Mrs. Mary Windsor; Alias Queen Mary of England,
Seems to Haze LozC Doom On the Servant Problem
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Serrice IKrffer

IONDON, July 14.-MrS.
Mary Windsor, who lives
III at Constitution Hill and the
Mall, London, has no servant trou-
bles. And this despite the fact
that the servant problem is para
mount in thousands of homes in
England.
Mrs. Windsor not only mas all
the competent servants that she
needs, but has a waiting list Of
those eager to work in her home.
The secrets Of her success are
kindness, consideration and pro-
vision for the welfare and happi-
ness of those who work for her.
l forgot to mention that the lady
is better known and more respect
fully referred to over here as
Queen Mary. But the point 1
wanted to make by referring to
her as Mrs. Windsor was that.
aside from her exalted position in
Great Britain, the queen is emf
nently successful as the runner of
a home. And in spite of compe-
tent assistants, she does run it.
Not Always Rich
You cannot put over anything
on the Queen. She has known,
for one of royal birth, what many
kings would call near-poverty. In
her youth she learned how to
economic and how to run a house
hold. When she married the pres
ent King. her household purse
wasn't much bigger. because
George Y was then only Duke Of
York and his allowance was small.
Queen Mary has with her at
Buckingham Palace a staff Of per-
sons who have been with her for
years and know exactly how she
wants things run. The word
servant" is never used in the pal
ace. The women employees are
maids" The employment of
these is left to the chief house
keeper, who submits all recon-
mendations to Sir Derek KeppeI,
the master of the household, who
in turn passes them on to the
Queen for her final decision. This
is not a mere piece of court red
tape.

because there are no married
quarters in the palace. The maids
live in a building in the palace
grounds especially erected for
them. They get two or three eve

and weekdays alternately.
Restroom
In the building that the maids
inhabit there is a restroom which
is as good as a club. The latest

to the cause of the eleventh-hour
peace bow of the chairman of the for

Coming on the heels of the peace"
resolution Of Senator Pepper, and
with only about three legislative
weeks before congress, this move of
the Massachusetts senator is simply
a political maneuver of the Old Guard.
All talk that it will embarrass the
Coolidge administration is unfounded.
Coolidge and Lodge have had their
heads close together too long to per-

the reactionary senate leader would
take any steps inimical to the G. o. P.

Greetings to The AmaIgamated

out and out Gompersian roads. 1t has
come to such pass that it is already
hard to differentiate between the radi-
cal Amalgamated and the Gompers
unions; the same principles, the same
tactics. That holds true not only of
strikes, of agreements with higher ups,
but also Of the internal leadership. No
stand is taken on any questions, there
is nothing but sitting on two stools
and listening to those who rule with
terror in the labor movement. On the
quiet, there is plenty Of mouth-radical-
ism, but publicly, they are afraid to
raise their tone, they are as still as
water, and lower than grass" If it
is question Of labor affairs in other
countries, they don't dare to take an
other stand than that Of the yellows;
but as regards to internal matters, the
line of least resistance is chosen in
order not to break with the official
powers that be.
This situation must lead often to
very sad happenings, in case the right
machine takes to ruling in the "Amal-
gamated" also, and rules in such a
way as to besmirch the fair name Of
the union.
That which took place in Local 2,
where the famous" methods are used
against the membership, shows what a
neutral, two-faced attitude leads to.
The fight against the lefts is in fact,
going on in the "Amalgamated" also,
and if the present game will be con-
tinued Of not wanting to break with
the "Forward"machine, things might
get to such point that the entire
difference will be wiped out between
the "Amalgamated" and the other I'M
ions i'll which the fight has taken on
the most disgusting forms.
This must not be permitted, and the
convention of the "Amalgamated" in
Philadelphia, will have to place the
"Amalgamated" in the position which
it occupied in the year of revolution
airy brilliance; the Gompers methods
must be rejected, the Forward" ma
chine must be put in it's place, this ma
chine which is trying to dominate the
"Amalgamated" also.
The convention has many important
problems and it is to be hoped that
the delegates will see all these prob
lens so as to solve them in the spirit
Of the new time, as BELTS a radical
labor organization which does not go
backward, but goes forward. Our
greeting to the convention and our
wishes for successful work.

