Brazilian snake serum proved its
value at the FL Centre hospital last
night in the case of Frances Small,
aged ), of Seeley when the child
was brought to the hospital suf-
fering from a bite inflicted by q
rattlesnake. The child s right Icy
was swclled to twice its normal size
when received at the shospital but
an injection of the serum relieved
the pain and this morning the little
girl was resting comfortably and
her pulse and breathing had return
ed to normal.
The youngstcr was playing about
bare footed in the sand near her
home Yesterday afternoon. About
2:30 o'clock she complained to her
mother. that she had run white
splinter int oher foot but had re-
moved it. Nothing more was thought
CT the matter until early last eve
ming when the girl entered a Sec
ond complaint about her foot both
tring her and it was discovered that
her limb was swelling rapidly.
She was rushed to the hospital by
her father and the physician i'm
mediatelv injected the serum.
Investigation at the home re,
vealed the snake, a small rattler
which was killed.
Physicians commented upon the
success of the serum in its quick
eounteraction against the poison Of
snake bites. A quantity of the
serum is kept on hand at the FL

Water conservation.
These questions must be settled
before the legislature adiourns,

CLARIFYING POLITICAL ISSUES IN THE MINNESOTA
LABOR MOVEMENT

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July Is
In order to estimate correctly the eff
feet Of the June 18th municipal cleo
tons on the Farmer Labor movement
both locally and throughout the state,
it is necessary to review briefly what
the political situation was just prior
to the elections, the attitude of the
Labor Alderman then in office and
also the position taken by the lea
ders of the trade union movement.
We must call to mind that before
the elections of 1925 the Labor mem
bers of the Council numbered four
teen-a majority of the seats. In
that year, due principally to the in
roads already made by the Mayor
Leach machine in the trade union
movement (85 per cent Of the Bust
ness Agents and other trade union Of
ficials were in this machine) six La
Dor aldermen were defeated after a
campaign in which the left wing of
the movement fought almost alone
and without a candidate for Mayor
because a treachery of the right wing
of the trade union leadership, who,
due to their loyalty to the so-called
good" candidate and friend" of La
Dor, Mayor Leach, refused to allow
the filing of a Labor Party candidate
for the office of mayor.
In the last elections, the situation
was substantially the same, except
that the Labor Councilmen numbered
only eight, who were, with the ex-
ception Of Alderman Scott, opposed
to the filing of candidate for
Mayor, and with Alderman Hanscom
taking the lead in the fight within
the Farmer-Labor Association to
head off the endorsement of full
ticket. The Henrepin County CentBal
Committee, just prior to the primar-
les on May 9th, sponsored the calling
of delegated Conference of all work.
ing class organizations, with en-
phasis on the Trade Unions, to air
and fully discuss the question of a
full ticket. At this meeting which
was well attended, with representa-
tives from trade unions, working
mems clubs, women's auxiliaries and
liberal organizations, the right wing
labor leaders of the Leach machine
and the Labor Councilmen who had
opposed the full ticket idea within the
Farmer-Labor Association, came to-
gether on common ground in the
Conference, defeated the left wing
and prevented the endorsement of a
candidate for mayor.
It is also necessary, in order to
understand fully the confusion with
in the movement, to show the forces
involved and the reasons for the pc
culiar lineup on the important
question of full ticket:
l. The right wing trade union Of
ficialdom who are opposed in prin-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-20

ciple to the Farmer-Labor Party and
who constitute the backbone of the
Leach machine in the trade unions.
2. Part of the right wing trade
union leadership and some center
elements who are opposed to the
utilization of the trade union move
ment to the Farmer-Labor Associa-
tion, but who support the Farmer
Labor Party as individuals. Their at
titude on the question of working class
political action renders first-class sup
port to the right wing.
3. A small group of trade union
leaders who accept the Farmer-Labor
Association as the political organiza-
ton of the workers and work for the
affiliation of all local unions, but
who have been terrorized by the
drive of the A. F. of L. officialdom
on the Communists and left wing in
the labor movement, and who lack the
necessary confidence in the rank and
file to unite with the left wing and
oppose openly the destructive policy
of the right wing.
4. Outside of the trade unions, but
working in complete harmony with
the extreme right wing of the trade
union leadership is the Van Lear
machine. Van Lear, once Socialist
mayor, controls the Daily STAR" the
paper stolen from the workers and
now used to support Mayor Leach and
to attack in the most vicious manner
to the Labor Alderman and the Far
mer-Labor Association.
5. The Labor Councilmen, who
with the aforementioned exception,
opposed the endorsement of labor
candidate for Mayor, because of a
gentlemen's political agreement to
support Alderman Turner, Republi-
can Alderman from the 7th Han
scom's ward) Ward, for Mayor; and,
as Alderman Hanscom, their spokes-
man, expressed it-"not to be ham,
pered in the campaign with Labor
candidate for Mayor who would act
as drag and would defeat the La
Dor Councilmen for reelection"
6. The left wing and the Commu-
hists, whose program can be briefly
stated as follows:
(a) Affiliation to the Farmer-La-
Dor Association of all working class
organizations with particular atten-
ton to the local unions.
(b) Building, at the present time,
the Ward Clubs of the Farmer-Labor
Association.
(c) Filing in all elections of full
tickets.
(d) Regular meeting of the Hen
nepin County Central Committee.
(e) Placing of responsibility for
the conduct of election campaigns in
the hands of the regularly constituted
organs of the Farmer-Labor Asso-
eiatTnn. Continued tomorrow
