Make the army strong ana emclent
and no one will dare attack u.s." he
said. He failed to mention that "us"
might attack others.
The doughty general invited the
delegates to go out and see what
nice fort he had at Fort Bliss, and
spoke feelingly Of the part Of labor
in the past war;" not the last war"
and thanked the delegates on behalf
of the United States army for their
war service. This remark seemed to
make Grassman, the fraternal dele
gate here from the German Federation
OF Trade Unions, little uncomfort-
able.
Mexieans Handed Package.
The secretary of the Texas State
Federation of Labor urged stricter i'm
migration laws against the admission
of Mexicans into the country. He did
not, of course, mention the word
Mexican" but said that 10000 i'm
migrants" came in yearly. He boast
ed of fifty labor laws on the state
statutes.
Another Texan, named Robert Ware
presented Gompers with gum tree
gavel and gave a regular high school
speech lauding General Samuel Hous-
ton as great ''liberator" for taking
Texas away from Mexico. The frater-
nal delegates from the Mexican labor
movement had their turn at being un-
comfortable.
Gompers' Speech Read by Green.
Gompers was evidently in no con-
dition to make speech. VIM. Green
of the U. M. w. of A. read Gompers'
speech, thanking the general and the
others for their worthy advice.
This speech of Gompers was a re-
tracing Of the history-from his view
point-of the federation from the
meeting in Pittsburgh forty-four years
ago. Strangely, it did not mention any
organization except the federation,
and it was plea to continue the pres
ent structure and policy of the fedora
ton.
Looking Backward" BY Samuel.
I'VE have tried and proved these
principles in economic, political, So
cial and international relations" said
Gompers.
"They have been tried and not found
wanting. Where we have tried other
ways we have failed"
Collaboration and Imperialism.
The report of the executive commit
tee reeks of class collaboration, with
boosts for labor banks" and an urge
for the federation to form a great
joint stock insurance company.
The report quite openly favors con-
scription providing materials are also
"conscripted" 1t infers labor should
fight for the suppression of some
nation or revolutionary group within
nation if the world court calls.
Little Joke on Canal Workers.
The recommendation on the canal
zone was one of the most amazing
things. Gompers submitted the recon-
mendation that in any work on the
canal zone, citizens Of the United
States should occupy favored posi-
ton at the expense Of other workers.
Gompers did not ask for more money
for the Americans, but demanded that
Mexicans and workers of Central
America should get from % to 35 per
cent less than any white man from
the United States.

MANY Join clsrks, Union.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-The Grocery
and Dairy Clerks Union of Greater
New York doubled its membership in
the strike which is nearly concluded.
over 1900 workers responded to the
strike call and within two days two
thirds of the workers had returned to
work under union conditions, accord
ing to Samuel Heller, secretary Of the
union. The organization drive inau-
gurated by the strike continues.

COOKS AND WATERS
UNION FIGHTS GOMPERS'
Ell PASO HEADQUARTERS
BY J. W. JoHNsToNE.

Ell PASo, Texas, Nov. 1s.--As
usual, Sam Gompers has selected
scab hotel in which to make the
headquarters of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor convention. A dele
gate from the local Cooks and Wait
ers' Union managed to get the floor
Of the convention long enough to
inform the convention that the
Hotel Paso del Norte dining room
was unfair and begged them not to
patronlze it.

which is being t0uted as the begin
ming of the salvation of the child la
borers, but which is in actually one
Of the greatest frauds yet perpetrated
on the American workers.
Not For Abolition.
"The amendment does not call for
the abolition of child labor Far from
it. It provides that, If it becomes a
part Of the constitution, 1t shall give
congress the right to limit, regulate or
prohibit the labor Of children up to
the age of Is.
Many workers are inclined to
think that the passage Of the amend
ment in the houses Of congress has
brought about the realization Of their
aim on this problem. But the truth
Of the matter is that the work. is
hardly begun, and if it is continued on
the same lines, will never be accom-
plished. The amendment now goes to
all of the 48 states for ratification by
legislature, constitutional convention or
referendum. II IS states fail to ratify
the amendment it can never become
part of the countrys laws. And if you
consider, the two facts that four states
have already ditched the amendment
and that the southern states will be
practically unanimous In rejecting the
proposition for the simple reason that
child labor in that part of the United
States forms one of the major props
Of exploitation, it becomes obvious
that the hopes for passage Of the
amendment are about nil
May Mean Halt Century.
1.-THE women's suffrage amendment,
which didn't come near to the child
labor measure in attacking the holy
property rights and profits of the
capitalists Of America, took forty-two
years to become part of the consti-
tuition: from January 10, 1878, when
Senator A. A. Sargent introduced it,
to January z, 1920, when it was final
ly ratified by Kentucky.
And supposing that the amendment
is finally passed" Shachtman went on,
"at about the time when the grand
children Of the present child laborers
are taking their place in industry and
agriculture, is there anyone who be-
lieves that congress will do anything
really to better the conditions of these
children? And as for abolishing child
exploitation, anyone who thinks con-
gress would even consider such
proposition, is exceedingly optimistic
at should also be bronze in mind
by those blithe liberals who are max
ing such TODD about their successes
to date, and by the workers who are
being deluded into thinking likewise,
that out of over 1000 amendments
proposed to the constitution since this
American government is in existence
only 10 have thus far been adopted"
Gives Communist Program.
, what is the program of the Com
munists, of the Young Workers League
on the question of child labor?" the
DAILY WORKER asked Shachtman.
well, we have always pointed out
the great menace that the existence
of child labor presents not only to the
physical and mental condition of the
workers in the future, but in the i'm
mediate present. Children and young
workers are being used more and
more to displace the adult workers

Hopes MussoIini May
Last Another Year

WASHINGTON, Nov 18.-Staff ON.
cials Of the state department are Gag
erly studying every press dispatch
and official report coming out of Italy
and Spain. It was blandly assumed,
as soon as the tories won the British
election, that the hope of the liberals
in the two Latin monarchies for an
overturn of the Mussolini and Rivera
relationships would collapse. When
reaction triumphed in the American
election they felt sure that the case
was settled. Instead they have found
Italy and Spain heaving and straining
as tho about to break their bonds
Shadow Of Fascism.
Chief interest is conferred on Italy,
because the Spanish dictatorship is,
after all, merely the shadow Of Fas-
cism, and is bound to dissolve when
the left or the liberals in Italy sue
coed in breaking the grip OF Musso-
lini. When the news came that the
Fascist chief had put a ban on the
political meetings Of the Garabaldi or
ganization of ex-soIdiers and sailors,
state department staff men realized
that the turn of events was becoming
grave.
AS Italy's situation is viewed here
by men familiar with Latin political
events of the past century, the Cara
baldian movement is Of the first i'm 3
portance. 1t marks a definite break
ing-away of one of the most powerful
sections of armed Italian citizenry
from the blackshirt regime. Behind
these secessionist warriors will form
the solid ranks of the workers, whose
unions and cooperative societies and
Communist Party institutions have
been smashed by the Fascist in the
past three years.
Increase in Opposition. s.
While nobody in Washington oficial-s
dom thinks that Mussolini is at the
end Of his rope, many believe that he
will be forced to make large conces- !
sions if he retains his job thru the
next year. In the meanwhile they
look for steady increase in the op.
position. And as this movement in
Italy grows, the Spanish dictatorship
and the throne of Alfonso will be
rocked more and more violently

OTTAWA, Can, Nov. 1S.-James
Murdoch, Canadian minister Of labor,
does not intend the official Labor
