Unanimously Cabin
BY Lydia clbson-at Cleveland

Mot that he should give the
people what they want, but what
they ought to want" Great ap-
plause. And who shall choose what
we ought to want? Calvin, Of
course, with the altruistic assist
ance of Wall Street.
Gem of thought from the New
Jersey seconder Of the nomination:
HE answered the nations every
call from Boston Common to the
Rhinel"
Look well to the hearthstone-"
We've been looking for years, not
to-" but "for" hearthstone. They
seem to have become ruling class
luxury. Let's found an Association
for the Intalling of Hearthstones in
Tenements-in which the majority
of American citizens live.
Everything was sung, from II
Love You Only" to Onward, Chris
tian Soldiers" and especially Hail,
Hail, the Gangs All Here" But
they left out that dear old ballad,
"Merrily We (Steam) Roll Along"
It would have been too true to be
funny.
It's a great pity Billy Sunday
didn't make the nominating speech.
He would have enjoyed the fervent
singing of Onward, Christian Sol
diers," by the assembled thousands
at the moment of victory. Couldn't
hear the words, but they sounded
like with the cross of Coo-oolidge
going on before" The Jewish dele
gates must have appreciated the tri-
umph of "his very Christian maj
esty."
The prayer was so long and so
political that many forgot them
selves and applauded. We hope
God forgave them the oversight.

non-existent; 100 minus equals
100. Very simple. Thus the con-
vention went unanimous for Cool
idge in spite of the stubborn minor
tiles for LaFollette and Hiram John
son. What you don't like you ex-
communicate.
Has the national anthem become
Calvins private property? If you
won't stand up for Calvin are you
lacking in respect for 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner? When Wiscon-
sin wouldn't stand up they sprung
the anthem on them. Sousa ought
to have known better even if the
rest of the multitude didn't! But
then Bob LaFollette, Jr., says they
couldn't hear the band, because the
gang was so disrespectful as to boot
and hiss all thru the playing of
"The Star-Spangled Banner"

FOUND! CANDIDATE FOR
VICE-PRESIDENT MORE
REACTIONARY THAN Gal

Charles Curtis, senator from Kan
sas and mentioned at Cleveland
as running mate for Coolidge, is
one of the wheel-horses of the
old machine. He is from Topeka,
where he entered politics in 1894
thru the usual avenue Of the county
attorneys office.
SchooIed under the notorious
"Dave" MuIvane, Curtis, being a
bright young man, quickly forged
ahead, went to congress as a repre-
sentative, and then as a senator,
succeeding Burton, henchman Of
Mark Hanna in national politics.
Curtis has been in the senate
since 1907, carrying into his WASH
ngton activity the same seduIous
service to capitalism In it's crudest
forms that brought him recognition
in Kansas. Curtis has always been
a standpatter, being more reaction
airy than Coolidge, If such a thing
is possible.

FRENCH PO|LUS
REFUSE TO FIGHT
GERMAN WORKERS
Communists Exerting
Strong influence
Especial to the Daily Worker.

(Speclal 10 the Daily Worker.)
BERLIN, June 13.-French poilus
have become so much more class con-
scious and internationally minded
than in the 1914-1S period that they
fraternize and openly sympathize
with the oppressed German industrial
workers of the Ruhr, says Rote
Fahne, often suppressed but irrepres-
sible Communist paper of the Ger
man party.
Made Separatists Fail.
The lack of support of the French
soldiers prevented General Degoutte
from lending the Rhineland separatist
gang the necessary aid to make their
movement effective, says the paper.
The work of the Ruhr Echo, which
printed special articles in French. for
the occupation troops, is commended
as particularly valuable.
German Police Use French Arms.
The French authorities actually had
to give arms to the German police to
use against the striking German work
ers of the Ruhr when French soldiers
refused to act against the strikers.
Mayor Lutherbeck of Essen was given
permission to distribute 200 French
bayonets to the German reaction
aries police to use against their coun-
trymen, who were rebelling against
industrial slavery.
Even the French colonial troops
were strongly influenced by the Com
munists when the latter printed their
message in Arabic.

