The Joke of 1t All

It's no extraordinary event for the principal
actors In the puppet show on Capitol Hill to
lash themselves into fury over the sacredness
Of the interests of the people to whose service
they tell the world they are dedicated
But the joke oft all is that at the crucial
moment, when their fury is about to break
forth abate and the country is anxiousy
awaiting for deeds to put an end of the bed
lam Of words, we are treated to a complete
r1ght-about-face and a refusal to do anything
at all.
The ruling clss of this country has set up
innumerable devices TO hide the class charac-
ter of our much Wanted democracy One of
the tricks most frequently employed in the
game of blurring the dictatorial nature of our
Republic is the apparently innocent Senate
rule that no senator is permitted to impugn the
motives of his colleagues In one of the vigor-
GUS debates agitating the Senate the other day.
Mr.. Ashurst of Arizona, implied that the gen
tleman from Colorado, Mr.. Phipps, had voted
on certain measure with due consideration
of his own interests involved in this particular
piece of legislation. Immediately Mr.. Ash
urst was called to order and ruled off the floor
for impugning the motives of his worthless
colleague from Colorado.
Everybody knows that Senator Phpps is a
member of the Phipps family, one of the big
gest share holders of the United States Steel
Corporation. Everybody knows, as well, that
in the consideration of the Fordney-M Nc Cum
Der tariff steal, Mr.. Phipps lined up with the
reactonary regulars and thus did not forget
his own economic interests-the shares he
owned in the Steel Corporation. Yet, Senator
Cummins, who has had years of experience
in serving big business, particularly the rail-
roads, in his capacity as Chairman of the
Senate, believes that he can fool the masses
about the functions of the Senate, by apply
ing this technical rule to hide the motives
animating the individual Senators.
The workers and farmers of this country
are not especially concerned with the motives
of any individual in the government apparatus
that is now employed by the capitalist class to
suppress them. The workers and farmers are
primarily concerned with the conflict of eco
nomic class interests. The workers and farm
ers know that whether one senator is per-
mitted to impugn the motives of another or
not, the interchangeable fact remains that the
government as whole is dedicated to the pro-
lection of the class interests of the industrial
and financial magnates against the class inter
ests of the working and farming people.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-He solved
IN the mystery of the crooked
compass" and discovered what is be-
lieved to be the worlds largest iron
deposit.
Called in to help solve a problem
that puzzled other scientists of the
country, DR.. Peter Lasareff ex-
amined compass in the province of
Kursk, in Russia, that was being
deviated by a mysterious cause, fol-
lowed trail that led several hundred
miles, and found a whole mountain
range of iron. The huge deposit had
become magnetized and was disrupt
ing the compass much like a "divin-
ing rod" might be expected to do.
DIR. Lasaref is now visiting the
United States informally in the in
terest of scientific development in his
revolutionary country. He brought
with him from the land Of the Sow
lets news of marvellous new achieve
ments of science.
The doctor, who is director of the
Russian National Physical Institute,
in Moscow, is telling Of the discovery
Of a method Of keeping a mans sew
cred hand alive and growing in moth
ing but pure air, and of researches
in electrionic activity showing why
and how mans nerves see and hear
and feel and taste.
He says Investigations of the
operation Of mans nerves indicated
that the nerve centers, as the brain,
for instance, in state Of activity,
create waves in the surrounding
ether.
Waves Measured.
He has gone SO far as to deter
mine the approximate length Of
these waves and says that such
phenomena as mind reading, hyp.
notism and mental telepathy Twill
probably be explained thru these
waves" His laboratory is now en-.
gagged in the task of investigating
these waves, aiming to detect and
study them.
Lasareff told how he happened to

