BGruch Reveals Fraud
In NO Profit Slogan;
Gag on Charged
Arms Committee Offers
Full Aid to War
Department

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. - The
swift move Of Roosevelt In calling
war commission to draft plans
for military and industrial mobili-
zation ito take the profits out Of
war" emerged today as drastic
move to freeze wages of all workers
running the war industries, in an
anti-union drive and long step
toward setting the country's entire
economy on war footing.
At the same time the alleged
move against war was shown to be
a deliberate move on Roosevelt's
part to block the imminent expo
sures Of sensational connections be-
tween the War Department and the
munitions manufacturers in the sale
of war materials.
At the same time, It was made
clear that the Senate committee in
vestigating the tie-up of the NUM-
tions monopolies and the govern
ment, would not expose the real
situation by which the Wall Street
war makers dominate the govern
ment.
This pledge was given by SEN
ator Clark, one of the members of
the Nye munitions committee, who,
yesterday, while denouncing the
Roosevelt efforts to spike the in
vestigation, stated, Naturally we
don't want to expose anything that
will embarrass our national defense
plans" adding as an afterthought,
'but we are the sole judges of what
we will do"
Senator Nye, whose activities in
the munitions investigating COM
mittee of the Senate did not pre-
vent him from declaring for "an
adequate defense" today openly
charged Roosevelt with having acted
on the wishes of the War Depart
ment in spiking any further reve-
lations on munitions manufacturers.
Tt is an open secret here that
Roosevelt and the War Department
have been receiving private visits
from leading representatives of the
duPonts and other war corporations.
The sudden move by Roosevelt is
attributed to these visits.
Slogan Fraud Exposed
Particular significance was at
tached to Roosevelts appointment
of General Macarthur, chief of
staff, as one of the committee to
take the profits out of war" as
MacArthur's name has appeared
prominently in the munitions ex-
posures as salesman of American
munitions In European countries.
Macarthur is also the leading
spokesman for the War Depart
ments' preparedness program.
The fraud of Roosevelts slogan
was quickly admitted by Roosevelt's
spokesman on the new commission,
Bernard Baruch, multi millionaire
Wall Street speculator, who stated
today, that he did not believe it
possible to take the profits out of
war. The real meaning of Roose-
velt's order he revealed as follows:

Senator Nye, no enemy of war preparations

smoke screen set up by Roosevelt. Might well
use Dillinger, a gangster and robber, to fight
crime, as bring in Baruch or General johnson
in effort to delude the into believing that
the main point in the present war preparations is
to take the profit out of war, intimated Senator
Nye. Baruch and johnson were the chief office

IN S TRIKE
Especial to tn. D.iIy worker

DETROIT, Dec. 13.-The strike of
the unemployed single men at
Fisher Lodge, Municipal Flop house,
won an important partial victory
when the County Welfare Commits
sion yesterday appropriated funds
to provide work relief for one thou
sand men ten hours a week at fifty
cents an hour. This is the highest
relief for single men in the entire
state.
This victory is expected to act
asst as a spur to the countrywide
mass march next Tuesday to the
Office of the County welfare Com
mission, 176 East jefferson Avenue,
to protest against the recent 10 to
80 per cent cuts in relief. Tens of
thousands of leaflets and stickers
are being distributed for the march,
which is being organized by the De-
troit Conference for Unemployment
Relief and Insurance, representing
thirty EIGHT trade unions, ten un-
employed organizations and forty
six other workers groups. The
marchers will assemble at 2 p. m.
in Times Square.
A meeting of Fisher Lodge strik-
ers at Ferry Hall last night en-
Enthusiastically hailed this victory
and endorsed the recommendation
of the strike committee to accept
the Welfare Commissions proposal
and at the same time continue the
struggle. Speakers at the meeting
were Nelson, Negro chairman of the
strike committee, and Earl Reno Of
the Unemployment Councils.
The meeting also voted to con-
tinue picketing the Welfare Com

800 Jobless
Miners Seize
Courtroom

McALESTER, Okla, Dec. 49,
Eight hundred unemployed miners
took seats in the district court room
here today after march from
nearby towns, and announced that
they were staying until they were
all given jobs and immediate is
suance of $5 grocery orders.
The jobless miners had come
from surrounding towns. First they
assembled at Hartshorne for hun
ger march to set forth their re-
lief demands to the relief author
tiles.
Many of the miners stated that
they had not worked for two years
and more. Relief in Oklahoma, has
varied from 81 to 50 week for en-
tire families. County F. E. R. A.
officials at Pittsburgh, Okla, stated
that the miners demands could not
be met under the present relief pro-
gram.

