CIR JOHN AND LADY WARD, who
- is the daughter of Mrs. White
law Reid, owner of the New York
Tribune, are going north to Perthshire
for shooting. They will drink bottles
Of champagne, Scotch whisky, wine
and Guiness's xxx porter. This is a
democratic country and if our best
people can make lots of money, they
have perfect right to spend it where
they please. At least that is what the
Chicago Tribune tells us. Capitalism
creates incentive. But for the capital
lists there would be no work we are
told. Perhaps not for the capitalists,
because they are so accustomed to
loafing that death would be prefer
rable to work for most of. them.
THERE are others. Lady Leith of
Fyvie, formerly Lady January of
st. Louis, is giving a shooting party
at Fyvie Castle. Mrs. Archibald of
Edmonstone, formerly Miss Gwendo-
Ign Marshall Field, is entertaining at
Stirlingshire. This happy condition
exists in a country presided over by
a socialist pemier. We hasten to add,
for fear our readers might get a heart
attack that Mr.. Macdonald is not a
wicked Communist who would insist
on sending these parasites to work
after turning over their estates to the
landless peasants of England and
Scotland. Oh, no! Mr. Macdonald is
a Christian socialist, not exactly like
Morris Hillquit, who is Talmudic so
cialist, nor like LaFollette who is re-
puted to be an agnostic socialist, but
like Jesus of Nazareth who was not
socialist at all. The capitalists will
never nail Ramsay to a cross as the
Romans nailed his prophet.
THERE are approximately one mil
lion workers unemployed in Great
Britain. They are living on miserable
weekly doles. The prospects are that
their unemployment will become
chronic. And not only will they be
chronically unemployed but they will
become "unemployable." That is they
will become so deteriorated physically
and mentally that thru long period
of unemployment and semi-starvation
that they will be unable to work. In
stead of turning over to the unem.
ployed land now used by American
heiresses and their British male pood.
les for shooting innocent birds, Ram
say Macdonald, the Baptist "revolu.
zionist" only suggests that people be-
come more charitable and abolish
classes.
IN Soviet Russia there are no para
! sites shooting grouse or duck on
land that is needed by the peasantry.
Since 1917, the workers and peasants
OF that country have had chance to
shoot grouse for themselves but they
were obliged to shoot lot bigger
game first.

Observation-Disclosures

The Philadelphia public Ledger'f
Of August 20 says the ''KUZBAS" has
reduced the selling price of coal in
Siberia from 1913 per ton to $3.50
and has reduced the price of coke by
one third. 'KUzBAS" is col1ing 4OO,s
600 pools $1,000 tons) of coke per
month which smelts iron-ore in the
Ural steel mills, thereby displacing
expensive charcoal. "KUZBAS" pro-
duces benzol, ammonia, gas, tar, etc.
"KUZBAS" has $4,000 acre farm OF
which half is plowed, and also dairy
with 100 COWS.

must be revolving" or else he would
have observed that the Treaty of Yer
sailles is superseded by the Dawes
Plan to all intents and purposes.
Morgan will put German Industry on
It's feet for the benefit of Morgan but
the German workers will pay the
piper. Berger is not concerned with
the fate of the German workers. He
is only worried about that "combina.
ton of chemical elements" known as
Germany.
n FTER Calvin Coolidge got back
"A to Washington from two weeks
vacation among the Vermont Hills. he
sounded a call for the observance of
the homely American virtues of low.
atty, common sense, faith and the
golden rule. He said that was the
platform Jesus of Nazareth ran on.
but perhaps he forgot that Jesus
wound up his campaign as an orna.
ment on big wooden cross. Even
Norris Hillquit admits that Coolidge is
an honest man but so was Christ and
yet he was crucified between two
thieves. Cal may be crucified between
dozen of them. Barabas had moth.
ing on Daugherty, and this reminds us
that the mob called for Barrabas and
let Jesus die. 1t looks worse than
ever for Cal.
THEN the devil was sick, the
wv devil a saint would be; when
the devil was well the devil saint
was he" It is the other way around
with the capitalist candidates for pres.
ident. When they were holding their
conventions, and the crowds cheered
and workers were CONSPICUOUS by their
absence, labor votes were not thot of.
But when the cheering died down and
the candidates went out into the cold
world they began to realize that there
were more workers than capitalists in
the United States. Therefore all the
capitalist aspirants for the presidency
got their windpipes- ready for Labor
Day
MAR. DAVIS, Morgan's lawyer, was
IVI an honest-to-goodness friend OF
labor. He was against the injunction
in labor disputes. He was against
the Esch-Cummins law. He was for
the anti-child labor amendment. In
fact he was for everything that the
workers favor. His boss, Morgan,
being over in Scotland, and campaign
speeches, being what they are, Davis
did not care what he was for or
against so long as he got the votes.
COOLIDGE also made speech on
~ Labor Day. He spoke to a group
of labor takers. Calvin, the man who
broke the Boston Policemen's strike
wished labor well. But 1t was labor OF
the sort that follows T. v. o'Connor,
president of the shipping board, John
l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America and other
super labor takers. That the capital
list candidates are willing to govel in
the dust for the labor vote, proves
what a power labor could be IL II only
got together in its own political party
and stood on its own feet. AS it is,
outside Of the Workers Parry, there
is no other party in the field that Of.

the Midwest News, formerly the Mid
West Labor News. 1t is edited by ].
A. Lochray So that his name and
fame may ring down the winding cor.
ridors Of time, it is meet that we pre-
sent his surrender to LaFollette,
Spreckles and Gompers in his own jul
diciously camoufiaged words. AS all
leaders are liable to be misunder
stood, their motives questioned and
even their pocketbooks sometimes
left without tenant, so was Mr. Loeb
fray.
lie was once radical and every
1 body except a few Communists
jumped on him. It is true, he had the
Rev. Beebe and William Green, but
those who count had no use for him.
The labor takers walloped him right
and left. But you cannot keep a good
man down. He got the best Of the
labor takers by surrendering to them.
The Midwest is now receptacle for
as much of the Gompers weekly con-
signment of garbage as its pages can
contain. And better still, the Labor
Day issue contains plenty of advertise
ments, which bears profitable if mute
testimony to the truth that life of
evil does not pay. 1t pays to reform.
.DEING with the minority means
- hard shedding, so the Midwest
News joined the throng. After assert
ing that it will continue to fight for
the workers, the News says editorially:
&c. it will continue to fight their
battles, adjusting itself to the policies
and program most acceptable TO the
great majority in both economic and
political affairs" On other words il
will go with the crowd.
