Million and Half Work

BY WIN. r. KRUSE.

A9PNNtai ~ NHI GeNy 'NA'N~ff
BERLIN (5y MaiD.-An alderman
conference Of the "Frlends Of the In
ternationaI Workers Aid" will be held
on Nov. 8, at Halle. One hundred and
eight delegates representing four hun
dred organizations in all parts Of the
country, with 10000 Individual mem
bers and one million and a half col
leetive members, will be represented
at this conference.
The organization was formed on
membership basis in March, 1924, and
has consistently maintained itself as
nop-political proletarian relief or,
ganization despite the most bitter at
tacks on the part of the old line social
democratic political leaders.
From the beginning the large num-
Der Of left social-democrats have been
active shoulder to shoulder with the
Communists and non-party elements.
in this important phase Of the class
struggle. The bureaucracy Of the
German trade unions. the A. G. d. B.,
opened a vigorous attack against the
/. w. A. as a Communist connection,
and the social-democratic press join
ed in the hue and cry, and the party
convention instructed its members TO
withdraw. Some of them did so but
many others, openly or under cover.
continued active support Of the work.
Workers Cannot be Drawn Out
While party pressure compelled the
more prominent members to sever Of
fetal connections, large numbers OF
proletarians continue to maintain
their activity and many local organic
atoms protested against this effort to
split the working class on this field.
On top Of this the active trade union
members of the I. W. A. committee in
England declined to receive the false
spy charges with which the German
reactionaries tried to mislead them.
In several instances the executives Of
the national organizations threatened
local bodies with expulsion if they did
not cease their support Of this relief
work but always with the result OF
making the local membership the
more determined to support 1t and
make it successful. In some cases
reports of the withdrawal Of organ
izations were published in the news
papers and afterwards proven to be
entirely false.
1t is expected that the coming con-
ference will result in the further ex-
tension of the organization and its
growth in strength and influence.

Reactionaries Prepare
to Employ Syndicalism
Laws Against Workers
q. [. o. News servlce)

The action of the United States SUI
preme court in dismissing without
opinion the appeal of Charlotte Anita
Whitney from a conviction under the
California syndicalist law coming on
the heels of the decision in the Gitlow
case proves conclusively that the re-
dictionaries have now forged the legal
weapon with which they can outlaw
the labor movement when the oppor-
tune time presents itself. At the
present time they are devoting their
main attentions to the radical wing Of
the movement but they mean to de-
stroy every organization of the work
ers that interfere with their rule.
Anita Whitney was sentenced to
serve ii years in prison for attending
an organization meeting of the Com
munist Labor Party in 1919.
Recently the same supreme court
over which the Carnegie pensioner,
William Howard Taft presides, upheld
the constitutionality of the New York
criminal anarchy law on test case
made by Benjamin Gitlow. These ac-
tions emphasize the necessity for the
building up of a powerful defense or
ganization.

Even Missing Links"
in Evolution Benefit
for Minneapolis Labor
BY FRANCES M. DIcKEY
Worker Correspondent.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. l.
Scarcely a dozen Of the 14S local un-
ions supposed to be organized here
turned out for the parade staged Sat
urday night by the A. F. Of L. as part
of the Evolution Show" being held to
raise funds for the erection of a labor
temple.
Managers of the affair tried to hide
the lack of unions by letting fly huge
American flags over each section Of
marchers. The only hint of working
class spirit about it came when a
group OF on-lookers Unexpectedly
shouted. "All hail to the Red Inter
national of Labor Unions"
But at any rate, the evolution show
is put on for good purpose, both
practically and ideologically. Baby
monkeys, adult monkeys, and apes as
we'll are on exhibition TO demonstrate
the various links from brute to man.
Even some missing" links are there.
The exhibition is held in the state arm
ory and the animals have been

The A. F. Of L. and Militarism

mon practice coincident with the rise
of concentrated and centralized indus
try.
1t is significant that the use of fed
eral troops on large scale, under
the command of General Miles in the
American Railway strike of 1S93-94,
marks at the same time the begin
ming of those huge mergers which
brot into being powerful corporations
like United States Steel. With the
enactment of a huge tariff law such
gigantic combinations sprung up al
most over night and the record of
American political life for this period
is one of unexampled corruption.
But corruption soon gave place to
settled policy and since 1894 bayonets
and machine guns have blazed a
bloody path thru the ranks of strik-
ing workers-north, south, east and
west.
THE struggle of the American work
4 ers against militarism in all forms
IS predicted, therefore, not only on
the basis of the danger Of new i'm
perialist wars but on very practical
reasons bound up inextricably with
the life of the labor movement.
To any worker who reads the CAPT
talist press land what worker in
America does not?) the extensive pre-
parations for militarizing the masses
are too well-known to need further
proof.
The boy scouts, military training in
the schools and colleges, youths in
uniform in ever bloc Of the streets
of the large cities, nationwide cam
paigns for defense" broadside after
broadside in the press urging addi-
tional appropriations for all branches
of the military service, skeleton units
of the armed forces established paral-
lei with industry and citizens mill
tary training camps as the last link
in the chain with which the masses
are being tied to the war machine
of American Imperialism.
WET at Atlantic City not a single
i delegate spoke in favor of the
anti-militarist resolution, not even
the delegates of the Hat and Cap Max
ers who introduced under instructions
from the rank and file members OF
their union.
But Matthew Woll, reporting for

to the sentiments of the A. F. OF L.
officialdom.

Atty. Gen. Sargent,
Hailed by Liberals,
Proves a Reactionary

WASHINGTON, Nov. attorney
General Sargent has at last been
smoked out by criticism of his long
silence on the issue put up to him
by the Nugent-T minority Of
the federal trade commissioners to
whether the rules adopted by the
Humphrey Hunt-Van Flee majority
that the senate or house alone can
not order an investigation, is legal.
He finds that the rule is unsound,
and that the senate resolution de-
handing a probe of the bread trust.
and the senate resolution ordering an
inquiry into the General Electric pow
er trust, must be obeyed.
However, Sargent saves something
for Coolidge and Mellon. He says the
commission need not inquire into the
question of the use of funds by the
General Electric combine to discredit
municipal ownership Of power, as de-
manded in the Norris resolution.
And Sargent remains silent as to
his own willingness to begin prosecu-
ton Of the Mellon aluminium trust,
which was promised by Stone, his
predecessor. Sargent claims there is
nothing on the records Of the de-
partment" to show that any prosecu-
ton of the aluminium trust was ever
considered.
