American Workers Must
Aid Mexican Labor Rid
Land of All Profiteers
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

ON which side are you?
~ Workers and farmers in the
United States may have some diff
hculty in deciding that question for
themselves as they view the strug-
gle between the Gales government
and the catholic church in Mexico.
It would not be difficult for them
to decide If they thoroly understood
the facts: foreign Oil interests, rub
Der corporations, great landholders,
and international bankers using the
cloak of religion to advance their
predatory designs against the Mex
lean masses.
That view is withheld from them
by the daily press that caters to the
power in Rome. Both the press and
the church battle in defense Of the
same prof1t-taking interests.
Let labor on this side Of the Rio
Grande, however, take one look at
the names of the score of captains
of industry, educators and men high
in political life," as the Chicago
Daily News puts it, that have been
invited by the Chicago lawyer, Jay
J. Mccarthy, to proceed to Mexico
and protest against the Gales gov
ernment's attack on the church. The
List includes some Of the most out
standing bandits Of big business and
sworn foes of labor in the United
States. Let them pass in review:
julius Rosenwald-Head of Sears
Roebuck 6 Co., exploiter of child
labor in its great mail order plants.
Foe of labor unions. Reaps great
profits by sending cheap goods at
high prices to the farmers.
H. S. Firestone-Head Of the Fire
stone Rubber company. Admits that
he is trying to tighten his grip on
$4,000 acres of rubber land In
Chiapas, Mexico. He is also trying
to get the United States government
to aid him in a similar venture in
the Philippines, were his agents are
playing the mohammedan against
the christian religions to gain their
own ends. Maintains open shop"
in great rubber plants at Akron, o.,
and elsewhere.
Henry and Edsel Ford-Also in
terested in rubber for his fivver
tires. Trade unions not tolerated by
the Ford System" of slavery. Sec
ond richest family in the world.
]. Pierpont Morgan-International
flnancier. Head Of the House of
Morgan, money lenders, with the
United States army and navy as its
debt collectors.
Samuel Observation-Disclosures
public utility magnate. Hero of the
recent slush fund investigation in
Chicago, in which it was shsswn that
he gave hundreds of thousands of
dollars to competing candidates for
the United States senatorship from
Illinois.
e. H. Gary-Head of the anti
union United States Steel corpora
ton. Champion of the 12-hour day
and the seven-day week that didn't
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-08-08

even allow religiously inclined work
ers a chance to go to church.
Charles H. Markman-Head Of the
bitterly anti-union Illinois Central
Railroad.
Federal Judge James H. WiIker-
son-He granted the injunction that
was used as a terrific weapon
against the striking railroad shop
men in 1922.
Edward J. Brundage--As attorney
general Of Illinois he led the legal
attack of the Illinois "open shop"
interests against the coal miners at
Herrin, Williamson County.
Stuyvesant Peabody-Head Of the
Consumers company, another great
foe of trade unionism in Chicago.
Ex-Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landslide won an unenviable rec
ord for judicial infamy by using the
war hysteria to cover up his attacks
on workers and workers organiza-
tons.
The list also includes the heads
Of the exclusive goose-step Harvard
and Yale universities. The section
devoted to politicians is graced by
Governor AL Smith and Mayor
James L. Walker, the lackeys of
Tammany Hall in New York City
and state.
1t will be seen that the catholics
are carefully interpreted with nom
catholics, many of them representa-
tive professionals.
But nowhere in the whole list is
to be found single individual that
might lay claim to the slightest pre-
tense to speak for the workers and
farmers of the United States. Even
the most loyal catholic labor official
is barred.
It might be well for American
labor to consider sending a delega-
ton Of its own to Mexico, not to
protest against the acts of Gales
government, but to uphold it in all
that it does to protect Mexican labor
against the aggressions of the i'm
perialist invaders.
American labor knows the Nor
gans, the FYrestones, the Fords, the
Rosenwalds, the insults, the Garys,
the Markhams, the Wilkersons and
Brundages. Labor knows that this
crowd supports only the enemies of
the working class.
Thus the decision as to the stand
of American labor in the present
Mexican crisis can easily be made.
The workers and farmers in the q.
S. can only fight for themselves by
fighting against the imperialist enc
mics of the Mexican revolution, in
Guiding the catholic church. They
must support the Mexican revolution
until every profiteer, native and
alien, is driven from Mexico and
real workers rule established. The
present struggle tends in that direc-
ton. 1t must therefore be crowned
with victory. Labor north of the
Rio Grande can aid achieve that
victory.

