The Lincolns of 1927
Must March in Today's
Army of Emancipation
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

ONCE this is the anniversary Of
~ Abraham Lincoln's birth, the
question is raised, "What attitude
would Abraham Lincoln take to-
ward Nicaragua, Mexico and China
if he were in the White House to-
day."
This question has already been
raised in congress with both the
war crowd and the anti-war ele-
ment claiming Lincoln as their
cwn.
Representative Benjamin l.. Fair
child, of New York, republican,
who introduced the first resolution
in congress to endorse President
Coolidge Nicaraguan and Mexican
policy, claims Lincoln for his side.
So does Representative George
Huddleston, of Alabama, democrat,
most outspoken against the Cool
idge imperialist policies.
In speeches that will be made
today, in all sections of the land,
the worst capitalist reaction will
laud Lincoln as its own. Every kept
sheet will publish editorials bur-
dened with fulsome eulogy and
Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech" will
again find space in fancy type, For
this there must be some reason.
That reason is very clear. Lin
coin in 1860 was elected as the pres
ident of an aspiring young capital
list class in this country. 1t had
not yet come to power. The south
ern slave holding aristocracy still
held the reins of power.
Lincoln opposed the predatory
war against Mexico that ante
dated the Civil War. He spoke
against this war as member of
congress. That was thoroly con-
sistent with his position as a
spokesman Of northern capitalism.
The South wanted to annex new
territory for the spread of chattel
slavery, which meant the increase
of it's grip on governmental power
in Washington, that was rapidly
slipping. Chattel slavery was in
a death struggle with the develop
ing wage slavery. Northern CAPT
talism sought to hasten the funeral.
\
When the Civil War started, "for
the preservation of the union,"
Lincoln did not have in mind the
freeing of the slaves. The eman-
cipation proclamation did not come
until the war had been on for some
time, and then only as war
measure" forced on the North in its
efforts to win a military victory,
and not as a matter of principle.
y
The rising capitalist class in all
countries has always sought allies
among the workers. Lincoln put
much into writing that is being used
to show sympathy for the working

German Plans Fish
Boat" Liners to Go
Sixty Miles an Hour

BERLIN, Feb. IA fish boat"
which ultimately successful would re-
volutionize shipbuilding and produce
ocean liners with speed of more than
60 miles an hour was invented by
A. Boerner, a Dresden engineer, it
was learned today.
A 27-foot trial boat, built on new
principles produced remarkable re-
suits on the Elbe River, it is said.
The invention is based on the method
of propulsion used by fish, accord
ing to Boerner, who declared that
fish propel themselves by the water
which they swallow thru their mouth
and expel thru their gills. Their fins
are used merely to keep their balance,
he says. Their tail is their steering
gear, he concludes.
In the same manner his "fish" boat
takes in water in the front, expels il
by turbines on the sides which are SO
grooved that the boat acts in the
water the same way as a fish.

Edison Doesn't Know
About Immortality;

WEST ORANGE, N. J., Feb. Ii
Thomas Alva Edison is growing old
1t shows in more than the fact that
he celebrated just now his eightieth
birthday.
The spark of genius still appears
in his conversation. but the old mans
Inconsistency is there too. With a
swarm Of reporters around him, with
Henry Ford standing by his side,
Edison talked by and large about life
and inventions.
He regards the monograph as his
greatest invention. He does not feel
sure Of the immortality Of the soul.
He believes that some supreme power
guides for good the destinies Of man
kind. He approves Of the military
training camps. He is ready to work
on until "two or three days before

VAN SWERINGEN
BROTHERS ASK
TO FORM TRUST
Want to Unite Erie and
Chesapeake Ohio

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Van
Sweringen billion dollar railroad mer-
ger, turned down by the interstate
commerce commission some months
ago, made its appearance in new
form ,ate this afternoon when the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad applied
to the interstate commerce commits
sion for authority TO control the Erie
and Pere Marquette lines through
stock ownership.
In the Merger.
Both roads were to have been in
cluded in the billion dollar merger.
At the same time, the C. & o. petit
toned the interstate commerce COM
mission for authority to issue addi-
tional common stock of c. & 0. stock
to the value of $59,5O2,OO0 par.
Basis For System.
The practical effect of the new Van
Sweringen plan is to make the Chesa-
peake G. Ohio, instead of the Nickel
plate, the basis for the great system
which the two brothers have project
ed.
"Such unification will encourage in
dustrial development, as it will pro-
vide wider distributing territory
and improved SERVICE" it said. 1.-THE
lines of the railroad of the applicant
and of the Erie and the Pere Mar
quette are complementary to and
supplementary of each other, and,
logically lend themselves to unfit
cation and operation as a single sys-
tenn.
Majority Of Common Stock.
in addition to the shares now own
ed outright, the Chesapeake & Ohio
will purchase, subject to the COM
missions approval, shares CT the Erie
and Pere Marquette covered in op-
tions obtained from o. p. Van Swer-
ingen. 1t will acquire from the Nickle
plate $4,000 shares of Pere Mar
quette common now under contract.
Such additional shares of Pere Mar
quette will be purchased in order to
give the Chesapeake & Ohio numer-
zeal majority of the common stock in
both roads.

