Industrial crisis, albeit at the expense
Of the poorly paid shop craftsmen.
Berger said that LaFollette is get
ting old and conservative; that there
fore no new ideas can be expected
from him. Yet Berger might have
looked into mirror and studied him
self. Berger, as we'll as LaFollette,
loves to bask close to respectable re-
action, so close that he is absolutely
useless in a working class movement
They Look in the Mirror.
The Wisconsin socialists also took
good look into the mirror, saw Ber-
ger and his Cleveland policies and de-
clared they would have none of them
For, while Berger would safeguard his
child, the national socialist party, the
Wisconsin socialists have something
to protect at home, in their state
their own political jobs. This can only
be done thru a strong Milwaukee and
Wisconsin socialist organization.
Among those who spoke against
Berger's demand for approval of La
Follette's independent candidacy were
Hoan, the socialist mayor; Quick, the
socialist state senator; Strehlow, the
socialist alderman, typical of other So
cialists who hold political Office in
Wisconsin. Approval of LaFollettes
candidacy would play havoc with the
socialist vote in Milwaukee and thru
out Wisconsin. Leaving blank the
place opposite LaFollette, as repub-
lican candidate for U. S. senator, two
years, hit the socialists heavily, in
place of the opposite as they had
hoped. The worker-farmer voters
asked, what then is the difference
between the Berger socialists and the
LaFollette republicans" Thus the
right wing of the Wisconsin socialist
party is against Berger.
The left wing also opposes Berger
because it feels that the socialist par
ty is a dominant force able to go it
alone. With daily paper in Milwau-
kee, altho lodged securely in Bergers
hands; with mayor of the states
metropolis, with numerous aldermen
and state legislators, with the unions
fairly "socialistic," these left wingers
are innocently content to go along. as
they have been during the last quarter
of century, just educating" They
made solid united front with the
right winger, Hoan, against Berger.
Aversion Is Found Elsewhere.
This aversion on the part of the
Wisconsin socialists to the Cleveland
gathering of the Conference for Prog
ressive Political Action is shared by
socialists in other parts of the coun-
try:
Thus we find an editorial in the Ar
beiter-Zeitung, the German socialist
weekly in Chicago, that also clings
closely to German elements in the
Wisconsin socialist movement, declar-

Trot Out the Old Stuff

The Sherman Antitrust Law has furnished
much campaign material in the past. 1t serves
alike for conservatives progressves, ms and outs.
If an election draws near, file suit to bust up
the Standard Oil corporation; that is always popu-
lar, it draws the votes and it doesn't hurt Stand
ard Oil any.
Cal Coolidge and his advisers have evidently
decided to fall back upon this old reliable method
of campaigning So Attorney General Stone sue
cessor to the late Daugherty of odOrous memory,
has filed suit against fifty oil companies headed
by Standard Oil, charging combination to control
the market This is wise move from every angle
Standard will doubtless make extra contributions
to the Coolidge fund in return for the free adver-
Using, while the boobery will cheer the great
trustbuster.
And so they continue to trot out the old stuff.
There is terrible staeness about everything done
in this campaign by the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. They are in the days of their de-
cay, and their imagnatons have been the first to
die

