The united front against the working class is
taking on such fantastic shapes with new alb
surdties added every hour, that it is very hard to
keep up with the latest developments. The most
active imagination cannot keep ahead, or even
abreast of the weird and wonderful political
alignments that are being concocted in this I'M
usual campaign that is hardly begun as yet.
Michigan enters the lists today as a contender for
first place in absurdity.
The Detroit Federation of Labor is supposed to
be very "advanced" body. 1t sent delegate to
the Red international Congress at Moscow in
1921. 1t participated in the July convention in
Chicago in 1923. 1t likes to its fealty to in
dependent working class action and to progressive
measures generally. 1t is part of the G. P. P. A.

But at the same time the D. F. Of L. is sup
porting Herbert A. Baker for Governor of Mich
igan. Baker used to be very radical" He also be-
longed to the c. P P. A. and attended its st. Louis
conference last February. He was hot for "inde-
pendent action" He was all for the workers and
the "new social order" But-he wants to be Gov
ernor of Michigan. He cannot afford to jeopardze
his political career! The republican machine will
ditch him if he goes along even with the mild and
harmless LaFoIlette So Herbert Baker withdrew
from the G. P. P A, lined up with the machine,
declared in favor of Coolidge and Dawes, and is
nov united in peaceful amity with the strike
breaker republican candidates, the Detroit Fed
Grafton of Labor, and his own ambitions.

Bourgeois Solidarity

Notwithstanding all the differences among
themselves, the members of the bourgeoise always
find the means of developing and expressing their
solidarity against all forces that threaten their
fundamental institutions 1t is interesting to dig
back few months in history and produce one
example of this instinct to stick together" of the
upper classes We find it in LaFollette's state
ment on the death of Warren Harding, a year ago,
at time when La1Sollette-but not the world
at large-was aware of the rotten nest of corrup-
ton that Harding had created in the White House.
Here are the words of LaFollette:
"The sad that the President is dead to the
passengers Friday. IL passed from to another
swiftly and every face gave striking proof that the
President holds secure place in the affection Of the
American people. 1T WAS A GRATIFYING AS
sURANcE OF THE STABILITY OF OUR lNSTiTu-
TIoNs that regardless Of the eross-currents of po-
Itica opinion we have definite and assured respect
for the official who embodies in his exalted position
the sovereign will Of all the people. The handsome,
genial and gracious Mr. Harding caught the lmaeln-
alton Of the American people because he knew and
followed the best traditions of American hospitality
and social grace"
LaFollette found it gratifying that large masses
of people, kept in ignorance by himself and his
kind of the enormities going on between Harding,
Daugherty, jess Smith, Mclean ct al, should have
definite and assured respect" for the oil presi-
dent as embodying "the sovereign will of all the
people" Such stupid and silly respect for po-
itcians and grafters is the basis for the stability
of our institutions" If the masses knew the truth
they would get rid of these institutions.
All middle-class saviours of humanity a la La
Toilette want above all to preserve our institu-
tons" So, matter how much they may fret
and fume among themselves they always find oc-
casion, as on the death of some eminent CRATER,
to declare their solidarity with all the forces of g

The World War and the Trade Unions

strike at the outbreak of the new
war? Didn't they create united
front with the petty bourgeois paci-
fists? Didn't they set aside the third
Sunday in September, 1924, for an
ti-war manifestations? Haven't they
again just the other day repeated that
they are opposed to war? Is there
still amy doubt in anybody's mind as
to the readiness of these men to fight
war? He who takes the word Of these
fellows is fool! These people will
cry against war in time of peace, but
when war begins they will be shout
ing louder than anyone else that the
war must be continued to the very
end.
Ten years have gone by. The world
is today totally different from what
it was at the outbreak Of the world
war. And the working class also is
no longer the same as it was in July,
1924. The years of the war and the
destruction of capitalism that fol-
lowed the war have created among
the masses a feeling of opposition,
not only against capitalism, but also
against the agents of capitalism in
their own ranks. During this time
the Communist International has
come into existence and has grown
into big power. Also the Interna-
tional organization Of the Red Trade

Unions. Ever new and more masses
are streaming into the ranks Of these
two revolutionary centers.
Capitalism is fighting desperately
for it's existence, and still more des-
perately are fighting the reformist
leaders. But it will not help them.
They will, they must be driven out
of their trenches On this tenth an
niversary of the world war. millions
and millions Of proletarians are
throwing into the face of the capital
list world, their hatred and hostility.
And in celebrating this tenth anniver-
sary, the working men and women of
all countries will remember who it
was that attempted to create the mo-
raj and ideal justification for the
world slaughter. They will remem-
Der how the reformists and bureau
Gratis have brought decentralization
and destruction into the information
al working class movement. Remem-
bering all this, the working masses
of the world will then inscribe on
their banners: Down with capital
ism! Down with the Fascist reac-
toni"
And then they will add: Down
with international reformisml Down
with the social patriots! Drive the
betrayers of the working class out
of the labor movement"

constitutional Progress"

