Exploiting the Negroes

1t is not only the white capitalists who exploit
the Negro workers. The black capitalists get theE
hand in the game Also even tho they haven
billiOnares among them to dramatic their part
in grinding down the Negro workers But there
is another exploitation going on among the Ne
gPoes that is brought sharply into the foreground
this month by the convention of the Marcus Garvey
organization in New York. 1t is the exploitation
of the desire for emancipation by turning this de-
sire toward a Utopian "back to Africa" project
instead of organizing for emancipation here in
America; by substituting a lot of hocuspocus
about making God and his angels in the form of
Negroes instead of fighting for the rights of the
Negroes here earth as part of the working
class; by diverting the whole movement of awaken
ing darkskinned workers into the blind alley of
evasion of the pressing problems in America for
the bright dreams of migration to another con-
tinent
To the extent that Negroes have achieved or
ganization, and have been jolted out of the old
ways of thought, some good has come out of the
Universal Negro Improvement Association. 1t is
not suggested for a moment that Negro workers
should cease from activity in this and in all other
mass organizations which contain large numbers
of workers. and present the opportunity for these
workers to crystalline Themselves as a definite
group, advancing definite demands outlining a
definite program directed towards connecting up
the struggles of the white and black workers into
one common struggle But when class-conscous
Negro workers enter into such movement as the
Garvey aggregation, they must do so with the de-
finite objective always in mind, of injecting the
issues of the class struggle, of showing the Negro
workers the fundamental hostility of all capital
ists black and white to their interests-and the
fundamental unity Of interests Of the white and
black workers
The dramatics of Marcus Garvey, under cover of
which he sabotages the struggle against the Ku
klux Khan, while he builds up petty bourgeois
circle of "leaders" with vested interest in sub
DUNG the class struggle in America with the opiate
of emancipation thru running away from this
continent, another form of the exploitation of
the Negro. Only thru struggle against such ideas
and against such leadership will the Negro work
ers be able, in cooperation with their. white
brothers, to abolish exploitation.

LeSe Majesty in Wisconsin

Chatting under the iron dictatorial rule of La
LaFollette machine, Lieutenant Governor Comings
strongly protests against the senator's endorsement
of Governor John j. Blaine
Lieutenant Governor Comings is running against
Blaine, the present incumbent in the gubernatorial
office for the high honors of chief executive of the
state. Mr. Comings feels that his own chances
have been seriously hurt by LaFolIette's endorse
ment of his opponent. He therefore throws back
in Battling Bobs" face the plea the latter made
when he was running for district attorney in Dane
county without the approval of the political
higherups of those days.
II know reason why should consult YOU /
have been out in the country consulting the peo-
pie" is the Comings answer to LaFollette the big
boss of Wisconsin politics. These are the very
words used by LaFollette when he was fighting the
bosses in 1880 and seeking to become the state
boss himself.
This defiance of LaFoette is really lese majesty
in Wisconsin. In the Badger state LaFollette's
word is law. AS a lover of the purest of democracy
Mr.. LaFollette has set up a dictatorial political
machine in his state, excelling in bossism the ma
chimes of nearly every other state in the country
Worse than that BY endorsing Governor Blaine
LaFollette is making an attempt to continue his
iron hold on the state machinery And in making
this attempt LaFollette is supporting a governor
who has time and again shown distinct hostility to
the workers. We need but recall the attitude of
Governor Blaine in the controversy over the aboli
ton Of the National Guard
Mr.. Comings had better beware not to lose his
head on LaFollette's political execution block To
remind the senator of Blaines being an enemy of
genuine progressivism is to be wasting valuable
time LaFolette has misused phrases for too many
years to be scared by such talk. Battling Bob has
entered the ring for Blaine because he is con
WINGED that the governor is better fitted than
Comings and the best fitted to keep intact the
system of fraudulent progressivism now holding
sway in Wisconsin.

Watch This Reconstruction!

