Red American Labor Paper Wins Big Campaign

president. Between the two, the Re-
publican party is prepared to blow
both hot and cold. That party, which,
20 years ago, with little convention

THIRD PARTY, has attained the age
Of three score years and ten, and is
ready to die.
Back In 1854.
In 1854 the Wing party and the Re-
publican party, which were then the
two dominant political parties of this
country, had ceased to mean anything
any more. The party lines did not
any longer conform to the lines Of di-
vision of the country on the issues
that then faced the public. There
were in the Wing party pro-slavery-
ties and anti-slayeryites. In the Demo
cratic party there we're the same. The
great issue before the country then
was between the extension of chattel
slavery and the abolition or checking
Of chattel slavery.
The two dominant parties did not
express the division on this issue,
and new party had to force its way
to the front, to become the irstru-
ment to fight out the issue. The new
party was formed out of those who
split off from the two old parties. and
the old Wing party died. The pew
little third party Of 1854 was the Re
publican party, and it expressed the
will of new class to rise to power.

that which occurred in 1854, calls for
redistribution and a redrawing Of
party lines to fight out public issues.
We cannot and must not leave this
hall without forming a great mass

movement Of the producing classes to
step into political action to demand
the right to rule America is as dis

WESTERN ELECTRIC'S BROTHERS

of the company at that time, fought
the strike thru to a finish. Altho
$21, 100000 was lost by the Western
Union stockholders in expenses and
revenues, during the ninety days of
the strike, according to the Wall
Street Journal and the Western
Union was almost wrecked since that
time no vestige of a union has crept
into the Western Union organization
The Western Union lost so much
money on this strike, however, that
the minority stockholders threw their
shares on the market These shares
were bought in by the Bell Telephone
system, and control of the Western
Union was wrested from Jay Gould.
TeIephone-Teleg Trust
Theodore Vail was elected president
of the newly organized telegraph and
telephone trust, that is, he was elect
ed president of both companies,
which were combined. Vail brought a
telephone administrator over from
England, Newcomb Carlton Che had
been English representative of the
Bell system), who was made vice
president and general manager Of the
Western Union.
This organization remained intact
until during President Howard Tafts
administration, when the interstate
commerce commission compelled a
enforcement of the company. The en-
tire electric trust, however, is better
organized than ever, and the COM
panies were separated only in name.
Newcomb Carlton, who rose in
England as Bell telephone man,
and who gained all his experience
az a telephone company executive,
10 now president Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
Cheap Help, Big Profits.
The watchword OF the General
Electric Company, the Bell Telephone
systems and the Western Electric has
been speed up production, with cost
Of production thru cheap labor and
automatic processes cut TO the bone.
The Western Electric Multlpex
printing machines, thru their auto
matte operation by cheap Girl help, =
are equivalent to eight circuits on
one wire. Then Western Electric
machines used by Western Union
girls mean not only the dismissal
OF trained Morse operators who are
replaced by unskllled cheap labor,
but also mean q tremendous econ
omy Of wires, increasing production
many times over at a reduced labor
cost.
In my next article | will tell about
the similarity between the Western
Electric and the Western Union
branches of the Electric Trust in the
smashing Of unions and the handling
OF help in such a way as TO keep
wages down and production high.

BRITISH BACK
DOWN; RECALL
MEXICAN AGENT
Protest Pulls Labor"
OFF High Horse
(speolaI to lie Daily WoRKER.

Especial to THE DAILY WoRKER.)
LONDON, June 19.-The British
recalled its hot-headed
"archiyist," H. A. C. Cummins, the
unofficial agent who has been an
offensive nuisance to Mexico for
two years. Without formal announce
ment to the effect, relations between
the two countries will be conducted
by the Chilean minister Bermuda or
American representatives in Mexico.
Premier Ramsay MacDonald's state
ment in the House of Commons yes
terday defending the lying British
agent has increased the storm of pro-
test against him and the Labor gov
eminent for failure to recognize Mex
leo months ago and for the utterly
subservient manner in which Mac
Donald has allowed the British oil in
terests to dominate his governments
policy.
The popular demand is all for the
mission of Sir Thomas Hohler to con-
tinue to Mexico as planned and push
recognition, altho the capitalists are
trying to foster an attitude of offend
ed dignity leading to demand for an
apology and possible more severe
break in relations. War would please
the bosses most.

POLICE CHIEF
CALLS FOR CARS
and SHOTGUNS
Collins Prepares for
Unemployment "Riots"

The mounted police are not eff
cient (brutal) enough to suit Chief of
Police Morgan Collins. He will rec
ommend that they be disbanded and
assigned to foot duty and that special
squads in autos and with sawed-ofr
shot guns be trained for riot duty.
Collins intends to ask permission
OF the city council to disband the
mounted men at the next council
meeting, the DAILY WORKER learned.
Collins has for some time been in
doubt as to the effectiveness OF the
mounted men as riot quelIers. These
men depend on their horses to dis
band crowds. The new auto squads
would put their faith in riot guns to
get crowds of striking workers to
move on if Chief Collins plans goes
thru.
Labor leaders who saw the mounted
police in action in the stock yards
district during the packing house
strike differ with Collins on the ques-
ton Of mounted cops. They cannot
see how there could be a more brutal
way of handling workers than was
exhibited by the horse cops during
that affair
1t is believed that what Collins has
in mind is preparations for handling
the unemployment question which the
state employment bureau calls a
Serious problem"

Automatic Machines XIII Jobs
The Western Union Morse oper-
ators, as a result Of the installation
of these automatic Western Electric
machines are now working, in ma
jority of cases, on part time. The
Western Union has been able to in
stitute the system of cheap help
which has been so successful in the
Western Electric plant.
Since the great Western Union
strike of 1907, the Electrical Trust has
solicited its cheap labor policies and
has been able to keep strong unions
out of the factories and telegraph and
telephone systems.
Scrap Morse Operators.
The highly trained Morse telegraph
ers are now drug on the market,
and hence the rate of wages paid by
the Western Union is not at all COM
patible with the skill and training of
the Morse operators. The multiplex
automatic operators receive $500 per
month, whereas the Morse operators
get from 500 to $3.50 month. Only
those who have been with the COM
pany for score or more Of years re-
|ceive $3.50 a month.
The Western Union constantly hires
new telegraph operators to work on
part time For the last few months
practically all the new telegraph OPP
orators have been working on half
time or less. These operators are
classed as extra help and are called
in to work only when needed" Over
time work for the Morse operators has
been practically eliminated and is be-
coming an unheard of occurrence.

this social system.
