NNCE upon time, many years
~ ago, there existed in this coun.
try political organization that was
called the Socialist Party. The basis
OF its program and aims was that
there was absolutely nothing in com.
mon between the workers on the one
hand and the capitalists on the other.
They believed In the class struggle
and even wrote about it in their pa
pers and books. Very often they
would actually speak of this class
struggle.
They maintained that this govern
ment was a capitalist government,
and that 1t didn't matter a piper's
squeak whether an honest man was
in Office or whether he was a second
story man. They said that good men
in Office" would not solve the prob
lem, and that the thing that was nee.
essary was complete change not
only in government but inlthe system
OF society in which we are all unfortu-
nate enough to live. They believed in
doing away with capitalism and inaug-
urating the cooperative common
wealth.
But that, dear children, was many
years ago. o, many, many years ago
Today, the funny little thing that is
left of the Socialist Party has col
lected unto itself a number OF freaks
Amongst these is a gentlemanly rev
erend. by the name OF Norman

(By Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Manufac-
ture of cars for steam railroads by
100 private contract companies in the
United States was 217 per cent great
erin the number of cars-and cost
the railroads 100 per cent more, in
1928 than in 1921, according to re-

the department of commerce.
The increased investment in pas
senger cars was only 17.7 per cent,
but the increase in investment in
freight cars was 1912 per cent, as be.
tween the 1921, when the private com.
panies were wearing out the rolling
stock they received from the govern
ment, and were fighting the striking
shopmen, and the year 1928, when the
cars that had gone thru the strike
were junk. The investment in new
cars in 1928 was $S69, 924,942, as
against $176,774,656, in 1921.
The report shows that the number
Of wage earners employed in making
these steam railroad cars in 1923 was

The wages amounted to $123,O47, 2S7
in 1923, as against $67,745,6S9, in 1921.
This same force produced other goods
also, the whole output bringing the
companies a gross profit of $55,5OO,.
600. in 1923, as against gross profit
of $53 100000, in 1921. The average
wage in 1923 was about $1,000 per
year, for men having steady work,
while in 1921 it was about $1,000.

TOLEDO S. P.
GOING OvR
TO elephant
Socialists" Leaue or
the Juicy Plun,s
Especial 70 The paiIv workerl

special to The Daily Worker)
TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 81
Former socialists in this city re-
now fast falling into the poki-
cal camp which more nearly is
the ideas of the yellow sociaIits
of the present day.
Men who used to call then
selves socialists have thrown Of
the mask and deserted even the
LaFollette shirt-tail socialist
party of today, joining the re-
publican camp.
Hand Out PIums.
Harry Curtis, who at one time
represented the socialists in the city
council, has just been given the juicy
political plum of auditor by the re-
publican administration. Curtis was
appointed to fill the vacancy left open
by the retiring auditor, who quit to
make room for Handsome Harry.
Yellow socialists seem to either fall
into the Coolidge camp or else get
some fat job as fake labor leader, as
John Walker did when he deserted
the workers on the political field in
Illinois, to become the well paid re-
dictionary president of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor. Another
renegade socialist here is now lead.
ing republican ward politician,
Robert T. Haworth who was at one
time candidate for mayor of Toledo
on the socialist ticket is now republi.
can ward chairman. Haworth is said
to be looking around for a juicy re.
publican plum just as Curtis did, in
order to secure his reward for be.
traying the workers. \
But the prize unripe ounce in the
renegade socialist orchard is -Thomas
Devine, who at present is running for
congress on what is known as the
independent progressive ticket. He
has been socialist councilman for
several years. Devine is running
against General Sherwood, the La.
Toilette candidate for congress.
Was Canned by Left Wing.
Devine, who posed as a socialist un.
til he was found out and expelled by
the left wing Immediately after the
split, will be remembered as one of
the most active Liberty Bond sales.
men during the world war. Devine
marched in the preparedness parade
at that time and did his best to in
viegle the workers into the slaughter.
He himself, however, took no chances
of getting wounded or messed up in
action in France
Devine was elected for councilman
in a strong Ku Klux Khan ward De-
vine is known as street car Tommy"
because he supported the traction
company in voting for a raise in fares.
When Devine took office Toledo was
known as the three cent fare town.
but with Devine's help, the street car
companies raised the fare until it is
now ten cents.
In a speech before Womans' club
some time ago Devine praised the
present administration, headed by
Mayor Bernard Brough, as the best
administration Toledo ever had, altho
Brough is Kluxer and reactionary
republican. In his recent speeches
he has been appealing to the people
to stop calamity bowling" and sup
port the Ku Klux administration.
Workers here suggest that since
General Sherwood is known as the
"Bob-Cat" candidate for congress
that Devine should be called the tom
Cat" candidate.

