GENERAL members of the Bomb
y Squad had a mild surprise coming
to them last Monday, when divers,
persons belonging to that large but
respectable fraternity known as the
workingclass pounced on the said pill
lars Of the law and dislocated the
creases in their trousers. There was
weeping and crashing of molars.
The members of the Bomb Squad are
not accustomed to this kind of treat
ment. 1t reminds us somewhat of
Chicago.
ONE exciting night a labor faker
Vhanded out local union member
ship cards to half a dozen members
Of the detective bureau Of that city.
A new set Of officials were to be
elected that night. The detectives
showed up alright, but so did the
membership. And there was lot
Of fun for all those who remained
neutral, watching the dust getting
chased around the hall thru the i'm
pact Of the bodies of the detectives
on the furniture. The detectives
came around to maintain law and or
der. They got lots of order but very
little law.
THE members of the police force
have no more right to use violence
on citizens than have ordinary thugs.
But right means nothing to those
wo are charged with the task of de-
Tending the interests of the capital
lists. We have no record Of the po-
lice attacking the bosses. In the
present strike conducted by the Joint
Board of the Furriers' Union against
the employers that violated their
agreement with the union and against
the scabbery of the bureaucrats of the
A. f. Of L. the police are clearly on
the side Of the bosses and the bureau
Gratis.
THAT white guardist officers under
the inspiration and very likely in
the pay Of the British government
had planned a wide campaign of as
sassination of Soviet officials is sug-
gested in articles appearing in the
Moscow press in comment on the
murder of the Soviet Minister at
Warsaw. Those scoundrels were
plotting to dynamite the Kremlin and
also a congress of workers and pea
SAINTS in session in large theatre.
THE imperialists feel that the re-
moval of Stain, Buhkarin, Rykoff
and other outstanding leaders would
rob the Soviet Government of some
Of its best minds and make the tasks
of overthrowing the government
easier. After the French revolution
and up until the time that England
succeeded in crushing Napoleon her
daggers were as busy as her cannon
against the French revolution and the
French military hegemony on the
continent. Lloyd George recently
pointed out in the house of commons
that Britain spent millions trying
to restore Czardom as she did trying
TO restore the Bourbons in France.
VET those hypocrites have the i'm
pudence to charge the Soviet gov
eminent with interfering in the
domestic affairs of Great Britain. 1t
Is a device almost universally used
by capitalist governments to blame a
revolutionary movement or a revo-
lutionary government for the dis
content that prevails in their own
countries. The real blame rests ON
the shoulders of the greedy ex-
loiters.
e British Royal Air Force is busy
Npping bombs on villages on the
West frontier Of India. Fifty
unfortunate victims of British
lism were slaughtered by the
heroes Of the air. American
bring the blessing of "Civili-
o Nicaragua and the Philip
they are now using young
d and his great feat to- propa-
drNhe masses in favor Of the
finiir navy in the world.
