TIME present events in the senate
l. and house in regards to the Mica
raguan invasion and the enforcement
by Mexico of the oil and land laws
clearly demonstrates the existence Of
a broad, vague, anti-war, anti-militar-
list, pacifist sentiment among the
small bourgeoisie. This is caused
primarily by the steady shifting of the
burden of taxation and national debt
from the shoulders of the big bour-
geoisie on to the shoulders of the pet
ty bourgeoisie and the working class.
We must understand this develop
ment and realize how far this petty
bourgeoisie opposition will go if we
are not to ride along on the tail of
the Borahs, the Wheelers and the
Huddlestons and ourselves become
partners in creating pacifist illusions
in the minds of the workers.
First of all it is perfectly correct to
utilize this rift in the ranks of the
bourgeoisie, to goad the small bour-
geoisie on to more determined &C
ton against the big bourgeoisie,
but the workers must realize from
the start that this opposition will
not go very far These gentry
in the senate and house will do moth
ing to organize the masses for strug-
gle around the slogans Of: Demand
that the United States get out Of Nj
caragua! No Intervention in Mexico!
Hands off Chinai They are twice as
scared of the oppressed masses as
they are of the big bourgeoisie that
is bringing pressure against them.
They will go as far as presenting
bills, passing resolutions and making
speeches-but no further.
The Young Workers (Communist)
League has had some experiences
with these petty bourgeois paciists.
We entered into united fronts with
the petty bourgeois youth for an
honest struggle against capitalist mill
tarism. These united fronts did not

PETTY BOURGEOIS PACIFISM

even go as far as we had hoped. On
one question the petty bourgeois pa
cifist youth was quite militant and ag-
gressive and that was on how most
quickly and effectively to break up
these united fronts, to Illustrate every
effort made by the more radical ele-
ments in it to take a single step
against capitalist militarism.
Thru a few examples we will try
to show how petty bourgeois paci-
fism only creates illusions in the
minds of the workers and perverts
the real struggle against capitalist
militarism and the danger Of new i'm
perialist wars.
For instance there is the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation, a petty bour-
geois religious pacifist organization.
The main aim of this body is to make
its members meek, humble, submits
sive in the present day society of
class struggles. It's anti-militarist
program consists in its totality of the
following nonsense:
Love alone can break the VICIOUS
circle of cause and effect that keeps
war, exploitation and race discrim-
ination with US -"
With program of non-activity,
turning the other cheek and impo-
tence, the Fellowship poses as the
true" anti-militarist organization. In
one place in it's statement OF prin-
ciples the Fellowship declares:
"The members of the Fellowship
desire to express their convictions
In spirit of humility, honor, and
love and to guard against the dan
ger of controversial methods :. :"
There can be nothing clearer than
this as an outright pro-boss policy.
Humility" of the young workers to
their exploiters. Honor" to the boss
es' government Love" for the Wall
Street bankers that are rushing us in
to another imperialist war. No con
troversial methods" against our ex-
ploiters. That is>what the Fellowship's
pacifism consists of.

Especial to The Daily Worker)
FREELAND, Pa, Jan, 10. A
sample of how the Lewis machine in
the United Mine Workers. Union jer-
rymandered the recent elections for
International officers is seen in the
manner in which the vote of Local

cast.
This local has $50 paid up mem

election a meeting was called by the
officials of the local who support
Lewis. Only q members showed up.
The chairman recommended that the
secretary of the union be instructed
to cast all the ballots Of the local
members in the international and dis
trict elections.
$50 Votes by 81 Men.
All of those present being support
ers of the machine, the motion, of
course, was carried. This meant that
John L. Lewis and his slate was CIV
en- $50 votes from Local 1,521 with a
little better than one-sixth of the
members knowing anything about it.

$1OD,OOO,0(O RULING
IN DAMAGE SUIT
Telegraphone Company Trus-
tees Held Liable in Action
by Stakeholder.

approximately 100000, 900 in dam
ages is involved in the decree handed
down today in the Supreme Court Of
the District Of Columbia against
Charles D. Rood and Charles S. Bal
lard, trustees of the American Teleg.
raphone Co., in a suit brought March
20, 1920, by Hugh P. O'Reilly, as a
stockholder Of the company. The
record in the case is a voluminous one
and the action of the court trial took
Sc court days. 1t was before the
auditor for three years and nine
months and his report alone was con-
tanned in five volumes of testimony,
aside from dispositions and a large
number of exhibits.
The decision was handed down by
Justice Frederick l.. Siddons, who.
after holding Rood and Ballard liable
in damages, said the amount is not
certain. but perhaps close to $780,
100000. Counsel for the defendants,
Rood, Ballard, Washburn and the
company state that the amount, as
near as they can estimate. is
$1S6, ,0O0, 900.
At the conclusion of his decision,
which required 40 pages, Justice
Siddons said:
THE decree should be prepared and
presented for settlement and. signing,
which in substance, shall, among
other things, provide for the removal
Of the present board Of trustees and
present officers of the company.
1T should contain provision for
the holding Of the meeting by the
stockholders after all transfers Of the

been made have been completed and
