Jan SHUTS

The elections in South Africa according to press
reports show that Jan SHUTS long the political
leader of the imperialists in that British colony
has gone down in defeat before a combination of
tRepublican-Labor forces under the
leadership of General NJ. B. Hertzog nationalist
leader.
SHUTS is a liberal Of the Wilson brand who loves
the world but hates the workingclass. He was one
of the most eloquent advocates of the League of
Nations, a scheme calculated to strengthen the
hold of international capitalism the workers
and the subject peoples Of the colonial empires
While characterized as a liberal SHUTS during
the great Rand strike in 1921 acted the part of a
bloody capitalist but butcher and sent several
brave leaders Of the rebel workers to the gallows
without qualm. A traitor to the cause of Boer
independence when with the infamous bible
FOUNDER General Botha he sold out to the British
General SHUTS was a loyal servant of British i'm
perialism and never betrayed the trust reposed
in him. This is his first defeat at the hands of the
people he betrayed. But his crimes against the
workers merit more severe punishment than loss
of office.

Takers Becoming Bankers

With the announcement that the building trades
union officials of Chicago launching another
'1abor bank it becomes evident that this mania is
taking ever more dangerous proportions. The
'1abor banks" already in existence, some fifteen of
them, are bad enough. But what will we have
when the hard-boiled building tradesmen get into
the game? The railroaders control their unions in
small measure, but compared with some of the
building trades and such unions as the teamsters
of Chicago that elect their officers for life they
have democracy itself. Add to the present powers
of these bureaucrats the control of great finances
in close cooperation with the big banks and thence
with Wall Street. and it seems that the day of real
fighting labor unionism is on the wane until the
rank and file bestir themselves.
What can be expected from these "1abor banks"
is seen in the case of the ones in Cincinnati and
Washington, where the earliest and biggest de
posits were made by Railroad Corporations. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railway, which has since en-
tered into cooperation plan that ties the unions
up in a thousand other ways, began its collabora-
ton by making huge deposits in 'labor banks"
A multitude of new channels for exerting pres
sure upon the unions are thus made available to
the employers. And by the same token, multi
tude of means for corruption, devious and hidden
and defying all efforts to bare them. With the
manipulations of banking business the unions
will soon find that they have been emasculated,
corrupted and tied up with the worst phases of a
rotten capitalist system. The revolt against this
treachery will be hard and bitter struggle and
the sooner the union members wake up to the
menace, that much sooner will they overcome the
danger.

Teapot Dome is international

Smears of oil, appearing domestic and in
ternational politics, have long been apparent Oil
and Imperialism oil and corruption, oil and ex-
ploitation, oil and mlitarism-these are insepara-
bile today. Oil is the key Of capitalist world power
today.
1t is therefore not matter of surprise that oil
and murder are now commonplace partners. The
murder of Deputy Matteott of Italy by the fascist
gang in power, hooking directly into our NDil-
politics in America in the Sinclair deals that the
deputy was exposing, might have been expected.
Violent death of those who oppose or endanger
in any other way the consumption of great schemes
of exploitation has long been a commonplace in
the development Of oil in America
We have not yet had our American Matteotti,
not yet our American Mussolini Aspirants for
the dictator's Office are, however, abundant. And
violent deaths are not unknown here, in connec-
ton with oil, among those in high places. Recall
the name of Jess Smith, the weakling who it was
feared would talk too much; of Jake Hamon who
bought cabinet position but never occupied it.
And who would be so rash as to say the death of
Harding had no connection whatever with the poll
tics of oil?
But in Italy the dealers in oil monopoly the
Fascist party, have gone far, both in outraging
the working class and whipping it into revolt, and
in undermining the entire social and economic
system thru private plumber, that the latest oil
murder there, the assassination of Deputy Mat
teotti, bids fair to inaugurate the struggle for
power of the working class over the capitalist re-
action.

The Gold Dust Wins

In Madison Square Garden, New York, meets
today the twin of the Cleveland gathering of two
weeks ago. Democratic politicians, gathered from
the halls of Tammany, the plantations of the
south, and the underworld of all of the big cities,
will discuss "affairs of state' and who is going to
appoint postmasters, sign deeds to public land,
apportion the rewards for "open shop" service,
and generally sweep up around the offices of ]. P.
Morgan 4 Co.
OF course the Gold Dust Twins, the Democratic
and Republican parties, are not exactly alike. The
most striking difference is that one is in and the
other out. That is why selects the cipher
Coolidge by almost unanimous vote, while the
other will battle long and ardently before it knows
upon whom the tightening of Wall Street favor
will strike.
There are other differences also. The republi-
can twin, more fortnight and frank picks Dawes
for second place, banker, fascist, an "open
shopper" and appointee of Morgan. The dem
ocratic half of the Wall Street pair will consider
spect except that he holds the title of president of
a labor union instead of president of bank. That
is, the democratic twin is the more assembling
of the two.
Each of the twins will denounce the other as dis
honest, as corrupt, as the servants of predatory
interests each will proclaim its allegiance to the
'peepul." The battle will be long and loud, but
the projectiles hurled about will be feather pill
lows that will fall harmlessly upon the chuckling
manipulators of the entire show, the men who
sign the checks to pay for the entertaining circus

Is Wisconsin S. P. Getting "Red"?

