"Vigilant and astute in his Judgment

Watch Your Wages!

1t appears as if the expected business slump has
arrived somewhat Sooner than many high-priced
economic experts prophesied it would A perusal
of the leading financial and industrial journals re
veals unanimity about the sharp fall in business.
The Magazine of Wall Street in summing up the
present dark economic outlook soundly declared:
"The fact is that for several years we have been
going along smoothly filing out the postwar de-
mands for sundries such as new housing, railroad
equipment, automobiles to ride around in, and
many other essentials and non-essentials That
demand has to appreciate extent been salts
fed" OF course the disturbed world conditions
and the increasing competition confronting the
United States particularly in the market for agri
cultural products, have only aggravated the ten
dency towards decline in production and bust
ness
AS usual it is the workers and poor farmers
who suffer first and most in all economic crises.
Not only is the air thick with plans to slash the
workingmen's wages, but recent weeks have seen
substantial wage cuts come with increasing fire.
quency. Steel cotton, shoe, and carpet manufac-
turers are cutting wages and reducing their operat
ing forces
New York rug and knitting mills have just re
duced the wages of their workers by ten per cent.
At Worcester, Massachusetts, the Whittall Mills,
making carpets have ordered a similar wage re-
10 take Immediate erect. In Lynn, MAS
sachusetts thirtynine shoe factories have reduced
wages by twenty per cent In New Jersey and
Pennsylvania wages have declined last month. The
Woonsocket Rubber Company, as subsidiary of
the United States Rubber Company, has just shut
down. Leading locomotive and cap shops are 60
ing on five day week In the Birmingham dis
trict the Republic Iron and Steel Company is put
ting in force lower wages Financial circles are
expecting an early announcement of a general
wage cut in the steel industry. Steel is the baro
meter of the wage trend in industry.
1t is now obvious that the summer will see the
tendency towards wage cuts become more pro
nounced. What the workers going to do about
it? Preparedness is the best policy in the class
war. If the working class is to maintain even
the meagre advantages it has won thru the bit
terest of struggles long years. it should forth
with take steps to put end to the new wage
cutting campaign before it gets beyond control
and visits untold difficulties and suffering amongst
great masses.
Every trade union, every organization of the
working class is vitality concerned with this new
menace and cannot act too quickly to take effective
steps to meet the danger to the workers homes and
lives.

More About ProgreSSiUes

In an attempt to explain the why and wherefore
of the American Federation of Labor becoming
more of a subsidiary of the American Defense So
ciety than a trade union body fighting for the
workers "Public Affairs" somewhat liberal
Washington monthly. offers Qualification which
has most unclean covert thrust In It.
This "non-partisan" magazine attributes labor
bureaucracy's fear of the Communists to the belief
"that the Communist Party in this country is sub
sidized. promoted and maintained by Wall Street
thru provocatory agents." In discussing the fin
ancing of Labor" and the DAILY WORKER, the
editor tells the readers that union members support
the first publication, it keeps mum on the source OF
the DAILY WORKERS support, and then goes on
to emit an impotent wall about the "undoubted sin
cerity of the Communist outfit and the frequently
useful contributions of the paper itself" But
and here is the big b" in nine of every ten socaled
liberal lamentations-the fair-minded journal con-
cludes with the statement that the effect OF the
DAILY WORKER "can only be to retard any
progressive movement in America, or perhaps to
destroy it utterly"
This is insolence with vengeance for spokes-
man of the self-styled progressives who still hand
out thrash about the magnanimous role that a
Ralston can play in the life of the country in the
everyday events of the working and farming
masses.
While Wall Street was banqueting Mr.. Gompers,
its government was bounding and prosecuting the
Communists There has never been launched a
campaign against the Communists of this country
that has not been inspired and financed by Wall
Street. While Mr.. Gompers, who is a constructive
progressive in the eyes of the excited liberal editor
was joining hands with the strike-breaking United
States Chamber of Commerce, which is the recog-
Aff1e6 mouthpiece of finance capital in this coun-
try The DAILY WORKER, brought into life by
the contributions of the poor workingmen and
farmers, was under fire from the Farringtons and
the Leweses for its serving the demand that the
United Mine Workers of Illinois be returned to
the hundred thousand miners of the state.
The Communists and their press and propaganda
are the most constructive forces in the labor
ment today. In every recent big strike in every
bitter struggle of the workers against the exploit
ers it has been the Communists who have been in
the front ranks. The Communists are the dynamic
force in the whole Farmer Labor political move
ment. The DAILY WORKER, as the organ Of the
Communists, has never failed the workers. 1t
would be useless to ask where 'Publc Affairs" and
the so-called progressives were in the recent
struggles of the workers. The to this ques-
ton would tell us where this group stands today,
where it will be found tomorrow and would settle
the dispute as to who is who in the class conflict
between the exploiters and the working and farm
ing masses.

The Filipino Strike

serious revolt by great mass of Filipino
tenant farmers has broken out against the sugar
barons. The present strike, declared to secure
better payment for the sugar workers, is of more
deep-going significance than surface indications
would tend to indicate.
The struggle of the Filipino tenants is primari-
ly a fight against vicious system of petty bos
sism, known as caciqueism. The strike is a mass
protest against social and political oppression as
well as against economic exploitation. The out
come of the conflict will have far-reaching effects
the political and economic life of the Philippine
Islands. The vicious system of caciqueism under
which the sublieutenants of the powerful sugar
barons rule over the tenant farmers working the
fields with an iron, ruthless hand is fighting for
its very existence in this strike. Should these
dauntless workers win, the victory would undoub
tedly prove a signal for a general onslaught
against the whole tyrannical order, an attack
which could result only in successful ending for
the working and farming masses.
The American working and farming classes are
interested in this strike especially at this time The
unrest among the tenant farmers is merely phase
of the general unrest and dissatisfaction that is
gripping the entire Filipino people. The fight
now being waged by the twenty thousand Filipino
sugar workers in Hawaii against the inhumane
working conditions and the starvation wages forced
upOu tncH ny inc sugar capitalists inc
leadership of the American Governor General is
more evidence of the rebellious temper of the Fill
pinO people at this date. And the increasing de-
mand being made by the Filipino masses for com
plete national freedom from the imperialist
Washington government is, today, the dynamic
force of the widespread discomfort that has seized
the Islands.
These events show the mood in which the Philip
pine nation in general, and the Filipino work
ing and farming masses in particular, are at this
moment. Since it is our capitalist government,
our own exploiting class, that is today the prin-
cipal oppressor of the Filipinos, the working and
farming classes Of the United States should take
full heed of the Developments in the Philippines.
We should do everything in our power to hasten
the evacuation of the Islands by the American
military and naval officers and by the Yankee ex-
ploiters The achievement of national freedom
will be Of tremendous aid to the Filipino working
masses towards their establishment of complete
working class freedom in the Islands, towards
Kidding the Philippines Of all exploiters, native
as well as foreign.
