The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-12
BY ANDRES MIN.

THE situation of the Italian work
ers is tragic. They are the daily
victims Of most abominable and in
famous acts of brutality as the ter
rible murder of the socialist deputy
Matteotti bears witness.
During the time since Fascism
came to power. wages in industry
have been cut down to the extent of
10 to Is per cent The Fascists make
the ridiculous assertion that there has
been no real reduction Of wages as
losses in wages in consequence Of
strikes have become very rare.
The eight hour day is nowhere
maintained. The Fascist law on the
eight hour day which, as is known,
has been an object of admiration by
the social patriot and president of the
International Labor Office, M. Albert
Thomas, provides for so many ex-
ceptions that the latter have become
the rule.
The collective agreements which
formerly in Italy have been strictly
fulfilled, are now only scrap Of pa
per.
The situation is still worse in the
agrarian districts. The day workers
on the land work on the average of
10 to IA hours for real starvation wag-
es, which at the highest are IL Lire
and at the lowest Lire. They are
terrorized by the local Fascist troops.
Despite the Fascist terror, the spir-
it of the working masses is excellent.
The encouragement which seized the
workers after the capture of power
by the Fascists, was only temporary
There are everywhere symptoms of
the revival and the rising Of the
workers. The Italian workers move
ment will probably bring us many
surprise. AS soon as the least pos
sibilities for action offer themselves,
they will soon rally in masses to their
trade union organizations. Those who
have been in touch with the Italian
workers in the last few months have
not the least doubt as to this.
The Fascist trade unions are a
mere bluff. According to the reports
of the secretariat of the national
council of Fascist trade unions, the
number Of their members amounts to
100000. But this number is grossly

Honoring Hughes

Ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and now
Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, has been
elected President of the American Bar Associa-
ton.
This is an Office that has as much power as honor.
attached to it. Though the Bar Association, con-
ssting of the highest priced lawyers in the coun-
try, is not formally recognized integral part of
the governmental machinery, it has been welding
increasing influence on the trend of law-making in
the country.
The election of Hughes at this time is signi-
icant The choice of our secretary of oil to head
the leading body of legal lights would suggest to
one that he is the best authority the law. And
that he is in view of the fact that the system of
law today is expressive of the system of private
property relationships under which the fullest
state powers openly employed to aid the bosses
in exploiting the workers. As a member of the
supreme court, Mr.. Hughes participated in hand
ing down some of the blacklist decisions that this
capitalist aristocracy Of the robe has handed
down against the working men.
One of the cardinal rinciples of employing class
law is that ignorance of the law is excuse be-
fore the bar of justice. The reason for this pro-
cedure is plain. The worker who is too busy in
the shop, mill or mine has no time to acquaint
himself with the law If the worker were thus per-
mitted to plead ignorance of the law the whole
capitalist judicial system would be resting on
shaky ground. Once you undermine confidence in
the judicial system broad scale, then you have
undermined the efficacy of the institution as an
agency of class power over the working men. This
the employer dare not permit.
But for the rich the situation is entirely differ
ent. Hughes offers an excellent example in point.
During the exposure of the crookedness of the de-
partment of justice it was shown that Hughes,
10 he Of law ~,
attendance at of the illegal showings of prize
fight films. Under the law he was expounding to
the masses Hughes liable to arrest and i'm
prisonment and fine. Nothing of the sort hap
pened. Hughes as ex-chief of the supreme court,
and as secretary of state, made plea that he did
not know he violating the law. Ignorance of
the law which sends the workers to Jail was the
haven of security for the man whom capitalist
law and life are one.

