BALDWIN ATTACKS
DEMOCRACY
BY LELAND OLDS,
Federated Press.)

Prime minister Baldwin's recanta-
ton of the government proposal to
write the capitalist ohgarchy which
rules England into the constitution
should not blind the workers to the
powerful world movement against de-
mocracy. The financial upper class
is prepared to discard socalled po-
pular government whenever labor be-
comes sufficiently class conscious to
use the vote to control the modern
economic state.
Reform"
The startling proposals for reform
of the house of lords offered by the
British lord chancellor in the name of
the government were a maneuver.
Later, with the appearance of conces-
sions, the tory government will I'M
doubtedly carry through most of its
proposals, which also represent in the
main the ideas of the liberal party.
Both old parties stand for the pre-
eminence of private property and
wish constitution which will block
Socialist measures whenever the La
Dor party secures a clear mandate to
reorganize the country in the interest
of the workers.
To Hold Power.
The real aim of the government,
says the Manchester Guardian, us
to restore to the house of lords the
right to keep the conservative party
in power even when it is not in Of
flee" This purpose is avowed by the
lords who spoke on the proposals.
"The people of this country, said
the duke of Northumberland, an out
standing owner of the country's coal
deposits, mo longer believe in democ-
racy as a principle at all"
Lord Sumner pointed out that the
parliament act, which curtailed the
power of the house of lords, was all
very we'll between conservatives and
liberals but that a socialist govern
ment would have a long list of
drastic and far reaching measures.
Your People A Beast.
"The real enemy, said Lord Monks
well, sis democracy"
Viewed as a whole in the light Of
this latest proposals, the program Of
the tory government of England has
striking resemblance to the aboli-
ton of democracy by quite other
means in fascist Italy. Like the
Italian program it includes the des-
truction of the economic power of
trade unionism, the invasion of local
government by the centralized power
of the state and the establishment of
conservative government indepen-
dent of popular suffrage.
George Young in Lansbury's Labor
Weekly describes it as an attempt to
impose dictatorship of the profit
eeriat."

CLARIFYING POLITICAL ISSUES IN THE MINNESOTA

election because of the filling of A.
N. Sollie of the City and County
Employees Union, and at the time of
filing, a member of the 18th Ward
Club of the Farmer-Labor Associa-
ton which had endorsed Pryts for,
re-election-the right wingers call
this mistake" on Sollie's part. 1T
is in fact nothing short of betrayal
Victory On School Board.
Lynn Thompson and Mrs. Kinney
were elected to the School Board-a
real victory for the Farmer-Labor-
ties. Only three Labor Aldermen
are left in the Council-Bastis and
Peterson from the 9th Ward and Gis-
lin from the 9th Ward-Peterson is a
follower from 1925.
That the slate was not wiped clean
is eloquent testimony to the deep
rooted struggle of the idea of indie
pendent working class political ac-
ton, and proves again that the Far
mer-Labor Party cannot be destroyed.
Every force of reaction was brought
into play, tens of thousands of dol
lars were expended by the old Party
machine, their agents in the Labor
movement did what they could, the
aldermanic candidates themselves as
previously noted contributed objec-
lively to the campaign of the enc
mics of the Farmer-Labor Associa-
ton. And in spite of all this, two
school board members and three la
Dor aldermen are winners.
Shipstead Remained Silent.
One of the outstanding features of
the campaign was the failure of SEN
ator Shipstead to make a single
speech in support of the Farmer
Labor Party's candidates or even to
issue a statement in their behalf, al
though called upon several times to
do SO.
Practically all of the other Far
mer-Labor officials and office hold
ers, the real figures of the city and
state movement, did active and con-
sistent work for the Party. Note
worthy among these were Floyd Oh
son, County Attorney; State Rep. o.
y. Nellermoe; Ex-senator S. A.
Stockwell and Ex-Congressman Ern-
est Lundeen, etc The net results of
the campaign will be quickening of
the tempo of the whole movement.
The workers are now really conscious
OF the danger of split campaigns and
the backing of capitalist candidates.
Plans have been perfected and organ
lzation work is already going for
ward in preparation for the 1880
campaigns.

