casionally throw a vivid light upon what is 60
ing on.
Two phases of international struggle are inn
posing themselves upon the local rvalries and am
billions that furnish the outward dress to the
Chinese disturbances: One is the conflict between
Japan, the United States and England for positions
of vantage in the control of China as particularly
rich section of the world market and as a subject
of semicolonial exploitation. The other is the
united struggle of these rival imperialist powers
against the growing influence of Soviet Russia
an influence which, expressed in the signing of a
treaty between Russia and China, has thrown into
confusion and rage the foreign offices of the CAPT
talist nations.
1t may be assumed, in the absence of authorita-
tive and detailed information, that the various
Generals whose armies seem to operate without
much regard to the central government are
financed and directed by the various imperialist
powers who maneuver against one another thru
these agencies At the same time, these armies will
be directed, insofar they are the instruments of
the imperialists who are intent upon subjugating
China completely to their aims, by policy of
weakening, discrediting, and finally replacing the
central government which was so rash as to sign
the treaty with Soviet Russia without permission
from capitalist Imperialism.
This background, so briefly sketched here, fur
nishes complications enough to show the various
moves reported in the capitalist press as part of
more intricate picture than we have so far been
given. At the same time it gives us the key which
will, when more trustworthy information comes
to hand to fill in the Details enable us to really
have some sort of an understanding of the civil
war now raging in China. The Importance of such
an understanding cannot be overestimated, A ma
ton of 400 million persons is weighty factor in
the world, Notwithstanding its lack of battleships
and guns, and especially to the labor movement is
it important to establish understanding, as the
basis for that international cooperation of the
toiling masses thru which alone emancipation from
the capitalist system can come

Hold Shop Meetings

A development in the presidential campaign that
is more important than all the manifestos of can
didates is the fact that workers thruout the coun-
try are beginning to hold shop meetings to discuss
who should receive the support of the workers. And
when the workers begin to discuss politics in the
shops, and to hold meetings, and to discuss and
vote upon representatives to express their interests
then may the capitalists well tremble. For it is
out of such shop meetings that the power will come
that is to abolish the capitalists and their system
from the face of the earth.
What is still primitive and blind impulse, these
shop meetings and the discussions arising in them,
must be taken up and developed consciously and
energetically by the militants. 1t is fundamental
duty of every revolutionary worker to stimulate,
organize, and encourage in every way, such shop
meetings and shop discussions One Of the best
to do this with, is the straw vote on
presidential candidates. This straw vote can be
made the basis for raising every fundamental issue
before the working class. 1t must be used more
widely and from it developed a more conscious
group of supporters Of Foster and Gitlow. Hold
shop meetings to discuss candidates and take
straw votes

HowGt Supports Foster

Alex Howat has never been tanned, either by the
capitalists, by John L. Lewis, by his timid
friends who wished to sell their support of him
in return for debating his politics. And that
Howat is still the same old working class rebel,
was shown in Springfield the other night when he
boldly took the platform along with William D.
Foster and endorsed Fosters candidacy for presi-
dent on the Workers Party ticket. Howat said
that he is going to vote for Foster and asks all
other workers to do the same thing.
Howat's spirit is that of the militant working
class. 1t is that which is so sorely needed in the
direction of American labor unions today in the
place of the spineless servity of the Lewises, the
Johnstons the Gomperses and the rest of the CAPT
talist lackeys who clutch the labor movement by
the throat That the workers instinctively know
this, is shown by the tremendous popularity of
Howat among the miners of the entire continent.
What is needed, and must be done before this
militant spirit can find its complete expression,
is to solidly organize the militants within the
unions that the reactionaries cannot assassinate
them thru explosions, and thru cooperating with
the authorities in prison frameups.
And in this year of presidential campaigning,
the militants have splendid opportunity to show
their colors and to lay the basis for great cam
paign of organization and education They can
do this by following the example and advice of
Alex Howat. That is, to boldly speak out and defy
the reactionaries of all stripes, whether they re-
main, like John L. Lewis, directly in the camp of
Wall STREET, or whether they join the small CAPT
talsts in the camp of LaFollette. 1t is from such
fearless acts and such bold spirits that progress
comes.

