less) Otto Hoffman, Communist
leader Of the 1900 miners who en-
tombed themselves three weeks ago
in a desperate underground hunger
strike at PEGS, which attracted the
sympathy of workers over the en-
tire world, was brutally murdered
at police headquarters here by being
thrown from the third floor and
dashed to pieces on the ground
below.
The murder of Hoffman has
brought to light a great many new
aspects of the conduct of the ter
rible PEGS strike and of the relent-
less hatred of the nline-owners and
the fascist Hungarian Government
against the courageous strik e
leaders.
Hoffman was not the only strike
leader arrested by the police. An
electrical engineer, Horvath, and
Streger, mechanic, both veterans
of the Hungarian Soviet in 1920
with Bella Kun, as was Hoffman,
were seized and are still being tor
tured in an attempt to gain in
formation concerning the PEGS
mine strike.
From Oct. II to II, for more than
ITO hours, Hoffman, Horvath and
Streger nursed the spirit of struggle
with the miners, who starved,
thirsted and suffocated to the
point of death in pitchy darkness
at the bottom of the flooded mine
galleries. For all that troops were
called to break the strike through
a forcible rescue, in spite of the
intervention of Social-Democratic
leaders in behalf of the fascist gov
eminent and the British mine own
ers, Hoffman led them in their des-
perate attempt to wiring out of the
adamant and brutalized owners a
bare $1.50 wage increase over their
miserable two-dollar weekly wages.
Realizing that to capitulate to the
compromises of the Socialist inter-
mediaries would have meant re-
turn to the old unbearable life,
Hoffman had encouraged the en-
tombled miners to refuse every Of

s'rated their hatred of the ruling

Haywood Patterson and Clarence
Norris, two of the Scottsboro boys,
set by the Alabama Supreme Court

The mighty mass march was
headed by three of the Scottsboro

candidates in Tuesdays elections
and other veterans in the fight for
the rights of the Negro people. The
candidates of the other political
parties were conspicuous by their
absence, as in every real struggle
for the rights Of the Negro people
and the working class. While The
election platforms of those parties
are silent on the demands of the
Negro people, the Communists have
made these demands a part of the
election struggle and, in the fifth
demand of the Partys election plat
form, call for a mass fight against
jim Crowism and lynching; for
equal rights for the Negroes and

A National POUer Policy

Electricity and power are twins
of the parents Science and Industry
These twins have made tremend Jus
progress in the past half century
Great concerns have .been created
to spread the use of electricity into
every nook and corner, and power
has been turning the wheels for
civilization.
Now. the question comes up as to
whether or not private power COM
panies are to be wiped out of bust
ness, and whether electrical devel-
Opment shall pass almost entirely
into the hands of the Government.
The new Government projects in
Tennessee and elsewhere are SO
gigantic that they are threatening
to ruin the business of electric COM
panies and power producers. That
would be a great calamity.
If the new National power policy
to be worked out by the committee
appointed by President Roosevelt
solves the problems that confront
the direct clash of interests be-
tween public and private industries
the committee will accomplish a
task that at present seems impos-
sible.

LABOR
BY J. E. JONES

Washington. ID. ca summary
that satisfies is found in these
words: Labor is the foundation
stone of human progress"
The Nation has been disturbed by
many labor disturbances; but there
is comfort in statistics because they
prove that there are only one-thirC
as many strikes and lockOuts as
there were a dozen years ago.
Slavery; and the right of the en-
ployer to hire and fire" were ac-
cepted in earlier times. Slavery OK
listed for more than a thousand
years in Christian nations. Vermont
was the first of the original states
to free its slaves i'm l777. The Quak-
ers opposed slavery and abolished
it in Pennsylvania shortly after Yer
mont acted.
Labor stood alone in developing
agriculture and as our country
grew it was labor that created tho
wealth within the nation. Capital
used its accumulations gained from
labor to multiply productions and
hAoNA A4dBOG anu GdDJdl
should have remained co-partners.
About 1881 the National Labor
Union and the knights of Labor de-
manded new deap from capital.
There had been a great strike On
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and troops were called out. In 1892
the country was ablaze with ex-
citement when 5000 militiamen
were used ct the strike in the Car
negie plant at Homestead, Pennsyl-
vania. Two years later Eugene V.
Debs led a great railroad strike.
Woodrow Wilson declared that
the public interest must rank first
in Importance. This new doctrine of
the American public is now sup
porting Federal and State legisla-
tiOn and administrators who back
up such court procedure and meth
Ods for investigation and concilia-
tion as exists through the National
Labor Board.
The rule of reason indicates that
arbitration and enforced settlement
of labor disputes is practical. II fol-
lows the procedure by hich courts
and juries render decisions.
The unending March of Progress
thus brings us to our new era an
era in which the doctrine Of Wilson
is being accepted. And that means
that capital and labor must bring
their cases to court, and that we are
done with civil war and oppression
and mob rule in this country.
One of the outstanding features OF
the Roosevelt New Deal" is that
tfe fear of capital, or the challenge
Df union labor doesn't scare any

been outlawed. hours and employ

HAPPY cows MAKE
HAPPY DAIRYMEN
BY W. B. KRUECK
Formerly Prof. Animal Husbandry
Purdue University

According to a survey made by an
Iowa creamery, sixty patrons sup
plying milk sold only 46 pounds OF
milk on August 1st for each 100
pounds delivered June 1st.
The cause Of this rapid decline in
milk production as the summer ad-
/ vances is the result of combination
of factors. The prevailing opinion
is that flies are the chief cause OF
this situation. However. spraying
cows to eliminate the fly problem
has demonstrated that the fly theory
is badly over estimated. The drop
in milk production seems to be fun
damentally question of feed.
When the days become hot the
cows do not enjoy grazing in the
sun. They are found a large portion
of the day, beneath shade trees or
standing in a stream trying TO be
comfortable. The pastures in too
many cases are bare or woody and
there is nothing TO tempt the COW
to eat. Records have shown that
where the cows have been able to
obtain an abundance of feed with
out extreme efforts milk flow and
profits have been maintained
Cows that have freshened in the
spring usually show the greatest
loss when neglected during the sum-
mer. Once the COW has lost her vol
ume of milk it is impossible TO bring
her back to a good flow until an
other lactatiOn period arrives.
The summer silO can help meet
this condition where sufficient silage
is available. Forage crops that may
be cut green. when not involving too
much expensive labor can be used.
Good hay will help fill the needs and
will be relished by the cows. The
grain ration should be adjusted ac-
cording TO the pasture and forage
available. In most cases, however.
cows should have approximately the |
same amounts and the same quality
dairy ration in July. August and |
September that they have in the win
ter months. With an abundance of |
feed, plenty of good fresh water, and |
some protection from the sun, COWS
will pay for the privilege of being |
contented and happy.

opinion that much more is involved
in operating a bank than just hiring
a manager. Tradition, character and
experience which are essential to
sound management, cannot always
be hired on the spur of the mo-
ment. They are developed in an in

Sitting in Mr.. Lipman's Office and

fact that the character. ambition
and enterprise which built America