Lewis Fighting to Hold
Control of District |

tCOntTtue0 from rage One
some of the administration delegates
are opposed to it and will fight it.
But there is danger that the anti
administration forces will not be able
to mobilize sufficient strength to de-
feat these two proposals and there
might be compromise by the nom
inee having to have 10 or Is local
unions for endorsement, which will
make it very hard for an opposition
list to get-as it will take a month or
so to visit that many local unions.
1t is hoped that during this con-
vention, especially on this question,
there will develop a strong opposition
which will lead fight against the
district administration.
Check-Off Will be Debated.
The question of the check-off is also
coming up and a demand for settle
ment of this question will be made by
many local unions. The district ma
chine claims that the agreement which
has the following words in it, ere
ciprocal cooperation and efficiency
means the granting of the check-off
to the miners.
John l.. Lewis, international presi-
dent has declared on and off that it
was his Interpretation, but the agree
ment has been in existence for more
than 16 months, and no Interpretation
of the clause has been agreed on by
the anthracite Cancellation board.
There will be several resolutions on
the question in demand by the local
unions that it be settled once and for
all. The machine will have a very
hard time explaining why it is not
settled.
The question of the miners of the
Hudson Coal Co., of the L.uzerne area
is also going to come up, because for
the last a months they have only
worked for short periods at various
times. The Luzerne collieries were
closed before the 9TH of July and have
not yet resumed operations.
Threats of Strike.
The Hudson employees have held
numerous conferences with district
officials, demanding that the work
shall be equalized by the Hudson Coal
Co, so that not only its Lackawanna
County Collierys shall run, but the
work shall be distributed equally be-
tween the Lackawanna and Luzerne
county collieries.
There have been threats of strikes
but the district officials have been
able to prevent them by holding con-
ferences with the Hudson Coal Co.
officials which have come to nothing.
Must Fight Machine.
The main object of the opposition
forces during the convention of Dis
trict l will be to organize and es-
tablish a leadership to fight against
the present reactionary machine on
the basis of union issues.
The miners union of District / is
in danger as it seems the coal opera
tors are pursuing the identical policy
as the coal operators of the bitumin-
Gus field pursued during the life of
the Jacksonville agreement.
About 400 delegates represent the
miners at the convention. District
has a membership Of 10000 miners
and is the biggest district in the an
thracite.

Hoover Visits CAL,
Asks Extra Session
to Plan Flood Loan

CUSTER, S. D., July 20.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover arrived here
today for a conference with President
Coolidge upon the ACCESSIBILITY of call
ing an extra session of congress
around Nov. /.
Mr. Coolidge came over to the train
to greet him-an unprecedented
event-but it served to prevent news
papermen from talking with Hoover
until after he had seen the president.
While Hoover would make no COM
ment, prior to his conference with Mr..
Coolidge, it was indicated he favors
calling an extra session in advance of
the regular December session. Hoover
believes funds now available for re-
lief work will be exhausted by Novem-
Der or at the latest by December /.
Coolidge Opposes Session.
Hoover has arranged complete
machinery for lending money to the
farmers caught by the Mississippi
flood, at a profit to the participants
in his "credit corporations, but needs
cheap government finances to carry it
thru. Coolidge, it is understood, fears
an extra session because of the dan
ger that stampede for giving instead
of lending relief funds to the flood
sufferers may develop, and because
unpleasant facts about the peonage of
Negro farm hands, and the graft in
levee construction may come out.

Fascist Police Fire on
Angry Italian Peasants
Shouting View antWo

LUCIANO, (By MaiD-July s.
Another anti-Fascist revolt, t h e
causes of which are concerned with
the serious economic crisis now
ravaging the Italian countryside, is
reported from Trezzo sull'Adda, a
village 70 kilometres from Milan.
A crowd of unemployed agricul-
tural laborers gathered outside the
Town Hall, shouting, eve want
work" The demonstration soon be-
came very hostile, and when the po-
lice appeared on the scene the angry
peasants bombarded them wi h
stones.
At first the police defended them
selves with the butts of their rifles,
but presently they lost their heads
and fired several volleys on the
crowd. The list of casualties includes
ten peasants, who are in dying con-
dition at hospital, and a number of
wounded among the police and the
Fascist.
Later in the night police reinforce
ments were rushed from Monza and
Bergamo to the scene of the conflict,
and over hundred villagers homes
were raided and the occupants ar
rested.
Mayor Attacked.
The wounding of deputy Fascist
Mayor, named Mario Baroffio, is re-
ported from Vedano Olona, a village
near Varese. Baroffio, who was as
sailed in the street, is now lying in
hospital with two bullet wounds in
the breast.
The old rivalry between Industrial
lists and agrarians in Italy, which the
economic crisis has brought again to
the fore, threatens to become one of
the most powerful factors Of disinte-
grafton in the present crisis. Fas-
cism was the result of a compromise
between the agrarians and the in
dustrialists, and all the efforts of

