Where Unity Is Weakness

The condition of the mill workers of New Eng
land is deplorable. In a recent address, Fall
River mill agent offered the consolation that the
present depression was not confined to the cotton
business but prevailed thruOut the United States.
de did not tell the workers that the mill owners
we're getting along very nicely, eating, drinking
and making merry and were not worrying partc-
ularly about the temporary lull in their profit
making pastime. Not so the wage slaves who pro-
duced the profits that enables the bosses to take
trips around the world when their mills are not
busy.
Calvin Coolidge, in a radio election address, put
out the slogan: 'Vote the republican ticket and
maintain the present prosperity" The mill workers
of New England are wondering what Silent Cal
WINS conception of depression would look like.
They certainly don't want any more of the kind
they have now Calvin's campaign manager is the
owner of some Of the biggest mills in New England.
Monsignor Cassidy of Fall River, in a speech
on the economic situation in the textile industry,
offered as solution of the unemployment problem,
cooperation and unity between workers and EN-
ployers. That is Samuel Gompers plan. 1t is the
plan now generally endorsed by the officials of the
American Federation of Labor. The trouble with
that plan is that it is the cause of the workers.
poverty 1t has been in operation since the dawn of
the capitalist system. The workers are united with
the capitalists in creating wealth, but the capital
lists grab most of it, leaving the workers barely
enough to exist on.
That kind of unity is not what the workers need.
They need unity among themselves against the cap
italists. They need the kind that the capitalists
the clergy, and the labor takers are opposed to.
They need the kind the Communists advocate
unity of the workers organized as class to fight
against capitalism for better conditions of life
and for the ultimate overthrow of the capitalist
system and the establishment of workers and
farmers government, which means the rule of the
workers thru the dictatorship of the proIetariat.
Only then will prosperity mean more of the
good things of life for the workers Only then will
exploitation end.

Eminently Logical

At the sinfOrmal" luncheon rendered President
elect Gales of Mexico by the most prominent
spokesman of American business interests, the
workers of the United States and Mexico were ac-
corded historical treat
Mr.. Gales was dined and wined by the New
York State Chamber of Commerce. Judge Ebert
H. Gary, the open-shopper L. F. Loree Otto H.
Kahn, and Thomas w Lamont of j. p. Morgan &
Co., were amongst the chosen guests General
Gales assured the industrialists, merchants and
capitalists that Mexico will give them "the most
ample guarantees" He denied the rumors circu-
lated about him "as a man unfriendly to capital
and as one who will carry with him that attitude
and transmit it to the citizenry of Mexico to the
detriment of foreign interests"
The message delivered by the new president of
Mexico was heartily welcomed by the rulers of
American capitalism. A particularly sympathetic
chord was struck by Gales at this banquet when
he declared: "My program is eminentIy construc-
tive and eminently logical" The captains of Am
erican finance and industry rejoiced at this con
fession. In fact, Mr. Frederick H. Ecker, presi-
dent of the New York State Chamber of Commerce
|complimented the presidentelect by calling him
zone of the outstanding men of the world"
"Eminently logicalw Yes, it has been the ex-
perience of the working class of every country with
this type of socialpatriot First of ALL the Gales
type of "labor champion" rides into power on the
backs of the masses. Next, the Gales leadership
turns to mouthing the meaningless phrases of the
hypocritical socialdemocracy. 1t becomes semi
nently logical for Gales and his stripe to take
further step and openly serve the interests of the
exploiters. There is no contradiction, but only
eminent logic in Mr. Gales being Toasted one day
by the bankrupt social-democrats of New York and
the next day by the Millionaire bankers and manu-
|facturers.
We feel certain that the working masses of
Mexico will not discard an ounce of vigilance. II
ever it was necessary for the exploited farmers and
oppressed Mexican workers to be guard, it is
riply necessary now with the ascendancy of Gen
eral Gales To the presidency Of the republic.

On With the Fight, Workers!

When the shouting has died away and the lights
are turned out and it is discovered that reaction
airy imperialst capitalism has won the election in
these United States, there is going to be as many
broken hearts among those who make sentimental
pie serve in place of revolutionary principles, as
there was in the romantic ditty, "After the Ball.
We can provision the punctured hopes OF many
a petty bourgeois, socialist and capitalist inditfer

hoarse as he marched forward to 1875. We
Communists are not concerned with them or their
puerile sobbings. We have not been overly Opt
mistic of electing Bill Foster and we need no balm,
bandages or consolation.
Communists take part in election campaigns
primarily to engage the attention of the workers
while their political consciousness is aroused,
and to show them that only by proletarian revolu-
ton can their particular class interests be ad-
vanced or even protected.
That we have reached hundreds of thousands
who have heard our program for the first time, is
more important than that seats may be obtained
in a capitalist parliament. Attic that would help
Ms reach some more. That we hove immensely
strengthened our party and aided in clarifying the
minds of tens of thousands and brought thousands
of them into our party is success in the election
Independent of votes cast for our candidates.
1t is a ockbottom principle of the Communist
international that the parliamentary end of the
political struggle shall be auxiliary to the political
struggle for power outside of parliament Our
Communist struggle for power in the industries
has not slackened, been neglected or forgotten one
moment just because Of an election campaign The
labor takers and bosses know that.
We mention this because, when the detected and
disappointed workers-the others do not concern
us-return from 1776 with liberty bell not only
cracked but busted, we have program for mill
tant struggle against the employing class. We the
Communists, have the only program Of struggle
for immediate as well as ultimate demands.
To the workers we offer the program of forming
fighting shop committees, STRENGTHENING the unions
by amalgamation, using these and other organs to
fight against wage cuts, longer hours and the open
shop. We-the Communists-have the only pro
gram for relieving unemployment, the only pro
gram for stopping capitalist wars, the only pro-
gram for emancipation of the working class. And
on the morning after election day, we, the Com
munists invite all workers into party for revo-
utionary struggle against the power of capital.

Where the Ku Klux Khan and the
peon farm landowners rule over a sub
ject black race the plot of'this story is
laid. The description of Central City,
Ca, would apply to score of other
cotton belt towns.
The story begins with the return Of
a brilliant young Negro doctor to the
south after nine years training in
northern medical colleges, at the front
and in Paris. He returns, full of ideal
ism and the ambition to found hos
pital for the members of his race. He
did not realize how the south had
changed since tho war and thot his
old father had been right when he
used to advise him that only bad Ne

ning. The story ends with the doc.
tors lynching.
1t is stark tragedy. The author,
himself Negro, offers no obvious sol.
ution for the race conflict. But thru
the pages Of The Fire in the Flint one
sees race rising to the light out Of
squalor ignorance and suppression.
And one gets the point Of view OF the
young doctor who would rather be-

the publishing department Of the All
Russian Central Executive Committee
and the literature department Of the
Education Commissariat. At that
time the civil war was still raging on
many fronts, and consequently the
literature first issued by it was mainly

to promote the publication of scien-

With the cessation of the civil war
and the introduction of the new eco
nomic policy, the Cosisdat extended
its work very considerably. and at the
present time it's output is ten timos
as great as it had been before 1891.
Whilst other publishing agencies issue
mainly their own special literature,
tho Gosisdat's publications are OF q
universal character, and allho. on the
