Proven Loyalty Of

Augurs Well For 1924

can be attributed to two main causes
First-The revival in business. Sec
ond-The knowledge these former
members had acquired as to the
benefits of trade unionism, hence their
resumption of membership.
This latter cause of the improved
outlook for our movement is some
thing the employers could not take
away from the workers even though
they did separate them from their
jobs.
Another hopeful sign of the times
is the ever increasing knowledge our
members are acquiring as to the
power they can WELD in the economic
field. 1t is typifed by the country

Washington, d. C.-Condemning
in the most vigorous terms the soviet
approach for negotiations with the
government of the United States and
declaring American labor's hostility
to the move, President Samuel Com
pers has again stated labor's position
as being one of unqualified opposition
to any relations with what he terms
the soviet terrorism. He made clear
his belief that any compromise with
the soviets is victory for them and
he likened their efforts to involve
democratic governments in negotia-
tions as similar to the customary pol
icies of outlaws and brigands.
'ln view of the unwarranted diver
sity of opinion in our own country
concerning President Coolidge's ref
erence to Soviet Russia" said Mr.
Gompers, "and in view of the declara-
tions of friendship for the soviet
autocracy, expressed by certain SEN
ators and representatives otherwise
progressive, it is imperative that
American labor make unmistakably
clear its condemnation of the extra
ordinary and audacious proposal of
the Tchicherin note that free America
enter into negotiations with the soviet
terrorism.
"In his message TO congress Pres
ident Coolidge used the following clear
and unmistakable language:
Whenever the active spirit of en-
nifty to our institutions is abated;
whenever there appear works meet for
repentance; our country ought to be
the first to go to the economic and
moral rescue of Russia.
"This policy does not differ hairs
breadth from that of President Will
son or President Harding-except that
it is even more strongly and clearly
expressed.
Senator Borah, the leading advo-
cate of the soviet cause in this coun-
try, Immediately professed to see in
the Coolidge message for the first
time an opportunity by which the so
viets might achieve their long-sought
goal of relations with the United
States. Immediately following Sena-
tor Borah's well-timed suggestion
Commissar Tchicherin addressed his
note to President Coolidge asking for
negotiations based on mutual non
intervention and mutual trust
Senator Borah and Bolshevist Tchi-
cherin both understand perfectly that
any compromise with the soviet ter
rorism is a victory for the soviets.

Happy New Year; Forge Ahead

of the great farming population this
will be accomplished.
On the industrial field the organ
ization of the wage earners is always
our first and primary task Our con
vention has ordered number of spe-
cial organizing campaigns and these
are either under way or are being
planned 1t is my hope that during
the year our movement may add
million new members to its rolls.
This is easily possible.
Protection and promotion of their
rights and interests and proper par
ticipation of the workers in the
affairs of industry, makes organiza-
ton necessary. The proper conduct
of industry, the proper safeguarding
of the rights and interests of the toll
ers, the proper and necessary stabil-
izing of industry, make organization
of first importance to labor and to
employers as we'll.
We live in an age of collective
effort. Nowhere does the Individual
live and work in world of his own.
Working together, to function prop
erly in every direction, to make life
better and to make industry better.
Every wage Garner ought to join the
trade union of his trade or calling,
and every trade union member ought
to be an organizer.
The year 1924 will bring its re-
wards, but it also will bring its obi
cations and duties.
Let us all, as trade unionists, do our
utmost to make our movement a
credit and a constructive force in So
ciety If we are good trade unionists,
we shall be good citizens of our re-
public, and America will be the better
for our efforts

Opposition Of Workers
TO Soviet Recognition
Unqualified, Says Gompers

Outlaws and brigands commonly act
upon that principle. They also under
stand that on fundamentals the So
viets cannot mpromise-unless with
the deliberate intention of violating
their agreement The world has had
enough of scraps of paper
"The soviet exists to wage war on
American institutions and principles ;
It's constitution, its official publica-
tions, the speeches of its chief orf-
cials are shot through with this pri-
mary intention. Aside from the
shoals of secret agents and the gold
1t has sent to overthrow our govern
ment and our social order, the very
existence of such an enemy regime
known to every revolutionist-give
stimulation and encouragement to
every subversive element in this coun-
try The fact that TIE soviets must
appeal in this country mainly to the
ignorant, to the perverted element of
our intelligenzia or to newcomers un-
familiar with our institutions and
American principles is beside the
point. There is no danger whatever
of soviet revolution in this country.
That is utterly irrelevant. America
cannot willingly permit the loyalty of
part of it's citizenship to be delib-
erately weakened or destroyed by
pretended friendly power

The year 1924 brings great tasks
to the trade unionists of America.
The year just closed has placed our
movement in a position of strength
and solidarity that fits it for the tasks
that lie ahead.

covered from the period of depression
and the fight of the so-called open

came to an end 1t lost its driving
power
Ahead of US in the immediate future
is a national political campaign.
Ahead Of US also is a great general
campaign of organization, reaching
into every field of activity.
The enemies of our movement say
that we are not in politics The fact
is that we are in politics to the limit,
determined to make our influence felt
for progress and human freedom.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
every trade unionist take an active
part in the campaign now opening.
1t is important to see that trade

Grafton of Labor.
In spite of the many ''isms" offered
to the members of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor as immediate "cure-
alls" for their grievances and the
open-shop" drive during the past two
years, there has been display of
solidarity on the part of the workers
which is astounding to those not close
ly in touch with conditions as they
really exist.
The average member of trade
union is nothing if not practical, and
as a result of his training, the nos
trums offered him by theorists and
rainbow chasers" have had the acid
test of experience applied, hence their
rejection, and if it were possible,
there resulted an increased loyalty
and devotion to the movement which
has done so much for the workers
and society.

campaign of the 'open shoppers"
weakened some of the unions by a
loss in membership, but there is ap-

by the federal trade commission in at
tacking the methods and tactics of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar Company and the
Amalgamated Sugar Company.
In concluding a detailed and spe-
cific report on the methods of the
two sugar companies, the trade com
mission charges the companies con-
spired unfairly to obstruct, hinder,
suppress and eliminate competition
in the purchase of sugar beets and the
manufaucture and sale of beet sugar
IN interstate commerce in various
western states, especially Utah, Ida
no. Oregon, Washington, and Nevada.
The commission orders the companies
to desist from its conspiracy and un-
fair practices and forbids them from
doing certain things, which it names
in part as follows:
by intimidation, untruthful state
ments or otherwise, preventing, him
dering or attempting to prevent or
hinder the Dyer Company, a corpora
ton of Cleveland, Ohio, a manufac-
turer of beet sugar factory machin-

tories in the United States or any

gaging in interstate commerce in
selling, building and equipping beet
sugar factories for competitors or
prospective competitors who are en-
gagged or who are about to engage
in the purchase of sugar beets and
the manufacture and sale of refined
beet sugar in interstate commerce.
by using their financial power and
influence so as to cause banks and
others to refuse credit to and to dis
courage competitors from engaging IN
the purchase of sugar beets and the
manufacture and sale of refined beet
sugar, in interstate commerce.
"By using their financial power and
