fascist premier:

colonization of possessions abroad;
three, emigration to rich countries;
four, accords to obtain raw materi-

Asked if there was not fifth point

Mussolini answered:
This question is a matter for the

the points just mentioned and they
will require years for realization"
The fascist leader said that Italy's
intentions are peaceful, citing the
questionable instance of Fiume as an

FIGHT LONGER
HOURS AS The
Chief DANGER
Mine Owners Will Fail
to Destroy Union
Especial to The DAILY Worker

LONDON, July Z. The British
miners opposition to the law lengthen-
ing the workday still holds out strong
er than ever. in fact if the men have
to choose between longer hours and
lower wages they will choose the lat
ter, according to Herbert Smith, presi-
dent of the union who, in a speech to
the miners recently said:
A Hard Choice.
"Once you go back to eight hours
you will not get back to seven for
fifty years, never mind five. If we
have to choose, thru being driven to
it, between a reduction of wages and
longer working day, then my vote
will go for the reduction Of wages. We
have a chance of fighting for more
wages"
Faced by the tremendous pressure
of hunger and privation, the miners
union is bending its greatest effort,
with fair chance for success, to defeat
the government and the owners in
the attempt to what really amounts to
an effort to break up the union. Even
if the longer workday bill becomes a
law it will fail to create destruction of
the miners union, which is what the
Baldwin government and owners want
Ramsay Wants PoIteness.
This week should bring the parlia-
mentary phase of the battle against
the longer workday to a head. The
bill providing it has gone up to the
House of Lords after stormy debates
in its two readings in the commons.
During the fight in the commons
many labor party representatives used
such spirited and supplementary
language against the Baldwin cabinet
that Ramsay Macdonald thought it
necessary, to repudiate their impolite
manners and methods on the ground
that such discourtesy Exposed par
liamentary institutions to public

ARTICLE XI.
THE FOREIGN BORN WORKERS AND THE LABOR PARTY
BY BERT MILLER.
BY BERT MILLER.

ITO no section of the American work
4 ing class is the campaign for
labor party of greater significance
than it is to the foreign born. When
We advocate the building Of labor
party we have in mind the setting up
of a powerful political weapon of the
working class for the struggle against
employers. In the face of the most
humiliating discrimination and exploit
tation on the economic, social and po-
litical field this group of workers is
particularly in need of such a weapon.
Economic Weakness.
TN number of industries the for
4 eign-born workers find themselves
almost defenseless against the on
slaughts of the powerful American in
dustrial corporations. The American
Federation Of Labor has carefully
avoided the task Of organizing the
foreign workers. 1t has maintained
its policy of catering to the aristoc-
racy of labor, the earlier immigrants,
the so-called American elements found
largely in the skilled trades. 1t has
avoided this task because the organi-
cation of the foreign-born workers
into the trade unions would involve
immediate and fierce conflict with the
strongest scions of American capital
ism, those in control of the large scale
industries, which has attained its pres
ent supremacy largely thru the ill
requitted efforts of the foreign born
This conglomerate group of many
languages and customs, crowded into
nationalistic ghettos, presents a most
difficult organizing task-but one that
is far from impossible. Witness Pas
sale for example. Due to their organ
national weakness, however, the for
eign-born workers have been subject
ed to the heaviest assaults of the
employers and the result has been
starvation wages, long hours, speed
up systems and conditions of virtual
serfdom.
Experience teaches us that the
working class seeks a political weapon
when the economic weapon has failed
to serve its purpose. Goaded to des-
peration by the unmerciful exploita.
ton of their employers, ignored by
the official labor movement, the for
eign-born worker is cropping for an
opportunity to voice his discomfort
and protest. The movement for a la
Dor party Tor labor ticket ~offers
him that opportunity
Social Discrimination.
TINE social discrimination which the
L foreign worker meets on every
hand adds to the dissatisfaction result
ing from his economic plight. The in
ability to speak the English language.
the ignorance of American customs.
the unfamiliar environment, all tend
/. 70 place him at a disadvantage and
inspire him with a sense of his own
weakness and unimportance. A for
eigner is, therefore, the butt of gen.
eral ridicule, one to whom it is unnec-
essary to extend even those elemen-
tary privileges and courtesies which
the American worker expects as his
due. This is demonstrated daily in
the stores, streetcars and the count
less institutions of American society.

General Woods Pet
Imperialist L e g a |
Measure Must Wait

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Gov. Gen.
Leonard Wood of the Philippine
Islands did'not get from the past ses-
sion of congress the legislation he
asked, and which President Coolidge
urged, reducing the power of the Fill
Pine legislature over the finances OF
the islands.
The Bacon bill seeking to broaden
the powers OF the American auditor OF
the territory was stranded, with many
other administration measures.
The second Bacon bill, proposing to
divide the islands and to create q
purely appointive colonial regime for
Mindanao, Sulu and other rich islands
inhabited by Mohammedans, did not
even have hearing before a commit
tee OF either house.