GOOD RIDDANCE,'
WORKERS REPLY
TO Mr.. HOPKINS
Singing Reply From
Salem, Ohio

Mr.. ]. A. H. Hopkins had not the
least idea that he was stumbling on
a hornets nest when he sent out
letter announcing his withdrawal from
the June II convention. The replies
to his letter are interesting. Boiled
down, they mean good radiance"
Many of the workers and farmers ex-
press surprise that J. A. H. H. ever
succeeded in glueing himself onto the
arrangements committee of the con-
vention. But all sincere men and wo-
men are glad the pesky dictator has
taken his position among the motley
crew of disconnected capitalists, petty
bourgeois and other elements, at the
rear Of the LaFollette political cart.
Among those favored by copy of
the Hopkins epistle is Charles Bonsall
Of Salem, Ohio, who is active in the
Farmer-Labor party movement. He
makes the following reply:
"Mr. ]. A. H. Hopkins, Chairman
Executive Committee. The Committee
of As, is E. 4Oth Street, New York
City. N. Y.
Dear Sir:-Your letter Of June 6,
together with copy of a lengthy state
ment entitled Special News Article
53-A for Immediate Release, Why the
Committee of As has withdrawn from
the st. Paul June IL convention have
been received and carefully perused.
| inclose my answer to the query as
to my desire to certify as a delegate
to the Cleveland convention.
"Will you please tell me the plank
or planks in the Communist declara-
ton Of principles that you believe are
wrong?
"You appear to be nervously
alarmed about the Dictatorship of the
Proletariat.' If the Committee of AZ
should get control of the U. S. Govern
ment and enact laws and execute
them, would it not be a Dictatorship
of the Committee of 4S? Are not all
actual, functioning governments die
tatorships? Will you answer? Sup
pose you test it out, by refusing to pay
your taxes and defy the present CAPT

summons to deliver your body in
court as a defendant or witness in a
suit at law.
Are not you and LaFollette playing
the role of Dictatorship with a ven
geance, in debating in advance, what
ideas on government. economics, etc,
the men and women delegates to the
st. Paul Convention, shall entertain,
before you would tolerate their un-
holy right to a seat along with you?
In the name Of fairness and common
sense are you not able to defend your
chosen ideas on the floor of a public
assemblage, against what you conceive
to be the erroneous ideas of the Com
munists?
'In the light Of your present posi-
ton and that Of LaFollette, it is evil
dent that the political, economic and
moral atmosphere of the St. Paul con-
vention will be clarified and purified
and that we shall there build a plat
form that shall recognize the God-giv-
en- rights of the great proletarian
army Of the nation, without which you
and LaFollette and the aggregation
now assembled at Cleveland, would all
starve to death and our civilization be-
come a bowling wilderness.

Especial to The Daily Worker,

especial TO The Daily Worker)
SEATTLE, June 13.-Boycott
Of the Seattle Post-IntelIigencer,
morning daily owned by William
Randolph Hearst, is proceeding
among unions of the northwest.
Local street car men organ
lied in Division 587 have threat
ened Hearst with withdrawal Of
1880 readers if he does not
make terms with the striking
printers and locked-out stereo-
typers and mailers by signing
the same contract that is in
force in all the other daily news
paper offices in Seattle.
After months of negotiation the
Hearst paper refused to sign. Mean.
while it had held squadron of strike
breakers in readiness who marched
in from Los Angeles and a Spokane
printers school and are trying to get
out the paper. Advertisements are
appearing in eastern papers offering
steady jobs on the Pr. for stereotyp-
ers and printers.
Firing at WhIm.
Besides frightening working hours
from seven to seven and a half daily
the Post-Intelligencer management
set aside the old agreement forbid
ding the discharge of an employee for
lodge utilization, political belief or
other unwarranted cause unrelated to
shop efficiency.
In place of this old clause the "P. j. {"
gives the foreman the sole right of
discharge at his own whim.
A special standing committee of
four members, two from the union and
two from the bosses is set up but has
virtually no power. This committee
has no power to order the reinstate-
ment of discharged worker unless
all four committeeman so decide.
Life of Union at Stake.
Since two committee members are
employers men the union loses all
power to protect its affiliated mem
bers.
The typographical union had no op-
ton but to strike The alternative was
eventual destruction of the union. Sc
attic union labor of all crafts was
quick to rally to this challenge.

