Profitable Politics

A noteworthy object lesson in American democ-
racy and in capitalist politics can be learned from
one of the points just brought home by the Brook
hart committee investigating the Department OF
Justice
1t has been disclosed that the indictments
brought against the United Gas improvement
Company Of Pennsylvania for violations of the
Sherman Antitrust Act were quashed because of
the corporation having contributed handsomely to
the Republican party campaign funds. The CAPT
talists running the gas company were particular
friends of Daugherty and spent substantial sums
of money on his campaign. Attorney Lewis, who
was originally handling the case, told the COM
mittee that after he had secured indictments
against the corporation in question, certain Mr..
West was chosen to take his place and that this
West "seemed to belittle the and acted as tho
he had been engaged by the United Gas Improve
ment rather than, by the department"
This is certainly profitable politics for the en-
ploying class. The United Gas Improvement Com
pany has it's leading spirit, E. 7. Stotesbury, of
J. P. Morgan & Co. 1t is a hundred million dollar
corporation controlling nearly thirty-ive gas,
electricity, power and railway companies in Penn
slyvania, Minnesota, New Jersey, South Dakota,
Florida and other states. This giant concern is
of the most powerful political forces in Penn
sylvania, being closely tied up with the Mellon
the owner of so large share of the United States
government the latter could not saney be expected
TO prosecute it.
This revelation which bears out once more the
cardinal truth of the Communist viewpoint that
the government is a strikebreaking agency in the
hands of the employing class. To the liberals and
others who are still engaged in a useless attempt
galvanize the capitalist corpse into life the dis
closure will prove a signal for more lamentations
over the system of campaign contributions. These
self-appointed purifiers of all that is putrid in
capitalism would have us believe that the "evil"
can be eradicated by enacting a law preventing
big campaign contributions
How childish! What is the law between Daugh-
erty and Stotesbury? The employing class knows
that the workers must be misnformed, misled, and
blindfoded in order to insure the continuation of
the present system of wage-slavery All of this
costs money. Law or no law, we can leave it to
the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the bosses to
devise ways and means of paying for this insur-
ance of paying for the cost of misleading the
masses.

UngratefuL Cuba

Some of the moulders of public opinion are
growing impatient over the ungratefulness of the
protectorate of Cuba, sometimes called by mistake.
the Republic of Cuba
The little Caribbean country is being painted
in the blacklist of ink woefulIy unappreciatiye of
all that the United States has done towards IFS
economic and political salvation The editorial
illusions on this subject appear to the reader like
columns of ledger with all the assets credited
to the Yankee emperialists and all the liabilities
debited to the Cubans.
For instance, we will find in the liability col
umns OF the Cubans the fact that they have not
worshpped at the feet of General Crowder who
was loaned" to them in order to save the island
from financial ruin President Zayas, who has
shown himself to be puppet in the hands of
wall Street, is now being denounced because he
is not coming across even more submissively as
was expected from him by the Washington agents
after they helped him suppress rebellion against
his administration. The recent fifty million dol
lar loan given to Cuba and the thread-bare, worn
out Illusion about having saved the Cubans from
the clutches of the cruel Spaniards do not seem
to have evoked as much enthusiasm among the
people of the island as our financial solons and
their legislative lackeys desired
These lamentations make it difficult for one to
avoid repeating, in comment, the old adage "Be-
ware OF the Greeks when they bear gifts" Our
capitalist newspapers always omit mentioning the
fact that Crowder was sent to Cuba as an agent
OF the big sugar interests to force the Cuban
sugar producers to set price on their product
suitable to American bankers. Not word is
ever mentioned by these scribes about the dicta-
torlal conduct of General Crowder in Cuba Moth
ing is ever said that it is American influence that
is responsible for Zayas aggravatng his strike
breaking policy against the Cuban workers.
In the recent longshoremen's strike Zayas sent
hundreds of convicts to scab on the workers
Policemen were freely used to break the strike of
Havana carmen. In order to intrench themselves
further In the Caribbean island the American
capitalists are also planning to grab the Isle of
Pines from Cuba.
Yet Cuba is said to be ungrateful Do our
imperalsts propose to deny their victims even
the right to cry out in pain when their oppressors

The American labor movement to-
day stands on the threshold of new
era. The new political party, growing
out of the Farmer-Labor party con-
vention, a true expression of the rank
and file of the movement, will crys-
talize and utilize a power which in the
future is bound to be all-conquering.

