Secretary Kellogg

The announcement that Secretary of State
Hughes intended to retire to the practice of law
after March next, was the subject of considerable
speculation in Washington when the news first
leaked out. The general opinion was that Hughes
and Coolidge could not eye to eye on the ques-
ton of relations with Soviet Russia Hughes was
the head and front of the anti-Soviet propaganda
here, aided by Samuel Gompers.
The appointment of Senator Borah as chairman
of the foreign relations committee made Hughes
position still more difficult. The Idaho senator
favors recognition of the Soviet government and
he was in entire disagreement with the intran-
sigeant attitude of the secretary of state.
1t was officially denied at the White House that
the resignation of Secretary Hughes was due to
any difference of opinion between the little New
England strikebreaker and the Standard Oil at
tOrney over Russia. But it is rather significant
that Borah, advocate of Soviet recognition should
move to secure unanimous consent for the consider
alton of Kelloggs nomination without its reference
to committee
The United States is now the only important
country in the world that has not recognized Soviet
Russia. The recent treaty between the Soviet gov
eminent and Japan has given the movement for
recognition decided impetus. The Hughes policy
has proven to be failure Soviet recognition is
undoubtedly in the offing

1t was good while it lasted. Five million votes
were cast for Robert Marion LaFollette. The So

They claimed them as their own.
LaF'ollette had big business badly scared for a

big business and in order to offset the protesta-
tons of loyalty to the capitalist system that came
from LaFollette and his supporters it pictured the
Wisconsin senator an extreme radical, who
would liquidate Wall Street the day after his cleo
ton and hang the big corporation heads on con
venient lamp posts.
1t is now only few months after the elections.
The shouting and the tumult has died down. Sen
ator Wheeler is defending himself in an oil indict-
ment LaFollette is taking sun bath somewhere
in Florida. The c. j. =. A. is going to meet and
talk. Nobody seems TO know what to do with it,.

should be interested don't know where they are at,

This is what the Leader says about "Fightin' Bob"

The south is being industralized. Last week we
carried the news of a gigantic southern merger
under House of Morgan auspices of electric power,
coal mining chemical and fertilizer industries that
means more intensive exploitation of the southern
workers, black and white.
Georgia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Louis
lana, Kentucky and Tennessee, with COAL iron lum-
Der and water power, are fertile fields of invest
ment for northern capital
The agricultural south is dying. The smoke of
factories, mines and smelters smudges the cotton
blossoms. Feudalism with the plantation owner as
the overload is replaced by modern capitalism. The
crack of the slayedrivers whip is replaced by the
more efficient spy system of the industrial baron.
To all this the labor movement must have an
answer, but the correct answer will never be given
by the Greens, VOLS, Ryans and MOrrisons. Their
recommendations will consist of the usual plati-
tides and leave the problem Of the Negro in in
dusry unsolved.
The Negro workers in the north and south who
toll side by side with white workers. will get

NATION CICGLES
AT CAL And HIS
ELECTRIC STEED
President Prefers Spark
Plug to Elephant
10y Tho Federated Press)

WASHINGTON Feb. 17.-Call Cool
idge's hobby-horse, presented to him
by Dwight Morrow, partner in the
banking house of Morgan & Co., was
a deep, dread secret Of the presiden-
tial dressing-chamber until the eau
tious one attempted one of his official
denials by pressing the stop and gal
lop buttons at the same instant.
Then, whether for lack of oil or other
reason, the electric.power-fed beast
went smash, and was sent to the navy
yard shops for repairs. A mechanic
possessing a sense ofHhumor on the
issue of economy gave hint to a
newspaper, and the story broke out
on front pages all over the country.
Millions Of robust Americans laughed
at the imaginary picture of this purse
Tipped little man, clad in underclothes
and dressing gown, solemnly riding 2
rocking-horse in his own room, and
possibly casting suspicious glances at
the walls and ceiling for stray wit
nesses Of his frivolity.c
WhonelI Is He?
There is in Washington this winter
a former progressive writer who has
seemingly undertaken to explain
away, apologize for, or boldly deny
as untrue and blasphemous, anything
and everything spoken or written in
disparagement of the glory of Cool
idge, Hughes, Dawes, Longworth, the
Italian fascist ambassador, Stone,
Warren and so on ad infnitum. He
has outdone even Senator Spencer of
Missouri, whom Jim Reed declared to
be worthy Of tombstone inscribed
with the names of Daugherty, Fall,
and the rest of the men whom he has
whitewashed, with the legend-"He
found no wrong anywhere" Upon this
court apologist the burden of hushing
up the laughter of America at the
hobby-horse will logically fall.
And when the ingenuity of the whole
administration has been expressed in
this blast of anti-laughter publicity,
the society columns of Washington
newspapers will tell the world who
gave tea or party in grateful ac-
knOwledgement.

