Daily worker Midwest Bureau,

CHICAGO, Aug. 16. = The no.
torious congressional committee in
vestigating foreign propaganda in
the United States will open hear
ings in Chicago next week.
The committee is raising as a
smoke screen for itsc working
class activities, the excuse that it is
investigating Nazism as well as
Communism.
The ferocious anti-red campaign
being conducted in the Chicago
weeks gives good indication of
the type of evidence which will be
presented to the committee.

T1E workers throughout the country stand ready
to support the fight of the textile workers Not
alone San Francisco but also Toledo, Minneapolis
and Milwaukee have shown that the solidarity spirit
OF the workers is very high. This arises from the
fact that the workers understand the issues in
every struggle today the fight for wages the fight
against speed-up, the fight for the right to Or
ganize, the fight against the company unions are
the burning issues facing the whole working class.
This requires that from the beginning the work
ers in each community be acquainted with the is
sues of the strike and that they be drawn into
support through picketing and relief
1t is urgent that the unemployed workers be
modified the basis of the striking workers sup
developing of the Joint fight for the Workers I'm
every Central Labor Union, every T. u u L. center,
every independent union, and all workers fraternal
organizations be rallied in support of the textile
strike.
The Communist Party will do everything possible
to rally the support of the behind the strk-
ing textile workers The Communist Party calls
upon all its members in the textile industry to
get into the unions, to develop the unity of the
workers, and work with maximum energy for the
development and the winning of the strike We
call upon all left wing and revolutionary workers
III the textile industry to unite their forces for the
carrying through of the above program, which alone
can bring victory to the textile workers
We call upon all revolutionary workers organ

APPROVAL TO
BAN ON GOLD

ALBANY, N. Y, July 8. U.P) =
New York states highest tribunal,
the court of appeals, today upheld
constitutionality of congressional
resolution which abrogated the gold
clause.
The court denied the contention
of Norman G. Norman holder Of a
81 900 bond of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company, who insti-
tuted the case, that he was entitled
to payment of interest on gold
basis.
He had been paid $3.50 interest
on a coupon, but maintained that
if the payment had been made on a
gold basis, he would have received
$3.50.
He charged further that his prop
erty had been taken without just
compensation and that he had
been deprived of equal protection of
the law.
The courts decision was by three
to one, Judge John c. O'Brien dis
senting. Three other judges did not
sit.
The railroad company, which op-
posed Normans move, contended
that because congress abrogated the
gold clause in June, 1888, it was
unable to fulfill its bonded contract
and that it could pay only dollar

UNCLE wIGGILY's FIREWORKS

Robin, who had led Uncle Wiggily
to a place in the woods where grew
many puff balls, flew up into the
air and looked around. The rabbit
gentleman wanted to get some noise
makers for his bunnies' Fourth OF
July-noise makers that would be
safe. But Just as he was about to
gather them, Robin heard some one
coming.
"Who is it?' asked Wiggily, for,
| being low down on the ground near
the puff ball plants, he couldn't see
very well.
1T was the Bob Cat" said Robin,
flying back to tell his friend Mr..
Longears. But he didn't see you

THE SAME UNITED STATES

The United States of America, as such,
will be 15S years old tomorrow, having
declared itself a nation on July A, 1776.
Fourth of July gives US an opportuni-
ty to look back over the past, and he who
does so cannot help but experience
thrill of pride when he sees the progress
made from the 13 squabbling and jeal-
Gus colonies of l776, to the united nation
of today.
This Fourth of July is a splendid time
to take stock of ourselves, for we have
heard much about our government in the
past year. Men have risen in the halls
of congress and elsewhere to proclaim
that the constitution has been scrapped,
that we are being developed into a ma
tion of Fascists, or Communists, and
that there are men high in the ranks of
the government who are in secret league
with the Moscow government, receiving
advice in conducting government affairs
from that source.
We have heard reports and rumors of
all sorts. Many of us have taken them
seriously, forgetting that men, other
wise perfectly honest, become extreme
ly careless with the truth where political
matters are concerned.
Against the reports and rumors we
have the frank statement of the Presi-
q
few days ago.
He is directly responsible to the peo-
pie who put him into office and it was
to the people he spoke.
In so doing he did not dignity the wild
rumors by denying them. Instead he
asked questions Of the people and left
them to make their own answers.
He did say that the American form
of government is the same now as it al
ways has been, with the constitution as
its cornerstone. He cited the changes
being made by workmen in his executive
offices while he is on vacation as a par
allel of what is being done in govern
ment. Offices are being rearranged,
walls are being strengthened and the
building is being made better, yet it re-
mains the same building but a better
building.
The government is the same govern
ment, composed of a congress, an exc
cutive and judiciary, each functioning
as the constitution decreed they should
function. There is no dictatorship, no
swing to Fascism, Communism or "reg-
imentation.' There are no men taking
orders from Moscow.
On Fourth of July We can decide
whom we are to obelieve-disgruntled pol
iticians and manufacturers of idle gossip,
or the President of the United States,
man trained to regard the sanctity of an
oath, and who has taken one to uphold
and defend the constitution of the Unit
ed States.
He sits in the seat of Washington who
made the nation, of Lincoln who saved
it and of other illustrious men who guild
ed it through light and dark to a pre-
eminent position in world affairs.
Who is more likely to speak the truth,

