Soviet Russia Goes Ahead

The black capitalist press is working at feverish
pace painting lurid pictures of chaos and counter
revolution in Soviet Russia. We are being told
that the Red Army is shooting down workers, that
industry is going to pieces and that the Soviet
government is on its last legs.
These are tales woven out of the whole cloth.
The Chicago Tribune, for instance, now that its
correspondents have been banned from Soviet Rus
STA, plain liars is purchasing most of its Rus
sian information" from Scotland Yard agents.
The facts are totally different. Soviet Russia is on
the upward grade. All the imperialist schemes
Matched by the Baldwin government and whole
prove of no avail to the expoters in their bastard
ly efforts to undermine the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
The official report Of the supreme council of ma
tional economy just made public by Dzerzhinsky,
its president puts to rout these fraudulent rumors
The annual report on the railway and steel indus
try is instructive. 1t shows marked Improvement
for the country. "a
At the same time the Soviet government has en-
tered into a favorable arrangement with Italy re-
garding the disposal of Russian petroleum. Soviet
engineers are making rapid Roadway in the recon
struction work Of the great Georgian military
highway which runs from Vladkavkaz to Tifis
and connects Soviet Russia with the Caucasian
states The surplus of exports imports for the
fiscal year ending October 1, 1924, is more than
1874 million gold rubles. 9
The task of Soviet reconstruction is no easy one.
The Workers and Peasants Soviet Republic is as
much as ever before surrounded by imperialist
enemies Many OF these are not as aggressively
hostile today as they were few years ago simply
because the Soviet power has taught them pain
full and costly lessons, has vanqushed or decisiyely
defeated them.
The Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics is going

its friends and will stay the murderous hands Of

| the man who fought this or that aspi-
ration of labor. Before the war we
often saw attacks upon Gompers by
the more reactionary stratum of CAPT
tai as a fomenter of labor trouble.
During the war, and more especially
after the war, when Gompers' role
became more clearly that Of de-
stroyer Of the labor movement, the
attacks of the most reactionary CAPT
talist organs gradually ceased and
blended into a rising hymn of praise.

For what is Gompers remembered
now? The naive capitalist press an
swers loud: "For Fighting the redsI"
In the epoch of the revolutionary rise
of the working class to ruling power,
Gompers and the Gompers dynasty re-
ceive their recognition.
In the scramble among his heirs to
succeed Gompers, what are the quail
flcations that are offered by the diff
ferent candidates7
In the Chicago Tribune of last Sun
day the qualifications of the candi.
dates are summed up painfully well:
"All Of them have been ardent fol
lowers" Of the policies of Gompers
who has practically saved the organ
lied labor movement from falling into
the hands of group of irresponsible
radicals led by such men as William
2. Foster and John tombstone"
John L. Lewis is mentioned, and the
qualifications offered for him are but
two: That he may receive the favor of
the strikebreaker Coolidge by appoint
ment to the cabinet, and that "he is
the man" who forced our comrade, the
Communist William F. Dunno, out of
the Portland convention.
Tom Rickert is mentioned, and i'm
plicit in the recommendation is the
one fact: That he destroyed the
United Garment Workers as a real
organization in 1914 by forcing out the
masses of the membership who later
became the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers.
James Duncan is mentioned, for the
single reason that he is but sordid
ape of Gompers' treason.
And last, but not least, Matty Vol,

The Danes Era

Owen d. Young, the temporary and first agent
general of reparation payments, has just been
rendered testimonial dinner by the elite Of the
employing class of the United States.
In this gathering there were found the leading
spokesman of every battalion of American reaction
and capitalist imperialism. Ebert H. Gary, of the
life crushing steel trust represented the extreme
right wing and several hand-picked labor heuten-
ants of capital represented the left wing of the
guardians of the capitalist institutions.
Mr.. Young, who is close business associate of
J. P. Morgan, declared that the Dawes plan is
leading to a new era. Mr.. Young insisted that the
United States adopt strong farm policy for this
new era and that foreign relations should be freed
from the ''horseplay of domestic politics"
Mr.. Young is right. The Dawes plan adoption
does mark new era 1t marks the open entry of
the American imperialist clique into politico-
economic world affairs as the ruling iunta For a
few years American capitalists have been the
dominating spirit behind the backdrop of inter
national affairs. With the adoption of the Dawes
plan American capitalists have become not only
the formal receivers of Germany but in fact the
virtual receivers of all European capitalism and
hence almost of world capitalism.
Coincident with the adoption of the Dawes plan
there has been developed articially and otherwise
huge demand for adequate" naval, aerial and
military preparedness. Recent months have seen
rapid increase in the number of admirals and
generals mounting the public rostrum in behalf
of increased appropriations and against every
force that might in the least attempt to inter
fere with the development of miliarism in the
United States.
The Dawes era is the period in which American
Imperialism is openly recognized as the ruling
Imperialism. 1t is the era in which Yankee CAPT
talism is waging relentless campaign to maintain
and intensity its world supremacy. We are now
being prepared for Dawes plans, for France, for
China and for other countries. The Dawes era is
an era of bloody wars

