The more we look into the grand military re-
lhearsal scheduled for September twelfth, De
Tense Day, the more we convinced that Mr..
Gompers will be in respectable anti-union, labor
hating company in his Endorsement of the mill
tarist plans of our exploiters
In the New York district the ordnance office of
the War Department will be ably assisted in its
defense maneuvers by Ebert HI. Gary, Charles
NJ. Schwab, General Guy E. Trip, Samuel Nc
Roberts, and others.
Colonel James l.. Walsh, chief of the district
in charge of all these operations is entitled to a
vote of thanks by the working class for his frank
and enlightening comment on the character and
purpose of Defense Day. In his plea for these
militarist gestures, Colonel Walsh emphasized
their value in helping the rapidity of the manufac
ture of up-to-date arms and ammunition.
In the light of this estimate, by an expert of
the whole scheme it is particularly instructive to
note Mr. Gary's reasons for officially joining the
demonstration. Mr.. Gary thus said of the Defense
Day plans: "On December fourteenth, 1929 the
Board of Directors of the Iron and Steel Institute
pledged the active efforts of the members of the
Board in the maintenance of conditions adequate
for the military defense of this country. The fact
that Mr.. Schwab and myself have undertaken to
assist local government representatives is only an
instance of the determination of the industry to
carry out this pledge"
The American worRingmen and farmers who
have had their taste of Pittsburgh. Plus and Min
neapolis Minus have had the opportunity in the
last war to get taste of Gary and his ilk trans
lating such pledges into fabulous rates profits run
ming into several thousand per cent in some in
stances. We have also seen these pledges further
crystallized into the most brazen excuse for per
petuatng the rankest sort of industrial fcudalism
in the steel
Gompers may be used to such company. As a
matter of fact his record will show that he func
lions best when he works shoulder to shoulder with
the Garys and Schwabs. But the great mass of
workingmen will not be fooled into supporting the
imperalst schemes Of their bosses, Gompers
Gary, schwab, and other such friends of labor

An Innocent Abroad

Presidentelect Gales of Mexico is preparing to
visit England and several of the continental coun
tries. Much significance is attached to the Mexican
leaders, visit at this time for two reasons First
of all is the fact that General Gales is soon to
assume the foremost position in Mexican govern
mental affairs. Secondly, the trend of political
events in Europe recently manifesting itself in
the rise of so-caed labor and liberal governments
like those of Macdonald in England and Herriot
in France adds further Importance to the political
character Of the visit
General Plutarcox Gales was elected President
of Mexico by the combined support of the laboring
and peasant masses Gales has now and then
firted with workers demands in the southern re-
public On different occasions, the presidentelect
has even coquetted with the revolutionary agrarian
movement in the land of our southern Eeighbor.
Now, about to assume Office, it appears that Gen
eral Gales is planning to utilize his European trip
as sort of post graduate course in practical po-
litics and state administration.
We have no illusions about Mr. Gales and his
European tour. We are convinced that the Mexican
workers and exploited farmers have still less il
fusion, because they have already seen enough of
him to warrant their being on guard, to necessitate
their utmost preparation to defend their hard
earned rights. Mr.. Gales has boosted that he
takes his inspiration from Samuel Gompers Under
these circumstances there is little that Macdonald
or Herrot will be able to teach him in the art and
science of administering the country ostensiby in
behalf of the working masses-but actually in the
interests of the financial and industrial magnates.
At best, Mr.. Gales will improve his ability to hide
his readiness to surrender to pressure of interna-
tional capitalists and to hide this surrender be-
hind meaningless abstract democratic phrases
The Mexican workingmen and dispossessed
10 HOW c+av
the educated" Gales after his return. Only the
program of the Mexican Communists holds out
hope and salvation to the exploited masses Of the
country Not for one moment should the Mexican
agrarian party and the industrial workers sur
render their arms the land, little of it as has
been given them. If the Mexican workers and
farmers are to preserve their rights and to win
more victories they must stand fast by their right
to their arms and the land. Any attempt by Gales
upon his return to disarm them must be stoutly
resisted.

A Socialist" Union Official

These union officials who call themselves social
lists" have to work hard to demonstrate to be-
nighted world that, really, they are no different
from anyone else, while at the same time they try
to keep the support of those for whom socialism
is a serious thing One such official is Thomas
Sweeney, secretary of the TailOrs Union. In the
current issue of the jOurnalOf that union Sweeney
assures his trusting followers that he has never
belonged to any party but the socialist He prints
Debs' endorsement of LaFollette as proof that he
is good socialist still. Then, to keep the balance
even and not to offend anyone, he reprints long
TRADE against Communism as "anti-American"
from Hearst's Chicago Herald Eraminer.
Sweeney is typical of his tribe of socialists y
Hearst Debs it is all the same to them, just so
il fits in with their immediate purpose. Sweeney
is sore at the Communists because they support
Sillinsy, the candidate who promises to get very
big vote in the coming election in the Tailors'
Union. Sweeney doesn't realize that Sillinsky is
rolling up such large following largely because
the membership is disguised with just such tactics
as Sweeney is using in The Tailor at the present
time So he impartially Debs as a club for his
left hand and Hearst for his right. This is social
ISM" 1924 style.

