Eat Cornw and Swell
the Profits of Those

BY J. LOUIS ENcDAHL.

TODAY the kept press of Chicago and adjacent points is
pleading with the world to eat corn. 1t doesn't matter in
panacea for the ills Of the belt farmers The capitalist
press always be depended urge such faudu
lent solution of fundamental social problem
The Chicago Tribune, for instance, spreads thru the
of Illinois and Iowa. 1t is propagatng demand
for corn sugar. 1t says:
hope promote substitution sugar
in uses"
urged therefore, that valuable food in the form
of corn products whether as corn bread corn meal homny
something ese be added the present restricted diet Of
wide of undepa sections of the American working
class is only urged to substitute the corn sugar for
ing from form of sugar to another the shifting
likewise of the crisis from the states the and
beet states.
But that isn't all! 1t is certain that any temporary in
in demand for products that will quickly adjust
ITSELF will be of benefit growers Even the Tribune
does not promise any flow of gold into the pockets
farmers. Instead the big proteers in products
the real gamers when it declares that

And again:

Thus the propaganda is shown to be an immediate aid

VIII be manipulated according to the established rule that
when the farmers sell the prices will be low but when

Another self-procamed phanthropist in the present
crisis is the international Harvester Co.. manufacturers of
farm implements 1t has declared that will accept corn as

The more the farmers study their own problem with the

HEARST THUG
TRIES TO STOP
DAILY WORKER
Herald and Examiner
Threatens Violence
BY RUFUS p. HEATH.
(Worker correspondentl

The DAILY WORKER newsies who
were selling the paper to the stock
yard workers Saturday at the three
main entrances, found that the work
ers were anxious to get The DAILY
WORKER, because it now carries a
series of articles concerning the stock
yard workers.
The stock yard workers are begin
ming to realize that The DAILY
WORKER is really fighting their bat
ties, therefore they would rather have
it, than to have the daily capitalist
papers. The workers get OFF of the
street cars and say to the newsies
who are selling the capitalist papers
on the news stands, what have you
got?" The newsboy says, Herald
and Examiner and fhe Tribune" The
worker says, 81 don't want that" Then
he comes over to The DAILY WORK
Err newsie and says, what have you
got?" Newsie says, 1.-THE DAILY
WORKER" The worker says, Good,
give me two"
Examiner Threatens Violence.
The Herald and Examiner sent a
truck driver around to the corner Of
47th St. and Racine Ave. to run us
out, because we sold hundred copies
of The DAILY WORKER, while the
boy selling the Herald and Examiner
sold about a dozen. 1t made the
Herald and Examiner sore to see The
DAILY WORKER compete with them.
The driver tried to be tough and or
dered us to get away from the news
stand and stay away.
Then he ordered one of our newsies
to go into the yards and stay there
with our paper. He said: "Stay there
with your lousy old paper" Of course,
we couldn't do that, for if we did it
would give the packing companies a
chance to have us arrested for tres
passing on their. private property.
Then he threatened to punch us in the
nose. But he never tried it. He argued
for while and then drove away,
while we stayed there and sold all of
The DAILY WORKERS that we had
with us and could have sold a few
more if we had them with us. This
man didn't know that we were going
to build up trade for The DAILY
WORKER on the corner and then
turn them over to the news stands
and news boys and let them sell them

time to church work. What has come
Of his contact with god in the line Of
better salaries for anyone but him
self is not revealed.
Don't Hold Water.
At the banquet Green declared that
high wages mean increased efficiency.
He added that since 1900 the eff
cheney Of American wage earners has
averaged an increase of so per cent in
all lines. The contradiction in these
two statements was not explained, as
the real wages, or what money wages
will buy, have decreased precisely as
efficiency has increased, particularly
in the era of greatest mechanization
of industry and terrific application of
speed-up systems since 1913, have the
real wages Of Americas workers
steadily declined.
Neither did Green reveal any COM
prehension of the fact that the pro
portionate increase of wages to the
increased rate of profits, is the only
way wages can be judged as high"
or 'low," thus showing again that
the increased efficiency has not re-
suited in higher wages but in higher
profits.
Not Step Toward the Left.
Green's Scientific" notion of wages
and profits is cut close to the wage
principle" resolution adopted by the
last convention of the A. F. of L.
which some simple people thought at
first was revolutionary proposal
Among these naive persons, mixed
with some renegade radicals such as
Ludwig Lore, the wage resolution OF
the A. F. of L. was thought to be a
step toward the left.
But the principle" that high wages
produces efficiency, combined with the
false premise that American workers
now get high wages" is being ap
lied by Green in openly offering tC
iapital collaboration of the unions
IN increasing eficiency-speed up
Ind mutual cooperation to lower cost

