IMPEACH COOLIDGE!
The japanese Crisis

The censorship of news that has been in
force in Japan since the earthquake cannot
conceal the tremendous growth of mass dis
content.
That there is in process of formation popu-
lar revolt against feudalism in government
and industry is shown by the fact that the
dle-classeS-students intructors, lawyers
and journalists-are apparently in sympathy
with the demands of the mass of the workers
and peasants.
The Japanese ruling class is discovering,
much to its surprise, that the state religion no
longer fills the bill as a somnolent for the popu-
lace. The attack on the person of the prince
which took place shortly before his wedding
is indicative of the fall Of the royal family in
popular estimation. Such an occurrence has
the deepest significance to those who under
stand the hitherto sheeplike reverence of the
Japanese for their rulers.
The Japanese cabinet is in chronic state of
crisis and its policy of non-recognition of
Soviet Russia-largely the result of Ameri-
can Influences bitterly opposed.
The Soviet government has made favor
able impression upon the Japanese people and
the proximity of Russia facilitates the constant
flow of information concerning the advances
made by the Russian workers and peasants
under their own government; with the increas-
ing numerical strength of the Japanese labor
movement there is growing desire to learn
from Russia.
Economically Japan is in bad way Her
penetration policy in China has not been sig
nally successful and the stupidity and reaction
of her rulers deprives her of natural market
for manufactured goods in Russia
The recent loan floated here by the house
of Morgan mortgages Japan to the Amer
lean inanciers and the favorable position in
which Japan found herself after the war no
longer exists.
Japan today is. torn by the conflict of forces
which rends small nations without great nat
ural resources very soon after they launch
cut into the stormy seas of Imperialism
She played at imperialism just long enough
to industrialize large sections of her working
class and these now lead in the struggle that
will end with Japan becoming one of the peo-
pies republics whose embryos can be seen
forming in the womb Of the orient

Friend of Vanderbilt.

The aged commissioner felt called
upon to put down this instruction.
He got up again and stated that all
the wealth of the railroads had come
from economy in administration-he
knew, because he was a personal
friend of Commodore Vanderbilt.
He urged the delegates to pay nc
attention to this; the teachers were
worn out from the school routine, and
were not in condition to think sober
ly. Moreover, the delegates must
bear in mind that Chicago was no
criterion of the rest of the country;
Chicago was morbid and cyclonic. y
Sixteen years passed, and revolu-
ton came in Russia, and our school
superintendent realized the danger
of permitting the lower classes to get
out of hand. They resolved to put
down the classroom teachers in the
N. E. A., and to keep them down.
The procedure by which they did it
constitutes one of the most amazing
public crimes in the history of the
United States.
Bear in mind: this National Ed
ucation Association was a public in
stitution, with a charter from Con-
gress, according to which it was con-
trolled by its members.
Any misunderstanding teachers
might pay four dollars and become
an active member, and these active
members met in convention once a
year, and there voted and elected Of
fcers.
This was democracy, as our ancest-
ors understood it; and this was the
thing which was suddenly discovered
by school superintendent and their
capitalist masters to be menace Ia
the American schools.
At N. 4. A. conventions there
would appear two kinds of active
members. There would be those who
had come from all parts Of the coun.
try, and ninety per cent Of these were
from the employing class Of the
schools. These had the money "a
come, and made II their business tc
come; most Of them had their ex.
penses paid, either by the public, OF
by the organization TO which they
belonged. The other group was made
up Of members who lived in or near
the city where the convention was

was ever elected to any office.
At the present time some we'll
trained teacher is occasionally
admitted to office for the sake
of appearances.
1t required many years of struggle
to get the National Education As
ISOLATION to give any consideration
whatever to the living and working
conditions of the classroom teacher,
or to recognize salaries, pensions and
tenure as legitimate subjects for dis
cussion.

eration-another panacea for the troubled
rival masses! Pulling the chestnuts out of the
fire for Coolidge the prince of the Boston
bankers and the hope of Wall Street, We are
not surprised at Capper. But what of Mag
nus Johnson? And what of Frazier? Is this
what they were sent for to Washington? Is
this their duty?
And yet some would say that the time is
not ripe for the formation of powerful ma
tional farmer-labor party organized along
class lines to make impossible just such dan
ger menacing the working and farming masses
of the country!

