BANKERS LICK
THEIR CHOPS
AT CHEAP LAND
Say Depression Has Its
Compensations

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1O.-Faced by
bankruptcy of farmers and collapse
of bankers turnout the northwest, big
business induced Louis Hill, son of the
late James ]. Hill, to head an Are-We-
Downhearted expedition of rs editors
and reporters of financial and other
subservient journals from the east.
The explorers have returned from
their trip to the Pacific. They found
that the depression has it's compensa-
tions. The Cincinnati Times-Star man
found, for example, that thousands of
acres in North Dakota are purchasable
"at reasonable price" Another editor
discovered that the depression has
been a lesson" A Boston scribe had
little to say about the farmers but
thought Tacoma, Seattle and other
towns were revelation.
Two days Of the prosperity hike
were spent in Glacier national park
where they pursued their investigation
by being initiated into the Blaakfoot
Indian tribe.
Their unanimous vote, as Louis Hill
might have predicted before he organ.
lied the booster expedition, is that the
northwest is not busted. Federal sta
tistics in bankruptcy proceedings don't
count.

DAILY WORKER
MOST POPULAR
PAPER AT MEET
C. P. P. A. Delegates
Eager to Read 1t

The DAILY WORKER was the
most popular newspaper in Cleveland
during the recent Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action and the so
cialist convention, according to the
| following letter from one of the en-
thusiastic workers, Saul Bergman:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July TO-
About seven years, ago, in my early
teens, l, like many other children of
workers, had to peddle the daily dope
which the employers are putting out
for the workers.
On July Fourth, l also went out to
sell newspapers, but what a contrastl
This time it was the DAILY WORK
Err, labor's own daily.
Capitalist Newsies Complain.
It was nine o'clock in the morning.
July Fourth, just before the conven-
ton of the G. P. P. A. convened. The
DAILY WORKER newsboys were
! quite noticeable around the hall
where the convention was being held.
The newsboys were members Of the
Y. w. L. English branch.
The newsboys selling the capitalist
papers complained to me that they
could not sell their papers and asked
me what kind Of paper the DAILY
WORKER was that everybody was
buying.
Sell Literature Fast.
We received 500 copies OF the
DAILY WORKER and sold everyone.
The reason mention this fact is be-
cause Norman Hapgood, editor OF
Hearst's yellow International maya
zine, in an article in one Of our CAPT
talist papers, stated that as far as he
could notice. no DAILY WORKERS
were sold at this convention. Why
even Johnson bought one.
Besides selling 500 copies Of the
DAILY WORKER, other papers were
disposed Of: so Labor Heralds, Sow
let Russia Pictorials, and 1000 copies
OF the Farmer-Labor Voice were dis
tributed to the delegates.
Favorable Comment.
Some delegates remarked that the
DAILY WORKER was good labor
paper and should be supported by the
organized labor movement.
The second day two Y. P. S. L.
members from New York (there are
none here) started selling their maya
zine, Free Youth, and. after shouting
their heads off all afternoon, they con-
fessed to me that they had sold six
copies. Yours for real Farmer-La-
Dor Party, Saul Bergman.

BY BEN elTLow.

In the face of the agricultural and
impending industrial crisis, Wall
Street intrenches itself. Coolidge, the
strike breaker, and Davis, the attor-
ney for the house of Morgan & Co.,
became it's candidates, respectively,
for president on the republican and
democratic tickets. The rule Of the
plumber bund, the continuance of Tea
pot Dome government is assured.
The millions Of workers and farm
ers who are daily being impoverished
thru capitalist exploitation and rob-
berry will continue to be savagely
crushed under the iron heel of the
capitalist dictatorship functioning thru
the complete control of the United
States government by Wall Street.
The millions of bankrupt farmers who
will dare revolt because they have
been robbed of their land and the
products of their toll will be kept in
submission, by force if necessary, by
the intrenched capitalist government
The coming industrial crisis, with
it's millions of unemployed, with it's
strikes and lockouts, certain as the
open shop war now approaches, will
demonstrate to the workers that the
government is a government of the
capitalist minority.
Coolidge and Davis, ever ready to
crush the aspirations of the workers
will brutally suppress every demand
of the starving unemployed workers
for bread and work.
Coolidge and Davis, both bitter en-.
emies of organized labor, both expe.

give their undivided support and that

lation. For 40 years his fight has been
futile and accomplished nothing. The
LaFollette candidacy is supported by
lesser capitalists who are just as an
tagonistic to the workers as are the
big capitalists. LaFolletteism means
confusion for the workers and farm
ers, betrayal Of their interests and the
continued rule of capitalism.
Workers Party Flights Enemy.
The Workers Party Of America is
the only party that enters the 1924
campaign with program that is truly
in the interests Of the workers. The
Workers Party is the only party that
challenges the rule of capitalism. The
Workers Party enters the political
arena by calling upon the workers and
exploited farmers to unite their
forces in a struggle against capital
ism. The Workers Party would de-
stroy Teapot Dome government by
destroying capitalism from which Tea
pot Dome government arises.
The Workers Party is the party Of
the workers.
The Workers Party has no interests
separate and apart from those of the
masses that by their sweat and toll
produce the wealth of the country.
The Workers Party is the hcampion
Of every fight on the part of the work
ers against their oppressors.
The Workers Party stands for the
unity Of the workers and exploited
farmers on the political field in gen
uine Farmer-Labor Party.
For Rule of Workers.
The Workers Party stands for the
rule OF the workers against the rule
Of the Wall Street plumber bund.
Against Teapot Dome government the
Workers Party raises the slogan Of a
workers and farmers government
thru Soviets.
Workers and farmers: A vote for
the Workers Party is vote against
Strike Breakers Coolidge and Dgvis
and the betrayer, LaFollette. It is a
vote against Wall Street. It is q vote
for the Liberation Of the masses from
capitalism.

