The Death of a "Great Man"

One of the eminences of the century lies
IN Battle Creek sanitarium, his body
wracked with catarral jaundice. His room
is decorated with flowers and "fussv.
cuddly dog" while the chandeliers and
mirrors were festooned with toy balloons.
This is not the picture of room in a
lunatlc asylum, but word-picture of the
death chamber of the late Clarence Walker
Barron, head of the Dow Jones & Co., con-
Germ, according to the managing editor of his
principal paper, the Wall Street Journal
Others of the staff of that organ of Wall
Street INDUCED in similar dithyrambics
IN describing the transcendental virtues of
their departed boss. From Washington. Cal
vim Coolidge joined in the chorus declaring
the passing of Barron "a personal loss as
valued his friendship and counsel" Evil

advice of counsel. 1t is more in the nature
of a confession than a eulogium. Certainly
the president of the United States. as is we'll
known, follows faithfully the advice of the
mighty of Wall Street. but it is not customary
to so frankly admit it. Mr.. Andrew w.

Barron was part of the ruling class of
the country; one of the most vicious labor

the working class serving the ruling class
and he approved telling the truth so long as
it did not interfere with his business.
For Barron, living or dead, we have moth

for those useful members of society, the
working class fighters who stand or perish
at their posts. One Sacco, one Vanzetti, one
Tom Mooney is worth more to us than all the
Barrons that ever lived or ever will live-and
they will be remembered longer.

Told You So

COLONEL Lindbergh has issued
v public statement to the effect
that he is for Hoover. This should
get the hip-flask vote for dry Her
bert. The boosting of young Lind
bergh by the American imperialists
was not a mere tribute to man
who performed daring feat, but
well-planned campaign to use this
popular fellow in the interests of
American imperialism. 1t is no ac-
cident that Lindbergh is supporting
the old favorite political party of
American imperialism. He is lick
ing the hand that feeds him.
THE Daily Worker was the only
labor daily published in the
English language in the United
States that exposed the true mean

Moran's Murderer Goes Free

The miners of Western Pennsylvania have
before them another example of capitalist
Justice in the freeing of the degenerate muir
derer of George Moran.
Louis Carbonia one of the gunner OF the
John l.. Lewis machine, was not only freed
by a coroners jury for the fragrant and de-
rberatelv premeditated murder of Moran,
delegate to the National Miners Union con-
yention. but the district attorney, one
Warren Burchinal, hireling of the coal and
steel interests sought to make hero OF the
murderer.
To those familiar with the combination of
employers, police, courts, gunner, and the
reactionary bureaucracy that destroyed the
United Mine Workers of America in behalf
of the Mellon scab herding interests, this
sacquittal was fully to be expected.
However. one phase of the procedure de-
serves special attention. That was the ex-
clusion of the testimony of Adam Getto, an
eyewitness to the shooting, because Getto
was intelligent, enough not to embrace re-
ligious ignorance and superstition and, under
questioning, declared he did not believe in
iany god. The miserable tool and asslnlne as
lsumption of humanity who acted as prose-
butor in the case refused to hear any further
TESTIMONY. 1t would be futile to complain
khat this. act alone is a violation of every
Txprinciple upon which the United States was
Mfonceived by its founders, and that it hanks
back to the dark ages when the test OF
mans truthfulness was measured in direct
proportion to his ignorance. Capitalist laws
ars made to be used against the working class
and to be held in contempt when their en-
forcement is detrimental to capitalism.
Adam Getto is a miner. But his opinions
are dangerous to the ruling class. One who
is a leader of group of workers and tells
them to cease gazing hopefully at the clouds
toward which the priests point and to seek
their happiness here upon earth by waging
class struggle against the master class is
dangerous man-for the COAL iron and steel
interests.
The prosecutor with the power of the
bought and paid for courts, the police and the
rest of the enemies of the working class back
of him, may refuse to listen to Getto, but the
workers, in ever increasing numbers will
listen to him and other fighters for a real
working class organization.
The freeing of the murderer of Moran,
with the benedction of the coal and iron in
terests, should spur the miners to ever more
aggressive action in building their own union,
in developing such formidable mass power
that no henchman of Mellon and Lewis, bent
upon numbering union men, will dare show
his face in any part of the mining area
Let the miners also strike at this combina-
nd 4boiy NV
utilizing this election campaign to rally thou
sands upon thousands to the standard of the
one party that fights for the elementary de-
mands of the working class, the Workers
(Communist) Party.

of the Latin
American countries. Indy will be
a still more valuable tool in the
hands of the ruling classes of this
country when the next blood de-
bauch is sprung upon the masses.
7 INDBERGH'S father was not be-
loved by the social elements who
are lionizing his son. During the
war he denounced the blood-mongers
who transmitted the bone and sinew
of the flower of Americas manhood
into dollars and cents on the CORY
battlefields of Europe. And for this
he was branded as a traitor and in
suited and maltreated on the hust-
ings of Minnesota. Young Lind
bergh saw his father rotten-egged
by the hoodlum patriots who swal-
lowed the poisonous dope of the
capitalists. Old -Lindbergh never
gathered the glory that came to his
son, but his name will be remem-
bered by the exploited masses of
Minnesota as one who stood up
against the imperialist war prof
iteers when it took CUTS to do so.
His son is brave no doubt. but
physical courage is drug on the
market. The difference between
the two Lindberghs is that while the
father fought for the masses his son
is the servant of the enemies of the
masses.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT has

New York state on the democratic
ticket and the New York World,

this nomination gives to the anti
Tammany propaganda of the repub-
licans. There is magic in the Roose-
welt name, and sure Franklin D. is
not member of Tammany! Yeah?
The only relation Mr. Roosevelt has
with Tammany is that he is a men,
Der of the democratic party which
is controlled by Tammany Hall.
That's all.
THE capitalist parties are not
bothering much about policies.
Their job is to get out the vote and
they pick their candidates accord
.ingly. Foxy Tammany picked Roose-
welt so that the anti Tammany
voter might forget Tweed, Croker
and Charlie Murphy The trick
works because there is no funda-
mental difference between the re-
publican and democratic parties. So
the New York Sun which supports
Herbert Hoover for president on the
COP. ticket is supporting Franklin
D. Roosevelt for governor of New
York State on the democratic ticket.
WHILE the big capitalist parties
" and their poor little brother, the
socialist party, are campaigning for
votes and nothing else, the Workers
(Communist) Party is making a
campaign for Communism and ac-
chewing splendid results. Already
there are thirty-two states on the
Communist ballot with the certainty
of at least three more before the
dead line on filing. This tremend-
Gus task was accomplished with
comparatively small forces. Over
one hundred thousand signatures
had to be collected. Only the en-
thusiasm that comes from convic-
ton could perform this task.
