"LaFollefte's Fool Friends"

Circulars are going out from "LaFollette for
President Committee" headquarters, Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago. This committee must have, at
least encouragement from LaFolette, containing
as it does the name of Donald Richberg, attorney
for the railroad shop-craft unions. But if LaFol-
ette or his fool friends were deliberately trying
to slap the Farmer-Labor Party movement in the
face they could not have done better job in pick
ing this committee. s~
The committee has not single worker, town or
country, on it. Two manufacturers, two lawyers,
a merchant, an author, publisher and banker
these are the men in charge of LaFollette's pre-
convention campaign. Is this the kind of com
mittee to represent the exploited masses Of work
ers and farmers in revolt against the domination
of capital? A more completely middleclass com
mittee could hardly be imagined There is not the
slightest trace of working class influence upon it,
outside of the tenuous one Of hired lawyer in
the service of the unions.
1t was middleclass newspaper that not long
ago, deplored the activity of 'LaFollette's fool
friends" But if LaFollette really means to break
with the old capitalist parties-which seems less
likely every day-it is certainly a bunch of "fool
friends" that could imagine launching a campaign
committee for him that contains not single labor
man in the whole list. Is LaFolette Intentionally
ignoring the whole Farmer Labor Party move
ment?

Burns. Manufacturer Of Plots

Admission by John w. H. Grim, former chief
assistant to Daugherty before the Wheeler-Brook-
hart committee that the 'red plots" blazoned
forth at intervals during the last several years by
William j. Burns were all fakes, merely puts the
official confirmation upon common knowledge I'm
all the red agitation" said Grim, "They never
brought me any evidence"
How comes it that, at this late hour, the fraud
and persecution by Burns against the labor and
revolutionary movements is officially disclosed lis
it because the Investigators wish to protect the
workers? That would be nice, if it were true
But as the facts appear, are forced to conclude
that the honorable senators have exposed Burns
outrages against the "reds" only because Burns
has been also framing up some of them. They
need to discredit Burns to their own skins.
All Of which is grist of the mill of revolu-
tionary workers. We can have no objection to
the quarreling groups Of exploiters showing up
one another in their true colors. 1t is reminis
cent of John L. Lewis and Frank Harrington, and
their little correspondence of couple years ago.
When thieves fall out it is said on good author
ity, the workers get look at the real face of
their rulers. When the class Farmer-Labor Party
begins to make a real bid for power, we will doubt
less see Daugherty and all his angels lined up in
solidarity with most of those who are now busy
exposing the frame-up machinery Until that
time let hope that the exposures will continue.

class party of the toiling masses, real Farmer
Labor Party that will cut thru all the hesitation
muddleheadedness, cowardice and reaction that
characterizes all the old-ine politicians that will
break once and for all with every capitalist infu
ence, that will put forward cIear-cut working
class program-such call will go far to smash
the rotten and crumbling structure of the old
parties, insofar as they still control the workers
and farmers, and lay the foundation for real relief
to the suffering agrculturalists well as to the
aboring masses in the industries. June 18th at
st. Paul, there will be the great opportunity to
humanely end the mental distress of the reaction
airy politicians by telling them-to the devil with

StrikebreakerS ALL!

Time and again the Communists have told the
workers and poor farmers that the United States
government is today strikebreaking agency from
the top down and the bottom up. We have made
this charge, not on the basis of own fancies,
but solely on the basis OF the cruel everyday ex-
periences of the working masses with the various
government departments. As we go on, the evil
dence supporting view Of the present political
machinery of the employing class piles up noun
tain high.
Only the other day, after almost five years of
secrecy it was disclosed that the United States
Shipping Board has been playing the role of tire
less strikebreaker. At the congressional hearings
on the operations of the Shipping Board, Special
Department of justice Agent Thomas f. Rice adj
mitted that this government bureau was actively
engaged in helping the Steamship Owners Asso-

of prosecuting the association violating the Sher
man Antitrust Law, the same government, thru
its shipping board, was spending about $15O0OO
in defraying the expenses of the employment
bureaus set up by the bosses break the longshore
mems strike.
The present policy of the shipping board is to
maintain the open shop. The board continues
this closed shop policy against all union men and
still stands for the upkeep of these private employ
ment bureaus which blacklist union members.
Practically speaking, there is no exception to
the rule that in the hands of the employing class
every agency of the present government, every
department, every official from the president down.
is a strikebreaking weapon used to beat back the
working and farming masses and to support the
exploiting class When the miners struck in 1922
the shipping board did its level best to fit out
ships which would facilitate the importation of
coal from England in order to cripple the effective
ness of the strike. When the coal diggers talked
strike last year the same shipping board proudly
boosted that it would do its bit in repeating the
strikebreaking activities of the preceding year
This incident should serve to dsilluson many
workers who were still bIindly cropping for aid
and comfort at the hands of the government, the
general staff of their enemy-the capitalist class

