STANDARDIZATION, according

their needs. Some people we're fool

went to war to establish that right

United States has developed the most
Unsuitable imperialist appetite OF all

stranglehold on South America. Now,
after a few years of surface peace
with Mexico, our southern neighbor,
the state department sends a note
that no self-respecting nation could

Mexican legislature Of law which af-

ROTTEN fraud
Crooked Governor Tries
NeW. Swindle

A gang Of bankers, merchants and
manufacturers assembled In Chicago
yesterday in response to a call from
Governor Len Small, the Shiny poll
tician convicted of stealing a million
dollars from the state Of Illinois while
he held the office OF state treasures,
represented this so.ealled farm con.
ference. In addition to this crew
we're few ex'farmers, now retired
and living in luxury In the cities Of
the state, while the labor taking
henchmen Of Small made up the bal.
ance.
This inglorious crew discussed the
various fraudulent panaceas proposed
by Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine
and other republican and democrat
politicians trying to make political
capital out OF the misery OF the farm
ers.
After talking all day they decided
that a delegation of fifty, to be chosen
later would be sent to the agricultural
conference to be held in Des Moines,
Iowa, on January 2S.
Thus endeth Small's great cam.

share the special privileges of the
labor aristocracy. Hence they are not
so easily aligned with the imperialist
policies of the bourgeoisie. The young
workers Of the United States are a
factor in the leveling process which
is terminating in the depths of the
American working class.
From such a premise we can begin
to conceive OF the significance OF the
role played by our martyred Comrade
Karl Liebknecht. His deep interest in
the youth movement and his piercing
analysis OF capitalist militarism and
the struggle against It will always be
connected with his name. In the
broadcast sense both of these problems
are inseperably bound up. The youth
stands the major burden of capitalist
militarism and as a consequence must
form the front line battalions in the
struggle against II. In his book on mill.

writes; There is nothing specifically
capitalistic about milltarism. More
over, It is proper and essential 10 all
systems OF class society of which the
capitalist system is the last. Capital
ism like all other systems OF class
society, developes It's own special va

The executive council, which came
into power after stealing the last cleo

and then throwing out the opposition
candidate for president, J. F. Ander-
son, is compelled, according to the
laws adopted at the Detroit conven-

every two years, and new election
would thus take place in January,
1928. The convention also adpoted a
proposition for holding a convention
every two years instead OF a four
year period.

Wages in the yards" are low.
They are lower than the wages in the
other industries. Added to the low
wages is the brutal speed-up where
one man does the work Of nearly two
men. On top of all the grievances
of the workers In the yards" is the
fact that the meat packing industry
does not offer steady work to the
workers. At many times of the year
production drops off and workers
make less than a starvation wage.
To Keep Force Intact.
In order to keep skilled working
force intact the packers use the 40
hour guarantee. Last year the work
ers in the hog kill had to work 10
and 10 hours day, every day in the
week. The workers were forced to
come down and work one of the holt
days during the busy season. As soon
as the season was over the packers
laid OFF all of those that were not
needed in order to avoid paying the
4O-hour' guarantee. They trimmed
down their killing gangs to such an
extent as would be able to handle the
hogs that were to be killed.
