war, advise these treacherous lead
ers" Of labor, deliver yourself to the
war-makers!
Glass Struggle Necessary.
There is but one effective war
against war, and that is the war
against the war-makers, against the
capitalists, against the capitalist die
tatorship. The class struggle is the
very basis of any effective action
against imperialist wars.
Here is the reason why the paciflsts
turn out to be, in reality, lieutenants
of the militarists. Silly preachings
OF nonresistance, of social peace, of
humanity" of the evils of class
struggle, all serve to weaken the
working class. Insofar as the work
ing class is weak, the war-mak-
ing capitalist class is strong. And
being Strong, it throws the workers
into battle one group against the 9TH
er, whenever its greed or its profits
seem to make that desirable.
Nothing can cause the capitalist
class to shrink back from war except
the threat Of proletarian revolution.
And nothing can really prevent that
war, except the carrying thru of such
a revolution.
There is war in the air. War in
the Far East, over the Asiatic mar
kets; war in the BaI1kans, over the
spoils of the last war; war in Europe,
war in South America, war all over
the world, threatens while the CAPT
talists continue to rule.

Socialist Treachery

Following up its consistent record of betrayal
of the German working class for ten years, the
German Social Democratic Party, in convention
in Berlin has voted to base its policy upon accept
ance of the Dawes report on reparations. This
means that it has voted to place the German work
ing class under the combined slavery of German
Entente Imperialism, with a frightening of the
working day and starvation wages for years to
come.
workers 1t is also a knife in the back of the
working class of every capitalist country. 1t is be-
travail of the international working class. For the
products of the sweated German labor, with its
long hours and miserable wages, will be turned
over to the mperialists of the world as tremend-
GUS club with which to beat down the standards
of British, French, and American workers. The
German socialists, by their vote to support Nor
gan, are enlisting the German unions as interna-
tional strikebreaking agencies.
All of which is the logical outcome of the policy
of Class collaboration practiced alike by German
and French socialism, the British Labor Party,
and Gompers, johnson, Stone Co. in America. 1t
can be combatted only by fighting against the class
collaboration policy everywhere, whether it be
manifested in Macdonald the labor prime minis
ter, dining with the King; in the renegade social
lists Of France entering the bourgeois government;
in VIM. a. Johnson's infamous "B & o plan% in
the United States; or in the complete surrender
to Morgan by the SocialDemocratic Party Of Ger
aany.

No s-Hour Law Here.

To the Daily Worker:-I came here
a few weeks ago from Massachusetts,,
where we are regarded as Stand Pat
ters. But to my surprise it seems
that Massachusetts is far ahead OF
Illinois in many ways. In Massachu-
sets there is a law regulating the
working hours of women and minors.
II such law is in Illinois it isn't
enforced.
I've read The DAILY WORKER in
Massachusetts, and Of course read it
here.
The capitalists cry how hard
they had to work for their money,
and of course what they possess is
justly theirs. Why don't you show
them up by printing articles from
Myers "The Origin Of the American
Fortunes"

n MOTHER world war is in the max
n ing. 1t is in the immediate fu-
ture. And the United States will
play the leading role in it.
This is not prophecy. 1t is the
conclusion that every worker must
come to after looking squarely at
facts of everyday knowledge. Unless
one is willing to forget the past
entirely he must admit that this coun-
try is leading the world in a mad dash
to another universal slaughter.
That immediate preparations for
this war are under way is demon
strated by the great preparedness
mobilization" planned by the War
Department of the U. S. Government
for September. Memory is not so
short that the preparedness parades"
of 1916 are forgotten, nor the fact
that within a year millions of work
ers were being shipped to the firing
lines across the ocean to protect the
dollars of Morgan and company. And
Morgan's stakes are now billions
more than before.
Beware the Fake PaclfIsts.
The working class must fight
against the threatening war. The
working class has always been op-
posed to war. But it has always been
led helpIessly into it. Why? Because
the anti-war sentiment of the work
ers has been diverted by the agents
of capitalism, by the middle-class pa
cifists, by the trade union bureau

Prepare For Next War . zs,z s,.s1.'

in order the more thoroly to betray
the workers into the slaughter.
Recall the stimulated anti-war
statements Of the officials of the
American Federation Of Labor, head
ed by Gompers, during 1916. 1t was
by these very means that the work
ers were modified for the war less
than year later. These same trade
union bureaucrats became the recruit
ing sergeants for the army, they be-
came the spies of the Army Intelli-
gence Bureau, they became inform
ers upon their own membership to
the government war machine. They
became liberty bond statesmen to
force the union members to finance
the war out Of their meagre earnings.
They used the anti-war cloak to be-
tray the workers into the war.
The same thing will be attempted
again. History is already repeating
itself in this respect in Europe, where
the Amsterdam International, made
up of men Who participated in the
war governments of their respective
countries, are crying aloud over the
dangers of war, while they prepare
to again deliver the European work
ers to the war-machine.
How are the Amsterdam union
leaders, and the Gomperses of Ameri-
ca, preparing for the next war? They
cry out against it, and they say: "Put
your trust in the League of NationsV
But the League of Nations consists
of precisely those same governments

Join the Young Workers League

All the young men and women, boys and girls,
who work at Buntes and other factories are
faced by great problems. Oppressed and exploited
by the corporations, whose only interest is the
profit to be made from the labor of these young
workers, they find themselves helplessly drifting
along, seemingly destined to life of nothing but
factory slavery.
But this helplessness is only that of the individ-
uals. Collectively, when they act together, when
they are organized and directed by a plan, the
young workers have enormous power They
have power to resist the exploitation of their
bosses, and they have power to change their own
lives, to develop the basis of a new society," to build
up workingclass culture and working class
power.
This can only be done by organization. The
leading organization of the young toilers in the
factories and on the land, is the Young Workers
League. Every intelligent and energetic young
worker should become a member Of this organiza
ton. Become leader of the rising working class

The Essential" difference.

