Big CapitaliSm's Party

The senate has adjourned but not before new
alignment of forces in the republican party was
made apparent. 1t is evident that the administra-
ton leaders believed that the removal of the LaFol
letteites from important committees and barring
them from the party caucus had broken up the
revolt of the midde-cass wing.
The weakness of the Coolidge leadership and the
influence of issues like the Dawes plan, still in the
political background but bound to be productive
of dissension, the many antitrust cases pending
but which action has been delayed, the vigorous
militarist policy of official Washington, have pre-
pared the ground for a internal struggle in
the party of American Imperialism in spite of the
disciplining of the insurgents
Borah of Idaho appears as leader Of this group
and it is probable that he will assume the role
that LaFollette played inside the republican party
for so many years
He has forced the Coolidge administration to
change its policy of nonrecognitiOn of Soviet Rus
STA and in the fight on Warren he appeared as the
real leader of the senate opposition. He wants
to be president just all other senator's do, he
wants it harder than most of them and he is now
in splendid strategic position to riddle the ranks
of his opponents.

the republican party needs and wants. Perhaps

Light on FGirmont Disaster

Mine Al of the Bethlehem Mines corporation,
Fairmont West Virginia, where "a miners bodies
are entombed, re-opened last October on a non
union basis.
Incidentally three workers have been arrested
by the officials owned by the coal company charged
with bombing the mine-a charge so ridiculous in
view of the terrible force of the explosion that the
attempt Of the company to cover up its negligence
is obvious.
The association of coal operators has adopted
the plan Of shutting down mines for period suf-
fciently long to make the misery of the jobless
miners nearly intolerable; the mines are then re-
opened on an open shop basis
The Fairmont disaster is terrible proof of the
danger of this policy to lives well as wages of
miners. The mines, after a shutdown, are in poor
condition. The companies know that those miners
who accept their terms in no position to
bubble over safety regulations; they must place
their lives in the hands of the superintendent and
other petty tyrants
The union has been driven out of the mines; their
sole protection is gone.
This is the lesson of the Fairmont slaughter
that the open shop is actually drive against not
only the wages and living conditions of the coal
miners but their lives as well.
Workers are cheap!
Mines can be insured
Drive the men and to hell with danger from gas
and powder!
There are more miners where these come from !!
These are the slogans of the coal operators
greedy, murderous and powerful.
Stick to the union
Rally to the program of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League and the Workers Communist Party
Fight the open shop!

Class Government

The United States supreme court has decided
that the federal trade commission, even tho
acting under orders from the senate has no power
to examine the books Of corporations to determine
profits, combinations in restraint of trade or any
other questions that might be the basis Of future
legislation.
The opinion is the result of an investigation by
the federal trade commission to discover the condi
lions in foreign markets affecting the price of
grain. The particular company involved, Balti-
more concern, received favorable decision from
the district court and this decision the supreme
court upheld.
The case is a sample of the favored position
occupied by proftmaking concerns as against
that of the masses. Trusts and monopolies by rea-
son of this ruling can engage in conspiracies to
raise prices but the federal trade commission, a
body that is probably as impartial as an agency
Of capitalist government can be, can secure no
information of the transactions by ordinary
methods.
Contrast this position of exploiting corporations
before the law with that of a worker suspected
of radical or revolutionary tendencies. He will be
thrown into Jail after his house has been raided
the police secret service agents will have ried
his books and papers and the documents so Sc
cured will be used as evidence against him. The
same is true of working class organizations.
In the injunction case against the striking rail
way shOpmen the department of justice had hun
dreds of agents pryng into the books Of the unions
and strike committees, collecting a~mass of docu-
mentary evidence" that was made the basis of
the successful injunction.
Yet there is still large section of the American
working class that fails to see the class bias in
the American system of government.
Communists did not create the theory of the
class nature of capitalist government for lack of
something else to do. They have merely stated in
an easily understandable formula the facts as
they exist
The Communists could not prove their case if
it were not for thousands of instances like the
supreme court opinion mentioned here-proofs fur
nished by the capitalist class and their govern
ment

The Case of LGnzutSkv

Yesterday we published an appeal for aid for a
Polish worker Stanislav Lanzutsky whose ex-
posture i'm parliament of the brutality and corrup-
tion of the Polish government has brought him face
to face with the gallows. This is the fate that
Polish capitalism, the creature of French imperial
ism, hands out to those of the working class who
rebel against its tyranny.
Lanzutsky is a Communist He was elected by
the Polish workers TO speak for them and judged
.-en by the elastic code of bourgeois democracy,
his trial and the threat of death is an outrage.
The Communist Party Of Poland is illegal. So
are many of the unions. The Polish capitalists
and landlords have made every effort TO crush all
resistance in the working class
Here is opportunity for the liberals who pirate
forever of the blessing Of capitalist democracy.
Some Of them are much concerned over the i'm
prsonment of counterrevoutionists in Soviet
Russia. Let us see how they react to the persecu-
ton of Stanisav Lanzutsky.
In the meantime the capitalist government of the
United States and the representatives Of Polish
capitalism must be made 10 understand that even

Dictatorship VS.. Democracy.
The meeting proved very valuable
lesson to the workers of Milwaukee.
They had an opportunity to see the
social democrats at work. They could
see how the disciples of Noske align
themselves with the capitalists and
use brutal force to suppress the
workers. They could see that there
is no limit to the brutality of the
disciples of the Second yellow So
cialist) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for
the murder of Karl Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg.
The hypocrisy of the white terrorist
crying for mercy was fully exposed.
The policemen's club directed by the
socialist brain was a weighty argu-
ment for the proletarian Dictatorship.
Most of the workers expressed the
opinion that if the followers OF
Abramovich find the Solovetz Island
too cold for their health that they
should be sent without delay to a
much hotter climate.