Lewis at His Worst
This is one of the worst pieces of
treachery that Lewis has yet been
guilty Of. And it is typical of the
complete degeneration that is coming
upon our trade union leaders"
Lewis seeks to exterminate the radi-
Gals from the organization, both To-
cally and nationally, so that he can
consummate employers" agreements
that strip the organization of it's mill
fancy and the better working condi-
lions it has striyen for, and makes
of it a cooperating instrument in the
service of the coal operators for
greater efficiency of their" workers
competing with the non-union fields.
That is the real goal of Lewis and his
kind to make of their" organizations
more efficient mediums for the ex-
ploitation of the workers than the
present Company unions" which
have. sprung up in some Of Americas
giant industries.
canker Of Employers Agreements.
The canker of employers agree
ments,' has for many years poisoned
the labor unions notably in the build
ing trades. But today this malignant
growth is spreading to the rest OF the
small proportion of the organized in
dustries. And the poison of such
agreements is now being used against
the workers. The radicals and mill
tants who built the unions are now
often Disseminated against thru ex-
pulsion and loss of their pobs thru
some closed shop clause in an agree
ment, that the workers never could
realize would be SO used against
them.
Like the Lands Award.
The Lands Award in the building
trades, the B. and o. agreement on
the railroads, the Brockton agree
ment in the shoe industry, are but
few of the whole series of employ
ers' agreement that have led up to
that last betrayal of real trade union
ism, just contaminated by John L.
Lewis.
In his persecution Of the militants
and desire to cooperate with the en-
ployers to the detriment of the rank
and file, Lewis first removed Howat,

Why Alex Howat Is Popular

Mr.. Jenkins, the head of the com.
pany. Said Howat to Jenkins:
THAT mine was down six months
last year; now it is down again, and
our people get hungry in summer as
well as in winter, and must have
work. :. (. We insist that all the
mines owned by your company work
at least part time so as to give an
equal share of the work to all.
Jenkins replied: Il want you to
understand, Howat, that we own
these mines, and we don't propose to
let you dictate to us when we shall
open them up or shut them down.
We cannot look out for the
miners; they must look out for
themselves, and stick together thru
out Kansas"
Strike Was Howats Answer.
Howat and the Executive Board re-
turned to Pittsburgh and called $500
miners employed by the Missouri
Pacific, out on a strike that lasted
two months and ended by the com
pany agreeing to open up all their
mines, including the one in. dispute.
Since that time and until Howat was
deposed by Lewis, no company has
dared to shut down mine with the
purpose of terrorizing the workers or
the radicals amongst them.
Today in District IA, of Kansas
there are 10000 miners, barely 1900
of whom are at work-in spite of the
fact that Lewis signed an agreement
a few weeks ago which was supposed
to put them all back to work.
An UnbIushing Traitor.
District IA went on strike April
LIST. Three weeks ago John L. Lewis
came to Kansas city to make an
agreement with the operators. After
having been closeted with the repre-
sentatives of the operators for some
time, Lewis appeared before the min
ers' wage conference. 1t is reported
that he informed them that he
hadn't given anything away, and that,

ence into accepting the three-year

president of the miners union and

whose organizing campaign" in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, under the direo
ton of Lewis, has been a miserable
failure. And White, thru the infim
ence Of his friend, Lewis, has been ap
pointed Arbitrator in the Kansaa
district for the three-year period Of
the agreement" at fat salary.
This is the same White who said IL
former years, when speaking of arbi
tration: 1T puts too much power il
the hands Of one man." And now he
has the power that goes with starving
men into submission, to weed out the
rebels in the Kansas fields, and ia
force upon the remaining miners con
ditions equaIed only in the non-union
fields which he so recently failed ia
organize-while drawing a salary
from the miners union of $4,000 pei
year and an expense account in pro
portion.
Howat Strapped Industrial Court.
Is it any wonder that Alex Howat
is the most popular man in the min
ers' union. on the basis of his record
in the Kansas field? Howat fought
to protect the working conditions OF
the miners, and with the aid of the
militant union men-the kind whom
Lewis afterwards expelled built an
organization that the entire power Of
the state failed to crush. This at
tempt, made thru the Allen Industrial
Court Law, was not successful be
cause Howat, Dorchy and the Others
on the District Board had the CUTS ia
defy the law and go to jail and suffer
persecution. And that law is now 3
dead letter-not alone in Kansas, but
nationally. The originator of this law.
former Governor Allen, is on the DO
litical scrap-heap.

When the power of the state failed
to crush the miners union or Howat

camp, White, with an effort to tie uu

ers- are still out of work. And ii
there is still a union in existence in
Kansas at the end of three years, il
will be in spite of the efforts Of Lewis
and because of the confidence of the
rank and file in the honest ightins
character of Alex Howat.
