Defending the BondhoIders

While in the United States we have the spectacle
of Labor, official organ of the railroad unions,
pleading the of the bondholders, and placing
them Gin the same class the employees" in Great
Britain the so-called "labor" government proceeds
on similar but even more practical lines It's mem
bers in parliament actually boast that Habor"
protects the bondholders better than had the
Tories in the past.
This amazingly frank statement came from M.
Morel, "labor" NJ. p, during the debate in the
House of Commons the treaty with Soviet Rus
STA. AS reported in the Daily Herald official organ
of the British Labor party the following occurred
after the Tories had attacked the treaty as insult
fcienty protecting the interests of British bond
holders
''What did the Conservative Government do for
the interests of the bondhoders?" he asked ''You
did nothing" continued Mr.. More ''we are doing
something. We doing more than you ever at
tempted"
The "labor" government in Britain proves too
much. So well and completely does it prove that
it stands four square for capitalism that it proves
at the same time to the workers that it is not a
''labor" government in anything but name. 1t is
merely government of the agents of capitalism
within the labor movement in alliance with the
"liberal" capitalists. 1t is a government of class
collaboration, opposed to every fundamental issue
that is in the interest of the British workers and
the interests of the working class of the entire
word.

textile magnates were looking ahead.
They saw a time when, after the
boobs had been either killed or de-
modified, they could reduce wages
and continue to clean up immense
profits. The first thing they thought
about was, of course, to plant spies
and informers among the textile un-
ions and in the textile mills. In Bos-
ton they arranged with Mr.. Moore Of
the Sherman Service" for corps
Of men to be put to work in Mr.
Buffers home town, New Bedford,
Massachusetts,. Charles c. Dexter,
one of Buffers bosom pals in New
Bedford, advanced $4,000 to the
Sherman agency as first payment
from the New Bedford Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association for industrial
espionage against the textile workers

Butler Directs Detectives.
In the latter part of 1918, the war
being over and the time ripe for an
attack upon wage scales, the present
chairman of the republican party, Mr..
Butler, took over the active direction
of the Sherman detectives engaged
in New Bedford. There we're about
thirty finks almost continually EN-
ployed by Butler in New Bedford, and
most of them belonged to one or an.
other Of the textile workers unions.
Butler gave his orders as to detail
and policies to be pushed by his IN
dercover men in the unions and in
the mills, both to the Boston superin-
tendent of the Sherman outfit. Moore,
or to A. M. Donahue, who was direct
ly in charge of the crew OF fnks in
New Bedford. SO extremely well did
Mr.. Butler like this business of plant
ing stool-pigeons in unions and art
fully directing them against the in.
terests of the workers, that even
when another New Bedford capitalist.
Walter Langshaw, became president
OF the New Bedford Cotton Manufac.
turers' Association, Butler insisted on
bossing the stool-pigeons. He liked
that job. He enjoyed It. AS this was

No Split in Nova Scotia!

1t is well that the Red International of Labor
Unions has officially added its warning to that of
the Trade Union Educational League and the Com
munists against the split in the ranks of the Nova
Scotia miners, for which certain dual unionsts
have been strenuously working for some MONTHS
These splitters have become a menace, not be-
cause of the validity of the proposals. but because
they voice response to the provocations of the
Lewis bureaucracy, which has been assauting the
Nova Scotia miners in every conceivable fashion
for that purpose. Many rank and ilers, not under
standing that split fits right into the desires of
Lewis follow their emotions and listen to the siren
songs of the dual unionists.
split among the miners would be real blow
against the progressive forces and terrible weaken
ing of the miners of the entire continent and would
play right into the hands of the blacklist elements
of the union. For the revolutionaries it would
mean simply a running away from the fight The
miners of Nova Scotia, when they have considered
the question seriously, will summarily reject this
dangerous propaganda, and refuse to listen to the
interested propagators.

Why Is the U. S. Rich?

