Capitalist Flunkey Rebuked

John L. Lewis and Gompers are working over
time trying to secure the Indictment of radicals
who endeavor to cleanse the labor movement of
the grafters and capitalist agents who mainly
lead it. They are the chief aids of Mr.. Hughes
in resisting public opinion in favor of the re-
cognition of Soviet Russia. The labor lickspit-
ties of the Gompers type have for their stock
argument the fact that revolutionary Russia
used force in crushing the enemies of the work
ers. But they do not say that this force was
used legally by the Russian government. 1t
was legalized by the revolution which establish
ed the government that used it.
Senator Borah delivered a well merited re-
buke to the labor faker who heads the United
Mine Workers of America, when the senator
delivered his speech in reply to Lodges attack
on Russia Borah sad 'In the offices of many
senators may still be found basketful of
printed matter, signed by able lawyers for
business clients in which the United Mine
Workers are charged with every class of offense
against life and property rights which the Mine
Worker leader has charged against Zinoviev."
The American labor takers are not only
crooked, but cowardly. They fight the capital
lists with their mouths but they are actually
on the best of terms with them. The ranting
Of the labor leaders and the capitalists against
Communists on the ground that the latter
advocate force and violence" is the sheeresr
hypocrisy. Lewis uses gunner to keep himself
in power, the capitalists use gunner to break
strikes prevent the formation of unions and
assist the reactionaries in keeping the progress
ives out of office The Communists do not be-
lieve in individual acts of violence or terrorism
and have never advocated It, They believe in
the exercise Of the mass power Of the workers,
the majority of the people for the purpose Of
establishing the rule Of the useful elements Of
society and abolshing the system of robbery
and terrorism which now prevails.
That is the kind of force that the Russian
workers used. Not t. employment of degener-
ate sex perverts and burglars who are engaged
by the capitalists to crush the unions and kill
the radicals, not the pagced convicts who are
employed by the millionaire labor takers to ter
rorize their members into voting for them.
When Senator Wheeler Of Montana stated at
the meeting of the Conference for Progressive
Political Action in Cleveland that many western
bankers were more progressive than some
eastern labor leaders he stated an undoubted
truth The labor reactionaries who now dom
mate the American labor movement are now the
chief enemies of the workers and must be
merciIessly exposed until they are driven into
open alliance with the capitalists whom they
now serve secretly.

"A Labor Leaders Funeral

When the body of Thomas S. Kearney, for
mer president of the Chicago Building Trades
Council was laid to rest, five judges, some 26
professional capitalist politicians, half dozen
capitalists, several reactionary labor leaders
and at least one priest accompanied the last
remains of the man "who never double-crossed
a friend" to his last resting place.
Thomas S. Kearney was typical labor
leader. He was as 'bonafde" as could be. If
two ideas ever fought for supremacy in his
brain at the time it is a safe bet that their
goal was nothing higher than how to get more
of this worlds wealth for Tom Kearney
The capitalists liked him. He stood like the
Rock of Gibraltar for the sacredness of a con-
tract between master and slave. lie supported
the Lands Award which was the entering
wedge of the open shoppers in the building in
dustry Of Chicago So in spite of the number
of indictments he figured in and the many
murder cases in which his name was mention
ed, despite his association with big Tim"
Murphy, Fred Nader and the other leeches
who prey on the organized workers of Chicago
and at the same TINE, act as agents for the
capitalists, Kearney was held in high esteem
by the capitalist press. He was a loyal bench
man of capitalism in general and Of capitalists
in particular.
Therefore it is not surprising that when he
died, not alone were Umbrella Mike" Boyle and
Fred Nader, notorious labor grafters, among
the prominent mourners but also capitalists
and their judges and political lackeys. How
these political harpies show their hypocrisy
They rend the heavens with denunciations of
"force and violence" and yet they support in
life and honor in death that type Of labor gang
ster who holds his position with a gat and uses
the labor movement for his own material inter-
ests
Capitalists, capitalist judges, capitalist poll
ticians and capitalist labor leaders were there
when Kearney's body was lowered into the
grave. He was their own and they recognized
him as SUCH So did the servant of God who
offidiated And there was nothing strikingly
spiritual in the words that Father John Nc
earthly uttered. 'Tom Kearney always
stood by his principles and was man of stout
heart If more Of the disputes between labor
and capital were settled on priciple the results
would be fairer and the world needs more men
of stout hearts," Thus the rear was brought
up by representative Of the air forces of
capitalism.

relns OF power IN the "old" demOc-
racy of the new continent.
Sam Gompers is at the top. He
possesses the gold pen presented to
him by Wilson. The halls Of all the
"big men" connected with political
machinery are open to him.
The American politicians are not
orators with fine phraseology. They
are men of deeds. They would not
open their halls and would not, with
out reckoning, present anyone with
their pens. They demand compensa-
ton. A "labor leader" is of value
to them only in the event of his fool
ing the laboring masses and doing
that dirty work which the politicians
themselves consider not behooved, or
unit to do in their own name.
Sam Gompers has been doing his
work, struggling against immigra-
ton, at the direction Of the American
barons Of cca and iron. The leader
Of lahorers, whcse entire strength is

Now comes the interesting and
significant part of it. The $426, 900
received from the Federal Reserve
Bank, represents loans to the farm
ers in the vicinity of Washington
Springs, and these loans are now be-
ing foreclosed on, and the farmers
find themselves without farms. Be-
tween now and March 1st, 1924, there
will be one foreclosure every day, on
one of these farmers, and so far
twenty-five of them have been fore
closed on and lost their land.
There are many such graphic tales
of how the capitalist system "gets'
the farmer, and the result of it is
that the farmers are gradually begin
ming to rid themselves of the illusion
that the capitalist system is the best
in the world, and that they are liv-
ing in the greatest democracy under
the sun.

and will exist, despite of their will
to the contrary.
As regards America, a new era is
also approaching there and is mark
ed by the ever and ever-growing and
strengthening of that party-the
Workers Party-which is heading and
uniting laporers not with a view of
serving the interests of capital but
for the protection of the interests
of the laboring masses.
To the organ Of this party-the
Daily Worker-our warm welcome.
The "Daily Worker" will find means
to dethrone the leaders-servants of

honest leaders and to do away with

A Vicious Proposal

Secretary of Labor Davis, the imported
Welshmen and ex-puddler, who by diligence
as a capitalist lackey worked his way up from
a steel mill slave, and later on hawker of mem
bership cards in a fraternal organization, to his
present position in the Coolidge administra-
ton, has proposed a selective immigration law
under which workers will be examined in Eu-
ropean countries as to their fitness to enter the
United States. Under the terms of Mr. Davis
proposed law European labor would be
brought here under contract to work for GER
tain industries and foreign-born workers
fingerprints registered and photographed like
criminals.
Mr.. Davis spent several weeks in Europe
last year gathering information that would as
sist him in putting the scheme across. Among
the important personages whose views he con-
sidered of value was that of Dictator Musso-
lini, the Italian Fascist chief Mr.. Davis had
the backing of the big American manufacture
ers. President Coolidge, the famous strike
breaker of Massachusetts, in his message to
Congress, gave his approval to this plan.
For over half a century the employing
classes of this country have encouraged mass
immigration. Europe was overrun with glib
agents picturing in the rosest colors the con-
ditions under which the workers of America
lived. Moving pictures were introduced show
ing laborers receiving fat pay checks from
their employers Industrial organizations
needed large supply of cheap labor and for
eign-born workers had not yet learned to
make a common cause with the native workers
and fight for a higher standard of living.

born wage slave was a pail of water, loaf of