Action by the Wisconsin Socialist party in con-
vention in Milwaukee Sunday, in demanding that
LaFollette support "a labor party" as the price Of
their support for him, is somewhat similar to that
taken by the ST. Paul convention that the S. p.
denounced but few days ago. Is the party of
Berger, Hoan, and Hilquit suddenly becoming
sred?"
No, the explanation is not drastic as all that.
The S. p. is still yellow it ever was. But
and here is where the practical politician from
Wisconsin got crossways of rightwing left-wing
and center Of the farmer-labor party movement
to endorse LaFollette an independent candidate
would be to destroy the Socialist party of Wis
consin just as it would destroy the Farmer Labor
party of Minnesota, and the Dakotas. So Hoan

socialist politics, forced by selfinterest to fight
against LaFollette an independent They must

B. w. Huebsch & Co. SO.
To the younger generation of rad
icals and Communists this book will
iappear as the story OF old gods, de-
mons and dreams. But even so It is
an intensely interesting and absorb
ing story. Altgeld is chiefly known
as the man who as governor of I'LL
nois pardoned three of the Haymar-
ket anarchists"
From this biography it would ap-
pear that that was his only claim to
fame. After he pardoned the labor
leaders and sent out his pardon mes
sage in which he proved that they
were unjustly convicted and implied
that the others who had been hung
were also unjustly convicted and
hanged he was the target for the mud
singing of the entire brass check
press of that time. Pardoning the
anarchists would have been forgiven
but to say they were not convicted
justly aroused the ire of the pluto
press.
Before that time Altgeld was mere
ly a Democrat who fought against the
tendency Of the post-civil war period
toward the trustifying and central
izing Of industry. Then he broke his
pick by the anarchist pardons

But artels have also this limitation,

doubtful whether it can hold its own

Two Jockeys

A Punch cartoon represents Lloyd George and
Winston Churchill jockeying for the leadership
Of an avowed anti-Sociaist party. Lloyd George
says, "This is my mount" and Churchill comes
back with: mo, it isn't, / thot of it first"
The Tory and Liberal parties of England have
no more economic justification for separate exist
today than the Republican and Democratic
parties in the United States. 1t is quite within
the bounds of possibility that the left wing liberals
will, in the near future, line up with the Labor
Party which is essentially liberal and not labor,
and that the more conservative liberals will join
the Tories.
The contenders for the leadership in this com
bnation are Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
Both are brilliant and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
British capital does not fear the leadership of
Ramsay Macdonald but it fears the masses who
are behind the Labor Party. 1t must therefore
organize its forces better than now on the poiti.
cal field in order to cope with the coming menace.

Beginning with the anarchist pardons,
he was driven to an early death by
the ours who bounded him in every
way it is possible to hound a man.
Altgeld was a brave and gallant
fighter for the right as he saw 1t. The
most radical idea he ever stood for
was municipal ownership. At one
time he rivaled Byran in the infiu-
ence he held over the Democratic
party.
He was stricken with the stroke

Twelve hundred international bank
ers journeyed to Boston recently to
help decide this country's foreign pol
icy. Our statesmen kick because the
Communist Party Of Russia is the
ruling party in that country. But Il
seems to be quite proper to have the
bankers meet in conclave and decide
what shall be the foreign policy Of
the United States. Mr.. James A. Far
rell, president of the Steel Corpora
ton, was a prominent figure there.
Prominent also was p. A. S. Frank
lin, head of the International Mercan-
tile Marine Co. The latter had no d.
rect part in the proceedings but he
wrote the resolutions on shipping. He
is member of the ruling class. That
convention was much more impor-
tant than several sessions Of congress.
The latter generally does what is de-
cided by the bankers and big business
at their conferences.
When an American worker attends
Communist congress in Europe a
horde Of stool pigeons are on the look
out for him. His movements are re-
ported to the Department of Justice
and to Samuel Gompers. But Ameri-
can bankers spend about one third
of the year in Europe attending con-
ferences of international bankers and
striving to have their decisions passed
favorably upon by the American con-
gress. 1t is perfectly legal because
they are the ruling class. We are in
formed by the Wall Street news bu-
reau that Fred /. Kent, vice president
of the Bankers Trust Co. of New York
spends one third of the year. in Eu-
rope He is personally acquainted
with all the principals of the Dawes

PAINTING DAY A SUCCESS

go. The hall was over half
painted and a wood house coming
on fine when the ladies gave that
welcome cali and men, boys and

hungry and all received a bounti-
full supply from the proverbial
table that groaned beneath its
weight of good things to eat. At
$50 supper whs served, and the
painting Of the hall had been
completed. the floors and Win
dows had been washed. The
wood house wasn't quite done
then but it was completed before
dark. Again the folks ate and
departed with that satisfied feel
ing that comes when one has
given his best.
Besides the ten or a dozen men
and boys who gave their own time
to painting and building, there
were two linemen representing
our local light and phone com
pany. A painter Employed by
