The close relationship of Fred R. Marvin of the New
York Commercial and the American Defense Society
to all these army officers may be gathered from Mr.
Marvins series of articles which in the Army and
Navy Journal in the spring of 1926 (see page 92 Sew

tional good will. All the War Department use the

typical verbal assault progressive movements
by big army advocates made in 1925 the League
for Industrial Democracy in the pages of the Bulletin
of the S3rd Division of the u. 5. Army and IN the
Quartermaster Review. Other army officers took up
the false charges which consisted of treason" and
references to the circulation of so-caed "slackers

found to have originated with Mr. Marvin who is sys

Mr. Marvin asked to produce evidence to prove his
lying charges he failed usual to reply Mr.. Norman
Thomas, a director of the League, refers to Marvins
statements Childish and malicious misrepresenta-
tions."
One of the earlier army officer mix-ups with the
peace societies is described by Leonard Cline in The
War the Peace Seekers New Republic, July 2,
1924:

Ryan of the Catholic University of America In particu-
lar he attacked Frederick J. Libby executive secretary
"He declared, according to the affidavits, that Mr.
Libby educated for the promotion of Communism in
Russia by Russians that after returning from Russia
he taught Communism in Pennsylvania; that he is a
Communist; and that he and associate take turns
visiting Russia get instructions from the Soviet gov
ernment that the Council is the tool of the Sovets and
its constructive cloak to hide its sinister
designs that the Council and Mr.. Libby want to
throw government by violence
Immediately there was a hue of indignation. Cen
eral Bowey was asked for proofs. He promised them

help in his predicament unable to more than
that 1T is impossible that in his General Bowleys)
address in Columbus he used expressions which, if liter
ally construed he could not prove but to his real
purpose honest citizen question him."
The activities of other army professional propagan-
dsts is told by Mr. Cline in subsequent article New
Republic July g. 1920, follows:
"There is for instance the activity of Lieutenant
Colonel H. H. Sheets We have at hand copy of let
ter sent by Colonel Sheets to Dr. John A. Ryan of the
Catholic University of America who is the executive
board of the National Council for Prevention of War.
Dr. Ryan had delivered address before the conven-
ton of the Women's International League for Peace
and Freedom. Colonel Skeets demanded answers to a
list of questions which imputed to the League and to Dr.
Ryan well program Of violent comnunistic doc
trnes. Religious prejudice was brought out boldly in
the letter, which concluded Are you willing to be
branded self-appointed destroyer of the nations?
Copies Of this letter sent to the press.
And there is the incessant propagandizing of such
journals the Army and Navy Register An article in
the November TO- 1929 issue Of this organ declared that
$3O00000 in gold had been sent into the United States
by the "Communstic International On the return from
Europe of Frederick j. Libby of the National Council
for Prevention of War, a campaign to wipe out our
army and navy would begin, the article declared, so
that when the red uprising the country will be at
its mercy"
What has been done to couneract these absurd state
ments from military sources? Mr.. Cline reports:

Labor Faces a Turn in the Road

Zero breezes" approaching. While
the development of American capt.
talism is still distinctly on the up
grade, there are signs of turn in
the road. Recent reports indicate
serious declines in the automobile,
textile and building industries, which
are key factors in the maintenance of
the present period of American pros
perity. Conditions in Europe, in
which American capitalism has be-
come deeply involved are most UNI
settled and are highly charged with
social electricity.
Under these changing conditions, it
is becoming increasingly evident that
the American capitalist class has de-
cided to change its tactics, to drop its
honeyed phrases, and come down to
business. The following recent
events bear out this conclusion: ~
The offensive against the miners
union. (2) The refusal by the Fed
eral Board of Mediation of an in
crease in wages to conductors and
trainmen on fifty-five western rail-
roads. (3) The renewal of the use
of injunctions on a broad scale
against labor (stone cutters, carmen,
needle trades). az The proposed at

being discussed by the employers in

go The ferocity of the attack against
the most militant section of the
American labor movement in the
needle trades. ~ The pressure be-
ing brought to bear upon the Broth

Bank by the Mitten interests. These
examples, which can be amplified by
others in every section of the coun-
try, make it evident that an often
sive against the trade unions Of this
country on broad and formidable
scale, is slowly but surely gathering
Roadway.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-06-28

THIS prospect holds the possibility
of deep-going changes in the
American labor movement in the
not distant future. Labor is facing
more and more the question of the
defense Of its most fundamental and
elementary rights to organize, to
strike and to picket. In this struggle
the honest trade union elements in
the American Federation, those who
refuse to surrender their basic rights,
must either step forward, consolidate
their forces, draw in from the ranks
Of the unorganized new and coura-
geous fighting elements, and build a
broad militant left wing, which will
hold a real promise for a rennais-
sance of the entire American labor
movement, and a period of great de-
velopmcnt and growth, or they must
face the impending danger Of the
complete wiping-out Of the trade
unions and the inevitable crushing Of
labor's standards which will follow
The lines are crystallizing sharply
between those who are ready To
desert the labor movement and those
who are ready to fight for its ex-
istence.

the American labor officialdom has
literally swamped the labor move
ment with this propaganda for the
last few years and it has found its
concrete expression in arbitration
schemes, the B. and o. plan for in
creasing the productivity Of labor and
various forms of labor banking and
insurance. One cannot doubt but
that the material conditions Of pros
perity in which America found itself
during this period, gave an impetus
to this propaganda, and that it seri-
ously affected and dulled the mill
fancy and fighting spirit of certain
sections Of the American working
class. Even in our own ranks it gave
rise to certain expressions Of scepti-
cism and pessimism from those who
based their views on temporary and
superficial phenomena.

Previous to the fight, Jack Hur-

had announced that his charge
would probably quit the bob-and-

pressive showing against Kahn.
Billy's indecisive fight with Jack
Herman in Philadelphia earlier in
the year was the reason. In that
fiasco, Billy had an old cut over
one Of his eyes laid open. The
referee stopped the set-to and
