THE editor of the official organ Of
l the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union is an anarchist, but
not of the kind associated in the pub
lie imagination with struggles against
the powers that be, and sacrifice for
unpopular causes. This fellows name
Is Yanovsky and more confirmed
Iickspittle it is hard to find. In
recent issue Of his paper, while COM
menting on the accomplishments or
the general executive board, he men
toned the presentation Of a marble
bust Of Gompers to the noted faker, at
the Ell Paso convention, Xanovsky
said: 1t had fttingly ex-
pressed the high regard and love 1t
had for him for many years past. In
addition the international has, by vir-
tue Of this act, gained for itself the
friendship and recognition Of host
OF organizations and leaders in the
American labor movement" This is
the way the yellow socialists and an
archists purchase the recognition" of
the bureaucratic, that and by expell-
Ing radicals.
n TTORNEY GENERAL STONE
~ proves his fitness for a seat on
the supreme court bench by his ac-
ton in nolle pressing the indictments
against several wealthy members Of
the council Of national defense. These
patriots took advantage Of their po-
sition on the council by robbing the
government. One Of them was for
mer secretary of war, and no doubt,
was an adept in the art Of connect
ing with easy money. Perhaps he did
not treat Daugherty right and drew
an Indictment.
DERGER and Calvin Coolidge are
- putting up united front in trying
to keep the republicans who support
ed LaFollette during the last election
out OF the republican party. Berger
hopes that this isolation will compel
those wobbly pioneers to throw in
their lot with the third party" which
he hopes will be organized on or
after next February "a, when the con-
vention OF the conference for pro-
gressive political action will be held.
But the "progressives" are canny poll
ticians and realize that there is very
little sentiment at the present time
for new petty bourgeois party. They
are singing low.

n Bob's" followers who thought they
had laugh at the Communists last
fall, when the Wisconsin wildcat came
ont with a whitening broadside at the
radicals before the June II conven-
ton, which LaFollette wanted to de-
stroy. One of the charges made by
LaFollette against the Communists
was that they were boring from with
in, the. ''progressivA" organizations,
which they had no right to do. Evil
IDENTIFY the managers of the G. o. P.
steamroller took "Bob's" views on Dor
ing from within seriously, so he and
his friends are now on the outside Of
the republican caucus, looking in
longingly. Those who laugh last, laugh
longest.
THE Germans have another scan
l dal ON their hands. Last week the
socialists were involved when it was
learned that their leaders, while in
control of the government turned over
millions of dollars to a certain con-
Germ, headed by an enterprising
gentleman named Barmat. This time
the nationalists are involved. They
went one better than the socialists.
Where the latter dealt in millions,
the nationalists handed out hundreds
of millions. When the scandal in
volving the Luther government was
first made public, Vorwaerts joined
the anvil chorus of attack, but strange
to relate on the day following 1t, shut
up like clam. Why? Think 1t over,
the brain exercise will prove more
mentally invigorating than solving
crossword puzzles.
n ND little Austria is going under
n the hammerl Things are very
bad in Vienna, the capital Of the
league of nations little pet. The
bourgeoisie are taxed to death by the
social democrats, say the bourgeoisie,
hence business is on the bum. OF
course, Vienna being ruled by the So
cialists, perfect democracy prevails
there. No dictatorship for them
The employers own their own shops
and the workers slave for them just
as under the Hapsburgs. A few weeks
ago the comparatively owned bakery,
rGn by the socialists. was purchased
by capitalist concern. Now that the
league OF nations refuses to spoon
feed its little ward any longer, the
workers must be ready for another
