $4,000, 900 demages claimed by
the company against the shop strikers
under the terms of the infamous
Daugherty injunction. The injunc-
ton itself was made permanent.
The remedy proposed is election of
federal judges for limited terms. A
constitutional amendment is required
for this change.

Gaining Much Strength
BY JOHN RoBUR.

Federated Press STAFF Correspondent
OTTAWA, Can, July 20.-A radical

the Farmers party and of the Labor
party. Most of it's members come
from the farmer or progressive group,
but it rallied first around resolution
moved by the leader of the tiny labor
party.
The Labor members and the Pro
gressive members of the house of
commons frequently vote together.
In spite Of standpat preaching that

terests, the members of the Canadian
house usually find they are ON the
same side.
The effective start was given to the
drift away from the progressive eau
Gus when ]. S. Wordsworth, Labor
member from Winnipeg moved that
the budget tariff reductions be re-
placed by those Of the progressive
platform. He and Irvine, the other
Labor member, drew IA progressives

the house to vote on banking reform
issues and on one occasion came with

made for him. Now being a boss
he gave to the workers of his shop

He had child workers in his shop
because he gave them less wages
and exploited them more. He be-
came rich only by grating, OPP

making children labor as you see
it and not by honest and hard la

Australian Bosses
Seeking Supply of
British Child Slaves

SYDNEY, New South Wales, July
20.-"One thousand British girls Of
not more than IA years of age" is the
latest child immigration scheme
launched in New South Wales. The
scheme is fostered by employers.
The promoters express the opinion
that the economic necessities of many
British parents will induce them to
consent to the migration of their girl
children, and that 1t will not be diff
cult to obtain the required number.
In fact, it is thought that it will be
easier to effect the migration Of girls
Of only IA years than girls Of Is and
upwards.
The experience of Canada with SINH
lar immigration schemes has been that
large proportion of the young new
corners find their way to hospitals,
asylums and prisons. Many of the
children born in Canadian public insti-
buttons are the offspring of young un-
married girls who had been received
from Great Britain through emigrant
agencies.

tract labor trust, whose head
quarters are in Chicago.

In the naval oil lease scandals, the
West Virginia state board is charged
with having violated the law by fail
ing to advertise for competitive bid
ding on this labor. Instead, it an
nounced that it had signed renew
al and extension" on July Is, 1921,
of contract made with the Gordon
concern in 1916. But the terms OF
the new contract, Neely's complaint
sets forth, are wholly different from
those in the old contract.
Prisoners at 72 cents Daily.
The Gordon deal is described by
fragrant violation of the law private
ly, collusively and fraudulently" let
ting and leasing the diligent work Of
275 men and women convicts. 1t pro-
vided that 70 cents day be paid for
the first $50 convicts, and $1.00 a day
for all above that minimum number.
This price is declared to be at least
SO cents a day less for each convict
than is paid in other states for SINH
lar work by convicts under like con-
ditions. Maryland was getting SIPS
day for it's convict labor on shirts.
The complaint asserts that West Vir-
ginia has in this manner been de-
frauded Of 100000 year for long
time past.
A prospectus issued May 20, 1923,
in Chicago, for the sale of 100000

ing syndicate, explains:
1.-THE Reliance Co. operates seven
teen prison factories, getting build
ing rent free and also power, heat and
| light either free or at nominal rates.
1t gets it's labor from state prisons
and reformatories at rates varying
from fifth to half of cost in free

months of 1922 were 999,409.44.

MAN EMPLOYED AT CAMP
JONES TAKES HIS LIFE

I. r. Burns, an aged white man
who had been employed at CamL
Harry j. Jones for some time past
was found dead in his bed in a little
room at the camp Monday morning
shortly after IL o'clock by guards
who broke in the door after they
heard two pistol shots.
Burns was shot through the head
and had apparently died instantly.
A cheap 81 caligre pistol was found
near where the body lay on the bed.
The man was known to be drug
user and articles were found in his
room to indicate that he had been
using drugs at the time of his death.
Nearly year ago he is said to have
made an attempt on his life by cut
ting his throat and was at that time
confined at the county hospital for
treatment.
So far as could be learned at Doug
las, the man has no relatives. Other
employees at the camp told members
of the coroner's jury that the man
had finished his work there and had
been told to leave. He is said to
have agreed to this and entered his
room. 1t was but a short time after
that the shots were heard and the
guards breaking in the door found
the man dead.

JAP BANDITS HOLD UP
CHINESE STORE IN PHOENLX

Chinatown at Phoenix was invaded
in broad daylight Friday by three
burglars who daringly robbed a mer-
chant in the central district of $500
in currency while the victim was held
at bay with a revolver in the hands
of one of the desperadoes.
But Chinatown aroused itself and
gave pursuit and its habitues took
credit for the capture of at least one
of the trio, who now are in the laws
toils--their loot again in it's owners
hands. The bandits were Japanese.
After seizing the currency from Z
money drawer, the bandits flee
through rear door. The merchant
sounded an alarm. Instantly many
of the Chinese quarter took up the
chase of the men and easily over
took and overpowered one of theil
number. He said he was M. Suga.
His captors held him prisoner il
the merchants store until officers ar
rived from headquarters. The Law
sensed the trail of his partners anc
took them into custody All hour Later

the cash with them, officers report
