The daily worker., 1925-09-16


exacting food faddist, yet in a large
section of gods own country the.
ground is parched for want of moist
ure and he does not even shed a tear.
CIXTY thousand tons of Welsh an
~ thracite coal have been ordered
for the American market, because Of
the strike in the Pennsylvania fields
according to news reports. John L.
Lewis is hobnobbing with republican
party politicians. He is not taking
any steps to prevent the transporta-
ton OF European coal to the United
States. He is taking no steps to Sc
cure the support OF the workers in
the transportation industry, as the
British miners did. Lewis is not seek
ing the support of labor He prefers
to jockey with the capitalists.
THE United States light cruiser
4 Denver and the gunboat Tulsa
have arrived at Nicaragua ostensibly
to protect American lives, but really
to protect the interests of American
capitalists. This government cares
very little for lives. 1t cheerfully
sent over one hundred thousand Of
them to their doom in the late war
and is willing to send twenty times
that many to like fate in the fu-
ture. The army is organized and
built to protect the interests Of our
rulers from their foes, which are
sometimes the slaves whom they ex-
ploit
TKTfIEN the advertisements tell the
w iobless worker that he can see
the world by joining the navy, he is
not being bamboozled Surely he may
see the world, because the world is
Wall Streets country. There Is hardly
SPOT on the earth where the dollar
Is not invested and the flag follows
the dollar. To protect that dollar and
its family Of nickles, dimes, quarters
and half dollars, the lives of American
workingrnen are offered up on the sill
yer altar OF mammon every year.
DRINCE PHILIP OF Hesse, protest
1 ant, is engaged to marry princess
Matal1ia OF italy, a catholic This
Is q damnable alliance IN the official
eyes Of the catholic church and
should the daughter OF bricklayer
or plumber contract it, her soul
would be Immediately consigned for
all time to an atmosphere of brim-
stone, unless she succeeded in bring
ing her spouse to recognize the pope
as the successor of St Peter, the
Jerusalem mackerel catcher.
TN the past, when the vatican grant
ed permission for catholic cere-
mony uniting two Of diverse faiths,
the nuptial mass was omitted But
those were the days when dough was
not as scarce as it Is now So in the
marriage Of thu protestant prince and
the catholic princess, his holiness re-
verses himself like good politician,
and aIluwD 2 nupfiAi mass to be cele-
brHted- There was time when
pope conld have torn the protestant
princess tongue ont Of his infdel
head with red hot pincers, and In the
name Of god too The world does
move Just the same.
THE anti-imperiaiist resolution
passed by the British Trade I'm
ion Congress was ono Of the most i'm
portant ever passed by that body. 1t
hits old J. Bull right where he lives
1t shows that the British workers
have finally lost confidence In 'the
ability of the pirate empire to do
anything for them. This news was
considered important enuf to be
placed on the front page In the early
edition of last Sundays Herald-Ex-
aminer, Of Chicago. But it was care
fully omitted from later issues, and
the, story Of gang fight was put in
its place. This is the way capitalist
papers handle labor news.
THIS may be good time to call
your attention to the appeal for
funds now made by the DAILY
WORKER. We would much rather
use the space for news about the
class struggle, but we have no choice.
Unless you send us the money to keep
going, there will be no DAILY
WORKER to tell the truth about the
labor movement here and all over the
world. 1t is good to read the lists
Of contributors and learn that the
workers are responding so generously
TO the appeal. It shows that the
DAILY WORKER fills a need and
that It has friends among the work
ing class who are ready to make sac.
rinces for It. Bring on your dollars
