SEATTLE LABOR
HEARS FOSTER
1900 Workers Attend
Communist Meeting

Especial to the Daily Worker
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 18.-
Twelve hundred workers last night
packed the large hall of the Moose
Temple to hear William 2. Foster,
candidate for president of the United
States on the Workers (Communist)
Party ticket, present the platform
of the party of the class struggle.
Foster was given great ovation
by the workers. They cheered re-
peatedly as he brought up the diff
ferent points of the Communist
platform. Workers and active trade
unionists of the city attended the
meeting in large numbers.
The meeting of the Workers
(Communist) Party candidate for
president was about three times as
large as that which was held under
the auspices of the socialist party
when Rev. Norman Thomas spoke.
The Thomas meeting was attended
by a small group composed mostly
of middle class residents of Seattle.

The showdown came at $50 a. m.
when the first morning bell rang.
Warden Patrick Brady had an

guards went through the tiers and
aroused all prisoners.
Of 545 convicts in the west wing,
300 refused to go to the shops and
remained in their cells. The re-
mainder were allowed to march to
the dining halls as usual, and were
given breakfast. Then they were
marched to the shops.
In the east wing, 35 or 40 of the
311 men remained in their cells. In
the south wing, housing 260 men, Is
refused to work.
Those who remained in the cells
will go without food, Brady said,
pending decision by Janney on
whether the men will be allowed to
state their grievances publicly.
Brady said it is possible the mer

ficient to last several days. Water

The campaign activities of Har-

143 East 103rd Street, has procured
many new members for the ranks
Of the only working class party in
the country, according to A. Moreau,

Negro workers join the only party
which welcomes all workers.
The firm, four-square stand taken
by the Workers (Communist) Party
on the question of lynching, discrim-

bert Hoover, the republican candi-

the wage-earners of the east with
dishonest statistics and evasive

dence game on the farmers of the

prove the McNary- -Haugen bill Ir
his opening speech of his presiden-
tial campaign here tonight, Smith
said in part:
GAS l read the McNary- Hanger
bill, it's fundamental purpose is tc
establish an effective control of the
sale of exportable surplus with the
cost imposed upon the commodity

democratic platform squarel y

squarely stand. Mr.. Hoover stands
squarely opposed to this principle
by which the farmer could get the
benefit of the tariff. What remains
of the McNary- -Haugen bill is q
mere matter of method, and l dc

chanics and methods embodied ir
that bill.
"Here is a cleancut issue, which
the farmers and the voters of thi:
