The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-20

TTHE German Foreign Minister,
4 Stresemann. was right when he
mentioned in his speech on foreign
policy that the expression, "the ques-
ton Of security" had very little to
do with the things which were dis
cussed under this heading.
AS matter of fact, it is not ques-
ton Of the securing of peace or such
like things, but on the contrary, of
organizing the next war, of preparing
the grouping of powers.
LNRENCH imperialism represented
today by '1eft" government-un-
derstands by security: securing its
hegemony in Europe, the recognition
and consolidation of its military alli-
ances, the creation of a self-sufficing
economic, and before all heavy in
dustrial basis of its military power,
and for this purpose to draw Ger
man economy into it's sphere Of pow
er, further, to bind English imperial
ism by military alliance in order to
prevent its increasing ornaments
against France.
ENNGLISH Imperialism understands
IL by the same term of security,
something quite different.

Of our minds that remember fit back
to Lawrence" and know what the
struggle means in the places where
fabrics are made. The central COM
petitive union coal field is at a stand
still. The miners are getting desper-
ate. The wage agreement they signed
doesn't mean anything because the
coal is being dug in the non-union
fields. A bitter fight is picking up
steam in the old battle ground, West
Virginia. At this writing the news
comes of two hundred workers arrest
ed under the usual injunction against
picketing. One miner just got ten
years under w. virginia's very handy
Redmond act.
THE reactionary revival in Europe
has made progress. In certain
countries. especially the Balkans and
the Baltic States, white terror against
the workers has become endemic. The
rest of the countries in Europe, par
ticularly Italy, are treating their toll
ers none too tenderly. America has,
of necessity, acquired the habit of re-
fiecting things that happen abroad.
1t is merely phase of the growing
economic interdependence and there
fore political affinity that has become
a characteristic Of imperialist nations
like our own. Our own Iabor-baiters
have already developed a sort of Am
erican brand Of white terror, but for

their handicraft.

By Thurber Lewis

A NYONE who thinks the United
"A States supreme court is going to
fail to find any criminal syndicaIism
laws constitutional ought to read Gus
tavus Meyers. over a hundred work
ers are now held under those laws
(35 states have them and supreme
court judges, or any other kind for
that matter, don't wear robes for the
purpose Of releasing workers. We can
expect the Michigan and all other
cases pending an appeal to this IL
lustrious court to reopen for purposes
of quick conviction as soon as Taft
and his playmates get the high-sign
to hand down the kind of decision
they have always handed down.
The New York state criminal an
archy law has only lately been upheld
as constitutional by the supreme
court. 1t means that Ben Gitlow goes
back to Sing Sing and that the GRIM
inal syndicalism hoax is sanctioned
as permanent institution.
These are only a few examples to
indicate what is coming. It's stormy
weather ahead. But for the time be-
ing 1t can be said that the workers
are enjoying something Of a respite.
1t seems that this respite ought to be
taken advantage of. There is no sense
in the workers getting caught on
their guard again. Widespread work
ers' defense viii be needed and the
best time to organize for workers de-
Tense is not when the cases start to
pile up. but when there is a respite.
ON June 2s, national defense con-
~ ference will be held in Chicago.
This conference has been called By
the Labor Defense Council to rally
the workers behind a movement
whose purpose win be TO give defense
to the largest number Of workers In
the largest way. The aim is 70 create
central defense organ that WIN draw
support from all sections of the work
ing class to give aid to all workers at
tackled legally or otherwise for their
activities in the labor movement, re-
CARELESS of their opinions or affiIia-
lions.
This Is a wise move. What worker
who knows what the struggle against
the bosses means will hesitate to sup.
port a cause like this?
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-20

come from workers themselves. Oc-
OCCASIONALLY liberal, or even a mil
lionaire will contribute to workers
defense. But this can't be depended
upon. Certainly the demonstration
and protests must come from the
workers.
Workers defense in America SO far
has been a hit and miss affair De-
Tense committees have been built up
around labor cases as they arise.
When the cases die out so do the de-
Tense committees. This method has
obvious weaknesses.
The reason for it is that nobody
thinks of defense until there is need
for it. Until someone goes To Jail it
is hard to arouse much enSiusiasm for
getting him out. (And if he stays In
long time, as Mooney and Billings,
Ford and Suhr and Rangel and Cline
have staid in long, there is ten
dency to forget about him. The de-
pressing feature is that after one case
has been disposed of often as not a
whole flock follow and all the defend
ants are handicapped by not having
enough defense. The day of isolated
cases seems to have long since passed.
TN the camp Of the bosses, central
4 ization and concentration have be-
come the watchwords. They don't
allow themselves to do things discon-
nectedly any more. Thoroness is their
motto. When the time is ripe for a
wage cut or an open shop compaign
or the breaking Of big strike, 1t is
done on a large scale and with COM
pleteness. Judge Anderson's injunc-
ton, for example, during the railway
shipments strike of 1922 was no local
affair. It applied nationally and work
ers we're arrested under it in all parts
OF the country. Remember the /. w.
W. trial, when 166 indictments were
handed down by one court for workers
In every state. Remember the Palmer
red raids when workers were dragged
out of their homes in San Francisco
and New York at the same time. Yes
indeed. the snipe-bhooting stage is
over. Large-scale Industrial meth
DDS have been made to apply to the
commerce Of falling workers.

and agitating the worleEs against the
bosses, to the detriment Of profit.
That's a capital crime. 1t is crime
that may as well be written out bold
ly in its own name across the stat
ute books. 1t is not, as we know.
But it is written nevertheless in a
myriad statutes that serve the same
purpose.
At times there is more falling of
workers than at others. When the Of
fensive slackens, it means the machin-
cry for turning out profits runs
smoothly and their is little need for
the statutes and the frame-up artists.
The more alert workers are allowed
to agitate and organize among the
now complacent masses more or less
at WIN.
The machinery balks. Profits don't
come so easily and the masses are
not so complacent Or there is a war.
In both cases the more alert workers
constitute a danger to capitalism that
is met by statutes, if statutes serve
the purpose Of getting them out of the
way. or by frame-up artists If they

Gillett Turns a
Neat Trick on

Proof that Sheriff Gillctt is
mighty slick - is furnished by
a trick that he turned yester-
day on Sterling Oswalt, one of
his deputies, and Attorney o.
V. Wilson.
During discussion of the Cal
houn case at the Jail yesterday,
the sheriff offered to bet that
the jury would be out of the
jury room by sundown. and his
deputy and Attorney Wilson,
who defended Calhoun, took
him up at once.
The bets were accordingly
placed, and when night time
came, with no report from the
jury, Oswalt and Wilson went
to the sheriff and asked for
their money. They were dunn
founded when he told them that
they had lost the bet, and were
completely flabbergastcd when
he proved it by stating that the
jury left the jury room short
ly after 6 0 clock. 10 have dim
