COOLIDGE PUTS
REACTIONARY ON
4. C. COMMISSION
Woods Is Disciple of
Mellon Group
BY MARX LEWIS, Federated Press.

BY MARX LEWIS, Federated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Advocates
Of an unregulated and unrestricted
control of the nations utilities scored
heavily when it became known that
the president had appointed Cyrus E.
Woods to the interstate commerce
commission, where he will take the
place of Frederick |. Cox, OF New
Jersey, whose term expires.
Okehed by Mellon.
The choice of Woods to fill the i'm.
portant post was inspired by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon, who is
heavily interested in stocks and bonds
that will be affected materially by the
decisions of the commission Of which
Woods will be a member, and Senator
Reed, Of Pennsylvania, one of the
leading railroad lawyers, and a de-
fender of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and allied corporations on the floor of
the senate.
In Corporation Lawyer.
Woods was counsel for the Pitts
burgh Coal company, which has had
cases for freight reduction rates be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission of which he will be member
ii the senate confirms the appoint
ment. His appointment to a post
where he will be able to pass upon
cases affecting the very people he has
represented before the commission is
regarded as deliberate affront to the
senators who have been fighting for
commission that will be free from
connection with special interests.
Organized labor has likewise ex.
pressed its opposition to the con-
firmation of Woods.
Senators to Fight.
An alliance between southern sem
ators, who oppose the nomination be-
cause the south has not been recog-
niged sufficiently in these appoint
ments, western senators, who dislike
Woods railroad and coal connections,
and progressive senators, who disap-
prove of his labor record, is looked
for to block the appointment. Others,
who object to the seating Of Ware and
Smith, may fall in line, as 1t is re-
ported that Woods had q good deal to
do with the heavy campaign expendi-
lures in Pennsylvania this year.
Progressive senators consider the
appointment of Woods another move
on the part of the corporations to have
a sympathetic representative on the
commission while 1t continues the
work of placing valuation on the
railroads. 1t is certain that with
Woods there the concessions sought
by the railroads for valuation far in
excess of the actual investment will
be ably supported.

ing of marines on the Atlantic coast
and the order to DR.. Sacasa to aban.
don his residence in Puerto Cabezas
were caused by recent triumphs Of
liberal revolutionaries - triumphs
which were hidden from the world by

The liberal army, he said, is now
forging into the interior, and is oc-
cupyirg three strategic points in the
country, one of them, La Paz, is only
two hours ride from Managua, Diaz'

Won't Yield,
American intervention has inflam-
ed the Nicaraguan patriots so that
they will fight to the death rather
than surrender to the foreigners, he
said. The liberal army can only be
reached, he pointed out, by the U. S.
marines going into the interior, away
from the protection Of the gunboats,
and when they do that, he added, the
Nicaraguans will be able to protect
themselves.

Armed Intervention by the United
States in Nicaragua in support of the
Diaz government will cause anarchy,
many years of strife, and great loss
es of life and property, instead of
bringing about peace" declared Hern-

ion of the Sacasa regime. who has

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The de-

Usually the department of war has

that the question must be passed on

There is little doubt but what the

Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union
Plans to Build Home in Chicago

A home for the Chicago members OF
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America is to be built at the corner of
Ashland Boulevard and Van Buren,
street, to cost one million dollars. The
site has already been purchased and
the building will be completed, 1t is

project is complete.
In the basement will be a well.
equipped gymnasium. on the first floor
will be the library for the membership,
to which will be transformed the TO-.
900 volumes which the organization
already owns. There will be small as
sembly rooms On other parts of the
building, and large auditorium to
seat 1000.
Besides its use in administering the
affairs OF the Amalgamated, the build.
ing will be an educational and recrea.
tional center for the 10000 members
OF the union.
The site selected is directly opposite
the large building owned by the Anal
gamated Association OF Street and
Electric Railway Employees. II is re-
ported that the Women's Trade Union
League will build in the same block.

Green Echoes the New
Years Views Expressed
BY Great Capitalists
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.


