Mass Arrests in Washington

The arrests and sentencing at Washington,
D. c., of group of picketers demanding the
release of John Porter, New Bedford strike
leader who was rairoaded to jail by the
United States military authorities on the
charge of being an army deserter was piece
of plain class vengeance. The paltry NUM-
cipal judge who heard the cases of the men,
women and youth representing the Workers
(Communist) Party, the Young Workers
League, the Anti-Imperialist League and the
international Labor Defense, sentenced them
to pay fines varying from $50 or 80 days in
jail to 500 or so days in jail, on the charge
of parading without permit from the police
department.
1t is, of course, ridiculous for worker to
imagine for q moment that the capitalist
class has any regard for the enforcement of
it's own laws if such enforcement might in
convenience them. Picketing is one thing and
a parade another. But when the ruling class
wants to jail members of the working class
they can invoke any law they want, or
simply Jail dissenters on general principles
without any so-called sanction of law.
The victims of this mass failing in Wash
ington are serving the best interests of the
working class by defiantly exposing the
whole class character of the proceedings and
denouncing the judge as an agent of the war
mongers at Washington who gave orders to
stop the anti-war demonstration and as an
answer to the demand for the release of
Porter, whose crime was that he fought for
the strikers instead of becoming a scab-
herder of a scab.
A particularly good example for all our
class was the defiant conduct of one of the
picketers, Carl jones, Negro, who exposed
the fact that the police even tried to Jim
Crow him in the Jail. Only an uproar by his
white comrades compelled the contemplate
white bureaucrats to restore Jones to the side
of his fellow prisoners.
The reply to the Washington jailings is a
repetition of the picketing of the department
of state, the war and navy buildings in order
further to expose the plots of the imperialist
government at Washington. Appearances of
militant workers in court should always be
the occasion for an attack upon the class
character of such courts in order that the
workers may come to hold them in contempt.

This talk of furnishing supplies" has an
ominous tone. There is striking similarity
between this phrase of Coolidge and the name
of the fascist organization of Britain that
arose on the eve of the great general strike
the Order for Maintenance of Supplies"
The parallel will go much farther here. With
the placing of the country upon war basis,
the semi-official bands of terrorists of the
type of the ku klux khan and American legion
will get into action in order to supplement
the apparatus of the state in suppressing
workers organizations in preparation for in
dustrial CONSUMPTION.
Such organizations, secretly approved and
sponsored by the government, serve also to
conceal from the masses the real class char
acter of the state thereby perpetuating the
illusion of capitalist class democracy.
While the capitalist butchers are prepar-
ing for the systematic slaughter of countless
millions Of workers, it is imperative that the
working class also prepare to combat the war
mongers in a revolutionary way. Under the
leadership of the vanguard of the working
class the Communists, the masses of I'M
organized workers in the great basic in
dustries of the country-the war industries
must be organized; the predatory and
murderous role of the imperialist ruling class
must be relentlessly exposed; determined
revolutionary propaganda must be carried on
amongst the armed forces of the country.
Only the working class can make futile the
ambitious war program of Yankee i'm
perialism, recently formulated in the most
brazen and in the sharpest manner by the
spokesman of the ruling class.

Women Must Fight War Plans

ling the trade unions, perfecting it's
machinery of terror, preparing the
appropriate psychology in the mas
ses, will not the attempt to organize
passive resistance be doomed to
failure? And even if we were to
succeed by this method in forcing
pause for the moment, matters
could not rest there. The war will
have become a historical necessity
for the capitalists: there will be no
third alternative to the prosecution
of the imperialist war or the grasp

being prepared for the militariza-
ton of industry, by strict regimen

to prevent, destroy or corrupt trade

all this for nothing? /
In War Industries.
Working women least of all should
be blind to it's meaning; for IN the
first place they have been drawn
in great numbers of recent years
into the very industries which will
first and foremost be modified for
war purposes; and in the second
place the deadly operations OF the
newer methods of warfare will be
carried out not merely upon the sea
and the battlefield, but upon their
homes and children, and the factories
where they work.
But what then is the meaning OF
the League of Nations, the Prepar-
atory Disarmament Commission, the
Kellogg Pact, and all the declarations
bv imperialist statesmen in favor OF
world peace? In one aspect they
are the hypocritical mask behind
which the war plans go forward; IN
another they are actually part OF
the intrigues by which the various
powers and groups are endeavoring
to secure the most advantageous
position in the coming war. How
far they are from endeavors for
peace is proved by the rejection OF
the proposals of the Soviet govern
ment for complete disarmament; the
sharp objection of the governments
of the U. S. and Italy to the Anglo
French naval agreement; and by the
| last Assembly of the League of Ma
tons, which left the long-talked-of
disarmament conference farther
away than ever. il
Beware of Reformists!
But surely they will not attack
the very state which has renowned

answer is that the U. S. S. R. is

has the British government broken
with Russia, although this involves
the loss of millions of pounds worth
of trade to British manufacturers !?

been forbidden to conclude pacts

Dor? What is the meaning of air
bases in northwestern India?
But at least the socialist and la
Dor leaders will marshall the work
ers to prevent this crime? Let
any working woman examine the
past and present action of these
leaders: let her carefully read the
manifesto of the recent congress of
the II. International, and say
whether they are not the most val
liable assistants of the war-makers,
either by indentifying themselves
with the designs of their imperialist
masters, or by the preaching of paci-
fism, which units the workers to
resist.

