WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-President
Coolidge personally Received from the
hands of Santiago Iglesias, of the
Porto Rican Legislature, about the
middle of January, formal statement,
typewriter and accompanied by a
large number of aft davits. describing
the wholesale frauds practiced by the
unionist alliance against the working
class ticket in the election last Nov
ember. This statement asked the pres
ident to investigate the theft of the
government Of Porto Rico, in this
election.
On Feb. 6, an authorized White
House spokesman announced that
President Coolidge had never heard of
charges Of election frauds in Porto
Rico.
The visit of Iglesias and former
Speaker Coll-Cuchi of the lower
house of the Porto Rican legislature
to the White House on Feb. was de-
voted to a discussion with Mr.. Cool

Injunction to Help

Injunctions failed to produce pro-
fits for the Daniel Boone Wooden

agement.
Attempts to unionize the Daniel
Boone plant in Rock Island last year
produced shower of injunctions that
forbade picketing, peaceful discussion
and almost all other activity on the
part Of organizers and prc-union
workers. Girl workers were roughly
treated by company agents and po-
lice. The mills tried to keep on pro-
ducing. Meanwhile the company as
sets were shrinking portentously.
The company balance sheet at the
end of 1923 showed a surplus Of S467,-
605. In one year this had rotted into
deficit of $2,67S,496. The wooden
and worsted plants will probably be
sold and the business confined to the
making of clothing in the Moline,
Rock Island, and Davenport factories.
Stockholders will have to put up $780,
900 to keep the concern going.

TO members Of the Marine Trans

No. $40, INDUSTRIAL Workers of the
World:
Fellow Workers.: Over the sigma
lures Of Fellow workers T. P. Sulli-
van and Ed Jeppson, secretary-treas-
urer, pro tenn, and acting chairman,
respectively, the M. T. w. has issued
call to the marine workers of the
Western Hemisphere inviting unions
of marine workers to send an official
representative to an international con-
ference at New Orleans, La, March
/, 1925.
The purpose of the conference is
given as the discussion Of relations
and plans for cooperation and unity
of action Of marine workers Of the
Western Hemisphere
Hail End ofeEsoIationI
Fellow Workers. the revolutionary
workers of all the world will rejoice
to know that the MT. w. Of the l. w.
w. is resolutely putting aside the mis-
taken policy of isolation which has
only helped the shipoWners and seri-
ously injured the seamen, particularly
those in the M. T. w. Every revolu-
tionary worker will hail the decision
of the M. T. w. to courageously set
foot upon the path of ever-closer fra
ternity with the International labor.
In the emancipation of the worlds
workers the transport workers may
play noble part, and recognition of
this demands that there be no turning
back for those workers who are con-
scious of their class and true to its
historic role.
For this reason the Red Interna-
tional Affiliation Committee (R. I. A.
c. expresses its deep qualification
that the M. T. w. of the l. w. w. has
made this decision which will, If fol-
lowed by sincere effort to attain
world unity of all seamen, place the
M. T. w. into the foreground Of rev.
dictionary unionism internationally
and add to the proud traditions Of the
lighting l. w. w.
The Alternatives.
The New Orleans Conference has
great possibilities 1t may do much
to unity the marine workers. There
is also the possibility shat it may fail
to measure up to this anticipation,
that it may end with empty speeches,
or good but Ineffective resolutions.
Every member of tlIh M. T. w. must
interest himself in making the con-
terence a success an a beginning of
more and greater su Cesses.
The factors which may hinder the
New Orleans COnfer9 nee must be TAX
en- into account an Fought against.
Firstly, it is beyOn d comprehension
why such short mott ee should be CIV
en- to other organii atoms. For the
officers of the NJ. T. Nv to issue a call
dated January Is, fq u conference at
New Orleans On On. Aasssitkrch 1, and expect
it to receive serious reconsideration by
marine workers organizations in Ar
gentina, Chile and Peru, is ridiculous.