Carpenters Can Lead Thru Fighting Policy

es; to surrender these points is class
collaboration-which means to let the
boss run the union.
Amalgamatlon by Industry.
The bosses in the building industry
are being solidly organized by the
great financial interests behind them
for the purpose of fighting and break
ing the unions; they are determined
to establish the open shop" and are
ready to spend millions of dollars to
accomplish their purpose. They are
using contractors organizations, citi
zens' committees, arbitration courts
and thousand instruments and de-
vices to do this. But their biggest
weapon is their own unity, against the
divided condition of the unions of the
building trades workers.
No single union, standing alone, can
put up successful battle against the
bosses, once the building boom slack
ems down considerably. Only a fool
or faker will say that the open
shop" drive will not soon be upon us
again. The carpenters cannot stand
alone. Our officials recognized our
weakness, already, when they agreed
to the lower wage of $125 in Chicago,
instead of insisting upon $3.50, and
gave up hard won concessions What
can we expect when depression sets
in earnest?
The only answer is to be found in
closer unity of the building trades,
leading to a final amalgamation into
one powerful industrial union. The
carpenters must affiliate to the Build
ing Trades Department, and propose
and fight for the amalgamation of all
building trades unions into one indus
trial union, with departments to pro-
vide for the necessary branches and
trades, but uniting all our power
against the bosses.
Break Away From Capitalist Parties.
One source of defeat and corruption
in our union, and of division of forces
in the face of the employers, is the
practice of entering politics in sup
port of the same candidates and poll
cies as the employers. The republican
and democratic parties are controlled
from top to bottom by the same class
which is trying to destroy our unions;
the so-called progressives are merely
republicans and democrats fishing for
discontinued labor votes without
pledging themselves to anything. The
carpenters must make a complete
break with this ridiculous and anti.
quated policy of "rewarding friends
and furnishing enemies" and adopt
clear-cut policy of labor participation
of politics, as class and independent
Of the capitalists and middle classes.
International Affiliations.
Labor's struggle against capital
ism is world wide. When Morgan is
able, by means of the Dawes plan, to
take away the eight-hour day from. the
German workers, it means also blow
against the eight-hour day in America.
So with all other international prob

ers, with headquarters at Hamburg,
Germany, and strive for the inclusion
therein Of all building trades unions,
including those of the Workers Soviet
Republic of Russia. The slogan of the
international united front, as fought for

GERMAN ENVOY TO
LEAVE FOR HOME
AMBASSADOR soLF, NOW IN
JAPAN, EXPECTED TO TAKE
HIS PLACE.

Washington DIR. Otto Wiedfeldt,
German Ambassador to the United
States, is expected to return to Ger
many shortly and, in his place, Ambas-
sador Self, now representing his coun-
try in Japan, win come to Washington.
The apparent settlement of the rep
arations issue, which will give Ger.
many new lease on industrial life, is
said to make his presence in Germany
urgent.
Long before the flag incident, which
caused some resentment in America,
the German Ambassador told friends
that he expected to return home in
March He is a director in the great
Krupp steel industry and is said to
have been summoned by his asso
ciates. The fact that he failed to half
mast the Embassy flag when the late
former President Wilson died is said
not to be contributory cause.
The reports reaching this country
from the commission headed by Gen.
eral Dawes would seem to indicate
that France will retire from the oc-
cupied area and give Germany a
chance to build up her industries.

After passing 10 bills which would
require Senate confirmation Of Guber-
Material appointments to the more. inn
portant State Offices, the Senate re-
jected the eleventh and final one OF
the list which would have placed the
same restriction on appointments to
the State Roads Commission.
Defeat of the bill was attributed
largely to clause which would have
required that one member of the COM
mission be resident of Baltimore.
1t was reported unfayorably by the
Committee on Roads and Highways
and the report adopted
Senator Colgan, author of all of the
measures, moved that the bill be sub
stituted for the unfavorable report,
but his motion was lost He defended
the measure against charges that the
commission involved in the. bill is
created under circumstances differing
from those included in the other
measures.
Senator Towers said the Office of
chairman of the State Roads Commits
sion is one of indeterminate tenure,
his term of office depending only upon
the pleasure of the Governor. SEN
ator Colgan refuted this argument by
quoting excerpts from the State Con-
stitution which specify two years as
the legal tenure of office for Guber-
Material appointees.
