If President Coolidge tried to get
unearned income and stock dividends
out Of farm investments instead of
from his cozy block of U. S. Steel
Corp. shares he might be as eager to
help the farmer as he is to help the
steel and other industries.
This startling slant on the motives
possibly underlying the federal policy
against agriculture was broadcast over
the air by State Senator NJ. L. Bow
man Of Iowa, speaking over VIGIL,
the Chicago Federation of Labor
radio station, in an address on the at
tttude Of the Farmers Union toward
organized labor.
THE farmers" said Bowman, do
not question the honesty, the integrity,
or the Christian character of our
president Of the United States when
he shares in the 5000, 1000, 900 melon Of
U. s. steel by virtue OF being one of
the stockholders. However, our mid
west farmers are beginning to believe
that II our president, who seems to
feel that the farmer should work out
his own salvation, found 1t necessary

Labor and the farmer should realize
that their interests are mutual, that
the worker must have good wage to

come the ruin and wreckage left by
the Waldman administration when 1t
was kicked out of Office in July OF
last year.
Strikers Demand Support.
1t is plain that such a union, in
so difficult an industry, cannot win its
strike without support of the labor
movement. 1t has shown great cour-
age and fighting spirit in maintaining
workers whose loyalty to the union
has been many times challenged by
the betrayals of the Waldmans and
similar reactionaries who associate
today with Mr.. Shiplacoff.
These workers have a right to de-
mand Of all trade unions that they
come to their support. Placing con-
ditions upon the support of these
workers is nothing more nor less
than blackmail. You say you will
give relief on the condition that the
present leadership gets out.
Do you really think that the work
ers, who have learned their lessons
with the Waldmans will sell them
selves for the return Of Waldman,
who had ruined their union and had
discredited unionism, and who had
used the Paper Box Makers Union
as pawn for their own aggrandize-
ment and shameful purposes? The
Paper Box Makers Union will give
the proper answer to such blackmail-
ing methods.
Hit at shyloek Methods.
We should like to ask one more
question of Mr.. Shiplacoff. Why such
an interest in the Paper Box Makers
Union? Why this meddling and in
reference with workers out on strike?
You are supposed to be against in
reference in labor unions-you who
were only yesterday the Executive
Secretary of the Socialist Party Of
New York are really against Commu-
mist and so-called outside" interior
ence in labor unions. Why this inter-
ference? Why the Shylock terms to
workers demanding relief?
In your actions in the Paper Box
Makers situation, you believe all Of
your high-sounding phrases about mo
politics in the unions" and show that
behind these phrases is the gross in
tentton to utilize the union in order
to clean out men and women who
have been fighting a hard battle
against the bosses and their agents,
with the hope Of putting in your own
ugly group Of reactionaries who will
throttle the will of the rank and file
and maintain itself by gangsterism
and terrorism. The Paper Box Max
ers have a right to say to you-the
new little hero Of the reactionaries-
Keep your hands off the Paper Box
Makers Strike" The workers and
members of your own union and all
unions will give relief, not because of
but despite you, In the interests of
solidarity and unity and for victory
against the bosses.

RIGHT WING ATTEMPTS BLACKNAIL
OF NEW YORK PAPERBOX STRIKERS

NEW YORK (By MALTA. I. Ship
lasoff, who has been selected as Chief
Executioner OF Communists by the
so-called Preserve the Unions" lin
reality Destroy the Unions) confer
ence held at Beethoven Hall, has
made an attack upon the Paper Box
Makers Union and It's leadership in
the Jewish Daily (Socialist) Forward.
In his statement he expresses dissat-
isfaction with the leadership of the
union. including Fred Cailloa, the
manager who came into office after
a revolt of the rank and file against
the last manager, Waldman, who was
backed by the Socialist Party bureau
cracy in the labor unions and who
was guilty Of graft gangsterism and
corruption which had brot the union
to ruin.
Shiplacoff declares that relief will
be given to the Paper Box Makers
Union only on condition that those
who control the union at the present
time get out of the situation. More
than this, he admits that he has as
surances that the strike can be set
tied.
1t is well to ask few questions of
this new hero Of the right wing bu-
reaucracy: You are dissatisfied with
the leadership of Caiolla and his as
sociates, who are not Communists
but plain, honest, trade unionsts, who
have cleaned out the corruption and
the mess left by the Waldman clique.
Whom do you wish to lead the Paper
Box Makers Union and their strike 7?
Do you wish the return of Mr.. Wald-
man and Company, whom you sup
ported when the rank and file kicked
him out of office?
You state that the strike can be
settled. What special information
have you? The attorney for the Pa
per Box Makers Union is Mr.. Will
lam Karlin, a prominent official Of
the Socialist Party, one of your own
sort, who is very closely allied with
you in the present WITHDRAWING COM
paign against the Communists. Why
has Mr.. Karlin not succeeded In get
ting a settlement with the bosses ear
lier? Are you indeed on more init
mate terms with the bosses than is
Mr.. Karlin or the union? Mr.. Sig
man, your hero In the cloakmakers'
strike, worked with the bosses before
and during the strike. Do you get
this information from Mr.. Karlin, or
have both. of you been keeping GER
tain information from the union and
from the workers?
This strike OF the Paper Box Max
ers' Union has been fought by the un-
ion against the. most miserable oon-
ditions prevailing in any industry. It
has been fought with very little re-
sources at its command. The pres
ent leadership has had to overcome
not only the opposition OF the po-
lice, of gangsters, and the resistance
Of the bosses, but has had to over
