CHAMPAIGN, 49,, Sept. 1s.-Ths
illinois State Federation Of Labor's
convention opened with the usual
prayers by preachers and class col
iaboratIon speeches by politicians.
John McGrath, president Of the

II the old custom of sending fraternal
delegates to the British Trade Union
Congress and the Canadian Trades
and Labor Congress is to be broad
ened into a policy of greeting the
German workers, it is argued, then
the French andfPoles and Italians and
Czechs and Japanese will demand
visits from the Americans.
American visiting delegates at Bri-
fish trade union congresses do not,
as a rule, take their duties very seri-
ously, and they come home untaint-
ed. They can understand the speech
of the country, and can prepare in
teresting reports with minimum of
work. But If delegates were to be
sent to Germany, France, Poland, or
Italy, they would have TO get transla-
lions of resolutions. speeches and re-
ports. and would discover how far
more serious is the class struggle in
Europe than in America.

BRITISH LABOR
WON BY MOSCOW,
IS BOSS Wall
Ramsay Macdonald Is
Hope of Capitalists

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The right wing
elements Of British labor are prepAFs
ing for the labor party conference 70
be held soon in Liverpool, by laying
down newspaper barraee against the
left wing In an effort to win back
by counter-attack the ground they
lost at the Scarborough conference Of
the British Trade uni6n conpressi
when J. II. Thomas, ciynes and eom@
pany were routed by the left wInga
led by Cook, Purcell, swaIes, Hicks
and PolIitt.
Startling headlines declaring that
British labor has bowed to Moscow
are spread over the pages Of the CAP
italist press. Practically every cap
italist paper in England, from mild
liberal like the Manchester Guardian
to the fascist Morning Post has joined
the anvil chorus, S aaf &c

Ramsay Macdonald, Philip Snow.
den. Sidney Webb. and other socialist
leaders are put forward by the en-
ployers as the knight Grants Of
democracy who are to save the coun-
try from the Bolshevtk dragon, per-
sonifed by Cook, and his comrades.
What got under the hides of the
reactionaries was the passage Of the
anti-imperiaIist resolution. This is ].
Bulls sore spot. The British ruling
class could stand any number Of I.
/. P. resolutions congratulating the
gimlet of production on its success
full evolution towards the center Of
the capitalist cocoanut, when the
milk Of socialism would finally trickle
into the mouths of the patient proIe-
tariat that had waited for centuries
for the day when their aims would be
realized without even the killing OF
bed bug.
They croan In Anguish.
The anti-imperialist resolution
smacks too much Of struggle, and
every pot bellied capitalist, every
perfumed harlot every yellow social
list pimp from the Isle of Wight to
the Orkneys is inwardly groaning over
the prospects for the future.
The capitalists hope that Macdonald
will carry the Liverpool parley, he be-
ing on his favorite ground. The left
wing is expected to have as its leader
John Wheatley, who, tho a catholic
in religion expressed a good deal of
militancy and recently startled the
British bourgeoisie by calling for ten
million workers as volunteers In a
defense force against the capitalists
fascists.
In addition to the big things that
are making Britains imperialist couch
anything but comfortable sleeping
place, is the little irritation caused by
the insistence on the part Of the Com
munist Saklatvala to attend the inter
parliamentary conference which lis
scheduled to meet soon in the United
States. Two British capitalist M.P.'s
have already resigned from the Brit
ish delegation rather than defle them
selves in the Communists presence.
Saklatvala, however, seems to en-
Joy the fuss his presence is creating
and the governments involved in the
parley do not seem to be able to nnd
plausible excuse for barring him.

on the floor.
Gave Berry a WaIlop.
Fitzpatrick was no friend of Berry
in the past. In fact, it is reported
that he handed the "majah" a husky
wallop on the Jaw at the Montreal
convention This was shortly after
the steel strike ana Berry made some
disparaging remarks about the strike
and its leaders, particularly the radi-
calls like William z. Foster, in Fitz-
patrick's presence.
But Fitzpatrick may have changed
his opinion of Berry as he is willing
to do about scabby Tom Rickert, the
strikebreaker, who is supplying finks
to the International Tailoring COM
pany with the sanction of william
Green.
The Plot Thickens.
Another complication that makes
the fight between Berry and No. 8,
more delicate. as far as Fitzpatrick
is concerned is the fact that Harry
Scheck, man of many schemes, is
reading clerk for the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor and very close to

thoroughly as possible the nursery
stocks of Delaware from the infection
of the beetle This certificate is not

titled stock in your order and the re-
suit will be Japanese beetles in your
greenhouses. Whenever buying stock
in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, de-
mand a certificate showing that it has
been examined and found to be free
from the Japanese beetle. Although
there are few beetles in your vicinity,

fed, it cannot be reshipped from the