The United Front Of Capital

B. NJ. Jewell, head Of the railroad department of
the A. F. of L. after calling off the shipments strike
which began in July 1922, states in a letter that
could be made" was used to bring the strike ito a
successful conclusion"
Mr.. Jewell then says that the calling off of the
strike is justiied-'"with no basis for hope of
further efforts" A few lines above this, in his
apology he declares that the strike was not lost.
With no successful conclusion" nor any "basis for
hope" it is an uncurable 'look on the bright
slider" who can gayly remark that the strike was
not lost
Mr. Jewell cites the reasons, nevertheless for
this peculiar victory" At least he cites one of the
reasons. He says: "Not only the railroad manage
ments, but other organizations of employers, of
capital and Of investing interests were represented
in those who presented united front against the
strikers"
And how about the working class, to whom the
labor takers of the Jewell type denounce the united
front of labor as propoecd by the Communists and
the Trade Union Educational League as a thing
of evil? Were the workers, even on the railroads,
all in a united front against the acknowledged
united front of all capitalists? Not by long way
1t is Mr.. Jewell and his kind who made no effort
to complete the unity of all railroad workers, in
fact they constituted the obstruction to unity The
disgraceful state of affairs which alowed-and even
forced-seven railroad crafts to remain at work as
union scabs, while the other nine were on strike
and walking the picket line, this is the direct
responsibility of Jewell and his kind.
1t is a vain thing to point out that some of the
railroad systems were crippled by the strike. The
united front of the whole employing class and in
vesting interests took good of the Gloss" That
is what united front is for. But solely by reason
Of the treachery of union officials, with Jewell at
their head, other crafts and other workers in
various industries were prevented from aiding the
shopmen Let us have united front of labor, and
let us GUST the Jewels who try to prevent it.

The Free State and the Famine

The Free State government and its agents in the
Irish labor movement are trying to play down the
reports of the Irish famine.
Having done little to relieve the distress of the
100000 starving workers and peasants, the Free
State government has sunk to the lowest depths of
infamy in spreading stories minimizing the serious
ness of the situation in order to conceal its own
incompetency.
Such betrayal as this is to be expected from the
choicest collection of agents of British imperial
ism that has ever cursed Ireland.
The work of collecting funds for the relief of the
famine district must be carried on with renewed
vigor and the Free State government exposed to
those in the United States who now support it as
the blacklist of all the puppet governments which
serve the purposes of the British imperialists.

= Good Woman. She has been
working hard at the job OF being
q good woman for thirty years.
Theoretically, one surveys such
record with awe and admira-
tion. Practically one shudders at
the thought Of all the Cain she
must have raised. For Agnes is
that kind of a Good Woman who
never allows her Righteousness
TO be tempered with Humor. And
who is so busy praying that she
foreets to use that equally divine
expedient Sense. They may nave
some fine schemes for handling
such saints in heaven, but they
certainly do complicate living
here below.
Agnes husband discovered that
fact when he married her, four
teen years ago. Their boy, BILL
aged twelve, is just beginning to
realize it. And it's dawning on
Agnes herself that something
wrong. But what can she do
about it? She can't go against
her conscience, can she? And,
when her conscience tells her that
she should Speak to Edwin or
William For Their Good, shouldn'
she speak?
No, there's nothing vicious
about either of them. Just Little
Things that Agnes notices be.
cause she loves them So Little
careless ways, silly streaks, noisy
man-stuff. And, of course, it's
her duty to speak Of these things
as wife and mother, isn't it? Her
Solemn Duty.
Yet, when she does speak, they
misunderstood her so dreadfully.
Get cross and snap at her, or
sulk as if it wasn't any OF her
business. Once or twice she's
actually Caught Them In Fibs!
1t nearly broke her heart. To
think that they should deliberate
ly deceive her when she's work
ing for their own good! So won't
I write a little article and make
husbands and children see how
grateful they ought to be for
such loving care?
I'll write the article, sister. But
L won't guarantee any large re-
turns in gratitude. For I've
run up against that loving care"
stuff myself AS far as l was
concerned it was Pure Ptomain.
So, instead of agreeing with you,
Agnes, I'm going to tell you
some wholesome, but bitter. truths
about the duty Of wives and
mothers.
The first great duty of any
wife or mother is to be able to
LOOK THE OTHER WAY. 1t is
her duty to love and serve, but
