The French government honOred the great
master of letters with ceremonies such usually
accompany the passing of great political leaders.
But there was very little in common between
Anatole France and the bourgeois government that
paid homage to the greatest figure in modern
French literature.
Anatole France was Communist, tho the
enemies Of Communism will use every means at
their disposal for suppressing that fact. He openly
took the side of the working class and gloried in
the great Russian revolution.
His writings were translated into many Ian
gl!ages and he was one of those hon0red by having
his books placed on the Index Expurgatorius by
the Vatican the headquarters of world supersti
ton and intellectual darkness.
Shortly before his death it was reported that
: natole France recanted his atheistic views and
urned to the fold of the Roman Catholic church
5 was a lie made out of the whole cloth. France
retained his consciousness until very the end
and the black-robed agents of hell fire and damna-
III were not able to take advantage of his dying
l. ,ments TO cram their hokum down his throat.
Three hundred thousand people attended the
brrial service of Anatole France But many mil
l. ~ all over the world honor him for his work,
AMI future generations will profit by his writings
when the efforts of the literary lackeys of capital
ism will be buried in the ash heap of history.

The Carpenters Convention

The first important appeal came
from Fred w. Burgess of Philadelphia,
who was suspended from the broth
erhood because he endorsed the Phila-
delphia Labor Defense Council and his
name appeared on its stationery.
His case was lost on technical con-
stitutional point which did not exist
or at the best, was very doubtful. He
did not even get chance to argue
on the merits of his case.
This angered the delegates.
The next appeal a constitutional
question dealing with the right of To-
cal unions to have power over sick
donations, was undoubtedly upheld by
yes and no vote, but Hutchinson
declared it lost, and further division
by a show of hands was refused. This
angered the delegates still more. Their
protest came in full fury on the next
case, which was an appeal dealing
with the repeal of the old age home
clause.
Ends in Uproar.
Delegate Mulcahy, who pleaded the
case few moments, was interrupted
by delegate who said he was out
of ORDER. and Hutchinson ruled ac-
cordingly.
Mulcahy refused to sit down and
insisted on his right to appeal. He
was then expelled from the conven-
ton by Hutchinson.
Cries of "Boo," GEAR" Lets go
home and leave him rule the empty
chairs" were heard thruout the hall
During the turmoil, the president de-
clared the convention over.
From the acts of the convention,
one is justified in saying that the Off
Gals are more reactionary than ever
before, but the rebellion of the mass
of delegates was also greater than
ever, and this at time when the car
penters were enjoying the greatest
prosperity in history.
A number of old delegates who have
attended many conventions and are
members of the union nearly 40 years,
said, THAT never did they see a more
reactionary convention, but never was
there such an opposition and such a
fight for progressive measures"
The Opposition.
In this fight there were two distinct
opposition groups. The larger group
did not base itself on the class strug-
gle and had no fundamental issues.
1t divided into fractions, each fighting
for its own particular issue.
Mulcahy, leader of the Rhode Is
land faction, fought for the repeal Of
the old age home clause. Burgess, of
Philadelphia, for more democracy. The
New York group, led by Tom Ryan,
conferred their fight on certain mea-
sures which would take the power

tions for general officers, which were
held on the fourth day of the con-
vention, Hutchinson began to allow
a little freedom of discussion.
His machine, by this time, was well
fortified. The constitution gives the
general president the right to appoint
the committee on rules. It in turn
gave Hutchinson the right to appoint
all other committees. Each commit
teeman got paid from $40 to $25 per
day for his services" He appointed
over 100 committeeman.
Left wing work was extremely diff
ficult. An amalgamation resolution
was ruled out of order; advocating a
labor party was partisan politics."
hence out Of order.
Progressive Proposals Killed.
All progressive measures were kill
ed by the machine.
The recall amendment, biennial
conventions instead of quadrennial,
election of organizers by referendum
vote instead Of by appointment, gen.
eral executive board to be elected by
the district the members represent in
stead of by the entire country, cleo
ton of all district council officers by
referendum vote, election Of the
committee on rules by the delegates,
the right of the president to expel or
suspend to be abolished, resolution ia
voring organizing the unorganized, job
control, utilization with the building
trades council, condemnation of Hy-
Ian for compelling men to work I'M
der unfair conditions, all these mea-
sures were crushed by the reactionary
steamroller and in their place many
reactionary measures were passed.
Even the American Federation of
Labor is too radical for Hutchinson.
A resolution endorsing the A. F. of
L. political policy was ruled out of or
der as partisan politics. and reso-
luton endorsing the workers educa-
ton bureau Of the A. F. of L. was
voted down because Secretary Duffy
said the names of the workers edu-
cation bureau and the Trade Union
Educational League were too much
alike and would confuse the members
so that they wouldn't know which is
which.
The only progressive thing that was
passed was the endorsement of the
five-day week. This was evidently
done as a sop, even the reactionaries
speaking for it.
Revolt Comes at Last.
AS the convention developed, oppo-
sition to the machine grew stronger
and stronger. A revolt was coming
and it broke out in the last day of
the convention during the report of
the committee on appeals and griev-
ances.