Evolutionary Progress"

Workers may strike until they starve, but il the
bosses secure enough scabs to make showing
there is no strike in progress according to the de-
cision of the Wisconsin supreme court handed
down a few days ago.
Labor unions succeeded in having law passed
a number of years ago compelling employers to
state that a strike was on when they advertised
for workers to replace their striking employees.
The decision OF the Wisconsin court wipes out this
law in that state and sets a precedent that other
state courts will be quick to follow. All the bosses
have to do now is to show that their plant is run.
ning in some fashion or other.
The decision shows two things clearly
First that capitalist agencies abrogate laws
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-02-13

giving even the slightest concessions to the work
ers, at will.
Second, that the program of trust busting and
middleclass reform in which LaFollette has been
engaged all his life, has left the most powerful
instruments of capitalism in his own state un-
weakened, unafraid to deprive the working class
of the most feeble weapons of defense.
Wisconsin is to the c. P. p. A.-ites what para
disc is to the Mohammedans, but three decades of
LaFolletteism find the workers unable to force an
employer to tell prospective slaves that they are
expected to scab.

Members of the M. T. w. who I'm.

ence which will be incomplete in rep
resentation, yet, under cover of being
international actually separate some
marine workers Of Latin America
from the others which have not been
given time enough to respond. These
unions will naturally feel insulted by
being confronted with fat accompIl
in the shape of an international" ac-
cord from which they are excluded
without they come to terms with its
dominant group-the M. T. w.
The M. T. w. officials, by such un-
called for haste, lay themselves open
to accusation by Latin American un-
ions as having, by a ruse, robbed
them of their right to consultation be-
fore action involving them is taken,
and to the charge of really splitting
and not uniting the marine workers of
this hemisphere. A sincere desire for
international accord demands that
this conference but prepare the way
for later and more completely rep
resentative conference.
Voice and Vote for Latin American
Unions.
The R. l. A. G. hopes that every
branch Of the M. T. w. will be repre-
scented at New Orleans, and that M.
T. w. delegates will uphold the right
of every Latin American delegate to
full voice and vote. There must be
no tricky hedging, such as making the
conference an 1. w. w. meeting with
visiting delegates merely invited to
make approving speeches. There
must be a real threshing out Of policy
and the foundation laid for organiza-
ton of a Pan-American confederation
of all marine workers. No exclusion
of opinions or votes of representa-
tive delegations must be permitted, and
leading in the policies must be the
fight against the oppression of Latin
American peoples by United States
imperialism.
Upon the subject of policy, complete
international unity must take first
place. Altho the last M. T. w. con-
vention went on record for a world
conference, and altho the call for the
New Orleans meetings recites in de-
tail the need for unity between the M.
T. w. and European seamen, and even
despite the fact that the M. T. w. Of
fcials have received an invitation to
such a conference (Which they have
concealed from the M. T. w. men,
bers and not replied to-, the action
of the M. T. w. officials indicates an
evasion of the instructions of the last
convention and an ignoring of the ex-
IRENE necessity for unity of marine
workers not only of this hemisphere
but of Europe and Asia as well.

al unity with resolution favoring at

IF an incomplete pun may be par

Krim, put Riff in SPANS loot.
Like wise politicians the Riffians have
called on God to assist them in freeing
their country of the invader and like
good patriotic Riffian, he answered
the prayer tho it is questionable if he
would have done so had the enemy
been France instead of Spain. God has
wholesome fear of artillery, effic-
iency and military genius, all of which
the Spaniards do not possess. The
latest report from Tangier, indicates
that Spain has barely a toehold on
Riffian territory. Abdel-Krim, intends
to chop off the toe as soon as gets
thru celebrating the marriage of his
SON with the daughter of Raisuili, his
former enemy but now his ally-be-
cause Raisuili is almost dead.
1T should not be forgotten that Spain
l is ruled by the fascist OF which
Primo de Rivera is the chief. This
Spanish Mussolini undertook to defeat
the Moroccans when ne seized Office,
executed a few Of his opponents and
exiled the most dangerous of the rest.
But Primo was out of luck Most of
the money he sent to Morocco to bride
the native chieftains is now in the
hands of AbdeLKrim who seems to
be making good use the dough. The
idea of marrying his son to Raisuili's
daughter, and thus securing the Span
ish pesetas legally by way of dowry
was brilliant piece of strategy of
Krim's in case fortune might change
her mind and put him on the losing
side. The acquisition would be per-
fectly in accord with capitalist ethics
and no bandit government would dare
behead him for his financial dealings
for fear Of setting precedent.

