other one who does not mourn his ex-
pulsion." When such a greeting is
not repudiated, when expulsion can
be treated as joke, we can be ten,
times assured that it was justified.
THE incident was not a pleasant
one, and it injured the left wing
movement considerably. But every
such bad thing has certain good by
products. In this case it was the oc-
casion for a sharp jerking up of our
comrades and a stock-taking of those
bad tendencies in our movement
which hinder the growth of the left
wing. The result has been an ideolo-
gical house cleaning which, when it
is completed, will mark the real be-
ginning Of the left wing. in the A. C..
w. A.
THERE is still trace Of Hillmanism
in our party and in the left wing,
which will have to be overcome. It's
last remaining strength comes, in
terestingly enough, from an alliance
with an entirely different tendency
in our movement-with the ''left sick"
and syndicalistic elements. This spec
tacle of the right wing uniting with
the infantile left, is familiar one
in the international revolutionary
movement. 1t is due either to the
muddle headedness of the left-sick
ones, or to the fact that their left
phrases conceal a fundamentally OPP
portunist attitude to the problems of
the movement. AS to the real oppor-
tunists, they are, Of course, always
eager to grasp at any kind of alliances
which can help them create confusion.
THE way in which the revolution
/ airy movement fights against err
rors within it's ranks is to expose
them and show their falsity to the
entire movement.
XKTITHIN the clothing industry the
WV last obstacles to progress in
the building of a militant left wing
are just such errors as these. They
are our weaknesses, and to cure. them
we must expose them. We must point
out to the entire movement the false
ness and dangerousness of the oppor-
tunistic right wing element which is
afraid to denounce and fight against
the policies of class collaboration in
the union a fear which leads to such
actions as the signing of statements

The Child Labor Ldw-Its Lessons

The Michigan state legislature has defeated the
child labor amendment by passing the Culver reso-
luton for it's rejection. Q
Michigan, with its beet sugar industry is a
noisome hotbed of child slavery. Charles Warren
the Coolidge choice for attorney general, is also
an attorney for and director of number of large
sugar companies. Michigan jails Communists.
With the exception of some women's organiza-
tons who attracted to the child labor amend
ment because of its humanitarian character, the
class lines clearly drawn in the fight for it in
Michigan. Exploiters of labor and their retainers
were against the measure, labor organizations
for it.
The stubborn opposition to this bill, which would
deprive the capitalists of the service of some million
and half children, cannot be explained by this
fact alone.
The demand of the Communists for full govern
ment maintenance of the children of workers and
working farmers while they are of school age,
provision without which child labor law is an
empty gesture is not the sole reason for the panic
among the child robbers.
Both of these things are contributing factors
but underlying the miliondollar campaign of the
opponents of the amendment is the intention to
stop at all costs interference with and weakening of
the power of American capital to rob whom and
how it pleases.
The textile barons, premier ensayers of chill
dren, white and black the tobacco trust and other
low wage enterprises, are powerful by themselves
In this fight they have rallied almost every other
section of the capitalist class to their aid
The fight is not over and will not be over until
there is no single child of school age in industry
In the meantime, while the workers rally their
forces for new efforts, 1T would be well for the
pacsts and parliamentarians to ponder the lessons
of the fight for the child workers-to ask them
:
ly for protection of one of its small groups what
the prospects are for peaceful adjustment of the
major conflict between a robber class and the work
ing class.

Bill Johnston Of the Machinists' Union and VIII
liam Green, head of the American Federation of
Labor.
These officials are supposed by superficial OBJ
servers to represent three different tendencies in
the labor movement.
Actually all three stand for the same thing-the
handing over of the unions, bound hand and foot,
to the capitalists and the capitalist state.
In West Virginia, Warren Stone, as head of a
stock company composed of members of his union,
runs a scab coal mine.
In Delaware against the policy Of the other rail
way unions expressed in their official organ Labor,
he supports Coleman DuPont--the war-monging
munition maker and labor hater and officer of the
Morris Plan Bank-the biggest loan shark concern
in America.
"B. and O." Bill Johnston, president of the In
ternational Association of Machinists, is the
sponsor of the Baltimore and Ohio company union
scheme that has turned the railway shop crafts on
that system to the tender mercies of the rail
way company.
More than that we publish today the frsthand
information of the extension of this scheme to all
other unions on the B. and o. including the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers Johnston has done
good iob-for the bosses. He and Stone can
chuckle together in their luxurious Offices over the
way they have put it over on the men who pay
their huge salaries.
William Green, at the last meeting of the exec
utive council of the American Federation of Labor
held in Miami, Florida, announced that he stood
for Cancellation and understanding and against
all radical" tendencies. He wants labor to Gun
derstand" capital in the same way that Warren
Stone and Johnston do-by trying to play the
'brace" game of becoming capitalists.

