Views of Our Readers on Many Subjects

tlsan, no party names appearing on
the ballot. The election last fall was
a city election. The Detroit Fedora
ton Of Labor supported candidates
out of 8 which comprise the City Coun-
ell. The Workers Party of Detroit in
dorses these candidates. Why? Every
body in Detroit knows that since the
acquisition of the street car system by
the city the issue in all the elections
has been whether or not the admins
tration would deal with the unions.
The trade unionists are immensely in.
terestd in the city elections for this
reason. For this reason and also be-
cause the Detroit Federation in that
election decided to challenge d major.
ity Of the Council, the Workers Party
of Detroit correctly applied the united
front policy by endorsing the can.
didates of the Detroit Federation of
Labor. OF course, IL the election had
been partisan and these candidates
we're running on the old party tickets,
the W. p. OF Detroit would not have
Endorsed them. The motion for in.
dorsement passed by the City Cen.
trail Committee was made by me, and
contained in addition to statement

Concerning Consuls

Too much government in business is the stereo-
typed complaint of the Rabbits who parrot the in
antics of the Melons and Hoovers. Yet without
the government the businessman in foreign trade
would be helpless. 1t is of interest to note that
no complaint is ever raised against the activities
of governmental agencies abroad whose task is to
smooth the road of the investor in foreign enter
prices No one yells more loudly or continuously
for aid than the American businessmen when his
greed arouses protest from the people or govern
ment Of some backward nation. He is only too
glad to have plenty of government in business on
these preferably government represen-
ted by fully equipped marines or cruiser cleared
for action.
The above remarks are inspired by the perusal
of an article on 'our Foreign Service" by Edward
\. Hurley, published in the Manufacturers
News Mr.. Hurley is the former head of the U. s.
shipping board and is distinguished chiefly for his
rather open attempts to give the properties under
his control to the private shipping interests and
pay them literally for taking them 1t is evident
from this fact alone that he is eminently qualified

Another Bad Smell in Omaha

]. A. Lochray, editor of the Mid West Labor
News, Omaha, of the privately-owned publica-
tons that presume to speak for labor after tenta-
lively supporting the farmerlabor movement
swung to the LaFollette ticket. and has now come
out for Cal Coolidge
There was a time when Lochray was quite a red.
1t was when there no particular opposition in
the labor unions to certain radical policies before
the reactionares organized to preserve the status
quo and their jobs Then he suddenly became ortho-
dox. He abandoned the struggling farmer-labor
party and threw in with the middle class which
dominates the LaFollette movement Apparently
the Coolidge forces have come thru with some
thing real in the line of cash or other good and
valuable considerations and Loehray now has a
new view of the political situation.
We mention this matter not because anything
that Lochray does is of any Importance but simply
to point out the real benefit to the working class
movement of such periods the present which are
wonderful in the way that they show up the
traitors and weaklings in the movement Elements
that are ready and willing to denounce, at the
orders of fakerdom the Communists and the Com
munist position, as Lochray was, are found to be
a good recruiting ground for the worst reactionary
movements
The chances are that Lochray will next be heard
from as the Omaha organizer Of the Minute Men
of the Constitution headed by Dawes. This is about
the only work that could be more treacherously
Shiny than his present occupation.
That offensive smell in Omaha does not come
from the stockyards alone.

ton the provision that UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES would the w. p.
indorse candidates running on old par
ty tickets.
There is ample proof that the editor
of the Proletarian did not make the
charge in good faith. In the first place
IL the charge is true why did not the
Proletarian make this charge earlier?
The endorsement of the candidates
took place just about year ago.
In the second place the editor makes
the statement twice that the can
didates Endorsed ran on old party
tickets, whereas he knows that the
city elections are non-partisan.
In the third place he makes the
statement in the same editorial that
the candidates Endorsed by the Fed
GRAFTON and by the Party were so
reactionary that the conservative
Building Trades group opposed their
election. The fact OF the matter is
that the most reactionary or the can
didates was the representatives Of the
Buildings Trade group, Robert Ewald,
who on the floor OF the Detroit Fed
Grafton made the statement that the
reason he and his group we're opposed
to Endorsing Ave candidates was that

