By FRANK HENDERSON

The public schools have opened in
Belmont County-the county IN Ohio
where constitutional rights have
been scrapped and free speech pro-
hibited by Claw"
Not only in Belmont County have
the schools opened, but the entire
educational system of our "free
land" has been set in motion. After
nine months of patriotic and mill
tarist propaganda most of the stu
dents will be thoroughly saturated
with the 100 per cent bunkum, the
boss-controlled schools will make
them obedient, patriotic slaves, will
ing to do the bidding of the bosses
at any sacrifice.
In Belmont County, George V.
Waddell, the prosecuting attorney,
stated publicly that constitutional
rights are things learned in school
and should be forgotten later.
What happened in Belmont County
during vacation" which prompted
this frank declaration by the prose-
cutor?
American Democracy.
During the miners strike the coal
diggers, especially in Belmont
County, often tasted the bitterness
of American democracy. Time and
again the miners have felt the sting
Of capitalist justice.
The struggles of the rank and
file miners have been marked by
murders and sluggings by the
treacherous Lewis machine, coupled
with severe sentences and penalties
by the coal-capitalists' courts. Many
sections of the strike area have wit,
messed and suffered from Lewis

Defender of Racial Integrity"

Governor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia has
denied pardon to Mary Hall, white wom-
an convicted of violating a law for racial
integrity" when she married a Negro, Mott
Wood. The woman was convicted for violat-
ing the law which prohibits the intermar-
rage of races and sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary. In denying the pardon,
Governor Byrd said
"The necessity for racial integrity is so i'm
portant that after mature consideration find
myself unable to act favorably this appi-
cation, notwithstanding the fact that it is
dorsed by the trial officials and other per-
sons
Were the case not so tragic an example of
white chauvinism, it would be exceedingly
comcal coming from the south, where the
favorite pastime of the male white aristocra-
cy is deHauching the young daughters of the
Negro workers and farmers. And where
many of the elegant ladies, wives of the
eminences of old Virginia, have their favor
ties among the male Negroes of their neigh
borhoods with whom they have clandestine
meetings. The poor, exploited and terrorized
Negroes dare not refuse advances from such
women, yet they know full well that if by
chance they are caught in compromising cir
cumstances they are charged with assaulting
the woman and usually lynched by the up
holders of racial integrity as a measure for
the preservation of the purity" of bourgeois
womanhood among the best people of the
south.
1t is high time that the Negroes of the
south as well as those who have been herded
into the industrial north abandon the old
parties of capitaism-the democratic and
republican parties-and rally to the suppGEt
of the one party that stands for full .yeal
Party.

he sufficiently got insulated as well
as insulted he began to write letters
to the capitalist press, who stood UP
for private ownership of water
power, praising them for their pa
triotic services.

By GEORGE PADMORE.

THE Workers (Communist) Party
of America is a section of a great
international working class move
ment, which embraces in it's ranks
the oppressed and exploited work
ers of all nations, countries and
races-whites, Negroes, Chinese, In
dians, etc.
Communism knows no color line.
1t is the bitter foe of race preju-
dice, which is fostered by the CAPT
talist class in order to keep the
white and Negro workers apart, so
as to be able to exploit both groups
alike Communists therefore advo-
cate the doctrine of racial equality,
and fight militantly for the full So
cial, political and economic rights Of
all races and peoples, irrespective of
the colors of their skins.
Wherever capitalism exists, race
prejudice is the order of the day.
In America, the ruling class-the
Rockefellers, Morgans, Fords, Mel
Ions, Coolidges, Hoovers, and the Al
Smiths-give their sanction to this
disgraceful practice and permit it
to exist because it enables them to
play one group against the other
thereby distracting the minds of the
workers from their horrible condi-
tions.
The same method of "divide and
rule" is adopted by the British i'm
perialists in India and other colonial
possessions. In the east the British
overlords play the India workers
against the Mohammedans and
thereby keep them divided and weak.
In the West Indies and Africa the
imperialists create a mulatto caste
and use this as a buffer class tc
keep the large masses fighting
among themselves, while the mas
tiers rob them of their lands and
exploit their labor power. There is
only one way of abolishing race
prejudice and that is by abolishing
capitalism, which creates and fos-
tiers this social disease. Both the
white and colored workers must get
wise to these tricks of the master
class and unite to defeat their OPP
pressors. The sooner workers re-
alize that their common interest lies
in uniting into a powerful labor
movement, under the revolutionary
leadership of the Communist Party,
the sooner will they be able to eman-

of bayonets into the ST. Clairsville
Jail, with the aid of Sheriff Har-
desty-renowned for his strike
breaking activities. Among the
fifty-one arrested were women near
ing motherhood, others nursing ba-
bies and several young girls. They
were all packed into dirty, crowded
cells and forced to sleep on hard,
steel floors.
Democracy, in the form Of coal
operators dictatorship, existed in
Belmont County. During vacation
the miners children got a lesson in
democracy and American freedom.
Break Up Meetings.
Meetings of progressive miners
all over the county were broken up
by the police, acting on instructions
from the sub-district officials-co-
horts of John l.. Lewis. Militant
leaders were waylaid and beaten by
Lewis gangsters. Authorities worked
hand in hand with the Lewis ma
chine against the rank and file coal
diggers. Courts-places of Justice
excused Lewis men, but passed
severe sentences and penalties on
progressive miners. Freedom of
assemblage and freedom" of speech
was prohibited by threats of vio-
lence from patriotic organizations
and police orders. This happened to
the fathers of miners children, in
spite of the things taught in schools.

