GOVERNMENT pickings for red
" investigators" evidently are not.
what they used to be, Someone in
Washington woke up to the fact
that the RED Plot" stories were
forms Of romancing for the purpose
Of milking the treasury.
But, II with the going of the chief
RED Plot" fabricator, Burns, the
soft Jobs Of the "Red Plot" investi-
gators have grown fewer and the
pickings soantier, there still re-
mains fertile field of exploitation
for the RED Plot" romancers.
The newspapers are still gullib,s)
OR II they do not themselves
swallow this stuff-they think that
the average American reader will
swallow RED Plot" stories, bait,
hook and sinker.
So we have Jacob Spolansky,
whose government Job of Red
Plot" romancing has petered out,
now appearing as the romancer for
the capitalist press.
Spolansky told the jury in the st.
Joseph trial under cross-examina-
ton of Frank P. Walsh that he had
once been member of the social
ist party. But he found red ro-
mancing" for the government a
more profitable occupation than
such jobs as working in lumber
camp or being cook in a restau-
rant.
Spolansky also testified at st.
Joseph that he was born in Russia
and came to the United States in
1909. One might infer further that
the character of his testimony and
his present writings that he consid-
ers himself the chief defender of
glorious American institutions.
From his articles there can be no
other inference than he, Spolansky,
the Russian, has saved the United
States from the RED Plotters" in
Moscow.

Investigation Shows
Discrimination

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-In-
VestigatIon by James Weldon
Johnson, secretary of the Ma
tlonal Association for the Ad-
Vanoement Of Colored People, of
charges made by coIored war
veterans in the government
hospitals at Oteen, N. c., has
resulted In summary dismissal
OF DR.. A. McAIIister (white), as
ISOLATE medical officer of the
hospital, the National Associa-
ton announces.
Mr.. Johnson's investigation
for the association disclosed
that X. K. K. agitation had re-
suited in a threat against one
colored veteran and a petition
for the removal of 20 to Tus-
kegee hospital; that 26 colored
patients were segregated in a badly
overcrowded ward; that DR.. McAllis-
Iter's attitude toward colored patients
was intolerable and that he let 1t be
known he wanted to be rid Of colored
patients; that DR.. McAllister had
forced patients to pay for signing in
surance blanks contrary to govern
ment regulations and had accepted
pay from colored patients in the gov
Iernment hospital, threatening them
to keep them silent; that DIR. McAllis-
ter charged patient for signing sick
blanks and threatened the patient for
reporting the matter.
The N. A. A. c.. P. report and afi-
davits were sent to General Frank T.
Hines, director Of the Veterans Blu

Workers In New York

If there is any substantial proof
needed of a forward movement, of a
growing political consciousness of the
workers in this section of the country,
the Czecho-Slovak branch of the
Workers Party of America is just de-
livering such proof
When the call @es issued by the
executive committee of the party to
mobilize for an all-embracing election
campaign, the Czecho-Slovak mem.
bers decided not only to cover the
whole 14th assembly district with a
full-sized propaganda for our national
candidates for president and Vice-pres
ident, William 2. Foster and Ben Git

stronghold of the republican political
machine with our local standards
The local standard bearer is an old
tried members of the Czecho-Slovak
branch Of the W. p, Comrade Eman-
uel Kreisinger, for whose candidacy

bership collected over 14OO signatures
approximately the same amount as
they collected for the national candi.
dates Foster and Gitlow, altho only
around 900 signatures we're needed
for the local ticket.
The comrades are simply elated
over their discovery-that an appar.
emily conservative, immobile working
class is not immobile when handled
in the right way, but responds to the
call to arms" most willingly. And
what is more. this campaign work
was the first practical Communist
field work of the Czecho-Slovak
branch, the success of which will be
followed by an intensive educational
campaign in conjunction with the
United Czecho-Slovak Trades Council.

Spolansky's Spook Stories Begin

olution, but not In the sense which
romancers like Spolansky would try
to make us believe, The Commun-
list movement In the United States
received new impetus, clarifl-
cation Of its ideas, and went for
ward with enthusiasm after the Rus
sian revolution OF November Z,
1917, because the principles OF Com
munism were clarified in that, their
first great victory,
Men and women in the United
States who had been in the social
list movement saw the principles
laid down by Karl Marx In action
in the Russian revolution and this
experience pointed the road for
them which they must travel. Not
"plotters" in Moscow, not agents of
Moscow" not Moscow gold" made
the Communist movement in the
United States. A great historic
event, a victorious social revolution,
the working out Of Communist prin-
ciples in practice-th these brought
the new knowledge, the new under
standing, the courage and inspira-
ton out Of which came the Com
munist Party of America.
The Spolansky and the higher-up
Spolanskys cannot grasp this. They
do not want to grasp this because it
would leave them helpless. Plots
and conspiracy can be death with
thru government spies and other in
struments Of oppression. A move
ment rising out of developing social
forces, a movement which springs
out Of the conditions which the cap
italist system itself creates, before
such a movement, the Spolanskys
Of capitalism stand aghast.
1t is such a movement which is
manifesting itself in the Communist
movement in this country in the
Communist organization. Not con
spiracy," not a plot" but a great
dynamic force growing out Of the
life and experiences of the workers
which will grow in strength and
power until the day of the American
proletarian revolution.

