LORE SPEAKS AT
N. Y.LIEBKNECHT
MEMORIAL MEET

NEW YORK, Jan. ga thousand
women and men went to Fordwards
Hall, to pay tribute to the memories
and great spirit Of Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Luxembourg. The meeting
was arranged by Workmen's Circle,
Branch $40. The audience responded
with fine enthusiasm to speeches by
Comrade Ludwig Lore, VIM. Almazov,
NJ. Altman, J. Klevens and the chair
man, N. Koppell A unique feature
was the solemn dispersal of the au-
dience at the close of the meeting
while the orchestra played the Inter
national" An inspiring finale.
The Freiheit Mandolin Orchestra
attuned everyone to the atmosphere
Of the memorial, by playing the Inter
national" and the Funeral March,"
and several other revolutionary
works.
William Almazov told of the death
in 1914 of Jean Jaures, at the begin
ming of the great war, in which the
socialists changed the slogan OF
workers of the World Unite" to Go
and kill the workers of other nations"
The consequences of the war were
oppressive and disheartening condi-
lions all over the world for the work
ers, even for those OF the victorious
countries.
Yet, through the darkness OF the
war clouds, rang out the brave, cou-
rageous anti-war cry Of Karl Liebk-
meet. And Rosa Luxembourg Joined
with him in their splendid fight
against militarism. In working-class
history their names will always be
revered.
Comrade Ludwig Lore, editor Of the
volkszeitung, told OF the agitation to
organize the young workers and OF
Rosa Luxemburg's remarkable work
against socialist pariiamentarism, in
the demand for direct action.
An appeal was made for aid for
political prisoners OF all countries and,
in response, contributions OF $22 were
quickly offered.
M. Altman said they had not come
there to mourn. as such n personal
tribute such spirits as Liebknect and
Luxembourg would not have wished,
and he declared that II was the Cahans
and Hillquits who should mourn for
themselves. Tho they are putting
Ruthenberg and others behind bars,
he said. Communism will not and can
not stop but viii 20 marching on.

tspeelaI 70 the Daily Workarl

Especial to the Daily Worker)
Attempts to organize new two
and half" international by all the
renegades Of the Communist Interna-
tionaI have evidently failed, according
to the official organ of the Norwegian
Communist Party.
The attempt was made by Hoeglund.
Tranmael and Steinberg, the leaders
of this movement. According to re-
ports from Norway, these traitors are
to conduct referendum among
themselves on Feb. is, to decide
whether they shall start new inter
national or not.
Ledebour Has No Home.
In the preliminary conference held
In Berlin during the Christmas period,
George Ledebour, understanding to
the claims previously made by Tran
mael, Hoeglund and company-was to
be the leader of the new international,
was, instead. thrown out of the con-
ference due to his advocating voting
for Communists in the elections in
Germany.
This was evidently enough to have
him considered outside Of the new
anti-Communist international. Poor
old Ledebour seems to have no place
to go. That is where the two and a
half" International takes everyone
connected with it. And "two and a
half" Reconsideration has become
about the sorriest thing in political
life.
Yet there are subjective traits in
many sections of the working class,
sections which claim to be "Commun-
lists with reservations" and so on,
that respond to the same descriptions
as the more dangerous elements which
really organize or try to organize a
two and a half international.
If You Don't know-Find Out.
The duty of Communists is to
point out these deyiations from the
Communist line, from the line Of
Bolshevism. So next Sunday evening,
in the lodge room at the Ashland
Auditorium, on the corner of Ashland
and Van Buren, streets, Arne Swabeck.
district organizer of the Workers
(Communist) Party, will lecture upon
the subject: what Is Two and Half
Internationalism- Where Does 1t

VKTARREN S. STONE, president of
wv the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, is the darling of the lib
erals who like to coddle some labor
leader who is clever enough to hide
his reactionary policies beneath veil
of liberal distractions. Stone was the
chief labor hacker Of LaFollette in
that gentleman's race for the presi-
dency. The locomotive chief is presi-
dent of several banks and investment
companies and chairman of the board
of directors Of couple Of scab coal
companies. But Stone has not con-
fined his business activities to bank
ing and coal mining. A circular that
reached the Office a few days ago
shows that he has more irons in the
fire.
THIS circular shows that Stone is

day. Daily wages range from 12c to-
4Sc according to the nature Of the
work. Thus cotton cleaners receive
from zoe to Csc day, sorters from
zoe to acc while the highest wage for
spinner is 4Sc.
Many Of the leading cotton manufac-
turing concerns in China are owned in
Japan. One of these operating 10
mills with about 100000 spindles and
1000 looms in the vicinity of Shanghai
has issued a circular describing the
benevolent paternalism of their policy.
High points in their description are:
Company housing has been develop
ed near the mills in order that the
employees may work the long hours
without being away from home IA
hours or more a day. The 1853
houses shelter 1895 families composed
of 1925 persons. That makes an
average Of 9.4 persons per house.
Rentals are 81 a month for 2-story
affair and 81 for a bungalow.
Modern efficiency management has
been installed including personnel
department and an elaborate system
of bonus payments covering produc-
ton, attendance, etc.
The company attempts to eliminate
the labor Of children under IL years
by forbidding the hiring of children
who measure less than feet 2 inches
in height.
The majority Of spinning mills in
Japan operate 20 hours a day in two
shifts and the weaving mills in a
single shift of 10 to II hours. Prior
to the earthquake the government
had passed a law to abolish night
work for women in cotton mills but
it's effective date has been indefinitely
postponed.
Cotton mill owners and operatives
in Italy have agreed upon a 10 per
cent increase in wages bringing the
level just about even with the in
crease in the cost of living since pre-
war times. But in exchange the work
ers have agreed to a frightening of
the regular shift from to 71k hours,
to an increase in the amount of over
time from to hours per. week and
to reduction of the extra overtime
rate from 40 per cent to 80 per cent
of straight time wages. In addition
they have given up the right to claim
half pay for fortnight in case of
unemployment thru lack Of orders.
Polish employers have been forced
to grant very favorable working con-
ditions because of the close proximity
of the workers republic in Russia.
These include 46-hour week, many
holidays and two weeks vacation with
pay. All this new social legislation is
extremely unsatisfactory from the mill
owners viewpoint, but is apparently
necessary to keep wage earners from

the 1917 scale. They refused. Since
then he has refused to recognize the
union and has waged war against the
union coal diggers. even going to the
extreme Of evicting them from their
homes in the middle Of winter.
CTONE claims that his coal mining
- business is run on cooperative
principles. 1t is no more cooperative
than the United States Steel corpora
ton. The stock in the concern is
owned largely by members OF the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers.
Some of the union coal miners pur-
chased stock, but they have been
evicted while scabs who have not a
single share of stock are filling their
places. The only questions asked by
Stone Of his former employees is:
'Will you work for the 1917 scaIe?"
If they answer Eyes" they can stay
in their homes; il they answer mo"
they are evicted.
DRoFIT-SHARING has been ad-
i vanced as a solution Of the con.
fiict between capitalism and labor. It
is the theoretical foundation for the
fallacy of class collaboration. EN-
ployer and employee can get along by
sharing in the profits from industry,
say the reformists. The fate OF the
union miners who held stock in
Stones mine is a convincing answer
to this kind of bunk. Capitalism,
whether under union auspices or
otherwise, can only work in one way.
That is, to exploit the workers to the
limit. There is no way Of bridging
the cHasm between labor and capital
ism except to abolish the latter.
