BRATIANU GANG
HOLDS DESTINY
OF ROUMANIANS
Queen and Carol Rum
ors Only Wild Guesses
Especial to The Daily worksr)

| especial TO The Daily Worker)
BUCHAREST, Dec. 3.-With the
European and American press agitat-
ing itself about possible palace revo-
luton led by the ex-Crown Prince
Carol, the establishment of a regency
with Queen Marie at its head and
many other guesses about Roumanias
dynastic future in the event of King
Ferdinand's death, the following facts
are enlightening:
! King Ferdinand's illness is of a
nature that may carry him off at any
moment and he is an old man. But for
the time being he is we'll enough to go
about his routine state duties and is
expected to meet Queen Marie at the
station when she arrives from Paris.
But the rumors about possible up-
risings over the question of Ferdi-
nand's successor are considerably
dampened when it is known that the
real rulers of Roumania are not the
royal household.
The most powerful individual in the
country is Jan Bratianu, former
premier and son Of Roumania's Carl
baldi." He and two of his brothers
are wealthy capitalists and fiannciers
who may be said to have Roumania's
rich mineral and oil resources in their
pockets.
The present government Of Averesco
exists by grace of the Bratianu broth
ers. 1t is recalled that prior to the
last election, Averescus party con-
trolled only several seats in partlia-
ment. During the last election, as IL
by magic, his party became the maiori-
ty. The magic consisted in the ability
of the ongarchy to control the polls.
Soldiers were freely used at the ballot
boxes, as in all Roumantan elections,
and Averescu's majority was secured
In advance.
There are various reasons for
Averescu coming to power. The chief
reason was that Bratianu's own In.
terest required a change of govern
ment. But the accession Of General
AFO AOoCu U lue premiership QlQ not
lessen the enormous power Of Jan
Bratianu who, 1t is openly declared
by the opposition parties has more
real power in Roumania than Mus
solini has in Italy.
Bratianu is definitely set against
Carols return. This means that Carol
will not return to Roumania despite
the informal" conversation Marie IS
reported to have had with her son in
Paris where she stopped to do her
Christmas shopping on the way home.
That, In brief, is the political situa-
ton in Roumania. The capitalist and
financial oligarchy of "Greater Rou-
mania" under the leadership of Jan
Bratianu and his powerful brothers, is
the dominating force in the country
aud, incidentally, the power responsi-N
BILE for conditions that the Roumanian
censorship does not permit to be
talked about in news going out of Rou-
mania and only in a muffled tone
within the country.

They decided that the first attack
should be made on Pressers' Local 35
of the 1. L. G. w. U.
That this local, which was formerly
the gangster local of the international,
should be regained for that purpose.
That all measures should be taken
to disrupt the strike activities.
For this purpose it was decided that
the forces should be divided into three
squads. One squad should be sta
toned in the strike meetings proper,
another should be secretly assembled
in a room In the building in which the
strikers congregate and the third
group be situated on the street close
to the meeting hall. That when the
occasion presents itself the three
squads should descend upon the strik-
ing workers and beat them up and

Senator Borah, but no information as
to what occurred has been given out.
There are certain conflicts in prog
ress, or developing, with the Passaic
strike as their center, but which are
evidence that other interests, in some
instances interests Numerically op-
posed, than those of the strikers are
being considered.
The truth Of the matter is that Ia
Dor ofiicials-and others-are playing
politics with the Passaic strike in the
democrat and republican parties. 1t
will be remembered that Matthew
Vol, vice-president of the American
Federation of Labor, shortly before
the recent convention Of that body,
issued statement attacking Senator
Borah for his attempts to settle the
strike. So far Borah has not kept
his promise to address a mass meet
ing OF the Passaic strikers and 1t is
probable that the opposition of Woll
and similar elements in the executive
council of the A. +. of l.. is respon-
sible for this.
EoRSTMANN, OF the Forstmann-
= Huffman mills, reputed to be the
sixteenth richest man in America, is
also heavy contributor to the repub-
lican party machine.
There are also local conflicts
among the offlcialdom.
President Mcmahon does not want
Governor Moore OF New Jersey to adj
dress the strikers In Passaic altho
Moore has stated that II the mill-own-
ers did not settle he would speak at
strikers meeting. President Riley

