The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-20

THE industries covered in this sur
vey are iron and steel, textiles,
food products, paper and printing,
lumber, automobiles, leather and
shoes, cement, brick, glass, nonfer-
rous metals, petroleum refining, rub
Der tires and tobacco.
The report states that there is no
reason 10 question the representa-
tive character of these figures. If
they can be questioned at all it would
be rather on the basis Of underesti-
mating the number Of workers dis
placed by increased production, be-
cause the department Of labor sta
tistics as well as the statisticians for
the federal reserve board are always
careful to err in favor Of the CAPT
talist class.

where they MUNICH Salvation Army doughnuts. Yes,
there is much about the thousands of Salvation Army
doughnuts handed out What ronical spectacle to
comprehend Lest the Legionares do not get any well
come at all, their own countrywomen-the Salvation
Army-have to the day.
And only Saturday read New York "Sun" head
line, "Arny of U. S. Legionaires Expected to Steal
Away Frenchmens Heart" Well, WELL well.
An A. P. story of Sept. Is reports two interesting
facts: To-day the Union of Socialist Municipal Coun-
ellis in the Red belt of suburbs around Paris decided
that it mot possible to join in the official rejoicing
Monday and still less to invite the popuace to rejoice
The murder of the innocents Sacco and VanZetti

sued proclamation telling the populace they must not
participate in the fee after the murder of Sacco and

This is IF the borough governments of the Bronx,
Queens, Brooklyn Staten Island, and Jersey City boy
coted Fascist convention in Manhattan. But only two
paragraphs the taend of a long story are devoted
to such an astounding fact.
That the $4,000 Legionaires in Paris do not rep

1t is apparent that General Pershng himself has to
apologize, telling New York World" correspondent,

come to Europe they were engaged in essential war

OF course will deny that many members of the

French workers. will be directly to blame for dsappont

Says U. p dispatch: Hundreds of women were
picked up during police raids early today (Sept ~ and
held for ten days detention to protect American Legion
aires Thousands of other girls were ordered to remain
off the streets.
"Montmartre raided five times Patrol wagons
inadequate to transport the harvest An order has
been issued for bars dance halls in the Latin QUAR-
ter to close at 2 A. NJ"
The Legonaires may wonder why the police resort to
such methods to protect them But the police are try

ONE Of the most effective and de-
" ceptive weapons in the hands Of
the league Of nations is its so-called
International Labor Office, which is
supposed TO handle labor problems
affecting international relations. It's
principal function thus far has been
that of propaganda and it maintains
an elaborate staff Of alleged econo-
mists labor experts and compilers OF
statistics. These worthless devote
their precious time to presenting
fraudulent arguments reeking with
s0phistrV in behalf Of the ruling
classes of Europe.
At the present time the industrial
lists and the bankers who have heavy
investments in Europe are trying to
make secure their investments by in
Producing the worst features Of the
American speed-up system. A whole
series Of recent weekly bulletins Of
the labor office is devoted to try
ing to prove that increased produc-
ton as a result Of the Introduction

same banal arguments put forth by
the American lackeys of the capital
list class in the labor movement to
the effect that only increased produc-
ton win increase wages are the
principal stock in trade Of the mental
prostitutes of the international la

IN what purports to be a review OF
the condition Of labor in the United
States since 1919 the international

no doubt that there has been a gen
eral increase in the prosperity OF
the working classes in the States ano
that this has gone hand in hand with

While it is undeniable that the
condition Of the upper strata, the
most highly skilled, of the American
working class enjoys a higher stan

The Electric Chair Civilization.

The Electric Chair Civilization.
Editor, The DAILY WORKER,
Dear Friend and Brother by struggle:
When / stop to think about that
black hour when the thunderbolt
crashed through the hearts of two
innocent people, shudder at the
meaning Of this so called civilization.
That Judges, and professors, presi-
dents Of the most exalted social in
stitutions, should seal human destinies
behind closed doors, and wreak
vengeance in the most brutal way is
a vision beyond comprehension. Why
these silk halted cannibals don't scat
ter dust and ashes over their heads,
and raise a voice toward heaven, cry
ing "Hypocrisyw that their ears may
hear and their hearts tremble at what
they did on August 23l Miserables!
the coming generations will spit in
the face Of this monstrous barbarism
you style civilization!
Yet they triumph. Let them
triumph Let them terrorize during
their day. We know, and history tells
as that the ultimate victory belongs
to the masses.
No gallows and electric chairs shall
stop the victorious onward march of
humanity If they killed two
fighters thousands will spring into
their place to carry the torch Of revo-
luton against grinding conditions. In
fact Sacco and Vanzetti are not dead.
Their bodies are gone but their
spirits remain more truculent than
ever before They were men, now

THE TRIP OF THE LECIONNAIRES
BY EDW. w. CONNAWAY.

