Labor Faker Saves
Money on Funeral
Of Samuel Gompers

II a prominent labor leader died
every week, Harry Jensen, president
of the Carpenters District Council,
would be about ten thousand dollars
to the good, on that item alone, ac-
cording to a carpenter from Harry's
home town who walked into the office
Of the DAILY WORKER yesterday
Not seeing any close connection be-
tween dead labor takers and dough,
tho the connection is quite obvious
when they are alive, the reporter
nailed the carpenter down to a more
specific recital, so to speak.
This is what developed: The last
report to come to the membership of
the Carpenters Union here in Chica-
go from their district council showed
that Harry Jensen received s35O.O0
for going to New York to see Sam
Gompers planted between Andy Car
negie and "Rill" Rockefeller.
Was Quite a Climber.
The carpenter from Jensen's home
town (where it is reported Harry
made quite name for himself. being
a social climber in the widest possible
sense) observed that his townie was
a thrifty chap and preferred to be on
the receiving than the giving end Of
everything but a dangerous weapon,
and could not fancy him travelling to
New York on the Twentieth Century
which would put dent of fifty dollars
on his little nest egg, leaving 100000
TO paint Gotham red.
What it cost to travel up to Yonkers,
where Sam was buried, would not
purchase a cargo of Haig and Haig,
but the man from the little town
where Jensen used to play around,
figured that Harry must have at least
two hundred of the $4,000 when he
got back to the Windy City
He Saw the Connection.
1t then began to dawn on the I'M
sophisticated reporter that there was
a connection between dead labor
takers and savings accounts.
Harry dresses better since he be-
came a labor leader than he used to
when Ginning into attics in his home
town." observed the visiting carpen-
ter. "The cops were not rs friendly
to Harry then as they have become
since he began expelling radicals from
the union" said our friend as he de-
parted.

SPECTATORS IN
GRAIN BENEFIT
FROM GOOD CROP
Farmers AS Usual the
Narrow End
ny The Federated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = Why
wheat prices are high, and have risen
steadily since last summer, is ex.
planned in a special summary issued
by the department of agriculture, ans.
wering complaints that laws against
speculation in grain futures are not
enforced.
Reduction Of acreage by 10 per
cent or IL percent for the northern
hemisphere, and bad crop on this re.
duced acreage, outside the United
States, is the fundamental fact which
has driven prices upward, the depart
ment says. The crop in the United
States was only 100000 bushels
more than the small but disastrously
low-priced crop of 1929" and it was
25,OOO,000 bushels below the 5-year
average.
Admitting that these conditions are
unlikely to occur on the average
more than once in many years." the
department argues that if the farmers
would provide themselves with stor.
age facilities, so that they could hold
their grain for the winter market in
stead Of rushing it to market as soon
as 1t is thrashed, they would get the
benefit Of high-price year. 1t claims
that wheat prices, of which the specu-
lators are now getting all the benefit,
are still just at parity with all com.
modities in purchasing power.

ASWELL URGES
ESPIONAGE FOR
ALIEN WORKERS
Asks War Against Seven
Million Foreign-Born
(Hy The Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Registra.
ton of every alien in the United
States every year, and continuous
tagging" of his whereabout by the
federal government are proposed by
Congressman Aswell of Louisiana, a
former school teacher, in bill which
he has introduced too late for consid-
GRAFTON in this congress.
1T is estimated that there are
100000 aliens in this country who
have not taken out their first papers,"
he says, land hence have no intention
Of becoming supporting American citi.
zens. They sent back to their various
countries last year $500, 100000 which
they saved by living here on pennies.
They get all they can from our bene-
iicent government and yet hold their
allegiance to foreign governments.
There are aliens in the United States
who enjoy the. protection of our flag
and yet if they could would destroy
it,"
For Spy System.
Under his scheme, the arriving alien
would be made to pay a fee of $40 for
original registration, and would have
to register and pay SIS every year
thereafter until he became an Ameri.
can citizen. All aliens now here would
have to make the $40 and IS payments
too, and report at the registration of
fees, which would generally be the
post offices.
When an alien wished to leave one
district to reside in another, he would
have to first notify the Office where
he had been registered, and then with.
in 4S hours of arrival notify the Office
in the district to which he moved.
This is the old Russian and German
imperial police system of espionage
upon the movements Of individuals.
Why Not Fingerprints Too?
In order to give the alien a proper
sense of his being under the eye of
the police, he would be compelled to
secure a certificate of Identification.
which must be shown to any officer
OF the department of justice, depart
mont of labor or police power of the
several states. Penalties would be in.
fiicted for failure to produce this
passport when accosted by a police Of

ing house keepers, Just as in the old
European scheme, would be compelled
to report Immediately the arrival OF

