only and there is now no perceptible
difference between them on this is
sue. Both actually favor high pro-
tective tariff, which means tariff
to protect the big monopolies. With
Raskob and other firance-capitalists
furnishing the democrats wi h
money, they would not dare to
change the tariff schedule that
secures unlimited monopoly to the
big trusts. 1t enables the capitalists
to raise the price of their products,
and thus making such large profits
that they can sell in foreign markets
below cost price.
"The protective tariff and trust
monopoly are dangerous factors
working for new imperialist wars.
With the great super-profits which
result fro their protection, the
capitalists are reaching out for new
territories and markets. This expan-
sion necessitates larger military for
ces to protect their investments
abroad. The protective tariff is in
reality defensive weapon of the
imperialists. The interests of the
workers are opposed to high tar
if. But free trade alone is not
enough and would bring no perma.
nent relief for the workers. The
whole structure of capitalist society
must be abolished, a workers anc
farmers government established anC
industry organized on a socialis'
basis. Only revolution can accom-
plish this. The Workers Party i.

ent struggles for relief from intol

as militant workers must help them
to build their union and assist in
this work morally and financially
to bring it to a successful conclu-
sion.
In the metal, printing, shoe, build

similar conditions as to powerful

nothing because of the surrender
policy of the labor bureaucracy, their
attitude towards the organization of
the unorganized. Class-collabora-

(c) Expose the role of the Pan
American Federation of Labor. (d)
Support the Pan-Pacific Trade Union
Conference.
This program in brief shows the
tasks that confront the labor move
ment and the burning necessity of
building powerful unions, left wing
and progressive groups as the only
effective means of putting this pro-
gram into practice, of taking the la
Dor movement out of the morass of
class collaboration, and turning it
into its proper channel of advancing
the interests of the workers through
the only means possible, that of
struggle.
TUEL Influence Grows.
The militants, because of their
struggles against corruption and for
a fighting union, have been subjected
to a bitter barrage by the entire la
Dor bureaucracy, whose slogan of
"peace in industry" at the expense
of the living standards of the work
ers, is gradually company-unioniz-
ing the trade union movement. How
ever, in spite of this attack, the in
fluence of the TUEL grows.
If a group has not yet been formed
in your union, we urge that you
take it upon yourself to Immediately
form one and lay plans for carry
ing out this program. The time is
now here when every militant must
assume responsibility for the or
ganizing of all progressive forces.
The present period of so-called pros
perity is drawing to a close. The
next year will see many struggles
against wage cuts and the lowering
of workers living standards. The
task of rejuvenating and injecting
a fighting spirit into the trade unions
is the task of the left wing, and the
task of the TUEL is to weld together
all the progressive trade union forces
upon general program of action
that will strengthen and build the
trade unions into real fighting or
gans of working class struggle.

The text of kilograms received
from George W. Hunt, the so-called
'liberal" governor of Arizona, and
from ]. j. Lowe, chief of police at
Nogales, Arizona, addressed to the
National Office of the Workers
(Communist) Party in reply to in
quiries as to the whereabouts of
Ben Gitlow, the Communist vice
presidential candidate, were given
to the Daily Worker yesterday.
"Why such an innocent face 2"
was the comment at the Communist
headquarters in regard to Governor
Hunts telegram. "Where was this
innocent liberal governor when
William O'Brien, the working class
candidate for governor, was thrown
into Jail for trying to conduct pub
lie meeting in the political campaign
against Hunt and Hunts capitalist
party? What was Hunt doing when

suggestions from the kidnappers
themselves that extreme violence
was to be the finish Of twas con-
cocted in this state with the city Of

Legion participating so openly as to
give advance accounts of the crime
to the newspapers? The ruling
class and liberal governor of Arr
IONA, the state in which the tradi-
ton of the infamous 'Bisbee depor-
tation' still furnishes the model for
action against the working class,
cannot be whitewashed so easily.
GAS for the chief of police of No
gales, the advance information given
out by the kidnapping gang which
was prematurely published in the
New York Tribune shows that the
plan included locking Gitlow up in
the Nogales Jail at one stage. This
is rather strong indication that
Lowe, as head of the police depart
ment, must have been considered by
the plCtters as an active figure in
the dirty crime they tried to carry
out"

Star, Oct. II:
plain Idiocy'
"Unless there was something
more to the arrest of VIM. O'Brien,
Communist candidate for governor,
at Phoenix Wednesday night than
indicated in the press dispatch from
the capital city, the police were
guilty of gross idiocy.
"O'Brien is the legally nominated
candidate of a legally organized
party with a column on the ballot.
He has as much right to present his
case to the people as have Governor
Hunt and Judge Phillips. He must
of course keep within the same
bounds as are required of his oppo-
nents, but the dispatch plainly states
that he had not spoken more than
twenty words when he was arrested.
In other words he was not arrested
for any offense against the law but
because the police did not approve
of his politics. Such practices are
vicious. If the police are to be priv
LEGGED to be the censors Of this cam
paign then republican chief might
arrest all democratic speakers or a
democrat chief arrest all repub-
licans.
"The Communist Party is admit

time for the police to act against
individuals is only when they actu-

Two Pictures from Soviet
Russia at the Cameo

THOSE serious Russian workers
have an excellent sense of humor.
Only Russians would think of Ak
hov and Makhov and good-looking
Dasha and a machine that not only
puts the capitalist out of business
but turns out laughs every second.
This enjoyable combination is at the
Cameo Theatre this week and it de-
serves to stay there for many weeks
to come.
"3 Comrades and l Invention" is
a good-natured, pleasing piece CT
movie. It's bit of the new, happy
Russia, where workers are building
new world and where they stop
on their job once in while to laugh
whole acknowledgement at their own
expense.
Akhov and Makhov work in soap
factory. They want to raise pro-
duction above pre-war level. They
also want to do away with the neces-
sity of buying boxes from bourge-
OILS contractor. So they invent a
machine that will raise production
and put the capitalist out of bust
ness. And what a machine that is,
my comrades. 1t will put you in
good humor for the next nine weeks.
1t produces laughs even faster than
it turns out boxes, for Akhov and
Makhov are the funniest pair of
Edisons you ever saw. And you
must see them.
Under all the good humor in this
comedy there is some good-natured
constructive kidding. For Akhov
and Makhov have their troubles.
Their comrades laugh at their in
vention instead of helping. A bour-
geois plant manager is plotting to
hold down production to help the
capitalists contractor and the COM
rades don't see it. The local Soviet
authorities are not sympathetic to
the fiew-fangled ideas of our in
ventors. SO Akhov and Makhoy
stubbornly and uproariously, have to
get all the way to the district of
fieials to prove they have a great
invention.
You'll like it all. You are sure to
like healthy, good-looking Dahsa
who is easy to like. Both Akho,
and Makhov like her very much
in fact that's where a lot of their
troubles originate. But SO does {
pompous little petty government of
ficial but she finally mops up the
floor with him. Our Dasha believes
in direct action. Ut seems the
Soviet movies don't mind giving the
workers a hint at what should b.
done with pompous petty officials
The whole picture is good, whole
hearted humor. The speed of it!
humor is not as explosive as il
American comedies, as for instance
in the great films of Charlie Chap
lin. The humor is not as sharp
But it is warm, and human ant
more comradely perhaps. 1t has ,
distinct quality you will have to Sc,
for yourself to fully appreciate.