There was Carl lie Mon the bankers son
And sheik from the boulevard,
The senator's boy, his pride ana JOY,
With the bootleggers son for a pard;
Then catching step, the merchants kid
Hooked arms with the mayors hope,
And the brat of an Irish ward boss
Palled up with prosperous dope;
A yegg and his pal who had cracked a crib,
And a siX-foot minister's pride
Drank booze and joked with half dead soak
On this world-famed drunken ride.
But where are Bill and Ike and Phil,
And Tryako and the fighting Finn
Who waded thru mud and CUTS and blood
To see democracy win?

AN INTERNATIONAL BUREAU FOR lying
TO THE WORKING CLASS

constant increase in production,
means increased unemployment and
has a tendency constantly to lower
wages and beat down working cOndi-
tions in general. 1t does not require
superabundance Of economic un-
Outstanding to perceive the fact
that the speeding-up system enables
the capitalist masters to produce
mere goods with less labor and that
instead Of increasing employment it
throws workers onto the street.
Every ordinary trade unionist knows
that when there is unemployment in
industry it is difficult to maintain
wage standards, and almost impos-
sible to secure increases.
gUST what are are the facts re-
> garding the increase of produc-
ton since 1919?
There is no question that produc-
ton has increased to a considerable
extent, but this does not mean that
the number Of wage-workers has in
creased in proportion. Quite the
contrary is the case, in spite Of the
dirty sermonizing Of the profession
al liars Of the capitalist class.
Certainly no one will contend that
the United States department of la
Dor is partial to labor. On many &C.
casions we have presented facts to
prove that this department, especi-
ally under James J. Davis and the
Harding Coolidge Hoover gang,
twists figures in order to maintain
( the illusion Of prosperity that is the
stock-in-trade Of the republican ad-
ministration. Hence when we quote its
/ figures on production in relation to
employment no one can accuse us Of
. quoting from sources partial to la
Dor
The figures are available only to
the close Of 1925. AS compiled by
the federal reserve board and present
ed in the Monthly Labor Review of
the United States department Of la
Dor for May, 1927, statistics show
/ that between 1919 and 1925 the num-
Der of wage earners decreased ST.
per cent, while the population of the
country increased 90 per cent. Wage
/ earners per 1000 population IN 1923
were 16.1 per cent fewer than in
/ 1919.
Thus we have the spectacle of a
constantly increased production, with
a constantly diminishing number Of
wage workers.
We await patiently the attempts
of all the contemplate scoundrels
and swindlers who call themselves
labor statisticians to explain away
these damning facts. In order that
there may be no clubbing over our
source of information we herewith
publish the table which is to be found

There is nothing in this world that
stirs the wrath and fire Of the masses
as hatred does. That demon has been
deeply rooted into the heart of the
toilers. With every grunt at the
electric chair a roar will be heard on
the street, a roar which will grow,
expand, and highten, until it burst in
to the tempest that will sweep this
pestilent system to its everlasting
doom. That storm is coming. The
day Of emancipation is coming. | can
see it through the roar of the multi
tudes all over the world. And if at
dooms day babies will quake in their
mothers wombs, let postprandial
philosophers keep their mouths shut,
for it is the Fullers, Thayers, Low

Additional Sports
MERCER WILL
MEET LOCAL
9 TOMORROW
Fast Game Assured, Starts at
2:3O-Many Good Teams
Are Booked

