under similar financial circumstances.
This fact was impressed very forcibly
on Baron Tornow, late of the still later
Russian imperial army. Tornow spec
ulated in Wall Street and struck luck
for a while. Then he was struck by
misfortune. But fair lady by the
name of Clendenin did not know that
the baron bought his clothes on the
installment plan. So she married him,
but when he was unable to pay for
the wedding supper in the Waldorf
she called cab and went back to her
angry papa. The baron was carried
to a modest place, where friends took
off his shoes and put him to bed.

holds the reactionary leadership OF the
socialist heads of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, who
are now trying to grab the New York
Joint Board from the radicals in the
midst OF strike. This support is
deserved. The capitalists rarely make
a mistake in picking friends. Right
wing socialists sneer at united front
of labor, but wherever they see half a
chance to snusgle closer to the bosses
they do so.
BECAUSE, in the opinion OF Frank

is 10 De greatly regreLL0Q LnaJ
L the organized labor movement
in Chicago, thru it's elected officials,
found no time nor showed any in
clination to send a delegation bear
ing a greeting to the 5000 delegates
meeting here of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, an organization
enrolling 100000 farm families in
1900 farm communities in As states.
In fact, the affair was important
enough to merit some attention
from the American Federation of
Labor itself, in an earnest effort
to develop contacts between the
city and land workers.
Matthew Woll, vice president, and
mouthpiece for the Green regime in
the A. F. Of L. is too busy, of
course, attacking the Communists
and the left wing in the labor
movement, tearing down and des-
troying, to find any time for con-
structive work.
The farmer, like all other sec
tions of the population, looks for
allies in order to get what he wants.
He therefore seizes every crumb that
falls his way from the capitalist
table. The capitalist exploits this
appetite. Careful propaganda mis-
leads the farmer into the belief that
the city worker, who is supposed to
be getting exhorbitant wages, is
the direct cause of many of the
farmers woes. This enmity is
carefully nurtured.
Great business, on the other hand,
carefully parades itself as "the
friend of the farmer" Industrial
and commercial interests recently
met at indianapolis under the au-
spices Of the United States chamber
Of commerce to consider the agri-
cultural problems of Indiana, ILL
nois and Michigan. One of the chief
speakers at the Chicago gathering
was Magnus w. Alexander, New
York, president of the National Ing
dustrial Board, who came bearing
the message that, American in
dustry has indeed a definite self
interest in agricultural prosperity"
In other words, capitalist industry
is DESTROYS and anxious that agri-
culture should be able to hobble
along, at least, so that 1t will furn-
ish as rich source as possible of
exploitation. 1t was with this end
in view that the business interests
of the nation constituted a. business
mems commission, with the aid of
the chamber of commerce, to see
that agriculture is not crippled be-
yond the point where it will cease
to produce the desired profits.
Thus the industrial, commercial
and banking interests of the nation
cajole the farming population into
believing that the profiteers are the
friends of the workers on the land,
when they are exactly the opposite.
These are instead the real enemies
Of the farmers.
The city worker, the toiler in in
dustry, ON the other hand, is the
natural ally of the worker on the
land; not only of the farm hands
who work for meager wages, but
of the millions Of landless farmers,
the tenant, share and crop farmers.
who wander from one farm to an
other to battle with the soil for a
bare living, just as the wage worker
follows his job,
The city and land workers are
natural allies because they are both
victims of the same system OF ex-
ploitation. They are both members

LONDON, Dec. 9. - Comment here
in labor circles on the speech of Ram
say Macdonald on the motion for cen
sure Of the government in connection
with the coal strike, is that it was
weak and ineffective.
Macdonald said the Baldwin gov.
eminent "shilly-shallied until it fin.
ally settled down to become the tool
Of the owners" This is said by the
labor party left wing leaders to dis.
regard the facts Of the suppressive
policy followed by the government

of the same class, the working
class, held in subsection by the cap
italist class.
To be sure, neither the American
Federation Of Labor nor the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation re-
cognize the class struggle. Both
organizations under their present
leadership deny that they have any
class interests. On the other hand,
they insist that they have common
interests with their enemy class.
This results in the leadership of
the A. f. of L. and its affiliated
international unions, developing
their class collaboration schemes in
the industrial struggle, and adher-
ing to the capitalist political par
ties. 1t results in the leadership
of this farmers organization invit-
ing Cal Coolidge to be its chief
spokesman last year, and this year
clinging desperately to the coat
tails of the multimilllonaire, Frank
0. Lowden, an "old guardist" repub-
lican who is anxious to take Silent
Calls" place in the White House.
Under the cloak of "non-partisan-
ship" both these organizations of
the workers and farmers are deliv-
cred by their leaders into the camp
of Wall Street politics.