THE MISTAKEN PRoLETARlANs

itorial in the September Proletarian,
the official organ of the Proletarian
Party, the editor charges the Workers
Party Of Detroit with having support.
ed, last fall, candidates for public Of.
flee running on the old party tickets.
He based this charge on an article of
mine in The Worker of Dec. /, 1923,
reporting a decision of the Party in
Detroit to support candidates Endorsed
by the Detroit Federation of Labor.
Not only is the charge false, but it
is made at this time for the purpose
OF covering up sin of the Proletarian
Party, the sin Of omission to publicly
announce the expulsion of Bait from
the Proletarian Party last December.
The profound silence of his expulsion
was discarded for an attack upon the
Workers Party when the DAILY
WORKER recently published the story
OF Bats candidacy in the recent prim.
aries for republican nomination for
state legislator.
Every one who is at all familiar
with Detroit municipal politics knows
that the city elections are non-par.

NTSTRICT Is, United Mine Work
- ers of America had a special
convention that was called for the
purpose of considering the situation
brot about by the strike in the dis
trict. The convention lasted four full
days and couple Of night sessions
closing sine die without doing any
thing toward solving the problem as
to how the miners Of District is could
carry the strike to a successful con-
clusion. The pitiful state of the min
ers of District Is and their families
was laid before the convention by
every delegate sent by the rank and
file: it was pointed out by the rank
and file delegates that we have lived
up to the laws and policies Of the
United Mine Workers of America in
every respect and now we demand
that we get financial support to help
us win this strike. John L. had his
funkies there in the persons of
Andrew Steel and Dave Watkins. On
the question of support from the In.
ternational, those two buffers drew
the gloomiest picture of the miners
of the United States that could be
expected from such well-fed buffers OF
capitalism.
They covered every district in the
United Mine Workers of America
where the three-year agreement was
signed; one by one they pointed out
the thousands of miners out of work
since the 18th of April, they told us OF
100000 miners who were out of work
and that sufficient coal was on hand
to last six months and that the min
ers of the United States are worse off
than the miners of this district. Even
tho they have a three-year agreement
they had no work and could not help
the miners of District Is they said the
figures given out in the international
report was not money that could be
got hold of. 1t was tied up one way
or another and therefore nothing fur.

THE MINERS STRUGGLE

Of District IS from the International
in the way of relief.
They said that nothing less than the
Jacksonville agreement would do in
District IS. that the International
would not sanction any agreement
that would not carry with it the 1923
wages and conditions; they had no
suggestion to offer as to how to get
it, only to sit tight, live up to the
laws and policies Of the United Mine
Workers of America, and refuse to
go to work till the boss gives you
what you ask for; but if you get bad
and refuse to live up to the laws and
policies of the United Mine Workers
of America you will find yourself in
the same position as others who tried
to break the laws and policies of the

tinually before the delegates the
laws and policies of the International
One Of the policies Of the Interna-
tional is separate agreements in a dis
trict that is on strike. We have many
union mines working all around us
and the majority Of the delegates
came to the convention to vote the
mines closed, but when they were
told what would happen il they did
they went opposite to the wish of
their locals, and their own wish was
supplanted by the fear of the Inter
national power to revoke charters.
Some delegates came to the conven-
ton with mandates from their locals
to vote against the policy of separate
agreements but after hearing the
lickspitles of Lewis tell the conven.

