Sheriff Peter M. Hoffman and form

county Jail were saved from starting
jail sentences in the Druggan-Lake
scandal when U. S. District Judges
Page and Anderson of the circuit
court of appeals directed the county
clerk to withhold mandates ordering

If Attorney Austrian is not success
full in obtaining stay from the SUI
preme court, the mandates, it was
said, would be issued saturday and

GEORGE
IS VICTORIOUS
IN PARTY ROW
D Defeats ASquith on
Strike Issue
Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, June 9.-David Lloyd
George, former premier Of England,
who crossed swords with Lord oxford
and Asqulth (for Premier Herbert
Asqulth) over the support of the Bald
win government during the general
strike, has won a decisive victory in
the meeting of the liberal pariamen-
tary group over his opponent. Lloyd
George was upheld by a vote of 20
to 12.
This vote means that Lloyd George
Will retain the craftsmanship but that
the party itself is split in two parts.
The vote yesterday was foreseen last
week at meeting of the parliamen-
tary group, the majority of whom
voiced sentiments favorable to Lloyd
George and who sent communication
to Asquith informing him of the
sense of the meeting"
The Drift Of the Factions.
The two factions will probably di-
vide and the Asquith group win throw
its parliamentary support to Baldwin
while the Lloyd George majority rae
ton will line up with the laborites in
assailing the strike policy of the Bald
win government and incidentally its
entire policy in relation to labor, with
the mine crisis playing an important
role.
Lloyd George, as the representative
Of the industrialists, feels that threats
10 industrial England should not be
tolerated simply because of the unfa-
vorable situation in the coal mining
industry and favors compelling the
government to palliate the mine own
ers in order to aid other branches of
industry, while Asquith speaks for
the middle class merchant and rich
land holder tax payers who strongly
resent any form Of subsidy for the
mines as it heavily increases their tax
burdens.

Federal Employees to
Lose Out on Pension

WASHINGTON, June T. Federal
employees chances of getting legisla-
ton before congress shall adjourn, IL
beralizing their old age retirement
pension plan, are growing desperate.
The house bill, dictated by President
Coolidge, calls for a 3Ae5 levy on
the salaries of federal employees for
the pension fund, and limits pensions
to $1,000 maximum. This measure
was adopted by the house and was
substituted in the senate by a meas
ure favored by the employees, making
the maximum pension $1,000 a year
and levying 40 on the pay envelopes.
The house failed to take the usual
course in disagreement by rejecting
the senate substitute and asking for a
conference; the hous simply stood pat.
There the matter hangs. The White
House contrived the deadlock In or
der that the senate conferees might
have no chance to convince the
spokesman OF tn house that $1,000
pension was none too iargA

the next few weeks returns coming in
will amount to $4,000, which will be
forwarded to the British miners as
fast as it is received.
The recent delegate conference in
England of the British miners fatty
rejected the demands made by the
coal barons insisting that the miners
accept an immediate wage reduction
and another reduction shortly there
after and that they also accept com
pulsory arbitration in all matters af-
fecting working conditions. The re-
fusal of the miners to accept these
terms came after careful considera-
ton of the proposals and upon the
realization that to accept them would
mean to reduce the miners and their
families to a level of beggary, and
would be the beginning of reduction
of wages for workers in all other in
dustries.
In an appeal sent out by the Miners
Federation of Great Britain signed by
Herbert Smith, president, and A. ].
Cook, general secretary, the workers
of all countries are called upon to
rally to the support of the struggling
British miners, both morally and fnan-

The inquiry Gets Started.

WASHINGTON, Juns 9. The
senate's inquiry into the use of "slush
funds" in senatorial primaries opened
today with the recent Pennsylvania
election directly under investigation
because Of charges that $4,000 900
were spent in the three-cornered re-
publican race for the toga Of Senator
George Wharton Pepper
Rep. William S. Ware, who won the
nomination, and governor Clifford
Pinchot, who ran a poor third, were
in attendance while Pepper was with
ing calling distance. All have placed
themselves at the committees dis
posal.
A host of election officials from the
three camps were present under sub
poena to reveal the financial arrange
ments under which their candidates
raced for the nomination.
The managers and treasurers of
each campaign have denied excessive
expenditures in their own ranks while
declining to comment officially on the
campaigns of their rivals.
Their testimony however is expect
ed to reveal clues which probably will
carry the investigating committee on
further inquiry in Pennsylvania.
The committee, dominated by the
old democratic-insurgent coalition, is
expected to delve deeply into the sub
ject Of campaign funds. The demo
Gratis particularly believe that the dn-
quiry will develop priceless campaign
material for the November elections.
The committees membership includes
Senators James A. Reed, democrat, of
Missouri, chairman; William H. King.
democrat, of Utah; Robert M. LaFol-
lette, Jr., republican, Of Wisconsin;
McNary, republican, Of Oregon; and

