The Independent Labor Party
Is a Socialist Party

The anti-recruiting group in the Labor
Party is an organization called the "lnde-
pendent Labor Party" 1t is not trade union
organization at all. 1t is a straight Socialist
party which has affiliated itself to the Labor
Party for immediate practical political pur-
poses. The Labor Party Of Great Britain is
a peculiarly British body. 1t is built up en-
tirely out Of separate affiliated groups, each
one of which retains large measure of in
dependent liberty of action. Most of these
groups are trade unions. The general rule
is that you must get the personal backing OF
some one particular group If you want to run
for Parliament as a regular Labor Party can
didate. Your group must recommend you to
the party Mr.. Hodge, for instance, is In Par
lament to-day with the personal backing OF
the "Steel Shelters; Mr.. Duncan, with the
personal backing of the "Amalgamated Society
of Engineers" Every Labor member OF Par
lament listed in the current Labor Year
Book" was backed either by trade union or
by the Independent Labor Party.

figure in a story of distinction. In 'The
House of Fear" Wadsworth Camps
carefully constructed tale of thrills and
shivers, the neutrality-suspicious. Girl
does not command our sympathies.
Amid the flesh-and- blood characters in
Leroy SCOTS stirring Partners of the
Night" the Girl seems made of wood.
Mr.. SCOTS young woman is of the
neutrality-suspicious. type. She is the
daughter of a famous crook, sister to a
pickpocket, and lives with an uncle who
is wire Taper and gambler.
The first time she met Detective
Clifford, we read, "her eyes held stead
lily upon him in amazing hauteur and
contempt" At the second meeting "her
eyes were contemptuous." In the third
"at sight of him her eyes filled with dis
dain, hostility and quick suspicion" On
page 80 her gaze was "hard and con-
temptuous." On page 108 cher voice
and manner were superbly composed
and left him far, far away" On page
ia she spoke to him 'coldly, with
glance almost contemptuously brief"
On page POI 'the sting in her voice
brought the blood to his face" On
page 255 there was venom in the gaze
she gave Clifford" On page 200, "smil-
ing upon him in vindictive triumph" she
helped frame up Clifford as a CRATER.
But on page Sol cher lips chung tightly
to his, and her arms crept about his
neck, and she wept."
Clifford marries her. A detective is
used to taking chances.
1t is pleasant occasionally to come
upon Girl-less tale Of sound British
Sherlock Holmes construction, like 'The
Hampstead Mystery" by Arthur J. Rees
and j. R. Watson. Here we find all the
familiar properties, the murdered baro-
net of questionable habits, the bungling
Scotland Yarders, the superman private
detective who, between cases, elves
West End life of wealthy ease" This
particular detective should be profound
ly grateful to the authors of his being,
who provide no girl for him to marry in
the last chapter.
One would naturally think the writers
of mystery yarns must lead lives of
bloodshed and adventure. But many of

ment. After day or so imaginary KID
nappers began to be arrested in various
parts of the country.
A few days later reporter attached
to one of the evening yellows was sitting
in a saloon in the neighborhood idly
reading a Sunday newspaper. His eye
lighted upon a little filler describing a
harmless rural political society in
France which appended to its proclama-
tons the cabalistic sign of a black hand,
AS he read his sharp cry brought some
of his fellows to his side. Shortly after
ward they were writing to the Italian
well call him Mr.. Spaghetti-the first
Black Hand letter. 1t babe him bring
$4,000 in bills to a certain lonely street
corner at a certain time the following
evening, and his boy would be returned
to him. If he failed to appear with the
money, the boy was doomed. One OF the
scribes, artistically inclined, signed the
letter with gruesomely-drawn black
hand.
On the following evening hundreds OF
policemen and detectives were concealed
in the neighborhood of the corner.
There were also scores of camera men
and reporters, and a mob of curious per-
sons. In due time came the frightened
and puzzled Spaghetti carrying a pack
age stuffed with paper to represent bills.
He waited uneasily. Of course nothing
happened.
But the story was sensational. News
papers in Maine and Texas and on the
Pacific Coast ran columns about the
mysterious and terrible kidnapping band.
The Black Hand menace was discussed
excitedly in Russia and Australia and
China. Editorial writer's urged on the
police and ministers preached about it
and Congress considered the possibility
of some national action. Incidentally,
Spaghetti's fruitstand business in
creased to unheard-of proportions.
Other Black Hand letters limiting at
death and destruction followed the first
Every day Spaghetti received them.
The kidnappers made one rendezvous
after another, but always failed to APP
pear.
Each day poor Spaghetti became
prey to a greater terror. He hadn't
counted on such extraordinary develop

strain any longer he recalled his son.

The British Labor Party
and Middle Class Theories

In spite Of criss-crosses, however, the ST.
uation stands as have stated it. The bulk o.
the Labor Party is as patriotic as the bulk q
the general population. The section which
has remained international" in its thinking
is the section most affected by intellectuaist
middle class theories The section which has
revolted toward a vigorous "New Patriotism.
as shown in the British Workers National
League" is straight trade union.
The average British workman is just as
determined that the Germans shall be expelled
from Belgium as any member of the House Of
Lords. Yet, all the time, there are events Ike
that "peace meeting" at Cardiff, TO which mary
trade union branches sent delegates What
do they mean? / do not think they have beer
properly understood. / shall try TO explain
them in my next letter, and | shall be able to
show, believe, that they are caused, in so far
as they have any strength, not by the attitude
of labor toward the war, but by the attitude
of capital toward labor and toward the masses
of the people. 1t is capital, not labor, that !;
the real culprit.
If the attitude taken by capital gets changed
and it is already getting changed ma.
ton will be infinitely better united against
William II than it ever was against Napoleon

Some Tangled By-PafhS
Through British Politics

Now the difference between the trade union
party of the Labor Party and the Independent
Labor Party is very great. In the first place,
the trade union part has a total membership
of about 100000, while the Independent La
Dor Party has membership total Of only
about 10000.
In the second place, the trade unions are
composed entirely Of real workingmen, in the
ordinary sense of the word, while the indie
pendent Labor Party contains thousands of
middle class people. This second difference
may be put even more strongly. The control
of the trade unions is entirely working class
control; the control of the Independent Labor
Party, as leading member of it told me him
self, is largely a middle class control. The In
dependent Labor Party's most distinguished
representatives in the House of Commons are
Mr. Snowden and Mr.. Ramsay Macdonald.
These two gentlemen are also the most distin-