Telephone Strikers
Get Approval from
Harrisburg Unions

HARRISBURG, Ill, Jan. S-Joint
efforts of the Lions Club, Rotarians
and Kiwanis Club, were under way
today in an effort to force cessation
of the strike of operators for the
Illinois Southern Telephone company
which has interrupted business here
and in nearby towns for three d avs.
Each club has named committees of
three to confer with the operators
and company officials.
The Harrisburg trades council at a
meeting in which 20 local unions of
different crafts were represented,
unanimously endorsed the action of
the striking operators.

the workers now have. In addition, as
this efficiency" is put into effect by
collaboration between unions and
bosses, the required production is fur
nished by fewer workers and even if
a few are higher paid the rest have
been put on the streets without job.
How About Unemployment?
How long the high wages" of the
remaining few employed would stay
"high" when unemployment follows
efficiency" was not explained by
Green to his fellow officials. What
ideas he has on this problem was con-
cealed behind bland but untruthful
claim that there are 100000 mem
bers affiliated with the A. F. of L.
Unfortunately the report Of the exc
cutive council OF the Atlantic City con-
vention shows the A. F. of L. member
ship as 2,S7S,297, including the pad
ding for representation from affiliated
bodies,
"Since its organization the labor

claimed, with some truth. But he used
an unfortunate example when he
cited the United States Steel corpora
ton as being compelled by moral
force" of the A. f. of L. to reduce
the hours from 10 to in the steel
mills.
Unions Better Than Moral Force.
The tens of thousands of steel work
ers still working twelve hours will
be glad to hear of the moral force
which accomplishes miracles, but
they would be happier to see a sign
Of militant unionism in the steel mills
instead of so much moral force and

ARBITRATION

mittee.
According to reports from the New
York conference Of miners and oper-
ators a scheme is under consideration
for settling the anthracite strike, that
If adopted will be reputation Of the
miners position on arbitration.
The scheme is reported to be as fol-
lows: A mediation board of five to be
elected by ballot-the report does not
say who shall be the electors-to take
up the disputed questions and attempt
a settlement of same, failing to arrive
at an agreement, the mediation board
shall elect, or appoint arbitrators to
decide the point they fail to settle.
Betrayal of Miners.
The reported proposal is a fat re-
pudiation of the miners stand against
arbitration and must not be accepted.
To turn over our demands to a media
ton or arbitration board is equal to
a surrender and betrayal of the coal
diggers.
Arbitration is a snare and has at all
times in the past resulted in a betray
al of the workers. Notably the 1922
strike by virtue of the Pinctot arbit-
ration board.
Our demands are terribly made
uuate, the miners with their wives
and families are starving and their
Iiving-even when they are working

arbitrate their meager demands now
is to surrender the very life and hap
piness of the miners, their future
place in society, and to say what kind
of men and women they shall be-" as
stated by Lewis in a speech a short
time ago in Pennsylvania.
No Right to Strike.
No agreement is made on the eco-
nomic demands, or length of contract.
or check-off. 1t seems the immediate
fight is on arbitration. A victory for
arbitration is a defeat for the miners
and would settle the present dispute
but would deny the miners the right
to strike in future disputes for THEN
demands. It is a treacherous wipe
that must be fought and repudiated b.
the coal diggers.
The fact that the miners represent
atives areas eported-discussin
this proposition with the operator
shows a weakening and perhaps
contemplated surrender to the OPP
ators on arbitration. The miners mu
act at once in their local unions ar
have kilograms sent to Lewis in Ne
York repudiating arbitration and d
manding an extension of the struggle
Lewis has already mishandled thi
strike by permitting the maintenance
men to scab on the miners, and thi
proposed method Of settlement, would
if accepted, be a total betrayal of the
anthracite slaves
Down with arbitration.