Competition in Subseruience

After the republicans had nominated Strike
breaker Coolidge for president and ""Open Shop"
Dawes for vicepresident, thus making a strong
bid for the support of all capitalist forces, the
democrats tried to go them one better by nominal
ing for president man who was at the moment
on the payroll of Morgan. This competition in
subservience to Wall Street was not at all sur
prising to anyone at all conscious Of the forces
that rule American politics.
1t has been more surprising to many, altho the
Communists have predicted it all along, that the
LaFollette movement is going the same road The
denunciation of the Communists, made by LaFol-
lette last month, was couched in the same terms
and might almost have been written by the same
people who drew up Mr.. Hughes report to the
senate, or Mr.. Burns newspaper stories. 1t was
pledge of protection for the private property
of capitalism against the demands of the outraged
masses.
Now the LaFollette forces are considering an
other move in the same direction, surrendering
further to the forces of reaction in the question
of the vice-presidential nominee who is to run
with LaFollette. They are reported to be serious
ly considering George l.. Berry, union bureaucrat
and strike breaker, who unites in himself the APP
prOach to Gompers and Wall Street at the same
time. If Berry is nominated to run with LaFol-
lette there will be three strike breaking tickets
in the field, and capitalists will be put to it to
Judge which would serve their interests best

exaggerated. The Fascist trade I'M
ions have no real existence. The Off
GERS are only appointed by the Fas-
cisti from above, without the mem
bers having any say in the matter.
The majority of the leading function
aries are intellectuals. At the head
Of the organizations are physicians,
lawyers, engineers, students, follow
ers of every kind of professionally
no workers. The Fascist organiza-
tions have no trade union life, no
elections, no meetings. The recruit
ing to the trade unions is either car
ried out by means of terror, or thru
an order on the part of the head of
an undertaking, by which means the
whole staff of the undertaking in
question is automatically affiliated to
the Fascist organization. In this case
the trade union fees are deducted
from the wages of the workers by the
employer. But even such member
ships are not of long duration. The
great bulk of the membership of the
Fascist organizations exists only on
paper.
We can claim that the Fascist
have by no means subjugated the in
dustrial proletariat. In such great
proletarian centers as Milan and Tur-
in, the Fascist trade unions in the
chief branches of industry, as the me-
tai industry, only comprise several
hundred adherents. Even on the land
the overwhelming majority of the
agricultural laborers are against the
Fascist and only await the moment
when they will be able to join the
class war trade unions. This state of
mind is not only to be observed in
such districts as Apulia, where the
fighting spirit of the agrarian popu-
lation was always very active and
where even now, thousands of agri-
cultural laborers are prepared to fol-
low the c. G. T. Federation of free
trade unions), but also in those dis
tricts which are considered as Fascist,
as the district of Bologna. The anti
Fascist mood is not always expressed
in affiliations to the c. G. T. because
this would be followed by repressions,
but in other ways.
When recently the agricultural
workers of Barricella, Altodo and Ma
lalbergo-xin the province of Bologna
were granted the right, freely to
elect the committees of their 'Fas-

A Communists Ticket

There can be no doubt that the betrayal at Cleve-
land, where the official labor leaders delivered
their followers over to LaFollette, was frstclass
disaster for the labor movement. 1t set back the
most promising development in American life the
birth of broad farmerlabor party, expressing
the next step in the struggle against capitalism,
for few years at least This betrayal, carried
thru over the bitterest opposition of the left wing
led by the Communists in the Workers Party, rem
dered necessary the entry of Communist ticket
in this election to lead the fight against the trea
son of LaFolletteism as well as against the CAPT
talist system.
What the workers lose in the sabotage Of the
labor party practiced by the G. P. P. A., they
can only regain by rallying to the Workers Party
ticket, Foster for president and Gitlow for vice
president. It's an i'll wind that blows no good,
and the betrayal at Cleveland be turned
against its authors by bold and courageous action
BY putting a Communist ticket in the field, the
Workers Party offers to the working class an op-
portunity to recover the lost ground and deliver
a stinging blow to the capitalist system as we'll
In the 1924 election, it will be greater achieve
ment, after the Cleveland betrayal, to gather a

