|, MILLER MAKES
IMMENSE PROFITS
Competition Talk Is the
Bunk
(By a Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Co7respondent)
Mr.. Chas. Miller has been threat
ening to hire Goodyear stitchers on
piece-work basis and if they pro-
duee more than the time-work stit-
cheers he will put them on a piece
work basis or else speed them up.
He has also been hiring lasters
for the miserable low price of fifty
cents a pair. He also demands as
good a job as that for which he
pays seventy-seven cents pair.
I. Miller & Sons, Inc, have been
giving their workers wage-cut after
wage-cut, depriving them of de-
cent standard of living. The excuse
is they find it impossible to COM
pete with the cheap shoes made in
Europe. He gives promises Of steady
work with his wage-cuts. He makes
good his wage-cut promises but
falls down on the steady work.
The I. Miller Co. lies when it says
it cannot compete with the cheap
European shoes.
In 1926 the company made the
enormous profit Of $412,204.S4. In
1927 the profits went up more than
rs per cent to $520,516.09. In the
first tire months of this year, 1928,
it increased the profits to more than
100000. At this rate the profits
for this year will be $4,000. More
than double it was two years ago.
These figures are the net profits
after all expenses had been deducted
These figures are correct and can be
proven.
These profits have been made out
of US who work in his factories. 1t
is we who make these profits for
them.
Don't believe Charles Miller's lies
about his poverty and competition.
In the last three and a half years
they have made two million dollars
clean profit from our work.
|. Miller & Sons, Inc, can afford
to give everyone of his workers an
increase in pay and decent stand
ard Of living.
Organize and fight to get back
what |. Miller has stolen from us.

ton: the Independent Shoe Workers
of Greater New York.

sive slate would still have a major
ity. But for this very reason the re-
dictionaries could not accede to this
demand. They called in the sheriff
and had the ballots removed to the
bank.
It is certain that the election will
be declared void by the sub-district
and that they will take some means
to put their reactionary tools in
charge of the local.
Similar reports, though less COM
plete, come from the other sub-dis-
tricts in southern Illinois. WATSON
No. l and 2, Carrier Mills, and Old
Gary No. 10 elected the progressive
states, At the Harco local there were
two elections held and two sets of
officials elected. The bulk of the
members of this local live at Harris
burgh and they held a meeting there
and elected progressives. But the re-
dictionaries insisted on holding an
election" at Harco with the few
members who live there and claim
the election for their candidates.
Progressive Victory.
In the Staunton Sub-District No.
6 five locals have elected progress
sives. A report as yet unverified
mentions another three locals as hav-
ing carried the progressive states.
!. In Springfield the terrorism of the
reactionaries was successful. Joe
Loda and Hindmarsh, who formerly
posed as progressives, showed their
real face. They made the rounds
with a squad of gunner, threatening
and warning the miners to vote for
the machine candidates, and they now
claim complete victory. But there
is keen resentment among the miners
which will soon make itself felt.
The National Miners Convention
Arrangements Committee has re-
quested all progressives to send in
Immediately all information of the
elections in their sections, giving the
locality and number of the locals and
the names of the officers elected. All
reports should be addressed to the

Convey my best wishes to the boys
on The DAILY WORKER and tell
them I appreciate their kindness in
sending me the paper every day. Tell
them to keep up courage and keep up
the fight. A fight that is easily won

HENRY GREER STABBED
BY PAUL McGLAMERI

One of the saddest outcomes OF
the election in Watauga was the
stabbing of Mr.. Henry Greer by MIR.
Paul McGlamery, the alteration oc-
curing near the polling place in Cove
Creek township on election night.
The two men are said to have had
a quarrel some time during the day.
Later, as the story goes, Greer was
standing in the darkness near the
polling place talking with some par
ties when McGlamery approached
from the rear and stabbed him sew
eral times in the body, The wounds
were at first thought to be of ser
ious nature, but now his chances
for recovery are good. He is still al

taken soon after he was injured. Nc
Glamery made his escape and so fan
has evaded the officers.

SMITH SAYS He HAS FOUGHT
LAST FIGHT OF HIS CAREER

New York, Nov. 7.-Governor Al
Smith, Happy Warrior" of the
democratic party, said today that he
had fought his last fight.
He announced in clear unmistaka-
BILE language his determination to re-
tire from politics as soon as his CUB
ernatorial term expires.
81 certainly do not expect to run
for public office again." he said in
reply to a query as to his plans for
the future. 81 have had all | can
stand of it."
Il have given a quarter OF a CEN
tury of probably the best years Of
my life to it. ! will never lose my
interest in public affairs-that is a
sure thing but as far as running for
office again is concerned-that is fin
ished."
If Smith felt deeply his overwhel-
ming defeat at the hands OF Herbert
Hoover he concealed it at the last
conference with the newspaper boys
who had covered his spectacular cam
paign. Smith was the least gloomy
of anyone in the room and smiled
as broadly and talked as glibly in de-
feat as in victory.

SLIGHT EARTHQUAKE HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT IL O'CLOCK

The southern tip of the Appalach-

slight earth shocks Saturday night
at II o'clock. The shock was felt
in Watauga county, and a lighter
shock few minutes later was felt
in the Piedmont section of the state.
Asheville, so miles south of Mount
Mitchell, highest peak in the Appa-
lachians reported the h e V e st
shocks. They came in succession at
IL and II :05 p. m., lnterrupting
telephone communication in isolated
instances.
At Chattanooga, Tenn, on the tip
of the Blue Ridge, residents fled
from one apartment house when .
tremor was felt in the city and many
residents reported that their homes
were shocked.
No damage has been reorted from
the effects of the quake. Very few
people in this section even felt tht
tremor.

Closing tabulations of Tuesdays
election have continued to reinforce
the tremendous popular vote by
which Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis have amassed majorities in
states having 444 electoral units and
left Alfred f. Smith and Joe Il Rob-
inson leading in others having only
81.
The late returns have served only
to emphasize the immensely OF the
Republican sweep that embraced the
entire west and most of the east and
also extended into four traditionally
democratic states of the south-Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Florida and
Texas.
With less than scattered quarter
of the nations precincts remaining
uncounted, the Hoover majorities
have rolled up in 40 states. Smith
held the lead in eight others, six OF
them in the south and two in the
east, Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land. Only Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Louisiana in Dixie remained defln-
itely under the Democratic banner.
When more than three quarters OF
the popular votes had been counted
to a total exceeding 30,000,000, Hoo
yer was pulling away from Smith
with margin Of approximately five
million. By the same mandate with
which it selected a Republican ad-
ministration the electorate likewise
increased that party's majorities IN
the two houses of congress and gave
republicans a lead in most Of the 81
gubeInatoMal contests.
Following a trend established ear
ly on election night. the Hoover adj
vantage swung steadily along IN ev-
cry section of the country. 1t soon
brought from Governor Smith con
cession Of his defeat, to be followed
by his announcement that after q
quarter of a century in politics he
expected never to run for elective
office again
