best. A recent portrait of Mrs. Cool
idge that appeared in a soaked-in-

toned: 1.-THE lady that runs the
white house efficiently" Thousands
OF women who were supposed to
revolutionize things when they got
the vote will say: isn't she a dear"
and cast their votes for her husband.
Coolidge may not be a great man,
but he is good Judge of the great
American sap.
THIS is the kind Of thing that makes

ing with simple questions of wages
hours, etc., are outlawed. These also
become illegal if they take the form
of sympathetic strikes affecting other
workers than those originally in
volved.
(2) Scabs are given additional
protection.
(3) Picketing is outlawed.
az Severe rules governing the
use of union funds for political pur-
poses are set up.
(5) Government employees are
prohibited from joining any but civil
service unions or engaging in political
activity.
(6) Provisions for union labor in
municipal contracts, etc. are declared
illegal and municipal employees and
other public service workers are
severely penalized for stopping work
without due notice.
~ The encouragement is given
wide powers in enforcing the provi-
sions of the bill.
THE first provision of the bill prac-
tically abolishes the right to strike.
1t first states clearly that if a strike
has any other object that that of adj
vancing the economic interests of the
workers in one trade or industry,
that it is by virtue of this fact
illegal.
Second, if the strike is designed or
calculated to bring pressure to bear
upon the government or upon the
community cor any substantial Sec
ton of it," it likewise becomes IL
legal.
But this is not all. The decision as
to the legality or illegality of strike
rests with the courts.
THE declarations of the strikers as
to their intentions have no weight.
A judge or jury composed of prop
erty-holders, "ratepayers" is the Eng
lish ter1n) decides first the object of
the strike and second if it is "cOer-
Give" or not.
1t is easily seen that, under the
bill as proposed, the only guarantee
that strike has of not being declared
illegal is that it is ineffective. In
other words, strikes which the capt.
talists feel certain will be defeated be-
cause of their small size and lack of
militancy are the only kind of strikes
which will be tolerated.
A STRIKE to free political prisoners
Awould be illegal. A strike of trans
port workers to aid coal miners-or
vice versa-would be illegal. A strike
to force consideration of unemploy-
ment relief, strike against war-all
protest and sympathetic strikes are
to be made illegal.
Likewise strike in the coal min
ing industry, the transport industry,
the electric light and power industry,
in telephone and telegraph, etc. be-
comes illegal because the courts will

and picketing is therefore abolished.
To strengthen this provision of the
bill another clause makes it illegal
even to watch house for the purpose
OF persuading any person not to scab.
A fine of 500 or three months i'm
prisonment is the penalty for such
an "offense."
IN is when the bill begins to deal
with the funds for political pur-
poses collected by unions that the
British rulingclass shows where the
shoe pinches most. 1t is evident from
the language employed that this Sec
ton of the bill, which is direct
blow at the Labor Party, is framed
to lay the basis for deal with the
reformist elements who are undoubt-
edly willing to accept other features
restricting the strike powers of
unions in order to preserve as much
as possible of the trade union cleo
ton machinery.
L present any member of a trade
union IS free to apply for exemp-
ton from assessments for political
purposes. But under the new nro-
visions every member of a union must
signify in writing his willingness 70
contribute to the political fund-on
a blank form provided for in the hill.
a clause OF which kindly informs the
member that he can withdraw his con-
sent at any time.
mo political assessment can be COL
lected from member of a trade
union who has not given his consent
IN the manner stipulated. Whereas
the previous procedure was for a
member to notify the union that he
did not wish to contribute, now he
must notify his union that he IS will
ing to contribute.
LII funds for political purposes
unjust be kept separate from other
money, and the minutest details of
all transactions filed with the Regis
trar Of Friendly Societies. The gov
eminent thus has a check on all
phases of workingclass political activ-
ity involving financial expenditures.
Here the reformists will probably
accept a compromise. That is thew
would be willing to define "political
funds" as those which are used onlv
in elections and thus agree with the
government that the wider political
activities of the labor movement such
as demonstrations, relief for political
prisoners, agitation against imperial
list adventures, aid to colonial labor
and revolutionary movements, etc.
should be banned.
THE section of the bill dealing with
civil servants, i.e., government en-
ployes, makes workers in this cate
CORY virtual slaves of the British
oligarchy. They are prohibited from
membership in any union which is
in any way, directly or indirectly,
affiliated with any political organi-
cation. They are allowed to belong
only to unions whose membership-or
affiliated memberships composed
of government employees.

the 10th movie comedian that has
purchased land in Beverly Hills,
where the clown, Will Rogers, poses
as mayor to the greater glory Of
Will and to the profit of Beverly's
real estate men. "A" paid 100000

even for a comedian.
WE learn as the result Of an investi-
cation that our local transit barons
have been paying tremendous divi-
dends to their stockholders during
the past years, while they were
threatening to pass the hat to the
public in the form of an increased
fare. In fact quite a number of
skeptical people were on the point of
believing them so consistent was
their cry. In four years the Inter-
borough paid 1874 per cent. This
will put n damper on the move for
fare increase, but unless 1t gives
the transit employees encouragement
to jump and get some Of this surplus
coin, the greater part Of its value will
be missing.

$500 to The DAILY WORKER fund.

that comes to the workers through

to the capitalist oligarchy and their
system. Let's have more truth"
AT the annual meeting of share
holders of the Lithuanian Communist
Daily, "VILNIS," "a resolution was
passed pledging full support to our
only English daily, The DAILY
WORKER, in its fight against the
extreme reactionaries, and as a be-
ginnig, a collection of $685. was
taken up to aid in the fight"
A "sympathizer" from Detroit,

$4,000 to the sustaining fund of The

elski, of the same city, adds $1,000
to make an even $100.