The local union of the strikers is
1903 and over the scab loom fixers
and spinners' local, 1906, it would
have no control. The members of
Local 1903, who have fought all thru
the strike, would be left out in the
cold, blacklisted and forced to find
employment elsewhere. Local 1903
would cease to exist.

TT is my opinion that the official

section of A. F. of l.. officialdom,
do not want the bosses to settle with
the men and women who have prov
ed their militancy by more than ten
months Of bitter struggle, on a basis
that will build a strong mass union
of unskilled workers in Passaic and l
think that any honest observer, con-
versant with the facts, will arrive at
the same conclusion.
That the Passaic strikers have plen-
ty OF stamina and lighting spirit left
is shown by the fact that the an
nouncement OF the ten per cent in
crease by the Botany, because 1t car
ried no recognition OF the union with
it, brought no stamped to the mills,
as the bosses, and some Of the ia.
Dors" advisers, undoubtedly thot It
would, but on the contrary was hall
cd correctly by the strikers as evi-

mill owners and by unanimous voto

tinue the struggle.
The campaign for relief must be in
tensifed and the resources of the la
Dor movement placed again at the dis
posal Of the Passaic General Relief
Committee.

THE rank and file OF labor, which
has supported the Passaic strike
SO long and so well, must tell the
U. T. w. and A. F. of L. officialdom
that they will not be allowed to de-
sert the mass of unskilled workers
in Passaic thru the medium Of fake
settlement for small group Of skill
ed strikebreakers in order that they
can claim victory" and save their
faces.
Furthermore, the rank and file of
the labor movement should serve no.
tice on the labor officials who are
playing politics in the capitalist bar
ties with the lives and sacrifices of
Passaic strikers, that they will be
held responsible for any desertion of
the strikers and that this time no
carefully framed excuses will save
them from the wrath of the rank and
file.
THESE officials must be told that

increasing production, with the de-
mand for workers increasing and with
the evidence at hand of the weak DO.
sition OF the mill owners shown by
the Passaic Worsted settlement and
the ten per cent increase in wages
by the Botany, the trade unionlsts of
this country expect the Passaic strike
to be won.
The otllcialdom must be told that
II Is time now for them to get into
the fight to come into Passaic and
hurl some defiance at the mill own
ers, encourage the strikers and mob
ilizo the whole labor movement for
winning the strike.
II can be won and It will be won II
there Is no desertion OF the unskill-
ed workers in Passaic.

