The Mexican government has re-
fused to recognize the Monroe doc
trine. The San Francisco Chronicle:
organ of big business, is quite put
out about it. Editorially, this capt.
talist sheet says:
"The object of the Monroe Doc
trine is the peace and security of the
western hemisphere against Old
World aggression. 1t goes without
saying that the United States must
maintain this stand. But it must
be equally obvious that had no MOn-
roe Doctrine ever been formulated
the United States must stand in a
relation Of guardianship towards
weaker nations of the three Ameri-
cas-, and always will. =.
president Carranza will not have
it so. In season and out he shoufs
loudly that the United States should
mind it's own business. Is not that
attitude just little bit dangerous fol
Mexico? For in the last analysis
Mexican peace and prosperity anG
freedom from foreign Influence is the
business of the United States. >
Now, let us analyze this stuff
First, peace and security" from
"Old World aggression that means
peace and security for American CAPT
tai from aggression by European
capital. In other words, don't poacl
or trespass on our preserves The
Americas are private grounds for
American traders, bankers and man
ufacturers, SO you European traders
bankers and manufacturers keep out
But they don't want you to think
that hence the carefully disguised
language. What they want you to
think is that no European govern
ment must plant it's flag on the
Americas and make colonies of any OF
the American countries. Which is
just an old scheme to throw you of
the scent
Great Britain has for years had
it's flag planted in the Americas

Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine
By ARTHUR THOMSON


milan, as the tool of the French en-
peror, Napoleon III, was made en-
peror of Mexico?
M exican peace and prosperity and
freedom from foreign influence is
the business of the United States"
says this business organ. Now. we
know that capitalist editors don't
believe half they write, but does this
editor really expect others to believe
such shallow stuff as that sentence
contains? Why, that is one of the
principal things that is the matter
with Mexico now! Too much for
eign influence" there already! Amer
lean, British, French and other con-
cessionists and spectators and trad
ers have been overrunning that coun-
try for years and imposing their OBJ
noxious imperialistic ideas and
schemes on the Mexican people and
sucking the economic life out of
influence! What are the Standard
Oil, and Doheny's oil outfit and all
the other oil outfits but foreign
influence? What are Hearst and
the other big land owners but 'for-
eign influence? What are the Gug-
genheim and other mining concerns
but foreign influence?
Foreign influence! Why, that is
the main trouble! If the Mexican
people could get rid of this obnox-
ious foreign influence" these i'm
Derialistic grab-it-alls, perhaps we
would hear less noise about bandits
and the necessity of restoring law
and order
No foreign influence could go
much further, or could be more OBJ
noxious or ens,aving, than the for
eign influence of the United States
in the Central American republics at
present. Nicaragua is virtually a
dependency of the United States
American foreign influence" keeps
down the workers Of Costa Rica and
Cuba. And United States marines
'ule Haiti and Santo Domingo in the
interests Of American capital. And
if the American imperialists had their
way an army would cross the Rio
Grande to make Mexico safe for
American and British foreign influ-
ance"

Chicago, April 16.-The third
week OF the Chicago switchmen and
yardmen walkout found increasing
numbers of men turning in their res
ignations, and the complete tie-up of
railroad traffic more nearly an ac-
,complished fact. A significant
event in connection with the strike
was the action Saturday of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad in locking out
its .shopcraft employees. One of the
reasons assigned by the men for the
lockout was that they had refused
to build hunks in the roundhouses
and do other work intended to make
the existence of strike breakers
more comfortable
At the headquarters of the strik-
ing switchmen it was reported that
the Burlington road was importing
strike breakers from all parts of the
United States, in some cases from
points as far away as Casper, Wyo.,
and that they are paying them s.
an hour and working them thirteen
hours a day. Some of these strike
breakers are being housed at the
Hotel LaSalle, it was said.
The spontaneous character of the
strike was emphasized in reports re-
ceived here that switchmen are
walking out all along the Pacific
coast, and that there is an almost
complete stoppage of traffic in east
-''-' cities. particularly around New
York.

THE LYNcHERS or WESLEY EVEREST.

