bosses if given proper leadership.
Where is this leadership to come
from? The workers are almost COM
pletely unorganized. Only a small
fraction of the 100000 are in the
unions. These are split into two
unions both of them reactionary in
leadership and policies. The leader
ship Of both has time and again be-
trayed the workers in numerous
struggles. Can the U. T. w. under
the arch reactionary MacMahon lead
the thousands of textile workers in
a general organization drive? There
is neither the desire nor the will to
fight. The U. T. w. is a name of
the past here.
Or is it the American Federation
of Textile Operatives under the pre-
sidency Of Police Commissioner Tan
sey? The role of Tansey and the
A. F. T. O. in choking the strike
movement in Fall River by stealing
the first strike vote and by shunting
off the second vote, is we'll known.

Another growing institution is the
excursion" The whole country is
overrun, both summer and winter,
with union excursions. Excursionists
receive substantial reductions in rail
road fares. There are excursions be-
tween one industry and another, and
one factory and another. (Some fac
tory clubs have special exhibitions
showing graphically all the processes
of production. These are, of course,
visited by eager delegations of work
ers from other factories where such
exhibitions have not yet been pre-

on boats, excursions between cities,
excursions between factory and vii

employment and more misery for the
workers. More unemployment in turn
brings greater possibilities for the
employers to cut wages since there
is a large reserve of labor to fall
back on in case of strikes or resist
ance to wage cuts.
The textile workers in New Eng
land can look forward to a period
of struggles against the textile bar
ons who are shifting the burden of
the depression to the bent backs of
the workers.

That the workers realize this must
be evident to all acquainted with the
situation. The strike movement in
Fall River where even the corrupt
officialidom of the United Textile
Workers, under pressure from the
progressives, accepted the general
strike slogan and put the American
Federation of Textile Operatives on
the defensive; the strikes in the Park

ment for organization in Maynard,
Lawrence and even in Manchester,
these are indications Of the readiness
to fight against the offensive of the

Libraries.
The libraries of the unions must
also be specially mentioned. There
are central workers libraries at the
trades council headquarters, circulat-
ing libraries run by THE central COM
mittees and provincial departments
of the unions, as well as libraies in
the clubs and large factories. The
Railroad Workers Union has several
hundred "station libraries" as well as
over 5000 travelling Libraries, in
addition to its regular club libraries.
A typical provincial trades council
library is the one in Moscow used by
some 10000 workers active in trade
union education in that city. Any
union member, however, may use it.
AS in other libraries, the stairways
leading to it are lined with charts
and diagramed instructions telling
the worker how to do research, how
to read to the best advantage, giving
suggested photographers on summer
culture work, children's work, chow

of the A. F. T. o. It is but little
better than company union.
Textile Mill Committees.
There is but one force in the textile
industry which can lead the workers
into successful struggle for organiza-
tion and against wage cuts, and these
are the progressives organized in the
Textile Mill Committees. Organized
on the basis of committees in each
mill this organization can readily
take the lead in any struggle thru the
conversion Of these committees into
strike organs. Connected up as they
are turnout New England they can
readily receive strike assistance or
any other support from the workers
in other mill centers. This is the or
ganization which holds out great
promise for the future.
The program of this organization
covers the basic needs of the textile
workers Of New England.
l. Organization of the unorganized.
2. Fight against wage cuts and the

The Strangling of Haiti by Wall Street

after he assumed office in 1922 has
resulted in establishing the finances
of Haiti on sound basis.
The so-called high commissioner,
Mr. John H. Russell's duty is to say
something every year about Haiti in
order to maintain his job, as big
master roller of that little republic.
Haiti is at the present time under
the worst oppression that any one
could imagine.
Louis Borno, a born Frenchman,
was imposed on the Haitian people by
the American military officials as
president, on orders received from
Washington.
John H. Russell, an American mar
inc corps officer, was nominated high
commissioner of the republic. To-
gether they make their own laws,
they say what they want and do what
they please. They even procure some
amendments to the Haitian constitu-
ton. In 1926 they borrowed from
Wall Street $3O,00O,OOO of which I
dare any one to give account of the
first fifteen millions.

Wage Cuts for Workers.

