The Constitution Among Friends

Laws are made to be obeyed by some and en-
forced by others. The constitution of the United
States is honored by the ruling class when it suits
their purpose Any part of it that interferes with
their suppression of the working class is treated
with contempt. During the war it was treated
with hostility and anyone insisting on his consti
tutional rights to express his opinions found him
self enjoying the hospitality of government
prison. The situation is now different only in
degree.
The police have no legal right to prevent speak
ers from addressing meetings ON the streets of this
city, where meetings do not interfere with traffic
But they do it. Members of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party have been bundled into patrol
wagons and held under an old ordinance which
was declared unconstitutional by the supreme
court several years ago, for speaking on street
corners But that does not bother the police. They
keep on making arrests and putting the speakers
to the trouble Of securing bail and spending val
liable time in the courts
The police take action on the request of the bust
ness elements who do not like to have their petty
larceny business tricks exposed to the workers.
But their efforts to suppress the truth will prove
as ineffective as the attempt of old King Canute
to keep out the incoming tide with a broom.
The Workers (Communist) Party will fight for
the right to use the streets of Chicago in order to
bring the message of emancipation to the working
class. The capitalists will undoubtedly continue
to violate that part of the constitution which
guarantees the right of free speech and free as
semblage. They Will do this with the aid of their
police But this is an excellent way to teach the
workers something that they need to know very
badly. 1t is that this government is only fake
democracy. That it is the government of, by and
for the capitalists and the workers have no rights
except those in the exercise of which the workers
do not menace the power of the employers.
Only when the workers have their own govern
ment and when they own this country and all its
wealth, will they be able to enjoy the right of free
speech or any other right.

Equality" in India

1t must be admitted that England has ruled In
dia quite successfully-for the English exploiters
Ever since the first band of business burglars got
their pedal extremities on the soil of India the
British government has carried on a policy which
divided the Hindus, into two factions, the ruling
class who sold out to the money molochs of London
and the masses who were betrayal by the native
rulers in return for guarantee of security in the
possession of their wealth.
Britain has been very careful not to offend the
religious sensibilities disturb the superstitions
Of the Hindus. The imperial bagman went after
the substance and winked at the shadow The con-
quered could speak any language they saw fit,
worship any god they choose or follow any ancient
custom so long as the British capitalists could
make profit out of the exploitation of the natural
wealth of India and out of the cheap labor of the
Hindu workers. When in Rome, Britain does as
Rome does, provided Rome let's Britain get away
with the silver.
But the British ruling class draws the line
where the line should be drawn in the interests
of its power and prestige. The natives must be
shown that the white man is a superior person to
the brown man, that the white soldier is above the
brown soldier and that the brown soldier who is
used a tool to keep his people in slavery, is
somewhat higher in the social scale than the brown
native, the fellow Britain wants to keep at the
bottom.
The relative value in the imperial eye of a British
soldier Hindu soldier and a Hindu native can
be from the fact that whereas only 10 British
"Tommies" can be legally seated in a railway
COACH 20 Hindu soldiers can be packed into a
similar carriage and when used to transport
civilians, the railroad company is permitted to
jam Az native passengers into this travelling prison.
Thus one British soldier is worth than
three Hindu civilians. But the Hindus are learning
that British superiority is largely matter of more
guns and knowledge how to use them. They are
rapidly acquiring the knowledge and with knowl-
edge will come guns. Before long the British
soldier in India will not enjoy special favors.

Capitalist Hypocrisy

Calvin Coolidge, chairman of the executive com
mittee of the capitalist class, which rules this
country, is delivering the goods Tho his name will
never be inscribed on the honor roll of those who
have contributed something to the progress of the
human race, he deserves well of his masters and no
doubt will be handsomely rewarded by them.
At the very moment when the steel bulldogs Of
Wall Street we're growing at Japan from their
kennels in the Hawaiian islands, Coolidge de-
livered a speech on world peace in Washington.
twas the duty of the United States, he declared,
not only to look after American well being, but
also to contribute to the organization of all ma
tons toward universal peace. 'The same humanity
that has been able to erect the rule of law and
liberty in the scale Of great nations, will at last
find institutions by which to place international
relations in the same sure foundations" declared
the president.
This is hypocrisy of the first water. Talking Of
peace while the greatest armada that the United
States ever gathered together rehearsing for
a war with Japan, over the mastery of the Pacific
and the other spos of the Orient! This peace talk
is only camouhage to fool the masses into the be

OHIO MAKES STEEL.-By Max SaIzman

thru long strikes during which they

mines are shut down. Those that

The outlook of Ohio's coal miners who

Along the northern part of Ohio
on the shore of Lake Erie we find the
tremendous iron ore docks, when the
massive boats of the United States
Steel corporation dump the iron ore
which they bring from the iron min

Minnesota. There was a time when
the bulk of workers on these boats
were older workers, but now the great

Err more than any other English

swer the argument made by Surin,
General Secretary Zuckerman took
the floor His entire speech was an
attack upon, and complete misrepre-
sentation of the left wing in the Cap
makers Union. He made a personal
attack upon Delegate Sazar of New
ork, one of the leading left wingers
in the convention. The tone of his
remarks were of such a petty and
scurrilous character that he was in
terrupted several times by delegates

he attempted to say that the left
wingers at a meeting in New York

citing the issue of April 80, in which
he said the DAILY WORKER had re-

which greeted the closing of Fucker

motion by one of his own right wing

impartial and democratic Zaritsky

With coal in the southern part OF
the state and iron ore dumped on its

Ohio should be large steel center.

coal and this rusty ore finally merge

mined iron ore is brought to scab
docks by union railroad men. There
it is taken on scab run ships, dumped
into union run cars into scab steel
mills, where with the aid of union
mine coal it is turned into steel.
The outlook might appear black for
the steel workers and the coal miners
in Ohio who form the most import
ant part of Ohio's industries. 1t takes
black coal with red flames to turn
iron ore into steel. We can be GER

for these workers combined with the
redness of Communist ideas will steel

Communist Party of Russia is as great mystery
to the bourgeosie and their literary hacks as is the

The enemies of Soviet Russia have always hoped
for a split in the Russian Communist Party Every
difference Of opinion on questions of policy is
seized upon and magniied into the proportions of
a serious rupture During the discussion in the
party in 1929 the lying capitalist press had Zno-

That these reports were later on proven false did
not bother the purveyors Of adulterated news in
the least. They know that the Russian Commun-
list Party is the steel backbone of the Soviet Re
public. They know that if the R. G. P. was danger
ously weakened the end of the Soviet regime
would be in sight.
But the Russian workers and peasants also
realize that it is the Communist Party that led
them successfully thru the revolution that it has
guided the feet of the young republic thru the
trials and dangers of civil war and is now laying
the basis for a Communist society that will mean
the end of all exploitation and inequality
They know that this party is what stands be-
tween them and the bowling wolves of capitalism
who show their fangs on every frontier. They
know that if the Communist Party was broken
and it's leaders overthrown the czarist forces would
be back again supported by the bayonets of the
capitalist class of the world. This fate the work
and peasants do not want, so they stand behind
along the path marked out by the immortal Lenin.

were reported as concerned over his
attitude toward a professional ath-
