of the past year and place before the
assembled workers the tasks Of the
immediate future.
In 1886 three hundred fifty thousand
American workers struck for the
eight-hour day. In 1926, the workers
of the United States find their wages
cut, and ara facing further wage-cuts,
unemployment, no relief in sight for
child laborers, "open shop" campaigns
by the employers. Reaction still rules
from the office of the White House
down to the Offices of the labor bu-
reaucrats. Militant workers are still
in prison. The foreign-born workers
and the Negroes are suffering under
the abuses generated by capitalism to
keep the working class divided. Even
the little children of the schools, in
addition to the doped-up propaganda
they receive under the guise of "edu-
cation" are to be given daily potions
of religion to ensure their growing
I'D into good slaves for their capitalist
masters.
The Dawes plan has enslaved the
German workers and failed to keep
tottering French capitalism steady
Elaborate preparations are being
made by all the capitalist powers for
new wars on a grand scale.
Some rays Of light pierce the dark

Favored to Win in
Herrin's Election
tspeeIaI to The paIIy worker.l


HERRIN, ILL.,, April 21-Herrin went
about its mayoralty voting with doc
lie placidity today that contrasted
strangely with the heated campaign Of
the last few months that saw bombing
squads and private riots in action.
A record vote was forecast in Her
rims mayoralty election today with po-
litical workers feverish in the khan
and anti-klan race. Betting favored
the anti-klan mayoralty candidate
Marshall d. Mccormick, whose groc-
cry was recently bombed. Mccormick
was formerly a klansman, he explain
ed in his campaign speeches, but left
the khan following Glenn Young's
violence
Mccormick was opposed by Thomas
Welty, khan candidate.
Early voting had brot no violence
but every nreeaqtiop was being , axeF:
pected always a menace. Scores OF
private citizens of both factions were
deputized and patrolled the streets.

hearing, at which they presented over
whelming evidence to justify Bywat-
er's removal. The fire chief did not
dare to take the stand to oppose it.
But the scabby city attorney frothed
around about there being a union in
the fire department, and stated the
usual excuse that all the trouble was
due to union labor agitators."
After the hearing the men waited
a week, then sent a committee to May
or Nielsen, who refused to do any
thing. The designations followed, Civ
ing the legal weeks notice. The fire
fighters are more than half convinced
that altho the statement about there
being a union in the fire department
was a lie, they wish that it were true
and that the other departments OF
city employees would take. common ac-