Before the war the empress did not
need the services of an army of pam

had plenty to spare. And yet things
have changed more in form than in
essence. The same paper that car

cheney of the party organization.
1t should be a matter of pride for
every party member and every
party functionary to do his or her
utmost to make the party ma
chinery work effectively.
The party is facing the fact
that only three hundred out of
eleven hundred party function
aries have worked efficiently in
carrying out a simple party task
the collection of the United
Labor Ticket Assessment of fifty
cents from the members of the
party.
There is still an opportunity
for those secretaries of party
nuclei who have not attended to
this work to snake good" The
period for the payment of the
assessment has been extended to
August Is. That will make three
months which will have elapsed
from the time the stamps were
sent to the secretaries. During
the ten days which remain the Sec
retaries who have not carried out
their duties in regard to this
assessment can secure a 1907
return, IF THEY MAKE A
REAL EFFORT.
The units Of the party today are
smaller than before the reorgan-
ization. It is comparatively
simple matter for the secretary of
those nuclei which have not paid
the assessment to call upon the
members during the ten days re-
naming between now and August
18th.
We ask these secretaries to
make q real effort to secure a
1009o collection.
This is how to do it.
Make a list Of those members
Of the nucleus who have not paid
the assessment. The list will prob
ably not contain more than five or
six or at most ten names.
The secretary should call at the
home Of each one of these mem
bers. Tell them of the Importance
of paying the assessment to keep
in good standing in the party ;
that a 1907 collection of fifty
cents from each member will
create a fund to help the party
drive forward in its work of
developing a united labor ticket
and independent political action
by the workers.
Collect the assessment.
Remit the payments of the mem
bers of the nucleus to the Ma
tionaJ Office.
If the nucleus is large another
member or two can be drafted to
help in making the rounds of those
who have not paid.
The visiting of the members of
the nucleus will not only secure
a 1907 collection of the assess
ment. 1t can be made the means
Of drawing inactive members back
into the party work. 1t will help
to build a better party organiza-
ton.
This is not a big job which we
are suggesting. Every party
nucleus secretary can carry it
thru without any great sacrifice.
But it IS thru the efficient erecu-
ton Of such little jobs that the
party organisation is strengthen
ed and built up.

Through tie Static

A right excellent night with sta tions near and far breaking through with great volume. There was no static to speak of and the buzz dldn t stand a chance. With several more evenings just like that we'll almost take faith in radio again.
 An elaborate Santa Claus program, done up brown in the regulation WIZ style, was offered at that sta ton. This Santa Claus did not ap- pear before the microphone all alone to tell of his visit in few weeks. No, sir! He had an instrumental trio with him and he also demonstrated a variety of new toys. Toy pianos and talking dolls were featured. The trio filled in with tunes dear to the hearts of children, Around The Mu!- berry Bush, :" London Bridge is Fall ing Down" and Water, Water, Wild Flower" were among the se- lections. The program should have pleased the children, all right.
 WBZ, Springfield, affected by the general move for improvement, came through clear and strong and the music by Murray's orchestra was doubly pleasing. Elsie Schultzen- heim," that Germaniacal ditty, was offered, as were If l Only Had You" and Southern Ditties." Vocal efforts on the part of members of the band helped things along, piano. banjo and drums maintaining the tempo during these bursts of song.
