KEEP TERMS OF
BRYAN'S WILL
A DEEP SECRET
Probate Held Up, He
Forgot Executors
tspeeIaI to Nae Daily Worker,

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. Filling of the
last will and testament of the late
William Jennings Bryan for probate
is being held up by a curious over
sight of the politician In railing to
name the executors.
This became known when members
of the Bryan family today prepared to
ask the probate court to remedy the
oversight.
As a result Of Bryan's oversight,
funds regularly maintained and sup
ported by him and institutions to
which he habitually contributed must
await the legal measures being taken
for the administration of the estate.
No member Of the Bryan family can
issue checks against me commoner's
bank account until the commission has
been rectiied.
1T is thot likely that the probate
court may name Mrs. Bryan admins
tratrix of the will. Meanwhile, the
terms of the testament are closely
suarded secret.

CARNEY IN COWARDLY
APPEAL TO CAL FOR
PARDON PRAISES KHAN

ATLANTA, Ca, August 7.--Marcus
Carney has sent a bo-page letter to
the president appealing for an execu-
tive pardon. Garvey states that IL
pardoned, he will leave the country
as soon as he can get his business
straight. He also said in his letter
that he thought the ku klux khan was
body Of upright christian gentlemen.
He claims that because he agrees with
the ku klux khan, the Judge and jury
that tried HIS case were prejudiced
against him. He also stated that had
the Judge and jury not been mostly
Jews and Catholics, they would have
cleared him.
Carney claims to represent the Ne
gro peoples OF the world. We won
der II Garvey is a knave or a fool to
think that Negro people will ever be-
lieve like ku klux khan In white su-
premacy, iynching, Jim Crowism, Sc
gregation, or other forms OF race
hatred? Carney claims to be suffering
from bronchial asthma. We think II

vagrancy, but this was dismissed and
six of the seven men arrested we're

Been Serving Since December, 1921.
The trial of the these six fellow

were charged and indicted on five
counts, and they we're found guilty by
the jury after deliberation Of twenty
two hours of violation of the fifth and
last count of the indictment, which
was that Of circulating literature.
They were all Sentenced to the
usual one to fourteen years in prison
and began serving their sentences in
San Quentin on December 9, 1921. Nc
Laughlin was transferred to Folsom
about a month later; probably due to
the overcrowded condition at San

Theodore Wind Framed
Up by c. of c.

Theodore ]. Wind, former president
of the South Chicago Trades and La
Dor Council, and Ave other men as
ISOLATED with him were freed from
the prospect Of prison today by COM
mutation of sentence. Wind was con-
victed in 1922 and sentenced to Joliet
for receiving a bribe to settle a
strike, but was not yet imprisoned.
"The charges upon which Wind and
his associates were convicted grew
out Of labor conditions in Chicago and
Cook county during the latter part of
the year 1921 and the early part Of
1922" said statement from the gov
ernor's office at Springfield and con-
tinued X 81
Governor Says Chamber Of Commerce
Framed Wind.
1T is now conclusively shown that
the money was accepted by the per-
sons convicted upon the recommends
ton and insistence of the local cham
Der of commerce of South Chicago,
to whom the whole matter was pres
ented before any payment was made"
William 2. Foster, secretary of the
Trade Union Educational League and
leader of the great steel strike of 1919,
when interviewed yesterday said,
Theodore Wind was an active organ
izer in the strike Of the steel work
ers, and because of that he was later
framed up on false charges of bribery
by the capitalist class and sentenced
TO prison"
Foster Glad to Hear Wind Freed
I'VE are glad to see him released,
as his only crime was his loyalty to
organized labor Capitalism is making
a prison sentence a badge of honor in
the labor movement. and it is to the
credit Of the Chicago unions that they
supported the fight for Winds release
with big campaign, in which lead
ing left wingers in the Chicago Fede-
ration actively participated"

