Chicago to be with Mrs. McCor-
mick while the Illinois primary was

that Ruth Hanna Mccormick is
s'out in front" in her contest for
the Republican nomination for
Congressman-at.large. From pres.
emf indications Representative
Henry Riggs Rathbone is second in
the three.cornered race with Repre-
sentative Richard Yates good
third. Two candidates only will
figure in the election, so 1t would
seouo that Washington is likely to
lose Representative and MrA
Yates.
The friendship between Mrs.
Longworth and Mrs. Mccormick
dates from childhood, and their
fathers, Theodore Roosevelt and
Mark Hanna, were friends and po-
Iitical associates for years. Mrs.
Mccormick, who is generally re-
garded as the canniest Of the wom-
en- in the field Of national politics,
comes naturally by her gifts and
was trained for political work by
her distinguished father. She was
also of great assistance to her hus-
band, the late Senator Medill Nc
Cormick, in his career.
Her daughter, Miss Katrina Nc
Cormick. accompanied Mrs. Long.
worth to Chicago.

GENERAL MANAGER AC-, CEPTS INVITATION

As the result of the prompt: response of General Manager o. F. ohlson of the Alaska Railroad to the invitation of the Seward Chamber of Commerce to join: them at luncheon Saturday, every business man of the city: is expected to turn out at noon on that day to meet and dine: the new railroad official. The Chamber had wired Mr.: 0hlson on the s. s. AIeutian at: Cordoya, extending greetings and feIicitations and asking him to break bread with the citizens of: the Gateway City. He shot back the following reply to Leon Ur- bach, president of the local or ganization, saying: Appreciate greetings extended by the Seward Chamber of Com. merce and glad to accept invita-; tion to luncheon in Seward on Saturday. o. F. Ohlson."
 The luncheon will be held in the banquet hall of the Seward Grill promptly at 12 o'clock. and a special committee consisting o:s Leon Urbach, Capt. Q. A. Johan- sen, Harry s. Balderston and Wi .. Lrwi wit; look after the sr arrangements.

As the Gateway goes to press, plans are being speeded up by the reception committee of the Chamber of Commerce for the greeting of the distinguished railroad man who takes over the reins of direction as general manager of Alaska's premier indus trial accomplishment. This committee consisting of Leon UIbach, president <f the chamber; Captain o. A. Johan- sen, H. s. Balderston and w. C Erwin had already received acctp tance of Stewards invitation to lunch con Set for omorrow noon. Since TO further word has been received from him indicating any change ia this program, it is of course pre- sumed that he will remain more cr less as the guest of the city until tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning. As his time here will doubtless be taken up with the inspection of the railroad plant in the terminus city no plans car be laid out for his formal entertain ment, which will probably be confin ed to the luncheon set for tomorrow
 Seward citizens are anixous to greet the new executive because cf his past accomplishments as an able railroad man, who has already ex- pressed himself as desirous of doing all in his power to promote the in terests of the Territory of Alaska through the utmost cooperation of the railroad Since the railroad means so much in the life and grow lh of this city, it is only natural that people here are looking eagerly for WdFQ to Se0lnS What HduueI u 1ndn it is who so largely holds their des tinies in his hands. In measure this can be visualized by his past re- cord.

Shoe Workers Must Organize

One of the principal industries of Greater
New York and vicinity is the shoe industry.
Tor the most part unorganized Despite the
TACT that the shoemakers were among the
very first trade unionists in the United
States, there is today but slight organiza-
ton OF this Industry anywhere in the country.
The Boot and Shoe Workers Union, af
flllated with the American Federation of
LABOR, Is one of the most notorious strike
breaking agencies in the country. Instead
OF trying to organize workers they organize
employers against the workers.
The Shoe Workers Protective Union has
sunk into the swamp of class collaboration
and is close rival of the Boot and Shoe.
The shoe workers of Greater New York, par
t1cularly the tens of thousands who work in
Brooklyn shops, are today the abject slaves
OF the Shoe manufacturers, a most loath-
some gang OF petty swindlers. practice is
IN vogue OF selling jobs to men under the
gulse OF taking them into partnership This
is only method of reducing wages by taking
a certain part of the earnings of the men
each week as investments" in the concern.
Since the betrayals of the Fitzgerald Nolan
machine of the Shoe Workers Protective
Union, conditions have gone from bad to
worse, until there is a demand for a new deal
on the part of thousands of the rank and
file In response to this demand new
union, the Independent Shoe Workers Union
of Greater New York, has been launched, I'm
der leadership that has been tested in the
long struggles in that industry This union
is unincumbered with treacherous officials;
the workers can act as they see fit in an en-
deavor to improve their conditions.
Every shoe worker should attend the
mass meeting at Lorraine Hall, 100 Broad
way, Brooklyn, tomorrow night and aid in
the drive to organize the slave-pens of that
industry.

Against the Capitalists!

openly lined up with the party of the Hammer
and Sickle gives further encouragement for
the most active propaganda among the needle
workers for the support of the election ticket
of the Workers (Communist) Party and for
the party membership campaign.
These great possibilities put greater re-
sponsibllties upon every Communist and
every class-conscious needle worker. The
Communist election campaign among the
needle workers must be turned into mass
movement. The Communist campaign must
be discussed in every shop, resolutions must
be adopted, and collections made for the cam
paign fund of the Workers (Communist)
Party. Every class conscious needle worker
must become campaigner for the Workers
Party ticket, for Foster, Gitlow, for Gold.
Zimmerman, Lipzin, Leibovitz and other can
didates.
The past few years experience have not
been in vain The needle workers have
drawn their conclusions from the lessons
they received in the last struggles. The
treatment they received at the hands of the
capitalist judges, Tammany police and So
ciallst traitors in alliance with the bosses
cannot be forgotten. The Party of the Ham
mer and Sickle is the only Party the needle
workers can support, the shop delegates
correctly state in their call to all needle
workers
The Hammer and Sickle will be the guide
for the needle workers in the coming election
campaign
