tests that the pens in their respec-

The Punishment Fitted the Crime

Since the reactionary labor leaders began play
ing with the idea of political action thru the c. p
z. A., the socialists were handy tools in their
hands in ferreting out the presence of radicals who
might be expected to inject atmosphere of class
struggle into the midde-cass talkfests held under
the auspices of the conference for progressive pot
ical action.
At the Cleveland convention the anti-Commun-
list stOOlpigeOn on the credentials committee was
the then national secretary of the socialist party
One of the questions he asked the representatives
of the Workers Party who presented their creden-
tails was: "Do you believe in dictatorship" They
were not admitted, of course.
At the most recent and last convention of the
c. P. P. A. another yellow socialist was honored
with the position of chairman of the credentials
committee But there being no Communists pre-
sent, the reactOnaries began to transform the
deepest yellow into purple and by the time the
c. P. p A. and its invited guests got thru with the
socialists the latter found themselves homeless
They crawled until their stomachs were calloused
but it was of no avail Having played the role of
stoopgeOn for the labor fakers the socialist party
was treated as a stoopigeon is usually treated by
his employer when his services are no longer re-
quired. pA-
Deserted by the brotherhood leaders and swatted
by the socaled progressves the poor socialists al
most excited the pity of the few Communist OBJ
servers who watched the comedy. 1t was case of
the punishment fitting the crime.

part that feeling of security to those who are not
similarly equipped, that is essential to peaceful
atmosphere The first thing you know there is a
scramble for hardware, bigger and better than
what the walking arsenal is toting. This is how
it works with the capitalist nations Preparedness
for war begets preparedness and god is always on
the side of the best poison gas.
But here is where we are going to disappoint
the pacifsts who have been gurgling with joy over
the preceding paragraphs. War between nations is
inevitable under capitalism. The burglars cannot
agree on the division of the loot. War between
classes is inevitable under capitalism. Therefore
the preparedness of capitalist governments has a
twofold object: protection against the enemy
abroad and also against the enemy within. The
enemy within is the working class.
1t is folly to expect that governments will disarm
as long as there are conflicting classes. They will
not Governmental governments organs of
suppression. There will never be peace on earth
until classes are abolished and that will not come
about until the capitalist class is abolished and

ruins This will necessitate war-a war that will
truly end war.

There's a Difference

When Floyd Collins, cave explorer, was caught
in narrow passageway leading to the cavern and
held there until death released him from his suf-
ferings the capitalist press Of the country featured
his agony and the attempts made to rescue him for
almost three weeks, not for the sake of the captive
but in order to boost circulation
AS the DAILY WORKER pointed out there are
thousands of deaths every year in the bowels of
the earth and preventables ones But they are due
to criminal negligence born of greed and the respon
sibe ones are the big capitalists Because of this
fact the pages of the capitalist press are silent
One OF those tragic incidents occurred a few DAYS
ago In Sullivan county, Ind. Fiftyone miners lost
their lives in mine disaster The story broke into
the front pages of the capitalist press for once.
But it was speedily relegated to obscurity by the
latest murder or the most recent development in
the Stokes divorce trial.
1t is well for the system to feature an incident
like the Floyd Collins case 1t shows the bour-
geoise in action trying to save one life the life of
a bourgeois on the make. But it is not so good to
picture the tragedy Of mine disaster which shows
the capitalists in another light, in the light of
greedy Doodle hounds, who willing to send their
slaves to certain death rather than cut into their
profits by installing safety devices

firmed their desire for trade union
unity. Negotiations carried on during
the congress between the British dele
cation and the Central Council of the
Russian trade unions resulted in a
resolution being passed at the AlI-Rus-
sian Trade Union Congress calling
for the formation of an Anglo-Russian
Unity Committee which would work
for closer alliance between the trade
unions of Russia and Great Britain
and also take steps for the unity Of
the world trade union movement.
THE significance of this latest step
lies in the fact that the British
trade unions form the basis of the
Amsterdam International and the Rus
sian trade unions form the basis OF
the R. /. L. u, and as such the
traitorous leadership Of Amsterdam
can only fight against the convoca-
ton of a congress for the unifying Of

pense of a split with the British
trade unions lin other words, a
split with their main support in the
European labor movement.

The Elections

Today the workers of Chicago are voting for
candidates to serve in the city council. With the
exception of four Communists, all the others stand
for the capitalist system which is responsible for
the dilapidated condition in which the municipal
machinery OF the second largest city in the United
States is in.
The Communist candidates go before the voters
with program that appeals to the workers and to
the workers alone. While the Communists are
anxious for the opportunity to expose the capital
list class from the tribune of the city council they
nevertheless point out that only thru the mass ac-
ton of the workers, thru their economic organiza-
tons and thru their determination to get rid of the
capitalist system can they free themselves from
their present servitude with all its attendant
miseries.
The working class voters in the wards in which
Comrades Dozenberg, Epstein, Cejka and BROKER
are running should cast their ballots for those
candidates who stand for their interests and who
will fight for their interests. The shyster LAWYERS
and business men who are running onl the capital.
ist tickets will make rosy promises, but the only
class they will serve is the capitalist class.
