Join Garment Bosses to
Fight N. Y. Strike
Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK CITY, July 21.-That
the need of unity In the ranks Of labor
to equal the combinations of capital Is
clear in the statement issued by Henry
n. Finder, president of the Industrial
Council of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association, one of the
employers groups against which the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union is striking.
Mr.. Finder yesterday gave out the
following:
"A group of fourteen executives Of
outstanding textile concerns and tex
tile banking houses, believing that the
stand Of the Industrial Council in the
present labor crisis is for the best
interests of this industry, have agreed
to give extra consideration in the
granting and extension of credits to
those Of our members who may be
hard pressed in course of the present
controversy
In addition, the police who acted as
the employers agents in arresting
without cause 400 pickets in the mass
picketing demonstrations extended
their activities without any reason or
even an excuse by raiding the employ
me1t office Of the Furriers' Union at
Sixth avenue and Twenty-seYenth
street and arresting all the furriers
waiting there for jobs.

Republican Chiefs See
Writing on Sky
Especial to The Daily workerl

DIES MONIES, July 21.-As dele
gates to the Iowa state republican
convention met here today there was
small doubt evident that Smith W.
Brookhart as nominee for the United
States senate would be received into
the official bosom of the Iowa republi-
can party, whose state central COM
mittee two years ago repudiated him
for his Endorsement of LaFollette and
fought against him in the Steck-
Brookhart contest.
Hopping On the Wagon.
The heavy majority that gave the
primary victory to Brookhart over the
old guard republican, Cummins, in the
recent primaries has convinced the
old stalwarts that discretion is the
better part of valor and that It is
wiser to step on the Brookhart band
wagon than butt a vulnerable head
against a stone wall.
The farmers are hot under the col
lar, so the reactionary republicans be-
lieve it is better to swim with the
tide until the expected improvement
in agricultural fortunes takes place.
Ready to Ditch Cal.
The politicians in the Iowa G. o. P.
machine are not so crazy about Coo
lidge that they are willing to commit
hari kari for him. Neither will Wall
Street be able to do anything for them
unless they are able to fool the masses.
So they proceed to fool the masses.
And the best way is to swim with the
tide and pose as champions of the
farmers,

Traction Cars in
New York City to
Use the Blacklist
Continued from page u

Rev. Edward Lawrence Hunt, of the
so-called American Good viii Union"
The Transit Commission announced
at the close:
Representatives of the CONSOLIDATE
ed Railway Workers of Greater New
York stated that Notwithstanding the
rejection by the Interborough of their
two previous offers to arbitrate their
differences with the railroad company,
their men were still willing to agree
to any fair arbitration In the interests
of the riding public, and they renewed
their offer to submit these differences
to arbitration"
Company Refuses to Arbltrate.
When James l.. Quackenbush, gen.
eral counsel for the PETERBOROUGH,
heard of this, he snorted.
"Arbitrate what? Define the term.
Give us the ISSUE"
When shown that the question is
the recognition of the union as against
the company uIion, Quackenbush
again expressed his love for the com
pany union.

I'VE will not even discuss such a

Frank Hedley OF the marlborough

not the real labor union, the right to
discuss working conditions. Hedley
added that the strikers could come

took the republican nomination for
United States senator away from
the administration candidate, Sem
ator Cummins.
While the representatives Of the
farmers are discussing the problems
Of the land the Iowa republicans
are gathered in state convention
building their congressional plat
form.
1t was taken for granted that the
Brookhart followers would lay down
a barrage of bitter attack against
the Coolidge gang, that ousted
Brookhart from the senate displac-
ing him with a democrat. But the
same loyalty that keeps LaFollette,
Jr, in Wall Streets republican par
ty in Wisconsin, silences Brookhart
in Iowa and it is declared that all
attacks on the national republican
administration will be soft-pedaled.
Shafts may be levelled at Secretary
of Agriculture Jardine or Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, but "the
party" must be protected.
1t is therefore uncomfortable that
any farmer, studying the Iowa ex-
perience, should be able to find
friends in the old parties. The whole
crew of political parasites, down to
Brookhart, stands unmasked as
flock of hungry buzzards trying to
get political sustenance out of the
woes of the agricultural section of
the population.
There is material enough here for
any fighting elements that may
exist in the organizations now gath
cred at Des Moines to blast this
whole outfit of republican and
democratic political mountebanks
sky high.
1t is not enough to talk about
"the sinister plans of the Coolidge
administration to reduce agriculture
to a state of peonage." That ten
dency must be fought bitterly. The
fighting must come from the rank
and file who suffer aud carry all
the burdens.
Included in the Des Moines meet
ing are the Corn Belt Committee,
constituting the joint legislative
council OF % Middle West farm or
CARNATIONS; the Committee of TO-"
which includes representatives from
III Mid-Western states, and in addi-
ton representatives of the cotton
states. This gathering claims to
speak for 100000 farmers. But
there are also in attendance spokes-
men for the banking and business
interests who have too often
dominated such gatherings in their
own interests.
1t is only the voice that is raised
for the organization of exploited
farmers and farm workers as a
class, against the well organized
class of exploiters, that can really
claim to speak for the farmers.
That voice will not be heard at Des
Moines. 1t will come from the farm
ers where the struggle grows ever
greater. 1t alone will be an indica-
ton that the farmers are really
travelling in the right direction.
