Gary Kept Press
Boasts of Police
Record for 1926

GARY, Ind, July 20. - Every day
the Gary Post Tribune boasts about
some great accomplishments of the
steel city of Gary. Recently it boosted
about the police record of Gary.
1857 persons wereNarrested by the
police in Gary for the first months of
1926.
great accomplishment for the police
departments the opinion of the
Gary Post Tribune.
We are rather inclfHed to see the
other side of the question:
1857 were charged with committing
crimes" More than one halg for
violating liquor laws.
We say that this record is a record
of criminality of the steel trust. Give
the steel mill officials including the
honorable Mr.. Gary, the same wages
as the steel workers get, put them in
the same house where the steel work
ers live, let them do for a while the
same work as the steel workers are
doing at the open hearth in the hot
mills in the coke house and by-pro-
ducts plant-and they will not only
get drunk but may be commit suicide.

Where Is Russia Going?
BY HARRISON GEORGE.

TN previous issues we showed how an
anarchist element in the l. w. W.,
by getting that organization to pub
fish an attack on Soviet Russia, was
injuring the organization before the
eyes of the workers and voicing the
philosophy of the petty bourgeoisie, a
class whose sun has set.
But when an anarchist ventures so
far into the maze of ideas as to say
two words, he makes three mistakes.
The writer of the article, stoutly up
holding the interests of the petty bour-
geoisie, goes quite as far as many of
that class when forced to choose be-
tween the big bourgeoisie and the pro-
letariat-and chooses the big capital
ist class. 1t was thus that the attack
on the Russian Communists, leader of
the proletariat, takes the side of big
capital by accusing these Communists
of having delayed capitalist economic
development in Russia eight years."
THE small bourgeois always guesses
l. that as long as the bourgeoisie as
whole is allowed to exist, that even
tho the big fellows get most of the
gravy, some few drops will be left for
the "cockroach business man." It is
all very well in fine weather, with the
working class well in hand" and
trained not to go outside the rules of
bourgeois democracy to attack "preda-
tory wealth" and big business" with
words. But let the proletariat lay vio-
lent hands on capitalist government,
tear down bourgeois parliament with
councils (soviets) of workers, soldiers
and peasants, and start out to master
the art of building, running and pro-
tecting society in which all bour-
geois, big and little, are to be as ex-
tinct as the dodo, and the petty bour-
geoisie rushes to the aid of his former
big enemy and scolds the former ally
for destroying civilization" CT set
ting back human progress"
The anarchist workers article in
the l. w. w. press says exactly the
same thing when it lectures the Rus
sian Communists because, so it says,
they have delayed capitalist economic
development in Russia eight years. "
IT'S a wonder the anarchist did not
reprove them for their disrespect of
law and order!" And this sort of
thing published by the /. w. W!

NORTH CAROLINA
DROPS PROBE OF
WOMEN WORKERS
Investigation Feared by
Bosses

NEW YORK-FP)-July 25.-
North Carolina isn't going to have a
state survey of women in its indus
tries after all! The welfare, commits
sion couldn't agree upon investigators
and now Governor A. w. Mclean has
withdrawn his order for the study
Bosses Fear Publlcity.
This is the survey approved by the
North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers
Association in their June convention.
The mill owners at the time adopted
resolution expressing their interest
sin any effort that promises service in
constructive values to the life OF the
people of our state;i" but added that
their association sis not interested in
efforts merely having for their objec-
tive agitation under any guise or
name" The convention endorsed the
offer of its executive committee ito
advise the governor, that this associa-
ton will be glad to cooperate with
him and state authorities in making a
survey of the employed women and
children in North Carolina, and fur
Their to express to the governor our
appreciation Of his interest in the
matter"
University Plans. Probe.
North Carolina mill owners earlier
refused the request of the University
of North Carolina Institute of Re-
search and Social Science to cooper
ate in their investigation of women in
the mills. The Manufacturers Asso-
citation claims that this request sis
still under consideration, and will
probably be given final consideration
at the next meeting" One of its
members charged the university
group with wanting to 'meddle" and
"agitate" for labor organization. He
threatened to interfere with state ap-
preparations to the institution. The
college investigation is supposed to be
going on in modified fashion.
More Federal Investigation.
Whether the state federation of wo-
mems clubs will ask the women's bu-
reau of the United States labor de-
partment to make the survey remains
to be seen. This body previously
asked that a federal agency do the
job but were finally switched to ap-
prevail of a state investigation. The
big mill owners objected strenuously
to the proposed federal investigation.

perience in the labor movement. Most
are members of unions and not few
hold important posts in their unions.
They have come to the Workers'
School in New York for an intensive
course of training that will help them
be more intelligent and effective work
ers in the movement and their unions.
Japanese Good Scholars.
There are several Japanese stu
dents. One is a gardener who saved
his money to come ever since he heard
of the school from another Japanese
worker who attended winter classes.
He would not accept one of the schol-
arships offered students from the fur
thest points, tho he had to come from
California. Some of the students have
been sent by their unions or local Do
litical groups, which paid their SIS
fee. Many have been arrested in
strikes. The upholsterer has been re-
called because his union is calling a
strike. One boy served in the Rus
sian Red Army and one in the Hunga-
rian Red Army. Another was in the
Hungarian White Army.

by the Workers Party. 1t is develop

who have little time for digging out

between the miserable capitalist sys-

there is a transition period, because It
presents a set of problems for which
they have no solution. Let us illus.
trate:
First, let us imagine that the Ameri-

be destroyed by it. How would 1t pro-
coed?
The I. w. w. would have to declare
martial law, which is an unusual thing
for a union to do, raise an army to
put down counter-revolution, seize or
censor the capitalist press to stop ito
mediation, jail its former socialist or
liberal friends who insist on free
speech and regular elections, set up
machinery for winning the doubtful
masses Of workers and farmers, for
dealing with spies and sabotage and
foreign relations-create, in short,
whole set of institutions in addition to
those needed to produce and distribute
useful things.
rs there anyone who denies that this
l. would be a government? 1t would
have to win the support of the major
ity of the workers, by plainly advanc-
ing the interests of the workers, to
forcefully suppress the capitalist con-
spiracies arising on every hand. That
would be the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat. The l. w. w. would have to
establish such system or they and
their problems would be solved, to-
gether with few well-placed bullets
of the bourgeoisie, which has no uto-
plan hobbies on its will to power.
Do the industrial unionist revolu-
tionaries in the !. w. w. believe in
the dictatorship of the proletariat, or
do they believe that by climbing on an
anarchistic wishing carpet" the work
ers can fly thru the clouds to the
promised land and pass up reality, the
transition period and it's problems?
We think they are mostly realists and
opposed to anarchist fancies. We also
think that they would do well to say
so loudly enough to make an impress
sion on the policies of the organiza-
ton, and not allow workers to be de-
luded with the notion that their class
can evade long and bitter struggle on
the road from capitalism to Commu-
nism.
