SEEMING
CONTRADICTION

great national convention has been called for Nav
30 which will embrace at typical petty bourgeois
groups like the Committee Of Forty-Eght Third parties
like the Minnesota Famer-LabOr Party class party of
workers and exploited farmers such as the Federated
FarmeT-LabOr Party, and Communist Party-the Work
ers Party
Within the Progressive Party Of Nebraska there are
strong tendencies toward nominating La Toilette or even
Ford for president while at the same time this party in
dOrses the Federated Famerabor Party and declares
that it viii participate in the May 80 convention because
the Federated FamerLabOr Party will be present there
The convention of the South Dakota Farmer-T abor
Party nominated La Toilette for the presidency and at
the same time gave the wamest Endorsement to the Fed
Grated Famer-LabOr Party.
1t is an embarrassing situation
La Toilette is still in the old Republican Party Sena
tor Wheeler the leader of the radical Democrats is still
III the old Democratic Party. But the convention of the
FamerLabOr Party of South Dakota dominates La Fol
ette for president and yet this party is at the same time
an enemy OF the old Republican-DemOcratic Party La
Toilette is in the Republican party but the Farmer abor
party OF South Dakota is carrying on the btte1es fight
against the Republican party Senator Wheeler is in the
Democratic party, but the FamerLabor party of South
Dakota refused to make the fusion with the Democrats
advocated in its ranks by takers of the labor arstocracy
and delegates Of rich farmers.
La Toilette links the FaImer-Labor party of South Da-
kota with the LEFT WING OF THE WORST CAPITAL
IST PARTY the Republican party but the Endorsement
OF the Federated FarmerLaor party links the Farmer
Labor party of South Dakota with the LEFT WING OF
THE LABOR MOVEMENT, with the living class con-
seriousness Of the working class, with the Communist
Workers party.
In the big national convention on May 80 at Mime
apoIS there will undoubtedly be very powerful trend
towards nominating La Toilette for the presidency We
will find there political groups and parties of the small
business men and wetOdO farmers and nteigentsia on
the one hand but the other hand we will find humid
reds and hundreds of delegates of the rank and file of the
trade unions and exploited farmers and the delegates of
the claSScOnsclous Federated FamerLabor party and
the Communists Workers party

THE RELATIONSHIPS OF
THE DIFFERENT CLASSES

The existence of the various Third Parties on state
scale is explained in this way The small businessmen and
the wetO-do farmers who until lately stood under the
leadership Of the big capitalists have today lost their
faith in the leadership of the big capitalists THE CLASS
STRUGGLE growing more acute between big capital
banks, railroads and trusts the hand and the 9th
classes Of society the other hand finds its political
expression in the fact that the representatives of the
lower classes starting fractional fights in the old poll
tcal parties, and that the splitting away from
the Republican and Democratic party and are organic
ing Third parties under various names
At the same time the class struggle, growing ever
sharper is tearing asunder the ties which exist between
the small businessmen and wetodo farmers on the one
hand and the exploited farmers and proetaran workers
on the other Thus, the creation of the Famer- abor
Federation in Minnesota created separate organization
for the workers and exploited farmers within the Farmer
Labor party of Minnesota which is typical Third party
and is ruled by politicians of the weto-do farmers and
small businessmen like Magnus Johnson Shipstead and
Pike The split of the rich farmers who wanted fusion
with the Democratic party and boosted the candidacy of
Henry Ford, cleaned the Famer-Labor party of South
Dakota and left it party of the poorest and most e
plotted farmers The Federated Farmer-Labor party is
on national scale the party Of workers and exploited
farmers eve do not wish TO bring UP here the problem
Of the LABOR ARISTOCRACY and its political leaders
which is undergoing contrary development Instead Of
aying itself with the Third Party movement it is going
with the old parties of big capital Many comrades are
confused by this fact and they cannot understand that
the sharper the class struggle become the closer will the
gang OF leaders of the labor arstocracy ally itself with
the bourgeOise They do not understand that Gopers
on national scale, Holland in New York Walker in Iii
nOlS' Scharenberg in California Beck in South Dakota
are all OF them coming to play more and more the same
role as Dan and AbramOvtz in Russia Daszchinsl1y in
Poland, Ebert and NOske in Germany and Mac Donald

signed Frank L. Earnshaw and Otis

wardens. to duty in the District for
the purpose of checking up on the il

The federal migratory bird treaty
act and regulations prohibit the buy
ing or selling of wild ducks and other
migratory game birds at any season
of year. and the District game law pro-
hibits tn" buying or selling OF quail.
grouse. prairi. chicken, ptarInigarI.
and wild turkeys. The Depa ri M Mt
has received iuformat1uE that II CON
siderable amount Of ducks, quail and
other game has been bought aud sold
in the District. and Wardcns Earn
shaw and Trenis apprehended four
alleged violatorS. including Charles q.
Wells of Charles IL. Javins & Sons,
local dealers in fish and oysters: Hal
q. Nelson. Speridon Stamates. and J.
II. Johnson. These cases have been
set down for final disposition in court
the first of the following week.
Department officials called attention
to the fact that 1t is a violation of
the migratory bird treaty act TO
transport in any manner from state
or the District, any game bird which
has been killed contrary to law or
which is removed contrary to the
laws. The states of Maryland and
Virginia prohibit the export of game
by residents, and only permit lin
tied amount of game to be taken out
for personal use and not for sale by
licensed nonresident hunters, so that.
generally speaking. residents Of
either state bringing game into the
District not only violate their state
laws but are also liable to prosecu-
Ition for violating the transportation
provisions of the federal migratory
bird treaty act.
