STATE WINS TILT.

The defense indicated before it start
ed that it would be Monday before
its rebuttal could bs completed. 1t
is believed from this fact that argu-
ments will start late Monday.
A two-day battle over the admissi-
bility as evidence of the blcod-stained
clothing taken from the body OF Cooper
the day after the killing, ended in vic
tory for the state, when Judge Q. NJ.
Fitzhugh admitted the garments. after
prosecution and defense had disputed
the location of a wound on Cooper's
body. Presetation of the clothes closed
the states inning at noon Saturday.

As usual, when reactionary ma

self proved in Article Is.
This year, knowing that he faced Q
revolt If he openly backed the ole
open shop agreement, Jensen managed
to confuse the members with a hasty
maneuver on a new agreement, where
in Article IS, providing for the oper
shop, was neither definitely removed
nor approved, but left blank to await
whatever might be done by the Build

sions. This, too, Jensen claimed was
an agreement for a closed shop, ant

REPUBLICANS IN
IOWA ENRACED AT
BROOKHART TALK
Rumors Indicate Support
of Democrat
Especial to The Daily worksr)

DIES MONIES, Iowa, June IL. -
Business, banking and political circles
in this state are quite excited over the
utterances of Smith w. Brookhart,
victorious republican nominee for the
United States senate, at the State Fed
Grafton of Labor convention in Mason
City, especially his advocacy of a law
decreeing that all profits over five per
cent. This was his first public ap-
turned over to fund for public use.
He also declared that the legal rate
Of interest should be not more than
five per cent nor less than four per
cent. This was the first public APP
pearance since his defeat of Senator
Albert B. Cummins on Monday.
Republican Machine Furious.
The official republican machine in
the state that supported Cummins
against Brookhart has seized upon his
utterances as an excuse to start a
campaign for the support of the dem.
ocratic senatorial candidate, Claude A.
Porter. They have not yet officially
endorsed Porter, but the railroad and
harvester trust papers are trying to
incite them to do so.
Contains No Dangers.
Brookhart's proposals are calculated
to insure business stability" by
guaranteeing a certain definite in
come on all forms Of invested capital
and he hopes to win support for his
proposals among the small business
men. He explained that he had in.
vestigated the history of national
wealth and had discovered that the
yearly gain is less than four per cent
and that his plan will materially bene-
fit investors.
This typically petty capitalist pana'
cea is the excuse for a campaign by
the agents Of Imperialism in Iowa
who are bound to big capital in Chi
cago and New York. They will prob
ably support Porter, the candidate OF
the democrats, which party is the
property Of the House Of Morgan, Just
as they supported Steck in 1924, who
was placed in Brookhart's place in
the senate by vote Of the Mellon
Coolidge coalition of republicans and
democrats.
] The farm crisis which became acute
last winter will probably ensure
Brookhart a decisive victory over his
democratic opponent even tho the re-
publican machine carries out its
threat to fight him.

OTTO MISCH co,
IMPORTS SCABS
ON CARPENTERS
Big Detroit Strike in
Third Week
Especial to The Daily worksr)

NSPCStai TO ! ne LAZY WorkeFl
DETROIT, June 1O.-The strike OF
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America against the
Otto Misch Co., the largest builder of
Detroit which enters it's third week
today, is developing into an endur-
ance test. The Misch Co. has been
recruiting and importing scabs to take
the strikers places with some degree
Of success, while the striking carpen-
tera are vigorously picketing the jobs.
MIseh Heads "open-Shoppers."
Misch has operated open shop" for
FIVE or SIX years and is the pet of the
big capitalists Of Detroit. Much money
besides his own reserves will likely
be put at his disposal to defeat the
strike.
The carpenters have been weak In
Detroit since 1920 and their strength
has been further impaired by separa-
ton from the Building Trades in 1923
and a split in their own forces
brought about by the expulsion of
two local unions by Hutchinson in
1925.
Strike Teaches Need for Unity.
This is the first strike OF any mag
nitude attempted in recent years and
It drives home the need of unity with
In and solidarity with the building
trades and other workers more than
of repeated statements TO this effect
have been able to. In fact this d.
vision of the workers In their struggle
with the bosses perhaps outweigh all
the other sins Of omission and com
mission Of which the bureaucrats are
guilty.
II this strike accomplishes nothing
else, It VIII at least teach all those
capable Of learning anything that a
union which chops on its left wing"
loses its balance and most of its wal
lop.

Carpenters Vote Today on Officials

planned" that this meant the closed
shop. That Is how Jensen got a
majority vote for 1t. But, beholdl
Right after that, along comes this cleo
ton, with Jensen's machine issuing a
circular saying-''Let's go for a 100
per cent closed shop" So the car
penters haven't got it yet, in spite of
Jensen's supposed CLOSED shop" con-
tracts,
The only other question the mem
bers voted on was: do you approve
that wages should be raised to $1.50
on the first of October?" The mem
bers had demanded this raise to take
effect June 1, but they were not asked
to vote on that question by Jensen,
but for or against an October raise,
and II they voted NO" would thus
have voted against any raise at all.
Thus Jensen did tina bosses a favor
by saving them q lot of money and
cheating the carpenters out of the
same by delaying the raise four
months.
Jensen 4 Bosses Man.
There is a general feeling among
the union membership that Jensen is
a bosses man." we'll borne out by
the above facts, as well as the way the
capitalist newspapers, known to favor
the open shop, play up Jensen as a
great leader" of marvellous genius,
publishing his photograph with eu-
logistic comments.
Jensen pushed thru the present
agreement carrying the same clause,
without change from last years,
which provides: "There shall be no
restriction of the use of any raw or
manufactured material, except prison
made" This permits scab materials
OF all kinds to be used by union car
penters.
Proaressives Stand for Unity.
This ignoring of the necessary
solidarity with the union mill men
and other material producers, is in
line with Jensen's policy OF splitting
the building trades and keeping them
divided over one excuse or another.
The progressives have always stood
for unity with the other trades and
aflliation with the Building Trades
Council, but only recently, when they
moved in the District Council that the
carpenters affiliate with the Building
Trades Council, Jensen's machine
voted 1t down, altho Jensen himself
admitted that the old excuse for stay
ing out of the B. T. c., the dispute
with the Sheet Metal Workers over
setting metal trim, was settled.
Bobzin Expected to Win.
The progressive candidates, who
challenged the Jensen-Sand machine
to debate-a challenge the machine
dodged-are headed by members we'll
known for loyalty to the union over
years of active membership. Fred
Bobzin Is the progressive candidate
against Jensen for district council
president. Dan II. G. Friedricksen
runs as progressive against Charles
II. Sand Of the Jensen machine.
The progressiyes have an excellent
chance for election this year, as only
one candidate opposes Jensen. Last
year two candidates split the opposi-
ton to Jensen, who squeezed thru by
this means, but he got only 1870 votes
against 9,7S2 votes of Deuel. and stahl
who ran separately. This year, Fred
Bobzin is Jensen's only opponent, and
the progressives are united to support
Bobzin and give Jensen a long de-
served defeat.
