NEW BOGUS SIS BILL.
Federal Reserve Note Is Poorly
Made. Saws Chief Moran.

Chief Moran of the Secret Service
today warned that new counterfeit
IS note on the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago has been in evidence. The
bill is described as follows:
'Nineteenfourteen series; check
letter F.; face plate No. 751; back
plate No. 1898; Frank White, treas
urer Of the United States: A. W. Mel.
Ion. Secretary of the Treasury;
portrait of Lincoln.
This is poorly executed counter
felt produced by photo-mechanical
process on one sheet of paper The
serial number is imperfectly impressed
and printed in black ink. while the
seal is off color. probably tinted by
hand, and the portraiture dark and
smudgy. Several fine lines appear
on the face and back in imitation of
silk threads, but these are not colored
and are reproduced in the etching
process. The back is more deceptive
than the face, which is nearly one
fourth Of an inch shorter than the
genuine"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-20
BY HENRY PURo..

To all those comrades who under
stand what a tremendous task our
party has in this mighty country OF
imperialist capitalism, it is clear
that our party today is an Insignia
cantly small one. 1t may be that we
have already improved the working
power of our party by reorganization
and by being able to minimize, If not
altogether eliminate, fractional group
ings within the party. But what we
need is new elements and fresh blood
in our party veins.
Because of the internal situation in
our party within the last two years we
have not been able to pay enough at
tention to drawing new members into
our ranks. 1t is true that we have
conducted many mass campaigns in
the various phases of workers strug-
giles and activities. Some of these
campaigns have been very successful.
But because our task is so great and
our activities so manifold, all our
active members have been overloaded
with work. They have to go from two
to three meeting at the same time.
Yet we have not been able to attend
to all the work that is before us. In
order to clarity how important is the

these respective grades of work it is
evident how vicious these unorganized
miners and their children are robbed.
While this condition exists among the
workers, the bosses of the Kentucky
coal fields are intensely active in an
attempt to centralize and monoplize
the Kentucky mining fields.
The young miners of Kentucky must
militantly institute campaign for the
unionization of the youth miners, If
their deplorable conditions are to be
better and to be guaranteed lives of
human beings. The present is the
proper time for this move, not only
confined to their own district or state,
but strive to initiate and build a move
ment taking in all of the unorganized
southern mining fields, serving two
purposes, that Of protecting them
selves from the vicious attacks of the
bosses and in so organizing the south
ern fields would mean that the north
ern miners can fight more securely
and more determinately when the
bosses can no longer shift the opera
lions of the mining industry from the
organized northern states, where the
workers more or less are accustomed
to struggle, to the unorganized south
ern fields.

Stool Pigeon Handed
Long Term as Reward

NEWARK, N. j., July 1S.-Turning
Of states evidence by men who thus
expect to go free as a reward for help
ing to convict their companions is
likely to receive a setback in the fate
Of Michael Batula, who served as a
prosecution witness against another
youth in a holdup trial here.
Batula was a jaunty and confident
witness, looking at the jury in the
manner of one who is doing a great
public service. But when he himself
went before Judge Dallas Flanagan
for sentence after being convicted the
court sent him to prison for IL to 20
years.
Fashions in rewards for states evi.
dence have changed considerably in
this state since 1921, when Charles
Brandon was electrocuted in Trenton
on questionable finger.print evidence
aud the testimony OF an associate,
Charles Perchand, who originally had
been accused Of the murder involved
In that case Perchand got only four.
year sentence.
