WASHINGTON, Jan. H.
Capitalists Imperialism rnads
three shreWd moves yesterday
in the cabinet of the strike
breaker, Cal Coolidge.
Charles EYansHughes stepped
out of the secretaryship of the
state department; Frank B. KEEL
logg, ambassador to Britain, now
acting United States plenipoten-
tiary in the allied financial con-
ference at Paris was named as
Hughes successor, and Charles
Beecher Warren was appointed
as the new encouragement.
The sugar trust owns the depart
ment Of justice, the steel trust owns
the state department and the credit
trust of Wall street banks owns the
whole administration.
5orah's Policies Favored.
Rumors are rife that the resignation
of Hughes may mark a new policy in
the state department, particularly as
Coolidge is known to be favoring the
policies of Borah, now chairman of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, who sees the present advantage
OF recognition of Russia to American
export trade upon which must lie
based the comparative PROSPERITY"
the republican party must use as talk
ing point in the next election. fffe
eidentally, Borah hopes to get the
nomination
If such recognition should come, it
will be from no love of the Soviets
but from the rivalry OF America with
England, and a smooth trick by Amer
lean capital against the tory govern
ment.
The fact that Coolidge did not ask
Hughes to stay after March 4. as he
asked other cabinet officers, and his
favoring Borah's friend, Kellogg is
rumored to mean new orientation
in American foreign affairs, toward a
policy more aggressively independent
toward England and France as well.

under the Dawes plan and fencing for
advantage against America in the
matter Of war debts. Kellogg's sudden
magnifcation of power may impress
the allied diplomats with the necessity
of being courteous if not yielding to
the new secretary Of state.
Kellogg has shown great plomise as
an imperialist diplomat, winning his
greatest glory in his handling of the
delicate matter Of forcing the London
conference to accept the Dawes plan,
the charter Of American dominion over
Europe. He has served the United
States Steel corporation as its general
counsel, and has been the attorney

FASCISM'S rise
Seen IN GERMAN
CABINET MIX-UP
Moderates Giving Way
to MOn0rchiSts
Especial TO Tho Daily worker)

BERLIN, Jan. 11.-The efforts
of Finance Minister Hans Luther
to form a right wing cabinet in
Germany have not met with the
dismal failure of Chancellor
Marx, who gave up attempts to
form a moderate coalition cabi-
net after five unsuccessful
trials.
The monarchists have claimed four
portfolios in the reactionary cabinet
Luther is trying to form, and are GER
tain to be given three. The failure of
the moderate parties demonstrates the
fast drift of the German government
toward the right wing and points to
the probable rise of a fascist govern
ment in the near future, in order to
prevent possibility of a coalition in
which the moderates take part.
Chancellor Marx, leader of the
catholic party, and Foreign Minister
Sresemann, head Of the peoples par
~, are now bitter enemies, having
tailed to work together after months
of effort. Stresemann is accused by
the catholic party of deserving their
republican ideas" and of stabbing
their leaders in the back by allying
himself with the monarchists. The
catholic party refuses to participate
in the Luther cabinet, which if formed
win be dominated by the monarchists,

right wing.

BUTLER TRIES
new wage CUT
At new BEDFORD
United Textile Fights at
Fall RiUer
Especial to The Daily Worker)


