SEAMEN FLOCKING INTO L. w. W. TO
JOIN STRUGGLE AGAINST BOSSES;
is. u. SCAB POLICY REPUDIATED

(fined) SO, as fee to be paid to the
shipping crimp who will try to pro
cure scabs for the ship. This action
is illegal, but under the capitalist
class dictatorship the California
Eastern Lumber company who owns
the ship don't have to concern itself
with little matter like the law
which either works for the bosses or
don't work at all.
The Korean Prince crew have de-
clared their readiness to join the
strike and pickets have gone aboard
to get them off. The crew of the New
Zealand freighter Piako, which struck
Wednesday as soon as the ship tied
up at the Bush Terminal, tell of mis-
erable conditions on the trip from
England, where they were held prac-
tically prisoners by ships officers and
police to prevent them leaving ship
there. The food was spoiled in the
storeroom and the crew became ter
ribly sick.
Strike Meetings Enthusiastic.
At the corner of South street and
Coenties Slip Tuesday night Eliza
beth Gurley Flynn addressed a crowd
of a thousand striking seamen, ex-
planning the strike situation and rous-
ing great enthusiasm among the al
ready determined strikers. At the
end of the meeting the hall at los
Broad street was packed with strik-
ers asking instructions and assign
ment to picket duty.
William Brennan of the l. w. w.
addressed the strikers and empha-
sized the need for increasing the
pickets and doing all in their power
to bring the strike to a victorious
conclusion. The response was a
spontaneous and immediate strength
ening of the picket line and a call for
"action and still more action!" The
hall rang with cheers for "interna-
tional solidarity"
Other big meetings were held at the
corner of Court and Carroll streets
in Brooklyn. A large crowd of strik-
ers cheered and applauded the M. T.
w. strikers and somehow failed to
see that the Salvation Army was pres.
ent beating a drum and trying to
save the strikers souls-and get
them to scab on their fellow workers
to their own detriment.
Skipper Changes His Mind.
When the Lamport and Holt liner
Vauban paid off Tuesday, the skip
per tried to hold out $40 on a Portu-
gese seaman who couldn't put up
much of fight because he could not
speak English. The M. T. w. dele
gate went aboard and had little
round with said skipper, who finally
discovered that he had made a "mis-
take" The seaman promptly lined
up as a member of the M. r. w. and

Berger's Socialists Try
to Capture LaFollette
Voters in Wisconsin
BY ]. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY sees interesting closing clashes in the special
senatorial campaign in Wisconsin, especially as Victor
Bergers socialist daily Milwaukee Leader, struggles to
win over some of the LaFoIIette to its banner.
The Socialists" oevery claim that they have fallen heir
to the LaFolette program which they contend has been
thrown overheard by the crown prince LaFolette Jr
Here the method of the socialist" reasoning In
of becoming conservative with the passing
LaFOIette Sr, became radical is claimed At first
gram say the socialists" Then he proposed his system
for regulation of public utilities Then the last develop
ment in the words of editorial article the first page
of the Milwaukee Leader, Sept is:
public ownership the only
restoring people country
another from them"
Ergo the Socialists stand for public ownership, and
therefore, say the Socialists the LaFoette followers
should all vote for the socialist candidate John NJ Work
st party the days before war, editorial
writer on Bergers Milwaukee Leader.
But if this all that is needed to vote the socialist"
ticket in Wisconsin, why not carry the reasoning little fur
ther? Even coodges republican administration believes in
ciaIist"? Evidently
Public ownership had been carried far under the regime
of the former kaiser in Germany Instead of the kaiser turn
ing Socialist however, the socialists went to the right
during the and voted him credits, and
they continue the most ardent supporters of the German
capitalist republic.
Public ownership say in the Russia the
This should have been the bridge for the czast fol-
lowers to to the Socialists according to the
wisconsin idea."
But in of these countries in Russia in Germany
in the United States has public ownership proven
ping stone socialism. Nor will It, Nor will those who be-
ieve in public ownership under the capitalist state
all for the evils of exploitation prove worthwhile fighters
against capitalism LaFolette much the former
kaiser and the late believed in supported capitalism
1t may be said that they did loyal capital
sm than have the socialists" themselves who
rayed all socialist principles and turned their backs
ciaIism.
Public ownership is not socialism. Only the Commun-
s who struggle for the rule of the working class pave
to the that follows close the heels of the
passing profit system.
LaFolettes desperate grasp the brink of the grave
public ownership did make him believer in socialism,
any than William Jennings Byans espousaI public
ownership votegetting weapon made him uphoIder
of socialist principles.
The fact is, however, that Bergers Socialists" with
their Wisconsin idea have just slipped another cog back
into the lap of capitalism where they will find comfort
able nesting place In Wisconsin, everywhere else the
fight for socialism falls upon the shoulders of the Com
munists.