revolutionary hymn was sung or other
disturbance caused by them. AS for
the FIVE hundred Koreans who were
cold-bloodedly murdered by Japanese
imperial militarists during the earth
quake, Comrade Pearl, said that these
were victims Of an imperialistic deter
mination to suppress the movement
in Korea to establish an independent
government, a determination carried
out by the scientific spreading of
rumor, at a time when the mob was
Historically capable of believing any,
thing, that the Koreans led by COM
munists were marching toward the
imperial palace to overthrow the gov
eminent, and numbering innocent
refugees and raping women and
young girls on their way.
The result Of this scientifically
carried out determination was the
murder of five hundred Koreans, but
no one has ever heard whether the
murderers were ever tried. Before
the earthquake there was a liberal
element in japan which opposed the
law the government introduced in the
diet limiting freedom of the press
and speech. During the earthquake
this law was passed by the pronounce
ment of the Prince Regent. There
fore japanese communists and trade
unionists have no voice or power to
organize labor. But so long as the
capitalist system exists the commun-
list movement will exist, whether or
not the government tried to suppress
it. The only task Of the communists
in japan under the circumstances is
to organize the revolutionary trade
unions, to educate them politically
and industrially to use their power of
organization against capitalism.
Comrade Pearl was whole-hearted-
ly greeted by the audience. Mr.. Saito,
representative Of imperialist Japan
answered very stupidity. For instance
he said, "There are no two classes in
Japan" A debate ensued between
Comrade Pearl and Saito. The more
Mr.. Saito tried to explain about con-
ditions in Japan, the more Comrade
Pearl picked out the worse part of
japanese labor conditions and when
Comrade Pearl finally said that the
Japanese working girls in spinning
mills work ten or twelve hours day
and get very small amount Of wages
and are detained in the factory, hav-
ing no freedom for social life except
once a week, and added isn't that
true, Mr.. Saito?" Mr.. Saito an
swered, eyes, but they are very
happy" laughter burst from the au
dience. f

Dead Hand Lives"
Then he gave news Of another
world wonder.
Russian scientific activity has
recently produced another remark
able phenomenon--Dr. Kravnov has
succeeded in keeping alive for about
one year, the severed hand of a
man." said Lasareff.
my friend, DR.. Alexis Carrel Of
the Rockefeller Medical Institute
here, has, l know, kept a tiny piece
Of chicken heart alive for years,
feeding it regularly with a 'nutri-
tious solution. But DR.. Kravnov, of
the Military Medical Academy, of
Petrograd, has succeeded in an ex-
pertinent that has quite different
factors. He has kept this hand
alive and growing for about IL
months, now, without feeding. He
has merely kept it in pure, germ
free air. The growth of the finger
nails and the growth of the hair on
the back of the hand is visible. If
the hair is shaved it grows again.
DR.. Lasareff regards the three
new giant Moscow radio towers as
notable achievements in Russian
engineering.
"There are two wooden masts 45O
meters high and one steel tower of
the same height" he said. "The steel
tower is sort of lattice work. and
while it is half as high as the Eiffel
tower in Paris, it has only one-tenth
Of the weight Of Eiffel tower"
DR.. Lasareff himself drew the
architectural plans for the insti-
tute, of which he is director. He
did this before the revolution and
work was commenced on the build
ing in 1917.
"The new government permitted
the work to go on and is supporting
! the institution" he said.

The American Serf

Economists of the Department of Agricul-
ture have just completed survey of the con-
ditions of the truck farming workers in New
Jersey Among the 683 interviewed by the
government investigators, four-ffths did skilled
work. Forty per cent of these workers had
no other trade. The average earnings, from
all sources, were slightly under $500 year
in 1921. In some cases many of these farm
workers exc out their existence by managing
to secure farm supplies and house room in
directly, that is thru special arrangements with
their employers con such limited earnings
the workers have to practice strict economy
and have little to spend on recreation and adj
vancement."
The seasonal character of farm labor tends
to aggravate the unsatisfactory conditions
The increasing use of farm machinery and the
growing need of skill in caring for the perish
able products, make the lot of the mass of UNI
skilled more miserable. Under these circum-
stances the low pay of the farm workers trans
lates itself into their being denied the most
elementary needs of education home and So
cial life. Thus, three-ffths of the workers
under 16 years of age, who should have been
attending at least continuation schools, were
not making normal progress In their school
work. Out of 140 children of the farm labor
ers only SO were making normal progress.
Thrty-seven per cent were two to six years
behind in their normal grades. Very few of
the adult workers have had the advantage of
high school education. Practically none of
them has been to college. The foreign-born
worker has received less education than the
native-born.
Of this group Investigated about two-thirds
had no ambition to rent, own or operate a
farm. Apparently the intense exploitation of
these workers has stifed all hope in them.
Nearly one-third of them did not know
whether they would stick to agriculture or not
Almost as many had no savings whatever.
This is the condition confronting the work
ers in every industry operated on capital
list basis In the industries that are less de-
veloped, for instance the agricultural industry,
the wage workers very often find themselves
denied even the most elementary needs and
as a rule have lower standard of living than
the average worker of the highly developed
industry