Carl Haessler, of the Federated
Press, reports the publicity director
of the Farm Bureau Federation as
declaring that, "The workers and
farmers do not know each other
very we'll" This is too true.
1t seems that the farmers, even
the type of farmers gathered here,
are willing to make some advances
to the city workers. An Indiana
delegate raised the issue on the
floor, declaring that in his state the
city workers and farmers were be-
ginning to cooperate. The same is
true in other sections of the nation.
But the Chicago Federation of La
Dor officials missed splendid oppor-
tunity to defy labor's enemies. the
bankers Of La Sale Street. the
grain gamblers on the board of
trade and the open shoppers of the
Manufacturers Association and the
chamber of commerce, by failing to
make advances to the farmers gath
cred here.
1t is reported that Newton Jenk-
ins, the lawyer, erstwhile candi-
date for United States senator on
the LaFollette ticket, who is at
torney for the Illinois Federation of
Labor, is carrying on negotiations
between the labor officialdom and
the heads of the Illinois Agricultur-
al Association, the Illinois organi-
+, cation of the farm bureau, for the
purpose of getting joint action in
the establishment of farm bank
in the state. This would at least
signify faint beginning of farmer
labor cooperation, abortive tho it
may be.
Intensive pressure must be brot
to bear, however, by the masses of
wage workers and the poorest farm
.ers and. farm workers, in spite of
the oficialdom II necessary, to
force united action of the city with
the land. Such action will find an
expression in the development of
the labor party, in which the grow
ing class consciousness of the work
ers will struggle against the instru-
ments of their oppressors, the repub-
lican and democratic parties. For
ward to the unity of the wage
workers with the farm workers.

BRITISH Mine
WORKERS GRID
FOR STRUGGLE
To Strengthen Union;
Cooks Views
Especial to Tho Dally WORKER

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The coal miners
are getting ready to renew the strug-
gle.
This 10 the note that is struck in
meetings and discussions of miners
and already the coal owners, the gov
eminent and the labor leaders who
deserted the miners, are showing
signs Of uneasiness.
BY the terms of the settlement the
Miners Federation of Great Britain
has been weakened by district agree
msnts, and varying scales Of wages
and conditions of work have been es-
tabished.
The first efforts of the miners mi
nority movement will be directed
against these district settlements and
a drive made for more complete cen
tral1sation than existed before the
strike.
Cook for Militant Program.
A, J. Cook, secretary of the Min
ers' Federation, has declared for the
program Of the national minority
movement and has announced that
the Miners Federation must become
an industrial union in all respects.
Every official Of the federation who
failed the membership in the great
struggle will be opposed and efforts
made to elect a fighting leadership
for all offices in the union
The present situation is described
by A. J. Cook, Arthur Horner of the
South Wales Miners Federation and
Nat Watkins, secretary Of the Min
ers' National Minority movement as
"a breathing spell" This does not
mean that the struggle against the
reactionary officials, the government
and the coal owners has ceased even
for time but simply that it has en-
tered new phase as the result of
the ending of the strike.
No Decentralization.
The decentralization which the gov
eminent expected to occur in the
miners union has not taken place
On the contrary the morale remains
high and there is an atmosphere of
bitter determination in the coal fields
which is a forecast of the resolute
spirit with which the miners will
wage the next struggle.
The main task now, say Cook and
other militant workers is to strength
en- the union and establish a new lead
ership which will take up the strug
gle on the basis of the new condi-
tions-the decay of British capitalism
and the attempt Of the rulers to place
the whole burden of their attempts to
salvage it upon the working class and
especially upon the coal miners.