Rx EARL 3. RRowpER.

I has proved to be one of the most
| difficult things to build the left
wing in the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, because of the lip-service
paid by the Hillman administration to
some progressive issues, such as sup
port to Soviet Russia, amalgamation,
and the labor party But in the past
year the masked reactionaries who
rule the A. G. w. have exposed them
selves so that all may see them in
their true nature-as bureaucrats of
the same lass-collaborationist stripe
as the Gompers' bureaucracy. There
can be no militant members of the
A. c. w. of A. who can longer doubt
the burning necessity of definite left
wing program and organization in or
der to fight to bring the union back to
the class struggle. This has been de-
monstrated to the most backward by
the past years development.
CUPPORT of the labor party was
- one of the Hillman administration
masks. They dropped completely,
after having sabotaged every move
for a labor party by attending con-
ferences as observers" and refusing
to lift finger or say a word. Sup
port of Soviet Russia was another
mask, but the projected million dol
lar fund" for Russian clothing fac
tories dwindled to a misery ten per
cent of that amount and was forgot
ten. A stand for amalgamation was
another mask, but the issue has been
ignored and laid aside, not a single
move being made to realize this vi
tally necessary measure. Glass strug-
gle was formerly at least recognized,
but today the president or the union
boasts of the abandonment of strug-
gle in favor of compromise and COLA
boration with the employers.
THUS has the objective situation
l been cleared and the foundation
prepared for left wing, clear in pro-
gram and strong insnumbers, in the
A.. c. w. of A. 3
THERE is still one obstacle to be
/ overcome before a strong left
wing can grow in the A. C. w. That

service to progressive measures.
There are still workers who claim to
belong to the left wing, who yet take
up the arguments of HilIman with all
their hollow mockery, and indirectly
fight for them within the left wing
movement itself. These remaining
Hillmanites within the left wing do
everything in their power to distract
the movement away from its construc-
tive task of building the revolutions

granN They have been forced to aban-
don open support of the administra-
ton, and so they fall back upon Sc
cret and indirect support, and the
use Of tricks against the left wing.
OUCH a trick" was the use made
- of a statement which several
members of the left wing allowed
themselves, thru their inexperience,
to be fooled into signing. The sign
ing Of the statement, which meant
to hand political weapon over to
political enemy, was an inexcusable
DAuAuCI OA buO part VI lnOpO ucLl-
bers. 1t was a demonstration Of that
confusion Of mind which is the prin-
cipal remaining obstacle before the
left wing.
THE Trade Union Educational
1 League branded the signing Of this
statement as crime against the left
wing and against the true interests
of the labor movement. This was
the first step toward correcting the
mistakes Of the left wing, toward
eliminating the last obstacles to it's
growth and development. The Work
ers Party took even more drastic ac-
ton toward those who were men,
bers Of the party, demanding that
the action be repudiated as a serious
blunder by those who committed it.
Those who undertook to defend the
stab in the back that had been given
to the left wing, who refused to admit
that it was mistake, were expelled
from the Workers Party. The party
of the revolutionary working class
cannot retain in its ranks those who
bring in with them and defend such
indefensible actions. It is reliably
reported that another ex-member of
our party, Salutsky, greeted one of
the expelled before a joint board
meeting with the words: Here is an

10000 Murders

Ten thousand murders per year in the United
States is the lowest possible estimate given by
Frederick Hoffman, expert criminal statistician
He says:
"My own record Of homicides is based on
death certificates in which deaths from Grim
inal violence are certified either medically or
by corOner's inquest. The record of 10000
murders year is probably an underestimate
of the actual facts. Death certificates in cases
of accident leave much to be desired and there
are substantial reasons for believing that many
cases are recorded as accidents which should
be certified as homicides."
This is quite a record for a nation that prides
itself on having the highest civilization on the
globe. When the satirists of Soviet Russia run
short of material for sarcastic euloges of western
capitalism they can do quite bit with this one
TACT.
1t would never do of course, to recognize a
workers and peasants government that makes its
principal cities entirely free from crimes OF
violence.
Ten thousand murders per year-well, Americans
are an efficient people.

