CLUB
TO RESUME
ACTIVITIES
Democrats Make Plans
For Active
Season
By JEAN ELIOT.
~ ITH the RETURN Of MES. ].

l wv Borden Hartman, preSi-
dent of the Women's Ma
tional Democratic Club, preparations
are being made for a resumption
Of activity by that interesting or
ganization, and its members are
predicting that its programs will
be, like the circus Of tradition, big
ger and better than ever"
Indeed, the Democratic women in
Washington scorn the suggestion
that the club might cease to func-
ton following the Davis defeat
Their theory is that the Democrats
have always been a minority parry
in this country; that they haze
their work to do as minority party,
ard that their field of usefulness
is as large as ever under present
circumstances.
Consequently the first OF the
weekly luncheons at the clubhouse
will be held December 3--Wednes-
day of next week-and an especially
stimulating program is being ar
ranged. The Sunday evening
supper parties which were so popu-
lar last year will be resumed a
little bit later and there are also
to be some Saturday evening festiv-
tiles, the nature Of which is to be
disclosed later.
Although Mrs. Hartman was an
ardent McAdoo supporter, she's
party woman first and last and
worked like the proverbial Trojan
for Davis during the campaign.
Indeed, she feels that If all the
Democrats had done likewise, there
would have been different story
to tell.
Mrs. Blair Resting Up
At Missouri Home.
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair. vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, who made her
home at the Women's Democratic
Club last year with. her able as.
sistant, Mrs. Blair Banister, as her
companion, is now enjoying a we'll
earned rest at her home in Joplin,
Mo. But it is on the cards That
when the committee reconvenes in
January she will be called back to
active service.
Mrs. Banister is now living at
the club and proposes to remain
there this winter, although she, too,
is now in for period of Gin.
editor of the Fortnightly Bulletin,
the house organ" of the women,s
division of the committee, and also
compiled many of the pamphlets
and brochures which were used
as campaign literature.
Mrs. Hartman is widely known
for her salon" gathering about her
at informal supper parties most OF
the political visitors who are leaders
in her party as we'll as the "deserv.
ing Democrats" of Washington. Last
year she transferred a good many
of her parties from her own house
to the Democratic Womens Club,
and it is quite on the cards that
she will do likewise this winter.
1t will be remembered that while
the Democratic convention was on
in New York, Mrs. Hartman occu-
pied her daughters house, manned
it with her own staff of servants
and ministered to many an har-
raised statesman while the conven-
ton was dragging out its weary
length.

tons and certain guarantees of
freedom. America has established,
above all, certain rate of prog
ress and is working out a certain
definite philosophy in regard to her
industry and the relation of human
beings to industry.
1t is Just as we'll for Gompers that
he does not try to be specific and tell
US exactly what standards of living,
what guarantees of freedom, what
rate of progress and what definite
philosophy America has established
and is working out. We do not in
tend to ask him to be specific about
these things and expose himself to
rldicule but we do ask what and
who he means by america"
The Happy Family.
No other conclusion is possible
than by America" he means the
whole social grouping and that he
intends to convey the impression that
Americans are one large family
which collectively and individually is
consciously striving to usher in an
era Of peace and plenty.
In other words, Gompers, as the
official spokesman Of the trade union
movement, rejects entirely the idea
that there are two classes in Amer
lea. He tells us exactly what Ebert
H. Gary, John D. Rockefeller, the
plunderers of the natural resources
and oppressors of the masses and
their mouthpiece, like Coolidge and
Hughes, tel us, that there is only
one class-Americans.
When the admitted leader of the
organized workers of this country
promulgates this puerile 100 per cent
Americanism we can begin to under
stand that almost anything can be ex-
pected when in his official position
he comes in contact with a movement
that laughs long and loud at a con-
ception of modern society-European
or American-that is at such obvious
variance with the facts.
A Major Mistake.
Gompers is frightened by the
strength of the movement for Soviet
recognition in the United States: he
has not been treasured by the recent
recognition of Soviet Russia by the
Labor Party government now in
power in the land of his birth. He
has every reason to be alarmed.
Gompers has made a major tacti-
cal mistake in taking up the role OF
Soviet Russia's bitterest enemy, of
leading the fight against recognition
and of making that fight for the an
nounced reason that recognition
would be tantamount to ruin of the
American trade union movement.
He has placed himself in a position
from which there is no retreat but
which is untenable and the recogni-
ton of Soviet Russia will in all prob
ability mean the downfall Of the
Gompers machine.
Strange BedfelIows.
Labor officialdom, led by Gompers,
has allied itself with the worst enc
mics of the labor movement. It is
the boast of Gompers and John L.
Lewis that their Russian policy is
exactly the same as that of the state
department; in their propaganda
against Russian recognition they
have not scrupled to use material fur
nished them by the worst labor-hat-
ing administration in American his
tory.
The Senate has appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the whole ques-
ton of Russian recognition, includ-
ing the charges of anti-government
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-02-16
The Sickle, the Hammer--and Gompers

propaganda which Gompers claims
his efforts alone have made unsuc-
cessful.
Since the investigation began the
whole Gompers machine has Deeh
set in motion to disseminate the lies,
half-truths and innuendos Of Chester
M. Wright and Wi liam English Wall
ing, the anti-Russian experts Of the
Gompers administration.
Every labor paper III the country
has been furnished with yards of
anti-Soviet and anti Communist ma
terial and many of them, particularly
those that are privately owned and
run in the interest of labor politi-
clans, have printed it.
Recognition of First Importance.
Recognition of the workers and
farmers government Of Russia has
been made the most important issue
before the American trade union
movement. Gompers says in the
February Federatienist:
There is no question in the whole
field of international relations of
more Importance to American labor
than the question of relations with
the Soviet autOcracy.
Because the British Labor Party
before it became the government an
nounced that one of its first acts
would be the recognition of Russia,
the victory that followed brings no
joy to Gompers. He speaks sneer-
ingly of the tremendous achieve
ments of the British workers.
He takes the opportunity to show
again his belief that his policies need
never change tho the world may and
does. He says:
So there is in England a situa-
ton well worth watching. In what
may develop the American Fedora
ton of Labor viii be deeply inter-
ested, but it will find there no rea-
son for abandonment or modifica-
ton of the political program and
political methods which have so
long served admirably to cope with
the situation in the United States.
The same yesterday, today, and
forever and ever, Amenl
1t takes more than a Labor Party
government in the British Empire OF
a workers and farmers government
in one-sixth of the worlds surface
to convince the cautious Gompers
that labor should have a political
party of its own.
Not Real Reason.
But is the conservatism of the
aged and the hatred of class conscious
political action the only reason for
the fury which the thought of Rus
sian recognition arouses in the breast
Of Gompers?
We think not.
Is it a sincere belief that economic
action is all-sufficing for the workers
that is responsible for the Gompers
criticism of the British Labor Party
and his campaign against the forma-
ton of a Farmer-Labor party in the
United States?
Again we think not.
The Communists have a clearly de-
fined program which the experience
of the last two years has shown
makes a tremendous appeal to the
organized workers and which includes
amalgamation into industrial unions,
a mass farmer-labor party and rec
ignition of Soviet Russia.
Gompers has found it hard to fight
against amalgamation and independ-
ent class political action by the organ.
