Buzz Of Campaign Bee Heard in Senate

Parties Sure They Will Win Elections

the Coolidge administration, Norris re-
Gently announced his support of Will
liam B. Wilson, the democratic nominee
for senator in Pennsylvania. Through
out the fight over farm relief he stood
with the McNary- -Haugen bloc, and
against the president. There was much
questioning among the politicians to-
night about his future intentions to-
ward the republican anication, but
he did not provide the answer.
Before it quit, the scT.ate also
heard democratic campaign speech by
Senator Harrison of Mississippi. With
the president almost within earshot in
his office just off the senate chamber,
the Nississippian sarcastically con-
graduated him upon his desire to get
away to the Adirondacks for the sum-
mer, far from the circle of his party
leaders in congress.

the challenge and predicted majority

WASHINGTON, July 81. The buzz
of the campaign bee sounded a dron-
ing requiem over the dead session of
congress tonight as senators and rep
resentatives turned homeward after
seven busy months in Washington.
Even before the session ended to-
day, the militant spirit Of the coming
fray filtered into discussion on the
floor of both senate and house, and the
senate was treated to a first class SEN
sation by receiving unexpectedly the
resignation of Senator George Norris,
the republican insurgent from Nebras-
ka, as chairman of the powerful COM
mittee on agriculture. The veteran Ne
hraskan said he merely wanted to re-

The Social Workers Ideal Is the

way. Chief among these are the so
cial problems growing out Of industry
and inseparably associated with indus
trial development. In this category
may be placed industrial accidents,
child labor, unemployment, occupa-
tional diseases, sanitation and indus
trial hygiene. There are other CLASH
fcations which, while important, are
considered of minor character. All
have their bearing upon the main and
principal matters OF interest"
There is meat for the social work
ers. Labor's spokesman praises philan-
thropy. Unfortunately class collabora-
ton has not yet perfected capitalism
to the point where social ills will be
largely eliminated. In fact, we must
admit, says Brother Green, that these
ills can never be eliminated. Poverty
and distress are inevitable. True enuf,
under capitalism!
Nevertheless, President Green pays
tribute to the millionaire philanthro-
pists who, after obtaining their wealth
out OF the exploitation of the work
ers, do their little bit each Christmas
season ito alleviate their distressed
condition" This is '-in keeping with
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-10

sought and the public is asked to give
generously and freely to alleviate
their distressed condition. In keeping
with the spirit of good will which pre-
walls at this season the public answers
the call of the needy in a most com
mendable way. Many who are hungry
are fed. Many who are cold are clothed
and made warm. Many who are sick
are given medical attention. Homes,
which have been dark 5 and dreary
are made cheerful and bright with the
laughter of happy children.
I'VE may dream Of a world without
poverty and distress, but our dream
can never be realized. The underlying
causes of human suffering have al
ways existed and in all probability
they will ever remain with humanity
in some measure or degree. Human
want and human woe can be traced to
various causes, and | am confident
that it is the will and the desire OF
society to remove the causes which
make for human suffering and human
distress. While We cannot attain the
ideal by eradicating all causes of hui
man Ills we can deal with some OF
the causes from which our social ills
originate in q concrete and effective

the spirit Of goodwill" Shades Of
Christ attest.
Who is this Society" which Green
says is pining ito remove the causes
which make for human suffering and
human distress?" The public" per-
haps, which responds so commercially
to the cries of starving children-once
year. Is it the government which
refrains from interfering in these pet
ty matters? Or is it the proposed Har-
mony Corporation, with capital and Ia
Dor as joint stockholders, that is 60
ing to make the homes of all the work
ers cheerful and bright with the
laughter of happy children?"
1t would be hard TO dope these birds
out, If one were to give them credit
for possessing any knowledge about
the real causes Of the ills of capital
ism. But we know that they don't
possess this knowledge. They do, how
ever, control the labor movement.
That is why the militant workers must
be on to their antics and prepare
themselves to wrest control from the
observation-disclosures and turn the la
Dor movement into revolutionary
channels.

WE hear lot of talk nowadays
w among bourgeois friends" of the
labor movement, as well as from So
called labor leaders," about the so
cial ideals OF labor" Seldom are these
ideals specified. There is much con-
fusion in the minds of those who talk
glibly about them and wide disagree
ment between those who advocate
them. Even President Green himself
Is not too clear on the subject, but
he is at least trying hard to make his
ideals coincide with the most accepted
and most respectable conceptions Of
social workers and humanitarian COM
panyNnionists.
Consider two choice paragraphs
from Brother Green's address to the
American Association for Labor Legis-
lation on December 80, 1925:
Charitable organizations and
friends OF suffering humanity, thru
the press and thru other mediums OF
communication, attract our attention
to the FREDERICKSBURG number of peo-
pie who suffer bodily pain and who
are torn by the fangs OF poverty. For
these unfortunates assistance Is
