UNITE AGAINST GOOSE-STEP DAY

is healthy sign and shows that even
the reactionaries in control of the
Legion cannot forever keep down
some rank and file sentiment against
more imperialist wars.
Despite the fact that even the
preachers have been rallied to the sup
port of the demonstrations
some of them have condemned the
day, not on the basis of its capitalist,
imperialist character, but because it
will disturb their sweet pacifst ideals
the Workers Party and the Young
Workers League are today holding
meetings in practically every part of
the country as the only political group
actively engaged in counter-demon-
strations to Mobilization Day. These
meetings are the elimination of a
number of meetings held all during
the time since the plans for the day
were announced. Active anti-military
work will continue to be carried on by
the Communists.
Communists Issue Slogans.
The slogans of the Workers Party
and the Young Workers League are:

BLOW AT LABOR
DAILY Fooled
MussOIini Ambassador
at Washington Busy

A desperate effort by the
italian ambassador at Washing
ton, MussoIini's representative
in the United States, to suppress
al Lavoratore," daily organ of
the italian Communists in this
country, failed yesterday when
three detectives, who had been
sent from the federal depart
mont of Chicago left the head
quarters of the newspaper after
an unsuccessful attempt to trap
Antonio Presi, editor of the al
Lavoratore," into making state
ments on which a charge could
be based.
The detectives carried a let
ter from the Italian ambassador
at Washington to the Italian
consul at Chicago, charging
that "Il Lavoratore" has pub
lished facts which it is illegal to
publish, and that the attacks
which it has made on the Fas-
cist government of Italy have
been biased.
Urge mo Mercy"
The letter urges that the federal
department show no mercy to the
editors and managers of the Com
munist daily.
"Is it true that II Lavoratore has
made attacks on the Fascist govern
ment?" one of the detectives de-
manded of Presi.
why don't you get after the CAPT
talist newspapers who have described
the Mussolini dictatorship as black
handed regimen" answered Presi.
''They seem to be in perfect agree
ment with us on that point"
Hangs Charge on Thin Thread.
The occasion for an investigation,
which had been eargerly seized by the
Fascist headquarters at Washington,
was the attempt some weeks ago by
the business manager of the paper,
who was ignorant of the postal reg
ulations, to conduct lottery. The lot
terry was undertaken without the
authorization of the Workers Party.
The refusal of postal authorities to
permit the lottery, the Italian consul
characterized as raid on the head
quarters of the newspaper"

ciety is rotten to the core and this
murder case has turned the K1ieg

killed the poor boy, Peters. Million

Wonderful system is capitalism!
To accumulate wealth is the great
incentive. Therefore radical" law
yers argue that wealth is liability
in court and not an asset; Catholic
prosecuting attorneys forget the
fifth commandment and froth at the

their paymasters, capitalist news

with the interests of the advertising
columns; and preachers when they
are not detained in the divorce
courts, make capital Of out It in
order to drum up more business for
God.
Their incentive for prostituting
themselves is to accumulate wealth
and II is legal, therefore ethical.
The result Of the Loeb-Leopold
trial proves again that there is one
law for the rich and another for the
poor and to those who have eyes TO
see it proves much more.
1t proves that not alone is the
capitalist system which takes from
the workers the greater part OF the
product of their toll. robber sys-

poisons all the institutions that
spring from 1t including courts, col
leges, newspapers and churches.

stroyed.

crooked, dirty game to rob your la
borers!"
Together with this dastardly plan
goes the terrible housing conditions
Of the workers. In the majority of
cases the laborers are housed in
quarters packed like sardines, pre-
senting an appearance very far from
what any civilized community would
permit.
Millions Made in Profits.
This has enabled thirty-two sugar
plantation companies of the Hawaiian
Islands, owning the California &
Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation,
which operates the Crockett sugar re-
finery at San Francisco, to have an
extremely profitable season in 1928,
Notwithstanding some falling off of
the islands output. The plantation
companies sent approximately $4,000
tons of their raw sugar to the Crockett
refinery.
1t is significant to note that Gov.
ernor Wallace H. harrington, appoint
ed by the United States to rule the
islands, is himself large sugar baron,
and 1t is therefore not at all surprising
to find that when he was in Wash
ington, harrington gave glowing re-
ports of conditions in the Pacific
slave pen. The profits of the sugar
lords had been UNNECESSARILY in
creased by the importation of thou
sands of agricultural laborers from the
Philippines.
1t is these workers, of whom there
are about 10000 at present, who are
revolving against their industrial
slavery under American capitalism,
who rule with the direct aid and con-
sent of Washington officialdom, and
who are being shot down for demand
ing that they be accorded the treat
ment of human beings and not of
cattle.

viewer then.
'Yes," replied Wheeler.
