lowing walls of gloom, this spirit of
abject hopelessness and utter despair:
1.-THE fact that the LaFollette move
ment, supported by the workers altho
effectively movement of the middle
classes, the ,well-to-do farmers, and
certain sections Of the labor aris-
tocracy, failed to get the expected
mass support in the elections, will
undoubtedly create a spirit of pes
simism as regards the possibility of
creating new mass party within the
frame of democratic capitalist gov
eminent. Among some sections of
militant workers it will strengthen the
syndicalist tendencies of conscious op-
position to working class participa-
ton in politics"
Further on this Foster-Cannon cleo
ton statement says:
''The demonstrated weakness Of the
LaFollette movement, compared to
the prediction estimates of all sides,
not only seriously retards the develop
ment of the third party movement,
but also completely eliminates the i'm
mediate possibility Of the growth Of
a mass farmerlabor party of industrial
workers and poor farmers, distinct
from the Workers Party. Consequent
ly a successful general agitation cam
paign by the Workers Party under the
slogan of For a Mass Farmer-Labor
Party is now impossible" (our
emphasis.)
A Non-Marxian Analysis.
It is true, the Communists should
never strew their difficult paths with
illusory roses. The Communists should
never fool themselves, and thus the
masses, as to the actual conditions and
countless hardships of the class war.
But this does not mean that the Com
munists should turn to the opposite
extreme displayed in the above quota
tons. Communists perpetrate a major
crime against their cause and infiict
serious damage on the interests of
the working class when they turn to
propagating panic, pessimism and
paralysis among the masses. The
above quoted point of view would have
the workers of the world believe that,
with the setback of LaFolletteism,
Doomsday was at hand for the revo-
lutionary proletarian movement in the
United States. In effect the above
declarations are plainly call to the
workers and poor farmers to go into
murning indefinitely and put on sack
cloth.
To the Marxist, momentary losses
are always Of lessor importance than
the question of winning a strategical
base Of operations for the coming
battles thru these very losses. Marx
made that very plain In one OF his let
ters to Kugelman on the defeat Of the
Paris Commune.
The defeat OF the LaFollette revolt
Of the petty bourgeoisie and their fol.
lowers against big capitalism was, by
Itself, an event not to be acclaimed
and rejoiced at. But this very defeat
Of the petty bourgeois leadership. due

lion, with its. consequent result OF be-

GREAT ANTI-WAR
DEMONSTRATIONS
ARE PLANNED
Meetings Willie Held in

MOSCOW, Jule 20 An interna-
tionaI protest eek to commemorate
the tenth anniversary of the world
war is planrd by the Communist In
ternational Aid committee is now
working oyplans to organize anti-war
meetingsm the principal centers of
the capiAlist nations.
The ate set for the giant protest
again. the great butchery organized
bv Ve capitalists in 1914, is the week
Of July 27-August 4.
lfhe commission appointed to plan
ne worldwide anti-war attack is head
ed by comrade Petrovski. 1t will pre-
pare manifesto on war, publish col
lections of articles by Lenin, dealing
with war and Imperialism and colIec-
tions Of articles by Trotsky zinoviev,
Clara Zetkin, Tom Mann, Bella Kun
and other prominent members Of the
Communist International on the same
subject.
The campaign will seek to bring the
masses to realize the inevitability Of
war under capitalism. The world war
which ended with the fake truce Of
1918 only laid the foundation for big
ger and bloodier wars in which the
workers will be the chief sufferers.
The capitalists are powerless to pre-
vent wars even If they wanted to. The
capitalist system breeds wars. The
Dawes plan, which is hailed as an anti
war measure, is only a second Yer
sailles treaty, designed to bring peace
between the warning capitalists and
make the workers of Europe pay the
cost Of the world war.
The Communist International will
expose the hypocrisy of the yellow So

put the Dawes plan into operation.

