Samuel Gompers is preparing for victory" at
the polls Mr.. Gompers is preparing for a victory
for his policy of nonpartsan political action, for
his policy of reward your friends and punish your
enemies"
! Mr. Gompers has announced that he expects the
election of at least $50 friends of labor to be
chosen as congressman in the November elections.
In the last elections Mr.. Gompers boasts of having
sent to the house of representatives 40 friends"
This year the outlook for such success is much
better. Consequently Mr.. Gompers is certain that
he will be right in his prophecies.
Granting the accuracy of Mr.. Gompers as a
prophet and political seer, fails to where
the workers and poor farmers of this country will
be in position to claim victory or have cause
for iubilation, The men who will be elected as
champions of the workers will not be representa-
tives of the workers, but republicans and democrats
who happened to have received the Endorsement of
certain officials of the trade union movement They
will not be elected as spokesman of the workers
and poor farmers but as socalled good men, honest
men who are at the time regular republicans
and hundred per cent democrats
In the last congress there were 40 such worthless
who received the Endorsement of Mr. Gompers.
This is an suspicious number. If this were a
criterion of the conscious political strength of the
siderable progress by our working class towards
independent class political action along national
lines But it is nothing of the sort These self
styled friends of labor plant tools of the big
business interests of the country. The best proof
of their not being defenders of the workingmen is
to be found in the record of this congregation of
fraudulent friends.
The last congressional session in which there
were so many Gompers friends of labor did moth
ing in the way of enactng measures to enhance
the welfare and interests of the working masses.
The vicious railway labor board, the Esch- Cum
Minis Act, agricultural relief, and many other
pressing problems confronting the workers and
poor farmers were deliberately evaded by the last
session. In short the Gompers friends of labor
have been everything but spokesman for and de-
tenders of the interests of the workers.
The ''victory" Mr.. Gompers is preparing to
celebrate is victory for the working class. -

The Reward of Ability

One of the loudest walls raised by the defenders
of capitalism when the sanctity of the profit sys-
tenn is challenged is over the integrity of indi-
vidual incentive. The spokesman for the ruling
class would have us believe that once the means
of production and exchange socially used are So
cially owned and controlled that the private
ownership for profits is abolished there viii be an
end to the incentive of the individual for achieve
lment.
These champions of the capitalist system as
rule tend to cite the case of the inventor the
scientist. They would have the world believe that
under Communist system of society these men
would be denied the fruits of their labor. This
contention is based on wholly gratuitous as
sumption. There is nothing further from the truth
than the notion being spread that individual
ability is the basis of capitalist reward. We have
la particular case in mind. This case is typical of
the countless instances where men of ability, men
of science and training have been crushed by
poverty by denial of the fruits of their socially
highly constructive labor
Mr.. Edgar Lucien Larkin, a noted astronomer
and writer scientific subjects, has just died.
Mr.. Larkin widely known the director of
the famous Mount Lowe observatory. At the time
of his death Larlxin was virtually penniless. A
lifetime of scientific toll did not enable him to have
even enough to pay his last hospital bill.
The paths of capitalist progress are strewn with
many Lucien LarSins. For the mass of workers,
for the great mass of steel workingmen coal
miners railway hands, garment workers, and other
laborers capitalism holds neither hope nor op-
portunity. Capitalism lives on crushing the in
dvidua incentive of the vast masses of the popula-
ton who are turned into automatons of the gigan-
tic profit machinery. What hope, what incentive
can the average employee of the United States Steel
corporation or the Standard Oil have? The age
of the othepresidency has gone if it ever
was with us at all under capitalism
There is only one system that holds out any
hope for the abilities and incentive of the great
masses of the country. This system is one which
will be based the specialization Of the collectively
used means of production and exchange This sys-
tenn is one which will make it impossible for few
TO live the exploitation of the many. This sys-
TEN is Communism where the working masses will
own the agencies and means of production and ex
change and not pay tribute to a parasitic class.

We Have With Us Again !.

