CAPITALIST PRESS
USING CRIPPLES
TO BOOST SALES
Park Cork Legs Until
Days Work Is Done
Especial to The Daily work.r.)

TOLEDO. Ohio, April IAN in
stance has just come to my notice,
where a one-legged cripple can be
made to produce more profits than a
man who has two legs.
For over two years the two largest
Toledo papers, The News-Bee and
The Blade, have been giving premi-
ums for new subs.
Each paper employs crew of
solicitors, who were furnished with
premiums to entice the reader to
drop one bunk sheet and take the
other one.
More Circulation.
1t seems the circulation manager
of one paper has been hard pressed
with the necessity of getting more
circulation and at the same time cut
ting down expenses in his depart
ment.
He has discovered by experiment.
ing that he can increase circulation
faster by using cripples as solicitors.
This came to the writer's notice in
the following manner:
The writer answered the door the
other day. when cripple with only
one leg asked me If would not sub
scribe to The News-Bee, which he
was soliciting for
have no use for the capitalist
sheets, but | wanted to know how
business was, so I asked the solicitor
what premiums they we're giving.
He said he did not get any prem
iums to work with and never had any
trouble in getting business.
| thought perhaps The News-Bee
had at last stopped giving premiums,
so | inquired of other solicitors and
was informed that they were all using
premiums, but the cripples who had
to work without them.
The other solicitors say that the
crippled solicitors get twice as much
business as they do with premiums.
This solicitor who is crippled has
a cork leg that he puts on after he is
thru working.

RUMOR PERSH|NG
SLATED AS NEXT
WAR SECRETARY
w eeks to Be Out by
Midsummer

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Rumors
that Gen. Pershing would be named
as the next secretary of war, to sti-
multe fascist loyal" spirit turnout
the country, were afloat in Washing
ton within an hour after it became
known that john w. Weeks, present
head of the war department, had suf-
fered an attack of thrombosis (para-
lysis), and would probably soon re-
sign.
Later news of Weeks condition in
Dictated that he would be only tenn
porarily crippled, and that he might
be strong enough to serve out the
present year, but it was admitted that
he probably would be out of the cabin
ct by midsummer.
Pershing has been ordered to Peru
to have charge of the Tacna-Arica
plebiscite, in case the Peruvian pro-
test at the Hughes Coolidge award in
that land-grabbing case does not be-
come fiat rejection of the plebiscite
plan. His selection to head the war
department would require the appoint
ment of another man for the South
American job.
Traditionally, the secretary OF war
has been a civilian. This act may de-
termine President Coolidge against
the selection Of Pershing. On the
other hand, he may decide to set an
other precedent for enlarging the
scope of choice to be employed by the
White House. II he finds, however,
that Pershing is candidate for the
presidential nomination in 1928, the
general will go to South America.

If GERMANY PAYS
We ARE RUiNED',
SAYS FRENCHMAN'
Dawes Plan Strangles
French Industry
Especial to The Daily worksr.)

PARIS, April THE impossibility
Of making the Dawes plan work is
beginning to dawn upon the manufac-
turing interests of France The lat
est complaint of M. DardeI, president
Of the syndicate of French manufac-
turers of rolling stock sums up the
whole situation in the phrase "If
Germany pays we are ruined"
The industrial chiefs of France,
foreseeing the ruin of Franch indus
tries by the infiood of German goods
received on the Preparations account,
are making representations to the
government to accept only merchan-
disc not interfering with products
manufactured here.
An UnsoIVabIe Dilemma.
In the case referred to by M. Oar
del thru a letter written to the min
lister of finance, reference is made to
the Weisbaden agreement providing
for the delivery by Germany to
France OF $500 passenger cars, rep
resenting a value of s0,0OO,0OO francs
(about s4.OO0,00O), which Dardel com
plains should have been spent with
French industries.
The letter stresses the fact that
France today is in a better position
than ever to manufacture rolling
stock and railway supplies, as during
the war most of the factories in the
north were destroyed and others were
constructed in the south to take care
Of the war needs. Since the armis-
tice the northern factories have been
reconstructed bigger than ever.
Only Market has no Money.
The letter states that the French
factories are able to build 5000 loco
motives annually. while the French
roads do not need more than 100. II
adds that the overproduction is ac-
oehtuated by the German deliveries
Of many times the needs.

