Then they were ordered to per-
sonally bring in a report the next
day of their achievements at the
polls.
This was done in spite Of the
civil service laws, hailed as cure
alls by reformers who declare they
will take public employees out of
politics. In spite of these laws the
neutrality-suspicious. crowd lined up
the tremendous army of municipal
employees for the candidates of the

Workers and farmers, understand
ing these expected activities of the
capitalist state, will not join the
democratic senators, King, of Utah,
and Reed, of Missouri, in express
sions of surprise and indignation
that such things should take place
in these democratic" United States
Of America.
Over the broad expanse Of "the
Solid South, where the democratic
party rules practically unchallenged,
the crimes of the Mellon-Pepper in
terests in republican Pennsylvania
are repeated, and not only against
Negro voters but against white
workers as we'll.
Labor is the loser if 1t believes
that the democrats throwing mud at
the republican party in the exposure
of corruption in Pennsylvania, are
not also knee-deep in the same mire.
The Pennsylvania exposure is of
no benefit to labor unless it arouses
new masses in the cities and on the
farms to struggle for political action
independent of both the old parties.

able to expose the tyranny of the
capitalist state and ultimately rally
sufficient strength to destroy it.
When Superintendent of Police
Walsh stopped the Communist May
Day meeting and when he ordered
all his subordinates to line up for
the mine-steel-railroad oligarchy, he
was carrying out his duty as an in
strument of the capitalist social
order that he supports. His kind
will exist as long as capitalism lasts.
Workers and farmers will not make
the laws until they become the DOM
inant power. This they should learn
from the Pennsylvania slush fund
exposures.
Chief of Police Walsh did his
duty, and will continue. to do 1t for
his class.
The workers and farmers must
learn to do their duty by their class

KELLOGG GIVES
LEAGUE NOTICE
NOT TO BUTT IN
Reply on Armenia Has a
Double Meaning

WASHINGTON, June rs. - Seeking
to keep the Monroe Doctrine promin-
emily on display, and probably remem-
bering that Armenia has no attractive
oil fields, either, the state department
replies to the protest signed by ITO
Episcopalian bishops against ratifica-
ton of the Turkish-American treaty
of Lausanne on the grounds that Tur-
key is expressing the Armenians, by
declining to interfere.
Secretary Kellogg cites President
Monroe's giving no more than sympa-
thy to the Greeks in 1923, and the u
S. instruction to consuls to give no
protection to christians in Turkey in
1890; then quoting Elihu Root in 1904,
Kellogg puts the Monroe Doctrine
right under the noses Of European i'm
perialists and reminds them that the
United States still claims to be the
overload OF the Western Hemisphere
in the following quotation given from
Root in that year:
The fulfillment of treaty obligations
between European states is distinctly
political question, as to which the
Western Hemisphere can have no
voice or part beyond expression of
sympathy within appropriate bounds
The proposition that the president
take the Initiative in converting a spe-
cial conference to settle the Armenian
question could not be admitted unless
1t we're admissible that an European
power could rightfully take similar
action to bring about special confer
ence for the settlement OF a question
Of the internal administration OF an
American republic, or OF the treaty re-
latlons of other American republics
thereto"
This citation dug up by Secretary
Kellogg is a reminder to the league of
nations, given thus indirectly. that the
Tacna-Arica dispute is none of It's bust
ness and that the United States wants
no meddling by British Imperialism in
"our empire" in Latin-America.

Scarfs are no longer a fad, but an

so many practical reasons to justify
