Iowa Corn Farmers in
Desperate Financial
Fix, Admits u. S. Dept.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-(FP)-
Iowa farmers are in desperate Anan-
cial straits, according to a special re-
port to the secretary OF agriculture by
Nils A. Olsen, assistant chief of the
bureau of agricultural economics in
his department, and Albert G. Will
Jams, member of the federal farm
loan board.
They were sent to Iowa to recon.
mend means for saving the farmers
from the ruin due to a drop in corn
prices from 9S cents in August to so
or 60 cents in November. They re-
commend that the farmers who can
get credit should hold their corn for
orderly marketing" or feed 1t to hogs
"The agricultural situation has i'm
proved since 1921" they conclude,
"but it is apparent that many Iowa
farmers still labor under the handicap
of large debts, high operating expens-
es, high taxes, high interest rates on
short term loans, and also widely
fluctuating and often unsatisfactory
prices for their products"

Workers Communist Party
The How and Why
of Party Fractions

are found only those who pay their
dues to the party thru membership
in a shop or street nucleus.
No language fraction is allowed to
collect dues. With the permission of
the Central Executive Committee,
language fractions may launch cam
paigns among the workers of their
particular nationality to raise funds
for their activities. In order to help
the language fractions carry on their
activities in their special fields, the
Central Executive Committee will pro-
vide monthly appropriations on the
basis of the dues received.
Question Z: How are the language
fractions organized?
Answer: There is no fast and hard
rule as to how the language fraction
units are to be organized. We should
always be guided by the need for
the most efficient methods of working
in the ranks of the proletariat of a
particular nationality.
If the language fractions of par
ticular nationality are numerous and
strong enuf we may have subsection
language fraction committees as well
as section language fraction commit
tees to direct the activities of these
comrades among the workers of their
nationality in the territory under con-
sideration. In cases where there is
more than one subsection language
fraction in a special section, then the
members of these subsection Ian
guage fraction. In cities where there
are several sections, the members of
the various language fractions meet
in January and July to elect language
fractions city committees.
District conferences consisting of
delegates representing the various
anguagefractions are to be held an
nually for the purpose of electing a
district language fraction executive
committee, subject to the approval of
the district executive committee of
the party.
If the Central Executive Committee
of the party thinks it necessary, it
may permit the holding of national
conferences of delegates representing
the language fractions of a particular
nationality. These conferences may
elect a national language bureau sub
ject to the approval of the Central
Executive Committe of the party. In
those cases where no national Ian
guage fraction conference is held, the
Central Executive Committee of the
party will appoint special national
language fraction bureau to direct and
unity the party's activities among the
workers of a particular nationality.
Thus, we see that all the needs for
the efficient carrying on of Communist
activities among the working masses
of a particular nationality are very
well taken care of by the above
system of language fraction organiza-
ton. The menace of party decentral-
ization and language federation auto
nomy is completely removed. In fact,
the centralized character of this sys-
tenn of language fraction organization
insures far better results than the
old federation system evr could
achieve.

WAR FRAUD CASE
DISMISSED; RICH
GRAFTERS FREED
No Jail for Wealthy
Thieves, Says Cal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 99.-FP)-
U. S. District Attorney Gordon, under
the approving eye of Atty. Gen. Sar-
gent, has consented to the dismissal
of the conspiracy indictment in the
local criminal court against Everly
NJ. Davis of New York and Ernest c..
Morse of Cincinnati, former director
of sales for the war department, in
the Old Hickory powder plant case.
This was the first war fraud case to
be started by the department of JUS
tice, and is the last to be dropped.
When Sen. Wheeler exposed the
Daugherty regime in the department,
he showed that suits involving some
$55,OOO,OOO of government property,
stolen after the war, were still alive
and could be prosecuted
President Coolidge declared, in de-
nouncing Wheeler's work, that the
government would prosecute all the
guilty and protect public interests.
The Old Hickory powder plant near
Nashville, Tenn, cost the nation
5O,OOO,OOO. 1t was sold to Davis and
Alexander Phillips. who has since
died. for sS,5OO,0OO The two men
represented a syndicate of Nashville
capitalists. The theory of the indict-
ment against Davis and Phillips and
Morse was the latter conspired with
them to sell them the property with
out competitive bidding.
A civil suit brought by the govern
ment to recover the property was re-
peatedly blocked by orders from Harry
Daugherty and his assistants, accord
ing to testimony by the federal dis
trict attorney who had the case in
charge 1t finally was so handled that
the case was lost.

