jury of somebody" But Van Siclen's
opinion has great deal to do with
the impotence of labor at this mo-
ment. The ruling capitalist class is
merely enlisting all its forces in its
massed assault on the workers.
The workers are face to face with
a powerful, shrewd and ruthless
enemy. Unlike the leaders of the A.
F. of L., Big Business fully under
stands the character Of the struggle
between capital and labor. The mas
ter class knows that its local success
ses in regard to hours and wages,
can at any moment be reversed by the
workers so long as organized labor
Is not completely destroyed. In start
ing their offensive against labor,
which began with the suppression Of
the Communist Party in January,
1920, the capitalist class never had
any intentions Of stopping at its
initial successes, but was mentally
and physically prepared to push the
organizations Of the working class as
far back as it could, even to their
complete subjection and destruction
It is not unknown to Bib Business
that the struggle between capital and
labor is war. And war cannot be
won by hak measures.
Therein hes the incompetence OF

A. f. Of L. They prefer to believe
that war can be won by denying

State Department
Wants American
Prisoners Freed.
AFTERMATH OF WILSON RE.
CINE STANDS IN WAY
OF TRADE.
By PAUL HANNA
(Fed. Press Staff Correspondent

Washington. - An ultimatum to
Russia has been issued through the
newspapers by the State Department.
It is that the United States will
never recognize the Soviet govern
ment unless all American prisoners
are first set free in Russia.
Secretary Hughes does not say
that Russia will surely be recognized
after the prisoners are freed. Russia
must take her chances on that;
Americas dignified attitude is that
all the alleged spies and counter
revolutionists sent into Russia by
the Wilson administration must be
turned loose as a condition prior
to friendship" between che two
countries.
The State Department makes no
mention Of Russian citizens held in
the prisons of the United States. It
does not promise that they, also,
will be set free if Russia sets the
American prisoners free.
AS reported in the Washington
press, "The number of Americans
now prisoners in Russia is estimated
to be from 20 to So. Reports to
the State Department indicate that
the condition of these Americans is
distressing, that they have insult
ficient food, are improperly closed
and are subjected to other priva-
tions."
AS for the privations suffered by
the American prisoners, everyone in
Russia suffers from privations,
thanks to the American blockade
and other causes. The State Depart
ment has been frequently and re-
liably informed that the American
prisoners are not confined IN marrow
Icalls. sa they axs 66usad IN ozznAr'
private dwellings and frequently al
lowed to travel about the city streets
in the day time.
This newspaper ultimatum is an
other indication Of the State De-
partment's increasing nervousness
concerning Russia. Events of the
past few months have shown that
Russia can get along very well with
out American recognition. It has won
the formal de facto recognition Of
Great Britain and is right now i'm
porting a considerable quantity Of
American merchandise through the
countries with which it has con-
cluded trade treaties. Secretary
Hughes is left holding the empty

With the Communist party driven
underground, the /. w. w. leaders
in Jail, and the Socialists ousted
from the Assembly, the capitalist
class is now hammering at the A.
F. Of L. The first trenches of this
last stronghold Of labor have already
been taken; wages are being reduced
and hours heightened. Without slack
ening pace, the enemy is already
starting the last stage Of its long
offensive The objective Of this final
drive is nothing less than the break
up Of the trade unions and complete
victory for the capitalist class.
Big Business means to succeed. A
fundamental right co-existent with
the trade union movement, the right
to picket, is already in the hands
Of the executioners. Injunctions are
being freely issued to prohibit picket
ing, regarding whether violence is
used or not. In fact, two New York
State Supreme Court Judges have
just recklessly denied that the right
to picket ever existed. In the words
Of Supreme Court Justice Van Siclen
Of New York: "There Is no such
thing as legal picketiifg. II It is law
full, It Is no use to the union. The
purpose Of picketing is interference,
one way or another, to the injury Of
somebody"
Van Siclen's formula Is not based
on law, which clearly defines "peace.
full pickatingy, nor on logic. One
could juft as well say; There Is no
such thing as legal selling. II Il is
lawful Il is no use to the merchant.
The purpose Of selling is to extort
profit, one way or another, TO the in

countries from her foes. A mass Of
local "triumphs"! But victory went
to the Allies who struck the death
blow.
Contrast the timidity of labor with
the ruthlessness Of capital. During
the period of the war and of the
armistice, the working class had the
upper hand. They naturally took the
offensive. They broke through the
outer Notifications Of Big Business,
and gained more wages, less hours
and better conditions. But instead Of
proceeding onward and solidifying
these successes, their leaders called
a halt in the enemy's first trenches.
While Gompers was assuring the
workers that they had won a great
victory, the enemy reorganized its
forces, has retaken its own positions,
and is now battering at the final
stronghold Of labor.
When labor started its initial Of
fensive for better working condi-
tions, 1t should have been mentally
and physically prepared, after attain
ing its immediate objective, to ad-
vance further, even to the complete
annihilation Of capitalist rule. Then,
and only then, would victory have
been assured, with no comeback.
The capitalist, class Is employing
these tactics. The workers must do
likewise or succumb. They must rid
themselves Of their reactionary and
cowardiy leadership. They must &C.
cept leaders who have the will and
knowledge to conduct an unlimited
offensive against the master class
They must accept these men whether
they are. Bolsheviks, Communists, OF

 Blind Youth is a comedy drama in three acts, and was written by Mir. Tellegen and Willard Mack It has a record of playing at the 39th Street theatre, in New York city, for four months, and this season is mak- ing a trans-continental tour.
 "Bind Youth'' tells a story of a young artist of Franco-American birth, whose inability to distinguish between false and genuine love, all most brings him to ruin; it is reve- lation of how he is guided by inn pulse rather than reason, and his mis- taSe brings sorry consequences but from the regeneration he gains comes great and lasting happiness.
 Assisting MT. Tellegen in the cast will be found Helen Grayce, Juliette Crosby, Jean Robertson, Marcelle Ba- guer, Kathryn Howard, George De- neubourg, Jack Terry, Schuyler White and RusSel Clark.
