For cold weather makes people
eat more. One restaurant man
explained that many office workers
who usually eat light lunches have
in the last few days ordered sub

While all the peace conferences, raparatons
gatherings reconstruction confabs and universal
Justice sessions going on the capitalist world
war makers are working overtime preparing am
munition and Internal machines for the coming
war
The Skoda Works, in Europe, the munition
plants of France, the cannon factories of England
and the airplane manufacturers of Germany and
Italy are now operating at feverish pace, piling
up huge supplies of destruction.
In the United States while unemployment is
gripping every basic industry the munition fac
tories are buster than ever. The findings of the
Department Of Commerce, 1923, Census Of Manu-
facturers just issued, dealing with ammunition
and related products, affords most instructive evil
dence of the energy with which our war makers
are setting the pace in preparing the country for
the next conflict.
The last biennial Census of Manufacturers tells
us that the establishments engaged primarily in
the production of ammunition and related products
reported total output valued at more than fifty
one million dallors This is a rate of increase in
the total as compared with 1921, the last preceding
census year. of nearly fifty three per cent The rate
of increase in the value of ammunition and related
products was sixty-two and half per cent.
The number of working men producing ammuni-
ton in the United States has increased twenty
five per cent within the last two years; the cost of
materials nearly seventy-fve per cent
Since the last Census of Manufacturers there
have been held at least half dozen international
peace gatherings of first magnitude. While the en-
ploying class phrase-mongers were attempting to
hide the imperialist intents and purposes OF the
ruling class behind a smokescreen of poisonous
words, the munition makers were plying their
trade more prosperously than ever.
This apparently strange contradiction is grim
reality confronting the workers today. This situa-
ton is a sad commentary on the likelihood OF the
international bankers and industrialists being able
to bring peace to the world for even limited num-
Der of years. While the meaningless words of an
impossible peace being uttered, the seeds OF an
impending heish war are being sown.

Miners Must Fight

Meeting in Herrin yesterday, the coal operators
and their ieutenants make public the object of
their plottings for the past two years-smash the
wage scale of the miners and destroy their union
Frank harrington, by playing around with the
utopian schemes of class collaboration with such
buncombe as the talk of super-power plants as the
cure for the miners ills and by joining hands with
Lewis in putting the three-year contract in
such fashion that it puts rope around the
Illinois miners necks-Farrington has, by these
and other methods, carefully prepared the way for
the operators conference in Herrin.
OF course, the union officials do not dare to sit
openly into the Herrin conference. They will put
up bluff of fighting it. But they have nothing
definite to offer. They continue to talk about CO.
operating with the BOSSES they continue to propose
collaboration schemes, that mean nothing except
profits to the bosses. But what the miners need is
a fighting leadership, district and national, that
will go out and organize the miners 100% and
then cut down the working day to hours and the
week to days, without reduction of earning
capacity of the miners.

Wisconsin No Exception

Much valuable ink and oceans of words have
been spilled by our liberal political innocents and
indictments about the great panacea that LaFol-
lettes wisconsin plan" has proved to the workers
All talk to this effect is as empty as it is loud
The Wisconsin plan of government is originally
the same plan funetioning thruout the country !;
the plan whereby thegempoying class utilities the
state machinery to Cypress the workers and cripple
them in their struggle for better employment and
living conditions.
Turnout the country, Wisconsin and the other AZ
states included, the court system is the pivotal
point in the whole governmental organization be-
ing used against labor Fresh evidence of this
dition being scource of grave difficulties for the
workers in LaFollette's state is revealed thru the
issuing of temporary injunction restraining the
operation of the Wisconsin minimum wage law.
We see no cause for holding that the minimum
wage of twenty five cents an hour for adult women,
as ordained by the Wisconsin minimum wage law,
is source of substantial relief to the working
class. But the Wisconsin district court, at Supe-
rior, found it necessary to brand even this nsig-
nifcant measure a violation of the constitutional
provision guaranteeing the sacredness of the free
dom of contract and private property 1t is plain
that in the Badger state in all the states where
the reactionaries make no pretense about the pro
pressive character of their ADMINISTRATIONS, the in
terests of the properted class are held far above
the welfare of the working masses.
In the light of an unbroken series of such ex-
periences as the above with the Wisconsin judicial
Ioligarchy, LaFollettes continuous talk about the
tyranny of the court is quite useless Our judicial
oligarchy will be made impotent only when the en-
tire system of government dominated by the en-
ploying class is gotten rid of by the exploited
workers and the dispossessed farmers The
ownership of the means of production and ex-
change and of the governmental machinery by the
bosses is alone responsible for the sufferings of
the workers at the hands of the courts, legisla-
lures, and executive bureaus.
1t is this sore spot that LaFollette not only
refuses to remove, but thru his economic and po-
litical program is seeking to perpetuate His sham
battles in the courts are signs of friendship for
the workers. They that much dust thrown into
the eyes Of the working men. Fundamentally Wis
consin is as much tool in the hands Of the ex-
ploiters as any other state in the Union.

Towards Splendid Isolation

In an address delivered before the Institute of
international Politics of the Federal Council of
Churches, Samuel G.. Inman, student of Latin
American problems, pointed out the great dangers
to the United States of its being isolated by a
united n-American opposition.
No one can Overestimate the seriousness OF this
danger to the workers and farmers OF the United
States. Our imperialists are driving at such a
headlong pace towards world domination that in
time they are bound to win universal hatred. Such
a "victory" will necessarily be the signal for new
world confagration. Not only in Latin America,
not only in the Far East and in Asia Minor but
also in Europe the American capitalists are
rapidly extending their sway
Our exploiters have at this moment an invest
ment of more than 81, 100000 in the markets
and industries of the lesser indusrialy developed
and the war-stricken countries Handsome profits
and fabulous dividends must be collected on these
giant investments of the surplus value wrung from
the American workers by our exploiting class.
Security in the terms of yassal governments, con
troll of the natural resources of the country, and
mortgages on the basic industries, is an essential
guarantee demanded by our imperialists before
they invest single dollar.
Therein lie the dangers of the United States
achieving this goal Of splendid isolation Sooner,
rather than later, the hatred of the world Will
be won by our imperalsts along with their DONNA
ton of the markets and industries of the other
countries This means that the very working class
whose products were taken from them to be in
vested by their bosses in the foreign lands will be
called upon to fight for the safety Of these invest
ments. for the continuity Of the flow of dividends
to the very class that is exploiting the masses of
every country.
The times demand that the workers of the United
States and the Latin American countries get to-
gether with the working masses of all the other
countries for organized united action against the
serious menace Of another world slaughter that
will with certainty follow the presently brewing
sharp conflict of interests among the various ma
tonal, capitalist imperialist groups