he shot and killed the union miners-will mourn
for him in his present predicament. AS a rule
filthy human vermin of the Chain type are not
held in high esteem by their paymasters. When
they have outlived their usefulness they given
the cold shoulder.
The chief gunman of Logan county is no novice
at violating the law and Judge George McClintc
is well aware of that fact. But Don Chain made
the mistake of thinking that because he got away
with the murder of union mine organizers and
striking coal diggers that the protective of
the scab coal operators would save him from the
attacks of the prohibition sleuths
And perhaps this assumption would be correct
but for the fact that the coal operators apparently
have no longer any for Don Chain. John L.
Lewis is too busy trying to send Calvin Coolidge
back to the White House to bother about organ
izing the slaves Of Logan county The old officers
of the West Virginia Coal Miners Union have
quit and the coal operators of the Logan industrial
battlefield are longer faced with the dreaded
enemy in the form of the union.
Don Chain was a necessary evil to the coal
barons in time of stress. When shooting is to be
done, it is handy to have professional murderer
around But in times of peace even a scab coal
operator is particular about the kind of human
animal he is compelled to associate with.
Don Chain is sentenced to serve two years
in Atlanta. The coal miners will find some con-
ISOLATION in that. But it is not cheering to know
that the coal operators no longer have need for
Don Chain. If they had the gates of Atlanta
would open for him.

away from the New York district
council and make it more democratic.
The constitution is so reactionary that
Halckett and his bunch in New York
rule as if over an absolute monarchy
and it is almost impossible to get rid
of them.
All Of these groups, however, agreed
that they must get rid of Hutchinson
and their candidate is Willis X.
Brown, who did not open his mouth
during the entire convention.
The Real Left Wing.
The smaller group was led by Ro-
sen Of New York. This group cen
tered its fight around measures that
would strengthen the union and the
class power of the workers and every
step that led in that direction was
fought for. Such resolutions as afili-
alton with the building trades depart
ment, joint drive to organize the I'M
organized, and development of Job
control, we're introduced by this
group Their candidate for general
president is Morris Rosen of New
York.
About twenty-five more militant
delegates in addition to those present
would have swung the entire opposi-
ton around Rosen, and the power of
the reactionaries would have been
challenged in no uncertain manner.
Organization of MiIitants Needed.
The opposition is now big enough
to smash Hutchenson's machine, but it
lacks aggressive leadership, and the
necessary organization. This opposi-
ton will increase tenfold with the end
Of the building boom and will steer in
to reformistic channels unless the
militants become real active, take the
lead in the fight, and steer it in the
direction of the class struggle.
The amendments passed by the con,
vention will be submitted for refer
endum vote. Only one of them should
receive our support, the flve-day
week. Nearly all the rest are reac.
tionary and should be voted down.

When William Randolph Hearst wanted war
with Spain he sent one of his best reporters to
Cuba, with instructions to send every bit of news
that would serve to the fighting spirit of the
American cannon fodder against the Spanish
enemy" The correspondent was ordered to serve
atrocities up so they could be devOured with relish
in the United States
Enemies" in those days had not yet learned
the art of cutting the arms off babies, raiding
vents and such other refnements of the art of
civilized warfare, later on conceived in the foul
brains of the journalistic perverts of capitalism
during the late world war.
Hearst evidently did not make a chronological
examination of his correspondent He was keen
disappointment. He turned out to be painfully
honest Shortly after his arrival in Cuba he wrote
back saying that he found no atrocities. He did
not even see big husky Spaniard steal candy
from kid. There no sign of preparations for
war with the United States. His assignment was
a waste of money, he wrote, and suggested that
he be allowed to return to the United States.
Hearst wired back: ''You provide the news; We'll
provide the war" He did.
Today Hearst is very busy trying to hasten the
inevitable war between the capitalists of the
United States and those of Japan. But the cap
tialists will fight by proxy. The actual fighting
will be done by the American and Japanese work
ers and by the workers of the world. A war be-
tween America and Japan would not be private
affair The other capitalist nations would step in.
Hearst, his army of writer's, headed by the
notorious pen harlot Arthur Brisbane, and his
army of cartoonists, picturing hordes of grin
ming japanese flying to this country in hundreds
airplanes to drop bombs on peaceful American
es and destroy railroads, factories, and in gen
t.l wreck the country.
low many normal human beings imagine
at even the japanese militarists could entertain
1ch an insane war plan, is difficult to comprehend
Il there is method in Hearst's madness. He is out
! II big air navy and in order to work up a great
)pular demand for his scheme he first proceeds
brighten the people with horrible picture of
japanese airplanes spreading death and destruc
on turnout the country.
This war between the Japanese and American
capitalists will come not because Hearst wants
it but because of the conflicting interests of the
capitalists of America and Japan. This disaster
cannot be averted by piOus homilies on the evils
of 1t only be averted by the working class
of Japan and the United States taking the powers
of government away from the capitalists of their
respective countries and organizing Soviet govern
ments on the ruins Of the rObber capitalist system
