Poor Team Work

There is sad lack Of cooperation between
Brother Meyer Perstein and s. vanofsky,
editor of Justice, official organ Of the Inter-
national Ladies Garment Workers.
Perlstein has been weeping all over the
pages Of the Chicago Tribune because Of the
disruptive work of certain sheiks. he alleges,
are employed by bosses and to the activities Of
these persons he ascribes the failure of the
organization campaign here.
Comes now Brother Yanofsky, ex-anarchist,
and a recent convert to Gompersism, and lays
the blame for the organization debacls on the
radical elements, thus giving the lie direct to
his payroll colleague.
In this difference OF opinion between two
alibi artists we take neutral position !. g., we
consider both of them very clumsy liars.
The truth Of the matter is that following the
expulsion Of the left wing elements the Ladies'
Garment Workers Union in Chicago has lost
its fighting spirit.
Of this Invaluable asset Of union the left
wingers had a monopoly.
Deprived of their activities, aid and advice
the Ladies' Garment Workers Union is becom-
ing typical Gompers unon-devoid of initia-
tive, destitute of leadership, with its officials
blaming everything but their own reaction and
inefficiency for the failure to accomplish the
primary function Of any union-organization of
the industry over which it claims jurisdiction.
The left wingers, the most active ones at
least, have been deprived of membership in
the union and we await with considerable
curiosity the next Sigman-Perlstein-Y anofsky
alibi for the continuation of the retreat the
Ladies' Garment Workers will be forced to
make until the oficialdom recognizes the fact
that functioning unions are not built up by
high-salaried incompetents but by militant
workers whose devotion to revolutionary
theory and practice is the best index of their
loyalty to the working class.

Democracy From the Inside

Millions of workers and farmers who for
merly were subjected to the blessings of Capt.
talist Democracy are now living under the pail
of open, brutal capitalist dictatorships-Fa as
cist governments.
Within the last two years the tendency to
discard the mask of fraudulent democracy has
been so greatly enhanced that the official
apologists of the capitalist order have had the
devils own time trying to build up philoso-
ply of excuses for the rousing welcome the big
employers have accorded the new Fascist
governments.
Perusing some of the most inspired apollo
getic literature we came across a rather in
structive and somewhat unusually honest ex-
PLANTATION. In its last Monthly Bulletin, the
National City Bank gives the real why and
wherefore of government to-day and of capt.
talist democracy. To quote in part "Democ-
racy had run itself into the ground, and in
sheer desperation the public welcomed any
authority that promised to be strong enough
and patriotic enough to give good government
After all, the most important service Of gov
eminent is that of maintaining order and pro-
tecting industry and private business If
democracies will learn this lesson they will be
greatly benefited by the experience"
Here we are told the real function of gov
eminent today by those who are on the inside
We are indebted to the National City Bank
for its frank statement Of what capitalist
democracy really is. No Communist could
ever put the issue more squarely and define
the role of government today more clearly.

