Machinists Hit Collaboration

Tt is significant of the growing revolt against
the utilities of W. III. Johnston, with his fake
progressivsm and class collaboration, that the
Machinists' District No 73 convention, covering
the G. NJ & St p Ry system, meeting in Milwaukee,
should overwhelmingly adopt a resolution that
denounces the "B. o." plan in unmeasured terms.
Johnston's scheme for collaboration with the
capitalists inevitably involves him in bit
ter struggle against his own rank and file. In
fact it arose out of such a struggle and was de-
signed to give the officials base of operations,
independent of the membership. Along with the
socalled labor banks, it is calculated to destroy
the ability of the membership to control the union.
1t is the reputation of unonism and of the class
struggle.
But the members of the machinists' union believe
in fighting against the bosses. They cannot be
kdded, in great numbers or for long, by the John
ston-Beyer bunk. When they want a stronger
union thru amalgamation, they will not be put off
with proposals for joint meetings with foremen to
discuss cinder walks. The action of the Milwaukee
convention is but the first registration Of great
protest that is arising thruout the union against
the traitorous sellingout to the companies that
is involved in the "B. & o." plan.

Charles G. "Hell'n Maria" Dawes, is a fit run
ning-mate for strikebreaker Coolidge. His Minute
Men of the Constitution are the picked troops of

of the best, the Central Trust Company of Chicago
being part Of the Morgan system. But above all,
Dawes is the exponent Of the new plan to ''pacify"

Now the only thing necessary to complete the
picture establishing for all time the standard of
100 per cent Americanism in presidential candi-
dates, is for the Democratic convention to nomi-
nate McAdoo and Berry. McAdoo, the financial
expert and representative of Wall Street, Berry,
the Fascist strke-breaker, "labor leader" and
home-guard hero of the world war-it sounds like
the millennium of capitalism.

ride two horses going in two different
directions. Jesus is supposed to have
said: HE that is neither hot nor

just that. The New Majority is not
yet vomited out of labor's mouth, but
it is an undigestible piece of hard tack
in labor's stomach.
Among those who will be glad to
see Mr.. Buck leave the editorial chair
Of the New Majority is the gas pipe
brigade that is not satisfied with the
Fitzpatrick-Nockels reputation of in
dependent working-class political ac-
ton. The official organ of this gang
is the Chicago Labor News, which
cannot be secured on the newstands
or in the bookshops. It is printed for
private circulation and for the bene-
fit of list of business men who an
pear in its columns until they do the
right thing. When they do, their
names no longer decorate its pages.
The gang that runs that paper does
not want Fitzpatrick in the chair as
head of the Chicago Federation of
Labor. What of it IL he went back on
his political principles and returned to
the Gompersian trouble trough? He
is not a member OF the holdup bri.
gade, and this gang cares nothing for
principles. It wants man in the DO
sition of president of the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor who will do business
as the real fellows do II. To hell with
ethics and scruples. They are after

Therefore, the gentle hint is thrown
out that new leader is wanted.
Brown has left for Seattle. Buck is
leaving for Washington. The door is
left invitingly open for Fitzpatrick.

strewn with thorns but that OF the
compromiser and renegade is dotted
with the skins of over-ripe bananas.

AS WE SEE IT
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

E. B. Ault, editor-manager of the
Seattle Union Record, resigned from
his position. He gave as his reasons
for quitting, the apathy of the trade
unions in Seattle and their failure to
support their own paper While his
criticism is no doubt justified-the
,'ttGads 4tilii 1Essent lsader
ship are apathetic and the leaders are
worse-the Seattle Union Record has
disappointed those members of the Ia
Dor movement who are the backbone
of every such venture-the radicals.
The Record slipped rapidly from its
original position as a fighting, class
conscious daily, until today there is
nothing to distinguish it from a capt.
talist paper. Only recently it boosted
of its acquisition of the yellow Hearst
features which that notorious dope
ster and journalistic prostitute injects
into the brain cavities of his readers.
But when it lost the support of the
radicals, it lost the foundation upon
which labor daily could successfully
withstand the attacks of the capitalist
class who look with hate and sus-
picion on even the mildest of labor
dailies.
When Mr.. Ault was in the east re-
Gently he called in at the office of the
DAILY WORKER. On his arrival in
Seattle a news item appeared in the
Record announcing the appearance of
the DAILY WORKER but deprecating
our insistence on playing up only such
news as had some value as an educa-
tional factor to the working class and
ignoring the slush that passes for
news in the capitalist press. But it
may interest Mr.. Ault to know that
even from the circulation point of
view the DAILY WORKER policy is
showing results. It's readers do not
have to wade thru sea of sex per-
version, murders and burglaries in or
7 der to ferret out an item of news re-
lating to their daily struggles and the
movement to advance the cause OF
labor.
The DAILY WORKER manages to
be interesting, instructive and educa-
tional. 1t has the support Of the radi-
Gals and the progressives whose pro-
gressivism is of tho forward kind. II
has the open enmity of the reaction
aries in the trade union movement
and 1t has earned the unplacable ha-
tired of the capitalist class. We are
satisfied. Our readers are satisfied.
Mr.. Ault has had the same experience
the other wise" liberals had-the
Greenwich Village wizards, for in
stance, who outdid the yellow social
lists who ran the New York Call into
the poor house. He has learned that
no labor editor can sink low enough
to satisfy tho capitalists and live an
Independent existence, but in his
downward dive he lost the support OF
the workers. A horrible fate.

How My Wife Has Helped Me"

 trators in the country, is a painter of note and the inventor of the famous Benda mask. Modest and un- assuming, he seemed to be overwhelmed by my question as to how his wife has helped him. I find that a great many men become inarticulate when they try to express appreciation of what their wives have done for them.
 MT. Benda was born in Poland, but came to the United States twenty-five years ago and has been a naturalized citizen for thirteen years. He is de- scended from a family of musicians and actors and actresses. His fathers sister was Helen Modjeska, the great Polish actress. MT. Benda pays the following tribute to his wife:
 q find myself at loss to express myself concerning anything so vitally important to me. It is difficult to sin gle out the many ways she helps me-it it in almost everything I do.

When you find the One Girl you will want her to wear enough / clothes to cover her decently, and you will want her to be gentle and ladylike and sweet and pure and innocent. You don't want her to do million things that you en- couraged other girls to do.
 For you will be thinking of her a. your wife, with your name and honol in her hands, and you will want her tt measure up to the standard that tn, late MT. Caesar set up for good wives
 The final test of love is when you don't care rap whether a girl is pretty or homely or stylish or dowdy or brilliant or ordinary, or whether she comes up to your ideals or breaks them into smith ereens, but you know she just looks good to you. You don't know why you have picked her out, but you have. She's it. There is just something about her that has got you, and when you are with her you are peaceful and happy and satisfied, and you know beyond all peradventure that she is your wo- man.
 And that's the love that lasts.
