1t is the most sensational = most

made the open car so popular. And
the change can be made in 80 seconds

Experience Lacking.

9. The possibility Of the degenera-
ton OF the proletarian revolution.
The necessity for drawing upon
certain bourgeois forces for aid arises
from the inevitable deficiencies Of the
proletariat- -deflciencies due to lack
OF qualification for certain tasks. And
| maintain that this problem is com
mon in every proletarian revolution;
Il is not specially Russian--it is only
the dimensions Of the problem which
vary. The so-called unfltness TO gov
ern--clumsiness or ignorance-are
simply due to the fact that the pro-
letariat has had and could have had
no experience. And since in the early
stages OF the building OF socialism we
are obliged TO make partial use OF
hostile forces, the possibility has
arisen that certain stratum, includ-
ing some OF our own people, may be-
come detached from the common aim

Riding Two Horses

The railroad union weekly, Labor, could qualify
for job with the circus any day. 1t has been
riding with one foot on the horse of McAdoo in
the democratic ring and balancing lightly with
the other on LaFollette in the republican ring.
This continues even in the July 9Th issue, dated
after their beloved c. P. P a. had definitely sub
mitted Internationally to LaFollette.
In this latest issue of Labor, the democratic
convention is reported by Raymond Lonergan and
Donald Ramsey. In its faring headlines learn
that McAdoo is "boldly defying plutocracy" and
that the democratic platform "has many superb
planks" Bryan energies in the columns of Labor
as again "the great commoner" Staying the dragon
of Wall Street. The editor has made flying leap
onto the democratic horse
But Just wait until the next issue. With light
ming agility he will be back upon the independent
republican, with perhaps a toe still resting gently
upon McAdoo's shoulder unless that worthy has
been definitely eliminated in New York since then.
All of which is about as far removed from work
ing-class political action well be imagined.
Such jockeying may be very effective in getting
Jobs for labor takers but it leaves the workers and
farmers worse off than it found them. The union
officials are hopelessy entangled with the old
party politicians They will never break until the
workers themselves take the lead by smashing all
such machinery for betrayal as the c. p. p. A. and
the "non-partisan' policy that is partisan to all
but the actual workers.

The Question of Spies

'Tn- nine cases out of ten they are on the pay
roll of William j. Burns" said William HI. John
ston at Cleveland, trying to explain the frantic
fear they have of the Communists.
This would be grave accusation if true. I'm
fortunately for Mr.. Johnston and his kind, who
would like to make the workers believe that Com
munists detectives, it happens that when spies
are9ound among the Communists (which happens,
Of course thanks to capitalism and its agents)
theysare-exposed by the Communists, not by John
stcn. And more unfortunate still for Mr.. John
ston, there have been many more spies exposed
among his and Mr.. Gompers' followers than among
the Communists.
Let us be specific: Just few days before Mr..
Johnston made his slanderous statement a real
spy was exposed in Pittsburgh, Pa. His name is
Robert w. Beattie. For more than twelve years
he had been in the employ of detective agencies to
report the doings of the unions to the employers.
Was he a Communist?
No, Robert W. Beatte was a strong supporter
Of Johnston, Gompers, Lewis and their kind He
is vicepresident of the international Union of
Firemen and Oilers, and editor of their journal
he is secretary of the Pittsburgh Central Labor
Union, strong Gompers stronghold; he is presi-
dent of the Labor Bank, good Johnstonian in
stitution and is a staunch supporter of things as
they are in the labor movement.
Beattie was exposed as a spy thru the investi-
cations of an official of the State of Pennsylvania
not thru the Investigations of Mr.. Johnston and
hints have been given that more exposures are to
come. The Communists are not the ones that feel
nervous about such exposures of spies, who are
found high in Johnston's circles, but not high
among the Communists.
With much more truth than Mr.. Johnston's
statement about the Communists, it can be said,
and backed up by evidence of the union bureau
Gratis themselves, that there are detectives among
the labor bank officials, editors of the union jour
naIs officials of the central labor bodies, and sup
porters of Mr.. Gompers. Like all such vermin,
wherever they may be found, these spies must be
found and driven from the movement

Strike to Enforce Defeat

The pussy-footing tactics of the officials of the
international Ladies' Garment Workers Union in
the New York situation has finally placed them in
the absurd position of threatening a strike to en-
force the award of Gov. Smiths commission, an
award that is terrible defeat for the union if it
is accepted
Instead of putting into effect the decision to
strike when the employers turned down all the
union demands, decision rendered by the workers
in overwhelming majority, Sigman & Co. proceed
ed to place the interests of the cloakmakers in
the hands of his political friend, Gov Smith of
Tammany Hall.
What followed was predicted by the left wing
and is inevitable when a union is led by cowardly
treacherous and reactionary socialists and anarch
lists. The commission of friends of labor" grant
ed nothing. The union officials wish to accept the
award.
Encouraged by such miserable weakness the
subcontractors now reject the award, and want
to take few more pounds of flesh from the gar
ment workers. So Sigman is forced to threaten
strike to enforce the award that is the worst de-
feat given the garment workers in years. 1t is the
complete bankruptcy of the SigmanCahan regime,
which has resorted to force and fraud to hold it's
offices, and now surrenders to the employers.