MiIitants on the Job

The International Ladies' Garment Work
ors, on strike against the open shop in the
Chicago industry, are meeting with the COM
bined opposition of the bosses and the civil
authorities expressed in the arrest and in
timidation of strikers and pickets.
The employers have their gangs of gunner
end sluggers who operate without any inter
ference from the police, but defensive meas
uEes taken by the workers Immediately place
them outside the law More than a dozen
arrests of strikers-men and women-have
already been made.
Most of the shops involved in the strike are
those of cockroach capitalists business
men who depend upon their ability to sweat
their employees to meet competition When this
kind of cattle can rally the police force of a
city the size of Chicago to their assistance the
united front of law and exploitation is plainly
perceptible
The Ladies' Garment Workers are putting
up a splendid fight and not the least interest
ing aspect of the situation is the fact that the
expelled members of the left wing are leading
the struggle.
In every strike district they are the most
active and the most trusted. They are furnish
ing the organizing ability and the militancy of
the strike and in their devotion to the cause of
the union which they did so much to establish
they have forgotten for the time being the fact
of their expulsion by oficaldom and the cam
paign of persecution that has been carried on
against them.
If there has been any doubt that the expul-
sion of members of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League has nothing to do with their de-
STABILITY as fighting unionists the present
strike has dispeled it. 1t was upon this group
that the officials were forced to call when the
strike occurred they were confronted with the
alternatives of seeing the strike die stillborn
%. of calling for assistance from the militants
they have been hounding and slandering for
months.
The union has gained in strength from the
strike altho it is only four days old; many
open shops will be eliminated and organization
thereby extended; much of the ground lost
because of the resentment stirred up by the
official attack on the militants will be regained
and for these advances the expelled left wing
ers and their sympathizers must be given the
credit
What are the officials going to do about it
when the strike is ended?
More important still, what is the bulk of the
membership going to do when the strike is
ended and they have complete proof that
union which drives out the militants because
the officials fear for their jobs is helpless I'M
less, as may not always happen the miltants
stay on the job and fight as they always have?
The job now is winning the strike. After
that the struggle for the adoption of fighting
policy in the International Ladies' Garment
Workers will be resumed with additional
vigor so that more and bigger victories can
be won.

UEnIVIHN ULUInIVU
WORKERS SAVED
BY AMALCAMATED
American Aid Came IN
Nick of Time
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER.
n Correspondent of The Federated PreAs)


BERLIN, Feb. 2s,-InternationaI
solidarity has kept the German
Clothing Workers union from going
under. The contribution of 81, 600 by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America, more than any other gift
received from abroad, has made it
possible for the German workers in
the needle trades to continue their
organization.
Some months ago the German
tailors had turned to the clothing
workers organizations Of the world
with an appeal for a loan to help
them out during this grave economic
crisis of the German nation. The
Amalgamated responded, not by
loan, but by an outright gift
Of $4,000. AS General Secretary
Schlossberg put it in the letter an
nouncing the gift:
'You asked for loan; we decided
to make it a donation, a gift to YOU
from your more fortunate comrades
in America. We are not asking YOU
to pay back the amount to us in the
future as you offered to do. We know
that when you will be on your feet
again you will gladly come to the aid
of other workers who might need it."
Deaply Touched by Gift.
In commenting upon the gift, First
Vice President Ploog said to your
correspondent on behalf Of the Ger
man organization:
eve are deeply touched bv the
splendid gift and by the wonderful
spirit of international solidarity of
which this is an evidence. Our first
expenditure will be that of starting
our official organ, which for many
months has appeared only sporadic
cally and in a small edition, as a
regular bi-weelIy journal to be fur
nlshed to all our members.
I'm how sad plight we were be-
fore aid began to arrive from abroad
you may judge from the fact that for
while only 10 per cent of our num-
bers were working full time, and that
the income of the union per month
was not enough to pay the postage
for one week"
The German clothing industry, ac-
cording to Ploog, is at very low ebb.
Custom tailoring is especially pre-
carious. More than so per cent Of
the custom tailors are out Of work,
because the average German hasn't
any money to buy tailor made goods.
In the ready-made-clothing branch
about one-third of our members are
working full time, one-third part
time, and one-third are out of Jobs.
S-Hour Day In Danger.
AS in the rest of German industry,
in the clothing industry the bosses
are trying to profit by the workers
misery in forcing upon them work.
ing day of more than the legal eight
hours. In the ladies' garment indus
try of Berlin, for instance, the union
had to agree during 50 days Of the
year the boss may keep the WORKERS
at work for more than eight hours
without paying extra for overtime.
In the boys clothing industry the
weekly period was heightened from
46-48 hours.
AS the strike funds of the unions
are already gone, having become
valueless thru the depreciation of the
mark, the unions are in no position
to resist by strike, and can only
hope that at later period they will
be able to win back their rights.