the farmers to continue waiting for the flavor
able" play of natural forces
But when the question of the reduction Of rail
way freight rates is dealt with, we find that the
chamber is one of those deadly enemies that the
farmers must destroy in order to avoid total de-
graduation. Says the chamber Of commerce: awe
believe that every possible aid should be extended
to farm cooperative organizations, EXCEPT that
government financial assistance should not be
used to displace the tried and proved facilities
of established industry"
Here we have the pith of the whole question.
Big business will see to it that not cent will be
voted by the government for farm relief Big bust
ness must enforce niggardly governmental policy
towards workers and poor farmers in order to
avoid the danger Of increased tax levies and in
order to ensure the existence Of huge fund with
which to provide for increased military and naval
machines and with which to guarantee the max
mum efficiency for the gigantic strikebreaking
apparatus.
We have no doubt that the exploited farmers will
rather than later join hands with the work
ers in the cities in self-defense and for united
assault against their common enemy-the railway
bosses, the coal magnates, the oil barons and the
money kings.

The Miners Fate

A powerful propaganda document against the
ravages of capitalism is what the critical worker
will find in the latest annual report of the director
of the bureau of mines.
OF course Director Fl. Foster Balm has not writ
ten the report as an Indictment of American CAPT
talism In fact he has written it from the point of
view of an eloquent defense of the private capitalist
ownership and operation of the coal mines. Never
theless there are certain findings which defy mis-
representation and concealment
For the thirteen year period, 1911 to 1923, the
bureaus records Indicate that 1892 miners lost
their lives in the bituminous pits. In this period
many times this number of mine workers lost their
limbs or were otherwise injured.
Explosions of gas and coal dust were responsible
for 31S5 deaths 1t is instructive to note that the
government bureau considers that good portion
of the latter deaths could have been avoided if
the principle of rockdusting the mines would have
been followed. OF course the bureau does not dare
to point out the why and the wherefore of the en-
poyers failure to adopt this practice. The bureau
does not dare to state that the employers, oper-
ating the mines for private profit, would not ex-
pend any money for safety measures unless they
were absolutely compelled to do The bureau
does not say that insufficient steps have been taken
to force the bosses to prevent accidents of this
sort
Mining is perhaps the most hazardous occupa-
ton. The dangers confronting the workers in other
industries differ only in frequency and perhaps in
seriousness But the cause of these dangers is the
same in all industries. The capitalist greed for
fabulous dividends is the primary source of the
evil. The workers, in sef-defense, must organize
themselves to remove this condition. to abolish the
Forthcoming system and substitute therefor the
collective ownership and operation of the means of
production and exchange-the Communist society.

The spokesman abroad of the first Workers and
Peasants Republic Soviet Russia, the Soviet am
bassadors, are men and women who take their
lives in their hands the moment they leave the
boundaries of Russia.
The recent attempt on the life of Krassin in Paris
recalls the murder of Vorovsky in Switzerland
cold-blooded a piece of capitalist vengeance as
history records. Only the fear of mass outbursts
among the workers stands between Soviet am
bassadors and death in every country, nations
which boast Of their civilization and which de-
nounce the government of Soviet Russia as gov
eminent of savages.
1--WE cannot shake hands with murderers," says
the righteous Baldwin, but forgery and murder
are commonplaces of British diplomacy every
where. Had the attempt on Krassin's life sue
ceeded there would have been great rejoicing in
Downing street and something said about reaping
the harvest, etc. Murder is not murder when
Soviet ambassador is the victim.
The workers and peasants of Russia have not al
lowed the murder of their spokesman to go I'M
noticed. In Moscow the street on which are all the
foreign embassies, has been named Vorovsky 1t is
an endless reminder to the capitalist diplomats
that the workers and peasants remember vorovsky
and those whose hands are stained with his blood.
They are not allowed to forget that the Russian
workers and peasants remember
The murder of Soviet ambassadors does not re-
tard the revolution but hastens it. That is prob

