WILL WHITING
OIL " 0RKERS
Get VACATIONS?
Company Union Makes
Request for 2 Weeks
BY q. BoRIsoFF.

Where does John Rockefeller spend
his summer months? o, to be sure,
in some cool and pleasant spot. He
can we'll afford it.
This summer the workers of the
Standard Oil Co. plant in Whiting,
Ind, conceived bright idea: Why
not have a vacation, too? To be sure,
they deserve it great deal more than
John d.
Someone started a petition to the
management for a two weeks yearly
vacation for those who work in the
plant. The petition was signed by the
workers of the plant and presented to
the management thru the committee
of representatives. John D. operates
company union in his plants)
This was done three weeks ago.
Nothing has been heard from the man
agement yet. Why should it take so
long to decide this question? Good
summer days are passing. John D.
and his ilk do not take much time de-
Gliding about their vacation. They
make their plans for summer far in
advance.
l wonder how many workers who
signed the petition actually expect
they will get two weeks vacation
OF course, if it is vacation without
any pay, and if those who remain in
the plant will have to turn out the
work of those who are on the vaca-
ton in addition to their own work for
the same pay, then the proposition
may be considered, but not otherwise.
Petitions will not produce any re-
suits, as the Standard Oil Co. men
will eventually find out. A company

WLo~o l. Del: H:2 By HARRISON GEORGE.
w HSIS 40 AWoStu OUttS. ARTICLE ILL.,

PREVIOUSLY we discussed one Of
4 the five issues raisedtby an anarchist
writer's article which appeared in the
l. w. w. press attacking the Soviet
government. Today weltreat the sec
ond issue, a weird argument for any
worker to voice, let alone to find in
the press of the 1. w. W. For, strange
as it may seem, the article insists that
not only have the Russian Commu-
nists betrayed" the workers revolu-
ton, but that they have at one and
the same time-betrayed the capitalist
class, also! H
What marvellous genius have the
Communists! For after a long recital
by the anarchist writer of how the
Russia workers have had their revolu-
ton betrayed" right under their
noses without them being aware Of it,
we read the following indignant pro
test on behalf of a capitalism also be-
trayed by these same Communists:
1.-THE Communist Party has delayed
capitalist economic development in
Russia eight years.
TT the Russian Communists have dis
l. played such remarkable dexterity
as to have betrayed both the working
class and the capitalist class at the
same time, it is no less a wonder to
witness the agility with which the an
archist writer in the l. w. w. press
switches around once again after con-
demning both, and from a bitter COM
plant that capitalism was for eight
years deprived of its rightful inheri-
lance, rushes to contrary one that
there is no further doubt Of that ma
TONS (Russia) reversion to the CAPT
talist system"
The fact OF the matter is that every
time an anarchist sits down with pa
per and ink ne makes fool of him
self. He can't help doing so. That
he manages to get his foolishness pub
lished as an official statement of the
I. w. w. is regretable, and the men,
bership of that organization has the
Same right as that of any organiza-
ton to demand, that officials do not
drive workers away from 1t by put
ting out nonsense in its name, par
ticularly when the anarchists use the
I. w. w. propaganda for propaganda
helpful to capitalism.
THIS is not the first time anarchists
l. have entangled themselves in con-
tradictions. We recall that when
Emma Goldman wrote attacks on the
Soviet power for cash on delivery,
how, in the days before the Inaugural
ton OF the new economic policy the
great complaint was that the "barba-
rous Bolsheviks' would not permit
peasants and small traders to market
their wares by private trading. But,
beholdl When the "Nep" granted
that permission an equally loud howl
was raised because, so ran the COM
plant, allowing private trading was a
betrayal OF the revolution! Hard to
please, aren't they.
Where do any workers get such
funny ideas? From the petty bour-
geoisie and from the handicraft sys.
tenn of production IN which petty
bourgeois ideas hourished even In the
minds of the workers. This class and
| ia ideas die slowly. It's ideas spread

Miners See Machines
Which Take Away
Their Livelihood
81 Arr SHIELDS, Federated Press.

