ENoR the first time since the wage
4 cutting and understanding cam
paign of the railroad capitalists in
1922, railroad labor Is beginning to
move.
The intervening period of four
years from the defeat of the great
shipments strike up to the present
time, the unions have been in full re-
treat before the victorious companies,
and have suffered heavy wage cuts
and tremendous losses. in member
ship. Based on 1920 rates of pay,
the total loss, IN wages to the workers
during this period amounted to more
than $SO0,O00, 900. At the same time
over half million members we're lost
to the various organizations.

IMMEDIATELY following the strike

try at startling speed, until at pres
ent they exist on Ga of the country's
largest railways. numbering tens of
thousands of workers in their ranks
Scarcely in. the many struggles of the
American railroad unions have they
met such bitter attacks by the COM
panies and sustained a greater set
back than during the last four years.
This retreat at last has been halted
and a forward movement begun. The
unions are slowly rallying their forces
and preparing to recover the ground
lost since 1921. This movement is
now proceeding on three fronts; list,
to secure wage increases, and, to or
ganize the unorganized, and third, to
fight the company unions. These are
rapidly becoming the outstanding is
sues before railroad labor.
Wage Increases.
IMAGE increases are now a live top
" ic of discussion among a large
section of railroad workers. This has
brot about definite steps to secure a
substantial raise in wages by several
Of the unions, particularly the four
transportation brotherhoods and the
Switchmen's Union. The demands of
these organizations amount to prac.
tically a restoration of the 1920 wage
scale, the increases ranging from $1.OO
to S1.64 day. Several of the other
unions are preparing for similar ac-
ton. ~

Wiedersheim has quoted in his MANS
Structure as a Witness to His Past"
1t is clear that the Jesuit writer lacks
competence in this department.; that
he has only superficial and made
quate acquaintance with comparative
anatomy and embryology. If Was
mann had studied the morphology and
physiology of the mammals as thor
oughly as those of the ants, he would
have concluded, IL he were impartial,
that it is just as necessary to admit
a monophyletic Cor singleJ origin for
the former as for the latter. II, in
Wasmann's opinion, the 1000 species
Of ants form a single natural sys-
tem"-that is to say, descend from
one original species-it is just as
necessary to admit the same hypothe-
sis for the 5000 (2,400 living and
$500 FOSSIL species of mammals, in
Guiding the human species.

Socialist Party Fights Unity of
Action of Workers

The issue before the socialist locals
is whether they will participate in
such united action by the workers
against their capitalist exploiters or
give up the idea of the class struggle.
THE National Executive Committee
l. of the Socialist Party will fool
no one by its reference to the Com
munist leadership of such united front
movements. Where the Communists
have become the leaders of the united
front movement Of the workers, it has
been because they have won the con-
fidence and support of the workers
thru their services in the common
struggle. If they have Initiated united
front action thru which the workers
have been able to make a better fight
against the capitalist bosses, that is
to their credit. The fact that this is
SO, shows that the Communist pro-
gram today is q program thru which
the workers can achieve results and
relieve themselves from some of the
oppression and exploitation from
which they suffer and against which
they are struggling at the present
time.
What Does Debs Say?
THERE is another phase OF this
4 statement of the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist Party
which deserves attention. Eugene v.
Debs is the chairman of the National
Executive Committee. 1t is not likely
that he participated or approved of
the statement of the Socialist Party,
He is reported i'll at his home in Terre
J Haute.
But the workers of this country will
want to know the opinion of Eugene
Y. Debs of this statement of the Ma
Gional Executive Committee of which
he is the chairman.
THE workers have heard Debs make
L eloquent appeals for united action
against the capitalist exploiters. For
more than twenty-five years, he has
been an advocate of unity of the work
ing class in their struggle against the
capitalists.
Will Eugene V. Debs approve of the
instructions of his National Executive
Committee to refuse to join in united
action for the protection of the for
eign-born workers, for the fight
against discrimination against the
Negroes, for the fight to release politi-
cal prisoners and in support of the
strikes of the workers?
THE socialist locals which, in spite
of the reactionary policies Of the
National Executive Committee of their
party, have Joined in these workers
struggles will want to know where
Debs stands on these questions. The
workers generally who honor Debs
for his years of struggle in the work
ers' cause in spite of his continued
adherence to the Socialist Party, will
want to know his stand on the effort
of the National Executive Committee
of his party to divide the workers in
place of uniting them.
EUGENE v. DEBS should not per
IL NIT such a stain to be placed upon
his record as will be placed there if
he permits the action of the National
Executive Committee of the Socialist
Party, of which he is chairman, to go
unchallenged.
The self-respecting workers in the
locals of the Socialist Party, If they
are sincere in their desire to fight the
workers struggles, will repudiate this
action of the National Executive Com
mittee to divide the workers in place
of endeavoring to unite them for the
class struggle.

