FL CAMP AIGN
Under Way IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
Knutson and Tom Ayres
Tour State
BY JOHN GABRIEL SALTS.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

CHESTER, S. D., Oct %. - The
Farmer-Labor Party campaign in this
state is now forging ahead with full
steam, Alfred Knutson and Tom Ay-
res, the Farmer-Labor Party guberna-
torial candidate, are holding splen-
did meetings in all sections of the
state, which is divided between the
seasoned campaigners of the farmer
labor party. For the first time in
many years, Miss Alice Lorraine DAILY
Is not on the rostrum, due to re-
cent illness. This is quite a handicap
to the farmerlaborites as she is a
great favorite with the masses of this
state. However, she is doing con.
siderable directing in the campaign.
As the issues are being hammered
home of the farmer-labor batteries,
and the producers modified for the
farmer-labor ticket, the capitalist pol
iticians are planning desperately and
are resorting to their well-known
methods of corrupting certain leaders
identified with the farmers, in order
to defeat Tom Ayers.
On Monday last. the capitalist pol
iticans pulled one of their "surpris-
es." Mr.. Batcheledr, who is presi-
dent of the Farmers Union Of this
state, has issued a circular letter to
the locals, in which he instructs the
rank and file to support Bulow, the
democratic candidate for governor.
This is now causing a furore among
the membership of the Farmers I'm
ion, as Bulow is the cats paw Of
Senators Norbeck and McMasters,
who are in alliance with him to re-
store their dethroned pie-carders at
Pierre. 1t is also recalled that Batch
elder did the same thing for Coolidge
two years ago.
The revolt is on against him It is
clear that the capitalists will not
stop with BatcheldeD The farmer
labor forces are expecting something
to come out from certain labor fax
ers, as the situation is becoming fav-
orable to the farmer-labor party.
The farmers are evincing an inter-
est in what their brothers in the I'm
ion of Socialist Soviet Republics are
doing. They are especially inquisi-
tive here about the Soviet land laws.

EARNINGS
DECREASE, MANY
ARE LAID OFF

Shrinking of profits in the auto
mobile industry due to increased
competition and slackening of trade"
is evidenced in the earning reports
given out by two major factors of the
industry, the Yellow Truck and Manu-
featuring company and the Chrysler
corporation.
Can't Meet Dividend.
The Yellow company reported net
income of $163,946 for the three
months ending September 30. This in
come fell nearly 100000 below the
dividend requirement on the 7 per
cent cumulative preferred, it is report
ed. The dividend required on the
s15,OOO,0OO preferred stock issue is
$262, 900.
The net income Of the Chrysler COM
pany was reported at $3,87S, 900, which
will give to common stock, after pre-
ferred, 1927. This is compared to S1.65
that was received on common prior TO
this quarter, and with $2.S2 on com
mon the same period last year.
Increase Unemployed.
Unemployment in Detroit was in
creased by 3,406 persons last week. re-
ports of the manufacturers show. The
total number employed now stands at
224,SOS or 41,OOO below the number
employed last year.
These figures seem to show that the
manufacturers themselves are giving
evidence that Ford's celebrated 5-day
week was not philanthropy, after all,
inspired by social ideals.
