I'm GERMANY USED

Prisons Are Filled with
Political Prisoners
BY ]. W. A. Press Service


Justice is running wild in Germany.
Armed with the powers of state, drum.
ken with rage and prejudice, it runs
amuck. -SIts victims are exclusively
workers.
German justice has made itself the
accomplice of all monarchist conspir-
ators against the republic. Some OF
the old imperial generals, each OF
them guilty a hundred times of high
treason against the republican form
of government, has never been taken
up by justice. The peoples court" "
formed by the new republic against
the old monarchist plotters, are man.
ned by those very plotters and used
against the working-class defenders
of the republic.
This travesty on justice has filled
the German prisons with politicals out
Of the ranks of the workers. In the
first four months of the year 1924
$3.50 indictments. were returned in
Germany for alleged political crimes

full, would have reinstated the run

are all free while of the workers who
organized for the defense of the re

still forty-one in prison.
Ludendorff, the arch-conspirator
against the republican form of gov
eminent, is feted turnout Germany
as a national hero while the workers
who organized counter movement
against the contemplated monarchist
coup, were prosecuted and more than
two thousand years of Imprisonment
was pronounced against them.
Sentences Bring Much Misery
Between June and September, 1924
|-2,233 workers were sentenced to 1,
$50 years of Imprisonment for alleged
political offenses. The victims of these
judicial crimes are either languish
ing in prison where they are cruelty
mistreated, and sometimes murdered
outright, or they are the families OF
the victims-innocent women and

His Greetings

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1o.-A
fairly long string Of presidential
piffle was issued from the White
House yesterday morning formally
thanking the American boobery for
falling for republican propaganda and
making the hard choice between
Coolidge and chaos.
"Me and God"s
Laying aside the little matter Of
terrorizing the workers by threaten
ing closed factories, and the other
little matter OF several millions spent
in making them believe it, Calvin
raised his eyes fervently to the top
of Teapot Dome and announced: II
can only plainly acknowledge that this
result has been brought to pass thru
the work of a divine providence of
which l am but one instrument"
Inasmuch as the divine providence
Of capitalism elected him, Coolidge an
nounces that he is ''rededicating
America to the service Of God and
man." in Thanksgiving proclamation
he issued at once. In it he modestly
claimed that 1--WE" have financially
assisted" other nations, quite forget
ting to add that I'VE" expect both the
interest and the capital back.
Gold Dust Twins Perform
After promising to serve call thu
people" capitalist and working class
alike, Coolidge answered the slightly
ironic telegram Of congratulations from
the democrat also-ran, John Wall
street Davis, in which Davis expressed
a hope" that the new administration
would Ensure to the welfare OF the
country" Silent Cal assured him that
it would and thanked Davis for his
patriotic sentiments"

that workers consume.
6. A decrease in working hours is
Of more benefit to the workers than
an increase in wages, other things be-
ing equal, because it lessons the press
ure Of competition between workers
and tends to bring the raise in wages
after it. The increase in wages does
not carry with it tendency to shorten
hours.
z. A decrease in the length of the
working day is a direct reduction of
the rate of exploitation and at the
same time an increase in the rate of
wages. 1t further provides the
worker with more leisure for study,
organization, and political activity, all
of which increases his relative social
power and his ability to increase the
value Of his labor-power.
s. A general increase in the hours
Of labor for all workers would result
in an immediate decrease in the total
amount Of wages paid to all workers.
because fewer workers would be re-
quired to do the same amount Of labor
At the same time it would start

8. Labor" is that which gives
value to its products, measured by its
duration in time; "labor-power" is the
energy stored up in the worker, which
he sells as commodity to the CAPT.
talist, and which the capitalist uses to
produce values greater than its value
(price or wage), which is done by ex-
tending the labor" time beyond that
necessary for its reproduction.
10. The value of commodity is not
determined by the value of the com.
modify labor-power used in its pro
duction, but by the duration of labor,
or by the labor time, socially neces-
sary for its production. It is the diff.
ference between the time which labor
is actually expended for the capitalist,
as against that time necessary to re.
produce the value of the labor-power.
that is the source of surplus value.

