In speaking Of the Forthcoming
volume, Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of La
bor, said;
Probably no more important
matters have arisen in the history
of the American Federation of La
bar than in the last five years.
After the armistice many things
happened that made most impor-
tant labor history. The plot to de-
fate labor and the farmers caused
disputes that required from two to
three years to adjust.
"Just what labor did to protect
itself and successfully pass through
during this strenuous period is all
told in the book, which is the only
work of the kind ever printed by
any labor movement in the world.
1t gives the uniformed an oppor-
tunity Of in a few moments learn
ing what has been done by Ameri-
can labor on every question affect
ing it.
Nothing has been suppressed.
The beck tells the story as il &C.
CURED, and there can be no criti-
cism of its CORRECTNESS as the lam
guage used in resolutions adopted,
questions discussed and decisions
made are taken from the written
or spoken word as officially re-
ported"

Austria CoL[apSeS

The league of nations appointed the Belgian
financier Zimmerman as the dictator Of Austria,
a loan for that bankrupt nation was negotiated
with the international bankers, the press of the
fnancecapitalists announced that Austria was
"saved" and among the liberal fraternity there
was general agreement that the league of nations
was, after some annoying delays, beginning to get
down to the business of bringing peace on earth
and goodwill TO men.
Austria today is in a state of utter collapse
after the usual capitalist remedies of war on the
unions and other working class organizations have
been applied. What seemed to be a temporary re
covery Of finance and industry has become disaster
and the government, a tool Of the banking frater-
nifty has squandered the treasury funds by at
tempting to protect the bankers and spectators
when Austrian stocks and bonds hit the toboggan
following wild speculation in French francs.
Conditions in Austria are rapidly approaching
those that prevailed before the international loan
was negotiated.
The deprecated currency has the effect of throw
ing thousands out of work and this in turn curtails
the Austrian markets
Production and trade cease because no one
knows what the price of any commodity will be
twentyfour hours in advance.
Capitalism cannot be revived permanently by
artificial injections of money.
The disease from which capitalism is suffering
may be checked temporarily in this or that nation
but it becomes more acute turnout the capitalist
world as a whole and the Austrian debacle is a
splendid example of this.
1t was necessary for the municipalities to
come to the rescue of France. A huge loan was
made the franc stabilized but Austria was ruined
the capitalists themselves could not resist the
tep2tation to speculate in the franc. The finance
capitalists chose to save France from immediate
bankruptcy-to take care of the greatest danger.
They are preparing now to "save" Germany as
they saved Austria and the results will be bet
ter for them for German production can be re
stored only at the expense Of production in other
capitalist nations.
Capitalism exists today in a state of chronic
crisis No sooner is wound salved over in one
spot than another lesion appears.

The White House Outburst

The protest Of Coolidge against tho appointment
OF Francis j. Heney to conduct the investigation
of Melons Bureau Of Internal Revenue is part Of
the general, national capitalist conspiracy to
stife the damaging investigations that have broken
the clay feet and heads Of many employing class
political idols.
Our exploiters have had an overdose Of these
investigations. The order has gone out from the
90. H. O." Of the powers that be who dominate all
must discontinue Immediately. Each group in
its own way, it is true, is falling in line The re-
publicans, democrats and insurgents are all pre-
pairing to toe the chalk line and run away from
the Investigations
But immediate exgencies of a twofold charac-
ter compelled Coolidge to demand so openly and
arrogantly that the lid be put on the government
tai disclosures and that the Senate keep its hands
off Mellon. The driving facts here are that an in
vestigation Of Melons Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. would, as Coolidge well knows, reveal so in
herent a sordidness in the capitalist ownership
of government to blast to smithereens the little
confidence that Washington may still inspire in
the breasts Of the uniformed. For instance, the
capitol has for some time been saturated with
rnmors about million dollar whisky steal in
which Mellon and the republican National Com
mittee were the principal benefciaries
AHO ndIuIe VI tue investigator, MT. deney, as
well the Importance of the person to be investigat-
ed, has inspired "Silent Cal" to fit of eloquence
Heneys past record appears to be one of fearless
ness in conducting such Investigations. The flood
of words, in behalf of Coolidge, emanating from
the dry-asdust Beef Trust Senator Watson Of In
diana reminds one of the telling blows struck by
the Heney revelations in the investigation of the
packing interests few years ago.
More than that, the fact that the reactionary
labor-hating Los Angeles Times denounces Heney
is sufficient reason for the capitalist watchdog in
the White House to get on his hind legs and bark
and bite. Commenting adversely on the appoint
ment of Heney the editor of this open-shop organ
significantly remarked in this fashion apropos
of the counsellors record in the old graft investi
cation of San Francisco: mo business was safe
from Indictment -. One dose of Heney was
enough His record shows him to be a violent,
unfair, immoderate unbalanced, Unsuitable seeker
after power at any cost"
The New England banking interests and the
Pacific Coast financial clique are closely allied
today. Coolidge's outburst is dictated solely by
his fear that too much might be told in an inyesi
cation Of Melons financial maneuvers in the
cabinet at this time, by Mr.. Heney who has more
than one score to settle with the big capitalist
coterie that has been hot his trail for some time

The Case Of Jacob DO|Ia
BY WALLACE 7. METcALFE.

