The Spanish military campaign in
that country has gone from bad to
worse and the dictator would fain
wash his hands of the whole bust

Recently he announced that the di.
rectorate which rules Spain decided
to withdraw the troops from many
OF the outposts held by the army.
But when the proposition was preached
to the army officers who captured
those posts at considerable risk and
discomfort, they would not hear of II.

looks as IL the Moors feared loss of

tillery bombarded the positions OF
the rebel Moorish tribesmen causing
many casualties.
In the meantime the King OF Spain

Union, contend that the group acted
in violation of rule adopted by the
last convention requiring two-thirds
majority for any legal action of the
General Executive Board. Further,
that the -Bowerman group con.
tinued to wolfe this rule after being
warned, attacked the right of the gen.
'eral convention to make this rule for
the G. E. b., and rejected the peace
offer of a proposed board meeting to
include all members, which was at
first one Of their leading demands.
In the special bulletin mentioned
above, the membership is solicited for
decision on a number Of constitutional
questions arising in the controversy,
such as the power OF the General Or
ganizer on the General Executive
Board, the authority OF the admins
tration in suspending three members
who violated the adverse ruling of the
last convention on the Communication
controversy, and the memberships de-
sire for a special convention to take
up the present differences.
Decay or Revival.
So far, the controversy appears on
the surface to be legalistic, and
neither side has yet defined or ana
lyzed it's own or the opposition's ac-
ton from AMI other viewpoint. Neither
side has yet offered statement ex-
planning or justiying their action from
a point Of view of revolutionary
unionism. 1t remains on the surface
as similar in nature to the internal
quarrels for control in the regular
non-revolutionary unions. The only
indication that this controversy may
yet assume a nature of revival of
the traditional fighting spirit which
has largely been dissolved by the paci-
fist and liberal penetration and con-
troll, is the activity and prominence of
a rank and file committee. II this in
dication does not materialize, and the
struggle for control remains unex-
planned by either side from the view
point of the revolutionist, the con-
troversy will indicate that it is a crisis
of disease and not of returning health.

the Local Farmer-Labbr Party to
unite the workers of Philadelphia for
Independent Political Action. 1t was
our hope that a great National Farm
er-Labor Party will be the outcome of
the st. Paul and Cleveland Conven-
tions held during the months of June
and July.
1--WE learn, however, that the FARM
er-Labor Party movement has been be-
trayed and prostituted by the so-called
Conference For Progressive Political
Action. BY its endorsement of the in
dependent candidacy Of Senator La
Toilette 1t has completely surrendered
to the two old capitalist parties.
"The LaFollette movement is not
working class movement, and is cal
culated to completely obscure the is
sue Of Independent Political Action. 1t
is movement of small business, man
ufacturers, bankers and rich farmers.
The working class has nothing to gain
by supporting the small exploiters
against their more powerful rivals.
LaFoIlette Danger.
1.-THE action of the Pennsylvania
State Conference for Progressive Poll
tical Action held in Harrisburg, July
81, and attended to by a few hand
picked and self appointed delegates"
shows clearly that the LaFollette
movement is a big danger to the
Farmer-Labor Party movement of this
country. A motion to run LaFollette
in this state on the Farmer-Labor
Party ticket was voted down. Fur
thermore, the Harrisburg conference
decided not to nominate an independ-
ent State ticket, but to indorse vari-
GUS candidates of the old capitalist
parties. The Harrisburg conference
thus decided to continue the old out
worn policy of reward your friends
and punish your enemies
Foster and oItIow.
Against this petty bourgeois move
ment of LaFollette there are the out
standing figures of William z. Foster
and BENJAMIN Gitlow, the candidates
of the Workers Party, whose true
working class character no one can
deny.
"The Workers Party has for the last
two years carried on and still con-
tinues to carry on a vigorous cam
paign for the formation of a truly
working class Farmer-LaDor Party. II
is at present the only political labor
organization which refused to bertay
.,he working class OF this country and
which struggles against LaFolletteism
dominating the labor movement
"The Second Conference OF the
Farmer-Labor Party at Philadelphia
therefore approves the action taken by
the National Executive Committee of
the Farmer-Labor Party formed at st.
Paul in indorsing the candidates of
the Workers Party and pledges itself
to support in every way possible the
campaign and the candidates OF the
Workers Party and calls upon all
workers Of Philadelphia to do like.
