Vienna Police Assist
Russian White Guards

VIENNA, - (By mail)-A congress
or Russian counter-revolutionist took
place here recently in which 108 dele
gates participated and decided to form
so-called national peoples league
1t must be stated that the Austrian
government gave voluntarily the
right of asylum for some days to
these counter-revolutionists while
it is less tolerant with regard to rev.
utionary workers.
The Vienna police pretends to have
known nothing about this congress.
1t is peculiar that it always knows
very well about Communists and rev
dictionary fugitives who come to
Austria. The social-democratic mem
Der of the workers delegation which

report his experiences to an Austrian

at the frontier and refused permits

The Chinese student Then-Shi was
expelled during the month of Sept
ember because he had committed
the crime of speaking in number Of
meetings Of the International Work

workers who are suppressed by inter-

The worker Dorm who was arrest
ed some time ago in demonstra-
ton in Vienna was not only expelled,
but has been kept under arrest for
weeks before his final expulsion. The
list Of the exjelled workers in Austria
is very long. All this shows that the
Austrian government and its police
are following the dictates of the CAPT
talist states, to persecute by all means
the revolutionary movement and to
offer protection and asylum to the
German fascist leader Russbach and
the Russian white guards.

eg This story of the pacifist turned
munition manufacturer closes the
book And at its conclusion we must
admit that it is well worth reading.
Not that Mr.. Lochner interprets Ford
in the light of politics and economies
That he does not do He depicts him
as a stupid, plant, half-educated,
gullible creature, who finds himself
at the head of one of the worlds
largest combinations of wealth; pos
sibly the richest man in the world
and unique in that he depends upon
no other capitalists. The motivating
forces that created Ford's wealth are
not touched upon, which is just as
we'll Certainly Mr.. Lochner, himself
Ia pacifist and sentimentalist, is not
the man to estimate Ford otherwise
than he did. The book as it stands
is a valuable addition to the library
of the revolutionist. 1t strengthens
the contempt we hold for the bollr-
geois swine thrown upon the stage of
history. 1t is just as well that Mr.
Ford considers that history is bunk
because history will deal rudely with
him. Mr. Lochner's book is one stone
in the monument of shame that is
being erected to Ford during his own
lifetime
Henry Ford, Americas Don
Quixote," is the title of the book. If
Mr.. Ford was Don Quixote we cannot
resist the temptation to observe that

must have been the Sancho Panza.

Spielman's preface indicates that he
guard of labor officialdom but that
does not delude him as TO anti-red
indictments, when made by the agen-
cies. "The agitators and radicals he
says, interpreted in the language of
the open shopper, are those striving
for higher wages, shorter hours and
better working conditions"
While he touches on stoolpigeon
honeycombing in the A. r. of L. I'M
ions including miners, machinists and
printers, and in the /. w. w. and the
Communist party, his principal con-
Germ is with the -four mills he was
charged with organizing. He shows
that the Marshall Service, with head
quarters in Kansas City, was employ
ed by the Pillsbury, Washburn-C Crosby
and other mills in Minneapolis. At
one time, in 1921, this agency actually
kept a decrepit local of Spielman's
union alive, because, as the Pillsbury
president wrote to the detective head,
"a weak organization of this type is
better than disorganized one, and a
reorganization later on"
But the employers were seldom
satisfied. Like all detective agencies
in labor work. the Marshall fed lies
to the boss at high prices and failed
to deliver the goods. A followup ep-
erative had to report to the agency
chief: 1.-THE trouble here is this, who
ever had this work before faxed their
reports and Crosby (the Minneapolis
Miller is suspicious of agencies"
In view of the pious reformation of
a number of radicals in Minneapolis
Spielman would probably delate the
extremely interesting history Of the
progressive insurgency of the Min
neapsffs Trades & Labor assembly
which looms large toward the end Of
his book.

and reduced to mere automatons,
whose labor power goes to pile up
the enormous profits for Mr. Henry

as a revelation.
If they imagine that Edsel Ford,
heir apparent to the Ford billions, is
whit more intelligent than his notori-
ously half-witted father, they should
read the account Of the musical ac-
complishments of Ford Junior. The
young mans idea of entertaining paci-
fist ladies' and gentlemen of the in
telligentsia is to play a drum solo
to the accompaniment OF an Edison
photograph. Those who had to smirk
and endure this afflictiton, like all
gentlemen and ladies must when the
fond parent is showing off the idiot
child were Nine. Rosika Schwimmer,
the Hungarian pacifist, and Mr.. Loeb
ner, the author of the book.
AS a drum Virtuoso. Edsel should
qualify for place in the United
States government alongside those
other eminent musicians-Mr. Dawes
who plays the fiddle and Mr.. Coolidge
who takes lessons on the saxaphone
The Ford slaves will also get a
thrill out of the description of the
ornate mansion at Dearborn their
master hired other slaves to build for
him. Henry gleefully displayed his
tile swimming pool and the magni-
ficent pipe organ installed in the place.

THE VOYAGE OF THE OSCAR II

the Ford expedition might have had
something to do with Overthrow of

however, for one cannot expect the

claim any permanent effect resulting
therefrom
We are grateful to Mr. Lochner for
revealing how Mr. Ford's spiritual adj
wiser held an influence over the fiv-
yer magnate comparable to that of
the monk Rasputin. over the czarina
of Russia. Not IN the same manner,
perhaps, but sufficient to induce Ford

Tho Mr.. Loehner denies the weird
tales of reporters to the effect that
the ladies and gentlemen aiding Mr..
Ford to spend his money for the pur-
pose of establishing peace before
Christmas INDUCED in excuses of
violence against each other, he does
admit there were some heated discus

acted as impressario for the peace
ship expedition, categorically denies
the story that he had Mr.. Ford tied
to his bunk in stateroom because
of the auto magnate's violent out
breaks against his brothers and sis
tiers in Christ.

found the expedition in Norway. The
decisive day was approaching. 1t was
the 23rd day of December. In forty

But steafthily and under cover OF
the penultimate night-the last but
one before the day of salvation

He sneaked out of his hotel. The ex-

purse strings still futtered to the paci-

were left to carry on the heroic, if
misunderstood, task after Christmas
had passed. Ford had gone, but they