Philadelphia Pioneers
Meeting Is a Success

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. %
Once more have the Philadelphia Pho
.neers shown their growing influence
upon the minds of working class
youth, when great number of work
ing class children responded to their
call and came to the protest meeting
against American education week
held under the auspices of the Young
Pioneers of Philadelphia.
Complete silence reigned in the hall
when Comrade Kritser, age 10, mem
Der of the Lenin Piopeer group spoke
In a short talk he showed the misuse
of education by the capitalist class.
I'VE are not against feducation but we
are protesting against the misuse of
education by the capitalist class. Real
education for the chilfren of the work
ing class can only be POSSIBLE under a
working class government" A resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted de-
nouncing the board Of education for
using the schools to dope the working
class children and carrying the follow
ing demands:
1. Out of the military boy scouts and
into the Young Pioiieers.
2. Demand recognition of the work
ers' republic, Soviet Russia.
9. Away with capitalist anti-labor
propaganda in the schools; out with
religious training to dope children's
minds; join the working class strug-
gle for a workers and farmers re-

PIONEERS
aim FOR WORK ON
NATIONAL SCALE
Also Educational Plan
for Training Leaders
By CLARENCE MILLER.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The coming
district convention of the Young
Pioneers Of America, District No. q,
is milestone in the development Of
our Communist children's work in this
country. 1t marks the beginning of
a real centralized organization. In the
past our groups did not function as
a centralized organization altho they
had an organizational basis for doing
so. One of the main reasons for this
was that this centralizing apparatus
&C. C. c. and G. e. c. was meaning
less to the Juniors. They were not
drawn into the work on a district or
even on city scale. All of the work
for the district and the city was with
few exceptions, done by few Of the
more active leaders.
Shortcomings in the past.
The basis for our mistakes was the
lack of a national Junior policy. There
was no plan for systematic work with
n the groups or cooperation between
ne different groups. There were no
veil planned organizational cam
aigns There was no educational
,lan for the Juniors nor for training
he leaders. AS a result of this un-
systematic work when a thing was
lecided upon it had to be carried thru
in a hurry and our organization was
lot adopted to respond to quick ac-
ton. The Juniors on the other hand
,elt more like members of a group
that meets every Saturday than as
)art of the Communist movement. We
allied to make the Juniors understand
he great significance of the move
nent and the Importance of their part
in it. They therefore did not feel re-
sponsibility for the work. The fact
that some work was accomplished in
our district is due to the hard work
Of few active comrades both juniors
and leaders.
theological Preparation.
Since the plan for reorganization
was first formulated and work to-
wards this end commenced, change
for the better was Immediately notice
able. The theological preparation now
being carried on in our groups, pre-
liminary to this reorganization on the
basis of school nuclei is making our
pioneers feel the full responsibility of
young Bolsheviks.
Our discussions on reorganization
and 'bolsheyization center around the
following points:
1. That every Pioneer must under
stand the aims of his organization and
know how to achieve them.
2. Every Pioneer places the inter-
est of his organization above his own
interest.
3. Every Pioneer accepts and car
ries out the decisions of the higher
committees.
4. Every Pioneer is a propaganda
list and has influence among other
working class children.
5. Every Pioneer is an internation-
alist. mo discrimination against ma
tionality or race.)

Gitlow was that he told the workers
lot of facts and helped them to
organize for their own protection
against the depressing class.
Last time / spoke from this plat
form Gitlow was one of the main
speakers. l told you then that Great
Britain which was held up as an ex-
ample of free speech would soon fol
low the rest of the world in the per-
secution of leaders of the workers.
Today there are dozen Communists
in prison in England for showing the
masses the way out of slavery"
Masses Must Demand Release.
Sam Lipzin of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union was the next
speaker and addressed the audience
in Jewish. when the masses rise up
and protest in organized manner,
when they demand their rights by
showing that they are intelligent
enough to plan for taking over the
power of government and become the
ruling class, the capitalists will listen
quite readily. l call upon the workers
to take the power of government into
their own hands as the workers Of
Russia have done. It is time for the
workers in America to realize their
power and to protest in earnest when
our leaders are placed in jeopardy"
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn summed up
ha norconuffOnc updar tho avir1afu aI
syndicalist laws that now operate in
So states in the union. She showed
how the present law put Gitlow in
prison was enacted rs years ago, dur
ing the hysteria that followed the
Mckinley assassination. The other
laws against labor were mostly passed
during and after the war Now they
are being used against workers, when
ever the master class finds it con-
venient to put workers away into
some dungeon. There are now over
100 men and women in prison in
California, where mere membership in
the l. w. w. is sufficient to give a
worker IA years in prison. The cases
of Anita Whitney, Tom Mooney, Sacco
and vanzetti were cited as cases of
outrageous capitalist tyranny.
Bertram Wolfe, who represented
the Workers (Communist) Party at
the demonstration, reviewed the his
toric background for all the persecu-
tions now taking place. He recited
the ironical legal terms which declare
that "the people of the state of New
York" put Gitlow into prison, showing
how the laws are made to mislead the
workers, putting them in prison and
then blaming it on the people"
Chairman Cosgrove asked how many
would be willing to serve the term
for Gitlow and let him out to con
tinue his work in organizing. Many
hands went up. How many would
be willing to serve one day." then
asked Cosgrove. A fine response of
hands shot up. zone day in prison
would be harder than one days wages,
and you will not be asked to go to
Sing Sing, but you are asked to give
a ten dollar bill EACH" The collection
which followed amounted to 1920.
The meeting was considered one of
the best held in New York and the
International Labor Defense is push
ing the release of Ben Gitlow and
will continue to do so until he is a
free man and in the ranks of the
active workers in his union and his
party again.