A "red scare" may be down but it is never out.
OF course, there are red scares which are neither
down aud out. There is a big red scare in Russia
which is soaring the wits out of the plundering
capitalists of the world.
There is a red scare in Germany. 1t hangs like
a Damoces sword over the necks of the frightened
Teutonic bourgeoisie.
There is a sizable red scare in China. The cap
ialst pirates are scampering around in all direc-
tons wondering what has hit them
There are red scares in Italy, Bulgaria. Spain
and in other countries. In other words, the po-
litical power of capitalism in those countries hangs
by a slender thread and the proletariat is develop
ing the will to power
Here in America the capitalists yet strong
and the great masses of workers suffering from
the Illusion that their problems can be solved by
reforming capitalism and rather than take on the
job of solving their own problems by giving the
capitalists the tip of the proletarian boot, they
rely on fossized political jockeys like LaFollette
to dope them with promises.
But even in the United States the red nightmare
haunts the couch of the capitalist class While
they are yet strong they know that the onward
march of the world revolution will not skip Amer
lea. Tho the masses in this country are now in
duIging in political debauch the paying guests
OF 1afOuoJCe, our rulers KNOW IndI inc
after will bring cooler heads and the conditions
of life will force the workers to turn to Commun-
ism as their only salvation
Therefore we have periodical "red scares" 1t
is true that the socalled exposures are ninety nine
per cent lies. But that there is a market for the
wares of the stoolpgeons shows how deep is the
capitalist dread of the inevitable awakening of the
labor giant.
Thus Jakey Spolansky, unemployed government
fink can get good American dollars for series
of imaginary tales about the ''Red Terror" in the
Chicago Daily News. If the editor of the News
is satisfied, the feeling shonldf be unanimous. No
doubt Jakey got the money-it is safer than work
ing as prohibition agent and holding up sacra-
mental wine stores with the possibility Of detec-
ton and Jail sentence. The Communists not
bothered seriously-it gives them publicity of a
sort. 1t calls attention to them and The DAILY
WORKER is here to give the right kind of pub
licity
Life being such as is it, good "red scare"
served up by an artistic liar would make better
reading than one of the Calvin Coolidges speeches.
But Spolansky is great disappointment His
stuff is very stale.

The Supreme Court Once More

The United States supreme court is back on the
job. No does it get back ON the job than it
strikes a blow at the workers of the whole country.
This time it is the railway workers that have
been singled out for the assault by the highest
oracle Of the employing class The holy synod of
capitalist bishops has decided to uphold the con-
viction Of workingmen formerly employed on the
Santa Fe railroad and charged with conspiracy
to obstruct the mails and interference with in
terstate commerce. The grew out of the shop
mems strike in 1929 and the difficulties arising in
this dispute on the Calfornia-Arizona border.
Two years after a struggle waged by the work
ingmen in behalf of their right to organize and
against unspeakable conditions of employment the
supreme court finds it necessary to punish rail
way men. There is only one crime the workingmen
guilty of in the eyes of the supreme court. 1t
is a crime against the BOSSES In the eyes of the
capitalist judges the worst crime that can be com
mitted is the fighting against exploitation.
Everyone knows that the charges against the
railway unfounded. Everyone knows
that the Santa Fe workers were especially singled
out for assault during the shopmens strike be-
cause Of the heroic struggle they put up against
overwhelming odds. Everyone knows that the out
RACES attributed to the Santa Fe workers were
perpetrated by the gunner and detectives hired
by the corporation in order to secure legal pre-
tense for vicious assault by the government
against the strikers We recall the tale of marooned
passengers suffering in the desert. We recall that
even the hard-boiled Santa Fe was compelled to
repudiate many Of these fraudulent stories
The Santa Fe decision comes at time when
the workers are called upon to vote another in

fifteen cents, gave dollar bills amount
ing to seven hundred dollars and
pledged their fullest support to make
the demonstration in Madison Square
Garden huge success.
The high-salaried officials of the in
ternational no longer sense the spirit
and sentiment of the workers. They
are blind to the burning Indignation in
the hearts of the workers who have
thru years of struggle developed a
flaming spirit Of independence.
The leaders of the international
had attempted to aIay the basic
discomfort of the workers by means
of expulsion and prosecutions. All
they accomplished was to increase
the hot hatred Of the workers for
the parasites that are preyine on
them.
Cooper Union opened a new chap
ter in the struggle of the rank and file
against the bureaucracy. The work
ers may suffer many a wound at the
hands of the officials, but anyone who
has seen these men and women clam
oring for admission into the damned
halls, anyone who has still seen their
glowing eyes and sensed their fighting
spirit, will not despair Of the outcome
OF this momentuous struggle.