held, and these would be ninety per
cent classroom teachers.
They were the only classroom
teachers who could attend the con-
vention without great expense, and
they represented, and properly felt
that they represented, the great mass
of the teachers who could not at
tend, but who had a vital stake in
education, and had needs to be
voiced.

BOARD OF EDUCATION DESERVES CREDIT

When you come to think about it less than a year
ago Marietta High School was not on the Southern
accredited list. During the past few months the
board of education of Marietta has managed to bring
the school up to the standard required and Marietta
High is again placed in honorable place along
with many other high schools in towns Of this size.
When the board of education faced the situation
about year ago there many things to be done
to bring the school up to the standard and to give
the children of Marietta an equal opportunity with
neighboring towns. 1t was necessary to vote bond
issue for building, to make many improve
ments on the present buildings and to increase the
school faculty
All these matters have been handled in a manner
that deserves commentator A new modern high
school building is now in process of construction
and Marietta has reganed her place on the Southern
accredited list of high schools.

ATLANTA's TRAFFIC REGULATIONS GOOD

Comment by the News-Tribune on the traffic law
enforcement crusade in Atlanta, in which we warned
that the good work should be kept up and not per-
mitted to become merely hysterical outburst Of re-
sentiment because Of the tragic death Of prominent
citizen has been made the basis for editorials Of
similar nature in the Constitution and The journal
Since that comment was made we have had an OPP
portunity to observe traffic conditions in Atlanta
and it is with pleasure that we report that the city
is genuinely on It's good behavior in that respect.
Automobile traffic there is now regulated as nearly
to perfection as it is possible for it to be in city
where the streets are so narrow and crooked Au-
tomobile drivers on every street seemed to be en-
deavoring to observe traffic regulations carefully
Courtesy was an outstanding feature of his obser
vance, indicating that the people of Atlanta have
realized that the best traffic law after ALL is the sim
pie rule of courtesy The disposition the part Of
some motorists to try to run everybody else aps
parently has been banished That's fine thing for
Atlanta If it is kept up it will cause many people
to go there in automobile who heretofore have been
inclined to avoid the city.--Rome News-Tribune.

THE FEE SYSTEM

Once upon time in Atlanta the solicitor general
and opposing lawyer got into fight in the court
room during the hearing of a case The Judge very
promptly fined them $50 apiece. The money was
paid in and the 500 was divided three ways-60
per cent to the solicitor general % per cent to the
clerk of the court and Is per cent to the sheriff In
other words, the solicitor general got back 500 for
his fine of $50 That's the fee systems ism it fine
thing9
Throughout the fee system is just about as foolish
that 1t pays the solicitor general big sum when
man is fined it pays him practically nothing when
the man is sent to a term of imprisonment 1t
pays him practically nothing when murderer is
sent to the gallows. 1t pays him big sum when a
defendant out on bond doesn't show up for trial and
the bond is estreated. 1t is difficult to imagine
more foolish method of paying the solicitor general
He gets practically nothing when the defendant in
criminal case is either acquitted or hanged big
money comes when the defendant jumps his bond or
merely pays fine Is there anybody ON earth who
can seriously defend such system9-Savannah
