was won by our comrades in Bavaria
TACT number three is the collapse
Of the center BY the same token
by which the workers rally to the ex-
IRENE Left, the bourgeois elements
rally to the extreme Right, i. e. to
fascism. The pacifyers, the COM
promisers, the preachers Of social col
laboration the prophets Of all-healing
bourgeois democracy are simply melt
ing away. The decay Of the Social
Democracy is, perhaps, even quicker
process than the disintegration Of
purely bourgeois liberalism. The Soc
ial-Democracy, by becoming an ap-
pendix to the capitalist state and by
defending private property against the
Revolutionary workers, has become
historically useless. Comrade Trotzky,
recently provoked great merriment all
over Russia by the following remark:
"The English WORKER" he said, will
ask himself: why should scratch be-
hind my right ear with my left hand
Why should / support Mcdonald who
takes orders from the liberal bour-
geoisie, when l can meet the same
bourgeoisie myself face to face?"
This is still more true about the Ger
man Social-Democracy Those of the
American comrades who still remem-
Der the neutrality-suspicious. Social
Democracy Of pre-war times and who
have not seen it in action (for reac-
tion) afterwards, should keep in mind
that there is practically no difference
between the German Social-Democracy
of the present and liberal bourgeois
party OF the pre-war epoch, such as,
for instance, the Russian Kadets. The

IN THE LAND OF GLOOM = 1M1ozeW
By m. OLGIN

German Social-Democracy is not even
using a socialist phraseology any lon
ger ct has substituted social con-
science" for class consciousness and
class-struggle.) The German "Vor-
waerts" is no more liberal than used
to be the "Berliner Tageblatt" in 1912.
l have personally read the following
classic remark in the "Vorwaerts" Of
April 8: "The Russian Communists
denounce bourgeois class justice in
the capitalist countries, while they
themselves practice proletarian class
Justice in the Russian Soviet states"
Proletarian class justice is equally in
acceptable to the German "Vorwaerts"
as is capitalist justice. This illustra-
ton alone may suffice.
IN practice the German Social-Demo-
cracy offers nothing to the working
class which could not be and is not
being offered by the liberal portion Of
the bourgeoisie. Fighting against capt.
talism is criminal because it under
mines the economic foundation Of the
fatherland. Demands presented to the
bosses must be mild or else capitalism
will not be able to get its due divi-
dends. Reparation bills must be ac-
knowledged and paid because the Ger
man army is not strong enough to

at the election. This country, famous
by its fascism, by the Hitler counter
revolution, by the shame of the Hitler
Ludendorff trial, by assaults on the
Communist workers, by Imprisonment
of Communist leaders and shutting
down of Communist papers, had, at the
April landtag election, cast over ZOO
600 votes for the Communist ticket,
four times as much as on the previous
election. 1t should be noted that an
open election campaign could not be
carried on by our Bavarian comrades,
and that litel ature could not be dis
tributed freely. 1t should also be re-
membered that Bavaria is a predom-
inently agricultural state and that the
bulwarks of Communism are the cen
trail. northern and northwestern in
dustrial regions.
THE Bavarian vote shows the trend
| of the revolutionary sentiment
among the German workers. Other
signs Of the same revolutionary char
acter are not lacking. The labor move
ment in Germany has reached state
where, either it is Communism, that
| is to say class-struggIe and revolution
or it is nothing at all.

classes and so much contempt for CAPT
talist law and order that any shock is
capable to provoke an explosion. I'VE
have reached the end of the rope
1--WE have nothing to lose" Where this
sentiment is widespread, revolution
is abroad.
THE first manifestation Of the
strengthening will to struggle
among the working masses is the
wave of strikes. When l arrived in
Hamburg, baggage had to be carried
by the passengers themselves ito the
great and bitter resentment Of the
paunch-carrying German "buergers)
because the porters had gone on
strike. This was the first skirmish
of an impending alderman railroad
strike. The strike has been averted
by the compromise of the union
bureaucrats, but the workers are not
content with the results. There has
been a partial strike of the printers.
There is a miners strike impending.
There is a strike fermentation among
millions. This in spite of the A. d. G.
liz. (Allgemeiner Deutscher Gewerk-
schafts- Bund-the German A. f. Of ID
which tries to smother the movement.
second manifestation Of the Ger
IN man workers revolt is their
switching over to the Left. The Com
munist movement is growing by leaps
and bounds. A situation has been ere

