Another Renegade
By J. P. Cannon.

The comter-revolution has set up new out
post in this country at Seattle Washington, Mr..
H. F. Kane is the officer in charge and he oc-
cupies the exalted position of editor of the Indu
strial Worker, western organ of the l. W. w.
Mr. Kane is too far away from Soviet Russia to
lend hand to General Wrangel But that doesn't
prevent him from doing his little bit behind the
lines, after the manner of the stay-at-home
patriot who couldn't go to war but made four
minute speeches to help it along.
The question of affiliation with the Third Inter-
national is before the membership of the l. W. w.
and Mr.. Kane's particular job, it appears, is to
see to it that the outlawed and prosecuted direct
actionists of the l. W. w. make no alliance with
the} }outlawed and prosecuted direct actionists of
the Third International The Russian Revolution,
which is the Third international in action, is the

object of his attack He warns the members OF
the |. w. w. to think twice before they make an
entanglmg alliance with working class gov
ernment which, he says, is "propped up by bayo-
nets and which has sent invading armies into
other countries For the Russian workers and
peasants to defend themselves, like the |. w. w.
men at Centralia, with weapons in their hands,
and make good with it and beat off all their op-
pressors: this is what Mr. Kane condemns
In the issue of October 3Oth, which has just
come to our notice, he propounds series Of ques-
tions for the western lumber jacks to answer be-
fore they join hands with the roughneck Boil
sheviki. This is one of them:
"Are the workers of Russia permitted to freely
travel through the interior looking for employ
ment"?
There you have it fellow-workers! If you line
up with the Third international you are in danger
of sacrificing your dearly bought privilege OF
chasing job from one place to another the en-
ployment sharks will be put out of business, and
the whole country will go to hell Of course, you
may have more time to hunt and fish, or look
around for decent homes to live in. But your own
government, "propped up by bayonets," will de-
prive you of the pleasure of searching for
master.
This is old stuff, of course We have read it
many times in capitalist papers and magazines.
John Spargo and Charles Edward Russell explain
ed it all to us long ago, and the New York Times
seldom let's day 60 by without mentioning it.
The last convention of the A. F. of L. sounded a
warning to the same effect, and Lloyd George
talks with tears in his voice about the "blood and
terror of the Bolsheviks. But we doubt if the
international bourgeosie, in their most sanguine
moments, ever counted on such help from the
press of the /. w. w.
Renegades come and go, and one more or less
makes but little difference in the final summing
up Harold Lord Varney made quite little splash,
but he has already sunk beneath the black waves
of oblivion. But there is one thing to be said for

game He didn't say industrial freedom and coun-
