national and international working
class unity, and to help them to bring
into existence one all-inclusive world
wide federation of trade unions"
For or Against Unity
Is it possible to dispute these find
ings if they arise from the interests
of the working class? Can one say
that the joint advisory council has
laid on the colors too thick or over
estimated the danger Of growing re-
action. 1t would be difficult to find
a single worker who could assert this.
Every honest proletarian must ac-
knowledge that without unity there is
no salvation. The Scarborough con-
gress and the declaration of the Anglo
Russian committee bring the Amster-
dam International face to face with
the question Of unity. Now their
Jesuits, formulae, lawyers and chican-
cry are of no use. A clear and defin-
ite answer must be given-for or
against the Russian committee-for or
against unity; we on our part answer
clearly and without any prevarication
for Scarborough, for the declaration
Of the Anglo-Russian committee.
Thus the cause of unity has entered
on a new phase, but this does not
mean that we are already on the eve
Of the solution of this complicated
problem. BY no means. Now, the re-
suits OF the ratification OF the Anglo.
Russian agreement are beginning to
aprout tnruout the entire world labor
movement. In the reformist unions
the question will arise as to whether
to follow the Britlshers or the Ger
mans, I. e., for or against unity. The
German trade union bureaucrats have
placed themselves In such position
whereby they have become the center
of theological reaction In theYworld
trade union movement. II was their
desire and now they will receive their
deserts.

of this disdain for the fine Havana ci-

eminently careful, personal, Cuban

The general situation of Cuba has
been and is that of colonial coun-

The British and German trade un-
ions include approximately rs per cent
of the Amsterdam International (their
forces are now numerically equaD
The German trade unions, just as in
pre-war days, are now commencing to
play an important role in the interna-
tional, but this role is of a different
nature. Before the war they forged
ahead of other trade unions and in
fact the British trade unions Jagged
very far behind. Now things have
changed to a considerable extent. The
German trade unions are at the tail
end of the European trade union move
ment, while the British trade unions
occupy a position which provoked saw
age attacks on the part of all the con-
servative and reactionary elements in
the world labor movement.
If we compare the congresses of
Breslau and Scarborough and the
trade union and socialist press of
Germany and of Great Britain, we see
that the British trade union move
ment is emerging from the narrow
framework of economism, is tearing
asunder the old conservative trade
union traditions and is setting itself
general class tasks. On the other hand
we see that the German social-demo-
cratic trade union movement is sink
ing deeper and deeper il 10 the mire
of the class truce and is donning the
old cast-off trade union garments.
Whereas the Britishers are deciding
questions as to factory and workshop
committees and are seeking forms
and methods for increasing the fight
ing power of the trade unions, are
organizing themselves for the coming
struggle and are discussing in the so
cialist press the problem as to wheth-
er the workers should arm for the
struggle against reaction-the Ger
man trade unions are busy with
workers banks, are idolizing building
guilds, jabbering about economic de-
mocracy, are bowling lower and lower
before the bourgeoisie and are per-
sistently persuading it to adopt the
united front with the trade unions.
The British trade union movement has
faced around towards the U. S. S. r.
and taken up firm anti-militarist pos
ition, while the German trade union
movement Is further consolidating its
anti-Soviet and anti-Communist posi-
tions.
Amsterdam Divided.
What is the position of Amsterdam
after all these congresses Can 1t
count on the British trade unions
any longer? The most optimistic
leader OF the Amsterdam Interna-
tional was compelled TO say no.
The conflict between the British trade
unions and the right wing of the AM
sterdam international after Scarbor-
ough is growing to considerable Dir
mensions. Morally speaking, the Brit
ish trade unions are no longer within
the Amsterdam international, altho'
they still remain there organizational,.

five more mills would come out.
Cheers swept the halls at which the
10000 strikers had gathered to cele-
brate the fourth week of their strug-
gle when this announcement was
made, for this mill holds strategic
position in the local conflict. Every

shouting about unheard of successes
of the Amsterdam International and
its would-be numerous legions. Scar
borough signifies an theological en-
strangement from the Amsterdam In
ternational and an theological rap
prochement with the revolutionary
trade union movement. And this is of
great Importance for the world labor
movement.
An analysis of the work of these
congresses bears witness to the fact
that revolutionary ideas have pene-
trated so far into the Amsterdam In
ternational that entire national organ
izations are becoming "infected."
These congresses have brilliantly con-
firmed the correctness of the Comm
tern and r. /. l.. U. tactics and the
question of International trade union
unity. There is no more popular idea
and slogan than unity. That is why
even the bitterest enemies of unity
have been compelled to struggle
against us, not with open visors, but
by means of all kinds of underhand
backbiting. But this does not worry
us in the least
The united front has passed from
the propaganda and agitational stage
and entered the organizational stage.
The ratification of the Anglo-Soviet
unity committee by the Scarborough
congress, the commencement of work
of this committee signify the practical
realization of the united front. The
agreement between the British and
Soviet trade unions refutes every
thing the Second and Amsterdam In
ternationals have written and spoken
concerning the united front and unity.
The united front and unity have been
realized-such is the. conclusion that
millions of workers will arrive at af-
ter Scarborough If There were the
slightest doubt as to this, the declara-
tion of the joint advisory council
should disperse these doubts. Indeed