From the American Civil Liberties Union we
learn of efforts now being made by the attorney
general to overhaul the department of justice and
give it more of normal" less of a state-of-siege
like appearance.
If what Mr. Stone has said is the truth, then at
least sixty agents of the department of justice
have been dismissed since his appointment The
redbating division of this department is being cut
down. Furthermore our learned attorney general
is also replacing professional detectives by law
school graduates. Outright cooperation with So
called patriotic societies in their antilabor and
open shop propaganda is also reported to be in
growing disfavor with the new department of
justice head.
1t is yet too early to say definitely whether this
reorganization of that department of the United
States government, which serves as the invisible
underground link between the biggest business in
terests and the most responsible governmental
figures, will serve to increase its efficiency in rem
dering service to the employing class. Sufficient
time has not yet elapsed to give the new system
a chance to work
All we do know is that at bottom the substitu-
ton of ignorant inefficient, easily detected de-
tectives with smooth, cultured, highly trained law
students, is not in itself boon to the workers.
Under Stones rule, well as under Daugherty's
rule, the department of justice and all the other
departments in the United States government are
securely in the hands of the big bosses. No one
can disguise the fact that long this condition
prevails the lawyer-detectives may prove even more
deadly effective against the working men than the
incompetent gang of bootlegging stool pigeons
formerly in the employ of Burns.
At this time there is one thing certain about the
reorganization of the department of justice. As a
result of the dismissal of of these scab
herders and spies, the private detective agencies
will redouble their efforts to demoralize and dis
rnpt the workers organizations. Many of these
stray watch dogs of the open shoppers will be en-
ployed by the private agencies special radical,
'red experts"
The probable transfer of the army of stool
pigeons from the Washington payroll to the roster
of private, scab, detectives agencies should put
every labor organization extra guard against
these dangerous parasites and against such
poisonous influx.

preaching. The productive forces OF
America must seek a constantly wild
ening outlet to the world market. The
export trade of the United States can
develop only at the expense of the
trade of Great Britain, and the Ameri-
can merchant marine and military
feet can develop only at the expense
of the British feet. The period of
agreement between England and Am.
erica must develop into a period, of
growing antagonism between these
two countries, and this, in turn, means
the danger of world-war of proper
tons yet unknown.
The antagonism between Japan and
the United States is retaining it's full
degree of acrimony. The earthquake
in Japan upset the balance of power
between the two countries, but the
enmity has not become less bitter.
The exclusion of Japanese immigrants
from the United States has lent the
imperialist battle in the Pacific Ocean
something of the character of racial
struggle. In the event of a clash be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, Japanese militarism will I'M
doubtedly play more active part
than it played in the last war.
At the present, the untold wealth
of the bourgeoisie of the United States
constitutes a great danger in the
world situation. The temporary iso.
lation of the United States, designed
in order that it's ill-gotten wealth
might be digested, is coming to an
end. North American capital requires
expansion in all directions. One of
these paths leads to the South. Pres.
sure on Mexico is bound to become
stronger, and at the same time there
are sure to be further intrusions into
South America; European capital will
be forced out and the complete sub.
lection of these countries will follow.
The militarism of the United States
will inevitably take on more active
and more progressive character, not
only on the American continents, but
also on the seas.
The progress Of the revolutionary
movement in the orient during the
course of the past ten years is giving
to the imperialist domination Of these
colonies, more and more, the char

The smaller states, of Europe are
behind the great powers in strength,
but not in avarice or in all-nature.
The small states which existed prior
to the war have forfeited the last
remnant of their independence, while
the new states, which were carved
out Of the war, are being born into
the world with the iron ball Of de-
pendence chained to their feet. At
the command of the great powers, the
medium-sized states and the small
states are grouped together in various
ways. The states which are located
in central Europe feel themselves
drawn toward France, as prisoner
feels himself drawn to his jailer. The
small states on the coasts Of Europe
bend the knee to England. The
choice between two lashes is being
made by the, small states, not on the
basis of desire, but on the basis of
their situation taken as whole. The
last war demonstrated Ito a sufficient

Without a particle of doubt, a new
war would within a few days after it's
outbreak draw the majority of the
small states into the bloody mael-
strom. The militarism of the coun.
tries of the little entente, of the Bal
kan states or the Baltic states is a
source of help for the great powers
and at the same time source of dan
ger in the relations which thees small
states have with one another.
The sharpest of the worlds antag-
onisms has been brewing for a long
time, but it is unwaveringly following
the line of conflict between the inter-
ests of British Imperialism and the in
terests of the United States. During
the past two years it has seemed as
tho lasting agreement had been
achieved between these two giants.
But the semblance of permanency will
remain only until the economic i'm
provement of the North American Re-
public is consummated upon the basis
of the home market. This develop