AS WE SEE IT
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY

~ and paralyzed war veterans OF
Italy who fought and bled for King
Emmanuel, follows the example of
Giovanni Piroli, his majesty might
have to take an organ around the
streets and grind it for living. Else
he might commit suicide, which would
be more BETTING to his rank and per-
fectly satisfactory to US. What Piroli
did was to appear before the kings
gate tattered and torn, mutilated
wreck of what was once man.
80
DIROLI asked to see the king, and
unless we are being spoofed by a
cub reporter, the gateman was un-
usually obliging. He HE'D forth to
Emmanuel and told him what he saw
at the portals. The next reel brought
the crippled relic of humanity to the
kings presence. The hero told his
king what had happened and then
made the polite suggestion that com
pensation for his valor was in order.
He limited that an iron cross or a
new pair Of Boston garters would not
fill the bill.
THE best is yet to come. After
4 Piroli returned from the war, at
least all that was left of him, greedy
landlord came along and evicted him
from his cottage. 1t appears that the
landlord was selling hot dogs on the
market place in Rome while the hero
was ducking Austrian bullets. While
the hero was away fighting for his
king, the landlord was getting glori-
ously drunk but remained sober long
enough to purchase the cottage in
which the hero was born. There is.
a moral, right here if you care to paint
or otherwise adorn it. Evidence that
a man may accumulate wealth de-
spite an occasional sniff at a whis-
key glass, while many strict teetotal-
lers die with dry whistles because
they each lack the price of a glass of
orangeade.
ITTHEN the hero returned he was so
W sick that he could not marry a
munition makers daughter or even a
red cross nurse. In fact, this was
his only gain from the war. The land
lord forgot about the cottage for a
few weeks while he celebrated the vic
tory of Italian arms over Austria, but
when his small change began to get
-scanty, he wandered around to collect
his rent The sight Of a paralyzed
hero almost gave him the hiccups, but
he smothered his desire to kill when
informed in trembling voice that Pr
roll had no money, nothing but a
breast full of patriotism At that the
landlord had a lot of patience.
THE landlord, exercising his consti-
4 tutional right as an s. L. p man
would say, refrained from reverting
to barbarism and realized that he was
on the civilized plane. He did not
kill his tenant. but evicted him with
out further discussion. Attempts of
the tenant to point out that he was
wounded patriot kept the landlords
temper at the boiling point Who
ever heard of patriot getting his re-
ward anywhere but in the neck and
Piroli got it twice in many different
places.

the passing of time and Pirol is shi-

invite HOWAT
TO SPRINGFIELD
MINERS PROTEST
Kansas Fighter Ruled
of Ballot BY Machine
Especial to The Daily wOrker.l


SPRINGFIELD, H., April ALEX
ander Howat, veteran leader of the
Kansas coal miners, has been invited
to speak at the protest demonstra-
ton, this Sunday, at Reservoir Park,
to protest against the effort Of the
Farrington-Lewis regime in the Unit
ed Mine Workers Union to usurp the
presidency Of Illinois Sub-District
Four, to which Freeman Thompson,
spokesman of the miIitants, was reg
ularly reelected at the last elections.
Howat is himself a victim of the
same vicious tactics that are being
employed, in the attempted ousting
Of President Thompson. to break the
power of the opposition in the min
ers' union to the betrayal contained
in the longtime Jacksonville wage
agreement.
Howat Candidacy Is Rejected.
But Howat's name was not even al
lowed to go ON the ballot in the race
for the presidency Of the Kansas dis
trict; altho his name was placed in
nomination by ssYsry local union in
the state. FL
In order to maintain an appear
ance of legalism, an effort was at first
made by the interhatipnal machine to
force the Kansas ASSIMILATION to keep
Howat off the ballot When this fail
ed, then the Lewis-Farrington got
busy and struck Howat's name off
he Kansas ballot.
Springfield Miners for Thompson.
The harrington l. evils machine
knows that the coal miners of the
Springfield sub-district are of the
same kind as their Kansas comrades.
If there was any complaint against
the election of Thompson, as presi-
dent, it should have been lodged with
the sub-district organization. This
was never attempted.
Instead the Harrington controlled
district executive committee, in star
chamber session, and in violation of
the laws Of the organization, took up
the attack on the vote cast by two
of the militant local unions, denied
hearing to President Thompson, or
any other sub-district official, and
rendered it's decision declaring it's
tool, John A. Walker, president Of the
sub-district.
Tell IL to the Miners.
District President Harrington de-
clares in letter to Sub-District Presi-
dent Thompson that he must get out,
let Walker take his place, and II he
doesn't like the decision he can ask
for an appeal.
Howat and others who have fought
the Lewis-Farrington machine in the
past know what It means to take an
appeal against the decision of this
crowd. The refusal to let Howat pre-
sent his case before the last inter-
national convention Of the United
Mine Workers Union was perhaps
the greatest crime ever perpetrated
against a member of the miners I'M
ion.
New and startling facts as to many
other crimes of the Lewis-Farring-
ton dictatorship in the miners union
will be revealed by the speakers at
Sundays demonstration. which It is
expected more than 5000 miners will
attend.
