BOURGEOISE IN
FEAR OF ITS own
VIOLENT PHRASES
Wants to Conceal Its
Revolutionary Past
tspeoIaI 70 rhe paIIy workerl


WASHINGTON, D. o., May 20
July 4th is going to BIZ mobilization
day and war demonstration day. There
is an advantage Of getting the work
ers to think Of the day on which the
declaration of independence was sign
ed as a day of fag-saluting and sweaty
marching under shouting and booted
and suprred officers. It serves to make
EN- forget that the declaration Of In
dependence states fatty that when
ever a government failsf to serve
people satisfactorily, they have a nat
ural right to overthrow it and try
new one.
The Constitution Only
In congress, last February, the adj
ministration forces made 1t clear that
they wanted only the federal consti-
tuition taught in the public schools.
They voted down overwhelmingly an
amendment that called for teaching
the declaration Of independence. Even
the phrases Of their own bourgeois re
volution in the days of its infancy
smacked too strongly Of treason to
present day imperialist government.
So the 4th of July will be day to
inculcate obedience to authority
rather than even a bourgeois suspi-
cion Of it.
Unpublished "War Measures"
Last year the editorial staff Of a big
eastern paper which began q camp
align of ridicule against mobilization
day was suppressed by the business
manager just before it was to publish
program of war measures" which
logically should accompany the day.
In this program were included:
1. Names Of war profteers for the
new war-what the various big corpo-
rations could be expected to get out
of it in inflated prices and in normal
profits on supplies of various kinds.
2. Names Of radical labor leaders
to be jailed or mobbed for holding
anti-war views. Names Of prominent
patriots who would denounce them,
and epithets to be used to fit the new
war.
8. Names Of crooks whose records
were cleared by their volunteering to
hold high executive offices in the war
machine.
4. Establishing of breadless days.
meatless days, shoeless days, shirt
less days, saltles days, ETC., which
would run concurrently during the de-
monstration. Gasless day would be
essential to the test.
s. Lists Of army officers killed,
manned, gassed and weunded.
This program never got into print.

WASHINGTON (TP) - May 2s.-
In its final session at Washington the
U. S. chamber of commerce conven-
ton adopted this declaration on rail-
road policy:
"The transportation act of 1890 ex-
pressly provides for the preservation
Of our transportation systems in full
vigor. Proposed amendatory legisla-
ton creates uncertainty in the public
mind, tends to retard business, and
thus interferes with the growth and
development of our transportation sys-
tenn. The record Of the inter-
state commerce commission is such as
to commend that body as the proper
agency thru which all laws governing
the common carriers should be admin
istered."

SOVIET RUSSIA
kept conference
ON UNEASY SEAT
New Frameup Against
Workers Republic
(speoIaI to The paIIy workerl

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
GENEVA, May 29.-While the vari-
GUS capitalist nations were jockeying
for position in the next war at the So
called arms parley here, the Soviet
Union was attending to her knitting.
Russia was invited to send repres-
entation to the conference, but the
Soviet authorities decided that the
company Of gang Of confidence men
was no place for an honest prole-
tartan.
Not that the Bolshevik government
refuses to sit down with the enemy
as a matter Of principle, but in this
particular case it felt that nothing
could be gained by participation.
Business First.
Peace was the ostensible object of
the parley. One war weapon after an
other was proposed for the verboten
list, and one after another withdrawn.
Nations that don't build battleships
proposed that naval vessels should
not be sold by one country to an
other. Britain would not stand for
that. She sells her old junk to small
nations, thus making an honest penny
and putting the purchasing nation un-
der obligations to her.
A motion providing for the publica-
ton of statistics relative to arms
manufacture was proposed. This did
not suit Poland which claimed that 1t
could not stand for such PROPOSE
ton until such time as Russia agreed
to abide by the decisions Of the con-
ference.
Special Consideration.
The conference agreed to show spe-
cial consideration to nations border
ing on Soviet Russia. This means that
the big capitalist powers intend to use
them as bases against the workers
republic.
Britain proposed that the signature
Of Soviet Russia to the decisions Of
the traflc-in-arms conference should
not be considered essential. This was
seconded by Representative Burton
on the head Of the American delegae
ton, who scored Russia for not at.
tending. On Burton's suggestion a
committee was appointed to consider
the results of Russia's non-participa-
ton in the conference. This was un-
derstood to be cloak under which to
hide q new offensive against he
Soviet power.

Doubt was also felt - to whether

and as to whether the radio audience
would include enough serious-minded

Defense CALLS
FOR BAIL FUND
To Rally Ex Service
Men for Crouch

Two important decisions Of the
Chicago conference for labor defense
at its recent meeting took In the local
situation as regards ball money and
the need for energetic action on be-
half fthe imprisoned "Red" soldiers,
Crouch and TrumbuI.
The local secretary reported that
the labor defense council bail fund
had been exhausted. When the first
arrest, that Of D. q. Farley, took
place, only S25, the customary bail,
was demanded. But when, a week
later, Thurber Lewis, Karl Reeve, and
Paul Hacker were taken in, 800 each
was set. This money was raised, but
1t wiped out the fund already depict
ed by the need for surety for Comrade
Zinich, editor of the South Slavic pa
per, Radnik, and for those arrested
for leahet distribution. Last week
the weather made It impossible to
continue the fight, but II It is to be
carried forward additional bail funds
must be raised.
Ftan MASS MCSLiuHSs
Money given or loaned for this pur-
pose is never spent, It is kept In a
separate bail fund to free arrested
comrades pending their trials. When
the trial ends the bail is returned and
can be used for the next case. Party
branches and other organizations with
good-sized treasures are appealed to
for loans to this fund. These loans
will be returned within a reasonable
time and in special cases, on demand.
Individual comrades should also make
such loans whenever possible. Get
in touch with Labor Defense Council
at 10 8. Lincoln st., Seeley 1852.
In anticipation Of an energetic ma
tion-wide campaign on behalf Of the
imprisoned soldiers Crouch and Trum-
bull, the committee decided to enlist
the aid of every ex-service man in
the movement OF friendly toward it.
Names and addresses, name and Lum-
Der of unit served In and rank held,
Of every friendly soldier, sailor or
marine of any of the entente armies
in the world war. must be collected
by every branch secretary, or by spe-
cial committees elected for this pur-
pose.
A mass meeting is planned, in col
laboration with an "Ex-servicemen's
committee for release Of Crouch and
Trumbull"- well as outdoor atiga-
tions, petitions, resolutions By organ
izations, etc.
Funds Needed.
The need Of winding up current
financial drives to clear the way for
the next campaign, was pointed out
All funds for Irish Relief and Miners
Relief must be sent In at once.
Delegate Marek reported on the ex-
cellsnt success of the committee for
relief Of the political prisoners of
Poland. Several trade unions as well
as fraternal societies are represented,
and an attack by white guard social
lists was turned about into a glowing
triumph for the committee. Repre-
sentatives went right into the white
meeting and debated the issue, utterly
discomfitting their adversaries.
