Socialist" Press
Not Helping Striking
Fur and Textile Workers

NEW YORK CITY.-We are a
group of students interested in, be-
cause we realize our status as COM
ponent part. of, the working class
movement. We feel that we are JUS
tilted in bringing to the attention Of
our fellow students, and to those Of
the working class who do not yet
seem aware of it, the fact that there
is something rotten with a group Of
people who claim to be working for
the best interests of the laboring
class. There is something rotten with
the newspapers thru which these peo-
pie make known their opinions, thru
which they attempt to mislead the
worker. These are the socialist lead
ers. and their papers, like the For
ward, the American Appeal, etc.
The working class is at present en-
gagged in fighting a tremendous war,
and at least two battles in that war
stand out today as being important.
These are the Passaic textile strike,
and the Furriers' strike. The Passaic
textile strike is a fight of the labor
ers for the bread of life, a fight for
the right to live as human beings,
and not as blind mules in mine, not
as machines grinding out dollars and
profits for capitalism. The fur strike,
too, is such a fight Of the worker for
life as a human.
These are important battles, and

Our Readers Views
From Bad to Worse.

Dear Friend: 1t takes money even
to read. If the little merchants in
this town would close their stores,
there would be starvation here.
Things are going from bad to worse,
still the men are loyal TO their union.
The mine I worked at worked eight
days in January and February, that
is eight days in two months. There
are more people living on the county
than ever, more poverty than in
Cleveland's administration (1S9495.)

MARINE CORPS
HEAD DICTATES
HAITIAN POLICY
Puppet Ignores Demand
for New Elections

WASHINGTON, March 12.--In his
fourth annual report as American
high commissioner In Haiti, Brig. Gen.
John H. Russell of the Marine Corps
tells Secretary OF State Kellogg Of the
benefits" of American military. domi-
nation Of that nominal republic. Rus
sell is it's ruler, but he maintains, upon
instructions from Washington, a pup
pet native government headed by one
Borno. In this report he mentions
construction of roads and other public
works, development of schools and
sanitation, reorganization of public
finances, and the appointment Of the
National City Bank of New York as
fiscal agent. He then denounces the
Haitian press for its ceaseless oppo-
Hition, and devotes many pages to-
explaining Borno's refusal to carry
out the constitutional requirements
that a new congress be elected on
January 10, 1925.
"A free press" says Russell, Ito
them apparently means an unlicensed
press, and consequently when the Hal
tian government deems their annoy
ing attacks important enough to take
means to curb their verbose SANDER
and malice against governmental and
diplomatic officials they vehemently
protest that the government is inter-
fering with their liberty of action"
Refuse to Hold Elections.
Borno's refusal to call elections
created tumult in Haiti, the mill
tary governor admits. But he defends
It deliberately as being necessary in
view of the illiteracy Of the masses.
He says IS per cent are peasants, who
have the mentality Of a child Of z
years, and that the literate class in
the towns did not vote, in the old
days, because their numbers were too
small to count. Borno used this ex-
cuse for ignoring the constitution and
for calling only communal elections
last January. He quotes at length
from Borno's letter to the projects,
in which Borno says it is his firm
design" to carry out the constitutional
mandate, but only at some future time
when the people shall have estab-
lished political parties and have
created an intelligent electorate.
Meanwhile, says the puppet president,
Haiti enjoys more freedom under
American rule than ever she did I'M
der independence.
"The freedom Of the press" he says,
els absolute; the law which governs
1t is made only to suppress abuses,
defamation, outrage, provocation to
crime, all those intolerable excuses
by which the old revolutionary demon,
impatient to break his chains, mani
tests himself from time to time"
Develop Rubber Plantations.
Russell predicts that with improved
sanitary conditions and higher stand
ards, the population, now 100000.
will rapidly increase, and the cost of
living will likewise increase. This, he
says. will require much greater pro-
duction from the soil, if the people
are not to suffer. He announces sue
cess in experiments in rubber produc-
ton, as offering one line Of develop
ment.
Martial law, he remarks, has been
invoked only on "rare occasions" in
the past year. American officers and
marines have been taught that they
must maintain friendly relations"
with the Haitians.
