MOsul Award Approved
BY House of Commons

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The British la.
Dor party turned tail yesterday and
ran away from taking a position on
the league of nations and the MosuI
oil land steal. The labor party mem
bers withdrew from the house Of COM
mons rather than vote for or against

to lrak, the puppet nation Of Great
Britain, Of the immensely valuable
Mosul oil district. The award was, Of
course, approved by a vote Of 2s9 to 4.
An Awful Fix.
In vain did the socialist leaders,
Ramsay Mcdonald and John R. Clynes,
beg Prime Minister Baldwin not to
force them to take a definite stand,
explaining that they, the leaders Of
the Second International, were in a
dilemma, unwilling to be held up by
Communist ridicule for voting for such
an outrageous imperialist steal as the
Mosul award, yet bound by their bour-
geois heart strings to the league of
nations, not to vote against its
award.
Considering the dilemma, which to
socialist was quite appalling, the la
Dor party members held a conference
and decided not to vote at all, and to
absent themselves when the matter
came up. Clynes led the walkout as
Macdonald found it necessary to leave

Arkansas and Texas

Especial 70 The Daily Workerl

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 22.-The
nonpartisan elements will receive sew
eral joIts this coming national cam
paien for congress in the year 1926.
Texas and Arkansas have Joined for
ees for a labor party. The Texas
farmers and some Of the wage work
ers have decided to launch a real op-
position party to the old bag, the de-
mocrate party, on March 1915 at a
convention TO be held at Forth Worth,
when complete ticket will be put In
the field.
Altho Arkansas does not show as
much pep. as yet, as Texas, the farm
ers there have decided, that since con-
gress is ruled by party committees
and if the farmers want any commit
tees they will have to have party of
their own to get them and not depend
on the good men" to run "independ-
ent" for them. The Longworth vic
tory for the committee rule will help
drive their forces to fight for and in
labor party.
There is too much of splendid $50
lation on the part of the "independ-
ent" candidate.
The Farm Labor Union Of the
United States has quit the democratic
party and will no longer participate
in the primaries of that party. That
will leave the membership Of that
large farm organization free to join
the forces of the labor party, and it is
predicted that many thousands of
them will do so in Texas, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and in other southern
states where that organization func-
lions.
E. R. Meitzen Of Texarkana, Tex
Ark, is chairman secretary OF the
Texas committee for the labor party
and has a group of good substantial
men behind him in the preliminary
organization.

EDISON PLANT
UNSUCCESSFUL
GETTING SCABS
Employment Manager
Throws Some Bunk

The picket line at the Edison EIec-
trio Appliance company, Sind avenue
and 18th street, turned back a num-
Der of electrical workers, who had
entered the employment Office and
were seeking work. The company is
very anxious to get scabs into the
plant as the number OF those in the
plant continues to grow smaller.
In Union There Is Strength.
The employment manager, unsuc-
cessful in his attempts to hire any
scabs declared to the sheet metal
workers on strike, "Why don't you
settle with the company yourselves
instead of thru the union?" and then
he went on to say that if the union
was recognized only six or seven OF
the workers would be allowed to work
and all such bunk. His TRADE on the
unions had little effect on the strik-
ers, who know that the minute they
dicker with the company as individ-
uals they will be crushed and that
their strength lies in their organized
power in the union.
