The position of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor on production is a
matter of record, open to all. The
evidence of our belief is manifest in
our works, our production record
leads the world We hold that in
creasingly higher standards of living
can be assured only through increases
in production. AS essential to these
parallel advances, we have pointed
out there must be opportunities for
the producing workers to develop and
use their growing abilities.
Human development comes from
within; RECOMMENDATION from without
that ignores the will of workers is
restricted by it's failure to release
the highest driving initiative. Any
plans to secure highest production
must concern itself primarily with
power-human as we'll as mechanical
The highest powered sustained
activity for humans is possible only
when the creative resources of work
ers are released-when the focus is
on creative work Labor wants to
make it possible for each worker to
make his own time studies or any
thing else that will contribute to the
quality of his workmanship.
The first step toward this end is
organization of the work group to
deal with common problems collect

of standards of justice and right, the
workers are free to give themselves
unrestrictedly to production problems.

interests and welfare. Where it is

DEATH FOR OUTSIDE.
BANK ROBBERS
Inside Robbers Compare
lively Safe

In certain quarters there is much
rejoicing over the action of the Chi
cago and Cook County Bankers AS
sociation in offering reward OF
$4,000 to any peace officer or bank
employe who kills bank robber in
the act of robbing a bank.
Careful reading of the reward fails
to disclose that anything is to be paid
for the killing of bank president or
other INSIDE operator in the act of
getting away with the funds of the
bank.
Bank clerks who have bought
homes and are trying to pay for

tances are urged to be quick on the
trigger if the robbery is an OUTSIDE
job If bookkeeper in bank dis

but he may not kill the high official

A robber who attempts to loot a
bank from the OUTSIDE usually dis

covered no association of bankers or
financial newspapers advocate his
immediate and violent death.
Are we generalizing? Let's see.
In 1924, more than $7,000,000 was
stolen from banks in the United
States by bank officials and employees
INSIDE workers. In the same Pc
riod, less than $2,000,000 was stolen
in cash and securities from the United
States banks, by OUTSIDE robbers.
Thus it is shown that most of the
robberies are committed from the
INSIDE-by those who escape pun
ishment or get light sentences if they
are caught.
In 1924, the Prisoners Relief So
ciety handled the cases of over 100
former bank officials returning from
penal servitude.
In every community in the United
States there has been suffering at all
times from the embezzlement of some
official or from failures caused by
criminal acts. Nowhere do we know
of the outraged community asking
the death penalty for the offender.
When a bandit robs a bank the
insurance is likely to cover all losses
and the depositors lose nothing. When
a big inside job is done, the chances
are that the bank breaks and deposit
tors lose all.
The next time you hear groan
over the depredations of bandits who
go about masked and armed robbing
banks, ask the groaner to pause and
give thought to the extent of the
depredations of officials and possibly
he will donate couple of groans
about that.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-05-06

The speeches and the evidence of
the defense have thrown a fresh light
upon the situation in the year 1928:
the misery and the desperation of the
working masses, the threatening fas-
cist danger, the putsch OF the right
which was preparing and the attempt
of the Communist Party leaders to
create, along with the '1eft" social
democrats, the workers governments
OF Saxony and Thuringia as a bull
wark against reaction.
That the events OF 1923 and 1924
provide material for criticism of the
Communist leadership at that time, is
a well-known fact. But it is impos-
sible on the basis of what took place
at that time to bring a charge of high
treason against the Communist Party
Of Germany. During this trial in
Leipzig the charge has been complete
ly exposed. There remained nothing
else than a maneuver of the German
reaction and it's social democratic con-
federates for the purpose Of striking
at the hated fighting party OF the pro-
letariat. In order to achieve this aim
the class court does not shrink from
any breach Of the law W from any
baseness.
DY these maneuvers the court has
- achieved the exact contrary OF
what It set out to achieve. A judy
ment based upon such breaches of the
law will be completely null and void.
IL will be impossible to mako use OF
II with the public against the Com
munist Party OF Germany, but vice
versa: the proceedings at this trial
constitute an uninterrupted defeat Of
capitalist reaction and It's social dem.
ocratic confederates. This choka

The Climax of the Cheka Trial in GERMANY

defense submitted numerous proofs
in order to reveal the fascist danger
in Germany. In addition to this the
defense brought forward twenty wit
nesses, including Communist and So
cial democratic members OF parlia-
ment, as well as simple workers, and
party functionaries from Saxony, in
order to give evidence as to what was
the true state of affairs in 1923 and
1924.
THIS was replied to by a fresh mon
strous act of violence by this ex-
ceptional court. Since the foundation
OF the German Empire in 1871, It has
been the basic right Of the accused in
German criminal trial to call wit
nesses on his behalf. According to
German law, the court is bound to
hear these witnesses. In the Cheka
trial this right has been suspended for
the first time. On the motion OF the
Public Prosecutor Neumann, the court
refused 10 admit the witnesses .brot
forward by the defense. The court
will from time to time decide whether
II will be gracious enough to hear one
or other OF the Witnesses for the de-
Tense. This simply means that the
high state court can and will accuse
the Communist Party OF Germany, but
II will not permit the Communists to
defend themselves. This monstrous
decision has been given by court Of
law TO which two social democratic
leaders belong, one OF them Herr
Schilling, the chairman OF the Leipzig
Trade Union Federation.

assurance that the conditions will not

This may be interpreted as a pledge
that the federal trade commission
and the tariff commission and the
department Of justice will not inter-
fere, so long as congress is not in
session, with mergers and other
moves toward formation Of super
trusts in the industries. Coolidge is
on guard for big business. He wants
no more laws and no more investiga-
tions and punishments Of commercial
banditry. Mellonization of America
must proceed in peace.
In this spirit the press Of the ma
ton has been advised. In this spirit
the kept press will produce a chorus
Of demands for less government,
less laws, more business" during the
next six months. Under cover of this
harmony Mr.. Coolidge will depart in
June for a vacation in New England.