u S. Socialists Standing at the Crossroads

socialist party in New York City, al
tho Morris Hillquit is usually their
lawyer when they get into trouble, b
by the anti-C Communist Jewish Dali
Forward. In other words the Nev.
York socialists trail the Forward and
these union officials into the Cleveland
Conference.
They did exactly that thing when
they met with the railroad brother.
hood officials and Tammany Hall po-
liticians in Albany, New York, one
year ago, only to be thrown into the
street. If the New York socialists put
up any pretensions to maintaining
their own party and autonomy at the
Cleveland gathering, they will no
doubt suffer the same fate.
This Straw Didn't MateriaIize.
Under these circumstances it is to
be expected that the greatest note Of
hysteria in socialist circles should
come from New York. Recently the
slogan was put forth. "A labor party
organized by the socialists" This
was tanned down in the last issue Of
The New Leader, the N. Y. social
organ, to Unity of st. Paul with
cialists seen as alternative to failu.
to organize a Labor party" This is
more than the wish of headline
writer. 1t was the grabbing at a
straw, June 14th, that did not mate
rialize on June 18th. The New York
socialists laid awake nights hoping to
get reports from st. Paul that the nom
Communist farmer-laborite had split
with the Communists, making it pos
sible for the socialists to come into
the st. Paul fold. But the split that
the socialists hoped for and the capt.
talists prayed for did not take place.
Split Inevitable at Cleveland.
1t is at Cleveland where the split
will take place. That is the meaning
of the action of the Wisconsin social
list convention, that voted in principle
for the st. Paul position.
The Wisconsin socialists will have
26 delegates at the national socialist
convention in Cleveland, July s, the
day after the conference for Progress
sive Political Action adjourns. Those
26 votes have been instructed to re-
ject ay alliance with LaFollette on
the basis of an independent candi-
dacy. Those 26 delegates will no doubt
dominate the socialist convention.
Since the socialists must split with
LaFollette at Cleveland, even as the.
Wisconsin socialists split with him at
their recent state convention in Mil
waukee, they have but two roads to
choose from:
I.-AIliance with the FarmerLabor
forces organized at ST. Paul.
2.-The lonesome road to complete
isolation.
The socialists in these United States
are truly at the crossroads.

"A Political MoUe"

Inc ANTITRUST suit, WHICH Attorney Genefal
Stone of the Coolidge administration has filed
against numerous Standard Oil subsidiaries, may
impress the man on the street but it doesn't alarm
the fellows directly affected. Hear what John j.
Mitchell, director of the Texas Oil company, and
president of the Illinois Merchants bank, says:
7"Tf ..--...ng for the market 10 worry
about. Prices climbed today in the face of
the suit. The whole thing looks to me
like political move"
Colonel r. w. Stewart, chairman of the board
of directors of the Standard Oil company of In
diana has this to say:
eve are glad to submit this issue to the courts
and await the decision in this case with full
conviction that they (the gasoline monopoly will
be held proper and just in every respect"
Colonel Stewart does not fear the courts. He re-
members the reversal of the $29,0O0000 fine
against the Standard Oil some years ago. He knows
that judges benches filled with corporation
lawyers to protect corporation interests
Cal Coolidge's little feather duster antitrust
suit is just political move" calculated to coun-
teract Teapot Dome revelations. But it does not
fool the oil interests. Nor does it fool the work
ers and farmers organized under the banner of the
class party formed at st. Paul.

"Good fellows with bottles and lovely ladies

the big arguments in the democratic convention
Well, it must be admitted that such arguments are
more interesting than the century-old oratory and
bunk that is being tossed from the platform.

Not Sufficient Courage.

The Wisconsin socialists, in spite
of Berger, had the courage to declare
for the class labor party. But they
didn't key up their courage to the
point Of demanding affiliation with the
only class political expression in
existence in the countryside organ
ization that came out of the st. Paul
convention.
There is some reason for this hest
tation in the ranks of the socialist
party in Wisconsin.
In demanding that the socialist par
ty be allowed to go along with La
Toilette and his independent candi-
dacy," Berger no doubt held to the
hope that this was the only salvation
for the national socialist party. 1t

be drawn from the last weekend state
convention Of the socialists in Wiscon-
sin.
The Wisconsin socialist convention
voted in principle to support the St.
Paul programmed to be inviegled in
to the LaFollette camp if the Wiscon-
sin senator should choose to run as
an independent" 1t rejected LaFol-
lette as candidate on any but a La
Dor ticket.
But the Wisconsin socialists did not
go the whole route. Victor L. Berger,
the practical leader of American So
cialism, who fought his comrades in
an effort to secure recognition of La
Follette's hopes as an independent,
'confesses that the logical result of
the Wisconsin stand should be affili-
alton with the forces that united at
st. Paul. But they have not yet gone
far. The Wisconsin socialists say that
if LaFollette is not the candidate of
labor party organized at Cleveland,
then the socialist party should put up
a national ticket of it's own.
This means that Wisconsin social
lists recognize that the labor party
must be formed! But rather than ac-
cept any leadership but their own,
they are content to retire into obscuri-
ty, or at least adopt that position
temporarily.