Told You So

JOHN sPARGo, the ex-parson who
was once a dim light in the So
clalist party is now a voluntary"
publicity man for the power trust.
John himself admits that he does
not get nickel for it. John says
that everybody with any sense
ought to change his mind frequently
to keep his head in trim. Before the
war John believed that capitalism
was a wicked institution and should
be substituted by a social order, in
which the preacher would receive
the full social value of his hocus
pocus. But now John believes that
the preacher should get paid.

triotic services.
MOT CONTENT with doing the
AZ right thing by the power mag
mates, John thot it was time to saw
a good word for Americas docile
labor leaders. The New York
Times had an editorial praising the
British labor takers for accepting
the Mond scheme of class collabora-
ton. Somehow or other it never
occurred to the editorial writer to
say, "Of course our own labor lead
ers have set an example in the
virtue of class peace and co-opera-
ton between employers and en-
ployes, which is now being accepted
by the labor movement of the rest
of the world excepting Soviet Rus

to break into print again. From his
home in Old Bennington, Vermont,
which he owes to the generosity Of .
a socialist woman, who presented
him with the domicile in order that
he might be able to serve the cause
without having to worry about pay
ing rent, the renegade praised the
constructive character" of the
American labor leadership for their
policy of Transforming the trade
unions from instruments of struggle
against the employing classes into
unofficial company unions. This
fellows record outsmells the Queens
sewer scandal.
ANYBODY who knows the situation
"A in Wisconsin will Immediately
see the joke in this boast. 1t is I'M
necessary to comment on the char
acter of an alleged disciple of Marx
who would vote for capitalist
party, but the fact is that the La
Toilette machine has been the chief
competitor of the House of Berger
for many years and in order to
justify his political existence Berger
had to pose as a socialist and make
wry faces at the capitalist system,
while slamming the revolutionists.
Now Berger is losing out. There is
no longer any fundamental differ
ence between the program of the
socialist party and the LaFollette-
AL Smith platitudes on the rights
of the people" so they are deserving
the House of Berger for the older
and more respectable House of La
Toilette. More later on about Wis

party claimed for itself in 1924

NO EXCUSE FOR
BAD MEAT, SAYS
SALES MANAGER
Fditor pougIag pispatch:

Editor Douglas Dispatch:
Dear Sir:
We have just read with considerable
interest an article in your paper re-
garding the two diseased hind quar-
tiers of beef found in an alley appar-
emily thrown out by restaurant
keeper who found the meat unfit for
human consumption, and we naturally
wonder through what source the two
forequarters were disposed of.
Evidently the people of Douglas are
still being imposed upon by unscrup-
uIous meat dealers who disregard all
rules Of health and sanitation in pre-
pairing meat for your citizens, un-
fortunately meat is product that the
average laynan can hardly distin-
guish the unhealthy from the healthy
and should use every precaution in
buying it.
Conditions similar to what seems to
be prevalent in Douglas at the present
time were general in the United States
until about Is years ago when the
government realizing something must
be done for the protection of the pub
lie from unhealthy meats enacted laws
providing for the inspection of meat
and meat products under the super
vision of the department of agriculture.
Rigid sanitary laws are prescribed for
antimortem ana postmortem examina-
ton of all livestock and dressed beef.
This work is handled by men espec-
tally trained in detecting the slightest
trace of disease and especially tuber-
culosis These men must be graduates
of veterinary colleges.
When meat and meat products COM
ply with every test known to modern
science and is found healthful and
wholesome. these inspectors place their
stamp of approval on each wholesale
cut of fresh meat and domestic meat
labels are affixed to all packages con-
tanning meat products. Any unhealthy,
unwholesome meat found is immedi-
ately condemned by the inspectors and
destroyed through fertilizer tanks.
The entire expense of federal meat
inspection is paid by the national gov
ernment and no part Of that expense
is charged to the consumer through
the sale of the meat or meat food prod
ucts. The army and navy department,
also veterans bureau hospitals, will not
accept bids from packing houses not
operating under the supervision of the
department of agriculture. Your SOL
diers situated at Douglas are protect
ed in this manner against the eating
of unhealthy meats
Meat is one of the important foods
of the American people today and
there is no excuse for their being sub
jected to the risk of endangering their
health by eating meats of unknown
origin, in many cases diseased, when
healthy meats complying with the
governments regulations can be had
at no additional expense In innum-

erable cases it is very hard for trained
inspectors to detect diseased meat with
the naked eye. They examine each
part of each animal with the utmost
care and in the case of a reasonable
doubt, the public is given the benefit
and that meat is kept from the mar
kets. When their stamp is seen on
the meat, the public welfare is pro-
tected to the fullest extent.
The government has done all in its
power to assure the people of the
United States healthy foods. 1t is now
up to the public to take advantage of
it and there is no reason why the peo-
pie Of Douglas should eat unhealthy
meats when they can get the govern
ment's protection by simply demanding
and seeing the u. S. inspection stamp
on the meat they buy.
Yours very truly,
