U. S. Imperialism In Hawaii

Newspaper reports inform us that twenty
Filipinos are in Jail in Hilo, the main city on the
island of Hawaii as a result of a strike in which
over one thousand workers we're involved. This
little news item gives much food for thought tho
it is likely that its significance viii be lost on the
average reader of the capitalist press
1t shows the American government defending
with its armed forces, the interests Of the Ameri
can capitalist exploiters in distant lands We are
accustomed to seeing United States soldiers shoot
ing down strikers in the balliwicks of the steel trust
and in the baronies of the coal operators We are
accustomed to seeing the police clubbing pickets
in the name of law and order. But it is rather
new experience for American workers to see the
armed forces of what they, think is their govern
ment, crushing the struggles of pauperized labor
in other countries where the American flag has fol-
lowed the dollars of Wall Street.
The fake progressives in congress deliver elo-
quent speeches against the participation of the
United States in the schemes of the "mperialist
governments of Europe" But those charlatans
have no word of criticism for the tyrannical rule
of American capitalism, in South America, in
Hawaii, in Porto Rico and in the PHILIPPINES, a
tyranny backed by the administration in Washing
ton.
The extension of American imperialism is one
of the most serious problems confronting the
American working class. The strike Of the sugar
slaves in distant Hawaii affects the pay envelopes
of the American workers as well as if the strike
took place in any section of this country. When
the doubly exploited slaves in the colonies win a
wage increase, it means victory for the workers
in the United States.
If the Pan-American Federation of Labor was
a real organization of Labor and not an auxiliary
of Wall Street, it would aid the slaves of the
Sugar Trust in their strike in Hawaii and it would
take steps to organize them that their struggle
would be more effective. Its failure to do any
thing of the kind proves that it is just what the
Communists charge, the labor wing of American
Imperialism.

More Trouble for Czarist Spy

Raphael Abramovich, the gentleman who recent
ly arrived in the United States to satisfy the APP
petite of the socialist party for antSovet propa-
ganda is or less out of luck. His first effort
to give public vent to his hate for the Workers
Republic ended in a riot in which the police and
hired sluggers participation the side of Alb
ramovitch The friends of Soviet Russia were
able to hold up their end of the discussion without
the necessity OF seeking allies.
The second setback suffered by the delegate of
the czars socialists, was in Philadelphia when the
joint board Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
rejected by vote of fourteen to ten a request
of the socialist party to send delegates to greet
this renegade.
So far so good. Abramovich being a demo
crat is no doubt well pleased with the manner in
which the American workingclass rise to the OPP
portunity of taking novel referendum on the
question of Soviet Russia That they feel inclined
to take it out of Abramovich's hide may not be to
Raphael's liking, but when we consider the thou
sands of workers who we're sacrificed in Georgia
because of this criminals conspracies against the
Soviet government it is not surprising that Amer

Child LABOR
Expose Tactics Before
And After Election

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-An instance
of the impudent way the democratic
and republican leaders try to fool the
workers and the people is shown IN
correspondence between Lieutenant
Governor Seymour Lowman of New
York and Morris L. Ernst, chairman
Of the civic committee Of the New
York civic club. M
In reply to interrogations regarding
tho attitude Of the republican party
towards the proposed child labor
amendment, Mr.. Lowman said it was
the policy Of the republican party TO
submit the proposed amendment to an
advisory vote and that bill had al
ready been introduced for submitting
the question to the voters in the fall
election.
Mr.. Ernst, in his reply reminded Mr..
Lowman that both the republican and
democratic platforms had contained
pledges of the ratification OF the
amendment by the legislature.
Such referendum as you suggest"
wrote Mr. Ernst, "is entirely futile. II
is in no way binding upon the incom-
ing legislature. 1t has no legal effect
whatever. 1t certainly cannot be more
effective mandate to the Legislature
than the pladges Of both parties be.
fore the last election"
The republican and democratic
leaders know exactly what they are
doing when they are forced to make
promises to do something. They know
well they intend to do nothing and
they always have ready their plans
for getting out Of any promise, be.
fore they make it. The children are
just labor commodity to them.

A Stupid Concoction

The foreign" correspondent of the Gaelic Amer
lean forgot to fake London or Paris date line over
his review of the situation in Europe in a recent
issue. He starts out with "over here, to indicate
that the writer was in Europe. But in painting
his imaginary picture of Soviet Russia, the ex-
saloonkeeper succeeded in making donkey out of
himself The burden of his mbecility is as follows
Trotsky is gone. Zinoviev is next. Tchtcherin,
Stain and Rykov are against the Third Interna-
tional Only Kamenev is loyal. The Znoviev group
wants an alliance with the Second International.
Instead of supporting the Soviets as formerly the
governments of France and England are putting
the screws on them. The "commissar SYSTEM is
breaking down, etc. If this rot is typical of the
stuff turned out by Irish nationalist editors, and
we believe it is, it is not surprising that Lloyd
George tricked them into signing the Free State
treaty, and turned them into laughing stock.