'lhe Central Labor Council of Everett Washington, is
raising So reward for those who will bring JUS
tce the who November 4, 1919, lynched Wesley
Everest eX-servcc The council has passed ring
ing resolutions denoucng the men who murdered Eyer
est and calling upon all labor councils to contribute funds
Tor the purpose o1 bringing the ynchers to justice.
Every good citizen opposed TO mob law. Every real
American wants impartial justice dealt out alike to the
rich and to the poor The governors Of our western
states have frequently rushed soldiers into industrial dis
trics to protect the property Of the maefacors Of great
wealth For this they should not be condemned provided
always the lives Of citizen protected but alas, such
protection has rarely been given On the contrary, SOL
entimes at the command of the pirates OF Big
shot down deenseless workmen and even women and
; children
good governor will send army, if necessary, to
protect the life Of single human being from mrderous
thugs.
The why mob law and violence have not been
checked in the west is because governors whose
duty it is to uphold the law have sometimes refused
TO rase q finger OF protest against lyncning, especially
when it is done at the nstigation of the agents of Big
Business.
1t is for this reason That endorse the movement of
the labor councils of Washington and their attempt to
bring to the bar of justice who fouly murdered
who has been brave soldier had often risked his
life Ill defense Of human liberty.
AS expression OF sentiment, we can also commend th
action of The Everett labor body As of bringing
accounting hemudercrs of Wesley Everest and the force
behind the attacks the workers Of state WASHINGTON
however, it is useless.
There is just one method by which the workers Washing
ton and elsewhere punish their prosecutors and proven
further attacks; that is by organizing submergin
all petty differences; by education and organization and b
consecrang themselves to The task of aEolislnS the wage
system and all its attendant evils.
If the wheels of industry stop every time worker FOUL

RAIL INSURGENTS

NEW YORK TIED UP,
(RV tho EQG ora tod ppocc

New York, April 1G.-With all
suburban passenger service on eight
important lines entering New York
crippled, and all freight service in
the port paralyZed since Saturday,
strike leaders were ready to predict
a complete nationwide tieup. One
of the significant developments was
the complete stoppage of ferry serv-
ice, and Of sympathetic walk-out
of 10000 men employed by the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.
At meeting Of representatives of
the 5000 strikers, local fighting
unit known as the United Railroad
Workers of America was organized.
In a statement given to the labor
press it was announced that the
union had been formed for the bet
terment Of the railroad mems condi-
tions, and that it is purely a local
affairs. Officers were elected, and
demands drawn up to be presented
to the proper officials.
I'VE want it distinctly understood
that we still belong to our own To-
Gals. If the old organizations do
not uphold us in this strike we in
tend to continue under new name
ard organization" said the state
ment
The strikers are avoiding giving
prominence to any leaders and are
trying to keep the strike a rank and
file movement.
The Marine Workers Affiliation
is working in complete harmony
with the new organization and will
endeayor to have all branches of the
railroad and transport industry rep
resented at general settlement
An entirely new strike technique
is being developed, by which instead
of general walk-out, there is
gradual melting away of the workers
from the various systems. The
strike word is being passed by word
of mouth, organizers paying their
fare and boarding trains, where they
speak to the crews. When these
trains arrive at their destinations,
the crews quietly walk out.
Milk trains have been spared by
the strikers. Otherwise the impor-
tation of food into the city is at a
standstill. Prices have jumped con-
spicuously as a result This was
branded as unwarranted by William
MinIar. president Of the Washing
ton Market Merchants association
who declares that New York has Il
six months supply OF food in stor-
age.
Samuel Gompers, president of tho
American Federation Of Labor, when
accosted by reporter as he was
passing through the Grand Central
station on his way to Cleveland, de-
clared that the strike Of the railway
men, and the Kansas strikes were
due to resentment at the laws
passed to enslave men," He refused
to state what steps the A. r. of l..
would take to bring the insurgent
men back into line.

earnestly discussed plans for COM

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Decision
tomorrow by the Supreme Court Of :he
United States of the prohibition cases
which have been pending since March
was confidently expected tonight by
both wet and dry advocates. Unless
the court determines the question to-
morrow, the cases will have to go over
until October, as no further decisions
will be handed down until the fall term
At the time the prohibition law was
attacked in the high court haste was
urged upon the lawyers to complete
their presentation Of arguments. From
this, wet sympathizers conclude that
the ceurt desired to conclude the cases
before the spring recess. Dry leaders
base their opinion that the cases will
be aA3udtsated Tomorrow on the fact
that more than twu months have been
available for consideration Of the ar
auments In the litigation.
There was speculation tonight on
the i&eet decision would have on the
national political conventions. While
the drys are for the most part conf
dent that the high tribunal will sustain
the eonstitutionality Of the legislation,
uneasiness was apparent among some
as to the effect contrary ruling might
have upon the chances of having dry

It was held by some Of tho prohibi.

courts in specific cases and not by
legislative action.

strongly appealed to when the arEu-

define intoxication.

was required to be "intoxicating.' >
This percentage was fixed hv Treasury
officials years ago In Determining il
beverages were alcoholic for purpose
of taxation.
Anti-prohihitionists also leak for the
the Eighteenth Amendments provision
for the states 70 have concurrent power
to enforce it. They believe the Su.
preme Court will uphold the principle
of states rights. This would make II
possible for New York, New Jersey
Rhode Island and other. states to legis-
late on the question Of the amount Of
alcohol that a beverage may contain.
