Why Butler Goes

Last Christmas our strikebreaker president Coo
lidge gave a leave of absence of one year to
Brigadier General Smedley d. Butler Of the
Marine Corps to "clean up Philadelphia. The
Quaker City was overrun with bootleggers, gam
blers, vice agents. Our Puritanic president was
anxious to set Americas third biggest city right.
So the excuses ran.
When Brigadier Butler landed in Philadelphia
he had his own ideas of the sort of cleanup the
town needed. He struck his keynote in his maiden
address before the Police Bureau Chiefs when he
declared: II hear there is a union in the police
That must be wiped out, too. The federation of
fremen, which l understand exists in the fire
bureau, must also CO."
The strikebreaker Brigadier General Director of
Public Safety has finished this job Mr.. Butler
has certainly cleaned up the policemen's union or
whatever existed in the department approaching
union of the men. For this work Mr.. Butler has
received the highest praise the country over.
Now Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia is plan
ming to ask Butler to resign. The Director of
Public Safety appears to have made the mistake of
stepping on the toes of several big liquor inter
ests After all his thunderous talk about purify
ing the city the Brigadier compelled to make
some gestures in this direction. But Philadelphia
like the other big cities of the state of Pennsyl-
vania, has for sometime had its political machines
in a close alliance with the huge whiskey and
brewing interests. For instance of the wettest
cities in the country today is the state capitol,
Harrisburg, where the bone-dry Pinchot lives and
talks prohibition.
Butler has finished his real cleanup job in Phila
delphia. Butler has used the strong arm tactics,
so characteristic of the Marine Corps very effect

to unite in a craft union. We agree with him that
the days of craft unions are about over, just as
the days of the superstitions called religion are
almost past But just fight against religious
bunk without allowing 1t divide what little organ
ization the workers have, so we must Aght against
the Anticipated craft unionism without breaking
up those little organizations that do exist, but
rather making them the stepping stones to some
thing better.
Communists to the workers bringing not
peace but sword; the message of the class strug-
gle, the conception of unity of labor as fighting
unity against the capitalist class, not unity in
sloth, cowardice and inaction brings into sharp
conflict with all the reactionary forces. But this
conflict makes for health, strength and progress
of the working class, and toward the fighting unity
that carries us toward the day of working class
rule in society.
So we fight against superstition, and we fight
against an outworn idea of unionism; and neither
of these struggles is against the unity of the work
ing class, but for that unity. In both are
opposed to artificial divisions of the workers All
workers must organize together, and in their I'M
ions fight out these problems upon which they have
differences of opinion. In that struggle of ideas
it is our task to fight for the conceptions of Com
munism, which will finally be accepted by the en-
tire working Glass; because they represent the great
lass interests of the proletariat.

"Justice" in CooIidge's State

Massachusetts, is Calvin Coolidge's State. And
it is the State of the Vanzetti case. Massa-
chusetts is the State where Coolidge is credited
with having suppressed police strike In Massa-
chusetts it put him in line for the Presidency.
That makes it easier to understand why Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo vanzetti are still in the
shadow of the electric chair, despite cumulative
proofs of their innocence
Massachusetts is a stronghold of the banking
interests. 1t is permeated by passionate hatred
of foreigners" and of new ideas. That is why
Sacco and Vanzett are still imprisoned, though
witness after witness has confessed perjury.
Massachusetts is the scene of the Lawrence
strikes with their orgies of police brutality. 1t is
the scene of the Ettor Giovannitti case. 1t is a
state of cheap, exploited, unorganized labor in the
textile and shoe industries. 1t is where the Press
mems strike was crushed three years ago and the
telephone strike last year
Perhaps that explains why Judge Webster
Thayer-a flower of New England aristocracy-
has not yet granted new trial to Sacco and Van
zetti when the whole world knows that the orig
inal trial was grim farce. Against this back
ground of hopeless conservatism, of political de
graduation and fetid reaction the Sacco-Vanzetti
case is comprehensive It is but an exaggerated
sample of the general situation in America under
the capitalist dictatorship.
But the Sacco-Vanzetti case is wider than Massa
chusetts yes, wider even than these United States
The working class Of the whole world watches and
counts this case another proof that capitalism
must be abolished thru the dictatorship Of the

Others this apparently nsoube problem has also been largely

thing the growing strength of the Soves has just about

of the old order and they have been driven accept
halfheartedy enthusiastically the conditions, and
to try make the best Of them Another thing is that the
revolutionary workers placed at the head OF the industries are
learning the technique of management and the schools
