EXPOSE COMPANY
union FRAUD OF
HARVESTER TRUST
Company Can Stuff the
Ballot Boxes
BY CARL HAESSLER

CHICAGO, (FP) July 25-The
contention Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that employe repre-
sentation plans are controlled by the
boss is reinforced by the recent cleo
| ton of worker representatives to the
industrial council of the Interna-
tional Harvester Co. This industrial
council was instituted soon after the
war to hold down genuine unionism
and increase production. Wage cuts,
instead of being merely announced
and carried through from the front
office, are debated and considered in
the industrial council by representa-
tives of the company and Of the en-
ployes. The result is the same, with
one difference. The cut is accepted,
but some of the workers feel better
about it because they think their
representatives had a voice in it.
Field For Stool Pigeons.
In the last year however a group
of Harvester employees have carried
on campaign of enlightenment, ex-
posing the inner working of the in
dustrial council machinery. When
the election for worker representa-
tives was held at the Mccormick
Works in Chicago it provided a text
for a sermon on company control of
the council system.
The company not only selects its
own council members but it sets the
stage so that its stool pigeons and
bootlickers make the grade as worker
representatives. No meetings are al
lowed at which candidates can be dis
cussed or become known to the vo-
tiers. Instead, the company time
keeper and another company man
make the rounds in a sort of primary
and oblige each worker to write the
name of his nominee on a paper which
is dropped into the ballot box.
Company Counts Ballots.
The company counts the ballots and
announces the results, with no check
on the count by anyone else. The
men have to take the company say so
on who got the most votes. Then
they vote again in the same way
without chance to find out who the
nominees are and what they stand
for.
The company counts the ballots
once more and tells the workers
whom they have elected to the in
dustrial council. The men have no
control over these Representatives
no matter how grossly they may BE-
betrayed by them.
Factory Paper Assails Scheme.
The Harvester Worker, a factor,

ers at the Mccormick plant, is driv-
ing for a change in these election
methods, which, it says, "turn the
council into an instrument against
the workers and for the interests o.
the company" Its program calls foy:
1. Election of worker council

ployes where the issues have beer

ing to have its own machinery for col
Letting and counting the votes.
2. Meeting of the employees in adj
vance of every meeting of the in
dustrial council so that their repre-
sentatives may be fully instructed on
the mems demands.
8. Machinery for recall of worker
representatives who violate their in
structions.
"The manner in which the election
Of the employee representatives is
carried out now" says The Harvester
Worker, "shows that they are nothing
but a fraud and deception"

Preach AustrO-G German
Union to Crush Spirit
IOf Vienna Revolution

VIENNA, July 25.-The growing
revolutionary character of the Aust
rian working class movement is be-
ing capitalized by counter-revolution-
lists in both countries for Anschluss
that is for the political union Of
Germany and Austria.
The Viennese revolt clearly proved
that the hold of social democratic
leaders on the Austrian working class
is not as strong as had been COM
monty supposed; that the Commun-
lists despite the relatively small vote
which they won in the last elections
are rapidly gaining strength; that
the Austrian class conflict is rapidly
growing sharper; that the Austrian
bourgeoisie would have been far too
weak to cope with the working class
had it not been for the reformist
leadership Of the social democrats.
The union of Germany and Austria
is advocated in both countries as a
means of preventing a successful
workers revolution in Austria in the
near future.

Saddle Workers With Loan.

VIENNA, July 25.-After crushing
the Vienna revolt the Seipel govern
ment is planning to saddle the work
ers of Austria with new foreign
loans. Using pretext the damage
done to reports, is preparing to open
negotiations for a new foreign loan.
The serious economic situation is
shown by a report issued in June
which places the number of unem-
ployed at 152,499. The entire popu-
lation of Austria numbers less than
seven million.