We are in receipt of some publicity from the
democratic party national committee. 1t IS
especially interesting in view of the known
penchant of Samuel Gompers for democrat
administrations and the recent endorsement of
McAdoo by railway officials of the Conference
for Progressive Political Action.
The republican administration is called 'the
most scandalous in history; it is stated that
it Inundated the best element in their party
and have given new impetus to extreme
radicalism which is antagonstic to our
form of government and more or less antago-
nistic to all forms of government" Emphasis
ours.)
After citing a few more misdemeanors of
their republican opponents, the democrat
publicists conclude:
What depIcrable contrast to the eight
years of Wilson's administrations which
successfully conducted the greatest war in
all history, and which, after searching in
vestigation of Republican committees, was
shown to have record free from a single
national scandal.
Passing over the debatable statement that
the Wilson administration was free from scan
dial, we call attention to the accomplishment
with which the democrats point with pride
plunging the nation into a struggle which no
sane statesman dare defend today.
The endorsement of McAdoo by the officials
of the railway unions affiliated with the Con-
ference for Progressive Political Action is evil
dence that these gentlemen are prepared to
campaign for the Wilson son-in-law upon the
war record of himself and his wife's father.
This would surely be a dainty dish to set
before the American workers and farmers
especially the farmers who are now reaping
their share of the harvest of misery that the
war sowed in all countries.
With skepticism the primary requisite for
progress tire democrats regret exceedingly
the distrust of government the Teapot Dome
revelations have caused. This is an accurate
guide to the amount of enmity existing between
the democrat tweedle-dum and the republican
tweedle-dee

ellis Side of the Story"

The threat of Acknowledgement Daugherty
in refusing the request of Senators Pepper
and Lodge to resign from the attorney general
ship is one of the most astounding develop
ments in the whole Teapot explosion. Attor-
ney General Daugherty, arch CRATER and
pace maker in corruption, has told the Old
Guard of his party to keep their hands off his
job on the pain of his taking his side of the
story to the people.
There is no telling what Attorney General
Daugherty might say once he decided to take
the lid off. This threat of the Attorney Cen
eral may put the quietus on the beated efforts
of his colleagues to force his resignation.
Daugherty's oil deals may have struck the
death blow to his tenure of Office but the At
ltorney-General will go when the going suits
him best and not when his friends demand his
head in order to save their own skins.
We would like to hear his side of the
story" We believe that if Attorney General
Daugherty would come forward and tell only
small fraction of what he knows about the
workings of the government that he would for
the first time in his excessively prolonged poll
tical life render service of inestimable value
to the working and farming people of this
country. Daugherty could tell us something
about Senator Pepper and his relations with
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the United
States Steel Corporation. The Attorney-Gen-
eral might even tell us about the great interest
Lodge has in recent years been developing in
the protection of the coal nlagnates
Who is there who knows the government
better than Attorney-General Daugherty, a
past master in the art of prosecuting innocent
working men and protecting criminal capital
lists? The reactionary capitalists controlling
the republican machine are up against it.
When Fall threatened to expose some of the
morally indignant gentlemen who were work
ing overtime denouncing his political dishon-
esty, the Senate was quick to take him off the
witness stand on the plea that further talking
on his part before the investigation committee
might endanger the governments case against
him.
Much an we would like to hear the Attorney
Generals side Of the story, we know in ad-
vance, that we are doomed to disappointment
because we are convinced that the political
wizards running the governmental machinery
of today will resort to some ingenious subter-
fuge to stop Daugherty from telling his side
of the story"