searchlight Of fact upon Spolansky's
romances as they appear,
We begin with him in November,
1918, and at the beginning we find
an example of the character of his
romancing. He writes about
meeting held on Armistice Day,
1918, at which the Communist plot
Is supposed to have begun, but the
date of Armistice Day is set as the
7th of November, 1918, OF counsel
How could It be otherwise than that
such a plot should be initiated on
any other day than the anniversary
of the Soviet revolution. even If his
tory has to be wrenched about bit
and Armistice Day happens to be
November II, 1918. it is being cele-
brated on November 7, 1918, accord
ing to the Red Romancer"l
In a romance, a plot must begin
with a gathering Of the conspira-
tors. A romance, too, must have a
villain. So we have the gathering
of the conspirators on November 7,
Armistice Day OF 1918, with William
Bross Lloyd cast in the role of the
villain.
William Bross Lloyd, we are told,
was chiefly responsible for the
founding Of the Communist movement
in the United States. Just think
how dangerous his desperate Red
Plot" is. since the founder and or
iginator of the plot has long ego
given UP his task in carrying out all
thcnefarious plans with which Spoil
ansky charges the Red Plotters,"
and has retired to his estate at Win
netka to live the life of a country
gentleman.
Or take the case of another of the
RED Plotters," who Mr.. Spolansky
saw when he crept to the door of a
room in the socialist party national
headquarters back there in 1918,
to spy on the desperate men who
were to overthrow the American
government as per orders from Mos
COW, Dennis E. Bait Dennis E.
Bait appears as one of Spolansky's
chief conspirators and his most re-
cent role has been, we understand,
to carry on a campaign in support
of no less person than President
Calvin Coolidge. Maybe that's evil
dence of the correctness of Spolan-
sky's spook stories showing how
far reaching are the arms of the
RED Plotters" when one of the or
igfnators of the pilot" goes so far in
carrying out his Machiavellian de-
signs as to support the standard
bearer Of all that stands for the
great American system of looting,
which Spolansky is defending from
the RED Plotters."

T IKE other newspapers
a working class news
paper must receive sup
port if it is to exist. But it
will not receive it in the adj
vertising of employers Of
labor whose wealth is gained
from the toll of others. The
employers interests are not
defended in a working class
newspaper. Nor can a work
ing class newspaper receive
its support from the profits
gained by appealing to every
human weakness with lurid
stories Of sex, murder and
depravity-a working class
newspaper must be an edu-
cational medium. 1t must
fearlessly tell the truth, ex-
pose corruption, fight Labor's
enemies-lead the workers
to a clear understanding that
his is the hand and brain that
is the worlds motive and
creative pow r-and his
should be the worlds owner
ship. Since only the work.
ers interests are defended in
a working class newspaper
the capitalist will not sup
port it. The worker must
if he wants a paper defend
ing his interests and fighting
his battles.
Thousands of members Of
the labor movement will be
unsparingly devoting their
time and energy until No

ORIGIN OF COMMUNISM.

'hiNtiN - OOtU ~ ONi0ifts
Let us turn from romance to real
ity, from Red Plot" to social
science Did the Communist move
ment in the United States have its
origin in a conspiratorial assembly
held upon orders from Moscow, as
described by our romancer Spolan-
sky?
This conception of the origin of
Communism is SO utterly ridicu-
lous that it is hard to conceive that
there are still people gullible enuf
to swallow it. The ideas upon which
the Communist movement has been
built had their origin just 70 years
before the date of the event speci-
fed by romancer Spolansky. They
were first stated by Karl Marx and
Frederick Engels in the Communist
Manifesto of 1S4S.
. In that document appeared these
words: "The history of all hither-
to existing society is the history of
class struggles. Freeman and slave,
patrician and plebeian, lord and
serf, guild-master and journeyman,
in word, oppressor and oppressed,
stood in constant opposition to one
another, carried on an uninterrupt-
ed, now hidden, now open fight,
fight that each time ended, either in
a revolutionary reconstruction Of So
ciety at large, or in the common
ruin Of the contending classes"
II the acceptance of the Commun-
fist principle, that the struggle be-
tween contending classes is strug-
gle which is now going on in the
United States between capitalists
and wage workers and that in each
historical period of the past this
struggle has resulted in a revolu-
tionary reconstruction of society and
that this revolutionary reconstitu-
ton must come in the United States,
constitutes Red Plot" then there
has been RED Plot" in the United
States for the past so years. for
during all that time there have been
groups OF organized men and wom-
en- who accepted this Communist
principle.
Sometimes the clarity OF the
statement of this principle was OBJ
secured. It became almost entirely
obscured in the socialist party, but
even that organization thruout the
entire period of its existence there
was a struggle between the two
groups. one Of which aimed to COM
pletely eliminate from the policies
OF that party acceptance OF the prin-
ciples Of the revolutionary dass
struggle against the capitalist class,
and the group which said socialism
could never come except as a re-
suit Of revolutionary struggle
which would place the government
al powers in the hands OF the work
ing class.
The Russian revolution which es-
tablished the dictatorship Of the
proletariat in that country was an
example OF this principle expressing
itself in actual life. The Commun-
list movement in the United States
was a response to the Russian rev.

