That the rank and file of the labor unions are
taking growing interest in the candidacy of Will
liam H. Foster and Benjamin Gitlow, despite the
food of bourgeois propaganda that flows from the
headquarters of LaFolette and his labor bench
men, is demonstrated by the very interesting meet
ing that took place in New York last week under
the auspices of the eastern division of the Trade
Union Educational League.
1t was meeting of unofficial representatives of
several unions located in New York The officials
of most of the unions represented had already
pledged their organizations to the LaFoette per-
sonal campaign for the presidency, but evidently
they spoke very much for themselves, no doubt be-
ing of the opinion that the rank and file had no
thoughts worthy of consideration
The New York meeting, however, proves that
rank and file members, despite the heavy pressure
brought to bear on them by the traitorous leaders
who deserted the standard of independent work
ing class political action for the banner of the bour
geois LaFollette, have not only decided to remain
true to their principles but have also decided to
back up those principles with action. And as money
makes the mare go, money also supplies political
campaigns with the sinews of war. Money talks.
So the meeting of New York trade union militants
pledges 81 700 to the Foster-G itlow campaign fund
Each industrial group pledged certain amount
of this total Funds will be collected in the shops
and those who are Disguised with the action of
their leaders in deserving the class struggle on the
political field will have the opportunity of support
ing the only ticket that stands for the abolition of
capitalism and the establishment of Workers
and Farmers government--the Workers Party.
The action of the New York comrades deserves
the honor of emulation by left wing trade unonists
in other cities.

Communist Mobilization

A leading oracle of big business is now circular
zing the biggest employers of the country with
statement that the election outlook sums itself up
in: Coolidge or an election by the House." This
agency of big business has reputation for accur-
acy and nearaccuracy in it's financial and political
estimates.
Under these circumstances, it becomes increas
ing important that the working men and poor
farmers should mobilize their maximum forces
for concerted action of defense and ofense against
the plans of aggression now being laid by the en-
ploying class. Today there is only way in which
working class mobilization can be achieved most
effectively In this campaign effective working
class mobilization translate itself only into
Communist mobilization.
In survey made by the Magazine of Wall Street,
regarding the opinions of 'leading citizens as to
the business policies in other words as to the at
tudes of the three candidates of capitalism towards
the present system, learn that ''the leaders of
each of the three parties alive to the needs of
business, however much their methods may differ"
In this symposium it is especially interesting to
note that William Fl. tombstone who boasts of be-
ling director in one of the largest commercial
banks and supervising extensive real estate and
other investments, proudly declares that 'LaFol-
lettes election would make for better business"
Better business means higher profits. Higher
profits under the present domestic and interna-
tonal economic conditions, come only with
lower wages. Lower wages with the present tenn
per and mood of the working masses in the United
States, can come only thru the employing class
waging a fierce offensive against the workers thru
out the country. This means declaration of war
upon the workers. organizations and the slight
gains won by the workingmen in the last short
lived prosperity squirt. This means that the work
ingmen must mobilize themselves as a class in
self-defense.
No doubt the election of Coolidge would be a
sgnal-for renewed and redoubled vigorous often
sve against the organizations of the workers and
poor farmers. There is every likelihood that if the
election should prove a stalemate deadlock at
the ballot box, that the reactonary forces dominat
ing all the capitalist organizations would unite
for "safe and sane" ticket. Such union would
equally be signal for an attack on the working
class. In these circumstances it would be the ad-
vanced guard of the workers. the Communists, who
would be chosen for the first assault, which would
be only prelude to general attack on the work
ing class. What better reason could the workers
and farmers want for rallying to the support of
the Workers Party and its Communist program
and candidates in the campaign?

