SMITH ACCEPTANCE

There is a clarity, frankneSS|
and honesty about the accept
ance speech of Governor Smith
which must commend it to the
rank and file of the American
people. It is the utterance of
man who unquestionably has
affirm grasp upon the funda-
mental principles of govern
ment. Sanity, common sense
and practicability are domin-
ant notes of this statesmanlike
message. Candor and courage
loom large. He tells where he
stands on the issues deemed
paramount without attempt at
evasion or subterfuge. Those
who may radically differ with
him on what they consider vital
questions cannot but admire
him for the candor and cour-
age with which he states his
convictions. A mere politician,
as many would have US believe
Governor Smith simply is, is
not so frank. This stamps
Smith as more than a politi-
clan. His views on public ques-
tons, too, raise him to a high
er rank.
Two outstanding questions
are to be stressed in this cam
paign, prohibition and farm re-
lief. Upon the first Governar
Smith has a definite, clear-cut
program to propose = and,
mark you, to propose, not to
enact, as that belongs to con-
gress. 1t is a liberalization of
both the Volstead act and the
Eighteenth amendment. He
favors a doctrine of states
rights, which would leave the
control of the liquor traffic to
each state. With this we do
not agree, although we are
firmly convinced that there
should be some change or mod
ifcation in the present law
which in our judgment seems
to make against rather than
for temperance.
His proposal for farm relief
is no more definite than that
proposed by his republican OPP
ponent. He admits that he has
worked out no plan, but is open
minded and will endeavor to
Substitute action for inaction
and friendliness for hostility"
While it seems that these two
are to be made the major ques-
tons of this campaign it seems
to us that his views are sound
and statesmanlike on other is
sues which vitality affect the
nation. Among these are econ
omy in government, which can
be effected by a consolidation
of the work of some of the de-
partments; river improvement
and waterways; the preserva-
ton of forests; good roads and
highways and the cutting of
red tape in caring for war vet
Grams. His desire for equal
opportunity for all classes and
his pledge to appoint persons
for their ability to render ac-
ceptable service to the public
ought to strike a responsive
chord with all who believe in
true Americanism.
We confess that we are in
strong sympathy with nearly
all that Governor Smith has
said. We believe he has high
ideals of government and that
in the event of his election he
would do his best to make his
administration memorable as a
government of the people and
by the people.

PARIS DINNER
COSTS 100000
Starving Man Collapses
in Long Island City
(By a Worker Correspondent

l~N'NN~S'NN'/
In the Evening Sun" of April
9th, appeared an article headed
"$200,0O0 Wedding Dinner Makes
Paris Gasp" This was about the
100000 wedding anniversary dinner
that one Mr.. Walter A. May, Pitts
burgh druggist, has given to sixty
four of his American friends in Paris
1t seems that Mr. May gives a similar
anniversary dinner every year anc
he Just Thought it would be fun tc
hold it in Paris this time" so he paid
the passage and all expenses of his
friends to Paris to attend this sumptu-
Gus dinner.
This is what happens in this glor-
ious country of ours, where democ-
racy reigns supreme and men are
equal-yes, equal to die, one of no.
eating, and one of over-eating. A
man squanders 100000 on a dinner
to increase the paunches of 81 of his
already over-fed friends while tens
of thousands of miners in and around
the very city where he made his mil
lions are starving.
In the same paper, on the same
page, was an article headed Starving
Man Collapses in Long Island City,
This article went on to say that Peter
Valea, 43 years old, was found in a
state of collapse on the greensboro
Bridge Plaza and was removed to a
hospital.
This, in the richest country in the
world, in country that sent thou
sands of boys across the seas to kill
and get killed in order to "save thl
world for democracy" Yes, and the
world was saved for "de-mock-racy.
1t is a mockery that in the richest
country in the world millions should
be starving while comparative few
wallow in wealth, and, just for the
"fun" of it spend 100000 for an
anniversary dinner in Paris.
How long will this state of affairs
last? 1t will last as long as this rot
ten system of ours is allowed to ex.
list. 1t is up to US, the working class
to say, at won't be long now" anC
not only say it, but see to it.
These things do not happen il
Soviet Russia, and the reason is thai
there they have Workers. and Farm
ers' government which rules in thu
interest of the workers and farmers
and not in the interest of handful
of parasites. Why should we no
emulate their example and establish
Workers and Farmers government
here? That is the only solution to tn,
problem. S. S.

MINERS WARNING
TO FEDERAL SCAB
Call Mediator" Davis
a. -Strikebreaker
(By a Worker Correspondent