NINE HOUR DAY NOT IN
FORCE IN GERMAN MINES

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 81
To correct exaggerated rumors re-
guarding the effect of the adoption Of
the Dawes plan on the hours of work.
ers in Germany, the following state
ment has been published in German
newspapers:
AT the end of March, 1924, GAG, 767
miners were employed in the German
hard coal industry; this number in
cludes both underground and surface
workers, but not those engaged in the
process of making coal by-pro-
ducts. Except for upper Silesia, work
ing hours for underground workers,
including both the time taken in
winding, and the short intervals al
lowed for meals, and also including
one hours overtime, were eight hours.
In Upper Silesia, where 46,428 work
.ers are employed, including under
ground and surface workers, the work.
ing hours are 1-2 hours, the other
conditions being precisely the same
as those given above.
"There is no question, therefore, of
nine-hours day for German hard
coal underground miners"

missioner of the sttae department of
labor. under this general head it is
proposed to consider: The peaceful
solution Of industrial disputes, what
should be labor's participation in the
conduct Of industry, the effect Of the
shorter work day in industry, cooper

LAW ADS LANDLORDS
WHY NOT AID TENANTS?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-If g
government has the power to eject 3
tenant for non-payment Of rent il
should withhold the unfair and IN
reasonable exercise of such power
when demanded by prodteering land
lords.
This reasoning is presented by 3
committee representing organized ten
ants in this city who are resisting
these landlords.
Congress may prevent United
States officials from being the active
instruments Of injustice and extor-
ton. States may similarly so act.
There has been too many instances
where law has been an instrument for
executing the win Of the callous, the
hard and the unjust upon the victims
of circumstance" the tenants say.
It is declared that it is within the
right Of the Legislature to prohibit the
court to exercise jurisdiction in evic-
ton cases "where such eviction is
manifestly unfair and unjust under
the reasonable standard Of an en-
lightened modern public opinion"
In the fight against these gouging
landlords it is shown that values of
apartments have been boosted to
double and treble their market value,
and rentals are now demanded on
these fictitious figures.

RESEARCH TO
INVESTIGATE GRONTHOF
AMERICAN TRADE UNION
tcOntinusd from PC onel

]
AS at present constituted, and al
most throughout its whole history,
the American labor movement has
been composed of many diverse ele-
ments. There were for example in
1928, 10s national and international
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. Not ali Of these
organizations have been continuously
affiliated with the federation.
The bricklayers' union became afIili-
ated with the American Federation Of
Labor only = few years ago; the
Western Federation of Miners re-
manned independent for long period
and finally for a few years became
an affiliated organization. AS exist
ing organizations are added or Drop
ped from the roster Of the federation,
the membership Of that organization
would show changes not representa-
tive of the variations in the total
membership Of the trade unions.
The new tables viii indicate for
each union and for each year its state
Of affiliation with or Independence of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Union Strength and Weakness.
Since statistics of the growth and
decline of trade union membership
may in themselves be misleading I'M
less compared with the changes in
similar periods of the total numbers
of wage-earners, the investigation of
the National Bureau of Economic Re-
search was extended into this field.
The working population in q coun-
try may pursue a course quite dis
tinct from that of the total popula-
ton. 1t may either increase or de-
cline more rapidly than the total pop
ulation; or large sections of it, more
or less accessible to labor organiza-
ton, may come to occupy a leading
or subordinate position in the work of
the country. Phenomena such as
these, which would be otherwise con-
cealed, or brought to light by draw
ing the comparison between the num-
bers of workers and the numbers of
trade union members.
Importance of Fact-Finding Report
The results of this investigation
should be of interest not only to lead
ers of organized labor and managers
of large enterprises, but also to writ
ers, authors, lecturers, sociologists,
public officials and all others who de-
sire important information regarding
the membership of trade unions.
Like all the other formal publica-
tions of the National Bureau of Eco
nOmic Research, this is to be a fact.
finding report solely. The National
Bureau of Economic Research is rig
idly barred by its constitution and by
laws from becoming an agency for
profit or propaganda, and no report
may be published without the ap-
prevail of its board of directors, who
represent all the principal viewpoints
from which economic, social and in
dustrial problems are regarded.