Behind the walls in a Pennsylvania
prison. Jacob Dolla, militant member
Of the working class, waits daily for
word that will return him to his wife
and family, giving him the freedom
that he was so unjustly deprived Of.
No word of complaint has come from
the lips Of this man. Even tho
his cup of sorrow has been overflow
ing at times and the prison walls
have engulfed him deeper and deeper
into the clutches Of their shadows,
the world has yet to hear one word
of complaint from Jake Dolla. His
voice, coming forth from prison, has
always urged the workers forward to
their tasks, to remain steadfast and
loyal to their ideals.
Compared with the splendid loyalty
of this man, who as a member of the
Lebanon lodge of the A. A. Of l. s.
and T. w. of N A., was jailed after
one Of the most contemplate frame
ups ever recorded in the history Of
the American labor movement, we
have the cringing knaye-like conduct
Of M. F. Tighe, president OF Dolla's
union, the union he fought for, in
who's cause he was cast into prison.
In submitting his report to the forty
ninth annual convention Of the A. A.,
: recently held in Pittsburgh, Pa,
Tighe had the brazen effrontery to
assert that everything possible has
honTr dnrn
ing more could be done. Tighe
charged the "agitators," or those &C.
tive in Dolla's behalf, with being "fal-
siflers" when they stated that he was
doing nothing for Dolla. Gradually
does the national president of the
A. A. record how he made a special
trip to Lebanon to silence the "agi-
tators." In fact, three-fourths of
Tighe's report to the convention on
the case of Jacob Dolla was taken up
condemning the militants active in be-
half of their brother worker.
The following letter was received
by Tighe from the Department of
Justice, Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 2.
1923:
IN. F. Tighe, $40 Fourth Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Mr.. Tighe-The Pardon
Board is still holding under advise
ment the case of Jacob Dolla, men,
toned in your letter of Oct 49,
81 believe the case will be disposed
Of at our November meeting. In
the meantime we are looking with
great care into the evidence and ar
gument presented

Y. w. L. MateriGI-PoOr But
Plentiful.

The Englewood branch of the Young Workers
League has had some interesting experiences in
carrying out the Communist policy of going to
the masses and undoubtedly the members have
now better idea of the magnitude of the task the
Young Workers League has to carry out-winning
the masses of young toilers in America to Com
munism.
In American industry where boys and girls in
their teens are not so brutally treated that they
feel after working hours the need for nothing but
food and Sleep the vicious welfare" systems sod
den and benumb their brains until they regis
ter like photograph records the stereotyped and
conventional slogans of American capitalism.
In no country in the world is the rising genera
ton of workers so uninterested in the welfare of
their class; any culture other than the Bill Hart
school is banned; their music is jazz, their ltera-
ture is the comic section of the Sunday capitalist
Sheets their ideal of the drama that in which the
virtuous hero is rewarded by the hand of the
daughter Of the factory owner.
Yet these thoughtless youths are caught in the
gigantic machine of American capitalism; all their
lives they will be workers, and the fathers and
mothers of workers, for the days Of pioneer enter
prise are past. They will have to choose some day
between the working class of which they are part
and the boss class to whom they are now loyal with
an unthinking loyalty.
Unemployment, low wages, the speed-up system
and the increasing discipline of the factory and
workshop will awaken Americas youth just as
these conditions have produced a young rebel
movement in other nations; this is the economic
background of the student pacifst movement.
The Young Workers League has the task Of
guiding the young workers whose shoulders the
capitalist yoke gals; it is truly the vanguard of
the young workers and it has the field all to itself
Its work, the work it is doing, is to turn the ex-
uberant energy of young workers like those in En-
glewood to the service Of the working class move
ment.
1t is work that requires patience, knowledge and
courage.

what the circumstances surrounding
the trial may Indicate, there was
sworn evidence by some of his fell
low union members that he worked
with and guided them in the max
ing of bombs and the planning Of the
bombing of residence.
ION top of that Jacob Dolla en-
tered plea of guilty. If men in the
position of Dolla desire to have their
later claim Of innocence considered
with full credence, they certainly
ought not to plead guilty as he did.
You can see plainly that a plea Of
guilty places the Pardon Board in an
embarrassing position, even tho
the applicant for pardon states def
nitely that he did not tell the truth
in entering such plea.
Yours very sincerely,
GEORGE w. WOODRUFF,
Attorney General"
Nineteen witnesses have sworn to
afidavits repudiating their former
testimony. A gassed and wounded
ex-serviceman was beaten and COM
PEELED to testify against Dolla,
Scores of others and facts beyond
the question of a doubt have been
presented proving the innocence of
Dolla, yet M. F. Tighe reported moth
ing done since Nov 2, 1928. Five
months ago, and five dreary ones for
Jacob Dolla.
The case of Jacob Dolla was first
called to the attention of the world
by William 2. Foster and others who
have battled consistently for his re-
lease, and it was thru the efforts of
the T. y. E. L. that the Dolla case
was brought to the attention of the
forty-eighth annual convention Of the
A. A., held in Warren, 1923. Every
step of the way M. F. Tighe has had
to be driven and he has never failed
to yelp back at the militants In the
A. A. who compelled him to officially
do something for the release of
Dolla.
II Jacob Dolla is to be released it
will be only thru the efforts of the
working class, and not the official
dom such as Tighe represents, every
labor organization in the United
States and the North American con-
tinent, every fraternal organization
must SPEAK for the release of Jacob
Dolla. He is needed on the outside
to head the organization in whose
cause he was imprisoned. His fam
lily needs him. The working class
can i'll afford to remain idly by and
stand with folded arms while its al
legged leaders act as pallbearers for
the burial alive of it's militants.

