delude the workers into the belief
that they had voice in the affairs
of the government. However, their
experience in recent years has be-
gun to disillustion millions of work
ers who now recognize the govern
ment as the form of the dictator
ship of the ruling class.
In the state of Michigan, of course
the same struggle goes on.
Michigan Rich State.
Among these United States which
compose the wealthiest nation in
the world, Michigan is one of the
best endowed with the resources
which form the basis of modern life.
The copper and iron ranges of the
Upper Peninsula, the vast water
power thruout the state, with highly
developed industry and agriculture,
form the material basis for a full
and happy life for every useful
worker.
This wealth,-ore, water power,
forests, mills and mines,-have
passed rapidly into the hands Of
few wealthy overlords. The owners
agree that the workers shall pro-
due only when profit can be real
lied.
Not long ago the Michigan nation
al guard was used against the COP
per miners in the Upper PENN
sula. Not only striking miners but
wives and children were shot to
death. Recently the state and

passed at the demand of the en-
ployers' associations. The state
used the so-called state constabu-
larry, the most militarized police
force in the state. State constabu-
laries are created in industrial
states for use in strikes, because the
local police, recruited from among
the friends and relatives of the
workers, often refuse to act against
strikers. The Workers Party Of
Michigan urges all workers to keep
these facts in mind.
Child Labor Evil.

tention to child labor in Michigan,
especially in the sugar beet fields.

MICHIGAN COMMUNISTS ON BALLOT

Charles B. Warren, author OF the
republican party platform. He is
the millionaire proprietor of extens-
i've beet fields where children toll.
While he was ambassador in Mex
leo the importation Of Mexican beet
field workers was continued for the
purpose of lowering living condi-
lions and therefore wages in Michi-
gan.
Michigan is an open shop, or Am
erican plan, state. The unions are
relatively weak, factory unions be-
ing practically non-existent. This
condition is reflected in the high
rate of profits, especially in, the au-
tomobile industry, which is alter
nately at boom and panic; -witness
the complete stoppage of 1921 and
the present crisis. Unemployment
is bound to be particularly frequent
and acute in this state where the
automobile industry is concentrated,
because the speed up system which
makes for such conditions has
reached the highest degree in the
automotive industry.
To wipe out these conditions the
system that is responsible for them
must be abolished. That is the mis-
sion of the working class.
Warns Against LaFolletteism.
The Workers Party particularly
warns the workers against relying
on the delusion OF LaFolletteism.
Unfortunately, the old leadership
of the organized labor movement is
leading the workers to LaFollette.
He favors the present capitalist sys-
tenn.
The Workers Party is organizing
politically for victory over capital
ism. 1t calls upon all workers to
join its ranks. 1t calls on all work
ers to support its candidates.
The Workers Party of Michigan
in addition to the national demands
has adopted the following state
planks:
1. Revision of the Workmen's
Compensation Law to provide for
compensation to the injured amount
ing to their regular wage. Occupa-
tional diseases to be treated the
same as accidents.
2. A graduated state income tax
to apply on all incomes over $4,000
a year.
3. Enactment of legislation pro-
hibiting the eviction of unemployed
for non-payment of rent.
4. Employment Of union labor on
all public buildings and public
works.
5. Abolition of the state constabu.
larry.

lists Battle for Reaction
(sy ROsta News Agency


PEKlNG, Aug. 20. (By Mail.)
in view of the interest shown
in the local press for the Afghan
developments, the Rosra News
Service is in a position to COM
municate the following:
The present ruler of Afghan
istan, Emir Ammanulah Khan,
proclaimed his independence
from Britain in 1919, when he
overthrow his predecessor, who
had been faithful slave of the
British.
UP to the year of 1919, Afghanistan
was not nationally free, as Britain did
not allow that country to have rela-
tions with the outer world, and the
Afghanistan government had to carry
on all its foreign affairs thru the
British authorities.
Friendly Toward Soviet Rule.
After proclaiming the independence
of his country in 1919, Ammanulah
Khan entered upon negotiations with
Soviet Russia, and the latter appoint
ed an ambassador to Kabul, conclud-
ed a treaty with and recognized the
independence Of Afghanistan.
Then Britain had to follow suit af-
ter Soviet Russia, namely, she recog-
nized the independence of Afghan.
istan, concluded a treaty embodying
this recognition of independence. and
providing for an exchange Of diplo-
matte representatives between Kabul
and London.
The result was that today the dip
1omatic corps at Kabul consists of the
representatives of the Union Of Soviet
Socialist Republics, Great Britain
France, Italy, Persia and Turkey.
Quite naturally, however, such
Strengthening of Afghanistan was not
to the liking of certain quarters in
England, which in spite of the exist
ence of MacDonald's Tabor cabinet,
were still counting the old Curzon
policy Of strangling the countries Of
the East and, in particular, Afghan
istan.
British Agents Busy.
The instruction which has now
been stirred against the ruling Emir
is directed by British agents, who
have put forth an agent of their own
as 'pretendant" to the Emir's throne
fhe task imposed upon this pre-
tendant is, of course, to nuIlify all the
attempts of the present Emir to es-
tablish intercourse with other coun-
tries, to render null and void all his
internal reforms, and, generally, to
bring down Afghanistan to the rank
of other vassal states Of British India.
That would mean then that Afghan
istan would, as before 1919, be part
of India again.
It is quite curious, under such con-
ditions, that Reuters Service, in it's
desire to conceal the truth, is making
no attempt to find the reasons of the
actual insurrectional movement
against the Emir in the alleged work
Of would-be Soviet agents.
silly Charge Exploded.
Now, as mentioned above, Soviet
Russia was the first to support Emir
Ammanulah Khan and by her support
she ensured the independence of At
ghanistan, and, truly, there could
scarcely be anyone so naive as to be.
lieve that Soviet agents should today
be working for the enforcement at
Kabul of British hireling.