ulent capitalist peace proposals. The
reversion to The Hague system of
impotent conferences, the plan to
have machinery of Justice" apart
from the mechanism of the practical
ly defunct League of Nations, and the
proposal to avoid domestic questions
have all been put forward at some
time or other in the same or slightly
different form.
There is one phase of the Lodge
measure which is of tangible signif-
canoe at this time, in view of the
official support rendered to the Dawes
plan by Wall street and its govern
ment. The plan to have the interna-
tional judges chosen regardless of
their nationality from among per-
sons Of high moral character" is
worthy of the most serious consider
alton. 1t shows that the American
capitalists feel that with the strategic
hold they will have in Europe under
the Dawes plan, they can safely en-
trust more of their European affairs

to adopt new methods of running the department
OF justice in the interest of the employing class.
When the same service can be rendered to the big
financial and industrial groups by legal methods
there is no point in maintaining a cumbersome
extralegal machinery, particularly when it is
seriously discredited. As matter of fact, it is
much more effective to have the department of
justice run by professor than by a professional
detective. The taking over of the functions for
merly exercised by the private detectives of Mr..
Burns by formally and legally recognized sub
divisions of the department of justice is no boon
to the working class. The operation and manage
ment OF the department of justice in accordance
with the provisions of capitalist law for the CAPT
talist class is as much a menace to the welfare
OF the working and farming masses as the use of
the hired thugs and gangsters in an extralegal or
temporarily Illegal fashion against the laboring
class
The changed methods of expressing the working
and farming classes announced by the department
OF justice are by themselves no victory for the
workers. But the fact that the industrial and
agricultural classes were able to force the enemy
to attempt a change of weapon should inspire
these masses to decisive class action which will
take the entire governmental machinery out of
the hands of the bosses whom the Stones the
Coolidges the Daughertys, the Burnses, and the
Palmers have been and are serving alike.

to such court. This removes the
old objection to the League of Ma
tons court plan on the score of in
sufficient American representation by
specifically avoiding the issue, but
in reality enabling the Yankee impe-
rialists to dictate the personnel of
the new court. The American capital
list government would be glad to put
its faith in an international court
where men of high moral character"
hailing from such satrapies of Yam
kee finance as Colombia, Peru, Chile,
the Argentine, and Brazil are "ade-
quately" represented. Thru this
Lodge method the honor and faces of
the British and French imperiaIist
ruling classes would be saved and the
unchallenged supremacy of the Ameri-
can dollar would be secured.
In short, the Lodge peace proposal,
the measure just introduced by the
Massachusetts senator, who has for
years been vitality interested in NUM-
tions works, is simply another step in
the direction of American capitalism
evolving the effective plan they have
long sought for establishing their
world hegemony hidden behind the
mask of world peace" organization.

masses but as less dangerous enemy of the pro-
letariat and the agrarian masses at particular
historical moment. Experience may be a very
stern and costly schoolmaster, but experience is
still the best teacher for great masses.
One can appreciate the difficulties in the path
of any Mexican government. Ambassador Warren
speaking for the Wall Street interests is bringing
to bear great pressure on the poverty stricken
country. We understand how Gales might
be compelled to yield something to this pressure
of the financial Shylocks Yet, when he makes the
demand that the peasants dsarm, Gales is shame
facedy betraying the most vital interests of the
Mexican workers and farmers BY this move
Gales is attempting to enable his regime to force
upon the country the harshest terms of foreign
capitalist control. Once the peasants are disarm-
ed the death warrant to all the promises made by
Obregon to distribute the land amongst the poor
farmers will have been signed. Once the peasants
and workers arc disarmed, the most viruent germs
for successful Fascist revolt will be implanted
in the Mexican sofia Fascist movement which
might very likely be led by Gales himself the
next time.
There is only one way out for the workers and
farmers of Mexico. The Communists of Mexico
have shown the way The Mexican workers and
farmers can save themselves only by fighting to the
bitter end for the Communist demand of "Arms
and Land" for the peasants and workers.

Stone Reforms

Many liberals will greet with Joy the announce
ment of reform to be instituted by the depart
ment of justice All the extra-legal and political
work that has characterized the activities of the
department of justice in the last few years is to
be discontinued, according to the promises of
Daugherty's successor.
We are in no hurry to celebrate. We know that
the leopard cannot change his spots. The depart
ment of justice is today, it was yesterday, the
tool, the weapon, of the big capitalist interests
owning and controlling the industries and govern
ment
Mr.. Stone, 1T is true, when compared with the
unlettered William j. Burns, and the crude boor-
lsh Daugherty, is somewhat of a scholar. Mr..
Stone is realist enough to face facts squarely The
rise of Mr.. Stone to the office he now holds was
occasioned and forced by the menace of serious
mass protest threatening to make changes of the
first magnitude in the balance of class political
power in the country. The new attorney generals
methods are simply the adjustment of a reaction
airy Coolidge spokesman to the new conditions at
hand.
With all the revelations concerning the work
ings of the extra-legal machinery of the Palmer
Burns-DaughePty gang, the sinister Vaccinations
of system forced upon the country at a time
when the working and farming masses had sur.
rendered practically all political initiative and
were completely submerged, it would have been
the height of folly to continue the use of such
instruments at time when these very masses are
growing evermore conscious of the real character