"ReUOIution" BY Injunction

1t will astonish many members of the l. W. w.
to know that group of men, formerly members OF
the General Executive Board of that organization,
have gone to the capitalist courts with plea for
an Injunction that will turn over to them the offices
of the organization
This is not the first time that labor unions have
asked for injunctions. But always, heretofore,
such procedure has been followed by "safe and
sane" conservative leaders, who profess to believe
in the impartiality of the kind of justice dispensed
in the courts of America. To ask for an injunc-
ton from American judges means to declare that
one believes the courts to be above all class infu
ences, to believe that worker can get justice by
pleading before the tools of the ruling class Of the
country Even the conservative unions have
learned by bitter experience that injunctions do
not work for the workers, but only for the ex
ploiters
How much more surprising it is then to see lead
ing members of supposedly revolutionary organi
cation taking their differences with their fellows
to a Judge to settle And also, when such an
action is led by men like Rowan, who was one OF
the 'bitter enders' in Leavenworth on the matter
of paroles and combinations, claiming for that
reason the support of revolutionary elements in
the l. W. W., surprise passes it's ordinary bounds
and becomes suspicion.
ANY man who drags labor organization of any
kind before the capitalist courts whatever pretext
may be used to excuse the action or whatever the
Justice of his grievance may be- is without the first
elements of a sound proletarian class conscious
ness. He denies the class struggle and throws the
fate of himself and his organization into the hands
of natural enemies. He forfeits the confidence of
all thinking workers.
The ousted members of the G. E. B. of the
1. w. w. have declared by appealing to the courts
that they do not want the issue decided by the
rank and file membership. Instead of insisting
upon a convention to settle the dispute, the only
thing that would protect the interests of the mem
bers, they have appealed to the capitalist courts
By their action they have completely outlawed
themselves in the 1. w. W. and before the working
class.

Misrepresentation.

But the Red International Of Labor
Unions has been grossly misrepre
scented to the l. w. W. rank and file.
Among the injunctionites are those
who have beaten up and expelled ]. w.
w. members whose desire for working
class unity prompted them to advocate
utilization with the R. l. L. U. Even
in the administration are those who
last May suppressed the friendly ap-
peal of the Executive Bureau Of the
r. l. L. U. to the I. w. w. membership,
asking for afiliation and giving a
thoro explanation of the program Of
the r. I. L. U. Even news of the re-
ceipt of this message to the member
ship was not allowed in the /. w. w.
press. The Doyle-Fisher administra-
ton is seriously infringing on the
needs of the membership and ordinary
respect for other working class organ
izations by such behavior In fact, it
went further and coddled and protect
ed these injunctionites and splitters,
while repelling the friendly efforts of
the COMMUNISTS for unity. But when
this crisis is upon the organization,
the membership will see that the adj
herents of the Red International, the
Communists in the /. W. W., will op-
pose disruption and fight with any sin
cere workers against it. But they in
sist that any administration should be
required to cease censorship and mis-
representation of the Red Interna
tional.
Some illusions.
What are some of the illusions the
II. w. w. has about the R. l. L. u?
One is that it seeks to "hquidate" the
i. w. w. and leave in its place only
out-of-date craft unions. This is pure
falsehood. The R. l. L. U. considers
industrial unions as of primary impor-
lance to the revolutionary struggle. 1t
is opposed to split in the l. w. W.,
just as it is opposed to splits in the
mass trade unions.
Because the revolutionary workers
were properly disguised by the re-
formism and despicable parliamentar-
ism of the old socialist" parties, the
i. w. w. naturally acquired preju-
dice against all working class political
parties. Altho oganically separate

DaUis Explains

Mr.. Davis wishes to assure the American voters
that they may vote for him in November with the
deepest assurance that he has severed all connec-
tions with Wall Street He has, of course, sold his
services to Wall Street in the past, but that was
only one of the incidents of professional career.
He is ready to sell his professional abilities to
the Democratic Party in just the same manner,
having cut himself off the payroll of Morgan.
Such innocence is touching! Who can refuse to
vote for Davis when he, himself, assures the world
that he is pure of heart? OF course there will be
cynical workers who misled by the awful Com
munists will say that Davis belongs to Wall Street
whether he is selling himself for an immediate
price or not. Others will not believe that Davis
has severed even his formal relations with Morgan
but that he accepts the candidacy as the direct
representative Of his boss. In our moments Of sin
we incline to the latter Interpretation ourselves.
All Of which Mr. Davis would brush away with his
explanation" that Of course, he aoas Morgan's
kept man, but be is not that kind any more.