"The Great Silent Vote"

Returning from his first western trip, the demo
cratic standard bearer John w. Davis, tells the
world that he is surely going to get the great
silent vote and the presidency.
1t is customary for all capitalist presidential
candidates to declare themselves elected before the
balloting day has arrived Mr. Davis will certainly
have to make many declarations in order to keep
up his near-fghting spirit. This boast of Davis
reminds one of the school boy whistling to keep
up courage.
Everyone knows that if it were not for the solid
tier of southern states the democratic party would
be off the political map. Many cautious observers
who have had the opportunity to look into the
prevailing political situation contend that Mr..
b. Parker in the days of Roosevelt No super
Davis will make an even poorer run than did Alton
abundance of loose talk about graft and corrup-
ton, no obviously artificial attempt to talk of com.
mon honesty, can help Mr.. Davis. The difference
between Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Coolidge insofar the
fundamental principles involved in the present
campaign are concerned is the difference between
pitch black and very black
The only possible chance of victory for Mr.. Davis
lies in a union of the darkest forces Of the demo.
cratic and republican camps in the event of the
election being thrown into congress. Even under
these conditions, the hope Of Davis lies in pos.
sible conjecture. AT any rate, it is only over.
worked imagination that can lead one to believe
that the democratic party stands chance in the
present election campaign.
We do admit, however, that large portion, an
altogether too large portion, of the Davis vote will
be silent vote. Under conditions in which the
jobs of the workers are owned, to a large extent,
by the supporters Of Mr.. Davis, at time when the
press and the schools and the countless organs Of
msinformaton are controlled by the hackers of
Mr.. Davis. it is inevitable that many popular votes
will be cast for the same Davis without really in.

the mines with militia sent at his call
by the state governors. President
Wilson used the courts, injunctions
and soldiers against the miners and
steel workers in the great strikes of
1919. President Roosevelt threatened
the anthracite miners with the iron
fist Of the government. President
Cleveland sent federal soldiers to
break the Pullman strike.
What has been true of the national
government is equally true Of the
state and local government All are
part of the capitalist Dictatorship
which keeps the workers under the
heel OF the capitalist bosses.
In every great struggle between the
workers and the capitalists, whether
the republican or democratic party
has been in power, the government
has been on the side of the capital
lists and against the workers.
Grabbing Profits for the Capitalists.
The capitalists do not only use the
government to put down the workers
when they fight for a higher standard
of living. They also use it directly
to secure greater profits for them
selves.
The whole history of the govern.
ment of the United States is one
story Of graft and corruption. Land
steals, railroad land grant steals, for.
est and timber steals, oil steals, these
are written upon almost every page
of the history of this country. The
graft and corruption exposed in the
Teapot Dome investigation is only
the most recent example Of the way
the capitalists use the government to
enrich themselves by footing the ma
ton.
This direct looting of the natural
resources of the country is not the
only way in which the capitalists
use the government to secure the bill
lions upon which the workers pay
them tribute. Tariff laws, banking
laws, shipping laws, tax laws are all
so framed by the capitalist dictator
ship as to help the capitalists add to
their enormous fortunes at the ex-
pense of the workers.

Party Issues Statement
Against Capitalist Dictatorship

private ownership Of industry exists
So long as the capitalists have in
their grip the tremendous economic
power which their ownership and con-
troll Of the machinery of production
gives them, they will control the gov
eminent and maintain their dictator
ship, whether Coolidge, Davis or
LaFollette is in power.
Coolidge and Davis are the candi-
dates Of the parties which have
maintained the capitalist dictatorship
in the past. LaFollette, while he de-
nounces the control of the govern
ment by the privileged class. is a
supporter Of the capitalist system of
private ownership Of industry and OPP
Grafton of profit. He supports the
the system which gives the capitalists
the power to enforce their dictator
ship and in supporting and unfolding
the economic system which makes
the capitalist dictatorship possible he
is supporting and unfolding that die
tatorship.
Fighting the Capitalist Dictatorship.
There is only one way in which the
capitalist dictatorship which is crush
ing down the workers and robbing
them of the right to enjoy the product
Of their work can be fought. The
workers must organize as a class to
fight against capitalist ownership of
industry and for workers ownership
and control.
The capitalist dictatorship ex-
presses the class interests of the
capitalists. The capitalists are able
to beat the workers into submission
because the workers do not fight as a
class, do not unite their power on
the basis of their economic interests
and unitedly fight the capitalist rule
The capitalists have common inter-
ests. They want to maintain their
ownership of industry and to compel
the workers to accept the lowest
wages and worst working conditions,
so that the capitalist profits will grow
and they can live in luxury and splen-
dor and increase their swollen for
tunes.
The workers have common interests,
too. They want more wages, shorter
hours, better working conditions, a
higher standard of life. They can Sc
cure these only at the expense of the