Let every revolutionist prepare to be counted.
Let every one enroll himself in the party of revolu

masses, and deliver a blow against capitalism and

An Abridged History.
Nearly twenty years ago, when the
auto industry was in it's primary stage
and Flint was town of about $4,000
population, an automobile factory was
started here with a prominent citizen
at the head. AS company devlop-
ments proceeded it was decided to
make this the center of a great Wall
Street company Their greatest asset
lay in the fact that, this being back
ward agricultural esction, they could
build city after their own image.
Building Trades Bosses.
The only operating trade union here
is the building trades, managed by
autocrats, and it plays into the hands
of the companies against the workers.

tifcally here. AS soon as the town

trebled in inflated values. The work
er found himself reveling in unheard
of wealth and plunged into debt,
which works as twofold advantage
to the schemers who own the banks
and shops. When overproduction ar
rives, which is about every two or
three years, the worker is stripped of
his property and is forced into debt
for incidentals before he is allowed to
resume work again. When he returns
from the daily exploitation by the boss
he is pounced upon by the landlord,
the baker, the doctor, the butcher and

The Third r. |. L. U. Congress

The Red International Of Labor Unions is now
in the middle of its third world congress. 1t is
summarizing the results of eighteen months ex-
perence since its last congress, in the AZ nations
in which it has affiliations with 100000 revolu
tionary unionists. 1t is event of profound i'm
portance to the workers of all the world.
The Communist International is, for brevity,
called the "Comintern." Likewise, the Red Inter
national of Labor Unions has its Russian name
abbreviated to "Profntern"-and this is word
every worker already knows or must learn. For
the Profntern is the engine of revolution among the
trade unions of the world bringing to the scattered
forces of organized labor MARKHAM direction and
a fighting program, program that holds in view
the revolutionary goal while dealing realistically
with everyday problems
The Profntern has met, since its provisional or
ganization in 1920, host of enemies capitalist,
reformist and anarcho-syndicalist But because it
is not an artificial creation, because it arises from
the vital needs of the workers, it has thrived on
opposition. It's principles and tactics are the
principles and tactics of Leninism, of Commun-
ism. 1t was born, it lives and it continually in
creases its influence and power because it marches
with history. 1t answers to historical necessity
in this the imperialist stage the declining stage
Of capitalism.
Obviously, the working class, if it used its power
IN 1uL, WOulu crush capitalism III u Single udy-
with one blow. 1t is the ignorance and confusion
among the Masses the reformist illusions of the
social democrats, and the equally mistaken illu-
sions of the anarchosyndicalist utopians, which
prevent the working class from striking the blow
that would free it from exploitation. Without
the unions the organized masses united and
brought into conflict with capitalist forces there
can be no revolution. Hence, those who claim the
proud name of reyolutionist must never forget
the work which must be done in the unions. Those
who call themselves Communist, particularly,
have no right to that name if they do not first
understand the imperative necessity Of activity in
the unions secondly if they do not participate
vigorously in that activity
The third congress Of the Profntern is threshing
out many vital questions. When its decisions are
given they will be carried out by the Trade Union
Educational League. The worker who is not in
terested, who regards this as something foreign,
who does not participate and participate actively
in industrial work, may be a member of any or
ganization or none, but he is not Communist.

cist" organizations, they elected as
leaders fighting revolutionary work
ers, who had been driven by force
from their work place. Even in Bo-
logno various trade union organizh-
tions, among them that Of the tram
way men, have disaffiliated from the
Fascist organizations. We could state
numerous cases, as the one from Sa-
vona, where the workers have severed
from the Fascist organizations and
have elected former revolutionary
leaders to the executive committees.
Another manifestation of the anti
Fascist spirit of the masses Of the
Italian workers is found in the. cleo
tions to the shop committees, where
in SO cases out Of a hundred the lists
of the c. G. T. polled an overwhelm-
ing number Of votes.