>
PITTSTON, Pa, (By MaiD.-Lo-
cal Union 1903 went on strike today
when the company superintendent
Benjamin Milton, refused to accer
the credentials of the docking boss
James Lamarca, and checkweighman
Frank McGarry. The schedule wac
that the miners of Local Union 17O3
were to begin this morning at sever
o'clock. They have been out on strike
now since December 1927.
No Recognition.
Despite the fact that the company
had told the men that everyone would
be recognized and they could start
to work, despite the fact that federal
mediator Thomas Davis, of this city
said that the docking boss and the
checkweighman would be recognized
yet this morning they were not rec
ognized, so the grievance committee
headed by Charles Licata, Frank Lii
cata, and other members of the COM
mittee stood at the colliery and no
titled the miners that there was no
work and that they should stay out
Then the miners started to parade
and paraded thru the town in protest
against the actions of the coal com
pany, demanding immediate removal
of the contractors and the putting in
of their Representatives as docking
boss and checkweighman.
1t is now becoming more evident
than ever that the coal company is
using this method of trying TO under
mine the local union officialdom and
of breaking the morale of the miners
and it also is becoming more and more
clear that the policy Frank McGarry
in Local Union 1903 is pursuing is
Incorrect, because the miners see that
the company wants to fool them.
Organize Fight.
The fight against the Pennsylvania
Coal Co., the contractors and the Ri
naldo Cappelini machine must go on
bigger basis. The miners of Local
Union 1703 with the miners of the
other local union must proceed to or
ganize everybody for a fight to over
throw their officials and to call q
general strike Of all the mines So
that the company will not be able to
fool the miners like they have been
fooling them up until now. The miners
have. sacrificed lot. Alex Campbell
died that the union may live and that
the contractors shall be kicked out
together with Cappelini. The miners
must take up the slogan: "No Work
Until We Kick Out the Contractors.
The thirty day proposition. which
the Cancellation board tried to put
over on the miners must be turned
down 1000 by the miners. The con-
citation board is working 1000 with
the coal company, Rinaldo Cappelini
and the contractors. Federal media
tor Davis must be told to keep his
hands off Federal mediator Davis is
nothing but a strikebreaker. He
broke the strike last year in the silk
mills of the Empire Silk Mill Co. at
Wilkes Barre and in the Hess & Gold
smith Silk Co. of Kingston. No work
must be the cry of the miners until
we get what we went. C.

SQUEEZE NEGROES
Now Housed in Filthy
Marrow Rooms
by Worker Correspondent

CLEVELAND, (By MaiD.-Pious
John D. Rockefeller Jr. has man in
his employ who helps to put up
model tenements for him, so that
wage slaves may pay high rents for
rooms which they may occupy and as
consequence be able to do more
efficient work
Roaring Third
Mr.. Thomas is the name of this
man, and he has been called to Cleve-
land to look over the situation and
try to improve the filthy, Shiny, dis
graceful section known as the Roar
ing Third" This is the Harlem Of
Cleveland, the Negro section, into
which are crowded about 10000 col
ored workers.
AS in Harlem, the Negro workers
are exploited by white and Negro
landlords alike. For a dark, dirty
pair of rooms, they have to pay high
rents, and have not the accommoda-
lions that even the poor are supposed
to have in this day of alleged santa
ton and hygiene. Some apartments"
have no water, many have no toilets,
others have no gas. No one can
imagine that in a city that is not
overcrowded, as Cleveland is, such
shameful conditions exist.
But they exist, and Tom Fleming,
Negro politician, and member of the
City Council, may pooh-pooh condi-
tions as much as he pleases, and he
may state that he is proud of my

than a miserable exploiter of the
Negro workers, as Tom Fleming is,
both economically and politically,
would make such stupid remark, a
remark that is lie on the face of
it. But. politicians have much to
cover up, like Fall, DENLY, Coolidge,
etc.
Mr.. Thomas came to Cleveland and
at a meeting of the City Council
sketched the conditions.
Decent apartments, to replace
shacks, will be good thing for the
city, and therefore a good thing fol
the banks" To be sure, it will be
fine for the banks, for Thomas pro

Bottom of the Heap
The Negro workers are the poores
paid in the city. They are the "pool
devils at the bottom Of the heap" anC
therefore there is no use trying t
do anything for them" They are only
common laborers, earning 80 to AZ
cents an hour, and must be content
with anything.
Something, however, can be done
for somebody. "But you can help the
middle working classes, and educate
them in home ownership" Another

who are fortunate enough to be able

By JAY R. VESSELS GA. p. Sports Writer)

NEW YORK, July 25.-This tanning of the curious public to zee Gene Tunney during the clos. ing days of his training for Tom Heeney appeals to the champion s sense of humor.
 Up at his elaborate mountain camp at Speculator, N. Y, Tunney starts his daily workouts to the inevitable shouts of, Down in front-Sit down, can't see"
 Gene laughed so heartily at such an outburst the other day that he lost his beat punching the bag and had to start it all over again.
 This reaction is accepted as a good sign of the title-holder's frame of mind and also upsets re- ports that the 195-pound Green wich Village strong boy lacks ap preciation of the human side of public training.
 But the big. muscular six-foot- CT who has made culture and the classics synonymous with ths heavyweight crown as he wears it, is spared the raucous yells that frequently penetrate the ozon } around Tom Heeney's camp at Fairhaven. N. J.
 Most of Genes audiences are families of summer resorters and of farmers and villagers in the surrounding mountain country. Heeney draws most of his crowds from the not distant sophisticated and outspoken hordes of the me- tropolis.
 The majority of the spectators at SpeculatGr are too awed to crit icise publicly. Just the reverse i; true at Fairhaven.
 The crowd is just one of the things that contrast so sharply in connection with the pre-tituIar ac- tivities. There are other fac tors as different as the champion and challenger themselves.
 Training methods. for example, are alike in but few minor de- tails. Yet they are no more dif- ferent than could he expected of those surrounding training of Tun- ney, the graceful boxer, and Hee- ney, the plodding slugger.
 Up at Genes camp, where box ing predon,inates, only the spar ring partners wear head-pieces. while at Heeney's camp. where everybody, supernumeries includ- ed, go in for weighty cuffing. all emphasize the importance. of thick
