There is nothing in this world that
stirs the wrath and fire of the masses
as hatred does. That demon has been
deeply rooted into the heart of the
toilers. With every grunt at the
electric chair a roar will be heard on
the street, a roar which will grow,
expand, and highten, until it burst in
to the tempest that will sweep this
pestilent system to it's everlasting
doom. That storm is coming. The
day of emancipation is coming. l can
see it through the roar of the multi
tudes all over the world And if at

Flourishing cities,
Tremendous in their dimensions,
Yet, how small man has grown.
Look, how wonderfully Progress
Has conquered distance and time,
Yet, see how little Progress
Has conquered hatred and enmity.
Ha! Proud we are with Lindbergh,
A new page in Progress,
But, see the devastation
Which that air bird is spreading.
What achievements in medicine
To safe, to guard, human life,
But, look at the marines

AN INTERNATIONAL BUREAU FOR LYING
TO The WORKING CLASS

constant increase in production,
means increased unemployment and
has a tendency constantly to lower
wages and beat down working condi-
lions in general. 1t does not require
a superabundance of economic I'M
derstanding to perceive the fact
that the speeding-up system enables
the capitalist masters to produce
more goods with less labor and that
instead of increasing employment it
throws workers onto the street.
Every ordinary trade unionist knows
that when there is unemployment in
industry it is difficult to maintain
wage standards, and almost impos-
sible to secure increases.
lust what are are the facts re-
y garding the increase of produc-
ton since 1919?
There is no question that produc-
ton has increased to a considerable
extent, but this does not mean that
the number of wage-workers has in
creased in proportion. Quite the
contrary is the case, in spite of the
dirty sermonizing of the profession
al liars of the capitalist class.
Certainly no one will contend that
the United States department of la
Dor is partial to labor. On many oc-
casions we have presented facts to
prove that this department, especi-
ally under James J. Davis and the
Harding Coolidge Hoover gang,
twists figures in order to maintain
the illusion of prosperity that is the
stock-in-tr trade of the republican adj
ministration. Hence when We quote its
figures on production in relation to
employment no one can accuse us of
quoting from sources partial to la
Dor.
The figures are available only to
the close of 1925. AS compiled by
the federal reserve board and present
ed in the Monthly Labor Review of
the United States department of la
Dor for May, 1927, statistics show
that between 1919 and 1925 the num-
Der of wage earners decreased ST.
per cent, while the population of the
country increased 90 per cent. Wage
earners per 1000 population in 1925
were 1911 per cent fewer than in
1919.
Thus we have the spectacle of a
constantly increased production, with
a constantly diminishing number of
wage workers.
We await patiently the attempts
of all the contemplate scOundrels
and swindlers who call themselves
labor statisticians to explain away
these damning facts. In order that
there may be no quibbling over our
source of information we herewith
publish the table which is to be found
on page IT, of the May issue of the

ONE of the most effective and de-
" ceptive weapons in the hands of
the league of nations is its so-called
International Labor Office, which is
supposed to handle labor problems
affecting international relations. It's
principal function thus far has been
that of propaganda and it maintains
an elaborate staff of alleged econo-
mists, labor experts and compilers OF
statistics. These worthless devote
their precious time to presenting
fraudulent arguments reeking with
sophistry, in behalf of the ruling
classes of Europe.
At the present time the industrial
lists and the bankers who have heavy
investments in Europe are trying to
make secure their investments by in

American speed-up system. A whole
series of recent weekly bulletins of
the labor office is devoted to try

same banal arguments put forth by
the American lackeys of the capital
list class in the labor movement to
the effect that only increased produc-
ton will increase wages are the
principal stock in trade of the mental
prostitutes of the international la

that adjunct Of the league of ma
tons could have been written by Matt

miliar ring of the class-collaboratio-
mist outfit that pollutes the Amer
lean labor movement.
IN what purports to be review of
1 the condition of labor in the United
States since 1919 the international
labor office" contends that there is
no doubt that there has been a gen
eral increase in the prosperity of
the working classes in the States and
that this has gone hand in hand with
increased production"
While it is undeniable that the
condition of the upper strata, the
most highly skilled, of the American
working class enjoys a higher stan
dard of life than the workers of
capitalist Europe, it is not due to
the increased productivity of Amer
lean industries, but to the fact that
this strata of the working class is
bribed by the super-profits realized
from the vicious imperialist exploit

Nothing is so heartrending to the devout

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

Christmas has charms all its own. 1t is the
great high day in the world, as we'll as in the
church. However things may go, it is univer

out it's sunshine Although every heart knoweth
it's own bitterness, the birthday of Jesus comes,
whether men laugh or sob not to mock, but to
comfort and inspire. Only one cloud can OBJ

Somehow the mutitudes delight to turn to-

makes the heart sing His holy feast is not the
successor of the pagan Saturnaia for heather
rotng is intolerable to the immaculateness of
Christmas. The Christ child himself makes the
day and apart from Him its blessed mlnstrels
cease. A last analysis will show that the mil
lions are happy because they say that Jesus was
born on Chrismtas Day 1t is because they so
explain the day, and thus come in touch with
the divine Christ, that one day in every year we
have Christmas world. Contact with the Lord
always means happiness, and sooner or later
the truth will be more generally recognized that
no life is normal and beautiful and joyous and
really strong unless it includes love and reVer-
