Democratic leader Baker of Flint was cooperat-

the CUTS to resist all these murderous forces
Of the holy trinity of the bosses'-the state, the
A. F. of L. and the social-fascists.
In this election campaign the workers must
learn from our comrades and fellow-workers Of
Germany who voted over 100000 strong for
the Communist Platform against hunger and
boss terror. Every vote for the Republican
Democratic and Socialist parties Is vote for
the continuation of wage-cuts, speed-up and
lay-offs! Every Communist vote for the work
ers' party is vote against Murphy's fake pro-
misses and for the immediate adoption of the
Workers Social Insurance Bill.
The Auto Workers Union the only fighting
union in the auto industry that fights against
rotten conditions, against the A. F. of L. fax

mist candidates because they are the only ones
proven to be loyal in the fight for the working
class. Auto Workers! Vote Communist, Nov

Election Campaign
in Maryland
E. BENDER

THE growing distress among the workers as a
result Of the economic crisis and their readi-
ness for struggle has made the capitalist class
recognize the gravity of the present situation
In the election campaign the capitalist parties
bring forth various fake schemes for the solution
Of the crisis in order to keep the workers lulled
and away from the revolutionary struggle.
In the State of Maryland with population OF
approximately 100000 Baltimore city alone has
over 100000 people. According to the bosses
statistics, there were 15,437 unemployed in Mary
land in 1923. Since the advent of the economic
crisis last year, the number of unemployed has
grown by leaps and bounds and conservative
estimate would put the number of unemployed
today over $4,000 In Baltimore there are close
to $4,000 jobless. This number is increasing
daily through the constant lay offs in the Steel
Mills, & railroad shops, waterfront and the
influx Of thousands of farmers from the agri-
cultural parts of the state who are forced to
leave the farms and look for work in the cities
The distress Of the unemployed is so great that
even the capitalist press is forced to admit that
so to go families are being evicted weekly, and
that many workers commit suicide because they
have nothing to eat
simultaneously, wages are being cut in the
steel mills Of Charlie Schwab to the extent OF

The workers will have little trouble to find

THE situation in Massachusetts, and in the

New England economic conditions have been
bad enough but during the crisis they have
grown worse.

OF the New York City Board Of Estimate, were

But that was awkward, because it would have

was nobody there but Walker and other dicks
So the charge was changed to "disorderlv

But that was too light a crime to chalk I'D

HIGH-P0WERED
AGENT HIT IN
Arson WAVE
Over Insurance Costly to
State, Is Charge of
Fire Marshal.
HOGST0N OFFERS CURE
Licensing and Control of
Risk Statesmen Asked
at Convention.

Blaming 95 per cent of Indiana
arson fire loss on over insurance
State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogs
ton today urged state licensing and
control of fire insurance agents as
the remedy.
Addressing the thirty fourth an
nual convention of the Mutual IN
surance Companies Union of In
diana at the Claypool, Hogston as
serted:
During the last fiscal year fire
loss in Indiana was $8,026,66 If al
least 40 per cent of this loss was
the work of the incendiarist, then at
least S3,210,688 worth of property
was destroyed in our state last year
by arsonists.
Nov if 90 per cent of all arson
cases grow out of the desire to col
lect insurance, then during our
states last fiscal year there was
$2,899, 599 worth of property de-
stroyed in Indiana because the
owner either wanted to burn it or
have it burned so that he might col
lect the fire insurance.
Rich Haul for Criminals
"That Is lot Of money. Espe-
cially lot of money to be turned
over to bunch of slick criminals
for completely destroying that much
property. The Indiana public paid
the bill, or at least what was PAID
Of it. Tt wasn't all paid, for the
reason that some of these criminals
were caught and, of course, didn't
collect on their insurance policies.
Hogston then pointed out that in
surance companies do not pay fire
losses, but merely distribute the cost
and, in the last analysis, all losses
are paid by the public.
"Overinsurance is not merely an
incentive to commit the crime of
arson" he contended. eft is a di-
rect inpelling invitation to do it.
Agent at Fault
whenever any property is in
sured for more than it Is worth by
some careless agent and out OF This
comes fire loss, people as a whole
suffer. What can be done about it?
"T'he insurance companies are OPP
posed to overinsurance. All trouble
agents are opposed to it. The trouble
Is with the INSCRIPTIONS, careless
and high-pressure agents. We have
a law that no one can sell securities
without license. There is much
more reason for having license
law regulating fire insurance
agents"
The insurance convention opened
with a banquet Wednesday night
and will continue through Thurs
day.
j. j. Fitzgerald, indianapolis, and
Tom L. Wheeler, managing editor
of The Indiana Farmers Guide, are
other speakers scheduled.

deserts, whence his wealth came.
Scotty passed through here, smil-

the fortune he lost in Wall Street
paper.

Scotty started for Paris recently,
but when he arrived at Chicago he
learned he was broke. Financial
embarrassment is no new experience
for the man who found wealth in
the desert, however, he declared.
"I'm just about 81 now," he
drawled, "but when I git on the
desert again the years won't bother
me much"
