DEAD AROSE AT
ELLER'S ORDERS
And CAST VOTES
Even the Grave Gives
Up Its Secrets

Dead men may tell no tales but
they are darned good voters If they
can get away with It. This is the
political philosophy of Morris Eller,
the popular boss Of the goth ward,
stalwart member Of the Crowe-Bar-
rett-Galpin wing of the G. o. P. and
monarch Of all he surveys in the Max
well street district.
When Morris makes up his mind to
turn his ward over to q candidate he
makes his bailiwack stand up, lie
down or roll over at will. Morris is
proud Of his ability to deliver and
divers relatives and retainers are also
happy because Morris puts them on
some friendly payroll with everything
eliminated except the salary.
A Fine Machine.
This is how 1 build my machine
and it's darned good one" admit
ted Mr.. Eller proudly at the slush
fund inquiry.
Such honesty was 50 novel that the
hardboiled Missouri senator, Jim
Reed, almost swallowed his cigar.
County Judge Edmund X. Jarecki
spilled the dirt on Eller for the good
reason that Eller did not line up his
voting cemeteries for the judge. Nor
ris made them live, work and vote
for States Attorney Groves man.
Savage. bs
Here Is the Story.
The following results were reveal
ed by an investigation of ten pre-
cincts:
Two hundred thirty-nine persons
did not vote, but are recorded as hay
ing voted.
Eighty-four voted from non-existant
addresses.
Nine voted from vacant lots.
Seventy-six voted from vacant
buildings.
One hundred and three voted twice.
One voted three times.
Five hundred and twenty-nine per-
sons voted, but moved before the pri-
mary.
Fifteen hundred and three names
on the poll books were unknown at
the addresses given.
Twelve died before primary day,
altho the books show they voted.
Five names were those of children.
Fourteen outside Of the precinct.
One is serving life term in the
penitentiary.
Reorganization shows $3.50 fraudu-
lent votes were cast. The recount
shows 21,245 votes were falsely can
vassed

brought the superficially overwhelm-
ing defeat of the proposals for more
powers to the General Council.
| think, it is worth while to empha-
size here the fact that, on the first
time the minority movement has in
any way come up for a vote by the
7. U. c., it secured nearly three-quar-
ters of a million votes.
Certainly there were nearly two and
three-quarter million against it, but a
comparison of the votes it received
with the numbers of workers repre-
sented at minority movement confer
ences is close enough to be very sig
nificant.
Refuse to Discuss Betrayal.
A fine point needs to be stressed
and to be stressed in the strongest
manner possible. That is the sinister
precedent that has been established
by the General Councils refusal to
discuss the general strike on the al
ready familiar ground that its respon-
sibility lies on the conference Of exec
utives. The General Council main
tanned its point, in spite of determined
opposition.
The protests came, not alone from
the left wing, but from so extreme a
right winger as Mr.. Naylor IL. s. CT,
who pointed out with perfect truth
that the General Council was elected
by the T. U. G. and was responsible
to it for all its activities, and not to
the conference Of executives. Further.
that since the present General Coun-
Gil retires this week-and the confer
ence Of executives will be held god
knows when-it will never be held
responsible.
The General Council, to put it
bluntly, has taken a long step in the
direction of superseding-the word is
not too strong-the T. U. C. as the
supreme body in the trade union move
ment.

U. 5. BOASTS
OF PROFIT IN
black Coal
10000 Tons from One
Port in One Week

The weekly coal trade paper Black
Diamond, published in Chicago, gives
some interesting statistics on the
movement Of American coal used tc
break the British miners strike. II
says that from Hampton Roads alone
100000 tons were shipped last week
and shipments continue heavy.
Constantly Increase.
Railway figures shows exports OF
American coal from Hampton Roads
for the period Aug % to %, amount
ed to 32A799 tons; Aug, 30-Sept 4
sO3,17S tons; Sept. Gil, 342505 tons
Total exports from Hampton Roads
Jan. / to Sept IS, as reported by the
bureau of mines, were 6,6S0,292 tons
against exports Of 3.33S,997 tons, for
the same period of 1925. Exports from
all American tidewater ports from Jan
/, 1926, to Aug. 81 were S,S33,216 tons
against 3S95,1SS tons for the same
period of 1925
Exports for the month of August
1926, alone amounted to 2,S26,639 tons
20 per cent as much as all last years
exports up to Aug. 81.
The increase Of American exports
amounting to 4,93S,02S tons in eight
months is, however, but a small part
of the increase of coal production this
year caused by domestic industrial
activity. Up to Sept. Il, American soft
coal mines produced 374,753,000 tons
against 336.10S. 600 for the same period
last year-a gain of 4S,645,OOO tons,
nearly ten times the amount of the
gain in exports.
Non-Union Mines Lead
West Virginia appears to be getting
the lions share Of the export business
caused by the British strike. Produc-
ton of that non-union state for the
five weeks ending Labor Day was, by
weeks: 100000, $4,000, 2,972.OOO
1850. 900. and 1,777O0O tons. The drop
the last week was due to the influence
Of the holiday.
In the same weeks the production OF
Illinois mines was 1890 900, 1920,
600. 1,2S8,O0O, 1,4O6,0OO, and 1,21S,00O
tons. \ few years ago Illinois and
West Virginia were running neck and
neck in tonnage. Just at present
however, the surprisingly large pro
duction of the Illinois mines Is a fea'
ture of the coal trade.
Illinois, which long sagged below
non-union Kentucky, has again taken
the lead over that state. In the five
weeks production race Kentucky's ton
mage was 1,147, 900, 100000. 1,16S,O0O,
1,14S,00O, and $4,000, Illinois leading
every week.