Of the strike committee and members

the strike are to be visited and told to

republican candidate, or (2) by sup
porting the democrat as the Coo
lidge-Butler crowd did successfully
in Iowa, ousting Brookhart, altho
later turning the tables and helping
to elect him this year.
But the Infamous instrument of
the North Dakota exploiters, the So
called 'TVA"-the notorious Inde-
: pendent Voters Association-did
none of these things. 1t remained
absolutely quiescent,, permitting the
Sorlie-Nye ticket to sweep all Of it's
strongholds, especially Fargo, Bis
marck and Grand Forks, always
anti-league centers. This was GER
tainly not tribute to the non-par-
tisan league as a political power in
dependent of the republican party
and fighting in the interests of the
masses of workers and farmers.
Rather was it confession that the
leaders" of what still poses as the
non-partisan league are satisfactory
to the predatory interests that fight
the workers. Sorlie and Nye were
thus, to great extent, the actual
candidates Of the iva" In fact,
William Lemke, the farmer-labor
candidate for governor, actually
charged during the campaign that
Sorlie was the candidate Of the
bankers.
Under these circumstances the
plundered masses in North Dakota
cannot be expected to get very ex-
cited about the sham battle between
Frazier and Nye on one side and
Coolidge on the other over the ap-
pointment of United States mar
shall. If Frazier's man crowds out
Coolidge's appointee at the pie
counter, as he may be permitted to
do In order to assure the votes of
Frazier and Nye for the "old guard"
in the senate, those who constitute
the IVA" may still rest easy since
nothing will be radically changed
in the state.
This does not mean that the Coo
lidge-Butler outfit will always be
satisfied with Frazier, Nye and
Sorlie. No doubt, just as soon as
they have served their usefulness
to great capital in betraying the in
terests of the workers and farmers,
they will be dropped in the politi-
cal gutter.
This does not mean that Coolidge
ism will become triumphant in
North Dakota. On the contrary, it
means that the class lines will be-
come clearer than ever, the preli-
minary condition to the building of
the Farmer-Labor Party as the in
dependent political power of the
workers and farmers. This party is
already in existence, In organized
form, in North Dakota. 1t did not
show great strength in the Novem-
Der elections. This is easily under
stood. The workers and farmers
had been led to expect much from
the non-partisan leaguers, and the
disillusionment has not yet set in.
But Sorlie and Nye have now made
peace, aside from minor and unim-
portant skirmishes, with the bust
ness interests and are now very far
removed from the workers and
farmers in the state. North Dakota
labor will learn its lesson and press
forward to real and lasting victories.

MANEUVERS for getting the jobs
A'A and not struggles on principle
divide the "old guard" and the So
called LaFollette wing Of the repub-
lican party in congress. This is
again revealed in the reported tea
pot tempest raging between Presi-
dent Coolidge on the one hand, and
the two senators from North Dakota,
Lynn Frazier and Gerald P. Nye, on
the other which threatens to scuttle
republican power in the senate.
There are a host of issues on
which the North Dakota senator's
could thunder against the "old
guard" especially that of farm re-
lief. But instead the battle RACES
over the appointment by "Silent
Cal" of his loyal henchman, Colonel
c. F. Mudgett as United States
Marshal for North Dakota. 1t be-
comes a question of who is to get
the pie" in the appointments.
The appointment of Mudgett is
merely another indication of the
sleepless determination Of the "old
guard" not only to maintain but to
strengthen its machine in this as
well as in other states of the rest
less wheat and corn belts. Coolidge
Is reported to have made the ap-
pointment at the suggestion Of L.
B. Hanna, "old guard" campaign
manager in 1924, the guardian Of
the republican reactions power in
the state. This is the Hanna who
sought to keep Nye out of the
senate this year, with the good
wishes of the White House. He fail
ed in the primaries and Nye had a
walkaway in the November poll. But
the voters, who put Frazier and Nye
into the senate and are keeping
them there for the time being, are
anxiously trying to find out where
the difference is between the old
guard" and it's Frazier-Nye offshoot.
They will want to know, what diff
ference does it make whether they
suffer under the Coolidge Mudgett-
Hanna machine, or under the Nye-
Frazier regime that has lost all it's
old flavor of protest.
United States marshals, who are
the federal policemen, like the post
masters, especially in the large
cities, are very important cogs in
the capitalist political organizations.
They have no important functions to
perform, all actual work being as
signed to assistants, enabling the
appointees to give all their time to
building and mending the fences of
the bosses that they serve.
The strenuous efforts being made
by the Coolidge administration to
grab off the appointments in North
Dakota, indicate that the Wall
Street gang, speaking thru the
bankers, landlords and grain gamb-
lers Of the northwest, Is eternally
active in building up its strength.
That it has ambitions to bring the
erstwhile non-partisan leaguers with
in the fold is shown by the fact that
no opposition was offered last
month to the reelection of Governor
Sorlie and Senator Nye. The bank
ers, the merchants and the outside
business interests. could have op-
posed the Sorlie-Frazier-Nye combi-