were stimulated into argument. But
not into joining. The meeting disin.
tegrated into small groups, holding
animated discussions.
Pleasant Time Was Had.
And then came the last meeting.
The young workers came again in
full force augmented by many
friends. This time they came pre-
pared to try and obstruct the meet
ing. The inevitable speaker was
again introduced to them and talked
to them in spite of their many inter.
ruptions and the missiles that found
their way thru windows and DOORS
They are still unconvinced but we
feel confident that they will return
again. They are terribly miseducat-
ed, incredibly incredulous of the
truth. Can they be organized? The
Englewood Branch proposes to find
out. Our next meeting is Thursday,
April cath. at $3.50 s. Ashland Ave.

We remarked the other day, following the defeat
of the Macdonald government on the Wheatley
housing bill, that the leadership of the British
Labor Party had shown but little disposition to
put up real fight for the measure.
An editorial in recent issue of the London
Daily Herald, official organ of the Labor Party,
confirms our statement.
Speaking of the manner in which the fight for
the housing bill was conducted the Daily Herald
says
.., That the government handled the matter skill
fully we do not claim. But Mr.. Clynes pro-
ceeded his courage appeared, like that Of Bob
Acres, to ooze away out Of the tips Of his fingers
The bold front was dropped. conciIiatory, almost
an apologize tone taken. The whole business
was disposed Of by Labors opponents, who had it
pretty much their own way. It was pity that
Mr.. Macdonald had to attend the National Gallery
dinner and could not be present II would be
wise OF Mr.. Macdonald to husband his energies and .
to keep his hand firmly upon the helm. If IL had
been there on Wednesday evening" we cannot he
lleve that there would have been so lame and i'm
potent conclusion to this effort to the brave
soldiers Of industry and their wives and little ones
from further undeserved hardship and pain.
The Daily Herald adopts careful tone but it
is not hard to see that even the official organ kf
the Labor Party considers it disgrace to the
labor movement that the Wheatley bill-the first
real working class measure to be sponsored by the
Labor Party-was defeated without struggle
1t may be necessary for Premier Macdonald to
attend National Gallery dinner when a measure
of such vital Importance to the working class is
up for consideration but it is indicative of the
attitude of the right wing leadership of the party
that this should be so.
Furthermore we differ with the Daily Herald
as to the value that the presence of Ramsay Mac
Donald would have had and it is our humble Com.
munist opinion that he deliberately ducked a fight
and that the Daily Herald is of the same opinion.

Two months ago, the Englewood
Branch, dissatisfied with the work 1t
was doing instituted a new policy.
Since it is a small branch and has
very, very few industrial workers
among its ranks and could not reach
the masses thru the shop nuclei, de-
cided upon other methods Of reach
ing the masses. This new policy
had two phases; first, to attract
young workers, and second, to edu-
cate and organize them. Seems sim
pie, doesn't IT?
Z And it is-some Of it,
AS above intlmated, the first part
of this policy has more than sue
ceeded. With free dancing as the
attraction, the young workers have
fairly fiocked in. At the first meet
ing they came in goodly numbers.
They came for a good time and for
while they had it. That was the
first part OF the new policy. Then
came the second part. The dancing
was stopped. the dancers were seat
ed and high-powered propaganda
took the floor
A New Specimen.
He was a well-known comrade and
he talked well. The young workers
listened, some OF them curiously,
more Of them resentrully and more
OF them indifferently. It was the
first time they heard about the class
struggle or the Communists. Il was
the first time they had heard them
selves addressed as comrades and
young workers. II was the first time
they had heard about modern So
ciety and the truth was so strange
and new as to seem unbelievable.
A plea for members proved fruitless
as expected. One talk does not
make a young worker class con-
scious. The members were not dis
couraged. A few copies of the
Young Worker were sold.
Came the next meeting and to II
fiocked all the young workers who
had attended previously and also
newcomers. Again there was dane.
ing. And again IL was stopped and
an hour was devoted to propogan-
da talk. This time the results were
In evidence. The young workers

Harry Kendall Thaw's "rabbit kiss" may have
been hard on the rabbit, but the "oil kiss" that
Doheny, Sinclair and the rest bestowed upon the
republican and democratic parties has certainly
proved itself more deadly.
