STEEL BOSSES
WANT TO HIRE
CITY OFFICIALS
Enlist Labor Takers to
Boost Their Scheme
10y a Worker correspondent)


YOUNGSTOWN, o., Jan. 10-Back-
ed by the chamber of commerce and
labor leaders" the steel kings of
Youngstown are advocating the man
ager plan" of city government where
by business man" approved by the
chamber of commerce and the lead
ing bankers will be hired by the city
council to administer the affairs of
the city.
Youngstown is operated at present
under. the charter form of city gov
eminent with the mayor and council
men being the only elected officials.
The capitalist press with much ado
announces the united 'front.' of the
labor leaders" and the chamber of
commerce as step towards securing
efficient" government for the city.
The labor leaders favoring the
chamber Of commerce in actually
represent only themselves and the
steel workers fully understand that
there is no difference between the ku
klux khan dictatorship now in power
and the labor" endorsed dictator
ship proposed by the chamber of
commerce. Clyde Osborne, former
YOUNGSTOWN attorney, and now grand
dragon for the Ohio khan, has visited
the city hall several times during the
past few months demanding that the
khan elected officials clean up the
city. The state ruler of the invisible
empire threatened to send in his own
Investigators. Arrests of crap shoot
ers, etc, followed. The labor lead
ers' and chamber Of commerce in
backing the manager plan urge the
voters to remember that by adopting
this plan they will remove the city
from the influences of politicians and
place it upon a business basis. 1t is
much cheaper for the capitalists to
appoint a manager that it is to elect
a mayor and therefore with the Gus
tomary plea for Economy" in gov
eminent the bankers and their organ
izations with the aid of their press
will try to win the steel workers over
for another good government" cam
paign.
There is a growing demand for a
labor party and the steel workers
will enter the fall election campaign
prepared to defend their interests,
backed by platform based upon
their needs and not the needs of the
chamber of commerce and it's tabor
leaders"

The building was formerly operated
by the Adams Express company,
which paid these exploited workers
starvation wages, as low as $40 per

was resented and the strike followed.

The workers, especially the miners,
are disheartened at the failure OF
their attempt to organize. Many are

THE second anniversary!
l. For two long years our own
DAILY WORKER, the only English
language Communist daily paper in
the world has militantly fought the
battles of the workers. of America.
Dependent solely upon the workers
as means for its existence, these
past two years had found The DAILY
WORKER to the forefront in all of
the workers battles, written and edit
ed from the workers point of view.
In the mining fields two years ago
little groups of left wing miners were
raising money in every manner pos
sible to make the birth of The DAILY
WORKER possible, as their share of
the work. Groups travelled from one
local union to another speaking at
local unions, receiving donations,
making collections, to send as their
quota for the establishment of The
DAILY WORKER. And they gave,
they gave liberally,' for the need of
a workers daily is appreciated no bet
ter than by these men whose daily
struggle is for existence against the
forces Of the coal operators, the. labor
bureaucracy and the capitalist govern
ment.
TN their many struggles of the past
L they realized what a tremendous
factor is the press, particularly when
they had no press of their own. In
their every strike for better condi-
tons and higher wages, when they
would strike in order that they may
force a concession or two from the
bosses, the realization of the import
ance of the press became more and
more apparent.
In all their struggles, prior to the
advent of The DAILY WORKER the
miners had no expression of their
aims, their demands, no defender of
their rights. True, we have many
labor papers," we have many "official
journals" but if these.sheets vary one
iota from the usual type of capitalist
sheet, then am an Eskimo. The
birth of The DAILY. WORKER assur-
ed these miners that in their future
struggles they had a powerful ally,
defender, organizer and propaganda.
TINE one big serviceorendered the
4 left wing of theIIminers by The
DAILY WORKER was shortly after
its inception. On January %, 1924,
nine days after the firstsiss came off
the press, The DAILY WORKER was
on the scene in Indianapolis at the
international conventi6kv OF the
miners, assisting, aiding and encour-
aging the left wing delegation who
was fighting a militant battle against
the reactionary Lewis, and his army
of boozers, boodlers, Abrfbers, thugs
and gangsters. The DAILY WORKER
fought for the left wing at the con-
vention, and when many unfavorable
breaks were experienced by the left
wing delegation The DAILY WORK
Err urged them to fight on. What
ever the left wing accomplished at
that historic convention of the miners
was due, to a great extent, by the
assistance of The DAILY WORKER
who was on the ground and read by
many hundreds of the delegates daily.
For two years now The DAILY
WORKER has fought such battles
for the workers; not only in one Sec
ton of the country, or concent-
rating chiefly upon one industry, but