The Scandinavian Party Conference on
the Recent Relapse Of Conrade TrOtsky

With reference to the dispute
which Comrade Trotzky has again
sought to arouse in our Russian broth
er party and in the c. l. by his new
book, 1877" the joint conference of
the Scandinavian Communist parties
declares:
The work Of Comrade Trotzky is a
direct continuation, in literary form,
of the liquidation policy Of the Rus
sian party opposition which was unan-
imously condemned at the 18th Party
Conference Of the Russian G. P. and
at the v. Congress of the Comintern.
Wherein consists the great error of
Comrade Trotzky? 1t consists in that
he wishes to limit the leading role of
the Communist Party in the class war
to the great moments" when the
party overthrows the rule Of the bour-
geoisie and seizes power at the head
of the revolutionary masses.
The Communist Party can only lead
the working class and the great sup
pressed masses to victory over the
capitalist state and the bourgeoisie,
II it follows the Bolshevist line in the
every day struggle Of the working
class, that is to say. if it pursues a
policy which at the same time ex-
presses and promotes the revolution
airy will to power Of the broad masses,
and develops the Communist Party in
TO real disciplined party embracing
the most class conscious and self-sac-
elements of the working class

WHAT The FARMER
I KINKS is the
MATTER With HIM
But Statistics Are Often
Deceitful

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan 26.-The bus
mess ts-especially small bus
mess men and town bankers-never
fail to point out that farmers fail in
their work as farmers because they
are not good managers and do not
save what they earn. This is an old
tale and one which has caused farm
ers generally to dislike many business
men.
The department of agriculture al
Washington, d. c., has published some
figures in relation to this matter that
might be Of interest to DAILY WORK
Err readers.
In discussing the various kinds Of
difficulties that the farmers have to
put up with, it says agriculture Year
book, 1929:
Studies by the department indicate
hat AZ per cent of the farmers fee,
that their financial difficulties are due
ito low prices Of farm products; to
high taxes, II per cent; high costs for
farm labor, II per cent; high freight
rates, 10 per cent; high interest, 10
per cent; reckless expenditures dur
ing boom periods, six per cent, and
too much credit, four per cent"
From this it would appear that the
farmer is not such witless fellow af
ter all. But the gentleman in the
department of agriculture never ap
pear to have asked or found out what
percentage of the farmers lay theil
financial trouble to the capitalist sys
tenn as whole.

Penna. Strike
In Anthracite
Compromised

WILKESBARE, Pa.-The strike of
the 10000 anthracite miners of Dis
trict One failed to materialize, and the
10000 strikers of the ten locals strik-
ing for two months against the Capped
ini-Pennsylvania Coal company combi-
nation, are ordered back to work by
the body which called them out-their
grievance committee.
This was the result Of an IS. o. s."
sent by Cappellini to John L. Lewis,
who sent a special commission to save
Cappellini from complete destruction.
The commission worked upon the
grievance committee leaders, who are
not revolutionary and lack strong
will and experienced knowledge, get
ting the vote to return to work in ex-
change for promises to see that griev-
apces are considered" and "consid.
GRAFTON" given the matter of returning
the charters Of the ten locals revoked
by Cappellini.
While not in the agreement, the
Lewis commission has doubtlessly put
pressure upon the weak leaders Of the
grievance committee to force the
miners to withdraw from pressing the
charges Of treachery and their call for
a special district convention to try
Cappellini on this charge.
1t is an unavoidable conclusion from
the way the agreement was reached,
that altho the grievance committees
are an expression of rank and file con.
troll Of the union which the miners
must keep at all costs, still they need
to be led by better, and more revolu.
tionary leadership than the present
group has furnished to date. Stand by
the grievance committees! But make
them fighting organs!

the Russian October sewers the Boil
shevik period Of preparation from the
revolutionary upheaval and the setting
up Of the proletarian state power, and
even put this forward as the Lessons
OF the October Revolution" then we
see in this relapse on the part of
Comrade Trotzky into his old semi
menshevist failing against which Com
rade Lenin himself was the sharpest
and most inexorable opponent.
Especially harmful is the criticism
by Comrade Trotzky Of the leaders Of
the Comintern, and in the first place
of Comrade zinoviev. What has such
a criticism to do with the Lessons of
the October revolution? No one has
more openly and honestly confessed
his mistakes than Cornrade Zinoviev.
Comrade Zinoviev has thereby drawn
lessons from the October revolution
which have strengthened and pushed
forward the Communist International,
and it is precisely therefore that Com.
rade Zinoyiev is at present more hat.
ed by the international bourgeoisie
than other leader of the Comintern.
The conference Of the four Com
munist Parties Of Scandinavia con
dennis the action Of Comrade Trotz-
KY, which will be taken advantage Of
by all enemies Of the Communist In
ternationaI in order to confuse the
working class and to weaken the Com
munist Party.
We say to Comrade Trotzky, that
the lessons of the Russian October
revolution do not permit of any kind
of criticism which strengthens the
semi-menshevist liquidatory tenden
cies in the Comintern, and could there
by weaken the international fighting
organization Of the working class.
On the contrary! The October rev
olution and our own experiences have
taught us that these tendencies con-
stitute the greatest danger to Com
munism, and that the victory of the
revolutionary working class is irnpos-
sible without the ruthless combating
OF these Tenderness in the ranks of the
Communist Parties themselves.
