AS WE SEE IT.
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

THE revolt of the masses in the
4 colonies of the imperialist powers
is causing deep concern among the
ruling classes of the world. Every
capitalist government is between two
fires: that of the most class conscious
Of the workers at home and their
revolving slaves abroad. In China
the demand for war with Great
Britain is growing stronger every day.
Britain is in no position to crush
China. Her own working class would
never stand for it.
A MOTHER revolt is threatened in
India. The British foreign office
is getting ready to unload the blame
on Soviet Russia. There are over
S00,O0O,O0O of people in India and
400,OO0,000 or more in China. Quite
formidable army! With the Chi
nese masses moving and defying the
power of the imperiaIists, the Hin
docs should not hesitate to tackle the
job of freeing themselves from the
yoke of Britain. John Bull stands to
be the biggest loser in the big game
now being played in the Orient
In northern Africa the Rifians are
: more than holding their own. The
French government was driven in
desperation to arrest over one hun
dred Communists on charges of aid
ing the Moroccans. What a crime.
considering the fact that Caillaux, the
real leader of the present French
government, was admittedly in
cahoots With the German government
at a critical period of the war. The
Communists of France support the
Riffian tribesmen in their war for lib
Grafton, even tho they are fighting
against France. Communists know no
country but the welfare of the work
ers of all lands.
IN England the class conscious
I workers are supporting the Chinese
even tho the Chinese are demanding
war against Great Britain. But the
Chinese are not demanding war
against the British workers. They
will fight the British imperialists and
their agents. This alliance between
the colonial slaves and the industrial
workers in the heart of the imperial
list powers is a very cheering phe-
nomenon.
ONE Of the most remarkable meet
- ings that have ever attended
was held in this city a few evenings
ago. when workers of all races and
almost all colors gathered together
to raise their voices against world inn
perialism, and--as the meeting was
held in the United States-particular
ly against American Imperialism. The
chairman OF the meeting was young
Negro who showed by his beaming
countenance that he appreciated the
significance of the occasion. More
than a score of young Chinese at
tended, and three of them took the
platform and spoke, one Of them
speaking in his native tongue.
TT was protest against imperial
ism in China. but not the usual
kind Of an academic contest Repre-
1entatiyes Of the most oppressed vic.
tins CT Imperialism were there: Ne
gro and Chinese workers and stu
dents. Many comrades who have at.
tended thousands of radical meetings
said that a thrill such as they only
experienced rarely stirred their emo
tons when the voices Of white, black
and yellow workers were raised
against the-common enemy.

in the meantime to cooperate
with the other governments re-
presented at Picking and to leave
the Chinese problem to be
handled largely by the diplo-
mats in the Far East.
"For the Time Being"
This policy is being adhered to for
the time being chiefly because, ac-
cording to officials here, it is the only
policy that the United States can have
in the circumstances. Secretary Kel-
logg is now awaiting the arrival of
the new American minister, John v.
A. MacMurray, at Picking, and does
not want to take any new step until
he has given MacMurray an opportun-
ity to survey the situation and report
upon the new political conditions
growing out of civil war and anti-im-
perialist movements in coastal cities.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the government, however, to
take more aggressive attitude to-
ward China, such as the serving of
formal notice on the Peking IL -eign
office, direct from Washington, that
the United States expects its interests
in the orient to be fully protected at
all times. An appeal to this effect
has reached here from the American
association of China, the petitioners
charging that China is falling to live
up to her treaty obligations and that
it is up to the United States to make
her do 1t by force of arms if neces.
sary.
He Wants To-But Dare Not
There is no doubt that Secretary
Kellogg would be pleased to take any
action that would accomplish such a
purpose but in view of present condi-
tons in China he does not feel that
much would be accomplished by di-
recting a sharp note to the Picking
government The difficulty is, accord
ing to official statement, that the
Peking government has little or no
authority outside of the city of Pek-
ing and that separate demands from
Washington might only stir up more
trouble for the diplomats in the
Chinese capital to deal with. The real
reason, however, is the fear that Jan.

