Will CHICAGO
GETFRESH MILK
after APRIL 1?
Politicians Ignore Work
ers' Welfare
BY a Worker Correspondents

Now that Health Commissioner Bum
desen's tuberculin test for cows is
about to be enforced, which will cause
bankruptcy, untold suffering and
starvation for many farmers and work
ers connected with the handling of
milk in Illinois, It sets one who is en-
gagged in peddling milk to wonder
what Bundesen is going to do about
the supply of fresh milk for the con-
sumers in Chicago.
The large concerns are preparing to
get their milk from other states. They
will probably get milk from dairies
four hundred or more miles away
from Chicago. This means that the
people living in Chicago will have TO
drink milk that is much older than
was formerly used by them.
This milk, coming from distant
points, will take much longer to come
to Chicago. 1t will not be fresh milk.
It will be old milk. But the milk COM
bine here win bottle the milk the day
before they deliver it and place a cap
on the bottle stating when the milk
was bottled. This will lead many TO
believe they are buying fresh mix,
where as matter of fact the largest
part Of the milk sold will be old milk.
The question arises as to whether
Bundesen will see to it that the COM
panies sell only fresh milk. There are
several reasons why he won't concern
himself. One is that If he insisted on
fresh milk the big distributors would
be against him. Bundesen Is a poh-
tician. He needs their support. So
while Bundesen will help himself 20
Chicago workers win be
forced to use state milk.

Now to come back again to the left
wingers of the Furriers Union. It
was found that we have several left
wingers on the executive board and
they are watching the office very
closely. So very soon charge was
brot against one OF the left wingers
that he had no business having a sign
of his profession at his home, making
this violation of some kind or
other that is not yet clear to any
body's mind.
Second, charges were brot against
this same member saying that he was
a spy from the Moscow Commu-
nists" and that he had no business on
the executive board and therefore
should be expelled from there. But
the latest and the most profound
charge against this very same mem
Der is that he had taken some enve-
lopes from the office and thereby COM
mitted a most horrible crime. For
this the executive board recommend
ed to the body that he be expelled
from the executive board and that the
right to speak to the members at the
regular meeting be taken from him
for three years.
This, however, was too much for
the members to digest and they decid-
ed to give this member a trial by an
impartial committee. What the out
come will be is to be seen. But the
main reason for this affair is that the
business manager knows that he
stands confronted today with a new
agreement to be signed by the fur
manufacturers and the union. And
he knows and others in his clique also
that to sign away the rights of the
400 members of the union will not be
so easy with the left wingers watch
ing their every move.
Now a series of activities have been
proposed by the same clique, such
as new educational policy, study
classes, new methods Of organization
and labor bureau.
In this way they thought to do away
with the activities Of the left wing
ers and steal credit for the program
that they had proposed. But in this,
they found themselves greatly mis-
taken.
The left wingers are not satisfied
with adopting resolutions, or a pro-
gram of future activities. They want
to see these brot to life and carried
out in action. Already there has been
great dissatisfaction shown with the
labor bureau, it being composed of the
old type Of machine candidates in
the local and they are using the same
old partisan methods of distributing
jobs among the unemployed.
This in itself. is enuf to show that
so long as the clique now in power
has the office, so long Will the union
be on the same or a worse basis than
it has been before.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-03

the machine here as elsewhere more
cautious than ever. But now the time
has come for show down. The
clique is now carefully being watched
by left wingers of Local No, As. The
fur workers in New York are OF
strike.
Charges have been made against q
conference committee member who is
to represent us at the conference with
the manufacturers that he himself il
manufacturer and therefore NOT
eligible to represent the union at the
same time. This conference member
was caught on Washington's birth
day working, In his shop and was
caught again on Saturday afternoon OF
March ~. Both of these cases are a
violation of the agreement of this
local with the manufacturers. In the
first Of these the business agent with
the rest of the clique did all in their
power and succeeded in whitewashing
this conference committee member
and we wonder whether they will be
able to do it again.
A movement was on foot to either
expel him or for this member to re
sign, knowing full well that he is
guilty. But the machine thot other
wise and they are doing all in their
power to protect this conference mem
Der. ,lU5 ~
The business representative is also
guilty of many violations of his duties.
1t would take very long story to
point each and every one of them
out. We know from past experience
how he helped to doctor the minutes
of the union to suit himself on sew
eral occasions and we find it worse
than useless to appeal to the execu-
tive board on this matter.
Only three weeks ago a complaint
was brot in by member that the
reason the boss discharged him, was
because a fellow worker in the same
shop was working below the scale of
wages and therefore undermining his
conditions. The business manager
without referring this matter to the
executive board reinstated the man
working below the scale Of wages on
the same basis as he had worked be-
fore, but the other worker who had
made the complaint had to wait until
the executive board met and then the
business manager was instructed to
reinstate him also and nothing was
done SO far, about the one that is
working under the scale.