GOTHAM CLOTHING
WORKERS PICKET
SHOPS EN- MASSE.
Tammany Police Beat
Up Strikers

NEW YORK, June 29.-The fifty
thousand clothing workers on strike
are holding their ranks firm. In
spite of the repeated acts of brutal
ity against the strikers by the police,
the end of the week finds the strik-
ers determined to wage an agrees
sive and militant fight to make the
Amalgamated a 100 per cent organ
ization in the New York market.
Negotiations with the New York
Clothing Manufacturers exchange
is still proceeding. At meeting of
the shop chairmen, held in Cooper
Union yesterday afternoon, the shop
chairmen with great enthusiasm de-
cided to continue the struggle until
their demands were won.
Monday will see one of the biggest
demonstrations ever witnessed in
New York city. At 5 o'clock in the
morning fifty thousand clothing work
ers en- masse will picket the shops.
On last Friday three strikers were
brutally beaten up by detectives of
the New York police department.
Those beaten up were Charles
Schwartz, Caranino Racko and Neg
glorino.
These strikers we're beaten up in
front Of the shop Of Fruoff, Sixth
Ave. and Seventeenth St., one Of the
owners Of which is Tammany Hall
leader. A large picket demonstration
Friday morning in front of the shop
Of Berger, Reichel & We'll was very
effective. No workers reported there
for work Saturday morning.
On Thursday a picket demonstra-
ton in front of that shop was broken
up and many pickets brutally at
tackled. The union has for two years
conducted a bitter struggle against
this firm, which is among the largest
in the city, This firm had an injunc'
ton against the union of two years
duration. The injunction expired
only two months ago.
The manufacturers are finding il
very difficult to ship the work to out
of-town scab shops. Every attempt
is frustrated by the union. On Fri
day scab shop in Woodbine, N. J..
was shut down by the union pickets
The workers are determined to fol
low the advice of President Sidney
Hillman not to be anxious to go back
to work soon, but to keep up the
struggle until demands are won and
the union firmly entrenched once
more in the city of New York.

Khan Enemies Sue for
Half Million; Charge
Use of Stool Pigeon

The American Unity league, an
anti-Ku Klux Khan organization, has
filed suit in the federal district court
Of Chicago for half million dollars
damages against Imperial Wizard
Evans and the khan. The league
charges that Evans paid stool
pigeon to plant himself in the league
and do what he could to wreck 1t.
The league complains that they
took the stool pigeon, H. N. Jones,
for an enemy of the khan, and paid
him to organize league branches in
the east. They say Jones was good
organizer, but that he I.ept all the
money he collected for himself and
received wages from Evans to put
the league on the bum. They also say
Jones ran the circulation of Toler-
ance. the official league paper, from
10000 TO 5000.
So the league decided not to toll
crate Jones any longer, and fired him
and sued Evans.

BANKERS SORE, !,
RUSSIA DIDN'T !
STEAL DOLLARS
That's a Secret Of Labor
Banks End Birthday

Because it isn't good business to
tell secrets after office hours, even
when you are celebrating the second
anniversary of a labor bank, there
will be little joke among the stan
of workers at the Amalgamated
Trust and Savings bank, today and
tomorrow, they won't share with you.
The joke has to do with the atti-
tude of the officials Of many Ameri-
can banks scattered all over the
country who have been for several
years publicly announcing that Rus
STA was without morals and there
fore not a proper country with which
to do business.
These banks announced that they
would not send dollars to Russia be-
cause they would not be safe there.
Nor did they send dollars tn other
European countries with a falling
money market.
They had, however, no objection
to selling foreign exchange which
would be paid in rapidly depreciating
roubles or marks. If a worker want
ed to send $40 or $50 to Europe the
banks would send it and see that it
was paid over in marks or roubles.
While the money was on it's way to
Europe the market would have
dropped some. When 1t finally got
there the $40 would be worth about
SIS. That was good business.
Then along came the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Of America, who,
thru their two banks in this country
and the Prom bank in Russia, made
it possible to send money to Russia
and have it paid out in dollars.
That was in December, 1922. Since
then the Russian money system has
been put on a sound basis, and the
bankers who were too honest to send
dollars to Russia are now following
in the footsteps of the Amalgamated
banks and many Of them are using
the Amalgamated facilities for send
ing the money Of their clients to Rus
STA and other countries, there to be
paid in dollars. Which means that
the Amalgamated's pioneering and
faith in Russia is benefiting every
worker who finds it necessary to send
money to relatives in Russia whether
or not they use the Amalgamated
bank.
If you happen to drop into the
Amalgamated Trust and Savings
bank today or tomorrow to help eel
citrate the second anniversary, don't
expect to be told about how they pio-

SANDUSKY, Ohio, June 29.-The
workers were the worst hit by the great
tornado which swept northern Ohio.
The industrial districts Of both San

wiped out.
The east end of Sandusky, in which
is located the homes of hundreds Of
factory workers, was the worst hit by
the storm. The jerry built frame
houses came down like pack of cards
in the 60-mile gale. Scores of work
ers and their families were buried alive
in the ruins. There is no way Of es-
timating the number of dead as the
work of searching the ruins has not

Reports from Lorain tell of the
same conditions there. Houses built
by the government during the war
and sold to the steel and shipyard
workers are nearly all down. The
