Daugherty Defes Investigation

Congress has no right to investigate his admins
tration of the Department of Justice according to
the malodorous Daugherty, because this might
bIacken his character before the public. And he
backs up his defiance with a decision of court
somewhere or other.
Daugherty will, no doubt, get away with his
claim for immunity. Not only because he is still
an influential factor in politics; not only because
he is backed by much financial power, but above
all because there are so many politicians mixed
up in his crooked deals that hardly a man-jack
among them dares to provoke Daugherty into
spilling all the beans.
So we have the spectacle of Daugherty swapping
his fingers at the holy investigating committee,
the investigation itself pushed into the background
by its selfrighteous hackers, the LaFollettes,
Magnus Johnsons and other socalled progressives
joining in the conspiracy of suppression of the rot
ten mess.
If the workers of America want to really uncover
the corruption of capitalist government, they viii
find necessary to follow the example of the Rus
sian workers go into the files of government them
selves after having chased the ickspittles of CAPT
talsm out of power.

Saving the Children

Soon the cumbersome legal machinery of the
government will be set in motion to ratify the
amendment to the constitution proposed by the
house and senate for the control of the labor power
OF individuals under eighteen years of age.
After six years of unsuccessful efforts to enact
law regulating the employment of children in
industry and on the farm the various labor and
social reform groups are now in position to Get
all the blessings of government aid in their behalf
We do not want to discourage the hopefuls Yet
there is much truth in the statement that to be
forewarned is to be forearmed
The proposed amendment is to be placed before
the states for ratification either by their legisa
lures or special constitutional conventions Ac
ceptance of the senate measure by threefourths of
the states is condition prerequisite to it's becom
ing the fundamental law of the land. This is a
long and painful process. Besides there is no tell
ing what may happen to the measure when it gets
into the hands of the legislatures which are only
puppet shows of the southern cotton and textile
interests. Strong opposition viii also be encoun-
tered in certain northern states.
Should the necessary threefourths not be Sc
cured, then the movement for the regulation Of
the employment of children will be put back for
years. The supreme court has knocked out as I'M
constitutional two socalled child labor laws. A
uCACdC III inc ClOIb " put over Jue amendment
will be disastrous. At best, even if the states
accept the proposal to amend the constitution,
then the country will be confronted with the task
of enacting specific legislation. More time lost
in controlling the grinding of childrens lives into
fabulous profits for the employers and in a. con-
tinuation of the exploiters policy of underpaying
the children in order to lower the general stand
dard of living and keep the whole working class
in subiection
The tragic farce of attempting to eradicate the
antisocial effects of child labor and at the same
time maintaining capitalism is brought into sharp
focus here in the effort to the ponderous slow
moving machinery of a strikebreaking, antisocial,
capitalist government. The United States govern
ment moves rapidly and functions efficiently only
when it is engaged in the task of smashing the
ranks of the workers and serving the owning class

illusiOned?

The thesis on the united front
passed by the fourth congress of the
Communist International declares
that "the interests of the Communist
movement demand support of the
watchword of united working class
front"
The resolution on the tactics of the
Communist International, passed at
the fourth congress, declares: THE
Communists are interested in bring
ing about the closest union Of all the
forces of the working class fighting
against capitalism" and again that
"The most important thing in the tao
tics of the united front is and remains
the agitational and organizational
unification of the working Masses"
In the face of this clear-cut state
ment, LaFoIlette makes the misstate-
ment, in his recent attack on the
June II Farmer-Labor convention at
st. Paul that: 1.-THE Communists have
admittedly entered into this political
movement only to divide and confuse

The statement Of the resolution or

formist leaders OF the Second, Two

quoted statement, applies with equal
force TO LaFollette. Speaking of
these reformers, the resolution says:
"They have shown by their behavior
that when IL comes to a question OF

their own watchword OF unity. In all
such cases II is the duty of the Com

OF its constituent sections in particu-
lar, to expose TO the masses the hy-
pocrisy of these reformist leaders
who prefer unity with the bourgeoisie
to unity with the revolutionary work
ers. But the refusal to accept

Philanthropy or Business

Announcement of gift of $5,O00,000 to Harvard
university by George f. Baker, New York banker,
will doubtless bring forth the usual flood of gush-
ing editorials from the kept press applauding the
philanthropy" of this act and pointing out how
it proves the divine right of capitalists to
tinue to rule over us. But is the $50O0000 trans
action philanthropy or is it business?
This particular gift bears more than the usual
marks of business. Ordinarily it would be enough
that the rich banker gives to the institution that
trains the sons of the ruling class Depending
upon the capitalstc nature ingrained into all such
wealthy institutions the gvers of millions con-
slider it good business to demonstrate their close
property rights the universities by ladling out
the money squeezed from the workers, in the same
fashion as gifts to members of the family. But
Baker is more than ordinarily businesslike. He
makes conditions for his gift.

capitalists specifically provides that it is to teach
business" 1t is to be permanent endowment of
the Harvard Graduate School of Business Admin

of exploitation by means of which $5,OOOOOO was