Discuss World Program for Communism

On this question we drag in agita-
tional excuses into our theoretical
reasoning. In no land is the proletar-
lat, under the capitalist yoke, so ripe
that its revolutionary enthusiasm can
be developed by the watchword Of i'm
proved methods of production. 1t will
be impossible with this slogan-that
we shall organize methods of produc-
ton better than the capitalists, Ito
raise among the masses that hatred Of
the capitalists which is nevertheless a
prerequisite for victorious revolution.
If is incorrect to believe that the
capitalist system is wrong because it
accumulates too much. On the con-
trary. After the conquest of power,
we must reckon with decline of pro-
duction with lower standard of liv-
ing also for the proletariat. But we
must try to accumulate. In the first
stage of socialism this will be one Of
the most difficult problems.
To sum up:
u The most important pre-re-
quisite for the development, which
differs in principle from previous de-
velopment, is the conquest of political
power.
p The creation Of the material
economic side.
81 The changing of the human
nature of the proletariat" and later
also Of the whole human material.
These are the main lines of the tran
sition period.

PRAYER and Politics

Announcement is made that churches are call
ing special meetings to pray for the recovery of
Calvin Coolidge, Jr., i'll with blood-poisoning
Upon the face of it. this is passed off as the simple
humanitarianism of our good religious people,
stirred by the imminence of death in the Coolidge
family. In reality it is politics. The unfortun-
ate boy is being dragged from his sck-bed into the
struggle for political power between two rival
groups of offceholders, and for use as a soporifc
upon the restless masses.
''There is nothing like good oldfashioned prayer
in time Of Distress" says clergyman of Kansas
City, in launching this good oldfashioned political
move. He does not say however, that the distress
which really moves those who take up this slogan
is not that of the young heir of Coolidge but the
distress of the capitalist system which is being
torn with its contradictions 1t is the distress of
fear that the masses will become disguised with
all the Coolidges, McAdoos, LaFolettes, ct al and
turn in millions to their own Farmer-Labor Party.
They may well pray. Their system of society
is on its death-bed. Whatever the effect of the
prayer upon Coolidge Jr may be land we must
be permitted to doubt that God will interfere with
the course of the infection from which he suffers)
upon the course of capitalist disintegration the
prayers will have not the slightest effect.

of the socialist movement. The cul-
tural superiority of the forces, hostile
yet at the same time socially neces-
sary to us, may hinder our whole de-
velopment.
This problem must be solved on
the one hand by creating our own
"cadres" Of qualified assistants. But
this solution is not complete; for at
once the possibility arises that such
"cadres" will become transformed in
to new class of intellectuals which
will develop into new bourgeoisie.
Here yet another problem arises.
What guarantee have we that con-
tact will be maintained between the
"cadres" in process of formation, on
the one hand, and the new strata Of
proletarians on the other? Thus we
have two questions: al the solution
of the problem of creating "cadres;"
b. the cultural improvement of all the
masses, insuring a steady influx of
fresh proletarian elements into the
"cadres" so that eventually the whole
conception of "cadres" becomes
superfuous. Reactionary tendencies
will be found in every proletarian re
volution. So long as we recognize
them we need not fear them, for tho
they are inevitable, they are not insur-
mountable.

Enter the Bankers

William Mahoney, chairman of the Farmer-La
Dor Federation of Minnesota, was removed from
the national committee of the Conference for Pro
gressye Political Action after that body had
voted to submit itself Internationally to LaFol-
lette
John T. Sinclair, banker of Minneapolis, was
put on the committee in place of Mahoney.
This switch in committeeman from Minnesota
is symbolic of what is going on thruout the La
Toilette movement. The workers and farmers were
quite good enough to do the work involved in or
ganizing the beginnings of the farmer-labor move
ment. But now God himself, in the person of La
Toilette has arrived to take charge. And Gods
first assistants are always bankers. So William
Mahoney, the elected chairman of the Farmer
Labor Federation, is forced to give way to Sin
clair, the banker friend of LaFollette.
1t is not calamity, however, to have this trend
of events brought out so sharply and clearly. 1t
should help to clear the heads of, not only Ma
honey, but also of hundreds of thousands of work
ers and farmers who thought LaFollette and a
farmer-labor party could go along together. 1t
helps to make clear that those who want working
class political action must break with LaFollette.
The bankers have definitely taken charge of the
Wisconsin senator's campaign.
