The Labor Defender for july

OF the most hopeful signs on, the labor
horizon in these days Of general
apathy and inaction.
Other outstanding features in the
July issue of the Labor Defender are
articles by Robert Minor on the
Mooney and Billings frameup and by
Ralph Chaplin, the /. w. w. poet, on
the Centralia case. There is also a
short, snappy story by Anton ]. Jo-
hansen of the carpenters union on
the conviction of Matthew Schmidt
and Dave Captain, who were sentenced
to life and ten years respectively in
California. q
But my favorite section is Voices
from Prison" Here you read the let
ters of the men who are behind the
prison bars, and l take it that no
worker, regardless of political affilia-
ton, can fail to be moved to the
depths on reading the thoughts Of
Sacco, Vanzetti, McNamara, Billings,
Schmidt, Danny Fallop, Peter Dirks
and the many other class war pris-
oners who suffer their purgatory with
out murmur behind the walls of the
capitalist dungeons.
On the whole, The Labor Defender
is a worthy organ Of the International
Labor Defense. Edited by the promis-
ing young proletarian journalist, Max
Shachtman, the magazine is attractive
and at the same time a valuable record
of the class struggle in America, in
the past as well as the present. To

the past week.
No Holiday on Fourth.
We did not declare Fourth of July
(that is, Monday a holiday, but con-
tinued our work and studies. One
hundred and fifty years ago that day
promised to the people of this coun-
try freedom, equality and justice. AS
far as the working class is concerned,
the fruits of the American Revolution
today are everything else but that
the worker today is faced with politi-
cal oppression and economic slavery.
The exploiting class reaped the ben
efits of that revolution. But there is
another revolution on the way, and in
that the working class will come into
its own.
"Our Boys" Lose Ball Game.
On the Fourth some of the students
attended the workers picnic at Su-
perior; a few living nearby spent the
day at home.
- AS you know, the Fourth came on
Sunday, and on that day we have no
classes. The greater part of the stu
dents attended the second baseball
game between our own team and a
team of local youths. The rain ended
the game in the seventh inning and
our boys lost, 10 to 8. The week be-
fore our team won. The game was
very interesting and a good spirit
was shown by both teams, as well as
the onlookers. After the game we
had "weiner roast" near our swim
ming place, instead of the regular
supper, but sudden shower forced
us finally to go into one of the larger
camps that have been provided for
the boys and we finished our meal
there. Several of us got wet, but
everyone agreed it was fun, and no
serious after effects for anybody.

"PubIic Sympathy" and the Traction Strike

THE NEW YORK TIMES, foremost
4 Wall Street newspaper, has been
the most diligent propaganda against
the strike of the traction slaves Of
the Interboro system. From the first
it proclaimed the strike iniudfcious,
uncalled for and an affront to the
public.
After the failure of Hedley, Quack-
enbusch and Connolly to break the
strike by threatening the men that
unless they returned last Monday
noon they would lose their precious
seniority" to work for long hours at
less than S. per day and in some
cases below SO, The Times, in one of
its customarily Shiny editorials, as
serts that the strikers instantly lost
public sympathy"
This remark bears analysis. Just
who are the public? Certainly any in
telligent estimate of the public ought
to take into consideration the 10000
furriers who have just come thru a
long strike and who, from the first,
nave pledged support, both moral and
financial, to the strike. Likewise it is
rather ridiculous to exclude the 10000
striking. cloak makers who have also
expressed sympathy with and pledged
full support of the strike. Consider
ing the fact that some of the most
essential elements of the public have
given organized expression Of sympa-
thy with the strike and hundreds of
thousands of workers are thoroly in
accord with the strikers revolt against
the company and its fake union it
seems that a substantial part of the
public are with the strikers.

BY WILLIAM r. DUNE.

TNHE Chicago Tribune for June IA, in
4 an editorial entitled, Soviet In
trigue in China" gives expression to
the present policy of American impe-
rialism in that portion of the globe.
Giving first some melodramatic Incl
dents occurring in the struggle going
on in China between Soviet Russia
supporting the national liberation
movement, the Chinese liberation
movement itself, and the imperialist
powers, the Tribune claims that there
has been a decreases sin Soviet influ-
ence in China in the last six months.
1t is particularly pleased with what
It calls "a considerable gain in public
opinion and some practical organiza.
ton for defense from Soviet propar
ganda" in central and northern China.
THIS practical Organization" con-
sists of the armies of WI Pei-fu
and Chang Tso-lin, the first protege
of both Great Britain and American
Imperialism as one or the other has
the inside track at various times, the
other an acknowledged agent of Japan.
The wholesale extortions and butch
cries practiced by these two militar-
lists are what the Tribune is praising.
But more interesting and significant
than this praise of two Chinese trait
ors is the view Of what to do and what
section of the national liberation
movement to support, expressed by
the Tribune. 1t should be remembered
in this connection that Charles Strawn,
American representative on the Chi
nese international commission, is
Chicago man. We quote:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-18

The final result will depend good
deal upon the tact and reasonable
ness Of the foreign diplomacy and
the good sense of the foreign colo.
nles in China. Respect for the Chi
nese amour propre and a sincere
sympathy, practically expressed as
far as possible, for the LEGITI-
MATE aspirations Of the Chinese for
independence and progress will help
materially to support THE BEST

SHIP. (Our emphasis.)
IT LEGITIMATE aspirations" are
IL those which do not interfere with
the ability of imperialists to exploit
the Chinese masses.
1.-THE best element of Chinese leader
ship" is that which will, in return for
small share in the proceeds of the
robbery, aid the imperialist program
in China.
These are the accepted definitions of
these phrases in the imperialist die
tionaries.
Soviet Russia sympathizes with and
aids the Chinese national liberation
movement as much as it can. It can
not do otherwise, because it is work
ers' and peasants government carry
ing out the policy of the Communist
Party of Russia-the party that is in
power. If it followed the same policy
as the imperialist mowers do-that of
seeking to divide and weaken China
and make it easier prey for the flock
of international vultures-it would be
fought by the Chinese Communist
Party and the Kuomintang represent
ing the class and national interests of

7 the Chinese workers and peasants.
BECAUSE the workers and peasants
- government Of Russia looks with
sympathy upon the efforts of the
400,000,00O Chinese toilers to free
themselves from both native and for
eign robbers-the phase of the Chi
nese liberation movement which gives
1t its great power Of resistance and
militancy-the imperialists are hard
pressed to counterfeit its wide popu-
Iarity in China.
So they speak Of "the Asiatic pas
sion for intrigue" and say that "the
Russian is really an Oriental" etc,
while trying by all methods to make
peace with the trading, manufacturing
and landlord elements.
DUT the Tribune is not optimistic.
- 1t says that "the south seems still
to be hotbed of radicalism, and in
the industrial district of Shanghai
Communism finds good SOIL"
Moreover, it cites the fact of the
recent defeat Of WI Pei-fu's troops by
Cantonese forces and the repulse of
Chang Tso-lin's army by the peoples
army north and west of Pekin
The official American desire for the
welfare of the Chinese people and
their aspirations for independence
amounts then to this-complete hos
tility to every section of the Chinese
people except the upper class, "the
best element" which the imperialists
believe can be used in aiding its
schemes of conquest.
We should keep this in mind when
we hear and read official expressions
of friendship for China.
