A Startling Contrast

In the same days news came the stories of the
unseating of Rose Wortis, left winger at the con-
vention of the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Convention, in Boston, and of the sue
cessful efforts of another left winger, Nathan
Rosen, in waging an organization drive for the
same union at Waukegan, Illinois.
This must appear as a startling contrast to the
members of '"The International" A left winger
is good enough to face injunction writs get beaten
up on the picket line, thrown into foul police sta
ton cells to do all the important and necessary
work of a strike. Rosen's efforts have prevented
scab work being done in that city against the Chi
cago strike, just as the Chicago left wingers have
shouldered the burden of the Chicago struggle.
But left winger is not good enough, in the
eyes of the Sigman dictatorship in the union, to
sit on joint boards executive councils, and act as
delegates in international conventions where the
work of the organization is DONE where policies
are determined and provisions made for carrying
them out.
There is only one conclusion that can be
drawn. 1t isn't the loyalty to the union the abi-
ty, the union activities that the Sigman reaction
fears 1t is the ideas of the left wingers to which
the Sigman offcialdom is opposed. Amalagama-
ton, shop councils, the allnclusve class Farmer
Labor Party,-these ideas challenge the rule of
reaction thruout the entire labor movement. They
paralyze Sigman as well as Gompers. 1t is because
they faithful to these ideas that the left wing
ers feel the heel of persecution and ostracism
Rose Wortis was unseated at the Boston con-
vention because her voice and vote would strength
en- the support of these vital issues. The immedi-
ate excuse for robbing her of her convention pri-
vileges that she had refused to file declara-
ton with the General Executive Board that she
was not member of the Trade Union Educational
League. But the Sigman dictatorship was so
fearful of its rule that it gagged all discussion of
the real isses at stake. The verdict was born of
hysteria and prejudice.
In the meantime, the left wingers continue
their work on the organizations frontiers. The
membership WILL in time, learn the important les
son of this startling contrast of Rose Wortis, at
Boston, and Nathan Rosen, at Waukegan. And
they will throw their full weight on the side of
progress, supporting the ideas that their present
dictators fear.

The Fear of Communism

The German Fascist parties, that made their
campaigns on an anti-Dawes plan platform, have
suddenly changed their minds since the votes were
counted, and it became known that more than four
million ballots were cast for Communism
The Nationalist Party, especially, that captured
the largest number of reichstag seats, and will be
called on to form the new cabinet, toppled over
in surrender to the Dawes-MOrgan plan, in order
to win the necessary support of the Center (Catho
lic) and the Peoples (StinAes) parties
This means that the Communists stand alone in
opposition to the plan to bring the German work
ers under the lash of the House of Morgan. The
German Fascist have shown, like their counter
parts in other countries that they love Morgan
munist supremacy threatens SHINES made his
deals with the French industrialist, Loucheur, to
keep the workers in the Ruhr in submission. But
Ruhr labor showed its stand Sunday by voting
Communist almost unanimously. Since all the
anti Communist parties in Germany are now show
ing such affection for the American Millionaire it
is taken for granted that the tremendous Com
munist showing last Sunday is only the beginning
that new masses will continually rally to the lead
ership of the German Communist Party.
German capitalism, as well as the money power
Street, is the enemy of the German workers and
farmers German capitalism, in fear of Com
munism, will betray the German masses into the
grip OF foreign reaction This is daily becoming
clearer to all German labor. Hence the rapidly
approaching and complete triumph of Communism
in Germany.

The combined war and domestic debt of the com
monwealth of Australia amounts to over 5000 per
capita. This means that every man. woman and
child In Australia in addition to subsistence must
be exploited for at least enough to pay interest on
debt that has been saddled upon the masses by
the British and Australian capitalists. The work
ingclass of Australia works for the fnancecap-
italists and compared with this problem that of
keeping Australia white, sinks into significance.
The bugaboo of the ''yellow peril" is doubtless
of great assistance to the imperialists in keeping
the more important matter of who owns Australia
from becoming of too much interest to the Austria
liam workingclass 1t works rather well in Cali
fornia at any rate.

Bessarabia Is Russian

1t did not matter to the trainers of the Yer
salIes peace that Bessarabia was Russian The
rights of self-determination were ground under
foot here, as everywhere else, by the Paris treaty
makers.
Nearly six years after the war ended, however,
the rumblings of a new war are heard along the
Dniester River. At least Russia stands ready to
defend the rights of the Bessarabian population
against the Roumanian oppressors.
The city workers and farmers of Bessarabia
have shown, in many ways, that it is their desire
to become part Of the Union Of Soviet Repub-
lies Against them, however, is raised the bloody
fist of Roumanian fascist rule backed by France
and the Little Entente. The flames of war again
threaten the Balkans. But not in local, nation
alistic wars. 1t is test of strength between the
Soviet Rule of Moscow, the friend Of oppressed
peoples everywhere, and World Imperialism, that
seeks to enslave all nations under its profit rule.
Let the workers of all nations, the United States
in particular, watch the Developments around Bes-
saraba. They may closely affect them in the very
near future,

The Polish cabinet may pass law
limiting the freedom of speech Of the
President Of Poland. President Vol
ciechowski recently made two speech
es which could be interpreted as rec
ommending an imperialistic policy.
We suggest that the cabinet follow
the traditional policy OF the British
cabinet in handling the utterances OF
the king. One Of the prime minister's
office boys writes the speech, and the
king obediently delivers II. To a
certain extent the same is true OF
some American presidents. In lieu Of
that we suggest that Poland exchange
presidents with the United States.
Calvin would not cause the Polish
cabinet any trouble and we would
have a lot OF fun trying TO get our
tongue around the new presidents
name.

not only is publicity" as to its
programs avoided, but for the most
part the artists are to be yelled in

spirit of music. At the first recital

I'm told that they even went so

from behind screens. And, every

being closed hard and fast ten
minutes before theAprogram opened.
