FRENCH COMMUNISTS
WAR ON HERRIOT AND
BANKER DAWES PLAN

PARIS, May 2s.-- The ccmmun-
LIST party Of France, thru Ito daily
organ HumanIte, opened a vIuor-
GUS campaign against HerrIot and
the left bloc for Its acceptance Of
the Dawes plan, which, In the words
OF the Communist paper, would
"seaI the counter-revoIutIona holy
alliance Of the bourgeois parties"
The Communists refused to join
the prediction antI-PoIncare left
bloc, in which the Socialist party
Joined, but instead formed q united
front with the peasants under the
slogan Of a workers and peasants
government.
The Communist challenge caused
considerable nervousness in the
ranks Of HerrIot's supporters, whose
margin Of safety Is very slim.
"German SocIaI-Democracy," de-
clared HumanIte, "the English So
ciaIists and our left bloc receive
with enthusiasm the Dawes plan to
reorganize the trembling capitalist
system and to choke the proletarian
revolution. All workers should
fight it to the bitter end, for the
peace of the Dawes plan means a
workers famine and the peace of
the tomb"
The government press accuses the
- l. a "a
the German government. This
charge brings loud laugh from
the French workers. The French
Nationalists claim Germany could
now place one million soldiers in
the field and that the radical gov
eminent will prove easy picking
for the Berlin mIlItarists. Herriot
will not be allowed to 60 to sleep on
his job.

VOL Knocks Constitution

I'VE recognize that by our form of govern
ment the difficulties of parliamentary action
are almost inconceivabe."
No, dear reader, these are not the words of a
bold, bad Bolshevik intent upon destroying the
glorious constitution of the good U. s. A. 1t is
Matthew Vol talking, the heir-apparent to the
throne Of Gompers president of the Photo Engrav-
ers Union, and staunch upholder of thingsas they
are Even VOL, nearchief of the labor s'red-bait-
ers acknowledges the existence of the dictatorship
of the capitalist class in America. "The Difficult
ties of parliamentary action" to accomplish work
ing-class aims says Vol, "are almost unconceiv-
able"
But Vol draws the moral, not that this die
tatorship of capital must be overthrown but that
Labor must submit Internationally. Not even
a mild Labor party can be allowed, according to
Woll because it would lead to something more
drastic. "Those who are most jealous in promot-
ing an Independent labor party, while not avow-
edly communistic in character nevertheless and
ultimately in their mind are for the destruction
of the concept of private property and personal
freedom as we know it in industrial life. Prin-
cipally for that reason the A. f. of L. has opposed
a distinctive labor party it would ultimately
carry with it the adoption of the socialistic or com
munistic idea of society"
To question the unconditional rule of capitalism,
leads to the adoption Of the Communist program.
True enough! But the fear of the red flag is not
going to cause the labor movement to bow to
strike-breaking governments or the bankrupt farm
ers to kneel to mortgageforeclosing sheriffs who
are protecting the private property of the money
sharks by taking away the private property of
the land tiller. And when the workers and farm
really learn the truth of VOLTS statement that
they must choose between ruthless, exploiting cap
italism on the one hand, or communism on the
other, at that time the red flag of Bolshevism will
indeed begin to kiss the breezes Of these great and
glorious United States.