Running Away from the Unions

Capitalists established great factories in back
ward China, because there they have great mass
of helpless unorganized labor to exploit, which
means larger profits in spite Of lesser efficiency.
The same factor works in another way where, as
in the garment industry, systematic move
ment of production away from the big cities where
strong unions established into small towns and
villages where the workers are inexperienced.
The latest industry to be hardhit by move of
this kind, in the search for greater profits is
the publishing business. Golfers Weekly has just
announced that it will no longer publish in New
York City, but moves to Springfield Ohio, where
it will be produced in an "open shop" The Nc
Fadden publications. consisting of II magazines
circulating some 100000 copies per month, are
reported moving out into small New Jersey town
for the same purpose. Harper's magazine has moved
to Camden, N. j.. the Williams Printing Co. to
Albany, McCdWs to Dayton, Ohio, and Vanity
Fair, Vogue and House and Garden to Connecti-
cut.
All Of which presents problem to the labor
movement that will demonstrate the bank
ruptcy of the sob trust idea of unionism Nothing
will solve the problem except the widest organi-
zation of the workers in every industry. The only
way to prevent the capitalists from exploiting
backward labor, in the final analysis is to elm
mate backward labor by organizing and educating
1t. When there is no longer any place to run to
without running into the Unions then Labor will
begin to feel bit Of strength.

Captain Walter Elliot formerly an undersecre-
tary in the reactonary Baldwin administration,
has just been elected to parliament from the Kel-
Vingrove constituency in Glasgow.
The results of this conservative victory are of
greater Importance than the outcome of an ordin-
airy English byeelection would tend to indicate at
first sight. The Liberals and Conservatives prac-
ticay united to defeat the candidate of the Labor
Party, Aitken Ferguson. Ceaseless efforts were
put up by the various spokesman of capitalism and
great sums of money spent by them to over
come the labor candidate.
Aitken Ferguson, if press dispatches are correct
is well-known Communist who ran on the Labor
Party ticket. The enemies of the workers saw in
him mortal foe and forgot the differences
amongst themselves to unite to crush him. This
is no surprise But even Mr.. Macdonald did his
bit to help the opponents of the Labor Party sue
coed in defeating its candidate. 1t is customary
for Macdonald to forward a personal letter of
commendation to the various candidates of the
Labor Party during campaigns. In this instance
Macdonald did not do so. Obviously Ferguson
too red for the British premier and the latter
preferred to aid coverty and tacity, of course the
enemies of his own party to score victory.
Between communist or a revolutionary worker
on one side and capitalist coalition on the other
Mr.. Macdonald chose the reactionary-liber al
lance 1t is apparent that Macdonald feared that
the election, on the Labor Party platform, of
communist in so strong an industrial center as
Glasgow might tend to give the Communists too
much prestige and influence especially amongst
the great mass of industrial workers in Scotland
Mr.. Macdonald fears communist influence in the
Labor Party more than he fears victory of the
capitalist groups over the Labor Party because he
knows that such revolutionary influence is bound
to galvanize the Labor Party into a powerful
fighting organization against the present order
The development of such class-conscious poll
teal party of the workers and the consequent turn
the class conflicts would take would naturally wine
the MacDonalds off the map of the fight and put
in their place those who are prepared to wage de-
cisive battles against the employing interests
But Mr.. Macdonald has scored only against
himself in this sabotaging of the Glasgow election
Already the conservatives, elated by their success
are planning to attack the Labor Cabinet on the
housing question. The Liberals will very likely
support them. The black cycle may then be com
pleted.
