The Republican Trinity

Newspapers report that the plans for the repub-
lican campaign are being laid in conference to-
day between Coolidge, Dawes and c. Bascom
Slemp. A wonderful combination, this trinity
should arouse the enthusiasm of the masses-for a
farmer-labor party. The republican trinity should
arouse the anger and resentment of the workers
and farmers if anything can do it,
Coolidge-who broke the policemens strike in
Boston, who vetoed the soldiers bonus who
blocked the farm-relief bills, who cancelled the
postal workers wage increase, who has been 100
per cent for Wall Street On every issue before the
country.
Dawes-the appointee of Morgan in the Euro
pean experts commission, the banker who belongs
to the inside gang of Wall Street the 'open shop
per-" who wants to break up even the most mild
and reactionary unions, the Fascist who organized
the Minute Men of the Constitution, the militant
enemy of the workers and farmers in every phase
of life
Slemp-"political secretary" to the president,
the connection with the political underworld the
gobetween oil deals peddling of favors, and all
the Shiny secret side of capitalist politics. from
whom even the capitalists turn in disgust, and
who is carefully kept in the background to keep
the tender stomachs of the 'decent people, from
being turned.
Truly picture of the degradation of capitalist
politics is given us in the trinity that today is
mapping out the campaign for the republican de-
partment of the Wall Street Party. The demo
Gratis will have to search for several more days
before they can pick out an equally malodorous
gang with which to compete for the favors of their
common masters.

Morgan is Master

1t is not a coincident that one of Morgan's APP
pointees to the Experts Commission on Repara-
tons is big gun at the republican convention,
while another plays decisive part in the demo
cratic lovefeast. Charles G.. Dawes, of the repub-
can department of the House of Morgan, becomes
the running mate for Coolidge, while Owen ID.
Young of the democratic section of the same bank
ing combination, dictates the democratic plank on
foreign relations. 1t is the living proof that Nor
gan is master in both camps.
World Imperialism today hinges around the
enslavement of Central Europe. Morgan, re
presenting the young giant of American capital
ism, is establishing his hegemony over the capital
list world. The basic issue today, epitomizing the
world struggle between the proetariat and the
bourgeoisie, is whether German and Entente cap
italism can coin from the blood of the workers of
Central Europe the cost Of the war, and thus stab
lize the system of exploitation for another period
Morgans program, the DawesYoung report, is
made the common basis for the platform of demo
cratic and republican parties. The only means
the working masses have to vote against Morgan
and Imperialism is to vote for the Farmer-Labor
Party candidates-McDonald and Bouck.

Purity of the Drama

The appellate court in New York has upheld the
verdict prohibiting the production of the drama,
"God of Vengeance by Sholem Asch, which was
stopped about year, ago after beginning re
markable popular run. 1t was charged that the
play was 'obscene" because it dealt with brethel
1t is a popularity of conceptions of purity in
a capitalist society, that public morals can be
protected by ruling off the stage, out of literature
and from the newspapers any work dealing seri-
ously with such problems as prostitution, while
the actual evils themselves grow and multiply
apace in every community unchecked Whatever
the merits of the prohibited play, the same moral
code rules it off the stage as Indecent" that, at
the time lifts to the highest places in the ma

radiation produced by rotten and collapsing in

single department store in New York City,
with its miserable wages, it's inhuman exploita-
ton, its capitalist tyranny will do more in one
week to degrade public morals than the worst
imaginable drama could do in years. But morals
has nothing to DO with the protection of wages,
hours and living conditions in industry, in the
eyes of a capitalist society.
1t is interesting to note that, in Soviet Russia,
commercialized vice entirely disappeared up until
the partial reintroduction of capitalist markets
under the new economic policy, according to the
observations of observers friendly and otherwise.
And since the new economic policy brot back
of the evils of capitalism the strict enforce
ment of the protective legislation for all labor the
social insurance, the maternity protection, and
provisions against unemployment, together with
a great stimulus to education, have been able to
keep this social scourge of prostitution to min
imum.
But of course it is too much to expect capitalist
courts to join in making the revolution in America.
1t is so much easier to rule prostitution off the
stage and out of books, while it is allowed to CON
tinue its devastation among the population

VkIHAT was it that Michael said to

the living incarnation of the spirit of

"Peace" in the Electrical Industry

"There has not been a strike or lockout of con
sequence in the electrical industry during the past
year." declared Chas. P. Ford secretary of the
electrical workers union.
Ford seems to think this is something to brag
about. But what has been the price of this peace"
of which he is so proud The employers in the
electrical industry have been very glad indeed to
make all sorts of concessions, all in small way,
thru their Council for Industrial Relations. They
have done so because thereby they have purchased
immunity from organization of the vast body of
workers in the electrical industry.
The number of electrical workers organized in
unions is small. The industry is wealthy and
growing by leaps and bounds. If those who are
organized in unions can be made to block the or
ganization of the rest of the workers in the indus
try, and leave them helpless and without means of
demanding justice, why should not the employers
be very glad to use such means. They have been
glad and they have used that means-they have
made concessions to the relatively small group
organized in the I. B. q. W., and that union has
left the bulk of the industry unorganized as the
price for their own small advancement
This may be 'peace" in the industry for a little
group of privileged workers., who have deserted
their fellow workers and entered into an alliance
with the employers; but it is not peace for the
hundreds of thousands subject to the daily exploit
tation of the electrical trust without any organza-
ton to protect them 1t is not peace to the 10000
workers in the Western Electric plants of Chicago,
and it is not peace to the hundreds of thousands
turnout the land who are thus abandoned.
There can be no real peace in the electrical in
dustry until the workers therein in close organza-
ton with the rest of the working class has taken
oyer the electrical industry. Until that time there
must II struggle against the capitalist exploiters
and those who talk of peace, talk treason.
