clumsily put over as the regular DEM
ocratic party retreat, but, the more
skillfully Unanswered, is is neverthe-
less as complete a betrayal of the in
terests of the masses as is the
treacherous conduct of the Washes,
McKellars, and other democratic
whips and dark horses.
This sudden dimning an
cowardly action of the insurgent
stars and democratic satellites in the
Capitol should not surprise any work
err or farmer. 1t should not even dis
gust any genuine progressive any real
class enemy of the employers. This
half-hearted wavering policy of the
so-called progressives only adds
further proof to the Communist con-
tention that, regardless Of what kid
ney or ilk he be, every capitalist poll
tician must sooner, rather than later
betray the working and farming class.
The only point Of distinction between
the various schools of employing class
politics is the degree of soonness with
which they play the game of the big
gest interests openly, one hundred
per cent, and sabotage the needs and
demands of the laboring masses.
The Lesson.
The way in which the sundry in
vestigations are now being liquidated,
drowned and sunk to the very bottom
of the troubled political seas, by all
shades of capitalist political panhand-
lers teaches the working and farming
masses of the United States at least
one worth while lesson. Out of the
hasty retreat that the democrats are
beating from the field of struggle and
out of the weakened, feint effort
that the progressives are making in
exposing the plunderers of the coun-
try's natural resources and the strike
breakers and union-smashers. There
arises more painfully clear than ever
the unquestionable urgent need for
the organization of the workers and
poor farmers into a national class
farmer-labor party separate and dis
tinct from the two old parties Of capt.
talism and the plague of hybrid capt.

Bell, who had studied the case, was
dismissed. Peck was asked for his
resignation. Sen. Harreld forced
Daugherty to re-employ him as a
special prosecutor when the case
finally approached trial On the
criminal indictments the three chief
crooks pleaded guilty when prom
ised that they would merely be
fined; the federal judge saying that
civil suits would restore the land to
the Indians. On that assumption
he made the fines very light.
Daugherty has never prosecuted
the civil cases. The Millers still

dollars in store goods.

Stone Partner Of MOTgan'S
BTOthar-In-LG#
az nc Fsdsrated Prss..l

WASHING ON, April D.
The firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co. is now intrenched in the
u. S. Department of Justice.
Thru the appointment by Presi-
dent Coolidge of Harlan Fiske
Stone to succeed Attorney Cen
eral Harry M. Daugherty who
was run out of office by the
senate, Wall Street has in
stalled a principal lieutenant
instead of a canpfollower in
this strategic Office.
Does Morgan's Dirty Work.
Stone has been universally
described by the press as dean
of the Columbia university law
school. His more important Of
flee is law partner of J. p.
Morgan's brother-in-law, Her
bert Livingston Satterlee. Sat
terlee has done a great deal of
the higher-up dirty work for
the Morgan firm. He married
the old J. Pierpont Morgan's
daughter, Louisa, "a years ago.
The Wall Street law firm is
known as Satterlee, Garfield &
Stone. Stones law practice
amounts to over S125.000 q
year.
Stones war service consisted
principally in sitting on Secretary
Newton d. Bakers board of inquiry
into the war DIRECTORS who were
held under more or less terrible
conditions in the various camps.
With Judge Julian W. Mack and
Major Richard c. Stoddard. Stone
had the DIRECTORS appear before
him and decided whether they were
to be given objector status or or
dered into the ranks to be court
martialed.
'Trritated" by Directors.
He is described in Norman
Thomas book, "The Conscientious
Director In America" as expressing
"little but irritation" for the college
pacifsts. A victim of his board de-
cisions is quoted in the same book
as saying of him II believe his
questions were more insinuating
and less direct than those of Judge
Mack" He became especially irri-
table when former Columbia law
students of his appeared before him
as DIRECTORS. In such cases Stone
would urge that objectoring was in
bad taste and would reflect on the
college.
His Morgan affiliations are not
expected 20 whet his desire to I'M
cover the root Of government cor
ruption.