Baruch of War Council
Made Millions in
World Conflict

Dominating the committee set up
by President Roosevelt to draft bills
for industrial and military mobili-
zation in time of war is Bernard
M. Baruch, prominent Wall Street
speculator and chairman of the War
Industries Board which distributed
the swag to the monopolists in the
last imperialist conflagration.
Ever since the termination OF the
last war, Baruch, with the active
assistance of the War Department,
has been the direct instrument Of
the banks and monopolies in lay
ing plans for the next war in which
they propose to conscript both Ia
Dor and soldiers. All the elaborate
plans of the military staff for in
dustrial mobilization we're worked
out under Baruch's direction.
He is an old hand at making mil
lions out Of the deaths of millions
of workers. During the last war
he became a super millionaire, util-
izing his government sources of in
formation to roll up millions for
himself and hundreds OF millions
for the Morgans and the Guggen-
helms whom he served so we'll.
Huge Fortunes Made
Even before war was declared he
used his position on the Council
Of National Defense to enrich him
self. 1t was brought out in Con-
gress In 1917 that due to govern
ment leaks, men who a year ago
did not have, $4,000, now as result
Of playing the market have from
$50,oOo,0O0 to $60,000,0oo."
Later Representative Bennett of
New York charged that Baruch
cleaned up in 1916 by selling $4,000
shares Of U. S. Steel short, on the
basis Of inside information concern
ing message by President Wilson.
He was the liaison agent between
Wall Street and Wilson during the
war and rolled up hundreds of mil
lions for J. p Morgan. 1t was
brought out in Congress after the
war that Baruch had participated
in copper steal that netted the
copper trust $20O,O00,00o. Congress-
man Mason said on May 81, 1920,
that Il am willing to have your
attorney bring suit against Barney
Bsruch. the chief man. the closest
man of the President of the United
States, who stole $50,00o,oOO In cop
per-"
When challenged by Baruch to
retract his statement, Mason was
quoted in the New York Times Of
June 8, 1920, that "since looking at
(Baruch's present statement,
would amend mine to say that Chez
and his associates stole 100000 900
in copper alone"
Just as the war was about to
end, Baruch, with his inside tips,
took another flyer in steel that
netted him the comparatively small
sum of $476,000.
Since that time he has been or

STATE BEARS LEAD

North Carolina, as a state, is doing pretty much
everything now for the counties of the common
wealth in the way of furnishing and paying for
essential public services except taking over their
debts. s.Z l.,
1t may get around to this some of these days
and have its own broad back broken in such an
act of accommodation.
The state is operating and maintaining the
schools at no expense to the counties as political
units ,~s
II has also taken over to build. to repair and to
maintain the some $4,000 miles of highways rum

And no property tax is being imposed to carry
on this stupendous burden of state services.

can make them learn their les

the school work, while an incap-
able teacher can not get any

It is actual economy to employ
good teachers at double the pay

Of the beneficial effect on the
pupils.
Our public school system is
commonly impracticable. The
grammar school should have eight
grades-and in those grades chill
dren should be taught the things
they are going to need to know
in the everyday affairs Of this
life. And they should not be
given so many studies that they
can not master them. To read
one book and know it is far bet
ter than to read a thousand
books and not know them.
The present day practise OF
leading the child down with les
sons that often make him labor
until midnight is a deadly princi-
pie.
Eight grades Of proper gram
mar schooling would furnish all
the academic knowledge that the
pupil needs OF will take. The free
high school as now administered
represents an enormous waste of
the pupils time and the taXpay-
er's money.
There should be more vocation
al training and less academic in
struction in high schools. When
the pupil leaves the public high
school, he should have been fit
ted to take a practical place in
life. The present-day high school
graduate is usually fitted to do
nothing in particular except to
go to college. And how many go
to college? And how many
should go to college?
After all, the easiest way for a
