The Cost Of Profits

Millions of workers are crippled every year
while at work grinding out profits for their en-
ployers. Thousands are killed producing dividends
for the capitalist class. Recently a survey was
made of the number of workers wounded and killed
annually in the wealthiest state of the country,
New York. 1t was then found that the totals were
CHASTITY enough to compare with the casualties
suffered in major military operations of big wars.
Capitalist industry not only robs the workers
of a large portion of their product, but in its
effort to pile up huge profits the employing class
has very little regard for the life and limb of the
workingman. The latest investigation made by
the American Association for Labor Legislation
of the extent of industrial accidents in the United
States sheds illuminating information on the price
paid by the working class in producing fabulous
dividends for the ruling class.
During the last year industrial accidents have
increased on the average at least 80 per cent.
In more than half of the states having cOmpensa-
ton laws the increase of industrial accidents
ranged from six to ffty-three per cent
We can account for some of the increase perhaps
by the fact that industry has developed in the past
year Then there are also certain unavoidable
accidents incurred in the operation of machinery.
But it has never been denied that great number
of accidents can be prevented thru the nstalIa-
ton of safety appliances, thru more scientific
organization of production, thru the abolition Of
speeding up systems, and other measures of this
character. All of these measures are taboo to the
bosses because they tend to lower the immediate
profits the garnering of which alone serve as the
basis of capitalist production. Hence, the work
ing class pays.
| Another and even more significant phase of this
problem is the fact that in large measure the
number Of accidents is swelled thru the employ
ment of inefficient, unframed workers during
strikes. The hiring of strikebreakers not only
tends to cripple and kill the mised workingmen
but also makes for deterioration of the machinery
which has disastrous effect the normally
employed workers. This practice of the masses
takes root in the same profit system responsible
for the losses of workers in many other ways
The cost to the workers Of piling up the gigantic
profits for the bosses is terrific. The price the
working class is paying for the maintenance OF
capitalism is increasing 1t is time to stop paying

zeal" Coolidge Squirms

"Cautious Cal' Coolidge has been forced to come
to the defense of the remaining political bandits
that he harbors in his cabinet of crooks" He
announces that neither Secretary of State Hughes,
nor Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is going to
resign. And the president adds that he has no
intention of quitting himself These are brave
words. But brave words are often spoken imme-
diately before downfall.
If Coolidge were head of any government in
Europe, and reversed any one of the many
issues on which his administration has been repudi
ated, he would have been kicked out long ago.
How different in the United States In Europe,
when a government loses the confidence of par
lament it sends in its resignation and "a new
election is ordered Here the president just
issues statement that he has no intention of
resgnng.
But it is significant that Silent Cal" has been
forced into the open. Hughes was repudiated by
congress the question Of Japanese exclusion.
But this is only mild zephyr compared to the storm
that has been bowling about the head of the
tary of state, especially since it has been shown
that he is only spokesman of Standard Oil in
governmental high places
Coolidge also states that Mellon will remain even
il he doesn't like the tax reduction bill But how
about Melons Bookkeeping activities, his aid in
many forms TO millionaire tax dodgers, and numer.
GUS other high crimes and misdemeanors?
But Coolidge was not in any great hurry to put
either DENLY or Daugherty out of his cabinet
But they had to 90.
The fight will go on to drive Hughes, Mellon
Hoover, Davis, Wallace and the other Wall Street
agents out of Coolidges cabinet The demand to
'Impeach Coolidge himself will gain in strength.
Capitalist rule in Washington will be exposed con.
demned and finally thrown into the discard by the
nations awakened workers and farmers.

German shipping claims to be fight
