Paste This in Your Hat

If anyone has notion that the employers want
an open shop in order to be able to raise the pay
of the workers, even if anyone has the insane
idea that a successful open shop campaign won't
make any difference in the general wage rate mere
ly because he himself is not member of organized
labor he should read the following editorial taken
from the Minnesota Banker for the month of
December, 1920.
If anyone says, as some labor takers do some
times say, that the radicals" and cleft wing
are "helping the bosses' by "disturbing things

Minnesota Banker. So paste the following in your

what vast momentum the open shop movement is OBJ

BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN.

There are four kinds Of opera. Low
est in the scale are works like La
Traviata," which consists Of exactly
three melodies hung on to bad plot.
Next is the glorious boob type, like III
Trocatore," in which trashy melo
drama is set with catchy, brilliant
tunes, which are never dramatically
appropriate. Then there are the
masterpieces, like 1.-THE Dusk Of the
Gods" or Boris Godunov," in which
every last line, every holding tone in
a. fourth bassoon has meaning and
significance.
"Werther," which the Chicago
Civic Opera Company gave at the
Auditorium last Thursday night. be-
longs to the class Of pleasantly I'M
important operas. along with good
many others. The opera is by Jules
Massenet, adapted from the novel,
"The Sorrows Of Werther," by Goethe.
werther is in love with Charlotte,
who is engaged to marry Albert. AL
tho she returns Werther's affection,
she marries Albert. because her
mother had made her promise accord
ingly when the old lady was dying.

"Our Empire"

The London Daily Herald carries an advertise
ment in recent issue of a series of brilliant and
statesmanlike" articles from the pen of j. T..
Thomas, colonial minister in the Macdonald gov
ernment to appear in Answers" one Of the string
of publications founded by the late and unlamented
imperialist Lord Northcliffe
When the labor party was called upon by the
king of England to form government and Ram
say Macdonald kissed the royal toe, yellow social
lists all over the world boosted that the policy
of class collaboration and "letting evolution take
its course as against the policy of class struggle
and revolution was indicated. The Communists
pointed out that the assumption of power by the
labor party did not mean the conquest of power on
the part of the working class or their emancipa-
ton, but that the bourgeoisie were in a tight fix
and needed the labor takers to pull them out of a
hole That is what happened.
Ramsay Macdonald guided the destinies Of the
empire as carefully as did his predecessor, Stanley
Baldwin. He slaughtered Hindoos and Egyptians,
who thought they had right to some liberty in
their native land. He built battleships to defend
the loot of the pirate capitalists who own the Brit
ish government He threatened to use the armed
forces in strikes, against the workers What more
could he do?
j. FL. Thomas looked after His Maiesty's colonies.
He explained to the workers of Britain that the
empire their empire that it was to their in
terests to put down "native" uprisings and exploit
the colonial peoples. He performed his duty just
as conscientiously the comparatively unknown
turnkey who preceded him. The labor party gov
eminent brought no change in British foreign
policy until the labor movement forced it to guar
antee loan to Soviet Russia Then the bourgeoisie
decided that danger was around the corner and
kicked it out
Today J. FL. Thomas is writing for bourgeois
paper about "our empire" The Daily Herald, an
alleged socialist paper, publishes the advertise
ment In doing so the Daily Herald participates in
the treachery of j. II. Thomas, who is selling for
cash the confidence that the masses of British
workers still repose in him. He is instillng into
their minds the perniciOus doctrine that Britain
and all her colonies belong to the British workers.
and that they co-partners with the bloated i'm
perialists in the business of footing the victims of
the pirate empire.
The British labor party has given fool proof evil
dence of the futility of expecting labor party
government to represent the interests of the work
ing class. Wherever they have been in office, they
have acted as the willing servants of the ruling
class The Right Honorable j. Fl. Thomas is a
horrible example of yellow socialist serving his
masters. But Victor Berger or Morris Hillquit
would act no differently if Wall Street decided that
the COolidges and Davises were no longer able
to keep the masses from revolving.

For the Fighting Proletariat of Poland!

The Polish sejm decided to deliver
Comrade Lanzuski into the hands Of
the secret police on account of a
speech which he delivered at meet
ing Of the railway workers. Com
rade Lanzuski-a worker, a railway
man, is accused of high treason. Ac-
cording to the laws of democratic"
Poland, the penalty for this crime Isl
capital punishment.
The arrest Of Comrade Lanzuski had
long been prepared and did not come
unexpected. During the whole day
the police Of the Polish bourgeoisie
were lying in wait before the sejm
building in order to arrest Comrade
Lanzuski Immediately the decision to
hand over had been adopted by the
sejm. In spite Of this, Comrade Lam
zuski appeared before the sejm in or
der to hurl in the face of the Polish
bourgeoisie and of the Polish socialist
party the defiance Of the revolution
airy proletariat. The accused became
the accuser.
Communism is growing and the
day is not distant when it will sweep
you off the face Of the earth" decIar-
ed Comrade Lanzuski in his speech;
and these bold words Of the proletar-
ian champion will find a response, not
only in Poland, but everywhere where
there are revolutionary workers and
peasants.
Comrade Lanzuski is torn from the
ranks Of the active champions Of the
proletariat, as was Comrade Dombal
two years ago. But the Communist
Party of Poland lives and will con-
tinue its fight, in spite of the white
terror and in spite of the campaign
Of lies of the bourgeois and social

federates intend, by the arrest OF

The Same Old NorthcIife

Perhaps some of our readers believe that Lord
Northcliffe Is dead. He isn't. He simply stopped
editing the London Times and took long vacation.
Being staunch imperialist, Northcliffe still
watches over the empire from his invisible vacation
land
You can't keep some people from breaking into
the news Northciffe is one of them. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle and several other bourgeois gentlemen
held meeting in Queens Hall, London, recently.
The hall was crowded 1t is no wonder. Who would
not go to see bunch Of bourgeois nuts offer them
selves as object lessons the intellectual deteriora-
ton of capitalist society?
According to the author of Sherlock Holmes,
Northcife does not like the Times editorials. He
says they are too long. Some critics find the same
fault with the DAILY WORKER editorials But
we submit that ours are interesting. Northcliffe
resented his being given credit for popuarizing the
"bogey of Bolsheyism" as means Of soaring the
masses. The best way to keep the masses in tow,
he told Conan Doyle, is to "tckle em."
We suggest that Conan Doyle get in touch with

CAUSES OF FAILURE
IN CHICKEN GAME

The poultry business ~ developing

losing money with poultry. There are
reasons for everything. says p. n.
Hail. extension poultry hu&bandanan,
at Clemson college. who points out
four OF the main causes OF failure IN
the chicken game.
The firsg cause OF failure Ia rails

q beginner TO learn about the poultry
business. tie should start on small
scalg and gradually grow into the
poultry eane until he knows every
angle OF Il. He should go slowly at
tarst and then increase his business

The second reason why people are
not making money In the poultry
business ls the purchasing Of poor
stock for breeding and laying pur-
poses Because some people have
pure bred ponitry does not mean that
they always have the very best. The
man that goes into the poultry bust
ness should start out with the beat
stock possible.
The third cause OF poor results m