Council Must be strengthened.
Union control in the building in
dustry or for that matter in any 9TH
er industry can be maintained not
thru the good will of the contractors
but thru the organized power OF the
workers in the industry
Mr.. Heating in his complaint. said:
1.-THE members of the union are
very numerous and when concerted
action is obtained thru the agency
Of the council make the rules, penal
ties and demands of the council and
its affiliated unions. II the same be
permitted powerful instrument for
the oppression of the members of the
unions, employers and Others"
A Lesson In II.
The building trades men should
realize that there is a valuable les
son to be learned from the above
paragraph. 1t is the combined forces
of the various unions to which Mr..
Heating objects. 1t is this very in
strument-The Building Trades Coun-
cil-which must be broadened and
strengthened.
There are powerful unions in the
Industry in Philadelphia which are
not yet affiliated with the council.
The carpenters. bricklayers and 9TH
ers are outside of the council and
must be urged to join. The interests
OF the various crafts in the industry
are 80 interlocked as to make com
mon action burning necessity. The
Heating affair is a case in point:
The plumbers would have been help
less were II not for the solidarity
shown by the hosting engineers.
The Building Trades Council must
take the initiative in the campaign
for the unification of all forces in the
Industry. Petty jurisdictional friction
must be forgotten In face OF the com
mon danger.
Organization the Answer.
The unions in the building indus-
try must not stand by idly during this
injunction fight. The open shop cam.
paign must be answered by gen.
eral organization drive in the indus
try. Organization committees should
be elected in every union and the
campaign begun under the leadership
Of the council II necessary the INF
tIation fees should be lowered to
make effective organization work pos
sible
Stronger upions in the industry
and council Including all the unions
are the best guarantee against in
functions and open shop drives b.

ONCE did not want any trouble on
this issue
Miners Lose Compensation.
Knowing that the district Office will
not make a fight for miners who are
manned by careless treatment, or who
are allowed compensation far below
that which should be paid, the coal
companies systematically make II I'M
pleasant for a miner who contests
their offers OF settlement.
The result Is that thousands Of dol
lars which the injured miners are en-
titled to remain in the Golfers Of the
coal companies.
All of this tends to weaken the
confidence OF the miners in their
union and the total result is not con.
fined to a money gain for the op.
orators but results in strengthening
Of their position as against the
union.
Operators Aggressive.
Since the acceptance Of the 5-year
anthracite agreement with arbitration
and the surrender OF the check-off
by the Lewis-Cappelini machine the
operators are more hard-boiled than
ever in their administration of the
compensation law.
On this one issue alone the anthra-
cite miners can be rallied for the ma
tional ticket headed by Brophy, Stew
enson and Brennan which is pledged
TO abolish operators influence in the
union.

But the court continues to delay.
While the Judge is considering"
what his decision shall be, The
DAILY WORKER, from day to day,
will present to its readers the dam
aging facts brought forward in the
So aftidavits and the arguments
made in their favor. The whole
American working class must be
made familiar with these new de-
velopments that show the United
States government deliberately
framed up two workers and tried
to put them to death when its
agents were fully aware Of their in
nocence.
Dedham, Mass, where this his
toric labor case is being enacted,
that ought to shake the very found
atoms of capitalism in this country,
dates back in American colonial
history nearly three centuries to
1886. According to the census of
1900 its population totAlled 7,457
with less than one-third, or 2,1S6
foreign-born,
A free school, one of the first in
America to be supported by direct
taxation was established in Ded-
ham in 1645. 1t did not get a pub
lie library, however, until 1854. 1t
is not the typical New England fac
tory town, with huge foreign-born
population, but contents itself with
the manufacture on small scale
of carpets, handkerchiefs and wool
en- goods.
The atmosphere here is saturated
with the Familiarity reactionary New
England pride, bitterly hostile to
foreigners.
Unlike every other court room I
have ever been in, this Dedham
courtroom in the Norfolk county
court house has great steel cage
to the right OF the judges chair,
the kind of cage that is used to
house animals in the zoo. II is
painted a sickly yellow, The judge,
a diminutive specimen Of humanity,
full of self-assurance and selfim-
portance, struts about in a flowing
black robe that drags the floor as
he walks. Not very imposing
hangman Of the working class.
IT was into this atmosphere that
the two Italian workers, Nicola Sac
co and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were
brought six years ago to fight for
their lives, confined like wild ami
mails in the courtroom cage, while
guards and militiamen, heavily
armed, lowered everywhere about
during the entire trial that resulted
in their conviction and sentence to
death. 1t was a drama we'll staged
by the ruling class. During the hear
ings two weeks ago Sacco and Van
zetti were not in the courtroom.
The cage was empty.
But the last act has not yet been
played. The red-baiting of the year
1920, has passed to a very great
extent and Americas workers
should now be able to consider the
Sacco-Yanzetti case without preju-
dice. Labor is in a better position
now than ever before to take up
the fight for Sacco-Vanzetti as its
fight. For it is the struggle Of the
American working class against the
American capitalist class and its
lackey, the capitalist government.
The 60 afidavits put American CAPT.
talism on trial. In the minds of
Americas workers the capitalist
government must be declared
Guilty."
