Political Weakness.

TN terms of political power the for
eign workers are in most instances
almost a zero-a reflection of their
lack of power on the economic field.
Naturalization restrictions success
fully deprive them Of even the right
to vote. Out of twelve million for
eign-born persons of voting age, over
four million are listed as aliens with
out the right to vote. The capitalist
state power, therefore, lays its hand
most heavily on the foreign born-in
the courts, thru the passage of dis
criminatory legislation (Holaday, bill)
and thru the Interpretation given to
existing statutes, when the foreigner
is the subject of discussion. 1t is no
stretch of the imagination to view the
various racial groups in the United
States as so many oppressed national
tiles or sections thereof, who for pur-
poses of capitalist exploitation have
been transported to these shores.
For Labor Party.
THE labor party campaign offers the
4 millions of foreign-born workers of
this country a new hope of relief from
the intolerable oppression under which
they have groaned these many years.
At one sweeping stroke it offers them
an opportunity of establishing their
citizenship, if not in the most individ-
ual sense, then collectively. In every
organization, therefore, in which there
are foreign-born workers the question
of supporting a movement for a labor
part Tor united labor ticket should
be raised-in the unions, clubs. fra
ternal orders, etc. The American
/ workers especially, in the trade
unions, should be made to feel the
pressure and the demand of the mil
lions of foreigners for their right to a
decisive share in the political life of
this country. In foreign countries eng
land, Germany, France and Soviet
Russia) the workers already WELD
considerable political power. The for
eign born should inspire the American
workers with a desire for political
power equal to that of the workers in
other lands.
While the movement for labor indie
pendent political action in America
must of necessity be led by a consid-
cradle number of Americans, there is
no doubt that the wave of protest and
rebellion developing among the for
eign born will do much to stimulate
and strengthen it. Active cooperation
between the native and the foreign
born workers in the building up of a
powerful labor party movement in
! America, in the building up of strong
defensive and offensive political
weapon against the American capital
ist class will not only help to wipe
out the economic. social and political
discrimination against the foreign
born, but it will more than anything
else unity the labor movement of this
country, break the barriers between
| foreign born and native born, and
mark the first step toward the estab-
lishment of workers and farmers
government in America and toward
| the downfall of the American capital
! list class.

MILL BARONS
SEEK TO FRAME
ALBERT WEISBORD
Use Jacob Nosovitsky in
Crude Stunt
(speeIaI to Lac Daily Workerl

NEW YORK, July THE attempt
to frame-up Albert Weisbord, head of
the Passaic strike committee, follows
Immediately upon the statement is
sued by the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor after
its final session in Cincinnati July 1.
The statement issued by President
Green is as follows:
THE executive council Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at a meeting
held in Cincinnati beginning June rs,
gave serious consideration not only
to the Communistic activities among
the working people in many sections
of the country, but also to the forma-
ton of organizations assuming to
speak for labor, and which the ex-
ecutive council believes are Commun-
istic in make up, in principle and in
purpose.
Facts disclose that the so-called
United Front Committee which or
ganized and is carrying on a strike
in Passaic, N. j., has no relationship
to the American Federation of Labor.
The leaders of the United Front Com
mittee are prominently identified with
the Communistic movement in the
United States. It is reasonable to con-
clude, because of their relationship to
the Communist Party, that they are
interested in advancing the cause of
Communism.
1.-THE United Front Committee at
Passaic has obtained large sums OF
money for the alleged purpose of
carrying on the strike. Much OF che
money contributed came from indi-
viduals directly associated with the
American Federation of Labor. The
poor striking mill workers appealed
to the sentiment of many Of the men,
bers of organized labor, consequently
they responded to the appeal for funds
in most generous way.
"The American Federation of Labor
is of the opinion that any contribu-
tions made by members should be used
only for the purpose of relieving dis
tress among the striking textile work
ers and their families. For the reason
all contributions made by organized
labor should be sent to Charles James
Walsh, secretary of the Trades and
Labor Council, TIA Sherman Street,
Passaic, N. j., bona fide American
Federation of Labor organization.
"The membership Of organized labor
should not contribute funds to be used
for the purpose of advancing the cause
Of dual organization or to pay the
salaries Of Communist leaders who are
seeking the destruction OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the sub
stitution of a Communistic organiza-
ton in its stead"
/ PASSAIC, N. j., July Z. - Strike
headquarters at 743 Main Avenue,
Passaic, gave out statement today
In which are given the findings of w.
Jett Lanck, labor economist, which
have been submitted to the senate
committee on education and labor. Mr..
Lauck, the statement says, discovered
amazing discrepancies between the
fortunes OF the bosses and the starva-
ton wages OF the workers"
"The boss sells suit OF clothes
for $780," says the statement, quoting
Mr.. Lauck. "The textile workers that
made the cloth get $3.50 and the mills
make profits Of 81 per cent. The tex
tile worker has to send his wife and
children to the mills to keep his family
| from starving"

MONEY CAUSED
 BUDLONG'S TRIALS
This Is His Explanation Of
 MaritaI Differences

Newport, R. l., July GPl-"It was always the question of money. You Were trying 10 get as much as you could out of your husband" said Milton J. Budlong today in the course of cross examination by his wife, Mrs. Jessie Margaret Budlong in the hearing of his petition for divorce.
 Mrs Budlons had been question ing her husband as to the nature of threats he had chGrg.d her with making.
 What were these throats?" she asked.
 That I would give you the money you wanted: If you did not get it you would leave me-you would di- yorCe me-
 Asked for her exact words, MT. BuLIong said the threats had been made on so many occasions that he could not remember but in sub stance bo said the situation vas ;his:
 "'You were dissatisfied with yonr husband in almost all things. IL was always the subject of money"
 At the outset of today's session, Mrs, Budlong, who yesterday dis charged her counsel and took over lhe conduct Of her case. withdrew all objections which her counsel had made to the bill Of particulars and to the transcript of the testimony in previous trials in which she had sought separation.
 She handled the continued cross examination of her husband like veteran lawyer. Questions came from her in quick succession and she never seemed at q loss as 10 how 10 proceed, although there were frequent objections by Mir. Bud- longs counsel.
 Much of her questioning vas de- voted to the Budlong financial af- fairs. drawing out details as to in- come and expenses. At one point in this connection Mrs. Budlong. ap- rarenUy forgetting that this partic- ular casc had been instituted by her husband, exclaimed:
 This defendant is telling q dcib- crate falsehood.'
 As to their relations in the latter part of 1920 when they were at Greenwich. Mr. 3udlong testified.
 she refused to allow the maid tc put my room in order simply 10 annoy me-
 Mrs. BudIong asked him whether she was living with him as his wife at Southampton in 1922 adding:
 Did you occupy the same bed and bedroom with Mrs. Budlong2" 9"
 No, he answered. "Only part of the summer"
 Did you have any witnesses that Mrs. Budtong refused to live with you in 1922"
 None in particular"
 Then it's your word against hcls?"
 "Certaiuly."
 There lengthy questioning about automobiles which Mr. Budlong had offered his wife.
 Why did you offer a $7Q00 car 10 Q wife who would not live with you?"
 "Bccause I thought great deal of Mrs. Budlong and my family and Eoped she would accept and stop threatening divorce and live with me on a proper basis"
 After he had enumerated several cars he had offered 10 buy, Mrs, BudlouC remarked:
 You've missed one, but I will not annoy the judge any longer"
 Thank you" said Judge Blod- get.