It is reported to the DAILY WORK
ER from authoritative sources that
the ]. L. Taylor company will next
week lay OF its office force and close
down its shops. The company has
been unable to secure scabs, even
when given permission to use the A.
F. of L. name, and the doors will be
locked in the near future. An attempt
will be made to keen the International
Tailoring company's doors open.
Rock Island Move Exploded.
That the securing Of a six-months'
lease on the bankrupt plant Of the
Boone wooden mills at Rock Island
was an empty gesture aimed to bluff
the Amalgamated is shown by the adj
vertisement inserted in the newspa-
pers. If the company seriously plan
ned to move to Rock Island, there
would be no need to call on the United
Garment Workers to supply scabs.

ton.
TNORTY-THREE per cent Of the
4 Reading stock was in the hands
Of the B. and o. and the New York
Central. The competing roads we're
trying to corral a majority of the
stock. The N. Y. c. and the B. and o.
got busy and grabbed majority. Now
the big fellows in Wall Street are go
ing to scrap over the spells. The
bankers will make the final decision
and the smaller systems are going to
be parcelled out among the big giants
as the bankers see fit. This is the
way railroads are juggled under the
capitalist system. They change hands
over night, but the manipulations are
carried out unknown to the slaves
who make the profits for the iugglers.
YOU may often notice when prom
inent capitalist passes away, that
he is an officer in a great number Of
corporations. He may be president,
vice-president or director. Those fell
lows pay themselves whatever salary
they see fit. They may be drawing
salaries from twenty different corpor-
ations and dividends from their in
vestments in those companies. The
salaries Of those officers, not to speak
Of dividends they draw, constitute a
tremendous train on industry. Yet
those are the very men who make
much of the wages that workers in
the building trades are able to force
out Of the employers when they are
able to secure employment.
DURING the reorganization OF the
~ Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road. two firms of Wall Street bank
ers put in a claim amounting to ST.
S64,249.79 for compensation for serv-
ices rendered in shuffling the stock
and putting the business in shape
again. The lawyers demanded $780,
900. The interstate commerce COM
mission was quite generous. 1t allow
ed 100000 to the lawyers and $780,
900 to the bankers. The wage slaves
on the katy" viii sweat many gal
Ions before that much is sucked out Of
their bodies in profits.
ONE Of the commissioners made the
" following comment on the exor-
bitant demand of the lawyers: 1T
was testified in this case that the serv-
ices of one Of the lawyers were worth
$500 per day. Men receiving such
compensation usually entertain a
righteous conviction that it corre-
spends with intrinsic worth, altho, at
the same time, they may be incensed
that painters or carpenters should as
sumo to demand and be able to exact
SIS per day for their services" Not

Dear Dillingham; and Challis Folks:
At last we are back in Idaho the
Gem of the Mountains" AS ! write
&c are staying at Mrs. Mary Parkes'
home in Boise. enjoying her line hos
pitality and her mothers Mrs. Adams
and little Eleanor Neal.
Today Sunday Mary and her mo-
Ither had Mrs. Babe" and Willard
Frost for dinner and the Challis spir-
| it was much in evidence. Before we
Ireturn TO Challis we expect to visit
our other Challis friends who live
here.
| During our visit to Oregon and
Washington we have met many old
friends and nothing has delighted us
more than to see those who were
children in the church we have serv-
ed now having families of their own
and getting along so well and turn
ling out much better than we ever
lever thought they would.
Nothing however gave us so much
delight and inspiration than the great
IC. E. Convention at Portland, when
for five days $4,000 young folks filled
the city with their joyous songs, par
aiding one day In different squads for
80 blocks. The leaders all over this
country and other countries led the
enthusiastic crowds of young people
into many fields of christian thought
and activity. It was great, equally
great. as to the enthusiasm and much
greater as to money spent in prepar-
alton and in parading than was the
great Elk's Convention. For an hour
and a half we stood in one of the
buildings and watched 10000 Elks in
many colored costumes and forms
led by 81 bands parading the streets
of Portland. IT was a never to be for
gotten sight, well worth going long
distance to see.
After seeing multitudes of people,
Young and old, and the way they live
we feel that this world is not such
bad place to live in and that little
consideration for the other fellow
DOESN'T hurt ANYBODY. So long,
Your friends