In dismembered China the imperial

troops of mercenarfes, a regime Of
masked military occupation. The strug-
gle of the Chinese people for unity
and independence is at every step
meeting with the opposition of the

Of the many millions of Chinese are
beating with righteous anger, with
barely suppressed hatred. Here, as in
India, revolutionary organization is
springing up as a result of bitter
trials and repeated effort, which can
be summoned to free China from for
eign deposits and also from its own.
France, which has advanced the
borders Of it's colonies, is making des-
perate attempts to multiply the
sources Of its Imperialism, and to
this end it is subjecting not only the
Arabs, but also the Negroes, to the
rule of capitalism. The military trnin-
ing Of the coiored peoples is designed
not only to build up reserve power
for future wars, but it is hoped that
the black and yellow regiments will
also be useful tool in the hands of

Part of the great battle of the clothing workers

in the Manifesto of the Communist

The Versailles peace treaty and the
last imperialist war are pregnant
with the seeds of another war. The
ruling classes of France are coming
to feel, more and more strongly, that
the reign of terror they have created
in Europe cannot continue much long
err. The French bourgeoisie-reac-
tionaries and radicals in
equal fear of German revenge, but
at the same time they are challenging
it and preparing for it. The German
bourgeoisie, which is willing to come
to an agreement at the expense of the
people, is for it's own part waiting i'm
patiently for the hour of revenge to
strike. The antagonism between Eng
land and France in Europe and in the
colonies is coming to a head. Diplo-
matte treaties and pacts are, it is
true, acting as screen for this
process, but they are not retarding it..

crime for the father to plan to send
his son to school. Apparently work
ers must be penalized for attempting
to secure an education.
Protesting against the burden plac-
ed on the workers thru costly liti-
cation in courts, the Wisconsin State
Federation Of Labor convention held
on July Is to IS of this year, de-
clared: "The whole matter has been
in litigation for years, and we do not
know how many more years these
cases will be dragged. Compare these
with the rapidity with which courts
act in the issuance of injunctions in
labor disputes"
Organized labor in Wisconsin has
been especially bitter in it's protests
against costly litigation in the courts.
The workers have suffered especially
in compensation cases. We learn
from a statement by r. G. Knutson,
member of the State Industrial Com
mission, appearing in the report of
the Wisconsin State Federation of La
Dor for 1922, that: "In the eleven
years in which the compensation act
has been enforced, during which time
over 100 appeals have been taken by
workmen, there has not been a single
case in which an injured workman
ever got a cent thru an appeal"
From the 1921 convention proceed
ings of the State Federation of La
Dor, we learn to what extent the
workers have been suffering from in.
functions in LaFollette's model COM
monwealth. We cite the following re-
solution adopted apropos this abuse:
Whereas, four of our brothers,
members Of labor unions of Rhine
lander, are confined in the county
jails of Oneida and Langlade coun-
ties, having been sentenced to impris-
onment on charges of contempt of
court by Circuit Judge Reid, follow
ing the issuance OF an Injunction
against the paper mill workers, and
in behalf of the RhineIander Paper
Co.
Whereas, these four brothers,
Peter J. Christ, Matthew Jefracke,
Victor Venue, and Steven Shelbrack,
have sacrificed their liberty in a
struggle against oppression by a
greedy corporation, therefore be it
Resolved, by the Wisconsin Fed
Grafton Of Labor, in convention as
sembled, July 10, 1921, in the city
Of Manitowoc, that we extend hearty
greetings to these brothers who have
preferred prison bars to submission
to autocratic impositions and assure
them that organized labor will con-
tinue to devote its energies to elimin-
ate industrial and judicial injustices."
Finally, in 1922, the State Fedora
ton OF Labor was compelled to pass
a special resolution against the courts
OF Wisconsin along the following
lines?
Whereas, we are OF the belief that
some judges hold shares Of stock and
have financial interests in companies,
firms, and corporations, and
Whereas, by the holding OF such
shares of stock and having such fnan-
cial interests they are very apt to be
prejudiced in their judgments and
decisions, therefore be II
Resolved that II Is the sense OF
this convention that such a condition
is not consistent with Justice, espe-
cially in cases arising out Of strikes,
such as injunctians and assault and
battery cases."
