In Good Company FOreuer

When Gompers was alive and working overtime
to enhance the dividends of the exploiters, we
never failed to point out the character of the com
pany he was in.
We do not want to slight the memory of the
dead. But we have at hand statement of the
Chicago Tribune regarding the burial and final
disposition Of the body of Samuel Gompers which
is very instructive to the workers.
Samuel Gompers is buried in Sleepy Hollow
cemetery alongside of John ID. Rockefeller and
Andrew Carnegie. There is historic justice in this
burial. When Gompers was alive and working for
the exploiters, he was constantly in the company
of the open shoppers. He was a member of the
National Civic Federation, one of the blacklist
labor-hatng groups in the land. Even in hell or
in heaven, as one might want to place Gompers,
the former president of the American Federation
of Labor continues to be in the company of those
who were once the worst enemies of the working
class.
And the Rabbi Wise, who did most of the loud
praying at the democratic national convention
babe rather enlightening farewell to the erst
while foremost lieutenant of capital in the ranks
of the labor movement. The Rabbi eulogized Com
pers in precisely the fashion that he has time
and again done in the case of "dead statesmen
fnanciers and soldiers" 4
This is a very fitting eulogy indeed. Gompers
was only another pillar in the imperialist ediice
Gompers did more than his bit in closest collision
with the statesmen, fnanciers and miitarists OF
the employing class to perpetuate wage slavery
and to extend the influence of capitalist DONNA
ton abroad The rabbi was performing a good
job when he blessed the Gompers body in the way
he did. This blessing and farewell by Wise were
the finishing touches to career of service rendered
by Gompers to the bosses of the United States

Filipinos and "The League"

The Filipinos, thru their labor department in the
islands, have asked for information as to the steps
that must be taken to secure membership in the
league of nations. This effort is part of the cam
paign that is being waged by the Filipino nation
alsts to secure complete national freedom.
We have been in the front ranks of the move
ment for genuine Filipino freedom from the
clutches of American Imperialism. We propose to
continue to be so until the last financial pirate or
diplomatic or any agent of Yankee capitalism is
driven from the Archipelago. We will do every
thing in our power to unite the workers ind poor
farmers of the United States and the Philippines
for a victorious struggle against their common
enemies-the exploters of American and Filipino
stripe.
Consequently we are fully justified in rendering
some advice and criticism to the Filipino nation
alists Frankly, we believe that the Filipino in
dependence movement has been proceeding to a
very large extent in the wrong way. We believe
that this step taken to apply to the league Of
nations for membership is largely continuation
Of the ineffective tactics pursued by the Filipino
representatives in the United States.
The Filipino natonalists have spent consider
able energy in attempting to convince the Wash
ington government that Filipino freedom is in its
own interest. That is bascally wrong. Washing
ton is the enslaver and not liberator Of oppressed
nationalities. Washington is the citadel Of world
Imperialism today. Likewise, the league Of nations

The Pope and Communism

The pope, also known as His Holiness, delivered
a broadside against Soviet Russia in particular
and the Communist movement in general. Accord
ing to press dispatches the papal Illumination fol
lowed the return Of the pontiical relief mission
from Russia but the truth is that His Holiness,
as he sometimes styles himself, acted the orders
Of the protestant foreign minister of the British
tory government, Austen Chamberlain.
The pope is but the servant of international CAPT
talism He no longer makes and unmakes kings
and princes. He takes their orders like good and
humble servant In the International war Of CAPT
talism against Soviet Russia, the pope is valuable
cog. He still exerts influence over the minds of
millions of human beings therefore the capitalist
powers keep him on their payroll.
The so-called pontifcal relief mission to Russia,
was an espionage and propaganda expedition, just
like the American relief organization under Secre
tary Hoover. But these stoolpigeons were con-
fronted with a well organized and highly dis
ciplined Communist Party that could not be fooled
with fake charity stunts purchased with CAPT
talist gold The popes stoolpigeons held out while
there was any hope left and the vatcans squirt of
poison propaganda is proof that the organ grinder
of superstition sees no chance for his bunk to find
root on Soviet soil. So he withdraws his prospec-
tors and makes an open attack on the Workers
Republic.
The pope has been barking against Communism
for many years, but yet the movement marches
on, winning victory after victory. The pope, ally
of Mussolini, and representative of the dead past
sees the red tide of Communism rising. With cen
turtles of the most astute kind of diplomacy behind
him, he plays the game with a master hand, in a
desperate effort to keep his head above the rising
tide He will fail. The victory of Communism,
which is inevitable will seal the doom of the popes
business as well as of capitalism.

Everyone knows also, how our insti.

the world war. 1t is only the workers
in the ranks who meet the mailed fist
of our so-called institutions when
they point out the workings and char
acter of our beloved capitalist institu

dead Gompers served as a bound
slave, to the detriment Of the Ameri
can working class.
Gompers called for the blessings OF
our institutions. Can anyone imagine
that in doing so, he had in mind the
underpaid and unemployed wage
slaves in the helpless craft unions in
the A. F. of L.? Hardly. The poor
workers whom he kept divided and
unorganized were only useful to this
capitalist turnkey in realizing his self
ish aims during his lifetime. The only
use he had for the workers was to keep
them in submission and ignorance, and
furnish him with salary Of $25, 1000 a
year, to enable him to live in luxury
at the various pleasure resorts Of Am
erica and Europe. For the last few
summer seasons he ruled the A. F

City, pushed around by a colored ser.
want. In this one respect Gompers
was at least consistent, in that he
always associated himself closely with
the class he served, namely, the class
who own and control America and its
institutions. He even made provis-
ions during his lifetime to be with
them after his death, by securing a
burial plot in the most fashionable
graveyard in America, in order that
he might remain in close proximity to
Carnegie, Rockefeller and the rest of
the exploiters of labor.
Among all the different breeds of
self-seekers which infest the American
labor movement, Gompers was the one
outstanding champion Office holder of
them all. The way he hung on to
that job for over forty years was a
wonder. He was a marvel in sitting
every movement which may have eff
fected his tenure in office. He car
ried with him an insane hatred for
anything progressive from a workers
viewpoint. He fought amalgamation
of the present useless craft unions.
He bitterly opposed working class po-
litical action, as well as recognition

the welfare of its institutions even
unto his dying hour. However, in or
der to appreciate and understand
Gompers' viewpoint, and to ascertain
more clearly where his interests and
sympathies were located, it might be
well to just glance over some of these
american institutions" upon which
Gompers called for the blessings OF
god.
In the first place, these institutions
which Gompers loved so well, had as
early as in 1915, permitted 20 per
cent of Americas wealth to become
appropriated by per cent of our pop.

not the capitalist press, the church.

in furnishing the propaganda to sell

Christmas Gifts

Textile workers in Lowell, Massachusetts, have
received the comforting information that their
wages will be "readjusted" on December 20. OF
course, they will be readjusted downwards. The
employees of one large mill have been informed that
their meager standard of living will be further
reduced 10 per cent.
What has happened to the great wave Of pros
perity promised the wage slaves by the Coolidge
campaign orators prior to the last elections? The
Communists pointed out that so long capital
ism exists and commodities are produced for profit
and not for the of the producers, there cannot
be any prosperity for the workers. When there is
a market for goods, unemployment is reduced and
wages may go up provided the workers use their
collective power to force raise. But when the
markets are glutted, and the capitalists do not
see their way clear to produce commodities at a
profit, the workers are locked out and unless they
have managed to save something out Of their
scanty wages for emergencies, they and their de-
pendents face starvation.