TTTILLIAM GREEN, president of
w the American Federation of La.
Dor, and Ebert Fl. Gary, chairman
OF the United States Steel corpora
ton agree in an Optimistic fore
cast" of industrial conditions for
1927.
To be sure, Gary has nothing to
complain of. The steel trust dis
tributed a Christmas gift of quart
er of a billion dollars. In spite of
the recovery of the steel industry in
Europe and the end of the coal
strike in Great Britain, Gary expects
his American steel trust to prosper
during the coming year. And that is
all he is worried about.
Similarly Green concerns himself
almost exclusively with the favored
sections of the working class. He
stresses slight wage increases in
some sections of the railroad in
dustry, but puts greatest emphasis
on the building trades, which he
says even now have as good pros
poets as last year 1926.
But Green's JOY is confined to but
small handful of the great army
of exploited workers, men, women
and children, thruout the United
States. Green has no worry, at the
threshold of the new year, for the
millions Of unorganized in the great
basic industries. He doesn't chal-
lenge Gary's declaration of pros
perity" with a demand for the or
ganization of the steel workers and
the lettering Of their conditions.
He doesn't call for the reorganiza-
ton and amalgamation of the shop
mems unions on the railroads. He
has no warning to the workers of
the South, who constitute the vast
reservoir of cheap labor that is at
tracing industries from the North.
What Green has to say in his New
Years message applies to but a
small section of the working class,
especially the following:
Our trade union movement has
made substantial contribution to-
ward making ours a high wage
country and demonstrating that
high wages are compatible with low
unit costs. Because wages are high
we can do our part in buying the
articles industries are turning out
in increasing quantities"
Even in the last convention of
the American Federation of Labor
at Detroit, however, the great COM
plant was that wages had not kept
pace with increased and cheaper
production. The steel and auto
mobile industries were cited as ex-
amples, even by the labor official
dom. Green's declaration is more
in the nature of wish than a state
ment of fact. Labor IS able to re-
purchase only decreasing amount
of what 1t produces. Disorganiza-
ton in the ranks and traitor lead
ership at the top makes easier the
more bitter exploitation of labor for
the new year.
Following the report to the De-
troit convention, in October, of
decreasing membership, the Green
oficialdom decided not to proceed
with the organization campaign in
the auto industry. Nor are any
other organization campaigns plan
ned for the new year, so that it is
impossible to discern where any
favorable membership report will
come from for next years conven-
ton to be held at Los Angeles.
Calf, in the coming October.
Instead the announced campaign
of determination against the left
1u;po will hava met tba annooito 90

feet. 1t is here that Gary and Green
will again agree, the steel kaiser
vociferously applauding his labor
lieutenant" as the latter declares:
Another favorable indication (for
1920 is the halt that has been
called in Communist activities in
New York City. So completely have
Communist methods been discredited
that it will be less healthy to en-
ploy them upon workers the coming
year."
This might have been para
graph from the annual report, some
years ago, of the red batter ]. Nit
chell Palmer, under the Wilson re-
gime, and more recently of Harry
Daugherty, attorney general for
Harding's "Ohio gang" who got so
thoroly muddied with corruption at
Washington that he was forced to
get out and face a court trial.
Palmer is also facing his own cap
italist courts as the result of ques-
tionable activities as alien property
custodian. 1t is not difficult to I'M
derstand why Palmer, Daugherty,
Gary and Green should hold the
same viewpoint towards Commun-
lists and the left wing in the labor
movement. But the fact that Green,
in common with the rest, holds
those views and is at the same time
the head of the organized labor
movement, does not promote the
welfare of the American working
class, nor strengthen its struggle
Green sounds no note OF, co-opera-
ton between the industrial workers
and the farmers. For him the farm
crisis, especially in the corn and
cotton belts, does not exist.
The capitalists, however, are
jealous of their leadership over the
farming population and take full adj
vantage of the New Year season to
throw few sops, in the form of
well-rounded phrases, to the work
ers on the land.
Thus Charles M. Schwab, chair
man of the board of directors Of
the Bethlehem Steel corporation,
delivers himself of the following:
Both in industry and in agricul-
ture there must be cooperation
among the factors involved to an
extent never before considered ne
cessary or even desirable. Farming
must be conceived on a more scien-
tifc basis. There mHst be a greater
Indignation Of agricultural producing
units. We must apply to our fields
the methods of large scale produc-
ton which have been found success
full in our factories. Waste in mark
citing must be minimized on the
farm as well as in industry"
This is a very evident plea to the
well-to-do farmer who beholds him
self as a great landlord with thous-
ands of farm workers tilling his
vast domains. That is solution"
of the farm problem for the few
who will become the lords of the
land, just as Gary and Schwab are
the lords of steel. Schwab will
claim, of course. that the opportun-
ity to become great farmer awaits
all farmers. But in reality Schwab
offers no solution for the problems
rising before the great mass of
farm labor. just as he has no solu-
ton of the labor problem favorable
to wage workers.
1t is in this crucial situation that
the head of the organized industrial
workers has no New Years mes
sage for farm labor. Green merely
echoes the industrial views of the
capitalist masters. Labor, in the
cities and on the land, must learn
to speak for itself.
