The proclamation Of the All-Ameri-

Trade Unions and Labor Takers.
THE American trade unions should
= be the first to take up the vital
struggle Of the workers against impe-
rialism. Many of them have already
shown their determination to do this.
But the bureaucratic officialdom Of
the trade unions is not anti-imperial-
list but pro-imperialist. The compla-
cent "$10,000-a-year labor leadrs" are
themselves enjoying the fruits of i'm
perialism; the extravagant profits
wrung from the toll of colonial and
semi-colonial peoples, enable the i'm
perialists to share small portion
with the so-called aristocracy of la
Dor, form of bribe-money OF which
the labor takers are the first to take
advantage.
These labor leaders" do not live
the lives Of workers. They do not
represent the real interests of the
workers. They interfere with every
attempt to strengthen the unions by
amalgamation.
They sabotage the movement for
the formation of labor party to give
political expression to the workers as
against the political parties of the
bosses.
They lead the workers to the
slaughter whenever new imperialist
profit-war breaks QUIT
1t is from the rank and file of the
trade unions that the struggle against
capitalist exploitation gets its urge.
Allies Against Wall Street.
THE American workers have one
1 staunch ally, Soviet Russia, which
has already vanquished capitalist rule
over one-sixth of the surface of the
earth and which is bound by ties of
revolutionary solidarity to the work
ing class movement everywhere.
Another trust worthy ally is the
oppressed colonial and semi-colonial
peoples, the victims of American i'm
perialism in Hawaii and the Philip
pines, in Porto Rico, in Hayti and San
to Domingo, in Cuba, in Mexico, in
Central America, in Venezuela, in
Bolivia and Peru.
These peoples pay toll to Wall
Street no less than we. They are the
worst exploited of all. And they are
struggling to be free.

1t had, however, less excuse because
China had already complied with her
promise and declared war on Ger

when the supplementary facts are
considered, that the allied embassies

agencies Of Japanese Imperialism.

BY JAY LoVEsToNE

THE latest report on the industrial
= situation in Illinois in May 1925,
just issued by R. d. Cahan, chief sta
tistician Of the Illinois department Of
labor, shows very clearly that "the
downward course Of industry in IlI-
nois continues"
The volume of employment in the
state shows that conditions make May
1925 the worst May in four years.
Reports from manufacturers employ
ing formerly about 40 per cent of the
factory workers Of the state show
that the number of unemployed has
been increasing by the slackening Of
operations in the factories by 1000
since the middle Of February. Indus
trial operations in Illinois are today
Z per cent below the level of year
ago and IA per cent below that Of
May 1923.
Illinois Not Alone In Decline
The report goes on to say that
Illinois is not alone In experiencing
the effects OF depressed industry. i. !. /.
a preliminary statement issued by the
press on june 10th by the New York
state department OF labor states that
employment in that state had receded

cent decline in April"

MANIFESTO OF THE WORKERS
(cOMMUNIsT) PARTY OF AMERICA

The paid press agents Of imperial
ism tell us that the United States has
entered these territories for their
own good" that American rule is
beneficial that the natives like it and
that "only a discordant minority" op-
poses. This is the hypocritical Ian
guage Of imperialism-the same as
that used by the British imperialists
in India, and by profit-seeking impe-
rialists everywhere.
What are the facts?
FiIIplnos and Latin Americans Want
Freedom.
THE Filipino voters have time after
4 time demanded immediate indie
pendence from the United States.
Both houses of the Filipino congress
are completely in the hands of the
independence party led by Manuel
QueZon, who has just scored another
overwhelming victory at the polls.
Porto Rico has already forced the
recall of one American governor-gen-
eral and, against the open hostility
Of American officials, has kept in Of
fee legislature elected on a plat
form Of national independence.
The people of Haiti and Central
America have used every means to
free themselves.
Thruout Latin America, American
rule is maintained only by corrup-
ton, bulldozing and force of arms.
}Amerlean Workers Facing Test.
THE separate struggles for national
4 liberation have now been unified,
thru the formation of the All-Ameri-
can .Anti-Imperialist League, which
the American workers have also been
invited to join.
It has put the workers Of the Unit
ed States before a test which is far
more direct than President Coolidge's
defense test" With United States
troops actually occupying foreign ter
ritory, the supreme test of the SINGER
ity of every class conscious worker in
this country is militant opposition to
American Imperialism.
Celebrate AntI-ImperiaIist Week.
THE week of June 20 to July 4, will
L be Anti-Imperialist Week thru
out the American continent. There is
to be solid week of protest and prop
uganda in every Latin-American coun-
try.
"AnttImperialist Week" must be
celebrated still more widely, still
more militantly in the United States
itself. by American workers.
The revolutionary working class
must be the champion Of every op-
pressed people. Our dead Comrade
Lenin emphasized time and again that
no people can be free that Expresses

workers and that Of the nations op-

Employment is continuing to decline.
A year ago the unemployment situa-
ton in Illinois was already declared
to be confidential. The Illinois depart
ment of labor had declared in 1924
that the unemployment situation was
already a serious problem.
Mining Situation Growing Worse
The mining industry is not only not
improving but actually growing worse
There are today more mines closed
down than there were a year ago.
The largest mine in the Peoria sub
district has just shut down. 10 to At
mines submitting monthly reports to
the Illinois department OF labor were
completely inactive during May.
Metal industries Hard Hit.

manufacturers per cent; and agri-

FAMOUS DUELIST WOUNDED
Lucicn Gaudin, Regarded As World Best, Loses in Honor Tilt With Olympic Champion.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, March 10.-Lucien Gaudin, generally regarded in France as the worlds greatest sportsman. was wounded today in a duel with Ar mand Massard. Olympic champion at Antwerp in 1920. Massards sword traversed the flesh of Gaudin's sword hand during their first passage at arms. The wound was slight, but Gaudin was unable to continue.
 Gaudin is lefthander. He had been matched to meet Charles Del porte. the Belgian, 1924 Olympic champion, at Brussels the coming Friday. This would have marked his r,"uprarance in big matches after his withdrawal during the Paris Olympic games because of neuritis, which caused much caustic comment, as he was being hard pressed in the competition at the time.
 Gaudin's seconds were Rene La croix, secretary general of the In- ternational Fencing federation, and Rene Prejelan. Massard's seconds were the Conte Do Cugnon nAlin- court and Charles Latotan, former sword champion of France.

HAVE PERILOUS RIDE
White Plains People in Drivcrless Car that Runs Down Hill and Barely Misses Hitting Train.

Elmsford, N. r., March 10. - A perilous downhill ride in a driveress automobile. during which the ma chine crashed through the gate at railroad crossing in Tarrytown road barely missing the rear coach of a passing train. was the cXperi- ence late last night Of a White Plains motoring party of four.
 In bringing his car to a stop as the train approached, Albert Fields stalled the engine. As he left the drivers seat to crank the motor, the machine slipped into gear and, gathering speed, tore through the gates and raced wildly down the hill, until it struck an obstruction. The car was hurled against a house by the roadside, where Mrs. Fields and children escaped with cuts from flying glass.