will have been overthrown. To set up
this position is to limit ourselves in
practice to purely job unionism, to ig-
more the fact that our membership are
members also of the working class,
whose historic mission it is to over
throw capitalism. In fact, this is to
deny the revolutionary struggle alto
gether, to set our membership to
thinking that they have no revolution
airy duty to unite with and to support
the workers of other lands in their
fight for power, or even to join with
other revolutionary workers of this
country to consciously plan and fight
for the overthrowal of capitalism in
America. Communists and Red Inter
nationalist unalterably oppose this
sidetracking of workers revolutionary
program into channels that are harm
less to capitalism.
Craft, Industrial and National Patriot
ism.
Still another tendency closely relat-
ed to the split now dividing the l. w.
w. is the so-called industrial union
patriotism" which is the same breed
as the craft union prejudices Of con-
sentative unions. Deluded into think
ing that one union can get more by
going it alone" the confused leader
ship of any such union steers it
straight to defeat and ultimate de-
struction. This stupid notion has
grown up and fiourished under the
leadership of those l.. w. w. officials,
both past and present, who carried
this same sectionalism to the extreme
by contending that affiliation and soil
darity with the revolutionary workers
of other lands did not matter! They
have opposed and expelled members
of the l. w. w. for advocating affili-
alton to the Red International of La
Dor Unions. 1t is clear that if the
I. w. w. were so affiliated it would
profit from the collective wisdom and
experience of revolutionary unionists
of other lands. We must recognize
that our membership is only about
10000 and that we are only ridiculous
in setting ourselves up as not only
the labor movement of America, but of
the entire world. We must have unity
in the industry, unity nationally and
unity internationally.

IT'S OF THEE

In the town of San Pedro, you know.
Every man has his sovereign rights,
They are never denied and we view
them with pride
AS Democracy's symbols and lights.
For instance, we all are allowed
To speak out our thoughts man to
man,
We can stand on our, feet and speak
on the street,
II we don't mind year in the can.
Or else we can meet in hall
And sing till we're quite out OF
breath,
And bother no one and have lots OF
fun,
II we like being scalded to death.
II a newspaper pleases our mind
We can order a lot from the shop
And sell the fine sheets on the high
ways and streets
II we want to be dubbed by cop.
II the district attorney is foul
And the judge is the lowest OF men,
We can speak out this news as loud
as we choose
And promptly get sent to the pen.
There was never city like this,
And whoeveh don't like II Ia a sIob.
He is free to endorse that opinion Of
course q
And get himself bounced on the knob.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. j. O'FLAHERTY.

F this fellow is not a Social-Demo-
L crat, there is no such animal. SINH
lar comment on the so-called swing
to the left in France could be read
in Oswald Garrison Wizards Nation,
in James Oneaps New Leader and in
the New York World. "Reconstruc-
tion," says Boudin. What kind of
reconstruction? Capitalist reconstruc-
ton or reconstruction on a Commun-
list basis? The Proletarian Party
holds that the Communists should not
incite the petty bourgeoisie against
the big capitalists and thus thwart
the speedy and desirable gobbling up
of the former by the latter. Let evo-
luton take its course, say the New
Marxians. Perhaps Boudin's desire
for capitalist reconstruction is a new
system of Marxism that will be placed
on the market one of those days as
"a Philosophy of the American Labor
Movement" In which case gas masks
would be in great demand.
COCIAL pacifism with vengeance.
- And this is the gentleman
who lies so persistently over the
Workers Party's attitude toward La
Toilette. Boudin goes on to sympa-
thize with the French and British
governments because of the evil le-
gacy they inherited from Poincare.
He fears the German reactionaries
will be able to Illustrate the efforts
at reconciliation on the part of Mac
Donald and Herriot. Mr.. Boudin's So
cial pacifist soul may have peace. The
German reactionaries have accepted
the Dawes plan and all is well. Bou-
din's liberal socialist friends in Eu-
rope are united on the Dawes plan.
1t is a plan for capitalist reconstruc-
ton at the expense of the German
workers. We are informed by Bou-
din that these same accused reac-
tionaries frustrated the peaceful eff
forts on the part of the German so
cial-democrats. Indeed! We were
Of the opinion that the pacific inten
tions of the German social democrats
were exemplifled in shooting Com
munists, thousands of whom are still
in German prisons and in acting as
! the hangmen for these same "reac
tionaries" who now rule Germany
The pacific intentions Of Noske
Scheidemann and Ebert. Phewl That
is even worse than could be expected
from the New Leader
N FTER expressing fear that the
n German reactionaries may fail tc
properly respond to the conciliatory
efforts of Macdonald, Herriot & Co.
thus weakening the positions Of the
Herriot and Macdonald governments
and thus rendering the entire swini
to the left in the allied countries
abortive as far as world peace ant
reconstruction are concerned, Mr.
Boudin takes his head out Of the cess
pool after issuing the following ejacu
lation: "These are critical times, ant
1t behooves all lovers of peace to b'
on their guard and to do their duty.
Admiral Nelson Of Britain issued
similar slogan at the battle Of Trafal
gar. There is Marxism made easy
by Louis Boudin. He who expect
peace under capitalism is not MARI
ian, but political Simple Simon o
else a knave.