Gales Turns the Corner

General Gales who is about to be elected pre-
sident of Mexico has, according to recent press
dispatches, announced his intention of surrender
ing completely to the dictation of foreign capital
ist interests.
General Gales was the symbol of the progress
sive forces allied with the militant agraran party,
the labor party, and the communist forces in beat
ing back the Fascist attack of de la Huerta. The
reported abject retreat of the Mexican president
Ito be-affords an object lesson of great import
ance to the workers and exploited farmers of every
country. This lesson is particularly timely to
our working and farming classes about to enter
the most important political campaign in the last
fifty years.
When de la Huerta in league with the native
reactionary elements organized the Fascist rebel
lion against the Obregon government, the Com
munists of Mexico were the first working class
group to call for defense of the Obregon govern
ment The Communists did this not because OBJ
RECON Gales were followers Of the Third Inter-
national but simply because they felt that to per-
nit de la Huerta Fascist victory over even the
miserable compromising government, at best only
afflicted with tendencies that might in a spirit
of charity, be construed as sympathetic with yell
low aristocratc labor, would enable the exploit
ers to rob the workers and farmers of whatever
gains they had managed to win thru years Of the
most difficult and costly struggle.
De la Huerta is crushed. Gales was saved by
the masses Now the same Gales is preparing to
launch regime to crush the very masses that
have saved him and the class he represents. This
is not a new phenomenon in the history of class
conflicts Thru this obvious right-aboutface, open
betrayal great masses of Mexican workers and
farmers will now Gales in his real role, in the

Soviet Russia; it is in fact almost the

only workers republic Of the world,
paying no attention to all the ISLANDERS

Actually, the attitude of "the Anal

has not changed to this day. At a
time when others of our unions utilize
the ISLANDERS and Indictment against
Soviet Russia as a means Of fighting
against all opposition in their own
ranks, the "Amalgamated" continues
its work as before.
Naturally, the constantly growing
strength of the "Amalgamated" gives
the Forward" no repose; the For

with an iron fist, to transform it into

A CrOwning Infamy

Coolidge's veto of the inadequate soldiers
adjusted compensation measure comes as fitting
climax to a series of outrages committed against
the great number of workers and poor farmers
constituting the overwhelming majority of the
expeditionary forces that were rushed to Europe
in the last war
First of all, these sons of the working class,
these sons of the farming masses were forced to
desert the mills and fields for the trenches to fight
to save the profit system under which their bosses,
the financial and industrial monarchs, exploit and
Cypress them.
Once on Flanders Field and at verdun, these
soldier masses were manned and slaughtered with
out the slightest regard for the value of their lives
but simply for the enhancement of the military
prowess buttressing the capitalist class and govern
ment in Wall Street and Washington At the same
time the capitalists for whom they were fighting
coming fabulous profits out of the blood that
these poor workers and farmers were losing in
the war.
After these soldiers bought the victory for their
employers at the price of their own limbs and
lives, they were shipped back to the 'land Of the
free and the home of the brave" to walk the
streets of the big industrial centers out of work
and out of hope. At the same time the very gov
eminent which they saved was handing out billions
of dollars of bonuses to the railway, shipping,
mining and manufacturing Overlords dominating
the economic life of the country.
Soon the soldiers sought at least pittance of
economic relief. An effort was made to secure
some legislation granting the ex-soldiers only an
infnitessimal fraction of what the employing class
had been getting all the time. While the capitalist
government lackeys were feverishly at work hand
huge bonuses to their masters they bitterly
and detefminedly resisted the advancement of a
single cent to any group that in the slightest
way composed of members of the working and
farming classes. All attempts to secure a So
called bonus for the exsoldiers failed disastrously
COolidge's veto long expected The frank
ness with which "Cautious Cal" has denounced
and fought even the present mangled bonus mea-
sure shows very plainly the big business interests
must have given Coolidge a mighty substantial
guarantee to atone for the loss of votes that his
enmity to the bill will surely entail him. Obvi-
ously the ruling class is bent on maintaining the
invOability of the principle that this is govern
ment of, by, and for the capitalist interests
If the conditions making possible for such con
duct of the CeOlidges and their agents and masters
to be eradicated this veto must be looked upon
merely the logical natural next step in series
of crimes committed against all workers and poor
farmers by the exploiting class, as the crowning
infamy of the outrageous treatment accorded the
ex-soldier masses that gave their all to make the
world safe for capitalist democracy.