The Russian Investigation

The Senate investigation of alleged Soviet
Government activities in the United States
against the government seems to have lost fire.
For few days it appeared that the sub-com-
mittee presided over by Borah would really
get down to the bottom Of things and present
comprehensive report to the Senate in order
to enable it to debate the Borah Russian Rec
ognition Resolution with some degree Of in
telligence.
1t appears now that there is danger Of the
country being spared the pleasure Of a near
intelligent debate in Congress on the Russian
question. There is an attempt being made to
have the committee discontinue its hearings
There can be only one reason for the effort to
stop the sessions of Borah's subcommittee.
The State Department has presented its case
and it is the concensus of opinion amongst the
members of the subcommittee and the inter
ested observers that the evidence submitted by
Hughes was very weak. The documents and
general material presented by the State De-
partment's agents were handled much more
poorly than by some second-class city attor-
neys in their prosecution of Communists. This
unquestionably will be the decisive reason for
disseminating the hearings if the committee
decides to do so.
Samuel Gompers has made formal request
upon the subcommittee to be permitted to
state his case against the Communists Some
committee members were at first reluctant to
0SOSUC " GOldpCIS ISQueSC IOT lear LndL IL
would become too evident that the decisive rea-
son for the administrations refusal to resume
friendly relations with Russia was its fear of
the effect new Russian policy would have on
the American labor movement. The govern
ment is particularly interested in perpetuating
!. Gompers' control of the American Federation
of Labor, and many of its leading figures dread
Russian recognition because they feel that it
would hurt the prestige and domination of the
labor lieutenants of capital in the organized
working class movement.
Compers, however, was granted permission
to appear before the committee. Should hear
ings be resumed the capitalist press will, with
out doubt, give the widest publicity to Com
pers' counterfeit charges against the Commun-
lists in America and against the Soviet Govern
ment. 1t will then be pertinent to ask whether
the Senate subcommittee in its desire to get
the fullest information about the horrible
crimes that are supposedly committed by
American Communists at the behest of the
Soviet Government will agree to allow repre-
sentatives of the Workers Party to state the
Communist case at the hearings.
If the Senate is to be given all the facts OBJ
tainable then the Communists will have to be
heard. Otherwise, the charge of bias against
the subcommittee will be irrefutable, especi-
ally in view of the fact that Gompers, Lewis,
and others, will have had the opportunity to
misrepresent the Communist program and
activities.

The Profits of Prohibition

In the little side show of an investigation
now going on in New York, the investigation
OF the Anti-Saloon League, much light is being
shed on prohibition as an industry We have
long known that the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law has been the butt of politics and
has enabled the present capitalist administra-
ton to build up its machine thru the disposal
of handsome patronage. We have long sus-
pected that our most strenuous prohibition ad-
vocates were giving vent too lightly to moral
Indignation over the ravages of LIQUOR. We
have often wondered how much they were
paid by those who had the price and the de-
sire to pay for these moral outbursts
The New York investigation of William H.
Anderson, the cyclops of the National Prohi-
bition movement, has fortunately let us in a
bit on this secret We now have confession,
and it must be a true confession, since Mr..
Anderson has always advertised his high re-
gard for morals from this leader of the Pro-
hibition league that some mysterious stranger
gave him $4,000 in cash. Mr. Anderson
grudgingly further confessed that he was oper-
ating his prohibition campaign on a basis of
splitting commissions. Of course, the reason
for his being so we'll treated is to be found in
the fact that his work was satisfactory.
These are but few of the myriad of facts
yet to be disclosed proving that prohibition
under capitalism, like most of the other move
ments for the uplift of the working men, is
run on the basis of making profits Most of
the professional prohibition agents are en-
gagged in their game in order to amass the
profits formerly secured by the manufacturers
of sundry liquors. There is only one way Of
removing the many evils of the use Of liquor
to which the workers are subjected. That way
is to take the profit out of prohibition and not
the present capitalist method of transferring
the liquor profits to the field of our new and
flourishing indusry-the industry of prohibit
ton enforcement.
Soviet Russia has shown the way. in Soviet
Russia the profits have been taken out of the
manufacture of liquor and the enforcement of
prohibition. In Soviet Russia there are no pro-
fessional prohibition agents. In Soviet Russia
the bootlegging industry is at its lowest ebb
and does not flourish, as in the United States.
Let no one be disturbed. Anderson and his
tribe will continue preying upon the gullible.
It is in the interest of the capitalist class and
its guardian angel, the government, to have
such professional takers draw the red herring
of morality, decency and other vagaries, across
the trail Of the class conflicts in order to mis-
lead the workers