INDUSTRY CROWS
STEADILY THRU
SOVIET RUSSIA
BY ANlsE.


Federated Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW, July 9.-Russian indus
try is not now making the sudden and
spectacular advances by which year
ago it seemed to spring from almost
complete ruin into comparatively
fiourishing condition. But it inereas-
es at a rate which in most countries
would be rapid. In the past half year,
1023-24 the production of state indus
try in general has increased % per
cent over the preceding half year.
In few industries there has been
a decrease Of output, notably in rub
Der goods, salt, clothing, silk and to-
bacco. In some of these the decrease
was deliberate, lest the market could
not absorb all the goods.
In certain basic industries the i'm
provement has been marked. The out
put of coal increased 3S per cent,
leading to sales crisis in which
many large state industries were or
dered at some sacrifice to go over at
once from wood to coal fuel, to steady
the market. The output of mines has
increased 81 per cent. cement works
176, china ware SO, metal wares rs,
electrical goods 81, chemical goods 55
per cent.
In general, the increase has been
about 2S per cent and this over a per-
iod of serious difficulty The first
three months were marked by the
crisis in distribution last autumn,
caused by the low price of grain in
comparison to the high price of prod
ucts. Hardly had this been partly
overcome when the final stabilizing Of
all money in Russia put severe
strain on all industry.

and hopelessness. For the workers,
unemployment, starvation, long hours,
savage exploitation, injunctions, gov
eminent strike breaking, low wages,
the open shop and brutal suppression
OF any attempt on the part of the
workers to assert themselves.
For the capitalists, continued cap
italist rule functioning successfully as
the dictatorship of the Wall Street
plumber bund, continued Teapot Dome
government, with its wanton political
debauchery and corruption, continued
unhindered protection in the right of
the capitalists to monopolize the
wealth and resources of the country
for their own aggrandizement, contin-
ued unchecked permission to grind
into dollars and cents the toll of mil
lions of unhappy working class chill
dren, continued free and unrestricted
savage exploitation Of the workers in
industry.
LaFoIlette for Capitalism.
Against the moloch of capitalist rule
enters LaFollette as an Independent
candidate for the presidency. LaFol-
lette does not challenge the right of
capitalism to continue. He only de-
sires to regulate it. LaFollette is not
the representative of the workers, the
exploited farmers and agricultural
workers. LaFollette is the repre-
sentative of the small bankers, we'll
TODD farmers, small business men and
manufacturers. LaFollette is an en-
envy of the workers and poor farmers.
When the workers and farmers were
making a superhuman effort to organ
lie their forces into a Farmer-Labor
Party that would fight in their inter-
ests, LaFollette came to the aid of
Wall Street and betrayed the Farmer
Labor movement

In the LaFollette band wagon are
labor union officials who have been
the lackeys of the capitalists for
decades and who have repeatedly sold
out and betrayed the workers. For 40
years LaFollette fought as an indie
pendent upon program of trust regu-

MILITARISTSC CRY
FOR CRUISERS TO
PROTECT TRADERS
British Want Canada to
Help Navy
BY SYDNEY WARREN,

Federated Press Staff correspondent.)
VANCOUVER, B. c., July 1O.-A
section of the British fleet, headed by
the S27OOO,OOO battle cruiser Hood, is
at Vancouver on a ten-day visit to
further the big navy propaganda of
England's imperialists.
This purpose has been made per-
fectly plain, One of Vice Admiral
Fields first statements on arrival was
to proclaim "the great trade routes
of the empire can only be protected
by battle cruisers" No effort has
been made to disguise the fact that
Englands swashbucklers resent Can
ada's cutting of her naval expenditure
and practically scrapping the embryo
navy, consisting of one light cruiser
end two destroyers, presented to the
dominion by the British war Office to
stimulate a big naval program.
Want Canadian Navy.
AS a followup to Fields big navy
talk, the Canadian newspapers carried
an editorial sermon from the London
Times which took Canada to task for
not helping with ships and men. mo
doubt the dominion government has
its reasons for not following the ex-
ample of Australia with its small but
efficient navy, or New Zealand nth
its contribution Of cruisers and men, .
preached the Times, "but nevertheless
it is permissible to hope that the visit
of the squadron may help to breathe
a little more reality into the inscrip-
ton, He shall have dominion also
from sea to sea, which is carved SO
deep above the entrance to the house
Of parliament at Ottawa"
Ally Japan.
BY a coincidence that seems sus-
picious. Walter Moffat Marks, reac-
tionary Australian politician, is here
on a private naval inquiry. This
worthy, whose parliamentary career
began in company with the labor rem
egade, w. NJ Hughes, after the armis-
tice in 1918, added his bit to the big
navy cry by saying: UNLESS this navy
is kept up to the full strength allowed
under the Washington agreement, it
is my opinion the empire can no long
er flourish"
Referring to Japan, Marks made it
plain that British imperialists had
made military ally of Japan in order
to keep large section Of the Asiatic
people in ecoonmic control