But even under the present cur
tailment, production is still in excess
of sales. The domestic market has
slightly declined from January to
February, 1928 while compared with
February of last year the decline is
even marked. The foreign market
which was the one hope of the textile
barons has also collapsed. Exports
for the seven months ending with
February shows a decline Of 80 per
cent, and the tendency is downward.
What does this wean to the tex
tile workers? 1t means that the tex
tile barons will shift the burden of
the crisis to the backs of the work
ers. While the manufacturers are
receiving refunds on assessed valu-
alton of property Ia saving Of
thousands Of dollars), lower spindle
tax and other concessions, the work
ers are getting wage cuts, longer
hours and are being sped up to in
crease profits.
With production now in excess of
sales greater curtailment may be ex-
pected, bringing with it greater I'M

The cred corner, to which we have
referred number of times, is a room
or perhaps only the corner of a room
in factory, department of a fac
tory, club, a workers cooperative
dining room, an apartment house, a
school, a union headquarters, or a
workers rest home, where educational
work is carried on similar to that in
the clubs. Factory "red corners" are
usually conducted by the educational
subcommittee of the fabkom. It's aim
is to bring all the cultural work nearer
to the union members, not all of
whom are enrolled in the clubs. The
Corner" provides newspapers, maya
zines, books, study courses. Talks
are given and papers and books are
read aloud to those workers who are
still illiterate. When the worker

from the factory, "red corner" may

the extensive and progressive pro-
gram of the development including
the rapid retirement of the public
debt has been continued without re-
course to the substantial reserve fund

crop failure or other calamity"
All this is nothing but more lies.
The year 1927 was to the Haitian
people the most miserable year that
they have ever had since the indie
pendence of Haiti January the year
of 1904.

of Haiti are rs per cent Americans;
all the best positions are occupied by
the Americans with superintendent

the Haitian worker is 80 per cent
smaller than those of the most litter
ate and ignorant American.
Russell did not say a word about
the foreign debt, he did not even men
ton the $30,000,O0O that he took
from Wall Street in the name of the
Haitian Republic.

have sprung up in recent years
museums on art, health, bird life,
evolution, protection of labor, furni-
ture, social hygiene, revolution and
technical subjects, to mention only
few. There are over fifty such mu-
seums in Moscow alone. The Rus
sian worker who has not been on an
excursion to a museum of some kind
is a rare animal. Excursions from
city to city often take place on holi-
days. Over the Christmas holidays
Leningrad and Moscow, for example,
will exchange 5000 trade union ex-
cursionists, many of whom have
never been away from their home
towns before.

port to Washington when you know
that it isn't true? The misery has
increased 100 per cent in Haiti since
the American occupation there. Con-
ditions have gone from bad to worse.
Mr.. Russell has made almost every
week a new law against the advan-
tage of the Haitian people.
The people of Haiti are suffering
such that they are compelled to emil
CRATE themselves daily to France, to
Cuba, to the United States, with the
intention of never returning to Haiti
as long as the Americans will remain
there.
If you want to find out if what l
am saying is true you can inquire at
the Department of Labor at Ellis Is
land and the Haitian consulate in
New York as to how many Haitians
land here every month.
More Lies.
From the point of view of customs
revenues General Russell reports the
year has been all that could be de-
sired, but, "as a result of the sound
financial policy in operation and the
accuracy with which financial esti-
mates have been made, not only have

Boss Profits
Swelled AS
Trusts Grow
By LELAND OLDs, (Fed. Press

Profits totaling S3,278, 051, 900 were
accumulated in 1927 by 693 of Ameri-
cas- 100000 corporations, according
to the New York federal reserve
bank. This marks falling off OF
about 7 per cent compared with the
$3,518, $4,000 profits made by these
corporations in 1926, but the total is
greater than in any other recent year.
The banks tabulation includes 381
industrial and commercial companies,
129 telephone and other public utility
corporations and 1873 railroads. The
industrial and commercial group made
profits totaling $1,679, 100000, COM
pared with 1,822,200,000 in 1925. The
public utility profits were $512,819,-
600, compared with $462, 979, 900 while
the railroads made $1,085, 342, 900 in
1927, compared with 1,233,003,O00 in
1926.
The profits of 1927 are huge COM
pared with anything but the super
profits of 1925. The mean that in
spite of all talk about narrow profit
margins the owning class is collect
ing tribute at rate unequalled IN
any former age of exploitation. The
1927 profits of these 693 corporations
alone would give 6 per cent return
on capitalization of more than $780,
100000.
Below the surface, however, the
struggle for profits is becoming in
creasingly bitter. With all industries
vastly over-expanded and capital be-
ing created in excess of anything the
country can use under the present
system, the final stage of competitive
capitalism is at hand. Out of the
struggle will emerge few giant
monopolistic corporations dominating
the economic life of the people and
pouring a regular profit tribute into
the Golfers of a multi-millionaire up
per class.