tating In an editorial that the affair
be ignored.
The Jewish propaganda committee
Of the Young Workers (Communist)
League arranged the banquet to show
to the Jewish workers Of this city
both young and old that the religious
traditions are a means by which the
Jewish capitalists keep the workers
from realizing their class interests.
The secretary of the committee,
Comrade Milgrim pointed out that the
Jewish workers have no common in
terests with their Jewish exploiters.
Their interests are those Of the entire
working class. Together they will
crush the common enemy-the capt.
talist class.
What is This Holy Day7
"They tell u.s." declared Milgrum,
this holiday is to commemorate the
exodus of the Jews from Egypt; to
commemorate the freeing of our peo-
pie from the yoke Of the Egyptian
tyrants. AS such the story is very
idealistic. But let us examine the
truthfulness of the story.
Exodus Story Lie.
First Of all the Jews never were
in Egypt. We know that according
to the bible that the exodus took place
about 1900 B. C. The Egyptians at
that time already had a highly de-
veloped culture. We find many things
written on the monuments of even
much earlier period. However, not a
single word has as yet been found
proving that the Jews were there. Is
it possible that such an episode affect
ing Egypt should not be recorded?
Myth Stolen From Other Tribes.
1.-THE wonderful exploits Of Moses
have been adapted to the Jewish
psychology from other tribes which
were telling similar stories much be-
fore the Jews took 1t up as theirs.
1.-THE priestdom adopted the legend
and made it holy, with the purpose of
keeping the Jewish masses in dark
ness so as to exploit them much cas-
Ter.
There is a statement in the Tai
mud saying that at the rebuilding of
the temple in Jerusalem in 500 B.
C. scripts were found on which the
legend of the Passover was written
and that the king and priests called
the people to commemorate the hith-
srto, forgotten holy day.
For 900 years the people did not
know about i'll Is not that sufficient J

Slave Driven All Day by
Vicious Foreman
(ey ! worker correspendsni.

TOLEDO, O.-GIrls working at the
Woolson Spice Coffee and Tea com-
pany have to work under miserable
working conditions for t12 q week.
They have a system Of one OF two-day
layofs, for which wages are locked,
bringing the pay envelope down as
low as 81.
The work consists OF weighing out
coffee into cans, about 200 every i've
minutes. Green coupons are enclosed
in the cans Of Golden Sun coffee, the
covers put on and the cans placed on
a platform. The cans are then run
thru a machine, which wraps them
in paper covers. All the work must
be done very fast. If any of the work
ers fail TO keep up with the terrific
speed they are fred.
The girls start work at 7:15 every
morning and work nine hours day.
A foreman who gets $24 week has
the Job Of slave-driving the girls, and
this he performs viciously. He Is
after them every minute of the day.
Should a girl stop one second from
her work he is right there with the
question: "What are you waiting
for?s
One day took sick at work. went
to the rest room for drink of water.
1 was not in there over three minutes
when he told one of the girls to 90
and drag me out"
One girl sat down to rest while
when her machine was being repaired
and they laid her off.
The girls working ON the machines
are piece-workers. They get cent
hundred on coffee. The girls Just
have to kill themselves to make s2.25
day. If a girl is late she cannot
get in-the front and side doors are
locked after 7:15.
Working men and women, don't you
think we workers are entitled to bet
ter working conditions in our shops?
We are told that slavery has been
abolished in this country, but 1t is not
so. 1t still exists in our shops. Let us
all work together to drive such condi-
tons out of the shops and to make
them a good place to work in, not
hell-hoIe.

proof Of the whole story being invent
ed right then with the one express pur-
pose to keep the masses in ignorance?
Merely Spring Festival.
Passover is an old spring festival.
The killing of the lamb at the begin
ming of Passover is meant to show the
stage when our ancestors were herds
men and sacrificed the first born lamb
to soothe the evil spirits The matzos
only symbolizes the next stage when
they went over TO agricultural life
and first learned to make bread by
mixing -four and water and baking it
over hot stones. To US these are his
torical facts. The traditions and leg
ends about the Passover were in
vented to keep the people in darkness.
"The capitalists see a strong ally
in religion. 1t keeps workers from
realizing their class interests. That's
why we must combat religion"
A good supper was served followed
by the singing Of revolutionary songs
in which all participated.
Questions Answered.
Many questions on the subject were
answered by the specially appointed
editorial collegium. Old revolution
lists told of incidents of their revolu-
tionary struggles overseas. The ban
quet was OF great educational value to
the Jewish workers.

KANSAS WATCHING
DAVIS COMEBACK
Efforts of Ex-Governor Hold

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, October 30.-The
unfinished history of the 1926 election
in the Southwest has been turned over
to the voters and the final chapter
will be written at tho polls next Tues.
day.
No clear-cut issues stand out in
Kansas, oklahoma or Texas, but pop
ular interest probably centers in the
attempt of Jonathan NJ. Davis, eX-
Governor of Kansas, who was tried
and acquitted twice on charges of
soliciting bribes. to regain the gov
ernor's chair. Davis, a Democrat, Is
seeking vindication and has charged
the Republicans with persecution dur
ing his former administration and in
the pushing of the hrihe charge. He
is opposed by Ben S. Paulen, Repub-
lican incumbent.
Senators will be chosen in Kansas
and oklahoma. Senator John w.
Harreld. Republican incumbent, and
Elmer Thomas, Democrat. and pres
ent Representative in Congress from
the sixth district, have been waging
q campaign on national issue in Okla

is attracting little attention with the
veteran Senator, Chales Curtis. Re
Charles Stephens. Democrat.
The IS Representatives in Congress
from Texas arc all candidates for re-
election. Seventeen of them are Demo-
Gratis: only one, Harry NJ. Wurzbach,
from the fourteenth district. being a
Republican. Each has opposition, but
chief interest centers in Wurzbach
because of differences between him
and the party leaders. The guberna-
torial races have overshadowed the
congressional contests in Kansas and
Oklahoma.
Gubernatorial candidates in Okla
homa have been embroiled in a ku
klux Klan controversy. Both cardi.
dates have been accused of being
members Of the hooded order. Henry
S. Johnson, Democrat. ignored the
charge, while Omer *. Benedict, his
Republican opponent. protested that
he was not now a member, although
he had been some time ago.
The general election in Texas has
aroused little interest, since Demo
cratic nomination is considered equiva-
lent to election. Dan Moody, attor-
ney general, who defeated Gov. Miriam
A. Ferguson for the Democratic
nomination for governor. is opposed
by H. II. Haines, a Republican.