Bismarck journeys to Mercer to-
morrow to play the strong Mercer
nine and indications are that the
game will be fast and furious.
Mercer has the nucleus of its last
years team, with the addition of sew
eral Of the best men from the strong
McClusky Denhoff- Goodrich nine OF
last year and one or two from the
outstanding Wilton team.
Dopcsters are booming Mercer and
Turtle Lake as the two strongest
teams in their part of the state and
they seem likely to live up to their
reputation, although Mercer will meet
worthy opponent in Bismarck.
The Lineup
The game is called for ESQ 1t Mer-
Ger and the lineup is:
Fuller, left field.
Simonson, center field.
Smith, right field.
Paulson, first base.
Mocn. second base.
Riley, third base.
Shagehorn, shortstop.
Lcnaburg, catcher.
Wadeson, Slonicker and Webstr,
pitchers.
Webster may get in az a twirler
during part Of the game as he is an
ail-round platter and although he has
only been out for practice twice, has
shown his ability. Last year, he was
with the same team as Donaldson, the
greatest pitcher ever known, with
headquarters in Minnesota.
"Doc" Love will not accompany the
team tomorrow, as he hasn't yet
rounded into shape sufficiently. Eddie
Tobin will also be out on account Of
his injuries but both Of these men
will likely be on the card for the
next home game. Despite the fact
that Tobin has had several years
more baseball than doc" the lat
ters business experience should help
him get the kinks out of himself fas-
ter than Eddie.
Turtle Lake is booked for next
Sunday at Turtle Lake and this game
also promises plenty of $pced. The
Mandan and the Sunday following
ed good bunch Of athletes, will
come here.
Play Linton
June 16, the Bismarck boys 60 to
Hazelton to play at the annual stock
show there and will meet the only
team in the state. outside of the
House of David, which they weren't
able to defeat last year. That team
is Linton, but this year it will no
doubt be composed Of the best base
ball talent in Emmons county. Lin
ton has wonderful aggregation this
year and is playing for a purse Of
$l35, put up by the stock show as
ISOLATION.
Not all the Bismarck regulars will
be able to make the trip, but an at
tempt will be made to present as
strong team as possible.

LEVINE'S WIFE SOON
RECEIVERS FROM SHOCK

Garden City, N. Y, June 4.-(R)-
Mrs. Charles A. Levine, who was
unaware Of her husbands decision to
accompany Clarence Chamberlin on
his flight until shortly before the
take-off, recovered from the shock
few hours afterwards and was
bearing up bravely, friends said.
IF he is game enough to go, I'll
be game too," she said.
The hysteria she displayed when
she learned Of her husbands deter
mination to go disappeared.
Mrs. Chamberlin, the pilots wife,
was among those who comforted her.
Mrs. .Chamberlin, although plainly
nervous, smiled through tears and
said she was confident Of the success
Of the flight.
Mrs. Levine is the mother Of two
children, Eloise, nine years old, and
Ardith, aged nine months.

kiwanis Members
Gather at Memphis

Memphis, Tenn, June l.-tR---
Ralph A. Amcrman, Of Scranton, Pa.
president Of Kiwanis International,
who will end his administrative
duties during the nth annual conven-
tion of the organization to be held
here commencing tomorrow, arrived
today to take up the many tasks OF
an executive nature in connection
with the work of Kiwanis in the
United States and Canada during the
past year.
ANYONE like myself, who has been
a constant and close observer OF
Kiwanis activities during these past
twelve months, will agree that We
have put into practice our altruistic
policies and our high IDEALS" MIR.
Amcrman told Memphis citizens and
officers Of the organization arriving
today. "The under-privileged child
work has increased so per cent; vO-
cational guidance has been engaged
in by twice as many clubs during
1926-27 as in the previous convention
year; and the work Of creating a bet
ter understanding and relationship
between the town and country peO-
pie has advanced tremendously"
1.-THE forming of enduring friend
ships, the building Of better COM
munitics and the steady action to de-
velop more intelligent, aggressive
an serviceablc citizenship, these
things have been our work since the
organization Of kiwanis in Detroit
over twelve years ago."
Few now ASK" said Mr.. Amer
man. "why kiwanis is attracting 50
much attention in the United States
and Canada. Everyone knows that
Kiwanis has always been attracted to
work Of the highest social type for
the advancement of all mankind"
Business sessions for the 18th con-
vcntion Of the organization will com
mcncc Monday morning and continue
until Thursday. Some 5000 dele
gates, members and visitors from all
over the North American continent,
will arrive today and tomorrow.