Win the communists in forming
Councils for the Protection of the
Foreign-Born Workers. 1t has been
thru the mass pressure Of these coun-
ellis that the enactment of these ex-
ception laws by congress has been
prevented. Now the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist Party
warns its locals to keep out of such
a struggle to protect the foreign-born
workers.
THE same has been true in relation
4 to the great struggle of the strik-
ing textile workers l6f> Passaic. Many
socialist locals could not be prevented
from Joining in the united front move
ment to support the Passaic workers
in their heroic strike! The socialist
locals have Joined with trade union
lists, Communists, workers fraternal
organizations in forming relief COM
mittees for the Passaie strikers. The
National Executive Committee of the
Socialist Party tells the socialist To-
calls to get out Of these relief com
mittees and let the Passaic workers
fight their own battles
OoCIALIST locals have been found
~ themselves in united front politi-
cal conferences formed for the pur-
pose of promoting Independent politi-
cal action and participated in by trade
union representatives, fraternal or
ganization representatives and Com
munists, in addition to the socialists
The National Executive Committee of
the Socialist Party is opposed to such
movement to break the workers
away from the republican and dem
ocratic parties and to organize them
for an independent political struggle
thru the formation of labor party
1t warns its locals to keep out Of such
organizations for united action on the
political field.
THE National Executive Committee
L of the Socialist Party is even
against the united front movement to
win complete political, educational,
industrial, and social equality for the
Negroes of this country The socialist
locals must not participate in united
action to fight against racial discrimi-
nation against the Negro.
viii The Socialist Locals Abandon
The Workers strussIes2
THE instructions Of the National
L Executive Committee of the So
cialist Party to its locals. places be-
fore those locals madesup of workers
who wish to participate in the work
ers' struggles in this country, the
i question; whether they snail abandon
the class struggle or, whether they
shall abandon the Socialist Party?
There could be no greater confess
sion of bankruptcy so far as fighting
for the workers interests in this coun-
try is concerned, than this seven point
statement constituting IAN important
request" by the National Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party.
THE National Executive Committee
4 of the Socialist Party endeavored
to confuse the view placed before the
socialist locals by reference to finan-
cial domination of these organizations
by the Communists. But no workers
will be deceived by this. The instruc-
tons to the socialist locals actually
mean that these locals must keep out
of every movement of the American
workers which represents a fight on
the basis of the class struggle, be-
cause every such struggle in this
country has been either initiated, or
is being led or supported by the Com
munists. 1897

Workers (communlst) Party.
THE National Executive Committee
L of the Socialist Party has sound
ed a note of alarm to the locals and
members of that organization and
made what the st. Louis labor terms
AN important request" to the units
of the party.
This important request" is nothing
less than a seven point warning to
the locals of the Socialist Party not
to permit themselves to become part
of united action of the workers in
their present day struggles.
THE locals Of the Socialist Party,
L according TO the request of the
National Executive Committe should
not enter the fight for the protection
of the foreign-born workers by par
ticipating in the organization of coun-
ellis for the protection of the foreign
born. They must not join in a united
fight against discrimination from
which the Negroes suffer. They must
remain away from the united move
ment for the release of political pris-
oners nor should they aid workers in
strike.
The Reason For This Warning
THE reason for this warming of the
L National Executive Committee Of
the Socialist Party is that the Com
munists are often the leaders and the
initiators of united front movements
to fight in the workers interests. For
the National Executive Committee Of
the Socialist Party, it is a crime for
the socialists to join with trade union
organizations, workers fraternaI Or
CARNATIONS and Communists in a
united front struggle to prevent the
foreign-born workers from being reg
istered, photographed and fingerprint-
ed or to fight against racial discrimi-
nation from which the Negro suffers
or to take action to help workers who
are fighting the bosses for higher
wages and better working conditions
thru a strike.
L significance than the mere fear
on the part of the National Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party that
the members or units of that organ
ization may really participate in the
struggles of the workers. Many local
organizations of the Socialist Party
have ignored the policy of the Ma
tional Executive Committee of keep
ing the workers from uniting to fight
their immediate battles against the
capitalist exploiters. There, are, in the
Socialist Party, many sincere workers
who still believe that the Socialist
Party is an organization fighting in
the workers interests. Branches of
the Socialist Party in which such
workers predominant have, in spite of
all the past warnings, and denuncia-
tions by the leaders of the Socialist
Party, joined in united front action in
| the interests of the workers even tho
those actions were initiated and led
| by Communists. These working class
members and units of the Socialist
Party dominated by such members do
not fear to be associated with Com
munists in common struggle to aid
striking workers or to protect foreign
born workers against exception laws
which would register, fingerprint and
photograph them like criminals.

representatives of the fraternal organ

 But Alaska will be out for a new record for 1926, according to railway and steam ship correspondence.

 Alaska's government railway is adding to the general publicity for tourists and contributing to the chances of large swarm of visitors. Mount Mckinley Park, near the Alaska Railroad, is attracting inquiries New facilities or roads and trails through the park are to encourage sightseers
 The summer excursion season is to be- gin on May II. Many special excursion par ties have already made reservations for sea- sonal trips.