Families In Destitute

Despite the columns Of optimism
published in the capitalist press,
boasting of the great industrial pros
perity prevailing in America, the
stories that come into the office Of the
DAILY WORKER from the coal re-
gions of southern Illinois carry a
different message.
There, we find want, real want.
Many of these coal miners have been
idle for two years thru closing down
of the mines, and mining is practically
the only industry in those regions.
Letter From Miner.
The DAILY WORKER has repeat
eddy called the attention Of it's read
ers to the sufferings of the depend
ents of the unemployed coal miners,
and the following letter from the presi-
dent of local union in SCISSOR shows
that the miners are appreciative:
Dear Comrades:-I received pack
age of clothing from the DAILY
WORKER yesterday and wish to
thank the DAILY WORKER for same,

The miners have never failed to
respond to appeals for assistance in a
working class fight when they were
financially able to do so. No other
section of the American working class
displayed as much generosity. This
should be an added reason why our
readers should not forget the miners

N. P. L. Governor Fights
Child Labor Law
BY ALFRED kNUTsoN.
Especial to The Daily Wor<er)

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 1S.-Discus.
sion has been started here among
state Legislators as to what kind of
bills and resolutions should be intro.
duced.
League Officials at Sea.
The steering committee Of the non
partisan league so far has no definite
plank and purpose, and absolutely no
program of interest to the working
farmers Of the state. It is doubtful
whether league leaders will propose
the passage Of any bills and resolu-
tions that will be Of value to the ex.
plotted farmers and workers, notwith.
standing the fact that such measures
have no chance of getting by the /.
". A. (Big Business) controlled sen
ate, and cannot stand the test Of the
courts.
This would mean that no battle
will be waged in behalf of the bank
rupt. and mortgaged farmers, except
for the lone fight Of A. C. Miller, the
one Communist, because, ultimately,
they can only be helped when CAPT.
talist legislatures and capitalist courts
have been done away with altogether
1t is exactly the political institu-
tons of capitalism that hinder the So
luton Of the farmers problems, and
its is against these institutions VIC
must fight.
sorIle for Child Slavery.
Sorlie, the league governor, is
against the child labor amendment,
which is only bourgeois and inefec.
tive substitute for real abolition of
child slavery, it is true, but neverthe-
less genuine issue in which workers
and farmers are widely interested and
around which the Workers (Commun.
ist) Party is rallying all poor formers
and industrial workers to compel ac-
ton.
Sorlie's hostility to the ratification
of the child labor amendment does not
suit many of the nonpartisan league
members Of the legislature, who be
lieve that it should be ratified. The
lone Communist, A. c. Miller, has
made ratification Of the child labor
amendment a leading issue in his pro
gram, and On this as on other points
the governor is meeting opposition
from league members.

THERE IS a demand for increas-
ing wages by employees Of large
corporations in the entire country to
war time scales. There is another
class of people who are deeply in
terested in the problem Of raising
prices, and that class is these who
farm the land, produce the foods,
fruits, vegetables and poultry and
meats. 1t is pertinent for them to
ask for many things.
Why not raise price Of farm pro-
ducts, wheat, corn, cattle and hogs
to wartime figure?
Why not raise wages Of all labor
to the scale that was paid during the
great World War, and not alone rail
unions?
The farmers who have to raise
raw material on small margins in
open competition with world mar
kets and pay freight to market
would probably vote unanimously
for a few hundred million dollars
in railroad payrolls.

THE ANNUAL LAST MINUTE
rush to secure automobile licenses
will be on during the next two
weeks; as usual, many car owners
will be compelled to wait and enjoy
enforced inconvenience because of
their failure to secure their tags be-
fore the rush started. The same
scene is enacted each year at the
Titling Department in Dover where
the bulk of licenses are issued; but,
there are those who seem not to
learn from past experience and who,
on the contrary, apparently get
pleasure out of waiting for hours to
secure the necessary permits to op-
crate motor vehicles. The Secretary
of States office commenced a cam
paign several months ago and is
sued advice to the motorists to an
ticipate their needs for next year,
so that they might be spared the in
convenience of long delays during
the rush season. The drive has had
it's result, and thousands of persons
have leisurely applied and received
their licenses. There are thousands
of tardy ones, however, who have
not responded to the plea of the au-
thorities. They will be the disap-
pointed ones. The Delaware auto
mobile laws prohibit the use Of Ii
cense tags of 1925 after January
5th next. The State Highway Po-
lice have been instructed to arrest
any and all persons operating cars
after that date with an old license
tag, or a 1925 drivers license. Mo-
torists have only two weeks in
which to make application for and
secure their permits. If you have
already delayed, and desire to use
your car after the first of the year,
you will do we'll to apply at the
earliest possible date. Prompt pur-
chase of a license is far better than
later payment of a heavy fine.
