Gets Doublecross When
Strike is Broken

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s. Edward
Thompson, strikebreaker boss, has
filed suit against the Texas Transport
and Terminal Co. for $17,420, which
he alleges he would have been en-
titled to had he not been discharged.
Thompson was engaged as general SUI
perintendent in New Orleans over the
strikebreaking longshoremen during
1924, and was told by officials that the
job was his for life. His salary was
to be $55 week and all the overtime
necessary. William Harris, his assist
ant also files suit for $4,000 on the
same grounds.
While the strike was in its zenith
these men drew the wage agreed up-
on; but when the union was licked.
they were gradually let out.
The transportation company is say
ing nothing, but engaging the best le-
gal talent.

STRIKE AGAINST
conditions ALSO
PROTECTS WAGES
If Union Loses Control,
Wages Follow
icy The Federated Press,

PITTSTON, Pa, Jan. S.-The I'M
official strike of 10000 Pennsylvania
Hillside miners in the hard coal fields
comes out of long standing disputes
over working conditions and not from
any demand for a change in the wage
scale before the agreement runs out
But the fight to protect working con.
ditions is really a fight to protect
wages, the miners say. Under the
piece work system worse working con-
ditions mean worse wages.
Few unions in the country have
such pratical control over the details
Of the job as does the United Mine
Workers where It is we'll organized.
The present fight-the strikers say
is to retain this control. They are
seeking TO prevent the company from
laying off men at will, from keeping
tonnage miners at unproductive work
at which they cannot make regular
wages, from forcing the men to pay
the same price for inferior power, and
from other actions which have the
same general effect, of reducing the
earning power Of the men.
A list of the grievances, mine by
mine, has been prepared by the gen.
eral grievance committee OF the ten
striking locals. A summary is given
below. The committee says the strike
was forced because the company re.
fused to consent to adjustment thru
the regular adjustment machinery and
the committee charges the district
president with failure to take proper
action.

Women of the Capitalist
Class in Public Office
Loyal to Class Interests
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the yellow press exploits the fact that few
women have been elected to public office 1t tries leave
the impression that progress has taken great leap for
ward.
Capitalist editors always like to get women into the
And pctures Especially when they be touched
up make them look attractive. So the exploits of the
women executives and legislators will be improved
utmost in the weeks to to spice the dry
out of state captoIs with the beginning Of
year. The misinformed will be led to conclude that
The granting of suffrage to women, and the cleo
ton of women to public Office does not touch the
of capitalism. The of the capitalist class remain
loyal to their class interests The of labor still
held in the chains that bind their class the profit system
Woman suffrage does not change the class relation The
class strGgeio goes on the same
In c.Icrado in the legislature when
the egazed cossacks of the state militia shot down and
burned to death the and children of the coal
fields in what is known in labor history "The Ludlow
Massacre. But the Colorado legislature has been
denounced as "BolsheVik condemned for getting its
orders from Moscow. The and women in CoIorados
awmakng body have always been loyal to the Rockefeller
OF the Colorado Fuel Iron Co..
Capitalism shows no fear over the fact that Mrs. Miriam
A. Ferguson is governor of Texas because Mrs. Nellie
Taylor Ross is the executive head of Wyoming Wall Street
knows that its flag will continue to fly the capitol
buildings in both states.
Children will be exploited in the fields, and in
capitalist The fist Of the bankers
and landlords will be held close the face of the
andIess farmer both black and white. The of the
classes continues before.
In Wyoming Mrs. Ross may be governor, but the life of
the miner will be just bitter The 12hour day and the
sevenday week will continue in the oil fields owned by
Rockefeller The social order that gave the Teapot (Wyo
ming) Dome scandal to the nation will not get
scratched
The everywhere in all the legislatures
where the of the capitalist class have been elected
For instance four women sit in the Illinois legislature but
they raise no challenge to the Illinois Manufacturers Asso
citation or the Chambers OF Commerce They are all of the
breed
Suffrage for women will not take a new meaning
until the Communist women of the working class begin
entering the parIamens of capitalism in this country
in other nations.
Not until Ruth Fischer, Clara Zetkin, in this
country in Germany joins with the Communist of
her class in congress- in the state legislatures will
voice of legislator be heard the labor of the
class struggle 1t is to be hoped that that time is not far
distant.

WASHINGTON Jan. S.-The Inter.

commission because Of its endeavor to
bring all shops up to the standard
union rate.
In petition filed in the federal dis.