class. He was even in cOmmunica-
ton with Karl Marx, founder Of
the International Workingmen's
Association, who laid the scientific
basis of Socialist theory and prac-
tice. 1t was Marx who eXerted
every energy to keep the mill
hands of England's industrial cen
tiers sympathetic TO the North, in
spite of the fact that the British
textile mills were idle and many
were starving due to the war block
ade Of the cotton-growing South.
Lincoln warned of the abuse of
power that was falling into the
hands of profit-hungry capitalists.
In this he was prophet of the
evils that would develop under the
new social order.
Those evils have developed far
beyond anything that Lincoln pre-
dicted. The oppression OF the VIC
torious capitalist North has not
only spread to all the domains un-
der the stars and stripes but, with
its. imperialist expansion, seeks to
enslave the whole world to the rule
Of the dollar. II is this power that
rules in Washington today in place
of the chattel slave owners of the
last century. Both the republican
Fairchild, from New York, and the
democrat Huddleston, from Ala
bama, are supporters of this capt.
tslist social system based on the
private ownership Of property.
They may have their differences to
be sure. There were also various
wings of the democratic party that
espoused chattel slavery before the
Civil War and sought, thru years
Of bloody conflict, to perpetuate it.
There are also numerous factions
of the republican party. But they
are alike in that they support the
dominant social order. They are
all part of the class that is in
power.
Just as in 1860, so in 1927, there
is new class rising to power.
That class is the working class,
that wars against the capitalist
class in today's class struggle.
If Lincoln lived today, occupying
a position similar to that of 1860,
he would be with the class that is
rising in power, which is today the
producing mass of workers and far
mers.
"The Emancipation" Of today
must stand for and fight for the
liberation Of the last oppressed
class thru the victory of labor. He
must be a part of that great army
of liberators that Karl Marx re-
ferred TO when he said, "thc work
ing class must emancipate ITSELF"
The Lincolns Of today, loyal to the
new rising class, viii march for
ward with the workers. They have
no other place to go.

TIFF BETWEEN
GOVERNOR And
BOSS LOBBYIST
Result Is Rather Good
For Michigan Labor
Especial 10 The Daily Worker)

AGRC|AAl w OhAAs
MUSKEGON, Mich, Feb. IL. -
Michigan for the past three weeks
has been witnessing the unusual
spectacle of manufacturer governor,
Fred w. Green, president of the
Ypsilanti Reed Furniture Company
of Ionia, Michigan, openly fighting to
Dust John l.. Lovett, manager and Of
ficial lobbyist Of the Michigan Manu-
facturer's Association, from the state
capitol.
Governor Green announced several
weeks ago, following his inaugural adj
dress in which he declared he would
rid Lansing, the state capital, of all
lobbyists, that Lovett must 60. Lovett
fought back and has since secured the
solid backing of the Manufacturers
Association. 1t is their claim that
they have a perfect right to be rep
resented in the legislative halls by
Lovett, their lobbyist.
Personal Grudge?
The real secret Of the situation, it
is reported, is that Governor Green
several years ago had a battle with
Lovett. At this time Green was still
actively engaged in the manufacture
of reed furniture. Since then he has
it in for Lovett and is now out gum
ming for him. The last step in the
fight was enacted just before both
of the men visited this city to attend
the regional conference Of the Great
Lakes St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso-
citation. 1t was thought that they
might meet here and have it out, but
the Governors visit was cut to but
two hours.
Lovett and Poole Confer.
Lovett and W. II. Burnham, of
Adrian, state president of the manu-
facturers, however, were in the city
all day comforting with Walter Poole,
secretary of the local employers as
ISOLATION and the one chiefly respon-
sible for arousing general indignation
proceedings among capitalists against
G. Sherwood Eddy, the Y. NJ. c. A.
secretary who visited Soviet Russia
last summer and returning advocated
recognition of Russia.
Shook Up Labor Department.
Another of the interesting political
developments since the inauguration
of Governor Green was his appoint
ment of Eugene ]. Brock, of Detroit,
former union organizer for the Inter-
national Machinists, as chairman Of
the department of labor and industry.
Brock replaced Perry Ward, another
Detroit union leader, who is reported
to have let the big manufacturing
interests off too easy with his inspec-
ton and other work.

SENATE PASSES FARM RELIEF BILL

CARNATIONS in Washington are not
fooling the farmers. The latter know
the Haugen-McNary bill ought to be
beaten, and would join in praising the
president for swinging the veto axe.
The house vote on the bill will be
close, but I believe there is still a
chance of defeating it."
Praises Its Faults.
The McNary Haugen farm relief
bill is not very revolutionary mea-
sure, even using the word in its most
figurative sense. It's author, Haugen,
defends the lack of any provision for
cheap loans to the farmers, and calls
that lack a virtue. In speech in the
house he said:
eve do not want bill granting a
subsidy" or to cram down the Threats
of the producer further loans to put
the farmer deeper in debt. We want
this bill, endorsed by practically all
of the producers who favor practical,
sound, sane, safe and effective legis-
lation."
Defends Equalization.
The equalization fee plan Of the bill
to which his name is attached was de-
Tended Hangar denying it would
give the importer an advantage over
the American producers.
In the last analysis, Haugen de-
clared, the farm relief bill is an ex-
pertinent, and he called upon all Off
Gals of the government to unite sin
cerely in working sits workable" pro-
visions.

The scene of the famous trial was

in the production of the trial was
that an almanac which Lincoln used
