"In 10 short days, have doubled
my appetite, am starting to put
on good solid flesh again. l don't
have gas and heartburn after eat
ing-I feel like a new person"
That is why this Delaware man
swears by Goff's Bitters and says
he never dreamed that a little of
Goff's Bitters in water before meals
could work such wonders with a
man.
Goff's Bitters is a pure herbal
preparation, that frees you of bowel
troubles. 1t puts your stomach in
order, and keeps it in order if you
will take it before meals as an
appetizer. Practically every drug
gist in the whole state of Delaware
sells lots of Goff's Bitters. 1t comes
in 35c and zoe sizes. The zoe size
is the most economical.

Organizer Fails;
Socialists Turn
To~Conmunists

DENVER, Colo, May 22.-Socialists
who were disappointed in the failure
of their national organizer, William
H. Henry, to speak on the Farmer
Labor Party issue and the June 18th
ST. Paul convention have asked per-
mission to attend meetings of the
Workers Party for information on
these vital subjects.
Henry spoke here to small au-
dience on the same evening Trachten-
berg addressed a crowd of several
hundred interested listeners. Henry
cut his meeting short at the conclu-
sion of his speech, giving no oppor-
tunity for questions. When approach
ed later by some of the Socialists,
Henry angrily told them that the So
cialist party could not associate with
Communists who believed in 'the die
tatorship" and refused to join the
June 18th convention for mass class
party of the farmers and workers.

Friend Of Labor"
Employs Scabs To
Save City Money
Especial to The Daily Worker,

TACOMA, Wash, May ga com
mittee from the Building Trades
Council has visited the Cushman
dam and power plant being built to
enlarge the municipal electric system,
to see what can be done in getting
the standard wage scale paid. The
contractors refuse to pay the Tacoma
scale, preferring the scale used by
lumber camps and logging roads in
the vicinity, which is much lower.
The city commissioner in charge of
the work frequently has another an
nouncement Of how he has saved
some more money for the tax payers.
Among other things, he gets all the
city printing done by scabs. Yet this
same commissioner is supposed to be
friendly to the workers and was re-
Gently reelected by three to one

Bedacht Explains
St. Paul Program
To Douglas Park
ey S. usPRlcH.

Members of the Douglas Park Eng
fish branch of the Workers Party, be-
ing rather enthusiastic with the report
of the financial secretary, were de-
lighted to hear Max Bedacht, who
spoke to this branch upon the neces-
sity to get behind the June II conven-
ton and making it a success.
Bedacht outlined very clearly the
difference between the Opportunists
and the Communists, the misconcep-
tions of one, and the clear and definite
stand of the other. He showed how
it is the duty of every Communist to
participate in all struggles, no matter
how small, consequently when the
party enters into this campaign it is
not with the contention that our goal
has been reached, but rather, as one
of the demonstrations of a party Of
action
Every comrade in the Douglas Park
English branch understands the ne
cessity of such move, and will bend
every effort to make the convention
Of June II a great success, and one
that will voice the attitude of the
Workers in America.

The La Toilette Movement.

To the DAILY WORKER: l am OPP
posed to the La Toilette movement.
Not because do not admire and re-
spect the great senator, but because
realize that political movement must
not be based upon great men and lead
ers, but must be based upon broad
fundamental principles and issues.
The able senator from Wisconsin
has shown his mettle and caliber DUR
ing the trying days of the war and
since the war. He has stood stead
lastly and consistently for the truth
and Justice; he has fought the battle
of the enslaved and the oppressed; he
has opposed unfiinchngiy and intelli-
gently the profiteers and chauvinists,
and he has fought for the rights which
the constitution of the United States
guarantees to all the citizens of this
republic. And l greatly admire and
respect and revere this noble man for
these qualities.
But if there is to be political
movement built around the senator,
there will be cliques of men whose
interests are not entirely unselfish
and altruistic, Some of these men
will be extremely wealthy, and some
millionaires will join in the movement,
A large number of rich people will
financially support such a movement.
They will do so not because they DOM
inantly believe that the government
should be operated for all the people
and that justice and equality should
be administered to all, but they will
support such movement because
some of them desire power and privi-
lege.
It is our duty to form and estab-
lish political party which will be for
and in the interest OF the great mass
es, and such party should be sup
ported managed and controlled by
the working people.
We have seen in our own genera.
ton the formation and establishment
OF progressive and reform political
parties. and in every instance such
parties were formed around so-called
great men and were not based upon
fundamental. radical principles. with

Pullman Workers
Make New Plans
For New Battles

Workers in the Pullman shops, re-
Gently on strike, and workers in 9TH
er industries on Chicago's far south
side resolved to "carry on" against
the big industrial corporations that
have their open shop plants in this
section of the city, at spirited mass
meeting held at Stancik's Hall, East
115th street.
Nick Leschner, the first strike pick
ct arrested, was chairman of the
meeting, that was also addressed by
]. Louis Engdahl, editor Of the DAILY
WORKER, and ]. P. Mccarthy, it's cir
culation manager.
The men are determined to stick
together If all the strikers are not
taken back, without discrimination, a
new strike will, no doubt, be called.
'Join your union and get into your
political party, the Workers (Com-
munist) Party" urged Engdahl.
"You must get ready for the next
struggle" said Mccarthy.
Plans were made for building the
circulation in Pullman, of the DAILY
WORKER, and for winning new mem
bers for the Workers Party.

THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON
LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS

out which no movement can truly
represent the. great masses of the
working people.
We need no great leader; we need
no Messiah to lead us out of the will
derness of slavery and exploitation
and oppression. We need only our
selves to become active members of a
political party which shall have as its
basis and platform the complete eradi-
cation of all injustice, slavery and op-
preston of the capitalist system. The
workers must learn to unite for their
own interests; they must be their
own leaders; they must be their own
deliverers of the slavery, starvation
and abominable evils which flow from
the capitalist system.
A great man such as La Toilette
cannot accomplish the complete
change Of government and the reform
of the industrial system under which
we live, but the great mass of wage
slaves of whatever description must
coordinate all their energies, must
cooperate together in one political
group to battle with the opposing
forces. This political party shall have
as its platform the elemental princi-
pies of new industrial order and a
just government, and then only will
we accomplish that happy end, the
establishment of the cooperative com
monwealth.-SAMUEL RAPPAPORT,

Russian Imports
Won't Unbalance
Trade Advantage
(Rosta News Service.)

MOSCOW, May 22.- The active
balance of Russian external trade,
which insures a successful reform, is
to be kept up as firmly as the foreign
trade monopoly, according to state
ment made at an important party
meeting by Mr.. Kameneff, Acting Pres
ident of the Council Of Peoples Com
missaries.
At the same time the speaker ex-
planned there was certain possibility
of imports being increased, tho in the
limits of an active balance, with a
view, in particular, to assuring the
sterilization of prices in the internal
market. This question, Mr.. Kameneff
stated, was presently under discussion.