Engineering Organ Gives

fRy the Federated Press.l

NEW YORK, June 13.-That wage
gains depend upon unions and that I'M
organized workers get it in the neck
is demonstrated by survey of wages
in the construction industry in the last
so years made by the Engineering
News-Record. Common labor with
the least proportion of union organiza-
ton is shown to have received the
least proportion of wage increase and
suffered the most from unsettled
working conditions.
Bricklayers are recorded with the
greatest gain, from 43 cents an hour
in 1872 to $3.50 today, both for an s.
hour day. Carpenters are shown sec
ond with an increase from 20 cents in
1874 to S1.31A today, with the S-hour
day since 1890. Structural iron work
ers are rated third with a present
average the same as carpenters.
Turning to building materials the
report states that common bricks have
almost tripled in price in the so years
pine lumber has more than doubled,
and structural steel has almost dou-
bled.

after Life Service as

BY EDGAR MELS.

THE chairman of the Republican
committee and other leaders of that
party have asserted time and again
that the American people are not
interested in the debauchery, graft
and corruption that has been uncover
ed by Progressive Democrats and Re-
publicans in the last session of the
Congress. 1t is inconceivable to me
that the great mass of the American
people are so devoid of morality, of
honesty, and of sense of justice,
that they are willing to stand idly by
and not become justly indignant when
a great organization like the Vet
erans' Bureau, created for the pro-
lection of our manned soldiers, is
reeking with corruption, and the
heads of these departments are rob-
bing the men who were willing to
sacrifice their lives and health upon
the battlefields of France"
Burton *. Wheeler, junior Senator
from Montana and vice presidential
candidate on the La Toilette ticket,
thundered forth the above pronuncia-
mento with the zeal of the crusader

and shrubbery surrounding the estate

three weeks and was enjoying an in
formal vacation with his family.
1T is preposterous to think that
the American peoples morals" con-
tinued the Senator, "have sunk so low
that they are not interested when
their cabinet officers make their de-
partments dens- of iniquity. and
whisky permits are sold to bootleg
gers at so much d permit. and the
great Department of Justice, sup
posed to exercise it's powers impair
TALLY, makes a mockery of justice,
of the law and of the courts by per-
scouting it's enemy and protecting
the criminal element in this country
because it has donated money or po-
litical influence to the Republican
party. Do the people believe first in
the Republican party or in this Gov
ernment of ours? Are the American
people so little interested in the fu-
ture generations to come that they
care not whether our great natural
resources are bartered away by the
Secretary of the Interior in order
that the Secretary may enrich his
own private fortune?"
Direct In All He Does.
Mr.. Wheeler paused long enough
to venture a private opinion on the
subject 1t may be said that the
opinion was much to the point--that
it left no doubt as to the Senator's
stand. But as a pledge of non-use
was given, it must remain a deep

FORT WAYNE, IND), SEDALIA,
Mo, October 3.-Encouraged by the
reception given him last night in
Kansas City, Charles G. Dawes, Re-
publican nominee for Vice President.
planned today to continue his attack
on the La Toilette Independent can
didacy during a swing through In
diana, with a night meeting arranged
for Fort Wayne.
Four rear platform appearances had
been scheduled for Mr.. Dawes in the
Hoosier State-Terre Haute, Brazil
Charlottesville and Lafayette-but as
on yesterday during the trip to
Kansas City. several other stops prob
ably will be made.
Mr.. Dawes in Kansas City last night
spoke to the largest audience he has
had since his speaking campaign be-
gan. Convention Hall, where the
meeting was held, was crowded to
capacity.
The attack on the La Toilette can
didacy formed the theme of Mr.
Dawes address. He declared the
candidacy Of the Wisconsin Senator
had created the greatest tissue that
could be presented to the American
voters" And he assailed the alliance
between the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action, which,
meeting in Cleveland, nominated Mr..
la Toilette for the presidency, and
the Socialist party as "a menace to
American institutions and American
Government"
The Socialist party convention reso-
luton, declaring the Conference for
Progressive Political Action to have
been organized with the assistance
of the Socialist party" was read by
Mr.. Dawes to show, he said, the ma
ture of the alliance. Quotations also
were read from an article by Eugene
V. Debs, national chairman of the So
cialist party. declaring that mo fun
damental principle of socialism, has
been or will be compromised" by the
Socialist support of Senator La Fol-
lette.
Mr. Dawes, after his address to-
night at Fort Wayne, will return to
Chicago for two days rest before
starting a ten-day trip through Min
nesota, South Dakota, Nebraska.
