NORRIS, GROCER,
UPHELD BY COURT
Federal Judge Munger Sus-

jury Indictments.

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr, May 13-Federal
Judge T. C. Munger today sustained de-
murrers to perjury indictments against
George w Norris, former Nebraska
grocer. and Victor Seymour. former
Republican leader in the State, who
challenged the constitutional authority
of the Senate Campaign Funds Commit
tee to investigate last years Nebraska
primary election campaign.
Norris entered the Republican sena-
torial primary race as an opponent of
Senator George w. Norris in his cam
paign for reelection. The Broken Bow
grocer's name later was ruled OF the
ballot by the State Supreme Court on
the grounds his filing had not been re-
ceived in time.
The Senate committee, headed by
Senator Gerald P. Nye, held several
hearings in Nebraska in connection
with the campaign. The grocer con-
tended he entered the race of his own
volition. Later W. M. Stebbins, then
State treasurer and also candidate
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton, told the committee he gave the
B4OOCA a pOOO AADSANJ WIN oAA0 k0AA
his filing fee to get him to enter the
race and confuse voters by the similar
names.
Seymour, when questioned by Nye,
said he did not take an active part in
the campaign Stebbins testified that
he gave the bond for the grocer to
Seymour.
The Republican leader, then man
ager of the party's senatorial campaign
Office at Denver, later resigned. A
Federal grand jury indicted both the
grocer and Seymour for perjury in con-
nection with their testimony before the
Senate Investigating Committee.
Attorneys for the two men filed de-
murrers to the indictments in Federal
Court challenging the constitutional
authority of the Senate committee to
investigate primary election campaigns.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-04-14

The capitalist press, as we'll as our radio has
brought us all the way from Amritsar, India,
the tremendous news that Gandhi, the Mahatna
himself, has taken to pants.
Not yet, but soon: that is to say, when he
visits London to arrange for what he and Ram
say Macdonald hope to be the betrayal of the
Indian national revolution he will put off his
gossamer G-string and put on regular pair
Of pants.
He even intimates that he may cut off his
pigtail or what is challed "chutia" which IN
Gandhi is but sparsely represented by about
eleven hairs.
We see, in this possibility. the further pos
sibility of reciprocity agreement between
Gandhi and Jimmy Walker, mayor of New York.
Jimmy has any number Of pants. In fact over
year ago in order to demonstrate publicly his
vast sympathy for the unemployed, he took off
pair of pants and gave them to charity"
Now, since Jimmy is long on pants, and short
on pigtails which, according to Gandhs religion
are to be used to lift heir wearers out of Hell.
we suggest that Jimmy send Gandhi pair of
pants possibly with aUnovie actress thrown in;
and receive in return the pigtail OF Gandhi,
because, since Tammany is rumored to have
decided that Jimmy had better take job with
Warner Brothers, he is likely to be in hell or
a political situation.

further states that he did not come into the
fight with the understanding that decision of
a judge would stop the reorganized group from
fighting on, ETC. Beneath HoWat's statement
the press quotes the "other officials of the Dis
trict" as saying that Howats declaration is
premature" and they voice their disagreement
with it. 1t seems that Howat has been used
and now is discarded by the Peabody Coal Co.
No doubt the dissatisfied elements, such as
Howat Germer Keeny and Mooney in West
Verginia Hapgood, Brophy and other social fas-
cists under the leadership of Mr.. Music will
move out in an attempt to launch movement
outside of the UNWA. In this event we shall
have in the mining industry pure and simple
social fascism.
This is the situation created by the new de-
velopment of the UMWA.
The National Miners Union points out that
now more than ever those miners who are still
in the clutches of the UMWA must lose no time
to join in struggle under its banner in an
organized fight against the attacks Of the bosses
upon their very lives. No victory can be pcs
sible without the defeat OF the UAIWA and the
social fascists
The role of the UNTWA will now become more
open in Illinois and elsewhere as a strike break
ing organization and the agent of the boss
class. We point to the recent struggle of the
miners IN ILLINOIS Tor division or work ana
the attempts of the miners to spread the strike
against wage cut proposed by the Old Ben
Coal Co. The henchmen of the UIWA again
appeared as deputies on the picket line to
crack the heads of the miners. In the recent
strike of the Pennsylvania miners under the
leadership of the NMU, against wage cut,
the UMWA officially called meetings of the
miners and attempted to break the strike in
direct fashion, eagerly deputZing themselves and
marching with the rest of the thugs including
the notorious Pennsylvania State Cossacks to
beat the heads Of starving miners @--- - :.

is treason to the working clasS-and the L w. w,

in regard to the revolutionary movement be-
comes fit partner of these working class
enemies.
But in practice, the I w. W., through it's "Un-
employed Union" becomes worse outfit 1t is
pure hand me out" outfit. In credentials issued
over the signature of one Geo. VIM. Ojala sec
rotary of the Unemployed Union" in New York
we read the following: Introducing our repre-
sentative who is authorized to solicit work. food
clothing and shelter for the Unemployed Union
of New York Thus writes the T. w. Wand
puts itself into the class of the Salvation Army
and other charitable organizations This pro-
gram would make beggars of the unemployed
place the burden of the maintenance of the in
dividual unemployed workers on the shoulders
of well-wishing people-and leave them to starve
if the philanthropists do not contribute
The program of the Unemployed Councils of
the Trade Union Unity League is program of
struggle 1t makes the correct declaration that
unemployment is product and part of the CAPT.
talist system, and will continue as long as capt.
taliSm endures. The unemployed however must
live and the government must be compelled to
provide for them. Therefore the unemployed
must organize into Unemployed Branches, in
order to realize their demands, with the aid of
the workers in the shops who also are fighting
against the miserable conditions and pay in the
shops, Together they must fight-unemploye
and employed-in order firstly, to force unem-
ployment relief for the of unemployed; and
secondly in order that the conditions of the
workers in the shops may not be worsened. BY
demands on the city, state and federal govern
ment, by demonstrations against the utility cor
porations, by prevention of evictions and by or
gained securing of quarters to live in and pro-
vision Of food for the unemployed, the workers
will be in position to compel the government
to act in their behalf.
The method of the I. w. w. Unemployed
Union" puts it into the category of the worst
kind of panhandling begging institution. 1t
would train the workers to be good patrons of
the Salvation Army. 1t would degrade them and
lower their morale.
The workers must not fall prey to this low,
disgusting A. F. of L. and boss program. They
must organize to struggle and to demand as a
class that the municipal, state and federal gov
ernments and the bosses provide full pay for the
unemployed, who are willing to work. but are
kept idle in the streets because the factories
have closed down, because the bosses can make
no profits.
No panhandng-no begging-but militant or
ganization and struggle alone will help the work
ers in the fight against unemployment, and for
unemployment relief and the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.

THE international "reorganzed" United Mine
Workers of America, which began its career
over year ago has been swept into oblivion
by decision Of capitalist judge who declared
that Lewis is to be recognized by District u (the
Illinois District of the UNIWA) as the Interna-
tional President of the UAIWA.
The UMWA Journal declares that this is a
sweeping victory for the bona fide organization.
In recent conference held by representatives
Of both factions Fishwick recognized Lewis as
his International president.
The decision of Judge Edwards further makes
1t known that Lewis has nothing to do with the
affairs of District IL.
For the time being a truce has been reached
between the two factions. This has come about
as the result of the growing rebellion among
the miners in Illinois against the attacks on
the conditions Of the mine workers. The pro-
gram of the coal operators is getting sharper
and sharper. already one of the leading coal
corporations has proposed direct wage cut even
during the life of the contract. The prepared
