Iron Co., Of the same Rockefeller, that
is. whom he had previously fought
and who had been instrumental In
framing him! In view of his new job,
suspicion was aroused at his previous
actions, but today they are all ST.
fenced. He is state director of the
LaFollette campaign and, like Brutus,
he is an honorable man.
But the same gang that is backing
LaFollette is also backing Sweet and
his appointee who is now running for
senator, Alva B. Adams. To analyze
Adams bit will give an insight into
the type of labor supporter that
Sweet is.
Adams-Antl-Labo Lawyer.
Sweet appointed Adams to fill the
term left vacant by Nicholson at the
time that the shopmen employed on
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad were still locked out. Sweet
had only a short time before been
elected to the governorship with the
support of the American Federation
of Labor's n-Partisan Political Com
mittee. His first act of generosity
and appreciation to labor was the APP
pointmept Of the lawyer of the Sante
Fe, one of the worst labor hating or
porations in the country, to the United
States senate. AS you suspected, dear
reader, this lawyer was none other
but NAlva B. Adams!
On the board of directors of the
Santa Fe can be found, among Others
a gentleman by the name of John w.
Davis, who happens to have been
nominated by the democratic party
to run for president. Davis only with
drew from his directorate after his
nomination, holding on to this Morgan
job with all energy up to the very last
minute. Other directors on this road
are such men as Edward j. Berwind,
of the notorious anti-labor union
mines in Pennsylvania; Ogden L.
Mills, one of the biggest stockholders
in the N. Y. Central Railroad; w. B.
Storey and w. E. Brown, of the famous
Brown Brothers in Philadelphia, who
engineered that little imperialist man
euver in the Caribbean few years
ago.
It is for this railroad that AlvasB.
Adams, now supported by organized
labor in Colorado, was the attorney.
In case there should be any doubt
as to the policy of the Santa Fe, it is
sufficient to recall the railway strike
of 1922, when this road spread the lie
about the abandonment of passengers
on the desert" at Needles, California.

Fit for the Public

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, who has in a brief
period of Office distinguished himself rather
auspiciously as an agent of the government that
does too much talking at the wrong time is again
coming to the FORE This time the unrestrained
secretary is not attacking the Japanese or the Ne
groes. Mr.. Wilbur is now censor of the fitness of
"a certain play before New York audiences
''What Price Glory" is play that has aroused
considerable approval among many New York
workers because it tells the truth about the life and
sufferings of the marines The play sheds light
on the realities of which all too many workers
in the metropolis know from their own costly ex-
perience to be true.
This has brought storm of protest from the
archdemagogic Tammany lskspittle, who is now
the mayor of the greatest city in the land, John
F. Hylan. The shadow of the once VIGOROUSLY
corrupt boss Charles F. Murphy, has appointed
committee of citizens, leading ones of course like
admirals, police commissioners, and maior-gen-
erals, to decide on the fitness of the play for public
consumption. Then, not to be outdOne in the con
Germ for the welfare of the morality of the masses
the secretary TO the navy breaks into print along
the same Puritanic lines.
Mr. Wilbur has had plenty of experience in
preventing the working masses from going
wrong" that is from doing anything against the
interests of the employing class. Mr.. Wilbur is to
no small extent responsible for the fact that Tom
Mooney is in jail today. The same "safety-seekng''
secretary of the navy is threatening to invoke
the federal statutes against the players Mr.. Will
burs modesty is by the fact that the play
is "full of gutter language which, he would have
us believe, is no longer to be found in the navy
Then, how can one associate the uniform of the
United States navy with vulgarityl The heavens
protest! And what will the Haitians the Nicarag-
uans the Mexicans, and the Dominicans say about
such Misrepresentation of the gentle marines who
have treated them kindly in their civlizing ex-
petitions?
Here is where the real difficulty lies Here is why
the navy officials who are sworn to defend the So
called sacred rights of freedom of opinion, speech
press, and assembly guaranteed by the constitution
are the first ones to the employers in denying
these muchvaunted rights to the masses. The moral
outburst on the part of Mr.. Wilbur and the insig-
nitcant Hyan is only a screen. 1t is not the vul-
garity but the truthful picture of war that the
play in question presents which is causing the CON
Germ of our employing class hooligans in and out
of uniform.