Building the Left Wing in "The AmaIgamated'

for the reactionaries.
n T the same time we must com.
~ pletely isolate and render harm
less the infantile sickness of those
comrades who want the clothing
workers to settle their own problems
(as tho the clothing workers were not
part of the working class which can
settle it's problems only as a class),
or who want to turn the party itself
into an industrial organization with
its executive made up Of delegates
from industrial groups. These left
sick ones (who, as usual in such cas-
es, have hardly word to say on pol
icy) create an obstacle to progress
by their confusionism, and by their
alliance with the opportunistic ele-
ments.

~ ais. If it becomes necessary, of
course, it can easily be pointed out in
what persons these errors find their
champions. What we are concerned
with, however, is to clarity the minds
Of the large numbers Of rank and file
members who follow the left wing,
who believe in it and will fight for it,
but who are dismayed by the shout
ing of opportunists and wailing Of the
infantile left. To these honest and
sincere comrades we point out that
this confusion is but a passing sur
face event, caused by the movement
Of those deep, underlying forces Of
historical progress which are making
a left wing not only necessary but al
so inevitable. The temporary oonfu-
sion is only the laundering about of

cause they don't belong with the re-

COnciIiatOrs and Garment Strikers

Two developments in the strike of garment work
era in New York City:
First federal conciliators are on the job trying
to arrange a 'settlement'-the usual accompani-
ment Of strikes of any size.
Second pickets are slugged and arrested.
Here are the two chief methods of the bossowned
government. Federal conciliators with their
palaver Of peace and concessions by both sides
attempts to break the morale Of the strikers by
filing them with false hopes.
Violence against the strikers in an effort to
COW those who cannot be fooled by the smooth
tongued agents of the employers.
No honest and intelligent worker can fail to see
the way in which these two methods dovetail to-
gether and work in the interest of the enemies of
the working class.
The left wing led by the Communists, can do
effective work in such cases. In addition to being
the most active fighters the picket line the most
untiring organizers of the offensive against the
BOSSES they also show to the workers the intimate
connection between government and boss. They
have in these instances concrete evidence to bring
forward against any sO-caed leader who takes part
in the attempt of the agents of the employers to
fool the strikers into believing that they can gain
anything by other means than their organized and
conscious strength.
Any efforts on the part of government or any
other brand of conciators to get the workers back
to their machines pending a settlement must be
fought mercilessly
The time to negotiate is when the industry is
crippled by strike of the workers and the bosses
are whining over vanishing profits.

Wharf.-The Constant Danger

Those who remember the months preceding the
outbreak of the world in August, 1914, will
recall that the air of the capitals of the great
powers was filed with news of scandals in their
army and navy departments, with charges and
counter-charges of inefficency graft "unprepared-
ness" etc.
Hand in hand with these chickering's among the
miiitarists went the talk Of disarmament Just as
today there are rumors of more international con
ferences on auxiliary ornaments.
One more straw. In Chicago day before yester-
day the department heads of the Illinois Central
railroad gathered in uniform as officers Of the ma
tional army reserve and discussed the problem Of
supplying armed forces with the necessary sup
plies All over the nation similar gatherings are
being held. G~

Herriot, the socialist" is calling
frantically for ]. P. Morgan to boil
ster the tottering Herriot regime with
a loan of $2OO,0O0,O00.
When M. Clementel, the finance
minister, was shown an official de-
NAL by the United States treasury de-
partment, that the American govern
ment was contemplating a loan to
France, Clementel said, by the Unit
ed States l meant American bankers,

mentel had said that the United
States would aid France to bolster
the falling French franc with a large
loan. Clementel, however, meant
Morgan. whom he recognized as the
real power in America.
Interest to Morgan.
Louis Loucheur, one of Frances big
capitalists, speaking in the chamber
Of deputies. declared that, France is
paying regularly one and one-half bill
lion francs for the settlement OF her
commercial debt to America. The
bulk of this money find its way into
Morgan's pockets.
"The great trouble of the govern
ment is that ii. never has any cash on
hand" said Loucher. II recommend
the immediate efforts to float loan
of s2O0.000,000. The money from the
recent Morgan loan should be kept in
