Preparing For the Coming Struggles

in the recent decision of the federal
supreme court "upholding" a provis-
ion in the Clayton Act which pre-
scribes jury trial in certain contempt
cases, namely, contempt cases which
arise out Of violations Of anti-strike
injunctions. On the face of it this
ruling Of the supreme court seems
for workers who violate injunctions
the right to trial by jury. An impor-
tant concession to labor, isn't It? The
capitalist press is already sermoniz-
ing on the magnanimity and impartial
ity Of the supreme court, attempting
to prove that by this ruling the. in
junction ceases to be an unconstitu-
tional method for breaking strikes.
But what is the truth? The power
of the courts to issue injunctions has
not been touched at all. The courts
still enjoy that right. And once an
Injunction has been issued, all the
powers Of the government automatic
ally come into operation to enforce the
injunction, that is, to break the strike.
Even upon superficial examination
this ruling Of the supreme court will
be found to be nothing else but a DO
litical maneuver by big capital to con-
fuse and demoralize the workers. Big
capital is on the job. 1t knows what
1t wants and it knows how to get it.
Small and Medium Capital.
The small and medium capitalists
have become very conscious of late of
their respective groups and sectional
interests. They, too, know what they
want, and are working pretty hard to
get it. The LaFollette movement is a
good indication.
AS between the big and small capt.
talists, the latter are naturally less
resourceful than the former in de-
Tending their interests, for the simple
reason that small capital is not a dom
mating class. Economically it is com
pletely in the hands of big capital
However, when driven by necessity to
political action independent of the big
capitalists, the smaller capitalists in
alliance with the labor bureaucracy
have managed to execute a maneuver
which strengthens considerably. the
political power and prestige of the
middle classes.

STANDARD of living of the American
working masses is going down. We
are fast approaching a situation where
capital in the United States will again
resume the offensive in new wage
cuts and open-shop campaigns. What
will the masses do?
They Will Demand Leadership.
They will demand leadership in
struggle, and they will find that lead
ership neither in the trade-union bu-
reaucracy nor in the LaFollette move
rlent. What will be the result? Spon-
taneous. unorganized struggles by the
rank and file in defiance not only of
the, capitalists but also OF the labor bu-
reaucracy. The masses will be driven
to fight irrespective Of whether they
have or they have not an organized
and conscious leadership. They will
create, if necessary, their own
organs Of struggle and will proceed TO
defend themselves.
What will be the duty of the Com
munists? What will be the task of
the Workers Party?
To assume leadership Of these strug-
giles. To assist and encourage the
masses in resisting the offensive Of
capital by the creation of direct rank
and file organs of struggle (shop-
committees, councils of unemployed,
labor congresses, etc.), by compelling
the amalgamation of craft unions into
militant industrial unions, and by as
Stunning direct charge of the daily pro-
letarian struggles against capital.
The workers of America are enter
ing upon period of sharp industrial
and political conflicts with their old
leadership completely bankrupt. The
Workers Party, as the vanguard Of the
American working class, must there
fore prepare itself in time for the full
fillment of its duties. In entering this
election campaign under its own name
and with its own program and candi-
dates, the Workers Party has merely
laid the basis for more militancy and
greater measure of self-assertion Of
the organised Communists of America
in the everyday struggles of the Am
erican working class. In other words,
we only made a beginning. Now, let
us follow it up.

trade unions They have a right to
criticise them so sharply I myself
became convinced of this in 1922,
when began to follow events in Ger
many. The bourgeoisie replied to the
Hague Trade Union Peace Congress
with the occupation of the Rhur, and
the European proletariat not only
failed to take up the struggle for the
liberation of the German proIetariat,
but it did not even make a single at
tempt to do so.
On the whole, maintain that the
Russian tactics were correct. 1t will
only be possible to achieve anything
when all sections of the trade union
movement are working hand in hand.
Only then will it be possible to over
throw the bourgeoisie and to estab-
fish Communism. When l arrived at
this conviction commenced the fight
for unity. set myself a definite aim
and to this aim l will devote all my
powers. am convinced that unity
must come, or else the labor move
ment is lost.
Two or three years ago there was
in the Amsterdam International a
united front against the Russian trade
unions. Today the situation is other

THE NEW SURGICAL FAD

Styles change constantly, for
which humanity we'll may be
thankful. For sometimes one ex-
IRENE is far more satisfactory than
another. Costumes, manners,
methods and habits all yield to that
law of mutability Even ailments
of the human system are not ex-
| empt. For example brand new
style in surgical operations is
about to be offered to the suffering
world. Henceforth, perhaps, II the
prediction is borne out, great
many persons are going to lose
their spleens.
Appendicitis, fashionable for
years, is going out OF style. The
appendix Is now de trop in polite
circles, the spleen having crowded
it out of the central position. An
operation for removal OF the spleen
would be much more distinctive
than one for elimination of the ap-
pendix. The appendicitis operation
has become entirely too common,
especially for the ultra fashion
able.
Dr. Mayo or ROcneSter, Mimi, Is
the modiste Of the new vogue. He
insists that chemically enlarged
spleens simply will not do any
longer, that they have got to come
out. He thinks spleens soon will
supplant appendices on the operat-
ing table, and he is right about that
if fashion DEGREES it. 1t will re-
quire, however, little study on
the part of the patient before he
can qualify as a spleen subject.
He will have to know where his
spleen is and how it acts when it is
guilty Of misbeheavior. Otherwise
both he and the surgeon would
have to guess at it, and that would
never do because one wishes to be
certain about the latest models,
even in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES City
Journal.

ton Of vice-president to the 1.-TWO

If we are to assume that the demo-
Gratis and the third party will even
tually unite to elect a president, is
there not another method they may
adopt.
In law and under the original
theory, the electors are free to
choose. Said the Supreme Court in
Mcpherson VS.. Blacker, LAG u. S. /:
Doubtless it was supposed that the
electors would exercise a reasonable
independence and fair judgment in
the selection Of the Chief Executive,
but experience soon demonstrated
that whether chosen by the lcIis-.
lature or by popular suffrage on)
general ticket or in districts, they
were so chosen simply to register
the will of the appointing power
in 1espect of particular candidate"

ence OF the electors the original ex-
pectation may be said to have been
frustrated. Miller Const. Law, l49;

tives and having him elected by the
senate; would it not be more reason