porting to his fellow citizens, or the

SAN DIEGO,S CHANCE

1t is extremely interesting for resi-
dents of Imperial Valley TO read of 9TH
ers, outside this community. being con-
fronted with an All-Ameriean canal
problem.
This time it is our neighbors i'm San
Diego, whose city council has ratified a
contract between the government and
San Diego, whereby the latter will even
tually be enabled to get water sup
ply from Boulder dam via our own AL
American canal.
San Diego, under the terms of the
contract, will pay the government $780,
600 over a 80 year period, without inter-
est. In return it gets perpetual title to
100,O00OOO gallons of water per day.
The San Diego of 80 or 40 years from
how may find itself in dire need of an ad-
ditional water supply if the plan to use
the canal is not adopted.
Whether it is or not depends upon the
people, to whom the contract will be
submitted for approval at next months
election.
1t is hard to think that there will be
any real opposition to the contract, it is
so much in San Diego's favor Yet we
know that the canal project was bitter
~ opposed by few in Imperial Valley
and human nature being pretty much the
same everywhere, it is quite possible
there will be objectors to San Diego
spending a nominal sum to get untold
benefits.
We don't think the objectors will get
very far. We have said human nature is
pretty much the same, and on that basis
we can take it for granted that there are
more wise than foolish people in San Di-

FIRST STEP FOR

Security and Good Hous- ing for Every Person
 in United States

Washington. July 14.-UP)-
 The first definite step in the Roose- welt administrators specialization
 program. aimed at bringing secur- ity and good housing to every per on in America, was outlined to-
 day as a system for non- profit farm and manufacturing enter
 prises under government auspices The experiment is to be tried in Washington, D. C., and rendered
 to the country as conditions war rant.
 Other provisions of the soeializa- tion program. to be worked into legislation at the next session of
 Congress. cover unemployment in-
 surance. old age pensions and new
 opportunities for home ownership Tn it's initial stages the helr plan is for creation of government
 corporations which will take per
 sons off the local relief rolls and put them on farms and in factories Food ad goods produced in this way will go to the workers and
 others needing help. None of the materials will go into the channels of private busi- ness.
 Argument to be advanced for the plan is that it would prevent the development of an idle class con- tent to live in indolence and pow erty on government doles. It akso would cut the cost of relief ap-
 propriations. The Cuyahoga county relief com
 mittee in Ohio is expecting to start
 a self-help plan in q few weeks with F factories. Unemployed
 would be able thus to manufacture

MYSTERY IN THE
 BABY KIDNAPPING
Various The 0ries Ad= vanced for Disappear , anCe of Robbie COnnOr

Hartsdale, N. Y., July 14- (UP)-Mystery deepened today H. round the disappearance Of two year-old Robert Connor.
 With federal and local authori- ties pressing for clues to the fate of the child who vanished while at play near his home Thursday, various theories were advanced but without definite substantiation.
 1-Kidnaping. Entrance of fed erai men into the case strengthen ed belief the boy was abducted, A registered letter was received d. the Connor home. It was indicated that the letter fit in with kidnap- ing theories. However, federal men would not comment and some sources said the letter contained a pay check.
 2-Hit and run. The possibility that the child was killed by an au- tomobile was advanced when handkerchiefs, apparently blood stained, were found near the road back of the Connor house. It is lonely road where new drivers have often practices.
 3-Abduction by woman. or cials were working on one theory that the child was seized by d demented person, either q peddlcr seen in the neighborhood or a childless woman wha was attracted to the little boy.
 Charles P. Connor, 80 years old, a retired clothing merchant of Bos- ton, arrived here last night from Arlington, Mass, to remain with his son. Mrs Connor's mother, Mrs Richard Murphy, is remaining at her home in Bridgeport, where she is caring for the Connor's three other children, Claire, 9; Richard, and Joan, years old.