By Robert Minor

as tho written by the hand Of Anatols-
France in some piece of historical
satyre. For the last act of Gompers
was an international act in this now
internationalized world and in the In
ternationalized struggle of capitalism:
The act of striving to fasten the inn
perialist hangman's moose upon Mex
leo. Morgan, the head of the oil
garchy, was maneuvering to lock the
shackles upon Mexico; and the cir
cumstances required as a first move
the sending of an enormous "loan" to
pave the way for virtual American
occupation Of Mexico. Yet the men,
ace of revolution impeded the way.
A rebellious spirit of Mexican labor
ers was the obstacle. None but
labor leader" could pave the way.
Gompers went to Mexico to fasten
upon the Mexican working class the
miasmic spell of "Gompersism." It is
now even conceivable that the place
for holding the American Federation
Of Labor convention this year was
fixed year ago in the offices of New
York bankers.
"Comrade" Gompers, standing be-
fore "Comrade" Gales, closed yellow
career in the truly international role
Of a "social-derhocrat."
oh, Comrade God, if you be, as they
claim, a social-democrat-then take
"Comrade" Gompers to your bosom;
and the red flames of proletarian revo-
luton lick at his shroud as he
passes.

Gompers---" Social Democrat"

archist') and Yanofsky (the New
York "anarchist"), with "Comrade
Gompers" in the same political boat
in 1924. The thunder of the great
Russian revolution drove them in the
same direction (tho Debs and such
anarchists" as Morton hung back for
while), and it's lightning, the Com
munist International, flashes upon
them now huddled together in the
same corral Of capitalism.
The red baiters, the anti-Bolshe-
viks, the defenders of abstract lib
erty," the democrats" the "anti-so-
cialists" and the Socialists" alike
one and all are the same; the left
wing Of the bourgeoisie, the last
refuge against the revolution whose
name is "Bolshevism." History has
written their collective name: "The
social-democrats." Their brother,
Noske, cemented the name with blood.
There is absolutely no generic diff
ference between the part played by
the Gompers bureaucracy in America
and that played by the "social-demo-
cratic" trade union bureaucracy in
Europe. And the seeming gap be-
tween the American socialist party
and the Gompers bureaucracy has now
completely closed.
Upon Gompers' tombstone we might
write: Anarchist of the Beer-Hall":
or we might just as truly write: $50
cialDemocrat"; or democrat: or
"anti-Bolshevik"-it is all the same.
Wanted-Another "Sam."
And now there is search for one
to succeed him.
What is the nature of this position
that is to be filed? Is it a labor
leader that is to be found? Was Com
pers labor leader?
Gompers was, labor leader only in
the sense that foreman of sweat
shop is labor leader. Gompers lied"
labor for the benefit and profit of the
employers Of labor; he led or drove
labor almost literally and frankly as
chief agent Of the capitalist class
within the sphere of Handling" labor.
If he spoke for concession to labor,
he had in mind invariably not the
maximum that could be done for
labor, but the minimum of sops neces-
sary for the safety of the capitalist
class. If he Unanswered for advan.
tages of position, it was always for
advantages for his and his bureau
cracy's position of foremanship over
labor.
That is not to say that organized
labor did not wiring from capitalism
some temporary gains in the pre-war
period when capitalism could still
throw out some sops to labor. But
Gompers and organized labor were
two different things, and Gompers'
role was always that of holding labor
down to the lowest position possible.
And in the after-war period, when
capitalism in its decline can no longer
produce its ransome from labor's at
tacks but must openly crush labor or
be itself destroyed, Gompers' role be.
came openly the role of deliberate
destruction of the labor movement.
Gompers, dead, is universally hailed
not as a man who won this or that
for the working class, but solely as
