BRITISH GOVT.
TO CONSCRIPT
RAIL WORKERS
Starts Official Scab
Army R. R. Service
special TO Ths Daily Worker!

LONDON, Jan. ~ British
railworkers are up in arms
against the attempt of the gov
eminent to enroll railworkers
in a new branch Of the army
known as the army supplement-
airy eserve, transportation
branch, intended as an armed
strike breaking agency, subject
to military discipline.
The four great railroad companies
Of Great Britain are collaborating with
the war Office In raising units for this
service. Though inclined to be evas-
i've regarding the use Of these railway
mems units, the war Office admits
that they would be used in "the gray
est emergency" defining emergency"
thus:
A "erave Emergency Defined
IF we had anything like civil war
or something that would hold up the
essential services Of the state, the
reserve might be called up and these
railwaymen might be called up"
Remembering now the government
turned London into an armed camp
in 1921, in expectation Of a Triple Al
lance strike (incidently Turing starv-
ing unemployed workers into the army
with recruiting posters on which
PLENTY to Eat!" was displayed in
large type), is is evident that railroad
men who join these units will be used
both as strikebreakers and as muir
derers Of their fellow-workers.
The railworkers realize the sinister
motive back Of this move of the bosses
and the war office, for they know
that the bosses know that the National
Union Of Railwaymen is about TO put
forward a national demand for a wage
increase, in an effort to win back
something Of what they have lost in
the past years.
Feeling is running high among the
men, and when army officers accom-
panied by a company representative
tried to hold a recruiting meeting
recently at the freight station Of the
London and NORTHEASTERN Railway,
the men jeered them angrily, and
rushed them out to the street.

ONLY ONE PARTY
UNITES WORK RS
AND FARMERS
How Capitalists Try to
Divide Them
BY ALFRED kNuTsoN


Especial 70 inc Daily WorkeFl
BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 27.-What
ever Misunderstanding there now is
between poor working farmers and in
dustrial workers is due to propaganda
by the capitalist press, the aim Of
which is to keep them divided, in or
der that the capitalists can the more
readily exploit both.
The capitalists know very well that
If the two groups of workers unite
against them, their rule will not last
long. and their strategy, therefore, is
to keep them apart by causing dis
sension among them.
They Never Mention Profit.
They are telling the farmers, for
example, that he pays high prices for
industrial products because wages are
high, and the worker in the industries
that farm products are dear because
the farmer is trying to "hog it ALL
Never word about what the capital.
list himself Is getting away with.
This scheme of dividing the land
and the city workers is becoming less
effective as the class consciousness
OF the workers in both groups grows.
Many workers in the United States
are now beginning to understand that
they must get together on a revolu-
tionary basis, in order to make any
Roadway against the capitalists and
their government.
The Only Party That Fights
The only party and organization in
the United States that can unite the
farmers and the workers and lead
them in a successful struggle against
their capitalist exploiters, is the revo-
lutionary Workers (Communist) Par
ty. This party is the only party in
the country today that is fearlessly
and uncompromisingly fighting on the
side OF the poor tenant, the bankrupt
and mortgaged farmer.
This is the party every struggling
farmer is invited to join because it
alone has a real solution for this
problems. 1t is a new party and Is
only beginning to have influence
among the farmers Of America. but
the fact that it is the one political
party In the country that Is making a
real effort to solve the agricultural
problems, in a fundamental sense. is
bound to make it grow swiftly and
give 1t prestige and power.

Many Fights in Legislature.
The battle between those who are
trying to abolish child labor, and the
manufacturers and their bought and
paid for solons, is now raging over the
entire country. The lower house Of
Oklahoma has defeated ratification of
the child labor amendment by vote
Of 81 to "a. The senate postponed
consideration of the amendment.
Ratification by the Arizona legisla-
ture was practically assured when the
senate, sitting as a committee of the
whole, unanimously recommended
that the ratification resolution be
passed. The house has passed the
resolution ratifying the amendment
by a vote of Al to 8.
The constitutional amendment COM
mittee Of the Texas senate, by vote
Of five to one, voted to refuse to rati-
fy the child labor amendment.
The resolution ratifying the amend
ment has been introduced in the Iowa
Legislature, and hard fight is ex-
pected there.
In New York state Governor AL
Smith is aiding the manufacturers
who oppose the amendment, by trying
to put the amendment to a referen-
dunn, which would mean a delay of
many months.
Would Not Abolish Child Labor.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
points out that the child labor amend
ment does not mean that child labor
would be abolished, but would only
empower congress to regulate labor
Of children under Is years Of age.
They declare that only the establish
ment of the control Of industry and
government by the working class
will abolish child labor for all time
AS long as the profit system exists,
child labor will continue.
Wants Indian Childhood for Whites.
NEW YORK.-"Our present system
which the (child labor) amendment is
aimed to remedy, permits a more brut-
al treatment Of children than can be
found anywhere in so-called savage
ry," declares Wilson d. Wallis, Uni
versity of Minnesota, in a communi-
cation to the National Child Labor
Committee, New York. "There is no
oppressive child labor among Ameri-
can Indians, none among African Ne
gro tribes, none in the islands Of the
Pacific. l would welcome a return to
conditions in this country which would
give to every American child as happy

could claim"

Jap AN WORKERS
STRUGGLE WITH
THEIR MASTERS
Agitation GrOws For
Labor Government


TOKYO, Japan, Jan. 27-FoI-
lowing the recognition of Soviet
Russia by the imperiaIist gov
eminent of Japan, the workers
Of Japan have inaugurated a
mass movement for a labor gov
eminent and for a workingclass
party.
The government, in a attempt to
beat down the growing demand for
working class participation in politics
and industry, is sending military Of.
ficers thruout the country, and thru
fascist societies, is trying to break up
the move Of the workers against their
exploiters.
The Japanese workers, realizing
that they are likely to receive the
ballot in the near future, are attempt
ing to form a workers party. The
Japanese Sailors union, with $4,000
members, and the government employ
es are taking the lead in the move to
form this party.
The members Of the political study
association, a group Of intellectual,
petty bourgeois socialists, has also
made move for the formation Of a
labor party, under the leadership of
Professor Ikuwo oyama Of waseds
university, Tokyo.
MiIItarislng Schools
The Japanese imperialist govern
ment is taking strenuous measures
to stave og the growing class con-
seriousness Of the Japanese workers.
The government is now placing mill
tary officer in sympathy with the i'm
perialist government in every public
school in Japan.
Eleven educational organizations
have passed resolutions condemning
the military training in the public
schools. They have asked the minis.
ter Of education to resign. Yukio
Ozaki, former minister of education,
professors Of universities, and other
leading public intellectuals are pro.
testing against the proposal to mill
tarize the school children. Most OF
the magazines and newspapers are al
so condemning it.
Fascist Fight Workers
The fascist organizations, including
the national pillar society, the society
for the prevention Of radicalism, the
patriotic students league, and veter-
ans associations are spreading pro-
paganda for the measure. They held
a two day demonstration in favor of
militarizing the schools, and prayed
to their national god to protect the
emperor and his country. They held
meetings in Is different Japanese
cities.
Yukio Ozaki was attacked by the
fascist and barely escaped assassina,

innocent party in a divorce. High
church men. led by the Rev. DR..

the one proviso which permits
clergymen to solemnize the mar

rallied in force behind George w.
