COOLIDGE AGENT
TRIES TO F DOL
STOCK RAISERS
Wants to Kill Commerce
Commission
Especial to The Daily Worker,


PHOENIX, Ariz, Jan. 19.-Robert
H. Carey, member of the Coolidge ag-
ricultural conference, aroused consid-
cradle antagonism among the dele
gates to the American livestock as
ISOLATION today when he attacked the
interstate commerce commission. He
told the convention the commission
had developed into court, rather
than a business board. He said the
farmers and cattle men cannot do
business with the commission because
of its antagonistic attitude.
Political Rubbish. 4
The delegates recognized this plea
as so much political rubbish from the
Coolidge propaganda agencies trying
to smash every obstacle to the I'M
hampered exploitation of the country
by big business. The interstate COM
merce commission, tho ineffective in
most cases is a menace to the merg-
ers Of industries in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law so the Coo
lidge machine wants to do away with
every means of enforcing this law.
The delegates, mostly stock raisers,
and many of them well-to-do have felt
the pinch of the clearinghouse trust
and the resent Coolidge agents trying
to make them believe the defense of
the combines by the administration
in reality helps them.

There has been little change since he
wrote that book and we predict that
when the company union reaches its
complete success conditions will be-
come as bad or worse than they
have ever been.
Like all modern industry no one
over As years of age need apply for
work in the packing houses. If those
around that age, who are working
happen to get out of employment for
while they are stuffed off like so
much refuse. OF course the compa-
MES have the usual pension and sick
benefit fees but these are so arranged
that only the favored few reach the
goal of their benefits.
The outstanding fact is that the
packing houses of America, like in
most every other industry, have hid
den away from the public those en-
vironments that rot the workers, and
altho we are supposed to be protected
from decayed meat little care is being
taken to protect the workers from
being decayed men and women at
ages when they should be in their
prime of full manhood and woman
hood.
Unrest Increases.
Some day the mice people" may
learn that decaying men, splitting out
their consumptive lungs are more of
menace to their welfare than de-
caying meat. These underpaid, under
nourished filth environed brothers and
sisters in toll are numbering now,
and are a growing threat to your
damned SNUG complacency. The day
will come when they will rise and
throw off your filthy rags and you
along with the rags from their backs
forever.

southern race hatred to a new field.
The white niger" little realizing
that, he is but a mental, along with
his fellow black worker and that the
hatred is allowed to exist in order to
keep thenl divided to the profit and
security Of the company. It is said to
make things equal" the leader Of
the workmen at Armours is a Negro,
who was scab in 1921. Just the

petition went, of course, to Chicago,

States, and has been heard of never

Women Displaee Men.
Woman labor is displacing man
labor. Fifteen per cent are already
women employees at the Kansas City
packing plants. Mostly foreign wo-
men. They work cheaper than the
men at the same work. Their wage
is 80 cents an hour displacing men
who receive 421h and as high as 54
cents an hour. Already one half the
help in the sausage department at
Armours are women. Cudahy is using
women in the killing department and
rapidly hundreds Of women are dis
placing men in those departments
that have hitherto been for :'men on
ly." Mothers are working amid filth
and blood and vile smelling doors
for the profit of the nice smelling
daughters Of Swift and Company. Up
on this situation the men look with
alarm but what can they do with
only a company union to hear their
tale of woe?
The slogan of the company con-
ference committee of bosses and men
is efficiency. If you see a chance to
take up waste-slack or see where
labor can be saved you get good
marks" like your little boy gets in
school. Already the workers are
getting the results of this. In the
sealing department, an electric box
sealing machine has been installed
hat eliminates one man at each ma
chine and leaves one working. At this
very moment the help is working
part time SO that all may have en-
ployment Ono increase in pay how
ever per hour. Thus has efficiency
worked the workers out of a job and
more and more are doomed to go.
Being a partner to the boss, when he
owns the job, and has all the say,
makes only for the profits of the boss
and the defeat of the workers hopes
and more certain his slavery.
Maintain Police System.
The men are we'll protected-from
each other. Big fear-invoking police
men stride about the packing houses
in full uniform at all hours. Inspec-
tors are everywhere watching the
men and being watched by one an
other. Spies are everywhere and the
men keep close mouthed and are
fearful lest their buddy" next to
them is spy ready to report their
utterances, deeds or even their ina
ginations.
The piece system is being displaced
by the hour plus bonus system.

EDITORS NOTE:-In this install
ment of his address to the four
teenth congress Of the Russian
Communist Party, Secretary Stain
shows the predominance of state
commerce over private capitalist
commerce. He then takes up the
class relations in the country. He
spoke as follows:

proved by statistical material-the
predominance of state commerce. in
comparison with private capitalistic
commerce. The total internal COM
merce in 1924 was 81 per cent OF
the pre-war level, and in the year
1924-25 II per cent.
The growth of internal commerce
Is without any doubt. The share of
the state in the year 1924 OF the
internal commerce was As per cent
the share of the co-operatives 10 per
cent and the share of private capital
IS per cent. In 1924-25 the share of
the state was 80 per cent, the share of
the cooperatives 24.7 per cent and the
share OF private capital 24.9 per cent.
The share OF private capital in the
total is sinking whilst the shares of
the state and the cooperatives are
growing.
The same tendency also exists in
large and small trading.
The share OF the state in large scale
trade in 1924 was more than 63 per
cent OF the whole. In the year 1924

which federal judge, George w. Eng
fish, eastern district Of Illinois, did
business in a personal or official char
acter fail to disclose dishonest trans
actions, Bruce Campbell, counsel for
Judge English, asserted today before
the house judiciary committee in de-
Tending the judge against impeach-
ment charges.
These accounts would show
whether there was anything crooked"
said Campbell, "the only thing they
evidence is that Judge English is
broke that he has not the money
he had when he became Judge"
Money only "Loan.y
Campbell denounced as untrue the
story of Grace Thayer, an employe
in the Office of c. B. Thomas, referee
OF Judge Englishs court, that she saw
Thomas divide a large sum Of money
with Judge English.
THAT story is denied by other en-
ployes in the same offices including
Nora Montgomery and D. H. Thayer,
husband Of Grace" he declared.
Campbell offered an explanation OF
an alleged advance by Thomas to
Judge English Of 81 LABS to pay for an
automobile. He said this was an ar
rangement between friends and the
judge repaid the money in full to
Thomas.
