Settle Election
with Dice, SIP.
Nominee Urges

GIRARD, Kan, Oct. 12.-"Why
let the stupid workers vote? Let's
settle il by shooting craps"
This seems to be the latest
wrinkle in the election platform of
the so-called Socialist Party. None
other than its candidate for the
U. S. Senate, E. Haldeman-J Julius,
millionaire publisher, has made this
proposal to the candidates of the
republican and democratic parties
in statement just issued.
Haldeman-Julius is the racketeer
and swindler who stole the accept
ance speech of William u. Foster,
Communist candidate for president,
and printed it in distorted from as
his own in his magazine, 1.-THE Am
erican Freeman" in an effort to
lure working class votes. In his
crap shooting proposal, which is in
line with the corrupt traditions of
the Socialist Party, he calls the
workers stupid" and declares: "By
this economical and sensible throw
of the dice the nitwit voters stand
chance of getting a real state
man like myself in Washington"

NEW YORK, Of the Am

Socialists OK
Says Leader of
Khaki Shirts

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 12-Lead-
ers of the Khaki Shirts, an organiza-
ton Of veterans with marked fascist
tendencies, revealed at meeting at
their headquarters at 95 Morgan st.
that although they were bitterly op-
posed to the Communist Party. they
were not against the socialists. A
worker reported this to the Daily
Worker today.
They're all right. We don't op-
pose them. If they put up men
who are not too radical we'll sup
port Them" said a leader of the
Khaki Shirts VIII Questioned about
their stand in regard to the social
lists.
Then he pointed to the Khaki
Shirt emblem ian eclipse in which the
dark covers the red).
"The Khaki Shirts are against the
Communists" he said. We'll fight
the red menace because the Commu-
nIsts are trying to destroy the tradi-
tons of our forefathers."
A worker asked tn . Khaki Shirt of
fetal why it was that on the leaflet
issued by the organization it was
stated that the Khaki Shirts was
neither a Communist or socialist Or
ganization and yet he claimed that
he was not aaginst the socialists.
THAT was mistake of the print
err" replied the Khaki Shirt head.
Let me tell you something. The So
cialiSts are all right with US"
This episode in the Khaki Shirt
headquarters serves to show how the
enemies of the bonus are aligning
themselves together on one front. The
socialists, through their spokesman,
Haywood Broun and Norman Thomas,
have continually declared themselves
against the struggle for the veterans
back wages. Haywood Broun has de-
clared that the Workers EX-Service-
mems League in fighting for the vet
Grams back wages is aiding the devel-
opment of a fascist movement in
America.
The Communist Party in, sup
porting and leading the veterans in
the fight for the bonus is bending all
efforts to help the National Veterans
Rank and File Committee build a
solid united front Of the rank and
file veterans from all organizations,
the Khaki Shirts included, to march
to washington Dec. to demand the
bonus and an increase in disability
relief.
1t is with the leaders of fascism
that the socialists form united front.
Communists form the united front
with the rank and file of the OPP
pressed. This is where the difference
lies.

| TAYLORVILLE, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-Two
| thousand striking miners, celebrat-
| ing Virden Day here were rounded
| up by 300 militia armed with all the
weapons Of war, and driven into the
court house square for investigation
and probably for herding out of the
| county.
The militia, commanded by Cap
tain G. j. Meacham, are under in
structions from Charles Weineke of
Christian County to smash the Vir-
| den Day Parade today.
The militia, however, did not ar

militia smashed the picket line with

erS demonstrating before the house

Party leader, has sent these national

mines.
Phone Wires Cut
Telephone wires into Taylorville are
cut. But it is known that thousands
more miners are gathered in towns
all around, holding Virden Memorial
meetings for Frank Bilyen, the Tay-
lorville miner murdered in the bat
tie of Virden.
Not satisfied with attacking picket
lines in Christian County, Governor
Emmerson's militia now are trying to
smash one of the most famous mill
tant traditions of these miners. That
is the yearly celebration of Virden
Day, on Oct. II.
On this day in 1895, trainload of
scabs coming to Virden, Ill, mines,
was met by the miners and driven
back in a sharp rifle and machine
gun battle with the company's armed
guards on the train. From that day
to the battle of Herrin, in 1922, there
were no scabs in an Illinois mine
strike. Five miners lost their lives
in the battle of Virden, and an un-
known number of scab herders were
killed.
Form Committees
Such traditions of mass struggle
the operators fear, now when they
have the leaders of the Progressive
Miners of America agreeing to the
S. wage cut. The miners who re-
member and honor Virden Day, are
urged by the rank and file opposi-
ton and the National Miners Union
not to surrender to the wage cut, but
to form their own committees to lead
the strike in each locality, and by
mass picketing and mass marching
bring all mines on strike and defeat
the cut.

is not being abandoned by him in
favor of the "share work" PROPOSE
ton which is nothing more than a
scheme TO reduce all workers, unem-
ployed and employed, to a general
starvation level.
This mass meeting OF the New York

Unemployment Insurance is one Of
the series Of such meetings now being

Buick presents for 1882 new series
of eights in 26 models in four series
on four different wheel bases. Buick
features wizard control" which COM
bines an automatic clutch, free wheel
ing and silent synchro mesh transmits
sion, Standard equipment includes a
ride regulator, by which the shock ao-
sorbers may be adjusted for road sur
faces of varying degrees OF 'bumplneSS,
and for varying loads. Buick also
offers varying degrees of high compres-
sion in the eight-cylinder engines. 1nlS
change in degree is done simply by
changing the cylinder head gaSKet ana

The automatic clutch feature OF WIZ
ard control" operates by vacuum from
the intake manifold, while the vacuum
is operated by floor button just below
the clutch pedal. Gear shifting re-
uuires only a slight pressure OF the loot
on this button instead of depressing the
clutch pedal. The clutch automatically
engages when the foot is lifted. The
instruments have been grouped at the
left of the panel for greater visibility
the steering gear is adjustable, as IS the
front seat, while an interior sunShadt

CHEVROLET

Chevrolet offers y regular and de
luxe models in the new cars, first
shown early in December. New features
for Chevrolet, such as free wheeling
combined with synchro-meSh transmits
sion, doWn-draft carburetion smaller
wheels and larger tires, countcr-bal-
anced crankshaft, coWl ventilator, ad-
Unstable front seats in closed cars an
improved clutch and other bettermentS,
mark the 1882 line of cars.
The new Chevrolet is faster and more
powerful than its predecessors and is
said to have a top speed Of 65 to 70
miles an hour. with a 20 per cent in
crease in power. The engine. of six
cylinders, delivers 60 horsepower.
The front of the car has materially
changed in appearance. The tenders,
radiator and headlamps are carried il
the new Chevrolet on a single fender
support unit anchored to the center of
the front frame cross member. This con-
Struction is said to enable the front end
to work with the body as unit, elimi-
mating weaving" and other body noises.
A larger core for better cooling has
been built into the radiator, which also
has an inbuilt grill. COWl ventilators,
controlled by a regulator in the driving
compartment. are used. WlndSheldS OF
all models are slanted at a sharper
angle, and bodies have been streamllned
to reduce wind resistance. In place OF
an outside sun visor, an adjustable Wis
or has been built inside the car. The
springs have been improved on all
models to make for easier riding.
Quicker acceleration and the increase
| in power are aided by improvements in
valve timing and in the compression
ratio. To the fuel pump has been added
an air dome for constant fuel feed,
PARTICULARLY at high speed, and the air
cleaner has what is now the conven-
tional hiss" Silencer.
