ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 90
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
and the. members of the fedora
tion's executive council, left AL
bany today for Plattsburg consid-
erably perturbed because Gov
ernor al Smith failed to keep a
dinner engagement with the labor
leaders here last night. Green
has never met Governor Smith
and the labor men counted on
their getting acquainted.

To please the vanity and crafty

TIclANS? To fulfill so-calIed
promise contained in the Jones bill
preamble, said to have been written
by President Wilson, AND WHICH
is NO MORE BINDING or peremp-
tory than the commitments made by
Mr.. Wilson at Versailles? Emphasis
mine)
THE process by which the imperial
4 list spokesman arrive at the con-
clusion that independence for the Fill
pinos is inadvisable is a splendid ex-
ample of the method by which the
business interests of the capitalist
class dictate foreign policy. 1t is first
determined that the Philippines are
rich in natural resources. Then it is
discovered that they can be made still
richer (rather that the American rul-
ers can be made still richer) by con-
yerting part of the islands into rubber
plantations. Then it is found that
they are necessary as base for bust
ness in the competitive Pacific area.
ONLY one thing is lacking-it must
~ be shown that they are valuable
as military and. naval base and that
other imperialist nations could and
would use them.
j. w. Wainwright, former assistant
secretary of war, furnishes the final
argument. In the New York Times
for August 8 we find the following re-
port of Wainwright's speech at Will
liamstown:
Discussing the possibility of Japan
taking over the Islands upon Ameri-
can withdrawal, MIR. Wainwright
said that ENGLAND HAD THE
GREATEST INTEREST IN THE
PHILIPPINES. He pointed out that
THE PHILIPP PINES WERE
ATHWART THE PATH OF ENG
LAND TO AUSTRALIA, CHINA
AND JAPAN and quoted the remark
made to him by British official,
who said: "lf you pulled out,
JAPAN MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO
BE THERE BY DINNER, BUT WE
CERTAINLY WOULD BE THERE
BY TIFFlN." (Empasis mine)
HAVING satisfied themselves on
IL this last and vital point, American
Imperialism then discovers that the
promise of independence in the Jones
bill does not need to be kept.
The moral justification for breaking
the promise, in accord with the die
tates of the elastic conscience any
good imperialist must have, is that in
dependence would be bad thing for
the Filipinos.
Again we quote from the report of
the Wainwright speech: The Amer
lean government, Mr.. Wainwright
said, was convinced that independ-
ence would be misfortune and
could easily be a disaster for the
Filipino people.

The open shoppers, several weeks
ago announced the establishment OF a
fund of $4,000. 900 with which to carry
on the fight. They have been deaf to
all Intervention and mediation, altho
the workers have been in conference
with Prosecuting Attorney Stanton,
who has attempted to settle the strike.
The painters met in special meet
ings and gave full power to the strike
committee to negotiate q settlement
of the strike. During the recent days
there have been reports of "vandal-
ISM" physical violence and attempted
and accomplished explosions.
An open Shop Fight.
Now the defy has been thrown down
to the painters and glaciers. THE
time for negotiation has. passed" the
master painters say. "The train has
left" In the monthly journal of the
chamber of commerce an article en-
titled "A Fight to Finish" declares
THAT the only solution to the "intol-
cradle condition is the open shop"
The master painters feel secure in
that the scabs and thugs that they
have brought to town are protected
by Safety Director Barry, and even
fremen have been put on the job.
Building is on the decline in Cleve,
land and the bosses feel safe, partic-
ularly since they are getting full po-
lice protection. But what of the
union?
Unions Divided.
Unfortunately, the situation in the
building trades of Cleveland leaves
much to be desired. There are two
building trades councils, and only re-
Gently the building laborers' union
was split by a benevolent and pro-
tective association" being formed and
afiliating to the council which does
not belong to the Cleveland Fedora
ton of Labor. Then, further, the
painters and GLACIERS, in their strike
have been quite alone. II is true that
there has been no scabbing on the
part of the unions, but instead Of mill
fancy supporting the painters and gla-
izers and bringing the strike to an
early close, the other trades have
gone on working, giving only moral
and perhaps financialZaid to the
painters and GLACIERS.
This is due in part to the fact that
The contracts of the different unions
terminate at different times and run
Tor different periods. fhe move is
now on to have all the contracts end
on May /. There must BE something
more, however, and thai is that all
contracts must be for ny longer than
one year.
Bosses Have United Front.
The entire building trades must take
the threat Of the open shoppers very
seriously. The lineup Of the banks,
chamber Of commerce, manufacturers
association and the police against the
workers shows whom the workers
have to fight The building trades
must realize that If the strike Of the
painters and GLACIERS is broken and
the men have to return to work de
feated, then the fight will begin all
along the line. The painters defeated
then the fight will be started against
the carpenters, bricklayers and thu
others. It is perfectly clear, there
fore, that the first trenches must b,
held, and therefore the building trades
have two questions to face:

Symphony Program Notes
The Fifth Symphony in e minor,
Opus Ga, contains many passages
of nawless beauty, familiar to most
music lovers. In four movements,
the first "Andante Allegro con
ANNA" opens with an exceedingly
somber theme, thought to have
stood for the Russian people in
their upward struggle for political
betterment. This leads to the Allie
gro con ANNA, more animated in
character, with two themes, one
melancholy and the other bright
and vigorous.
The passionate and sensuous ro
nance in "Andante Cantabile' of
the second movement is one Of
the most popular compositions
Tschaikowsky ever wrote. Super
scribed as waltz" the third
movement, allegro moderate" is
a wonderfully beautiful piece of
delicate designing.
The final movement begins with
the original theme played softly
as though the consecrated armies
of the people were approaching
for battle. Developed into the
Allegro vivace" (alla breve) which
is worked out with subsidiary
themes, when a long pause en-
sues, after which the cyclic theme
in the major enters in It's most
majestic form and the symphony
ends with immense climax.