The specific complaint of Work
and Thomas against the Communists
is that the Communists are not hon
est" In the formers Milwaukee Lead
er it is charged that Deception is
part of Communist tactics" while,
on the other hand, it claims, 'The So
cialists are open and above board"
This is particularly silly piffle since
no proof is offered in support of the
fantastic charges made. Thomas goes
to greater lengths in his article charg
ing that The Rote Fahne, official or
gan of the German Communist Party,
had advised Communist officials in the
trade unions to sign pledge demand
ed by the reactionary officials declar-
ing that they will "act in their duties
as trade union officials in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
trade union congress rather than of
the Communist or any other political
party" This pledge was an effort to
blacklist the Communists. Expert
ence has shown it would never be
used against the socialist or other
anti Communists.
Thomas, of course, upholds this
espionage system of the reactionary
trade union bureaucracy in Germany.
To uphold it and betray the workers,
throwing them bleeding and helpless
into the hands of German capitalism
THAT is HONEST.
towards did not fight the bosses
espionage act during the war, in this
country, yet they became the 100 per
centers, the honest citizens. And the
espionage acts Of the lieutenants of
capitalism in the trade unions, are no
different than the espionage acts of
capitalism itself. And Germany is
no different than the United States.
"YeIIow Dog" Oppression.
The yellow dog" pledge of the
German labor bureaucracy is on par
with the yellow dog" contracts that
the open shoppers in this country
hand to workers seeking employment.
In order to be real honest and up
right, Work and Thomas would have
job hunters on the slave market tell
every prospective boss his whole past
history, even that he had been or still
is a union member.
The worker, of course, would never
get a job, he would starve to death,
but by Gawdl" he would still retain
his sacred HONESTLY" undefiled.
The Champions of Honestly
It would be we'll to point out who
these champions of honesty" really
are and what they stand for. We are,
like Thomas, very much concerned
with the German situation. We are

They Must Be Proud.

John M. Work and Norman Thomas
must be proud lbe associated with
this agency of the counter-revolution
the German Social-Democracy.
Work and Thomas, in their small
and insignificant way, as well as Ebert
and Scheidemann, made it possible
for the Crown Prince to return to
Germany.
You, Work and Thomas, are also re-
sponsible, with your German counter
parts, for the drowning in blood Of
the Workers Revolution in Saxony
and Thuringia.
You helped drown in blood the con-
quests of the German workers revo-
luton.
And in the hour Of struggle the Com
munists stood alone.
When you talk of honesty" Mr..
Work and MIR. Thomas, look at the
warm blood of the workers that red
dens your hands.

1t was the honest" Social-Demo-
cratic press of Germany that COM
pletely suppressed that part of a
speech by Herr Stresemann, ex-Chan-
cellor and now Foreign Minister of
Germany, who, speaking on March
Goth, at the conference of the Ger
man Peoples Party (Big Industrial
ists), gave a remarkable exposure,
from the bourgeois point of view, of
the true role of the German Social
Democrats, the friends of Work and
Thomas.
We get this extract from Strese-
mann's speech from the Labor Month
ly, an estimable British publication
edited by R. Paine Dutt. In his
speech Stresemann said:
1.-THE chief successes of the Social
Democratic participation in my cab
met were that, with the approval
Of the SociaI-Democrats, ! managed
to secure the return of the Crown
Prince of Germany; that II was pos
sibIe for me, again with the approx
al of the SociaI-Democrats, to in
fIict military defeat on the Com
munists in Saxony and Thuringia,
and this defeat, in its turn, has
cleared the way for the abolition,
without any resistance, Of the eight
hour day and the so-called con-
quests of the revolution My
collaboration with the SociaI-Demo-
Gratis has therefore been fruitful.
That we were able to overthrow the
Saxon and ThurIngian governments
was simply due to the fact that the

al to this military action, and con-
sequentIy, we had to face not unit

ASKS DISSOLVING
OF PARLIAMENT
Rv United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Oct. 9.--Premier Mae
Donald today requested King George
to dissolve parliament, thus neccs-
stating a general election. ~
The prime minister made known
his decision to the cabinet when he
returned to Downing street after
45 minute conference with the King
in Buckingham palace. His an
nouncement was expected following
the Labor government s defeat IN
the house of commons last night on
a liberal proposal that a committee
be appointed to investigate the
dropping of proceedings against a
communist editor who had been
charged with seditiOn. The vote
was 364 to 1913, the conservatives
solidly backing the proposal.
Election day probably will be set
for November 8, as there is little
likelihood the king will refuse to
grant dissolution. The Labor cab
met. the first to hold office in Eng
land, is not expected to resign until
the nation has stated its judgment
at the polls and then only if thcl
scrvatives will remain the strongest
vote is against the party.

that ex-Premicr Baldwin may be re-
turned to head the next cabinet.
