'Enlistmen now open for China"
A Washington dispatch shows that
this is not mere local enthusiasm OF

Vivid Contrast of What
Old Age Has in Store for
Workers and Parasites
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

BlackwelPs Island). There many
of the prisoners sentenced by Ros-
alsky have now been taken. There
they suffer for their cause, the
cause Of the working class.
If Goldstein dies, the murder
viii not only be on the head Of the
capitalist Judge, but also on the
head Of the capitalist social system
that gives this human tyrant the
power and the right to sit in judg-
ment over workers striving to lit
their meager standard OF living.
1t is only because such as Gold
stein are plunged into the agony
of deepest despair, that it is pos
sible Tor great capitalists like
Matthias, the friend OF Judge Il.
Il. Gary, head OF the steel trust,
who fought for the 12-hour-day for
workers, to earn great profits, en-
Iiching themselves and their class.
The sufferings of the Goldsteins in
all industries speed the ships on
which the Matthias parasites sail
for sunny climes to enjoy them
selves gorging on luxuries made
possible by wealth stolen from la
Dor.
As Matthias starts his tour of the
world, as Goldstein wends his way
toward prison, the creation of
greater and even greater profits
goes steadily forward. The steel
trust that favors Matthias develops
its southern mills, where labor is
even cheaper and more oppressed
than in the North, especially the
steel trust mills Of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company,
located at Birmingham, Alabama.
Similarly the cotton spindles Of
New England move into the south
ern states SO that it is possible for
Elmore N. Higgins, vice-president
of the Bank Of America, to say
that:
For the first time in the history
of this country the number of cot
ton spindles in the southern states
has at last exceeded that in New
England. Moreover, the southern
mill owner is producing twice as
much as the New England mill
owner per unit of machinery"
1nat means that the wage slaves
of the South are being driven twice
as hard as those of the North.
The capitalist plunderers are not
satisfied with crushing the life out
of a Goldstein with a union to give
him some protection.
They must move their industries
mtg the Southern states where la
Dor is unorganized and helpless.
An the greater need, therefore, for
labor in the North to develop its
struggle, overcome all obstacles
and develop a trade union move
ment that will spread into every
corner of the land.
1t is in this fight that the mem
bers of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union are now
going to Jail and prison. Thru their
sacrifice it will be increasingly pos
sible for the cause to conquer.

THE whole race creeps constant
Il ly toward old age. For the multi
millions of workers, old age is
time to be dreaded, too often a pc
Rod of penury and want. For the
parasites it is a period Of ease thru
declining years.
The contrast is revealed in start
ling manner in the stories Of Jo-
seph Goldstein, the 57-year-old
garment worker of New York, and
David r. Matthias, "less than 60
years." retiring superintendent Of
the Joliet illinois works Of the
Illinois Steel Company, a subsi-
diary of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Goldstein is out on bail awaiting
sen,eAoe AT the hands of the vicious
Judge Otto Rasolsky. He may go
to prison.
Matthias, according to the New
York Times, is planning ITO spend
the rest of his life in travel"
That is the varying lot Of the
victim and the beneficiary of the
present capitalist social system.
Goldstein is member of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work.
ers' Union. He fought with his
class. He came out on strike. He
was among the pickets, in the van
guard of the struggle to win the
strike. He was arrested. He was
thrown into "The Tombs" with
many of the occupational ills that
attack workers in the different in
dustries, that the infamous Rosal-
sky denounced as thugs" and
"gangsters," trying to put them in
the same class with the Hessian
army employed by the bosses to
help break this and every other
strike.
Goldstein was in continuous
agony in 1.-THE Tombs," without
medical attention, and suffering all
the resulting physical and mental
fortunes.
1t was probably inevitable that
Goldstein, under these conditions,
should give way. When he was re-
leased on bail and returned home
to await sentence at the hands of
the notorious lackey of the bosses,
ROsalslkV. he surrendered to the
terror of the employers prisons.
Rather than return, he tried sui
eide, and at this writing hovers
near death.
Suicide is not the road Of escape
for militants in the class struggle.
The working class soldier of the
class war remains in the fight I'M
til the last breath is gone.
In every land the working class
is giving Of its best fighters, to
dtath and to prison, in order that
the cause may make progress.
The agony Of Goldstein, driven
TO an attempt to take his own life,
makes glaring the fact that the
American despotism apes closely
the tyranny of the czardom that is
gone. There is a new Siberia in
