THE GALLEY SLAVES.
FRED J. FLATMAN.

Once upon a time, when slavery
was the basis upon which human So
ciety was constructed, a galley ship
was on its way from Egypt bound for
Bristol, England. In its hulk lay
hundreds Of whip-gashed slaves. They
were destined for BristoPs world
known slave market.
When the ship was in the Bay Of
Biscay, great storm came on. 1t bid
fair to destroy the vessel. Sickness
had carried off many of the crew, and
the captain, finding himself short
handed went down into the hold,
struck the chains from the limbs of
slaves and bid them to the deck to
SAVE THE SHIP.
These slaves, vitalised with the air
of freedom, rushed up the rigging and
worked like Trojans. For many hours
they struggled with the elements.
Finally they saved the ship.
Then, when all fear of danger had
passed, when the ship was riding cas-
lily, as it were on the crest of the
waves, the slaves were led back to the
holds. This time, however, their
chains were more securely fastened.
For the idea had occurred to the cap
tain that having saved the ship for
their owners, they might feel like saw
ing it for themselves.

The Geneva Conference.

Just recently a conference was held
in Geneva, Switzerland. This confer
ence was called by the most powerful
capitalist countries, for the purpose
1--WE are told) of outlawing and abol-
ishing wars. To this conference was
invited the Soviet Union, the only
workers government in existence.
Now, the Communists thruout the
world, and of course including the
Soviet Union, have always maintained
that wars under this present system
of capitalism were inevitable and
could not be abolished while exploita-
ton and labor for wages continue to
exist. However, the Soviet Union
participated in this conference for
two reasons. The first one was to
prove its peaceful intentions to the
rest Of the world and the second one
was to prove the insincerity of the
capitalist countries. This was accom-
plished by instructing Litvinoff, the
Soviet Unions delegate, to introduce
to the conference a plan for complete
disarmament. This showed that the
Soviet Union was willing to disarm if
the capitalist countries were willing
to do likewise. BY the manner in
which they changed the discussion
from disarmament to security, the
capitalist delegates showed to the OPP
pressed peoples thruout the world,
that capitalism will never disarm, but
only seeks to lull the workers, poor
farmers, and oppressed colonials into
believing that they are attempting to
disarm. Real disarmament can only
become reality when thruout the
world there will exist one, great, big,
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
Note: In this article, we state that
wars under capitalism are inevitable.
Can you tell us why?

BY ROBERT MITCHELL.

The case which the Interborough
attorney, James L. Quackenbush,
has so skilfully built up for the COM
pany union appears imposing indeed
until one begins to look beyond the
camouflage and plain misrepresen-
tation with which this gentleman has
clothed its naked ugliness.
1t has already been shown that
the rank and file members of the
company union have no powers ex-
cept to obey and submit. The
Brotherhood Constitution" is itself
proof that in the hands of the gen
eral committee composed of some
sixty delegates is placed all power
and authority.
It will be the task here to give
more intimate picture of these dele
gates in their actual work of rep
resenting" their members.

Can't Bully Workers in

to his surprise that there were no

no constabulary TO shoot the trade

Rothman the delegate) said, We'll,

Then he turned in the names of

Another delegate to the General

"That on the 9Th day of August,
1927, deponent met Harry Hunt on

ponent and that Harry Hunt
slipped something into deponent's
pocket as he passed him on the
platform; that deponent found the
article slipped into his pocket to be
an application for membership in
the Amalgamated : y.
For this act of trust, Hunt was
turned in to the Interborough. An
other company henchman is T. D