Of the Red International of Labor I'm
ions. I'd
Only upon policy which comedies
with the program of the Red Interna-
tional Of Labor Unions can revolu-
tionary struggle of the worlds marine
workers be successfully waged. One
serious criticism which should be
made against the M. T. w. officials is
that they have not only ignored the
invitation to participate in the world
conference called by the International
Propaganda Committee Of the Red
Transport Workers at Berlin on Feb.
rs, but they have consciously set the
date of the New Orleans Conference
to conflict with the Berlin Conference,
clearly aiming at a rival and not a
friendly conference.
Working Glass Needs FIrstI
In view Of the life and death strug-
gle for existence of the worlds sea-
men and their organizations, such
setting up of barriers between work
ers deserves the severest condemna-
ton of the M. T. W. membership, who
must let their officials understand,
once for all, that the vital needs of the
membership are not forever to be
made the plaything of a few fellow
workers whose sectarian fanaticism is
prejudicing the interests of the work
ing class.
In order that the members of the
Marine Transport Workers may see
clearly just what the M. T. w. officers
have done to continue the disunity of
the worlds marine workers, the r. L.
A. G. publishes below the following
letter, which was sent by the Interna-
tional Propaganda Committee Of the
Red Transport Workers to the M. T..
w. headquarters, but which has never
been published by the M. T. w. Of
ficers or answered by them, but which
certainly was received by them as
may be proven by the fact that they
lifted the very phraseology of its
opening paragraphs and used it in
their call for the New Orleans Confer
ence. The letter is as follows:

June 80, 1925, Minnesota's allotment
is 100000 pounds, while Wiscon-
sins allotment for the same period is
100000 pounds. Wisconsin has a
smaller acreage of cutover land than
has Minnesota, but is policy has been
and is to buy all the pyrotol possible.
Because the United States depart
ment will furnish pyrotol for anoth-
err year or two, there may bea ten
dency on the part of Minnesota con-
sumers to purchase less in the spring
of 1925 than they would if no more
of the material was to be had after
that time.
eff the total amount of pyrotol
available were 6O,O0O,00O pounds, y
says A. ]. Schwantes of the Univer-
sity's land clearing section, "and if
Minnesota's portion was set at six or
seven million pounds and we could
take as much time as we wanted to
use it up, the station would be en-
tirely different. But as it is, all states
are placed on a competitive basis, and
that state will receive the most bene-
fit which uses most of the pyrotol
while it is available. In other words,
to get substantial allotment for the
year ending June 80, 1926, we must
make liberal use of pyrotol for the
year ending June 80, 1925"
University men have been advised
by Washington that the cartridging
plant at Barksdale, Wis, will soon
reach its limit on storage and will be
forced to close unless more or
ders are received for January ship
ment. It is important therefore, that
all orders possible be placed now for
early delivery.

County Agent Work Bene6ting
Enthusiastically one million SER
vice contracts were made by Mime
sofa county agents in 1924. This
means an average of approximately
so such instances by each agent each
day of the 800 working days of the
year, a result readily achievable
where work is well organized and the
people are served largely through
groups.
After having been tried for two
years the new county extension law
has, in the opinion of the state leader,
furnished the best basis of operation
yet employed in the state. Particu-
larly gratifying has been. the work of
the county extension committee which
is formed jointly from the board Of
county commissioners and the farm
bureau executive committee in each
county. An improved relationship
with county commissioners is seen in
the preparation of county budgets,
in the employment of agents, in the
consideration of county programs of
work, and in advancing the service
generally.
Another outstanding feature of the
year was the enlarged participation
of communities in extension projects
conducted through local leader
groups, township or community farm
bureau units, farmers clubs, and 9th
er local organizations.