BY ART SHIELDS, Federated Press
EBENSBERG, Pa, July 22.-Huge
new coal mining machines that are
revolutionizing the bituminous indus
try were visited by curious central
Pennsylvania coal miners at the in
dustrial exposition in Ebensburg. The
machines had been brot together by
Charles M. Schwab, head of the Cam
bria county fair association and one
Of the biggest non-union operators in
the country.
Great mechanical loading machines
were there with conveyors that scoop
up the loose coal at the face and
rush it to the mine car out in the
entry. They are eliminating much
hand shoveling, as the earlier coal
cutting machines eliminated most OF
the pick work.
Make Machines Of Miners.
Nothing but a Goddam machine
is what they make of the miner, to
quote the language that Carter Good,
rich attributed to a coal digger in
his book, The Miners Freedom.
Pointing to a model scraping ma.
chine the demonstrator asserted that
men get out the coal that useu
to take 20. He said hundreds of the
new scrapers and leaders had been
installed in West Virginia and Ken
lucky, rich southern non-union fields,
in the last two years. They bring
increased production, fewer workers
and more unemployment.
Naturalization Needed, Says 5rophy.
Central Pennsylvania miners have
long been familiar with the mechani.
cal cutters. Few mines in this dts.
trict have put in mechanical leaders
The mines here are old and not laid
out for the new machines, The coal
seams are thinner and roof condi
lions not favorable. But the machines
are constantly being improved.
Naturalization of the mines is
needed more than ever, said John
Brophy, president OF District No. 2
United Mine Workers, commenting on
the exhibit.

among workers take time to erase, but
We see that thruout the world the
hold of anarchism upon the minds of
the workers recedes with the advance
of the machine process, the giant fac
tory system and capitalist monopoly.
A NARCHISM is a philosophy of in
"A dividualism, and individualism
cannot live and prosper in an environ
ment of workers who in great masses
are poured into factory gates to act
as appendages, each in his little niche,
to the gigantic machine. The element
of anarchism in the l. w. w. is a relic
of the past just as much as the craft
union idea of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. There is much in COM
mon between the two, which is the
reason that anarchist workers, in the
I. w. w. and out of it, care little or
nothing about industrial unionism,
which implies large masses of work
ers organized by industry well unified
| by centralized structure. Sam Com
pers was once the most blatant of an
archists.
But the petty bourgeoisie, and the
anarchists which express the ideas of
that class, even tho they are work
ers, while they complain bitterly
against the injustice" of private own
ership of the machinery of social pro-
duction, are equally opposed to the
social ownership of that machinery.
| Everyone of the humanitarian cries of
oppression" "soulless monopoly"
etc, with which the petty bourgeoisie
tries to attract to their support the
! workers who, truly enough, suffer
greatly from the private ownership of
the machinery of social production, is
not at all intended to lead these work
ers on to a social ownership of this
social machinery, but to revert to an
epoch that is past, the epoch of small
manufacture, to the glorious days" of
the small trader, free competition and
individualism.
NTHY did the anarchists of the Gold
w man type complain at the Bolshe-
viks before the Inauguration of the
"Nep"? Because the petty bourgeois
right" of free trade was denied under
the rigid policy of "war communism"
Why did they complain still more bit
terly when "Nep" came? Because the
"barbarious Bolsheviks," tho they per-
mitted private trade, retained every
large and basic industry as social
property, aiding the expansion and
Capitalization OF this socialized indus
try, aided the giant co-operatives and
far from returning to an economy
based on small manufacture so be-
loved by the petty bourgeolsie-ma
II impossible for small manufacture to
compete successfully with the great
socialized state industry.
This signed the doom OF the petty
bourgeoisie, and the anarchist rehec.
ton OF that class within the labor
movement broke into weeping and
wailing and crashing OF teeth. The
cockroach business man may feel
badly about IL, but why the revolu
tionary workers in the I. w. w. should
