LaGuardia Now Regular
Republican After His
1924 Election as Socialist
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHu.

copied as their own in 1924. placing
him upon their own ticket as part
of their duty" to the LaFollette
campaign. LaGuardia had tried but
failed to get the republican nomina-
ton and political fortunes ar Q not
served we'll by running "indepen-
dent" So LaGuardia was really
elected as a socialist, the capitalist
press called him a socialist, he was
listed as socialist in congress,
altho he made vehement denial that
he was socialist
This is the kind of politics play
ed by the HillQuit-Cahan-Oneal So
cialists in New York City in the
name of independent political action
for the working class. 1t was their
way of campaigning for the labor
party on the one hand, while at
lacking the Communists on the
other.
It will be interesting to read
what the socialists, especially the
editors of the New Leader, will have
to say about this latest maneuver Of
their late political bedfellow. It may
be taken for granted that The New
York Times states the situation cor
rectly when it says:
Assurances were given at this
meeting (of members of the repub-
lican county committee) that La
Guardia had said that he would ac-
lively support Senator Wadsworth
for recollection, and also would sup
port the Coolidge administration
and Speaker Nicholas Longworth as
member Of the house."
This is the LaGuardia, who now
supports the favorite kept politicians
of Wall Street, that the socialists
would have used as material with
which to build labor party, claim
ing that this could be done better
by catering to If not winning over a
few leaders prominent in the old
political parties. The socialists
failed to join in an appeal to the
masses of workers and farmers.
They remained away from tn Farm
er-Labor gatherings in Chicago and
st. Paul, in 1923 and 1924. They
fawned upon the heads of the Con-
ference for Progressive Political
Action, who did yeomen service for
capitalism by betraying the Farmer
Labor movement into the LaFollette
camp that has now been surrounded
and completely captured by the reg
ular republican organization.
1t is upon this record of absolute
political bankruptcy that the social
lists come before the workers and
farmers seeking support.
The workers will reply, with the
words of popular saying, "Once,
but not twice"

announcement asserted, was taken
after the priests had declared their

More Hostile Attitude.
While both sides at this time last
week were issuing conciliatory state
ments, the situation now appears to
have taken more non-conciliatory
turn.
According to reports from reliable
sources the government is determined
not only to enforce the existing reli-
gious regulations but also proposes to
submit supplementary regulations to
congress, which would curb the influ-
ence of the church in temporal affairs.

More Power or Less to
General Council
Especial 20 The Daily worksr)

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Fierce discus
sion is expected when the general
Trade Union Congress opens its an.
nual convention on September over
the question of whether or not to
grant wider powers to the General
Council in calling general strikes.
More Power to General Council.
The General Council has tried and
may be successful in sl5etracking the
discussion desired by the progressive
element on the betrayal of the general
strike by the General Council.
The progressives, however, insist
that the General Council be given
even wider powers than at present in
calling a general strike in defense of
vital principles and wish the council
to be empowered to give all aid pos.
sible to local trades councils in carry
ing out functions of control in such
instances.
Reaction Seeks to Cripple Council.
This view is supported by the on.
glneers (macnlnlsts), the laundry and
furnishing trades among others. The
conservatives and all reactionary lead.
ers are working feverishly to restrict
the powers OF the General Council for
curtailing its powers by providing
that referendums and like obstacles
be put in the way before the council
can act in defense of any section OF
the labor movement attacked by the
combined forces Of the employers and
government.
Havelock Wilson, known as the
"Gompers" OF England. and reaction
airy head Of the National Sailors and
Firemen's Union, supports this view,
as does the Plasterers', Granolithlc
and Cement Workers Association
heads.

Military Training Camps are still in
their infancy. They are only six
years old. The program of the War
Department is far more ambitious
than this years enrolment of only
fifty odd thousand "citizen soldiers"
for the entire nine army corps areas
would indicate. The appropriations
from congress are getting bigger every
year and the enrollments and gradua-
tons into the reserve forces will get
bigger every year. This program
needs publicity therefore.

