Plans were laid to visit all nom
party subscribers of the Communist

The greatest part of the evening,
was devoted to the report of Comrade

applications of its decision to local

CLASS STRUGGLE
Progressive Group De-
mands Change
BY Federated Press.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
conservative and substantial farmers
in the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton were listening eagerly to the
emissaries of big business in Chicago
the working farmers of the northern
tier Of states from Wisconsin to the
coast were gathered in Minneapolis
taking a radically different slant on
the agricultural problem. About 100
delegates from the landlord-ridden
mortgaged farms agreed that:
1.-THE producers of wealth and the
great combinations of capital have
no Interests that are Identical. The
struggle between these two classes
Will intensity until the toiing
masses become organized so that
they may take over the machinery
of production, distribution and ex-
change to the end that these agen-
cles may be operated In the interest
Of the many instead of for the ben
eft of few"
The movement has been swinging
eastward from the nucleus of the
Western Progressive Farmers, headed
by Bouck, for several years. 1t revolts
not only against the banker, landlord,
oldline politician and the financial oil
garchy OF the Atlantic seaboard but
also against the halfway measures
that that have failed to change farm
bankruptcy into prosperity. Land
should belong to the users, the pro-
gressive farmers declare, while pro-
duction, transportation and communi-
cation should be nationalized. They
also urge the transformation of the
economic structure so that 1t will
function comparatively for service in
stead of profit.
Instead Of setting up an agricultu-
raj monopoly or trust, as the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation desires,
the radical farmers demand the ma
tionalization of all monopolies. In
place of the farm bureaus hostility
and suspicion toward organized labor.
the Minneapolis convention calls for
solid battle line of all producers
against the exploiting interests, as
sorting that 1--WE are. opposed to all
unearned incomes"
The delegates came from Washing
ton, Montana, North Dakota, South

Bulletin of Secretary of Labor
Shows Ignorance of Passaic Strike

tin, which surveys nationwide condi-
tions for that month, under Passaic,
we read:
"The employment situation in the
textile industry shows a marked i'm
provement over conditions existing
during the past several months. One
plant is increasing its operating sched-
ules and adding additional workers. A
surplus of factory workers in the
wooden and worsted industry still ex-
ists.".
This is governmental innocence. No
suggestion that the conditions exist
ing during the past several months"
resulted from the strike. or that the
plant which is taking on additional
workers is the one which first signed
up with the textile workers union, or
that, naturally, there is still surplus

tinues against mills that have not
signed up.

Signs of Another
Big Baseball Scandal
S e e n; Lands Silent

The young workers who are inter-
ested in sports will have another OPP
portunity to witness the corruption
and graft in the business known as
professional sports. On the very heels
of the signs that the Dempsey-Tunney
heavyweight championship fight was
fixed in advance there are definite
rumors floating around Of wholesale
swindle in baseball. The findings
promise to be of greater import than
the 1920 scandal which almost
wrecked Comiskey's White Sox and
resulted in the outlawing of eight
payers from organized baseball, while
the fellows higher up still stuck in
the business.
X. M. Lands, well-known open shop
advocate and baseball's car, has re-
fused to disclose to the press UP to
the present the facts in regard TO
the new scandal. 1t is well known,
however, that as long as sports re-
main business under the control of
capitalists there will be graft and corr
ruption attached to the games. The
young workers must turn their sup
port towards the growing movement
for the organization oil q labor sports
movement.

Chinese in Chicago

Dear Comrades: - was telling the
Chinese laundryman across the street
about the article in today's DAILY
WORKER on China, and he handed
me a quarter and told me he would
give me cigar If would get him one.
The dealer at Chicago and Wells was
sold out, so l went to the Oak and
Clark dealer and got one. stopped
at another Chinese laundry on the
way back, and they wanted the paper,
so had to get another one for my
original customer.
About 80 per cent of these laundry
men are heartily in sympathy with the
Chinese revolutionary movement. Pro-
perly managed, l think The DAILY

siderable indirect support from these
people. 1t would not be bad idea to
teach them to read English.-W. s..