"The Industrial ana economic situ-
alton, aggravated by the Dawes Plan
in most of the countries, has become
worse since the beginning of this year.
Unemployment is worldwide in its
effects and is steadily increasing. The
attacks of the employing class on the
workers hours and wages become
more and more definite and deliberate.
Parallel with the growth OF eco
nomic reaction, the political situation
had become more and more reaction

is known in history as the Swindle
Treaty, for while the United States
exports to Cuba every kind of article
of consumption, Cuba is able to ex-
port to the United States nothing
more than she produces, which means
sugar. But that was only the begin
ming. An American senator, Mr.. Ford
ney was of the opinion that the swim
die was not complete enuf and pro-
posed a special tariff for zone Of the
products of Cuba: sugar.
At the present time sugar pays an
import duty 13 per cent above the
earlier arrangement Nevertheless,
the U. S. differential in favor of Cuba
as against others keeps Cuban sugar
out of the world market.
These customs fences and the con-
ditions of maritime traffic make it i'm
possible for Cuba to think of trading
with any other country than the
United States. Lords of our com
merce, masters of the national pros
perity, the Yankees pull the strings
of Cuban economic life at their will;
at the caprice of Wall Street, Cuban
sugar rises or falls, and as sugar is
the sole product, the entire economy
of the nation rises or falls in unison.
Under these conditions it is impos-
sible for the most intelligent bour-
geoisie to develop it's finances. Bour-
geois production is anarchic; imper-
ialist production is chaos squared and
cubed At the present time Cuba is in
economic decline; perhaps she will
not succeed in finding her feet again.
This depends on the national resist
ance, on the small proprietors, the
colonos of the sugar-cane fields
Workers Like Coolies.
At present the sugar workers are
being gradually reduced to the posi-
tion of coolies. The price of one
cent does not cover the cost of colono
production of cane. AS a result the
entire country is in bankruptcy. AL
ready workers are toiling in the fields
for no other recompense than their
meals; soon there will not be even
that. Only the government appears

Relief Work weII ORGANIZES.

PASSAIC, N. j., Feb. "a - Coffee
booths have been established in the
halls where the pickets go after they
have done their trick in the line. Hot
coffee and good sandwiches taste
mighty fine after a march of several
miles around the mills in the cold of
the morning, and the relief committee
realizes that many of the pickets are
not too well fed at home. nor have
they clothing that keeps them any
too warm.
The relief store where needy famil-
les may secure food and groceries has
opened and is now serving all who
are destitute. No striker need go
without the proper food and clothing.
Money is coming in from different
unions and from many other sources
One church in Passaic took up col
lection of over $40 and handed it to
the strike committee with the assur-
ance that all possible assistance would
be given until the strike is settled.

Bulletin is out. The strikers furnish

threat Of the textile bosses that they
would get the police to close the halls
to the strikers has been toned down
considerably by the visit of organizer
Weisbord and Attorney Unger to the
mayor and commissioner of public
safety These officials were informed
that no violence would occur unless
provoked by themselves. The delega-
tion stated that the police had been to
blame for the trouble thus far. The
police, however, they added, have only
acted because of orders from their
superiors.

of the six strikers who have been ar

along. 1t is evident the bosses have
not decided what they want to do with
them. They are charged with disor&
erly conduct, their crime consisting in
having been on the picket line and
in not having made as swift a dash
for the cemetery as the police fancy
they should when ordered to move on.

were received, one from the Della

Thomas f. Kilroy, local auto

tract for Ford dump truck to be

bidder at $545, The city has been
having to pay one dollar an hour
for use of truck, and on nine

it is safely estimated that the cost
of the truck will be saved in few
months.

George Cronce, Pennington bar
Der, was tried last week on the
charge of desertion, and was given
a suspended sentence of $500 fine
or five months in Jail. He was di-
rected by the court to pay $50 a
week toward the support of his
wife and four children, and in the
event he fails to do this the sus-
pended sentence automatically takes
effect
Mrs. Cronce and her children lived
in Lambertville from November of
last year until few weeks ago Her
Youngest child was born here. and
as they were in need, the matter
vss brought to .lle attention o.
Mayor Moonan. He preferred charges
against Cronce, but il was found tfat
previous charges were already lodg-
ed against hin in Pennington
As Mrs. Cronce and the children
were in danger of becoming pub
ic charges, Mayor Moonan had them
moved to Pennington, where Cronce is
a resident, in an effort to secure
action on the part of Pennington
officials in having him provide for
them. This brought the desired re-
suit, and the Boro of Pennington
paid for the moving, provided a
house and paid the bill for Mrs.
Cronce's confinement when her
child was born.

WHEELER PLAYED SAFE.

At nearly the last moment Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, and for several
years it's chief spokesman, changed
his mind about appearing as wit
ness before the United States SEN
ate committee that is investigating
prohibition enforcement
There Is but one conclusion to be
drawn from this change of plans
Mr.. Wheeler was afraid to meet the
ross-examination which Senator
Reed had pepared to give him, and
to explain some of the statements
and claims he has been giving out
to the public.
An old couplet runs: HE who
fights and runs away will live to
fight another day." Let us hope
that General Counsel Wheeler will
be forced to realize its truth He
undoubtedly played safe in refusing
to take place on the witness stand
and be sworn to tell the whole truth.
