Anna Louise Strong
Speaks in Detroit
Thursday, March S

DETROIT, Mich, March 3.--Anna
Louise Strong, "Anise," noted FEEDER
ated Press Russian correspondent,
who has only recently returned from
Russia where she had been for threS
years, will speak in Detroit Thurs
day evening, March 5, in the House
of the Masses, 2646 st. Aubin.
"Anise" is a name familiar to all
readers of labor journalism. She was
on the staff of the Seattle Union Re.
cord for a number of years and her
feature articles appeared regularly in
the labor press.
"Anise" went to Russia to do what
she could to alleviate the suffering Of
the famine and epidemics. She her
self was stricken with typhus. Her
special articles and correspondence
made many a breach in the wall of
lies that the lickspittle press endea-
vored to build around Russia. And
for this service the workers of the
entire world owe much to HAnise."
Her lecture tour at this time ID
most opportune. When world events
are forcing change in the past pol.
icy of the government of the United
States regarding recognition of Sow.
let Russia, when the yellow reaction
aries are revamping old ISLANDERS
against the Soviet government, the
workers of Detroit will be fortunate
indeed to get the truth from one who
has had extremely favorable oppor-
tunities for intimate observation. Her
House of the Masses speech Thurs
day, March 8, will attract an audience
who sincerely look for knowledge of
Russian conditions under the Soviet.
Admission is rs cents.

Questions on Chapters II, IL, 10
1. How does the impetus of econ
omic progress in capitalist society
lead to the decrease IN the rate of
profit? Describe the process.
2. Does the decrease in the rate
of profit exclude the possibility that
there may be an absolute increase of
the number of workers and an abb
solute increase of surplus value ap-
Dropriated?
8. In what fashion does the cap
italist try to check the falling rate of
profit? What are the limits to this?
4. Explain the process whereby
capital becomes Capitalized surplus
value" instead of what it appears to
be. Show how Marks analysis of and
the process whereby the worker ad-
vances his labor power to the capital
list and receives payment therefore
after he has expended his labor COM
pletely reverses the generally held
viewpoint and throws an entirely new
light on the entire process.
4. Explain the process whereby
capital reproduces the same condi-
lions for its continuance. Explain re-
lationships springing therefrom.
5. Explain the general process OF

Labor Defense Meet

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March IA
real Communist spirit prevailed at the
home of Comrade NJ. Bayer of this
city on Sunday, February 1.
A number of comrades and close
sympathizers assembled there for a
pleasant and social afternoon and
evening. When the gaiety was at its
height, someone bubst out with a men
ton of the Michigan defense. I'm.
mediately comrade took the floor.
called for silence, and launched into
stirring appeal for the defense of
our comrades who are now facing long
prison terms as a result of the Michi
gan red raids of 1922.
The net result of the appeal was
$500 in cold cash for the Labor De-
Tense Council which has since been
turned in to the treasurer.
Here is a lesson to all comrades
who are in earnest about their work
toward defending our comrades. This
shows that most every gathering, no
matter how large or small it may be,
can be utilized for our work.

says Todd. Yes, if he 5can succeed in
insuring the dignity s. of the labor
takers pockets as we'll as their pride.
THE textile workers and garment
/ workers are robbed of half the
wealth they produce, according to
Todd. Apparently this was the con-
clusion of the conference. This is a
rather low estimate of cthe extent of
the robbery, particularly since a gov
eminent commission, presided over by
Frank P. Walsh and FATTY" Taft,
in 1912 proved that out of every dol
lars worth of wealth produced in the
United States, only seventeen cents
goes into the pockets of the workers.
However, that is a mere detail. What
concerns us most is the means pro-
posed by the labor leaders, whereby
more equal distribution of the
wealth produced can be attained.
LTHEY admit the employers rob the
workers quite legally. The en-
ployers see to that by owning the gov
eminent, and all the agencies of gov
eminent. To quote Mr.. Todd: "But
Green and Morrison saw in the con-
ference a chance to discredit this
legalistic ethics. They hoped to make
the country see that great scale pro-
duction needs control, based on a
higher valuation Of the human digni-
ty of the worker. If robbery of hun
.dreds of thousands of semi-starved tex
tile workers could be made a scandal,
instead of successful business, the
world would be moved along. So the
primary steps are taken, patiently,
against ButlerC Coolidge background.

ers are at least showing commendable
industry in their efforts to dodge any
kind OF struggle with the bosses.
Every artifice is resorted tosin order
to keep the workers hoping for some
betterment of their conditions with
out having to fight for 1t. The lead
ers have grown corpulent and most
OF them can only rise out OF their
office chairs with difficulty. Those of
them who can still bend the knee pre-.
fer to shoot craps than organize the

it's charter. This threat did not fright
en- the members, so Jensen got kind
Of mad. Members who smiled at his
frantic gestures had the same effect
on him as a bandana handkerchief
has on a crazy bull. He shook his
fist threatenipgly at them, only to in
crease the supply of grins.
Jensen rambled along, denounced
the. Communists and attacked Foster
and Ruthenberg. He charged the
Communists with attempting to break
up the unions. Several members call
ed the speaker liar and demanded
proof of his charges. The only proof
he coul dadvance was that the Com
munists wanted industrial unionism.
No Stranger to Crime.
Jensen's attacks on Foster and Ru-
thenberg for getting into the tolls of
the government brought forth inter-
esting comment from the members.
They pointed out that Harry is no
stranger to police cells, but he was
never arrested or convicted for politi-
cal offenses. His relations with the
courts were for entirely different rea-
sons.
After Jensen raved for one hour
Nels. Kjar, one of the expelled mem
bers had something to say. He show
ed that he and his comraces did not
have a fair trial and that Jensen lied
when he stated that Kjar and the
other expelled members were fighting
against the union. 1--WE admit to fight
ing against the labor takers" said
Kjar.
Jensen was finally forced to get
down off his high horse. II he was
have fair trial he would see that
they got one, he said. Somebody pro-
posed that the local take some action
to satisfy the curious and suggested
that a committee of five be elected
to investigate the matter. Not that
they have any way of convincing Jen-
sen.
Lied When He Joined.
The committee was finally elected
and Jensen agreed to sit in with this
five and also with the five expelled.
The meeting was scheduled to take
place Tuesday night. AS we go to
press there was no report of the out
come.
Members of Local ISL point out
that Jensen entered the union under
false pretense. He was over % years
of age when he joined, yet he repre-
scented himself as am apprentice, tho
over the age limit for apprentices, &C
cording to the constitution. For this
violation of union rules Jensen is
liable to expulsion from the organ
ization. Jim" Jensen who is now
one of Jensen's stauhRh defenders is
authority for this statement.