The Workers in Fascist Italy

The Fascists are only strong in the
organizations Of the railwaymen, the
post and telegraph workers and the
civil servants organizations which
are chiefly composed Of petty bour-
geois elements. We have to record
that Immediately after the Fascist
coup d'etat, $4,000 railwaymen, consti-
tuting the vanguard of the railway
men, were dismissed and replaced by
outspoken Fascist elements. The ma
tional organizations" have succeeded
in getting a certain number of intel
lectuals and unskilIed workers as
their followers. The Fascist fedora
tions have only two papers att their
disposal. I'll Lavoro d'Italia" appears
once week and LA Stripe" twice
month. There is no daily paper Of
the Fascist organizations.

she'll reactionary. He sees in John w.
Davis progressive" OF course, that
does not mean anything as most of
those styled progressives are bad
lot Most of those labelled progress
sives are in reality reactionaries. Hard
noticed that in Davis's speech to the
convention after his nomination, he
never once referred to the party plat
form as Sound" or "sane," showing
he was a progressive That indicated
intelligence more than progressive
ness. He appealed to liberals, who
like to be appealed to. They get kick
out being noticed by the big reaction
aries. If John w. Davis is progress
sive, then Calvin Coolidge is a phil
osophical anarchist, another name for
spitoon philosopher, and LaFollette is
Communist. There is much food for
mirth in the piffle manufactured by
hack journalists nowadays.
Whatever else may be said Of the
Bryan brothers after they pass away,
this much can be said that they both
ran for the White House. Bill ]. ran,
but as runner he was a first class
turtle. Charles has been more sue
cessful tho he never entered in big
race until now. He specialized in fight
ing the three G's, Gas, Gravel and
Gasoline, while his brother tackled the
three BIS, Booze, Doodle and Bawdy,
houses. The House Of Bryan lived on
the House Of Morgan by attacking It.
1t was a good meal ticket and the
"Commoner" is now a millionaire and
his brother Charley is a long way from
the poor house. But both are political
frauds. Capitalist politicians are gen.
orally of cheap type. but the fake
progressive is the most nauseating.
Samuel Gompers is so disappointed
at the way he was treated by the re-
publican and democratic conventions
that he does not know what to do. It
seems that the controlling interests in
both parties gave him the cold
shoulder. He did not make a serious
effort to get hearing at Cleveland,
but the bosses gave him five minutes
and then ignored him. At New York
he did not fare any better. He did
not even get much publicity. In spite
of his stunt of walking into the meet
ing place Of the resolutions committee
accompanied by nurse, his name was
barely mentioned in the press. The
! platform was written as If Sam never
existed and when Al Smith or McAdoo
failed to get elected and Strikebreaker
Berry only got few hundred votes,
Gompers felt real sick. He was able
to support the red-baiter Mitchell
Palmer in 1920 but Davis and Nor
gan-can he do it? But John L. Lewis,
it is said will find an excuse to call
on his organization to support Calvin
Coolidge because of Davis's connection
with the Coronado case.

Still Solid as a Rock

John c. Kennedy, secretary of the Farmer-La
Dor Party of Washington, writing in the Seattle
Union Record, makes the following statement con-
corning the part played in the Farmer-Labor con-
vention in st. Paul by the Communists
"Whatever else may be said of the Communists
in this convention-and they we're very infuen-
tial element-nobody can deny that they worked
consistently and earnestly at all times for the
firm establishment of the FarmerLabor Party
Indeed, about the only point upon which the Com
munists were unwilling to compromise was on the
question Of clean-cut Farmer-Labor Party. Here
they were solid rock"
1t has been definitely established, and generally
recognized that the Communists are the only ele-
ment that at all times and places is fighting for
the Farmer-Labor party, for the break with the
capitalist political machines, and for the united
front of the workers in struggle against their
ploiters. The words of John G. Kennedy are but
another recognition of this established fact. And
the Communists in spite Of treason at Cleveland,
will continue to fight for the establishment of the
mass Farmer-Labor party.
