No capitalist newspaper would have
a hard time raising $4,000. The

continue to pour out their iovenom

The exploiters of the workers and
the, poyerty-stricken farmers know a
good investment when they see one.
The DAILY WORKER is without any
reservations against the ruling class

= WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Rafael
Nonzo, general secretary of the Free
of Workingmen of Porto
Rico, has reported to the Pan-American
Federation of Labor the departure Of
800 families of laborers from Porto Rico
to Arizona. He asks that inquiry be
made in Arizona as to whether they
are TO be used in breaking strikes or
for any other purpose hostile to the
program of organized labor.
Cotton growers in Arizona have sent
to Porto Rico for these workers be-
cause the island has employment at
present for only one-third to one-half
of It's workers in q population of L.
100000. Wages in the island are mis-
erabiy inadequate to maintain q de-
cent living standard.
"The prosperity OF Porto Rico is
being enjoyed only by half dozen
corporations that derive all the fruits
OF the island for the benefit of those
who live outside the country" Alonzo
says.

THE DAILY WORKER--THE BEST
INVESTMENT FOR THE WORKERS

More than half that comes off the
American press is advertising mate
rial. Newspaper and magazine adver-
tisements are the most costly and dane
gerous forms of subsidy to the bour-
geois press being paid at the expense
OF the working class. The fact of the
matter Is that the American working
men and farmers annually subsidize
the employers press to the sum sof
$S47 100000 thru advertising alone
Surely we are not making impos-
sible demands when we ask the Amer
lean workers and farmers to give $780,
900 to KEEP THE DAILY WORKER.
From forty to seventy-five per cent
of the bourgeoisie newspapers is con-
sumed in advertising matter. The
New York Times, the outstanding cap
italist paper in the country, gives
away about 1870 of its space to direct
advertising by bankers, manufacturers
and merchants. OF course, the color
OF the advertising pages is invariably
the dominant color of the editorial,
literary and news pages. This is true
Of the best Of our employing class
sheets. The New York Times does
not have to engage in money rails
ing campaigns. II will not ask you
for $4,000 to keep itself alive the
next year. Whether you know It or
not. and whether you want to or not,
you are actually spending millions an
nually TO enable the New York Times
to mobilize the masses OF this coun-
try daily in behalf OF the exploiters.
The High Cost Of Newspaper Talk"
Just to show you how much of the
surplus value wrung from the exploit
ed workers goes to maintain the
poisonous press. let me cite the case
of the Saturday Evening Post. This
well known bourgeois paper. followed
by hundreds OF thousands Of workers,
gets $1,000 for every full page adj

BALDWIN MAKES
new ATTACK ON
BRITISH MINERS
Arbitration RuSe Used
to Break Union
Especial to The Daily worker)

LONDON, Sept. 10. Again play
ing the game Of the mine owners
against the 100000 miners who have
been striking over four and half
months against a wage reduction,
frightening of hours and an effort to
destroy their union, Premier Baldwin
has returned from his vacation at a
French summer resort to place before
the miners leaders a new crafty pro-
posaI to beat the heroic miners into
the ground and bring their explolters
out in triumph.
The prime minister's proposals are:
Baldwin Tries StrkebreakInu Move.
1. That the men go back to work
and leave everything in the hands of
national arbitration court to be
established by act of parliament.
2. That the miners union agree
to accept district agreements with the
mine owners Professionally on the
basis of the longer work day, and ap-
peal their case to such arbitration
court.
8. This arbitration court will have
the power to confirm or modify ques-
tions of wages made on a district
basis.
Wants Union Destroyed.
This is plainly an attack on the min
ers' position against district agree
ments, reduction of wages and
frightening of hours and in addition
asks the national union to abdicate
its powers to legalized arbitration
court, whose DEGREES it must obey.
This sort of proposal will be re-
cognized by American workers to have
similarity to the infamous Indus
trial Court Law" of Kansas, where
the coal miners also were the objects
of attack by the capitalist govern
ment. In that case Alexander Howat
and his militant supporters defed the
law and defeated the mine owner con-
trolled government.
Miners Will Not Surrender.
It can be safely said that although
the million miners of Britain are suf-
fering the bitterest privation and rely
solely on the foreign relief funds so
needed to maintain their families
against actual starvation, they will
probably reject this fragrant proposal
to surrender the power of their union
into the hands of an arbitration court
elected by their enemies, this propo-
sol m ado NV tha Tory rranoiar Paid.