BIZ W. FRANcIs AHERN

Federated Press Stan correspondent)
RABAUL, New Guinea, Nov. TO-
While the Australian federal govern
ment was busy assuring the league of
nations that there was no truth in the
statements that the natives in New
Guinea new inundated to Australia)
were being shot down and murdered,
one Of the. governments own magis-
trates was inquiring into the indis-
criminate slaughter of 4 native men,
6 native women, and native chill
dren, one babe at breast.
The evidence at the inquiry at
Rabaul Sept. 10 and II was SO revolt
ing that the Australian government
has been forced into a searching in
vestigation of the expedition respon-
sible for the crime.
Slave Recruiters Arrive.
Last February a recruiter named
James O'Dowd was operating in the
Postdamhafen district Recruiting is
the respectable name for securing in
dentured labor. 1t is slaye-running
The natives are secured for work on
the plantations, the recruiters being
paid $35 per head for each adult
slave, and SIS for each boy slave.
O'Dowd roped in three sons Of a
native chief named Yassouri. The
boys escaped and returned to their
village, protesting against their
seizure. O'Dowd proceeded to secure
them again, and fight ensued.
Natives Revolt.
The natives of the village sought to
protect the sons Of their chief. O'Dowd
was speared and killed. An expedi-
ton proceeded to the village and
wiped it out. Only two native males
and one native female escaped. Sixteen
natives, men and women and chill
dren, we're slaughtered, including the
three wives of chief Yassouri
The evidence was of such a cold
blooded nature that magistrate Wan
liss said "If this ferocious treatment
was melted out to these people 1t has
an important bearing on the relations
of the natives to the administration.
A searching inquiry must be made
into the conduct of the expedition"

"Wage-Labor and Capital"
1. What determine the value Of 10
hours OF labor?
2. What determines the value OF the
labor-power expended in 10 hours of
labor?
8. What determines the amount Of
surplus value available to the CAPT
talist from the labor Of the worker?
4. Why do we say that a wage is the
price Of labor-power, nots the price of
labor?
8. What point Of similarity is there
In economics between slave-labor and
wage-labor?
6. Are profits regularly made under
capitalism by selling commodities
above their value? How can profits
be made by selling commodities at
their value?
Z. Why do the capitalists always
want to increase the hours Of labor,
even tho they pay an hourly rate,
while the workers will generally want
to decrease the hours?
8. Can the capitalist make more
profit out of long hours, while paying
time-and-a-half rates for overtime,
than he would paying regular rates for
short hours?
8. When capitalist buys raw ma
terial and labor-power, and apulies the
labor power to the raw material to
produce a new commodity, what de-
termines the value of the new com.
modify?
10. How does the capitalist realize
the surplus value crystalllzed in the
commodity?

Answers to last weeks questions.
1. Labor time" is tie primary
measure of value. It can therefore
have no value itself, except in terms
of itself, and when translated into
money or price simply takes another
form of measure for labor time" The
value of labor-power," on the con
trary, is not a measure or determin-
ant of the value of the products of
labor, but is itself determined by the
labor time" necessary to produce the
'1abor-power"
2. A general increase of purchasing
power by the workers would result in
an Increased demand for those things
which workers ordinarily buy, the
necessaries of life, but would not in
crease the demand for luxuries except
the most ordinary, nor OF machinery
and other means Of production.
3. A general increase of wages
would temporarily increase the price
Of the necessaries Of life by increasing
the demand above the supply estab-
lished by the previous demand.
4. Such a general increase in price
would be but temporary, because the
increased price would raise profits, at.
tract capital from other industries
paying lower rate of profit, and thru
competition between capitalists reduce
the prices to the former level by in
creasing the supply to equal the de-
mand.
5. The re-establishment of supply to
demand indicated in question number
four would change the distribution of
capital among the various branches Of
industry, because it would require
more capital for the production Of
necessaries Of life than heretofore.
and less capital would be available for
the production Of other commodities.
In other words, more workers would