The latest agricultural year book just issued by
the department of agriculture ought to find its
way into the hands of every workingman and poor
farmer 1t is an official volume of evidence giving
the lie to all the rOseate contentious made by
the reactionary politicians about the conditions of
the farming masses.
We draw the attention of our readers to such
outstanding findings these in the survey of what
the farming masses are up against:
Within the last five years the value of farm
property has declined more than twenty billion
dollars Within a single year more than million
farmers were driven from their homes by the
economic depression and their inability to make
ends meet Since the close of 1922, 1871 of the
farmers of the wheat and corn states have been
bankrupt. The proportion of tenant farmers who
have been robbed of their property has been even
greater.
Worse than that The social degradation visited
upon these farming masses who were dispossessed
is a curse that no figures and statistical reports
can plumb adequately Let us take the picture Of
this damnation of the farming population out of
their mouths out of the records prepared and
supervised by secretary Of agriculture Wallace,
himself. He says
1.-THE losses have not been due to an ineficiency
ON the part Of the farmers Practically all of them
were incurred by men who had been doing fairly
well until they entered the period of drastic defa-

The Political MIDDLE in Colorado

This canard was later exploded by
the district passenger agent, E. H.
Dallas. and By Albert E. Coyle, editor
OF the Locomotive Engineers Journal.
Coyle is now also supporting LaFol-
lette!
A Silent Adam.
Adams was the attorney for the
Santa Fe at the time the road was
carrying on its bitter struggle against
the workers, and he uttered not sin
gle word in support of the strikers.
Today he gets the support of the la
Dor movement there.
Aside from the Adams buncombe
that is being spread by the labor fax.
ers in the state, there is another ele-
ment of confusion. The political
field is cluttered up by a would-be
progressive party" which put up a
slate of presidential electors for La
Toilette and Wheeler in the hope of
attracting votes, but was later repudi-
ated by Frank A. Harrison, LaFol-
lette's regional director. 1t is composed
Of disgruntled elements who failed to
receive an opportunity to feed at the
Davis pork barrel.
And on top of it all comes the farci-
cal Farmer-Labor party, which is nei-
Their farmer nor labor, and which will
probably have state ticket in the
field this fall. For the last few years
a few individuals have been paid by
the republican party to navigate this
decoy in order to draw some votes
away from the democrats.
A Political Chinese Puzzle.
What muddle! Labor endorses
LaFollette, whose campaign commit
tee is headed by traitor to labor;
also Adams; Adams gets the o. X.
of Sweet, who in turn supports Davis;
Adams was attorney for the reaction
airy corporation on which Davis was
director. Then again: Labor en-
dorses Wheeler, who is running with
LaFollette; Wheeler supports Walsh
for senator from Montana, altho
Walsh has been condemned by the
Montana State Federation of Labor
as an enemy of the workers; Walsh
supports Davis; Davis gets the aid of
Adams who is endorsed by labor or
CARNATIONS that are backing the OPP
ponent of Davis, LaFollette.
No, this is not Chinese puzzle. 1t
is only an example of the maze into
which labor has been drawn by it's
failure to follow policy of indepen-
dent political action.

of fiscal and foreign trade questions it

Russia's international relations. This
is true despite the fact that the au-
thors set out to deal only with the
problems of public finance and not at
all with the present economic condi-
tions and diplomatic status of the I'm
ion of Socialist Soviet Republics.
This book does not deal with the
prevailing economic condition of So
Wet Russia 1t limits itself to the
official pre-war facts of Russia's for
eign debt. the effects of the imperialist
war on Russia's international status
in the capitalist realm of commerce
and industry, Russia's pre-war export
and import capacities, her budgetary
trend, and her financial standing.
The authors discussion of the role
Of the United States in Soviet Russian
reconstruction is interesting The
crux of their attitude is most instruc-
tive, as can be seen from the follow
ing: American exports of wheat to
the continent of Europe were on the
wane before the war. Profound econ
omic dislocations produced by the war
and its aftermath temporarily gave a
great stimulus to American wheat and
other agricultural exports, but the
tide is already ebbing. Looking for
ward, exports of American wheat to
the continent of Europe will be of
dwindling Importance, even If Russian
wheat production does not regain its
former position. :"