dropped his bundles to the floor
and in two of his big strides had
her swung high into his arms.
She struggled a little. her high
heeled slippers beating futilely
against his legs, planted far apart.
Then as his laughing, flushed face
bent suddenly over hers, she re-
Taxed suddenly, closed her eyes, and
raised her face to meet his kiss.
Words were Unnecessary, but he
said them: II love you! oh, Wee
Wee, I love you'll"
AS he held her tight against his
pounding heart, he seemed to be
waiting, and at last she turned
her head slightly so that she could
whisper close to hi scar: "And I love
you, Jerry. Did you know I love
you, Jerry?"
II rather guessed it," he chuckled.
"But you didn't, you stubborn little
DEVIL 1t took two months of soli-
tary confinement to make you re-
alize that you were in love with a
red-headed roughneck, instead Of a
Observation-Disclosures sheik. Now,
what are you going to do about it?"
Marry you," she retorted prompt
ly. But kiss me acain-and then
tell me why you treated me as you
did.
I've spent two solid months hat
ing Rosemary Fitch and trying to
hate Vivian because you wrote Of
nothing but them"
"Hey, Vivianl" Jerry shouted, his
voice exultant. Come herel It

Vivian Crandall appeared in the
doorway, Paul Allison's arm about
her shoulder.
"Oh, go away with 'you!" Jerry
chuckled. 81 just wanted you to

Macklyns. Go on with your own
spooning. We're busy"
when you're through crushing
the life out Of that poor girl, you
big brute" Vivian laughed at him.
IT want her. have something to
show her."
When at last Jerry permitted
Vee-Vee to join Vivian in her bed
room, Vee-Vee was startled out OF
her bemused condition by sight
which brought cry Of delight and
envy to her lips.
For on the bed lay q wedding
dress-the kind of bridal robe that
every girl dreams Of and only for
tunes favorites can achieve.
1t was of ivory-white satin, en-
broidered richly in seed pearls, with
panels of real lace set into its lus-
trous folds.
Frothing over the foot Of the bed
was a dream of wedding veil, all
rosepoint lace and tulle, with an
adorable tiny cap of lace and
orange blossoms. Even the tiny

stockings Of intricately wrought
cobweb.
ooh, vivian!" vee-vee breathed
daring to lay caressing, reverent
hand on the misty veil. you're
going to be a dream Of loneliness in
thisl"
"I?" Vivian pretended great sur
prise. why, my dear, don't you
know a divorced woman can't wear
a veil for her second marriage?
That is your wedding dress-from
me to you with love-
And she took Vee-Vee's face be-
tween her hands and kissed her
gently on both cheeks.
"But-how did you know that
Jerry and I-?"
"We're going to be married?" Wv
ian finished the sentence for her,
laughing. I'm betting circles that
would have been called a hundred
to one shot.
Jerry has the license already
went with Paul when he got ours.
You're to spend the night with me,
then We'll all drive over to Connect
icut's Gretna Green tomorrow
morning and be married"
But your parents, Vivian?" Wee
Wee asked hesitatingly. She hated
to dim the radiance Of this perfect
hour, but she had not lived for two
months with Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus
Crandall without learning to care
for them, to sympathize with them
in their fears for their daughter.
II have already written them a
long letter, telling them all about
Paul and our plans" Vivian ar
swered.
"They will be immensely relieved
to know that I am not disgracing
them, and when Paul's book comes
out they will be proud Of him.
Mother loves a literary lion above
all human creatures"
An hour later, over dinner, the
four made final plans for their dou-
bic wedding.
"I shall have to invite Aunt
Flora" Vee-Vee announced sudden
ly, from Jerry's knees. "She would
be dreadfully hurt If I were mar
ried without her permission and
assistance.
"And Aunt Flora justly considers
herself connoisseur Of weddings
having been leading lady in four OF
them herself"
Vivian and PAIL exchanged q
rather rueful glance, but Jerry JOY
fully led the way to the telephone
making sure that Vee-vee was close
behind him by holding tight to hel
hand.

laughed, after she had given the
news to Jerry. by the way, Jerry,
where are we going? Or is that
to be kept a secret from me too?"

GURLEY LAUDS LEGION

Americanism in time Of peace, as
well as in war by Boyd Gurley, edi-

Gurley urged the Legion members
to hold themselves in readiness to
act against the stealthy, unseen
forces which tap the vitals Of Amer

vigor which they hurled themselves
against foreign foe, pointing out
that the danger to America is just
as real in the latter case.