would not claim to give here an ade-
quate account of the German economic
and political situation. | will only con
fine myself to a few indisputable
facts which force themselves upon
every observer as soon as he begins
to orientate himself on German soil.
Low Wages, Unemployment, starva-
ton.
TACT number one is the miserable
situation of the German working
class. With the sterilization Of the
mark, prices in Germany, excepting
rents, are on the same general level
as are the prices in the United States
The average wage of German work
ing man is somewhere in the vicinity
Of twenty marks week. Peak wages
for the highest skilled workers (such
as the members of the printers union)
do not exceed thirty-six marks; after
dedueting taxes. sick benefit dues and
other obligatory payments, the highest

labor. His wife told me that, as rule
the German worker eats meat only
once a week. The life of the unskilled
laborers is still worse. The life OF the
unemployed is hell. There is. a move
ment afoot to change the eight-hour
day for ten. In some cases it has been
accomplished. That there must be dis
satisfaction among the workers under
conditions like these, is easy to
imagine.
The Revolt Of the Workers.
TACT number two is this bitter
revolutionary dissatisfaction of the
Iaborino masses. The wave of resent
ment is growing. The readiness to
fight becomes more manifest every
day. The masses have come to after
the defeat Of last October. In reality,
the masses had never been subdued.
It is true that long years Of hopeless
ness under the treaty of Versailles,
long years of underfeeding and actual
starvation have Slapped the vitality OF
the German working class as whole
and have thrown a portion OF the
workers into a state of nerveless
stupor. But even among the most de-
vitalized elements shoulders the fire
Of revolt. Under the ashes OF despair
there is so much hatred for the ruiing

fight the French. Communists must
be downed and smashed because they
voice the hatreds of the masses and
lead in revolutionary fights, against
the only order which is possible at
present, namely the capitalist order.
This is, roughly, the theology OF the
once famous Social-Democratic party.
This is the tone and the trend OF
everyday actions. When was in Ger
many, the Dawes committee published
its report. The Social-Democratic press
was more docile and more crestfallen
as regards the crazy bill than was the
liberal press. In the strike wave, the
Social Democratic union bureaucrats
try to compromise as quietly as is de-
sirable for the bosses and on terms
as mild as would only keep the work
ers from striking. When it comes,
however, to prosecuting the Commun-
lists in the "Gewerkschaften" (unions)
or even outlawing entire red sections
Of the unions, the same Social-Demo-
Gratis manifest unusual initiative and
vigor.
The natural result is catastrophal
loss of Social-Democratic prestige
among the mass of the workers, the
collapse Of Social-Democracy as po-
litical factor, a rush Of the workers Of
any degree of class-consciousness to
the sphere of the revolutionary Com
munist influence and revolutionary ac-
ton. German SocialDemocracy is no
more" this is a remark repeated in
Germany with the same certainty as
we, in America, speak of the disap-
pearance of the S. p

maid worker brings home no more
than thirty marks. The dollar buys
now a little over four marks. Those
of the German workers who are happy
enough to have full-time continuous
employment, earn as much as 80 to
$3.50 a week. The number OF such Tor
Inmates. however, is not very large

 InM 4%qH.h1KALIp %

The Memphis Special" Train No. ss on the Southern railroad, bound from Memphis to New York. was wrecked near Chase. seven miles east of Huntsville. early today when 1t struck a broken rail and several cars left the track. lodging against an embankment in a shallow cut, which prevented them from turning over.
 Ten persons were injured, nine of them so slightly that they were not required to go to tine hospital. and were allowed to proceed on their way after treatment by railroad surgeons. D. L. Thorn of Chattanooga was brought here suffering from a sprained back and it was announced tonight that he was resting we'll and his injuries were not serious.
 The baggage car. two day coaches and two Pullmans left the rails and the trucks of the third Pullman were off, the last car remaining on the track. Traffic was tied up nearly IF hours, the wrecking crew getting all clear at 1850 this afternoen. No. 35, twin of the wrecked train, passed over the spot just five minutes be- fore the smashup. The trains passed at Chase.
