much have liked to have heard Olivier
announce something quite drastic
Indians Illusions Shattered.
1t is pathetic. To think of the
millions of Indians who have trust /
fully awaited the assumption of
power by labor government, hoping
that some real measure would then
be taken towards self-determination.
And now their illusions are being
shattered with vengeance. This is
perhaps just as well. They will
realize that only their own
strength, their own power Of organ
ization and effort, can help them
at least until a really proletarian
policy is forced upon the government
by the British workers.
Olivier, in his speech, absolutely
rejected the request of many Indian
bodies for a round-table conference
of all parties to discuss the drawing
up of a new constitution for India.
He made exactly the same statements
as have Liberal and Tory Indian
secretaries before him: that the Gov
eminent of India Act had not yet
been fully tested, that time was need
ed to see how it worked Git has been
in operation three years, that we
must have patience "a massacre of
peaceful Sikhs has just taken place
in Jaito, followed by wholesale inn
prisonments), and that the policy Of
the Swaraj Party was mistaken, i'll
Uniformed and unjustified." 1t was
typical speech of an imperialistic bu-
reaucrat. 1t was the answer to the
suffering and exploited masses of In
dia, the crushing of their hopes, the
denial of their faith, and the official
hallmark placed upon their cruci-
fxion.
Strikes and Rumors of Strikes.
And, in the meantime, while the
Labor government pursues its more
or less even way, Industrial unrest
grows and murmurs. In the port of
Southampton, there is a strike Of
1900 ship-building workers, who de-
mand seventeen shillings and six
pence a week increase. The employ
ers in the cotton trade are consider
ing lockout, because of a strike
Of mill-workers at Thornham Mills,
Royton. This would involve about
AvV,OVV WOAASiS. MASS meetings OF
the London street car men have de-
cided to strike unless the employers
grant their demands for an increase
in wages. The engineers (metal
workers) are also getting FESTIVE. aud
! meetings are being held, thruout the
country, to discuss the presentation
, of demands.
And, in the meantime, a new en-
ergy seems to have appeared among
! the workers. The left-wing move
. ment within the trade unions is at
last beginning to take shape. Espe-
: cially among the miners, is the In
} fiuence of the Red international of
) Labor Unions gaining. I hope to
: deal fully with this interesting de-
velopment in my next letter.

EDITORS NOTE-The labor
struggles in Great Britain, in the
economic field, become of increas-
ing interest and Importance as a
result Of the fact that labor gov
eminent, under the premiership of
j. Ramsay Macdonald, is in power
in Downing Street. The DAILY
WORKER has therefore arranged
to get the best possible articles and
the most up-to-date news on the
British labor struggle. These ar
ticles will be published from time
to time by such we'll known writer's
as Charles Ashleigh, j. T. Murphy
and others. Today we publish the
concluding article by Ashleigh on
the important British dock strike.
It has a double interest in view of
the newly declared Traction Strike
and the threatening struggle in the
coal mining industry. Ashleigh's
article follows:

BIZ cHARLEs AsHLEIcH.

Well, now the dock strike is over,
and we may count up our gains-and
our losses.
The men went back to work on
February 26. Their demands were
partially gained.
They had asked for two shillings
per day increase, thus raising the
minimum daily wage, in smaller ports
to eleven shillings, and, in the larger,
to twelve They asked also for inn
mediate measures to be taken to-
wards the decentralization of their EN-
ployment.
They have won: one shilling in
crease now, and the other shilling
increase to take effect on June 2.
They have also the prospect of the
formation of a special commission
to deal with the question of decasual-
ization, said commission to consist Of
Representatives of employers and
lockers, in equal proportions, with
a chairman appointed by the minis
try of transport.
Needed 1t Now.
Thus, is will be seen: they asked
for two shillings, and they get one
now, giving the bosses the use OF
the other until June. Also, it is just
now, during the miserable and damp
British winter, that the money is
most urgently needed by the work
ers, their wives and families, fol
warm clothing and for fuel.
And, as to decentralization, thai
question Of crying importance to
the longshoremen, it now seems /;
long way off. How long will the com
mission sit and deliberate, while th'
lockers crowd at the dock gates
waiting for the slave-drivers to com,
and pick out this man and that, send
ing the unneeded men home discon

How John Brown Educated
Himself.
THERE are other matters treat
Il ed in this long and charming
letter, written by an outlaw 81
years cid, to boy of twelve. One
detail that is important rs the an
alysis of lis own character. John
Brown says his father early made
a sort of foreman in his tanning
establishment, and that tho he got
on in the most friendly way with
everyone, "the habit so early
formed of being obeyed rendered
him in after life too much dis
posed to speak in an imperious
or debating way" John Brown
was ever humble, and severely
chastised his own faults. but this
habit Of being a leader served him
in good stead, and made him the
born captain Of forlcrn hopes he
later became.
Another detail that interests US
Is his account Of his carly read
ing. Working class Americans,
and they are the majority Of the
nation, do not go to the high
schools and universities. Neither
did John Brown. But they can
read history, as he did at ten
years, and they can study and
make themselves proficient in

GRAVE or FIRST AMERICAN

AS the outgfowth OF plan spon.
Bored BY the American Legion to
erect a monument over the grave
Of James Bethel Gresham, the fret
American to be killed In the world
var, who Is buried at Evansville,
Ind, that city may become the
site Of an International shrine dedi-
Gated to the memory of the soldiers

The plan is to make the city's

ter of the park a monument would
be erected to Gresham, and sur.
rounding it each State would be
Invited to erect a smaller memorial
bearing the name Of the first sol.
der Of the State to die In battle.
Each marion allied with America
would also be asked to erect a
monument to its first fallen. The
shrine would be- dedicated as a

BILL BUMPED BIG BEAR
BEFORE BEAR BIFFED BILL

w. M. Cady Jr., down in the Nc
Nary country the first of the week,
killed 600-pound bear.
After Bill had fired his third shot
into the big brute, which was COM
ing toward him at something more
than a mere amble, he discovered to
his great glee that there wasn't an
other dinged shell in his rifle. He
loaded one in in record time and
blazed away just as Bre'r Bruin was
making a flying leap at him. The
last shot was too much for his bear
ship, who flung out one paw and
knocked the rifle aside, then slumped
down and decorously expired.
There was another man with Blll.
Bill asked the other man for Gig
arctic right away. The other mans
hands were trembling so that Bill had
to reach into his pocket and dig out
the cigarette.
The reporter was unable to get
hold of Bill following his return to
Flagstaff night before last so has to
let this story go to press without his
confederation of all the details, which
it is reported on the very best au-
thority, are essentially as given
above.
