SPRING FOREST
!. FIRES UNDER
CONTROL
High Winds Threaten to
Fan Flames Anew
in Some Districts.

CHICAGO, April 17.-R-The
first crop of spring forest and prairie
fires in three widely separated areas
of the, country generally was under
control today. although continuing
high winds in some districts carried
threats of tanning the flames anew.
Fires which swept large forest, areas
near Plymouth, Mass, have been
checked. and most of the prairie and
grass fires in Minnesota and the Da'
kOtas have been, eXtinguished, but
rangers still were fighting flames in
the Kootenai National forest in West
crn Montana and idaho.
THREEEOSE LIVES.
Three lives were lost in Minnesota
and North Dakota, with the loss in
that territory estimated between $780,
600 and 100000. Eleven farm
buildings were burned in Massachu-
sets.
Reports that the Massachusetts
fires were of incendiary origin were
under investigation today by state of
ficials. Hundreds of forestry men and
firemen had been engaged in two
day battle on a front which extended
from Little South Pond in the direc-
ton of Buzzard's Bay and Wareham
before the fires were checked. Five
separate fires started within a small
radius on the Observation-Disclosures
turnpike.
Although many fires still were
smouldering in the Central Northwest,
it was believed that they offered no
further menace. Considerable live
stock, poultry. farm machinery and
vast tracts Of timber were destroyed
in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Seven
rural school houses also were burned.
Twenty-Five men are fighting flames
on a 15-acre tract in the Yak river
country of Montana and additional
rangers have been dispatched from
Missoula. Mont, to the kootenai
forest. where fires were reported
spreading. A logging camp near Port
Angeles, Wash. was menaced by fire.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-05-14
BY ALFRED kNUTsoN.

T AM glad to know that the national
4 builders campaign of The DAILY
WORKER is now in full swing. This
is a work that is highly eommendable
and OF the greatest importance to the
Communist movement of America and
the world. The greatest possible
energy and enthusiasm must be exert
ed by our comrades on the farms to
make this campaign a success. With
proper organization and will to work
the quotas can be easily reached.
Those militant farmers who read
The DAILY WORKER and have got
ten used to it cannot be without it.
AS one farmer expressed it: 81 feel
lonesome without my DAILY WORK
Err in the house"
It is becoming more and more ap.
parent that the Communist press is
the only press that is fighting all the
time squarely and unhesitatingly for
the interests of the exploited farmor.
The farmer who suffers under heavy
load of taxes and interest and must

sell his products at low prices and pay
.correspondingly higher prices for in
dustrial products, becomes ever more
disguised with the capitalist and So
cial-democratic press which pussy
foots on every fundamental question
affecting his welfare.
With the growth Of the farmer-labor
movement in the United States and
the growing realization among farm
ers that they must seek political and
economic alliance with the workers in
the industries they become more and
more sympathetic towards the labor
press. It is our duty to see to it
that they get to know about The
DAILY WORKER which has the will
and understanding to fight their bat
ties.
Every comrade on the farms thru
out the country who already knows
what The DAILY WORKER means to
the farmer and farm workers must
get into the harness Immediately and
make determined drive for subscrip-
lions for our paper in his locality.

Mellon Crew Seeks
to Grab Power Site

WASHINGTON = May 12.-(FP -
Martin Madden of Chicago, chairman
of the House committee on appropri-
ations, has come out against the
Boulder Canyon dam construction
bill. This measure appropriates
$125, 900, 900 for developing as a ma
tional asset the biggest waterpower
in the country except Niagara Falls.
Seven states are interested in the
allotment Of the irrigation waters
which will be stored, when the huge
dam is built, in deep canyon Of the
Colorado river
Madden's move is dictated by Sec
rotary Mellon who declared some
months ago that the government
ought to make no such Improvement,
but should let private enterprise find
the money and make profit from the
electricity which would be generated
at the power site. Mellon, who is
interested in hydro-electric and other
enterprises connected with his alumni
mum trust, is mobilizing the opposi-
ton against the Swing-Johnson bill
which provides that the government
shall build and own and operate the
power plant.

Judge Issues Injunction
Against the Barring of
the Mercury from Mails

NEW YORK, May IAN injunc-
ton restraining the postmaster gen.
eral and the postmaster Of New York
from interfering with the sales and
distribution of the American Mercury
was issued by Federal Judge Julian
w. Mack.
Assistant United States Attorney
Thomas Crawford argued that the
story entitled "Hatrack," by Herbert
Asbury, in the April issue Of the mag
azine was unfit for carrying thru the
mails and an obscene article" Judge
Mack said he had strong views re-
garding the freedom Of the press and
was generally against censorship OF
the average human being.
Asbury, author of the article, filed
an affidavit declaring the article was
based on "life incidents" in his home
town, Pennington, Mo.

for the outside mems agreement, Jen-
sens arbitration board is very quiet.
Eleven Friends.
Jensen claims that we must not
hurry our friends the contractors who
are having trouble with the other
trades which are insisting on SYM
pathetic strike clause. According to
a member of his own Local ISL, he
stated two weeks ago, that there are
eleven big contractors who are our
friends trying to help us defeat the
citizens committee. To sum up, Jen-
sens power lays in his having the in
ternational president behind him with
all the resources of the international.
Up Militants.
It is up to the militants to arouse
themselves to the necessity of a
change in the policy of the union,
to organize progressive caucuses in
the locals and districts, and see to it
that the bosses friends be retired
from leadership. Workers who under
stand what is good for the working
class and are willing to fight for
union conditions, and the elimination
of scab agreements must be put into
Office.

ELECTION BOARD
ABANDONS IT.
PRIMARY PROBE
Deneen-Lundin Forces to
Contest Vote in Courts

The board of election commissioners
in Chicago has abandoned its hearings
on the gangster tactics used by the
Crowe-B rrett-Thompson machine in
putting over" their candidates in the
April primaries. The Denneen-Lun-
din alliance, which caused the hear
ings to be started, has consented to
abandon them.
The Deneen-Lundin faction in the
open-shop republican party claim they
took this step to allow them to begin
contests in the courts Immediately
against their opponents in the Grove
Barrett THOMPSON faction.