Serious Housing Shortage Menaces Workers

the working people In the metrOp-
oils:
Q.-How many vacancies are there
in your section today7
A. (Mrs. G-y, Bronx III don't
know Of a single one. For some
time / have been hooking out for a
friend of mine to get new rooms for
her family. The other day / saw a
room-to-let sign and tried to get
the fiat. The janitor told me that
he has already promised about twen-
ty other people a chance to look
it over"
Mr.. Til, q worker having a
family Of seven, and occupying a
four room apartment on the East
Side, told me: II haven't seen a
new house built In my neighborhood
for at least ten years. ! would like
to move into larger quarters, but
can't afford to spend car fare to
ride to work, and it is next to
impossible to find anything better
in the neighborhood. Besides, as a
new tenant, I would have TO pay
more for the same number of rooms.
/ am already paying the limit"
That this condition prevails thru
out the city was established by the
testimony of Tenement House Com
missioner Frank Mann, before the
Housing Commission, as shown be-
low:
"Q.--Now take Manhattan. 972 va
cancies in the old law tenements,
as Of March, 1923, compared with
1883 vacancies in the old lazy tene-
ments, as Of April, 1920; is that
right?
"A.-April, 1922. yes; 1883.
"Q.-Showing much more seri-
for moderate priced apartments in
Manhattan is concerned, in March,
1928, than in April, 1920; is that
right?
"A.-Undoubtedly; 50 far as lower
rental apartments are concerned,
there are practically none to be
had. They are practically all oc-
cupied.
"Q-These vacancies, in old law
tenements, as a matter of fact, are
the least desirable, are they not?
"A.-Of course, they are the least
desirable. am under the impress
sion, and l maintained years ago,
that, if normal conditions had con-
tinued to prevail, the time would
come when nobody would live in
the old law tenements."
Mass Dearth of Houses for the
Workers
Tho there has been going on a
good deal of building construction
in the last two or three years in
New York, the shortage of houses
from which the great mass of wage
earners is suffering is increasing.
1t has long been the concensus
of opinion amongst the most COM
petent social investigators that the
maximum the average family can
expend for rent is 20 per cent of
it's total income. Analysing the
effect Of new construction on the
housing situation in New York
State, the Commission concluded
that: "Only a few instances were
reported of rents in new construc-
ton at less than SIS per room, OF
| $45 for a three room apartment
Assuming 20 per cent of the income
for rent, and also on the basis Of
average rentals paid, construction
at this minimum rental is beyond
the means of most Of the 90 per
cent Of the population with family
incomes below $1,000 a year."
The new construction is helpful
and available only to about 8 pei

cent Of the population whose IN
come is $4,000 or more. The
Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce
found from an investigation Of the
rent situation confronting 500 fam
lilies Of the workers in the eight
leading industries Of the Borough
that less than 8 per cent of the
newly built houses is "within the
renting power Of persons earning
up to $50 a week, and that there
was none available in Brooklyn in
1922 for n person earning less than
$45 a week"
Why the Shortage7
The fundamental cause Of the
housing shortage in New York and
in the other centers of the country
is to be found in the private capital
list control of the housing facilities
of the great masses Of workers.
The capitalists find It necessary
to maintain a huge army of I'M
employed workers, an industrial re-
serve army, in order to maintain
what their defenders have chosen to
call FAN economic equilibrium in
wages" in reality, the lowest wages
workers can possibly be compelled
to accept. Likewise, the capitalist
landlords are now bent on main
tanning a huge reserve army of
tenants, Of workers being forced
to pay the highest, outrageous rents
for houses that should long ago
have been condemned as unfit for
habitation. The profit hungry land
lords are not willing to invest mon
ey in building homes which the
workers can afford to pay for from
their low wages.
Director of Investigations Cove
summed up the whole situation very
well to me when he said: 1--WE must
supply three-fourths of our families
with homes at $500 a year or less.
This can't be done under speculative
enterprise. The landlords haven't
done it and won't do it. Speculative
enterprise is filled with waste. The
whole competitive system is filled
with waste. This present system
has given rise to the f1y-by-night
Spectator, who is out only for
enough money to swing deal, buy
and transfer houses, boost the rent,
raise the prices, and quit"
