information bulletin states:
"The application of the draft law
in the World War revealed that
nearly half of the young men in this
country were physically unfit for

passed the National Act Of 1920
authorizing the CMTC in order that
thousands of young workers and

CHICAGO, April A. - Now it must
be told. The bombing of United
States Senator Deneen's home in
Chicago on the eve of the republican
primary has opened many mouths.
Bombings in Chicago are long
and well-established section of the
frame-up industry. Used usually to
discredit trade unions they are also
increasingly useful in political fac
ton fights such as that of the Den
cen and Grove rival republican gangs
Though 62 bombings of all sorts
have occurred since last October no
lives were lost and practically no
damage beyond broken windows and
splintered porch rails was inflicted.
Nor was anyone caught. When as
sassinations are in order, shotguns
as in the recent Diamond Joe Espo
sito killing, or 1-arm machine guns
or auto kidnapings are employed and
the victim seldom escapes alive.
Not Much Choice.
Whether the Deneen Lowden

suited much about the matter. Rob

In the summer Of 1923, the young
Farmer-Labor P arty, already a
powerful political factor in the West,
was everywhere growing and spread
ing by leaps and bounds. Ever-fresh
masses of discontinued workers and
farmers were turning to it in their
quest for political party that would
give expression to their class needs,
and the slogan Independent Political
Action of the Workers" was sweep
ing everything before it.
Fitzpatrick-NOckel Betrayal.
The forces Of reaction, thoroughly
alarmed, decided to act At the June
1928, convention of the Farmer-Labor
Party held in Chicago, the movement
received its first blow through the
withdrawal of the Fitzpatrick-No ckels
gang of Chicago. The full signifi-
canoe of this act can only be grasped
when it is recalled that these were
the elements which had sponsored the
convention and issued the original
convention can.
Perhaps it was old Sammy Gompers
who pulled the strings and suggested
that his little boys in Chicago had
strayed far enough, or perhaps the
absence of the bureaucracy was the
cause Of their encouragement. Never
theless, the fact stands that conven-
ton representative of hundreds of
thousands of workers and farmers
was deserted by the very men who
had called it into being.
The next blow to the movement
came with the Cleveland Conference
for Progressive Political Act o n
&C. P. P. Al which was called to-
gether by Johnson of the Metal
Workers Union and met shortly after.
Here the bureaucracy was we'll repre-
scented. Rank and file delegates were
excluded, and the big leaders pro-
ceeded to demonstrate what they
could do--and they did nothing.
Movement Checked.
The effect of all this was to throw
a damper on the movement and to
effectually check it's growth.
The following summer saw the
great betrayal. The June 18th con-
yent!an at St Paul demonstrated that
the Farmer-Labor Party was strongly
supported by hundreds of thousands
# workers and farmers. Duncan Nc
Donald and William Bouck were nom
mated for president and Vice-Presi-

pointed out, chat three-fourths of
the married women at work outside
their homes should be forced to leave
their family responsibilities during
the years when they are most needed.
Not so long ago, the average life OF
woman in industry was about five
years. 1t is evident now, however,
from all the information we can OBJ
tain, that the swing is towards an in
creasing permanency. Women take
employment young-when they leave
school; and if they stop work to get
married it is only for short time be-
fore circumstances force them back
to their jobs again.

to show that past bombings attribu-
ted to "labor gangsters" were I'M
doubtedly of the same variety, that
is, frame-ups either by the states

quarters to discredit trade union de-
mands for higher wages and union

there was not the remotest labor con-