to speak on any subject having connection with
patriotism
Mr.. Hurley rises to the defense of the American
consular service and says:
at is wonderful thought that, through his gov
eminent, the American businessman virtually has
foreign representatives In every important trade
ter in the world. They there to him, and
he gets prompt, courteous and efficient service
whenever and wherever he requests It,
This is certainly wonderful thought for the
American businessman and it is also matter that
is worthy Of considerable thought by the workers
who are exploited at home by these same business
interests. worker who went abroad for employ
ment and who asked an American CONSUL to assist
him in getting more than the prevailing wage
would be considered insane. At least he would be
told to get back to Goods country" and upbraided
for ever leaving it. How different with the business
man! He is commended for extending American
commercial enterprise and, if the country in which
he operates is weak, is encouraged to violate its
regulations and exploit its people to the utmost
The armed forces of the United States government
stand ready to protect him.
This is a form Of government in business that
the mperialists do not object to but demand. just
as at home the power of government is used against
the native workers so abroad it is used against the
workers of other nations.
1t is over the slaughter of workers in the Phil
lipines Honduras, Porto Rico, Haiti, Santo Domin
go and China as a result of conflict between them
and American exploiters that American workers
supposed to cheer, throw their hats in the air,
and swell with pride 1t is for the business inter

abroad that such articles as Hurleys are published

Speeding Up the War Game

Defense day has come and gone and now the
American masses are asked to get ready for Navy
Day on October %. Then will come Armistice day,
November H. when another geyser-like eruption of
patriotism is expected After the first of the year
Lincolns birthday, followed shortly by Washing
toms birthday, will give the spread-eagle orators
opportunity to discharge some urgent appeals for
more and better armies.
Then comes Decoration day and the Fourth of
July with constitution weeks" and other 100 per
cent enterprises sprinkled in. With the agitation
against the Japanese given color and pungency by
the British attitude at Geneva we are of the
opinion that the paytriots will be able to keep
fairly busy.
The above short list of occasions on which the
advocates of bigger and better wars find excuse
for giving tongue is informative in that it shows
that much organized effort is needed to keep the
American masses in the proper mood for slaughter
and that artificial means are necessary to CON
vince the average plug that the best proof of his
love for his country is his willingness to get himself
killed in particularly horrible manner for some
thing he does not understand but which someone
has told him is an american ideal"
The organization of these military agitations for
which more excuses are being found daily is
ample proof that imperiaists are preparing for
war. The agitation serves two purposes. 1t
creates the proper atmosphere for war of ag-
gression abroad and it mobilzes the fascist ele-
ments for war on the disconnected masses at home
whenever such course appears to be necessary
Every one of these militarist holidays must be
utilized for propaganda against by the revoIu-
tiOnary workers and a clear distinction between
the revolutionary opposition to imperialist war
and the pacifst objections, which in the final
analysis are pure humbug must be drawn.

strike, no militant in the ranks wants
to see the workers defeated just for
the sake Of saying l told you so, just
to prove that great organization
like the United Mine Workers OF
America, in the hands of Lewis and
his fiunkies is to go down to defeat
because of their treachery No, that
is not what the militants want, they
want to bring the workers out victor

because victories give courage to the
workers, and defeats give discourage.
ment and makes it almost impossible
to rally the workers quickly for an.
other battle, therefore we are not in,
terested personally in John L Lewis,
Sherman, or any of the rest of that
type. If Lewis or Sherman is will
ing to lead the workers in the direc
ton of victory for the workers, and
defeat for the boss then we will back
them to the limit, but when they lead
the workers to sure defeat as they
are doing today we will fight them
fearlessly, show up their acts to the
rank and file and allow the rank and
file to take the action that is neces.
sary to remove them from the posi-.
tions which they now hold.
The miners Of this organization now
have chance to free themselves
from such leadership. Elections for
these Offices will be held in Decem,
Der, miners what will your answer be
to such traitors? Will you remember
the Edmonton strike, the Nova
Scotia strikes, the kilograms from
Lewis and Sherman in that strike of
1923? The three year agreement and

Lewis in many districts, the revokink