ing a half column editorial to
the attack.
Trachtenberg' tour led him thru
the wide open spaces where liberty is
scarce and thru the eastern mill
towns where it doesn't exist at all,
but he left behind him an inspiring
knowledge Of the Soviet system Of
great Russia and the rising tide Of
revolution in Germany which give
American workers hope in their own
struggle for freedom.
Best Meeting in Vancouver
my best meeting" said Trachten-
berg, wasn't in the United States at
all, but in Vancouver, British Column
bia. There, one of the big theaters
was damned to the doors. / had just
come from Seattle where the timid
! leaders Of the labor movement de-
MED us the Labor Temple. 1t was in
spring to find such enthusiasm for
the international revolutionary move
ment.
Big meetings were held in Califor-
mia. In Los Angeles the Industrial
Workers Of the World turned over
their hall to the Trachtenberg meet
ing when the owners Of the hall that
had been engaged, got cold feet. A
second successful meeting was held
there in the Workers Party hall
o. Of J. and Labor Takers.
Trachtenberg found splendid feel
ing for the Revolutionary movement
among rank and file union men in the
City Of the Angels tho trade union
leaders there have been working hand
in hand with the department Of JUS
tice. Names of Trade Union Educa-
tional League members seized in the
raid on the T. u. E. L. hall, have been
turned over to the labor takers by the
department of justice for expulsion
purposes.
Department of Justice agents had a
habit of shadowing the Communist
lecturer, but they did their shadow
ing very obviously. Trachtenberg
says they are just as foolish as the
fellows who worked for the car back
in the 1905 days when he was in the
old Russian revolutionary movement.
Dick Lennon Is Very Crude.
In Erie, Pa, Trachtenberg ran into
that very crude federal operative, Mr..
Lennon, who was loaned by Burns to
/. the Steel Trust during the Farrell
sedition trials. Lennon. posing as an
innocent visitor, asked the lecturer
string Of questions, ending with the
query, how the revolution was COM
ling in the U. s. He seemed very much
disappointed when Trachtenberg mere
lily answered that no class gave up
without struggle. Later at res
Iturant, Lennon moved over to Trach-
Itenberg, "Say, you were wrong about
Daugherty. 1t was frame-up against
him."
Thru the Ohio steel towns private
industrial spies kept tab of the speak
Ter. They were spotted at all meet
ings by Workers Party members.

AS WE SEE 1T

After LaFollette delivered his
crushing blow" to the American
Communists as the Chicago Tribune
had it, ]. A. Hopkins, his stenogra-
pher and the handy man who mails
his monthly bulletin, the three re-
naming survivors of the COMMITTEES
of 48, ostentatiously announced their
withdrawal from the June II conven-
ton. A middle-aged lady in Wiscon-
sin admitted that she had sinned
grievously in having promised to go
to st. Paul without first getting the
advice of the Badger political Solo
mon. This is the net result to date
of the grand assault on the mass con-
vention Of the American workers and
farmers. All will be we'll, unless
Gompers declares war on the reds"
We have often heard of people be-
ing obliged to eat their own words
but if Bishop William Montgomery
Brown has his way, he will make the
bishops who are trying him for
heresy, swallow the whale that swal-
lowed Jonah Brown claims it would
be much easier for Jonah to have
swallowed the whale. There are other
fish stories listed by the rebel bishop
that should prove as obnoxious to the
Theological gullet as the whale story.
There is the virgin birth theory, for
instance. We wish the bishop good
luck and bet ten to nothing that he
will be found guilty.
The sum of $4,000 is offered as q
reward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the person
or persons who took the life of the
boy Franks, son Of the millionaire
pawnbroker. The Herald Examiner
and Chicago Tribune have put up ten
thousand of it. Morons are suspect
ed of being responsible for the crime,
but any moron who would show such
mental helplessness as the Chicago
police have displayed since the out
rage was committed, should be hanged
on general principles. At first the
crime was to be solved in the usual
twenty-four hours, but after every
body who wore pair of horn-rimmed
spectacles, drove a gray automobile
or used a portable typewriter, was ar
rested, the police department an
nounced it was clueless,. excepting
pair of glasses thru which it is look
ing for inspiration. The capitalist
papers are offering rewards for the ap-
prehension of the criminal in order
to keep interest aroused in the MUIR
der and in circulation.

Science

As soon as Darwin gave to the
world his theory that man and mon.
key were descended from the same
ancestors. scientists conducted
search for fossil and other evidences
Of the connection. This search was
popularized by the term missing
link"
There never has been found an ex
act missing link in the sense that
this term generally is used-that is,
half-man half-ape. There have been.
however. a number of remains found
that scientifically are real missing
links in the evolutionary scale.
However, all these remains showed
more simian than human character
iStics.
The last one, discovered recently.
is a fossil of the Miocene period
showing parts of a skull. It was
found in India by DR.. Barnum Brour
Of the American Museum Of Natural
History. New York City. The re.
markable part Of these remains is
that the teeth bear a close resmb-
lance to the teeth of man. This in
dictates that It is the closest of all
sub-men to the primitive human
race.