ISOLATION of Photo -Engravers, to main.
tain combination in restraint of
trade, by calling strikes on all shops
where the prices fixed by the employ

They charge that under clause 10"
of the contract between the interna.
tional and local unions and the EN-
ployers. the unions agreed to allow
their members to work only in shops
where the management is affiliated in
good standing with the employer
combine. The commission seeks to
get the court to enforce a subpoena
upon Local 10 of the Photo Engravers

Coolidge Makes Love to
High-Hat MiIIionaireS
Especial to The Daily workorl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
Judge Ebert Gary, head of the
United States Steel corporation,
who allowed his trust to break
every law on the calendar in the
1919 steel strike, presented a
resolution to President Coolidge
yesterday asking for claw en-
forcement." President Coolidge
always throws his doors open
to the steel trust head.
Gary is handy man when it comes
to supplying money to run presi-
Dental campaign, and besides, Cool
idge owns fat block of stock in the
United States Steel corporation.
Gary ate breakfast with the presi.
dent yesterday, and acted as chair
man of delegation of high hated
millionaires, including John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., S. S. Kresge, and other men
of big business. They were members
of a committee of one thousand"
seeking to enforce the prohibition
laws, and they commended Coolidge
for not getting drunk while on duty
in the interests of big business. Gary
commended President Coolidge for
his personal conscientious obedience
to the provisions of the eighteenth
amendment"
Rockefeller must have laughed I'D
his sleeve when talking to Coolidge
about law enforcement, If he remem-
bered the Colorado coal strike, when
his company, the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company hired thugs to muir
der the strikers, and evicted scores of
families from their homes.
And Gary must have had a good
laugh at the expense of the gullible
workers, if he recalled that during
the 1919 strike, gunner in the en-
ploy of the United States Steel cor
poration brutally murdered Fanny
Sellins, and that all meetings were
prohibited in all of the steel towns.
Strikers were arrested by the hun
dred, many were killed. and the state
constabulary of Pennsylvania was
called in by Gary to ride down strik-
ers-aIl for no other cause than that
they wanted the eight-hour day and
living wage.
Indeed, it was select company of
strikebreakers, that sat down at the
White House breakfast table yester-
day, with arch-strikebreaker Coolidge,
breaker of the Boston police strike,
leading the discussion on law en-
forcement"

fix financially as they are.

would put them on the mailing list

Forbes Ignorant of
Graft in His Bureau,
Is His New Defense

Charles Forbes, when head of the
United States veterans bureau, was
not interested in hospital building,
Col. e. E. Walton, chief of the con-
struction service of the war depart.
ment testified in Forbes defense.
Forbes is on trial in federal court
here charged with illegally letting
the contracts, according to Walton.
after he induced the war depart
ment to take over the opening Of bids
and the letting of contracts, Col.
Forbes said he cared only to inspect
the plans, and let the department
turn over the completed hospitals to
him as rapidly as possible" said Wal
ton.
The new defense of Forbes pic
lures him as a naive executive who
did not know what was going on un-
der him and who was not interested
in eliminating graft and corruption
in the veterans bureau.

POSTAL WORKERS
TO keep UP PAY
INCREASE FIGHT
Gals Veto Is Sustained
by Only One Vote

Altho disappointment was in the
air at the meeting of 300 members of
the Railway Mail Association in the
Hotel Sherman, because the senate
failed to override Coolidge's veto of
the bill increasing postal employees
salaries, they determined that the
fight would continue.
I'VE feel this especially because we
felt sure of victory" said Ellis Miller,
president of the association. I'VE be.
lieve firmly in our cause and have
not given up. We have great hopes.
Of an increase in the not distant
future. The fact that only one vote
was needed to give us the necessary
two-thirds vote shows our fight has
not been without results.
I'VE believe that the public is with
us and wants us to attain money
enough to live on-not merely to
exist. We want to be able to educate
our children and to live in happiness
and comfort"
The vote on the bill to increase the
pay OF the postal workers was IS to
20, but as only 2S votes against the
the bill were required to prevent its
passage over the veto of Coolidge BY
two-thirds vote, Coolidge's veto was
sustained and the bill will not become
law.
Coolidge pulled every wire he could
to stave of the passage OF the bill BY
two-thirds vote. He made promises.
threatened patronage. pulled eek
posures" OF graft, and submitted sew
eral substitute bills. Senator Borah.
who at one time posed as progrest
sive, voted with Coolidge. This camd
as no surprise. as Borah worked az
hard as any other Coolidge senatof
to prevent the postal workers irons