At LABOR COUNCIL

At the meeting Of the Central La

a review of city affairs leading un to

Mr.. Wieland addressed the coun-

NEW YORK, April 23.-The intro
duction Of the sanitary-union label
into the cloak, suit and skirt indus
tries is the outstanding feature of the
advanced relations between employer

Joint Board of Sanitary Control which
supervises its sales has sold 4,50O,0O0
labels in the one branch of the indus
try this season. It means that this
number of garments, union made and
produced in the most healthful work
, shops, have been distributed to re-
tailSrs throughout the country from
this market.
DR.. Henry MoskOwitz, label direc-

HIGH COST MACHINERY
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
CANADA'S DEPRESSION
By international Labor News Service

MONTREAL, Can, April 23.-
"Canada's failure to make a salts
factory recovery from postwar busi-
ness slump has been due to the high
cost of machinery rather than to the
high cost of labor or living" re-
marked an American manufactures
who operates a branch plant in Can
ada.
That is perhaps not a paradox,
but, rather a half truth. However,
it is necessary to study the role of
machinery to understand Canada's
recent relative lack of progress. That
role is of first Importance, as well
for its effects upon business as upon
the status of labor.
Fewer Workers Employed
Canada's manufacturing industries
employed 27,OO0 fewer persons in
1922 than they did in 1911, according
to Government statistics, the accu-
racy of which there is unfortunately
little cause to question; yet, thanks
to improved machinery, the quantity
production of such industries in 1922
was nearly so per cent greater than
in 1911, and the value production just
100 per cent greater.
The capital investment in 1922 was
about $50 per cent greater than in
1911, this increase being largely rep
resented by improved machines or
additional machines. If this increas-
ed capital investment had been ex-
pended on homemade machinery,
Canadian machine manufacturing in
dustries would certainly have shown
a considerable expansion, and the

Labor Press of America, for the
seventh time has been elected a MEM
Der of the Springfield Board of Edu-

is big victory for organized labor.
Mr.. Woodmansee has been a mem

years, having been first elected in
1908. At that time the school board
was operating under a special chart
er and Woodmansee was elected by
the City Council by unanimous vote
for three years. In 1911, when the
Board of Education passed out from
under the special charter and went
under the general law, there were %
candidates for the Board of Educa-
tion, of which seven were to be elect
ed. Woodmansee was chosen as one
of the seven and drew two-year
term. He was reelected in 1913,
1916, 1919, 1922 and again this year,
fqr. three years each. At each ,elec-
ton he carried the ticket and receiy-

The International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, in common with
other international unions is proud
Of its past, but at the same time it
rests in the firm conviction that to
it-perhaps more than any other
group of workers-belongs the fu-
ture.
This gives this large and growing
organization a look of youth and
an aspect of buoyancy denied to some
other of the workers clan. The fu-
ture belongs to the electrical work.
ers, they believe, because the era OF
steam is passing, and the electric era
is just opening.
Electrical Industry Advances
Here are some of the new worlds
which the electrical workers are
conquering:
l. Radio with all it tremendous
possibilities. The radio industry did
a $3.50, 100000 business last year. 1t
will do billion dollar business five
years from now.
2. Giant Power-Sooner than most
of us imagine, the work of the world
will be done by electricity. Sooner
than we guess, there will be one large
interconnected electric system serv-
ing all the cities and rural districts
of the United States.
3 Electrical Transportation.-Ele
trical locomotives are practical. More
and more railroads are electrifyinR.
Conscious of Destiny
When James p. Noonan, |. B. E.
W., international president, became
eighth vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to succeed
William Green, elected president to
succeed Samuel Gompers, he said. 'I
am consciousness that this honor IL
Pet, conferred upon me personally,
- upon the organization paprel'
sent. And in that spirit, I accept.
1t Is not uniting that an organiza-
tion that touches many departments
of activity should be represented in

Besides the railroads, the radio
field and the electric power field, the

in the building construction indus