Perhaps you have been wondering why the
United States has a considerable share of the
worlds wealth. The explanation is offered by a
certain Mr. George Hinman, writer extraordinary
for William Randolph Hearst, who knows all there
is to be known, and then bit more, about eco
nomics For three cents can learn all about the
subject in the Herald Examiner.
1t is all so simple. The reason why this country
is rich, says Mr.. Human, is because American in
dustry pays such high dividends to the capitalists.
These worthy gentlemen, in the classic manner
made immortal by Mr.. Smiles, prudently cautious
ly, and conservatively, preserve these dividends
from waste, and reinvest them in the industries
of America, in order to produce bigger dividends,
to reinvest and The bigger the dividends
the richer the country, says Mr.. Hinman. Whoever
attacks dividends attacks the foundation of our
prosperity Karl Marx knew less than any country
banker, says this wise man of Hearst
This is the kind of intellectual junk that millions
of workers pay good pennies for each day when
they buy the capitalist press 1t is also the trash
that fills the heads of our respectable 'labOr
leaders," who preach harder work, bigger produc-
ton, cut down the employers COSTS establish class
collaboration, arbitrate, and generally be good to
the capitalists 1t is the sort of stuff that must
be eliminated from the labor movement, unless
we wish to see our unions degenerate into sewing
circles, OF INTO duXlnarleS OF the 1OuuS Men S
Christian Association.
But after all, the common sense of the mass of
the workers keeps them from swallowing such a
rot as Humans. The rank and file know quite
well that they get any consideration from the
employers, unless and until they fight for it and
win it by battle. The workers instinctively know
that they have to fight, and all the poison of the
Hearst press combined with the other capitalist
dailies over the country cannot convince them
otherwise

Those were great days for Mr..
Coolidge's "big brother" Thru con-
situations with Moore in Boston and
Donahue in New Bedford, the person

Sherman agency and their every
movement were closely directed in
the interests of the mill magnates

a democrat to the United States Senate. In order
to stave off the rapid loss of colored support in
the North, the republican inside clique made the
empty gesture of increasing the allotment Of dele
gates from the southern states in the 1924 con
vention.
And Mr.. Coolidge, who now has the insolence
to label himself friend of the Negroes has not had
even sufficient courage to master enough of hypo-
crisy to denounce the Khan in this campaign. His
chief competitors for the presidential office have
done so. Besides his running mate the open shop
per General Dawes has gone so far as to
afford justification and apology for the existence
of the Ku Klux Klan that organization of hooigans
which has been making pogroms against the Negro
masses in the North and South.
Mr. Coolidge will not succeed in misleading the
Negroes. His hypocritical sweet words will not
poison the minds of the Negro voters. More and
more the Negroes are becoming aware of the fact
that their sole hope lies in union of the workers
of all coors and creeds against the class whose in
terests are championed by Mr.. Coolidge and his
corrupt clique. No oppressed race, no oppressed
class has ever been given liberty They have always
had to fight for it. The Negroes know this truth
from many years of bitter experience.

President Coolidge has sent letter to DR..
Robert B. Motion, president of the National Negro
Business League, congratulating the American
Negro population upon the economic progress they
have made. The chief executive also assures the
Negro people that he will stand by them in helping
them their full political rights
Little argument is necessary to convince one

Oh the of a national election. Every vote
counts. The vote of the Negro also counts when it
is counted in favor of the republican regime. Mr..
Cooidge's message is simply votecatching epstle.
1t betrays sincerity and manifests genuine
interest in the welfare of the millions of exploited
Negro workers.
AS a matter Ct fact, recent days have witnessed
a serious SCATTERING of the old illusion that the
republican party is friend of the Negroes. On
too many occasions has the republican party lined
up to strike damaging blows against the Negroes,
for the coored people to continue faith in the
called party of Lincoln.
Ample evidence of the fact that the Negroes are
steadily becoming disllusoned with the republican
party is to be had in recent election results 1t

DaweS On the Pan

That Coolidge has upset Dawes plans by call
ing him to Plymouth for conference, is sign
that some "brass tacks" will be talked behind
closed doors to "Hel N Maria as well publicly
by him. Not that Coolidge thinks differently about
the Khan than Dawes-but that his name is "Cau-
tious Cal" and he thinks three times before he
speaks and then he says nothing.
It was really unpardonabale, from the view of
capitalist politics, that Dawes should have en-
dorsed the Khan the way he did He didn't have
to go that far in order to get the vote And it is
primary rule in politics, that doubt Cal will i'm
press upon Dawes mind in this little conference,
that one must not pay more than the market price
for votes. To do so upsets the whole political
economy" of the republican party.
But Cal and Charlie are quite similar in all but
their method of public speaking They ought to be
quite fond of one another, because they do fit to-
gether SO well. They are the perfect Gold Dust
Twins, and Wall Street will be ungrateful if it
does not furnish them with big war chest. And
with that-wel, even Dawes plumbers about the
Khan can be overcome and all will be we'll