Famous NeWberry spent only $780,
600. These huge. expenditures
have been labelled "Newberryism.
1t is admitted that the money is used
for corrupt purposes. But even the
New York Times points out that
"the conduct Of statewide primary
is yearly becoming more expensive"
In spite of the attacks ON New
berryism" the corruption goes on,
ever growing in proportions.
Only the most unenlghtened
worker will harbor any delusion that
the members of congress, who win
their seats thru the expenditure of
millions of dollars, will give the
slightest consideration to working
class interests. Yet the returns in
the Pennsylvania elections showed
that the greatest number of voters
followed the candidates with the
largest campaign funds. This, how
ever, should only spur the effort to
win the workers away from their
masters.
The great exploiters write the
platforms, build the organizations
and provide the campaign funds for
their candidates.
The workers must also write the
platforms and programs, build the
organizations and provide the cam
paign funds for their own candidates
in the elections.
This should be very clear to great
masses of workers. The fact that
it isn't yet clear to any large num-
bers of workers is not a challenge to
it's truth. 1t is merely an acknow-
Judgement of the fact that labor
does not yet accept what should be
an elemental axiom. Labor does not
yet see the need for the labor party.
Nowhere in their arguments for
and against either the convention or
primary system of nominating candi-
dates, does the ruling class ever
mention working class interests. 1t
is not compelled to do so. The work
ers do not even raise it themselves.
The big argument presented is one
of economy" The capitalists are
always In favor of economy in gov
eminent, especially where they can
not shift the burden of the cost of
running their government off their
own shoulders onto the shoulders of
the workers and farmers. Thus they
also argue for the commission rather
than the council form of municipal
government. They claim it is
cheaper.
Workers and farmers must not be
confused by such cure-alls. If the
toiling masses do not have a labor
party of their own, they have moth
ing. If they have a powerful labor
party, gaining strength in every
struggle, then it doesn't matter
much whether old party candidates
are chosen in primary elections or
in delegate conventions.
"Newberryism" will be a big issue
in the fall congressional campaign.
II is safe issue because it is not
fundamental class issue. 1t will be
used in the agricultural states in an
effort to hide the fact that both the
democratic and republican parties
have failed to provide any agrarian
relief. 1t will be used in the cities
in an effort to draw attention away
from the black industrial tyranny of
the great capitalists. The senatorial
probe of campaign expenses will
serve both these purposes, if the
situation is not understood rightly
by labor with its eyes ever upon its
answering demand for the labor
party.

hardening to the dissatisfaction in the
west, so strikingly expressed in the
Iowa turnover.
Brookhart's smashing insurgent vic
tory in Iowa on an anti-Coolidge plat
form has been followed by greatly in
creased republican pickering and dis
sension.
Dawes Is in Game.
Vice-President Charles G. Dawes,
Morgan lackey, regarded as a poten-
tial candidate in 1928, already has
staged a false split with President
Coolidge on the issue of farm legisla-
ton. To all intents and purposes, Gen.
Dawes is today really leading the fight
for the McNary-Haugen farm relief
illusion in the senate. The farm bloc
leaders call his counsel economic
direction" And in the background,
saying little but putting forth prodig-
ious efforts in the same direction, is
Ex-Governor Frank o. Lowden, Pull
man capitalist Of Illinois, whose
friends say he win be a candidate in
1928 irrespective Of President Coo
lidge's plans to succeed himself.
There is also what amounts to a real
revolt among the senators against the
republican leaderships exercised by
Senator VIM. NJ. Butler of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the republican
national committee, who is considered
the White House spokesman in the
senate.
AssaiI Butler.
Many republicans, particularly those
from the west, are bitterly blaming
Butler for Brookhart's insurgent
triumph. 1t was Butler who, against
the advice of even such conservative
eastern republicans as Edge of New
Jersey, Reed of Pennsylvania, Bing-
ham of Connecticut, and Moses Of New
Hampshire, accomplished the ousting
of Brookhart and the seating OF his
democratic opponent, Daniel F. Steck
Brookhart was unseated by the mar.
row margin of four votes. Butler voted
against him, and took with him such
votes as Gillett of Massachusetts
Dale of Vermont, Greene of Vermont
Weller of Maryland, and Sackett Of
Kentucky.
5ewail 5rookhart Ousting.
"And now look what we have
petulantly exclaimed one republican
senator today. I'VE put democrat in
Brookhart's place, and still have
Brookhart. Had Brookhart been left
alone, Cummins would have been re
turned, and we would have been, al
least, no worse off. But now we have
two anti-administration votes from
Iowa. If that is leadership, or polit
ical sagacity, then don't know
politics"
Criticism Of the republican nationa
chairman was reflected in such com
ment as made by Senator Capper, re
publican Of Kansas, who said
"A great blunder and great mis-
take was made by unseating Senator
Brookhart."
Senator Edge Of New Jersey, said
perhaps IL some of the good polit
icians,' who voted to Gust Brookhart
had voted differently. the result il
Iowa would have been different"