It is quite natural that the employers in the
women's clothing industry of New York should
be quite pleased at the settlement they effected,
thru the Governors Commission, of the great
strike movement that stirred the workers. That
settlement meant a complete surrender of every
demand that was vital to the members of the 1.
L. G. w. U. That the camoufage which was at
tempted to throw over the miserable betrayal
should be labeled constitutional progress" in the
industry does not change its nature by one jot
Surprising to those who do not understand the
class nature of opinions on such questions will be
the position taken by the liberals, who unquali-
edly endorse the purchase of peace at the cost of
the workers. The Nation, spokesman for the mid
dle-cass intelligentsia, endorses the treason and
does its bit to help along the camoufage. It con-
graduates the workers on the betrayal by their
leaders. It halls the peace and progress bought and
paid for by surrender to the employers
But to the student of Marxism and Leninism,
this is to be expected 1t is the inevitable result
of the class position in society of these liberals.
Strikes wars strife of all kinds are to be avoided
at all costs. They want peace at any prices
pecially price SO cheap to them as surrender of
the demands of the workers.
But this middleclass pacifsm, this philosophy
Of collaboration with the capitalist class is utter
~ foreign to the spirit of the working class. The
workers more and more realize that it means
degradation and death to them. Nothing but more
organized power, and its use in struggle against
the employers, can bring advancement and relief
from exploitation to the workers in the needle
trades and all other trades. Unconstitutional prog
ress' is fake, pure and simple, designed to
facilitate the legalized robbery Of the worker 1t
is another version of the company union"

In the Wisconsin Wilderness

When one speaks Of Wisconsin, he talks of SEN
ator LaFollette. In Northwestern politics LaFol-
lette and Wisconsin are synonymous. The polit-
ical machine of the Badger state is LaFollette,
from the governor down. The Senator is the big
boss of the state.
At this moment, the state of Wisconsin is a
veritabe wilderness, Issues, personalities, petty
conflicts, and confusion worse COMPOUNDED, are the
outstanding features of the hot gubernatorial cam
paign that is being waged. The political panorama
that Wisconsin now affords is coorful and vivid
picture of LaFoletteism at its best and at its
worst
In the great progressive Wisconsin we have a
socialist candidate for governor despite the fact

Destroy All Cedars to
Control Rust of Apples

Apple rust inhabIts apple leaves
and fruits during part Of Its life his
tory and cedar trees during the other
part. 1t is the fungus which causes
the cedar apples" which are so con
s~picuous during wet weather In the
spring. The infestation on the apple
is often severe enough TO produce seri-
Gus damage, and farmers who wish
10 July protect their crop of apples
should waste no time in destroying the
cedars, as infection will occur during
any wet spells for the next five or six
weeks.
No profitable method Of control has
been devised except TO destroy the
cedars. II is possible to control by
spraying but the cost IS too great for
il to pay. On the contrary. cutting
the cedars for a mile or two on all
sides of the orchard will accomplish
control without further efforts. The
profit from this operation depends on
the size OF the orchard. the number
of trees TO be cut. and the number
of n%eighbors willing TO cooperate.
There are other similar rusts OF
pears. ounce, and hGw which have
one stage of the life history on cedars
but they are not so important eco
n~omically as the apple rust.

has tried poultry raising as a solution
Of the problem both for his own and
for his neighbors' information. Start
Ing in 1920 with one male bird and
FIVE hens of high-producing strains, he
had by the next spring about fifty
pullets, and by January. 1923, II had
Increased to 400 pullets. For the eight
months from January to September,
1923, Mr.. Harrison realized from his
fock a profit Of $500 in addition to
the value of the birds. which. by
September, numbered 600. The profits
we're made almost entirely from the
sale Of eggs, according to reports to
The United States Department of Agri-
culture. the price received averaging
about 80 cents per dozen. Many peo-
pie have visited the farm, INT COM
ing q distance of 70 miles, and reports
show that nearly a hundred farmers
who have studied the methods used on
this farm are starting tlocks. Mr.. Har-
rison Is increasing his flock and ex-
poets to devote additional time to his

Lining in Winter
Is Good Judgment
Haul Larger Loads on Sled
Than on Farm Wagons.

Some New York state farmers may
find winter a good time to haul lime
for their land. Those whose
farms are so situated that they have a
long uphill haul from the railroad, and
who wish 10 haul by sleigh, are likely
to find winter hauling especially desir-
able. the New York State College Of
Agriculture says.
When the sleighing Is good, larger
loads can be drawn on a sled than can
be hauled on a wagon at other seasons
of the year. In winter there is a period
of several weeks when this work may
be done. This will enable II to haul
the limestone without interfering too
much with Ice harvesting. b%utchering,
wood cutting and other winter farm
work.
If the weathe1 IL favorable and the
snow is not too deep, limestone may
be applied at any time during the win
ter. Burned and hydrated lime. how
ever, may be put on more advan-
tageous., when the land can be
WOTkeu So us % NIX TIE lime WITH the
surface soil soon after spreading. Ii
will give better results this way thar
If left for some weeks on the surface.
Unless mixed with the soil o O after
spreading these more active forms go
over to the same chemical form as
limestone in chunks which ann be
mixed with the soil so completely as
If stirred soon after spreading. What
ever It's form, an intimate mixture of
lime with the soil always gives best
results. D.. ~
Any kind of lime should be kept In
a dry place. Lump lime is sometimes
piled In the field to slake. This re-
suits in considerable waste. Hydrated
lime must be kept dry or II continues
shaking and the bags may burst open,
making II difficult to handle them and
causing some waste. Further, II takes
up weight so there is more to handle
when II comes to hauling and spread
ing. This increase In weight and bulk
may well be considered in spreading,
so as to be sure that enough is used to
grow the desired crop.
