Organization.
x. The "Old Guard and the Youth.
OUR next difference of opinion
~ with Comrade Trotzky refers to
that passage in his article in which
he says: "a degeneration of the
Old Guard is TO be observed several
times in the development Of history.
Let us take the most recent and
most striking historical example:
The leaders and the parties of the
Second International.
eve know perfectly well that
Wilhelm Licoknecht, Bebel, Singer,
Victor Adler, Kautsky, Bernstein,
Lafargue, Guesde and others have
been direct and immediate disciples
Of Marx and Engels. We know,
however, that all these leaders
some partially, others totally--have,
in the atmosphere of parliamentary
reform and of the strong growth of
the party and trade unions appara-
tus, degenerated towards opportun-
ISM"
Bebel, Lafargue and other dead
leaders, who cannot defend them
selves, are simply cited to point
moral; it was hardly possible to
name the members CT the Political
Bureau, and therefore Bebel, La,
fargue and others arc adduced. This
is clear TO each and everyone. And
which disciples are meant is equally
clear.
Why This Attack?
Comrade Trotzky steps forwards
and says: "You are the immediate
disciples o. Lenin; the disciples of
Marx went over to the side Of the
bourgeoisia under the influence Of
parliamentary conditions, from which
we may conclude that tie same may
happen to you" Of course we can
not take a patent preventative that
of the kind could ever hap
pen to us. Should that which Com
rade Trotzky is frightening US with
really occur, the Party will turn us
out ruthlessly enough.
But what has really happened to
US? Of all the persons adduced by
Comrade Trotzky, the only ones
still living are Kautsky and Bern
stein, and these too are mere politi-
cal corpses adjoining the very ex-
treme right wing Of the Scheide-
mann party, altho they are both
disciples of Marx and Engels. It is
with these that we are compared,
and the comparison is drawn in the
hope that shadow will thus be cast
on the political trend of the ma

Reverse Decisions.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April 3.
The third district court of appeals
has reversed the convictions Of AL
fred Erickson and Lauri Mammi on
criminal syndicalism charges, while
affirming the convictions Of Frank
Cox, R. Kullman and C. E. McGrath.
The court claims membership in the
l. w. w. was mot proved" in the
cases of Erickson and Mammi.
Membership was freely admitted in
all cases and the contradictory de-
cisions are purely arbitrary. The
decisions against Cox, kaufman, and
McGrath will be appealed to the
state supreme court.

Government In Fake
Sherman Law Suit
BY LELAND OLDS.
ederated Press Industrial Editor)

Federated Press Industrial Editor)
Existence of giant electric light
bulb trust which preys on the mil
lions of electric light users in the
country, is charged in a suit filed by
the U. S. government in the Clevc-
land district court. The bill charges
the General Electric Co. and the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufac-
turing Co. with conspiracy to violate
the Sherman antitrust law.
The profits of these two COM
'panies, have been enormous. During
1928 General Electric made a net
profit for dividends amounting to APP
proximately $4,000, 900 or at the
rate of $18 on every 500 share Of
common stock
$ls9,379,05O Profit.
Westinghouse will show net profit
available for dividends approximately
S16,000,000 or at a rate of $3.50 on
each 800 worth of common stock.
The combined profits of the two COM
panies for the last five years total
S189,S79,050 after payment of all
fixed charges, and are shown year By
year as follows:

Profits of General Electric, the
principal in the electric light bulb
conspiracy, show hardly any diminu-
tion during the depression of 1921.
General Electric, according to the
governments suit, controls practical
~ the entire sale of tungsten lamps
IN the United States. This means
that n single great corporation is in
a position to levy q monopoly profit
on practically every user Of cleo
tricity for lighting purposes in the
country, for during 1923 approx
mately 1913 per cent of the electric
bulbs used were tungsten filaments.
Million Bulbs A Day.
The magnitude of the business is
apparent when we find that during
1923, 341,00O,O0O electric light
bulbs were manufactured in the
United States or more than a million
for every working day. And the fact
that only 80 per cent Of the nations
homes are yet equipped with electric
lights leads these companies to pre-
dict continuation of the rapid in
crease in the business which has
characterized recent years.
The governments petition de-
mands that system of contracts ex-
listing between the General Electric
and the several companies engaged in
distribution of the lamps be adjudged
n violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law and that they be annulled. It
asserts this contract system has been
created for defeating the law by
preventing competition. The bust
ness probably amounts to s50,0OO,-
600 a year.

.||NBA[|ST IS AN
ORCHESTRA
On VIOLIN
Master Delights Critical and
Fashionable Audience at
the National.
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

II you have passed the thirtieth
milestone Of life you won't expert.
| ence much difficulty in recalling
the "one-man orchestras" that Tor
is it "who?') wandered through the
city streets.
Versatility was the keynote Of
these itinerant musicians success.
The orchestra" succeeded in play
ing e violin, mouth organ, bass
drum, cymbals and tiny bells with
supreme nonchalance and bizarre
effect.
All Of which brings us to the star
tling revelation that we heard a
"one-man orchestra" perform yes
terday. 1t wasn't in the streets,
either, but on the dimly lighted
concert stage of the National Thea
ter. And the First Lady Of the
Land and sundry official and diplo-
matte ladies and gentlemen ap-
plauded as heartily as we used to
do when the wandering musician
played before our house many,
many years ago.
Rolls Back the Years.
Efrem Zimbalist, the violinist over
whom critics rave in fulsome praise,
elderly ladies' weep and strong men
grow blisters on their applauding
palms, rolled back the curtain of
years and revealed to us, though in
much more genteel manner. the
aged "one-man orchestra" of the
past.
If you who were at the concert
yesterday listened carefully enough
you would have heard the shrilling
flutes, the mellifluous cellos, and the
Woodwinds, harp and string choir
all emanating from one violin at
the beck and call of a master.
IL wasn't the program itself that
was so appealing: it was the manner
In which Zimbalist played 1t. The
first number was a Bach prelude, a
perpetuum mobile study, fraught
with intricacies and executed at
steam-engine speed.
His Concerto Fine.
The Mendelssohn concerto. a thing
of moods, was perhaps the best thing
Zimbalist did. In the allegro move.
ment long cadenza, with cello-like
tones ana harp accompaniment, was
performed with fine technical skill.
Salnt-Saens' "Havanaise" contain
ed little to conjure up visions of the
ianguorous South. York Bowen's
Humoresque" was a delightful,
though unimportant, bit of work,
while Zimbalist's own fantasy on
Rimsky-Korsakoff's Cog dor" was
charming.
Two bits from Sarasate's pen

completed the program.

pass without giving q bit OF a puff