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan.
11.-Wages in all of the cotton
mills of New Bedford, which
normally employ al 900 work.
ers, will be reduced 10 per cent
Jan. 10, it has been announced
at a meeting of the New Bed
ford Cotton Manufacturers as
sociation.
William Morgan Butler, Coelidge's
campaign manager, has long con-
trolled the New Bedford Cotton Man
ufacturers' Association, and is the
president of the National Association
of Textile Manufacturers which is an
nouncing wage cut at the same time
it is asking for higher tariffs.
The action follows a similar wage
cut in the cotton mills of Fall River
and reductions approximating 10 per
cent announced recently in other New
England textile centers.
Beginning next Monday the seven
member unions of the New Bedford
textile council viii vote on accept
ance of the reduction.
Are Buffers Stools at II Again?
A. few months ago the DAILY
WORKER exposed Butler as having
hired a swarm of Sherman detectives
to worm themselves into the New Bed
ford textile unions, actually con-
trolling the Textile Council with a
squad of willy stoolpigeons who knew
how to pretend to be with the work
ers, but were all the time getting paid
by Butler for sidetracking the work
ers' militancy and persuading them to
accept reductions of wages.
The Trade Union Educational
League her issued ringing call to oil
textile workers to force their scat
tered and impotent craft unions to
unite in action and fight with a solid
front against the wage cuts.
United Textile Fights Fall River Cut.
At Fall River. Massachusetts,, the
executive committee of four unions Of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea, at special meeting last night,
voted unanimously to oppose the re-
duction of 10 per cent in wages which
the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers
Association recently announced would
zecome effective in Fall River on Mon
day.
Six Unions Surrender.
Six unions thru their central organ
ization, the Fall River Textile Council,
have accepted the wage reduction, al
tho two of the member unions favored
strike action.
The rank and file of the textile
operatives are indignant at the sur.
render OF the union officials without
"a fight, and without even calling o
strike vote in the locals. Protests are
voiced in the textile council even, but
in the locals acid comment is heard,
asking il Buffers stoolpigeons have
got control of Fall River as well as
New Bedford.
The reduction affects all Fall River
cotton mills and involves between 90.
900 and 10000 workers.

reactionary, took extreme care in
naming the committee to see that only
conservatives served on same. Fuller.
ton of the Freshmen, famous for his
red batting" activities, Nelson OF the
Carpenters, and Marley of the Retail
Clerks, compose the committee.
The advocates Of the open shop in
Minneapolis have reason for their
great Joy and emitted clIuckles. Four
years ago the citizens alliance sue
ceeded in having Dan w. Stevens in.
carcerated behind prison walls be
cause. of his undying loyalty to the
slaves of industry. Every worker in
the city hated and despised the alli-
ance then, but now their offices are
visited by conservatives in the local
labor movement.
True it is, that they carefully cover
their footsteps and ask that their
name be not divulged, even to the
stenographers employed by the citi-
zens alliance, but they hold confiden.
tial chats with o. P. Briggs, neverthe.
less.
They are given beautifully bound
books written by W. A. Appleton, the
Gompers of the British labor move
ment, and asked to read them. But
even o. P. Briggs doubts the intelli-
gence of these reactionary stools, for
he says that he does not believe that
the books were read.
And SO, last night, Dan w. Stevens
faced the bitter TRADE of those for
whom he went to jail. Service and
loyalty mean nothing to the wreck
ers, however, and in spite of the fact
that for over nineteen years Stevens
has been member of the trade union
movement of this city, the greater
part of which has been served as an
official of the local assembly, he must
go. There is no room. seemingly, for
those who work for progress.
The refusal to reseat VIM. Mauseth,
Of the Machinists, follows closely up
on the heels of the action of the
Trades and Labor Assembly in I'M
seating C. A. Hathaway, also of this
same local, whose case is to be ap-
pealed to the executive committee of
the A. F. of l..
When Mauseth stepped forward to
be obligated. q reactionary arose in
the rear of the hall and shouted,
"Mauseth, there, is the man who once
sent a message to Bill Haywood while
he was in jail He is now a member
of the Communists. object to his
being seated as a delegate here in this
assembly"
Mauseth has been a member of or
ganized labor for several years and is
well known thruout the city as one OF
the most progressive workers-in the
movement
W. F. Bennett, business agent Of
Painters Local 1856, demanded that he
be given the floor in defense of his
co-delegate, Stevens.
Bennett said in part, IF you object
to one of our delegates you must oh
ject TO them all. This is a brazen at
tempt to dictate as to whom we shall
name as our representatives to this
body. j believe our, international will
stand with us in this fight. 1t is
Stevens sacred right to believe 20
litically as he sees fit"
To prove that the reactionaties can
not be trusted, the following incident
is related: A letter from the labor

read at the meeting. asking data on
