Mask May Be Torn off.

It is possible that Big Business,
after this years campaign, will be
compelled to throw it's mask aside and
come out into the open, definitely
naming its political expression. 1t
cannot always continue it's Punch
and Judy show.
There should be no doubt this
year about who is to gain by the cleo
ton Of either the democratic or re-
publican candidates. Coolidge is the
figurehead of the biggest open shop
pers. His campaign manager is Will
liam Morgan Butler, the textile multi
millionaire, proud open shop lord over
New England's unorganized textile
mills. Dawes is the head of the Cen
trail Trust Company, one of Chicago's
biggest banks. A million hoops of
steel couldn't tie the republican ticket
closer to the predatory business inter
ests of the nation.
On the democratic side it has
already been shown that Davis is the
lawyer of the House of Morgan.
Davis says he has renounced his Wall
Street connections for the purposes
of the campaign. But that is easier
said that done. Davis remains the
corporation lawyer, the legal lackey
of his class, the defender of the open
shoppers of his own state of West
Virginia. and of the great robber bar
ons of his adopted New York City.

|cuted and prosecuted them to advance
and safeguard the interests of the
mine owners.
The democratic and republican can
didates are, therefore. alike in their
pretensions of friendliness for labor.
All old party candidates are friendly
to labor-before election day. They
are just as friendly as they can be.
Some of them even kiss the babies
of the workers on their campaign
tours. But that is before election
day.

49,
Get Labor Lieutenants" Cheap.
1t is not surprising that there are
labor officials endorsing both the po-
litical expressions of Wall Street in
this campaign. 1t is an easy thing
to buy up American labor leaders.
They come cheap.
Major George L. Berry, the Ameri-
can Legion head of the Printing
Pressmen's Union, continues to lick
the boots of the democratic party. He
has come out in support of the Davis
Bryan" ticket, after being kicked in
the face at Madison Square Garden
and told to take his vice-presidential
aspirations elsewhere. But at least
he was allowed to have his name
placed in nomination.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, was
merely mentioned, long before the re-
publican convention met at Cleveland,
as a vice-presidential possibility. His
name was never considered, however,
by the Cleveland convention.
Lewis, like Berry, nevertheless,
would rather get kicked in the face by
the bosses, than fight the bosses on
behalf of the working class he is sup
posed to represent.
Lewis, the head of one of the most
radical organizations of American la
Dor, has done the well-nigh impossible
thing of endorsing the Coolidge
Dawes" candidacy. But he has com
mitted that crime against the great
membership of his organization.
Lewis is now member of the adj
visory committee Of the Coolidge
Campaign. Only the campaign itself
can develop the kind of advice that
Lewis intends handing the Fascist

For Donkey and Elephant.

Judge Gary is republican in politics.
The Fascist, Charles Gates Dawes, re-
publican candidate for vice-president,
is Gary's ideal. When Dawes talks
about getting the common sense"
vote, Gary knows that Dawes means
the vote that will allow the steel trust
to continue its heavy profit-taking.
Charles H. Schwab, head of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, perhaps
the largest among the Independents,
is also republican.
But down in Alabama, Oscar Under
wood, of the Gulf Coast Steel Co., is
the democratic senator from that
state, and the perennial aspirant for
the presidential nomination in demo-
cratic conventions. "24 for Alabama
PA for Underwood" was one of the
monotone EXPLANATIONS repeated al
most without ending at the Madison
Square Garden convention of the dem
ocratic party.
The steel industry is republican in
republican Pennsylvania. 1t is demo
cratic in democratic Alabama. That's
because the steel industry is non-par-
tisan in politics.

The billion dollar steel trust is sat

Der elections will not disturb the
equanimity of the capitalist system.
1t INDUCES in this self-assurance two
months before the elections.
But the reason for this optimism is
readily understood when the non-par-
tisanship in politics of the steel in
dustry is analysed.

Whichever way the workers turn,
as between the two old parties, they
are face to face with their oppres-
sors. Millions have discovered this
fact this year, and are blindly turning
to the LaFollette-Wheele ticket. La
Toilette, the republican! Wheeler, the
democrat Both the enemies of the
class interests of the workers and
farmers. Both the defenders of the
present order of things. But the La
Toilette candidacy has been ably dealt
with in the series of articles by Jay
Lovestone appearing in these col
umns.. These articles should be read

Coolidge Talks Nonsense.

Big business will permit the two
old parties to claim, in as loud tones
as they desire, that they are the
friends of labor In fact, that has al
ways been its policy.
The Republican Campaign Text
Book for 1924, just out, issued by the
Republican National Committee, de-
votes Chapters XVI, XVII and XVIII,
in telling what the republican party
has done for labor. The chapter head
ings are Labor Record of the Presi-
dent" six pages; Labor and the Re-
publican Party" ten pages, and "Wo-
men and Children in Industry" seven
pages.
But the whole philosophy Of the re-
publican party toward labor may be
summed up in Cautious Car' Cool
idge's own declaration, prominently
featured, that mo progress was ever
made by regarding mankind as
cheap"
That was Coolidge's stand in Veto
ing the bonus for the soldiers. He
wouldn't cheaper their patriotism by
putting a cheap price on it. Perhaps
that is why nothing is done for the
unemployed. 1t would cheaper the
jobless to be paid doles equal to their
regular pay, to get a few crusts of
bread. If Coolidge intended any 9th
er meaning for his silly nonsense. an

duct an investigation and try to dis
cover it.

This Smell Goes Far.

Just by way of parenthesis it may
be mentioned that the strikebreaking
records of both Berry and Lewis have
been endorsed, one hundred per cent
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
has come out for Senator LaFollette
for president. The smell of a scah
goes far, like that of a polecat. So
there is enuf for LaFollette, too. Per.
haps Gompers thot that LaFollette's
program for his so-called, imaginary
"clean government" extended even to
the cleansing of polecats. That might
explain the strange alliance of the
head of the American Federation of
Labor with the Wisconsin senator.
"Big Biz" Knows Where to Go.
Steel is republican in Pennsylvania
and democratic in Alabama. When
Wall Street picks its labor lieuten-
ants it gets it's democrats, either
among the Tammany Hall ranks in
New York, or it goes into the "Solid