TOmsky in England

While the American trade unions still con-
trolled by the blacklist kind of reaction the same
cannot longer be said of the British labor move
ment. The fact that Tomsky chairman of the ALL
Russian Council of Trade Unions could appear be-
fore the British Trades Union Congress, now meet
ing at Hull, is sign of the strong drift to the
left that is making itself felt in the directing
councils of the British labor movement. Such a
thing as the reception of a representative of the
Russian unions by a convention of the A. F. OF b..
for comparison, is unlikely enough to give us some
measure of the progress in Great Britain.
The main reason why reactionary labor leaders
hate the Russian unionists, is that they con-
tent themselves with speaking a lot of meaningless
platitudes. Thus, when Tomsky appeared at Hull
his words were direct challenge to the leaders
of the Labor" Government, who have become the
agents of j. p. Morgan in putting over the Dawes
Plan. Tomsky branded this act for what it is
"seizing the German proletariat by the throat"
and called for united struggle of all trade union
lists against the slavery of the Dawes project
Gompers would call that impolite; but the Russian
unionists have a peculiar notion that they would
rather be true to the interests of the working class
than be polite in the bourgeois manner
Another great crisis is looming before the work
ing class, in the not far distant future that will
become as historic as that of August, 1914 The
new world war of capitalist imperialism is in the
making, the Dawes Plan is one of the distinct
steps toward it, and in the manner that the union
leaders treat Of this plan of the Morgan rulers of
the world, we will have the answer as to whether
they will repeat the betrayal of 1914, or whether
they will Join the Communists in the struggle for
emancipation Tomsky in England put the ques
ton squarely before the British workers. And
great section Of the British working class is con-
scious of this ISSUE and determined to fight against
capitalism The imperialists will not find the next
world war such easy shedding.

Newspaper "ReUolts" in Russia

Again the Chicago Tribune is publishing stories
Of revolts" against the Soviet Government OF Rus
STA. The stories come from the same old sources
of inspired propaganda, and are written by the
same hirelings, as the well-known thousand-and-
one predictions of the restoration of the old order
that have appeared during the past seven years
Riga, Reval Berlin, London-these points are
teeming with "news" about the "revolts"-at least
in the cable Offices
Unfortunately for the emigre Czarists, who
wish to return to their former ideness and luxury
at the expense of the Russian workers and peas
ants, a newspaper story in Chicago will not per-
suade the Russian workers to take them back
These newspaper stories have another object-to
put off, for as long as possible the inevitable day
of the recognition of Soviet Russia by the govern
ment of the United States. In this pious wish are
united Samuel Gompers and his crew, in closest
communion with the Chicago Tribune and all the
most vicious labor-hating capitalists of America
1T is to justify these gentlemen in the eyes OF their
followers that the lies are told.
Meanwhile, the Soviet governments continue to
rebuild the industries, and to reconstruct the life
of onesxth of the globe, upon the principles of the
proletarian dictatorship-the rule of the working
class in alliance with the farmers-slowy but sure
y consolidating its forces social and economic, and
raising the standards of life and culture until to-
day Soviet Russia is the most solid and permanent
social organism in the world. No wonder the
dogs Of capitalism howl and wall, and try to con-
vince themselves that the Soviets will soon fall
for the continued victory of the Russian workers
is the guarantee that exploitation in the rest of the
world must sooner or later go the way of the Rus
sian Gar.

China is long ways off from Chicago, and the

not of sort to inspire confidence in the reports Of
civil war now raging in that country. All cable

trolled by interests hostile to the central govern

clear lead to any Interpretation of what is going
on in the sense of connecting the various Generals
and their armies with this that side of the in

which are absolutely necessary to the

party member can be excused from

Funds for the erection of the new
building were supplied in equal parts
by the Methodist Centenary and from
endowment income. Bishop and
Mrs. Thirkie1d, for whom it is named
were sent to Atlanta to open the
school in 1883, at which time there
vas but one member of the faculty
and two students. Since then the
school has sent out 1900 alumni and
now enrolls annually more than q