MOSCOW, July 2O.-The rapid
strides made in the development of
the radio in the Soviet Union is in
dictated by the report that there are
now $4,000 radio receiving sets IL

Loud speakers are maintained by
the city in more than twenty parks

past four years, tended to prevent
these two contrasting forces an. in
terests, upon which he had based his
dictatorship, from breaking their al
lance.
But the economic crisis has now
shown itself to be more powerful
than the anti-Socialist feeling which
had reconciled the agrarians to the
industrialists. Signor Mussolini must
now solve the difficult problem:
which of his two supporters is to be
sacrificed? He is no longer in a po-
sition to satisfy both.

GITLOW TELLS OF
TWO OUTLOOKS or
LABOR IN EUROPE
Buoyancy in Russia but
Discomfort Elsewhere

DADNOiIOOAlO A41cC w 11N1 =
"The desire Of the workers and
peasants of the Soviet Union is for
peace" declared Ben Gitlow, member
of the Central Executive Committee
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
who has just returned to this country
from a trip to Europe, which in
Guided the First Workers Republic.
But" added Gitlow, "the workers
and peasants of the Soviet Union, at
the same time, not only have the de-
sire to defend, but they also have the
ability to defend their country"
Gitlow pointed out the tremendous
and very noticeable difference in the
spirit between the workers in the
Soviet Union and the rest of Europe.
Hope Versus Depression.
"There is an inspiring buoyancy and
hope permeating the masses of Rus
STA" said Gitlow, Compared to the
depression and deep-going discomfort
Of labor in the capitalist countries.
The contrast was especially noticeable
along the Soviet border, especially
where such countries as Poland, Lith-
uania and Latvia lie close to the terri
tory of the Workers Republic"
POLAND is camp of armed SOL
diers," continued Gitlow. "These SOL
diers are not only intended for use
in the developing war against the
Soviet Union, but also against the
Polish workers, who struggle against
their misery"
Capitalism Sits on Volcano.
In discussing the recent develop
ments in Austria, Gitlow declared
that this revealed the merely relative
sterilization of capitalism. He pointed
out that the Vienna uprising revealed
another wide crack in the thin crust
supporting predatory rule in western
Europe
"The events at Vienna" he said,
"show that European capitalism is
actually resting on a slumbering vol
cano. This Vesuvius may appear
quiet for the time being. But appear
ances are only deceiving.
"The struggle of the Vienna work
ers shows that there is a basis for
armed actions of the workers and for
revolutionary instructions in Eur
ope. In this situation the socialist
leaders appear as specialists for the
bourgeoisie in their efforts to keep
! ne lid of oppression on the volcano
Of unrest"
Gitlow also reviewed the persecu-
ton to which the French Communist
Party is being subjected at the pres
ent time, with indictments pending
against all the members of the party's
political committee. Pierre Semard.
secretary Of the party, Jacque Doriot,
and Marcel Cachin, Communist mem
bers of the chamber of deputies, are
now in prison.
THE French party is being perse-
cuted at this time" declared Gitlow.
mainly because of its attack against
French militarism. The French party
in carrying on its i-militaristic
work, has one of the best records of
all the parties in the Comintern."
Gitlow made study of the trade
union movements in the countries he
visited.
Jay Lovestone, acting secretary of
the Workers (Communist) Party, has
also returned to this country after a
trip to Europe, including the Soviet
Union. While in Europe he gathered
considerable material concerning the
Economic Conference of the League
of Nations, and the Tri-Partite Naval
Conference, both held at Geneva,
Switzerland.

were unblinking-

"Is he --dead?"

question.

Despite this Teddy succeeded tnal-
