newed vigor by the capitalist class.
Workers in every line Of industry will
have their wages greatly reduced.
No Relief for Agriculture.
every attempt on the part Of the
workers will be brutally suppressed
by the capitalists. The crisis in agri-
culture will not be ended because Of
the slight increase in the price Of
wheat because it is based on the
economic Generalization of Europe.
1.-THE crisis in industry in America
coupled with the crisis in agriculture
will greatly intensity the class con
flicts going on in capitalist society
The producers, that is, the workers
and farmers, in desperation and revolt
against the intolerable conditions that
the crisis will produce, will become
factors in big mass struggles against
the capitalists who dominate the econ
omic and political life of the country.
The workers in this campaign
must know what the attitude of all
the political parties will be to the
struggles Of the workers that will en-
sue as result of the conditions
What will be the attitude of the re-
publican party?
Republicans Use Mailed Fist.
THE republican party will use the
mailed fist against the workers. That
is all the workers can expect from
that party, a party that has for it's
presidential candidate the Strike
Breaker Coolidge, and for its vice
presidential candidate, Hell and
Maria Dawes, the agent of j. P. Nor
gan and company, the arch-Fascist in
the United States.
1.-THE republican party in power
means wage cuts, Daugherty injunc-
tions and the most brutal suppression
Of all strikes. The republican party
in powers means that the open shop
crowd that is out to smash the un-
ions will dominate the government
100 per cent.
Democrats No Better.
THE democratic party will be no
different in power because the demo
cratic candidate is also owned and
dominated by Morgan and his Wall
Street gang. The candidate of the
democratic party is John w. Davis
the chief counsel of ]. P. Morgan and
Co. Morgan does not care which way
the workers vote because it they vote
republican. his good man Friday
Dawes, will be elected; If they vote
democratic then his legal counsel,
Davis, will be elected.
"The capitalist dictatorship, with
its unemployment, wage cuts and
brutal suppression of the workers, is
safe with either the republican or
democratic parties in power.
IF the workers in the United States
want to continue in power their en-
emies, the open shoppers, the million.
aires and billionaires, they can do
nothing better than vote and support
the two old parties.
LaFoIIette Silent on Big Issue.
"But then the workers will ask me,
How about LaFollette? Won't he
serve the interests of the workers.
In the face of the crisis developing in
the United States what has LaFol-
lette to say on the question of unem-
ployment and wage reductions? Not
a single word. He is as silent as a
clam in this respect. Why? Because
LaFollette represents that section of
the capitalist class that has not yet
succeeded in reaching the pinnacles OF
wealth that the Wall Street kings
have reached.
HE represents the small business
men, the small exploiters of labor.
But he will be used, he has for As
years been used, as an upholder of the
capitalist order of society. In the
face OF the rising tide of revolt against
the capitalist system, LaFollette will
be used to stave off the workers re.