REPRESENTATIVE Fiorello II.
~ La Guardia, the republican So
cialist member of congress, who
proclaimed to the world that, 'Tt is
better to be right than regular" has
finally decided to be Irregular" once
more.
The republican county committee
in New York has again received
LaGuardia to it's bosom and he will
get the party nomination in the
goth congressional district unoppos-
ed. His reelection is predicted as
a regular republican" without any
socialist label.
This is another concrete instance
of the workings of the Coolidge
Mellon4Butler administration policy
of roping the "progressives" and
tying them in knot much as the
cowboys and the cowgirls do their
stunts at the rodeo.
The cowpunchers take on all COM
ers, for the delectation of the city
folk. 1t does not matter whether
the animals to be roped are full
grown or calves, short horn or long
horn. Similarly the national repub-
lican congressional campaign COM
mittee, in Chicago, has announced
that it is going to treat all republi-
can candidates alike, whether It is
senatorial candidate, Smith w.
Brookhart, in Iowa; the LaFollette-
Blaine outfit in Wisconsin, or last
but not least, LaGuardia in New
York City.
They are all regulars" now. If

and join in the LaFollette "third

LaGuardia was a typical republi-
can progressive" in one of those
sections of New York City where
radicaism is strong. The socialists
developed the greatest opposition
to LaGuardia in the days before,
during and Immediately after the
war. LaGuardia's patriotism had
surpassed that of the socialists in
that he had gone abroad as major
in the Aviation Corps during the
world war. Part Of his duty as aviator
was going thru Italy making speech

stay in the war and fight for their
masters.

lands CROWD
PLACES GUNNER
IN LOOP STRIKE
Bricklayers Continue;
Steel Work Stopped

The strike on the twenty-five story
Office building at 100 West Monroe St.
shows that there is not sufficient SOL
idarity and cooperation on the part
of some of the building trades work
ers to thoroly prevent work on jobs
which the Chicago Building Trades
Council desires to strike.
The structural and ornamental iron
workers, the electricians, steam filters
and elevator workers are off solid. No
steel is going up at all. All building
laborers belonging to the union are
striking, but there are couple Of
dozen non-union laborers observable,
trucking material about on the ground
floor, and cleaning up, under the PRO
lection" of almost as many police and
special guards.
The Bricklayers & Stone Masons'
Union is not striking. Union brick
layers are slowly raising the walls,
which are now little above the fifth
ofor.
Strike over Plumbers.
The carpenters are working but they
were not union men to start with. The
building was struck not so much on
account of the presence of non-union
carpenters as because the union
plumbers were forced to work along
side Of non-union plumbers. There do
not seem to be any plumbers at work
today; building workers watching the
activity of the bricklayers opined that
the plumbers work was up to the rest
of the construction, and further in
stallment of plumbing awaited further
raising of the walls and interior.
The use of non-union plumbers
along with union plumbers is even a
violation of the Lands award model
contract, which prohibits strikes in
any trade because of the use of non.
union men in another trade on the
same construction, but does not allow
the mixing of non-union and union
men except under special circum-
stances, and then on working cards of
the union.
Lands Award Taking.
The entire Lands award program
is largely bluff, according to informa-
ton of workers for small contractors,
sub-contractors, etc. If a special part
of the construction work is sub-con-
tracted, the lesser contractor may
operate under the Lands award,
whereupon the citizens Lands Award
committee promptly labels the entire
building Lands Award" and places
all it's forces at the disposal of any
employer in case of strikers there.
The citizens committee now claims
to have control of five percent of the
building construction now going on in
Chicago, but union men say that If
due consideration is given to this trick
of the committee, the percentage will
be even much less.
Citizens Committee Guards.
Thomas E. Donnelley, chairman Of
the citizens committee, is boasting in
statement to the press that the job
at 100 West Monroe st. will be finish
ed on scheduled time, April l, and the
committee already has it's troop Of
private detectives in all entrances to
the building. One large stomached
guard admitted to a representative Of