USSR EXPLORERS IN

a result of four months of constant
work the expedition very carefully
explored and studied the so-called

thirty new big glaciers with gen.

IN face of the growing threat of
imperiaIist war, the greatest
danger for working women lies in
the feeling which is so strong among
them that a repetition of the hor-
ror of 1914-18 is impossible. 1t was
so terrible, they think, so much
more CHASTITY and devastating than
any but a few realized that it would
be, that no government would now
dare to plunge into a similar
carnage, nor would the peoples al
low themselves to be driven into it.
This is a perilous illusion, which
must at all costs be dispelled by the
Communist parties. Those who
prepared the last war with their
ententes and alliances, their secret
treaties, their piling up of arma-
ments, their carefully fostered mis-
trust between the proletariats) were
precisely among those who best I'M
derstood the colossal wreckage and
devastation that such a war would
bring. And they proceeded deliber-
ately. Why? Because war was the
only hope of solution under capital
ism Tor their antagonisms, the only
means of gratifying their mutual
rapacious desires for new markets,
new sources of raw materials and
cheap labor, new spheres of invest
ment.
The Facts.
These antagonisms have not been
resolved. New and more powerful
groupings have arisen. The secur-
ing by the victors of new spheres
of exploitation at the expense of
their vanquished rivals, and of the
defenseless colored peoples, has on
ly intensified the enmity between
them. And above all, the emergence
of the first working class state, the
u. S. S. R., constitutes such chal-
lenge to the criminal rule of the
whole crowd of imperialist robbers,
that they cannot afford to tolerate
it's existence.
Does any working woman think
this is merely an alarmist view?
What are the facts?
The powers are spending more
upon ornaments at present than in
1913. Reorganization of armies
and navies in the direction of greater
efficiency, and the building Of all
fleets, are proceeding rapidly. Chem
ical warfare introduced as an ele-
ment of surprise during the last
wary is being Systematically studied
with view to wholesale use in the
next. The development is being en-
couraged, and even participated ir
by the capitalist governments, Of
such industries as are readily con.
vertible to the production of letha

Other Traitors.
Tom l.. Lewis, who succeeded Nit
chell as president, was guilty Of
various acts of treachery to the
miners. He was a typical "labor
lieutenant" and "red" fight r. He
was driven out in 1914, and imme-
diately became secretary Of the New
River Coal Operators Association in
West Virginia. This organization is
one Of the bitterest enemies Of the
union in the West Virginia district,
where the attempt to maintain
union has been made under almost
civil war conditions. Working in this
treachery with Lewis is e. G.. Nc
Cullough, formerly vice-president of
the U. M. w. A.
John P. White, successor Of T. L.
Lewis, was typical reactionary. He
lined up with the Kansas operators
to crush Howat and committed many
corrupt acts. He retired to a por
litical position during the war. Then
he became interested in the Haynes
Powder Co. For time he worked
for the operators in the Kansas and
Arkansas districts. Now he is an
"agreed-upon" representative of the
workers and bosses in District 10,
one of the worst "open shop" terri
tories.
M. D. Ratchford, president before
Mitchell, when defeated was made
commissioner for the coal opera
tors in Illinois.
From Socialists to Republican.
Francis Feehan, a one-time radi-
cal, was candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania on the Socialist Labor
Party ticket in 1902. He defeated
the notorious labor crook, Pat Dolan,
president of the vital Pittsburgh dis
trict in the union elections, but soon
became friend of the operators
and was thoroughly corrupted. FL
nally he degenerated into republic
can politician, and supported Hughes
for the presidency in 1916. He was
forced out of the union and is now
well-paid official in the Bureau
Of Mines.
Dean Haggerty, in collision with
the mine operators, ordered Cabin
Creek, w. Va, miners back to work
during the heat of bitter struggle,
and when they refused he cut off
their strike relief. Haggerty later
became a coal operator in this bloody
battle-ground of labor. He was for
merely prominent U. M. w. A. Of

Misleaders in

Labor Unions
(From "Misleaders of Labor" by
William 2. Foster.)

(frOm MlSleaQerS OF GaDOr, Wy
William 2. Foster.)
MITCHELL, real Compensate, de-
AVA Tended capitalism in general and
protected the interests of the mine
owners in particular. Many acts OF
betrayal stand to his discrcdit. In
1902, he prevented the bi.umincns
miners from striking with the an
thracite miners, to the great harm
of both groups and of the union as
whole. In 1903, during the bitter
Colorado strike, when victory was in
sight, he forced the miners In the
north back to work, leaving those
| in the south to be starved into sub
mission, a betrayal from which the
district did not recover for many
years. In 1904, in spite Of q solid
vote of the union against wage cuts
and for strike, he conspired secret
ly with the employers and finally
accepted for the union the wage re-
duction the employers wanted. In
all these maneuvers the priest-like
looking Mitchell had the support Of
the U. M. w. A. secretary, w. B.
Wilson, who has since become q big
democratic politician.
Mitchell was fawned upon and flat
tered by the capitalists. Says Lin
coin 6teffens of him, ("World's
Work." August, 19o2.):
when Mitchell came to New
York In 1900, to see ]. P. Morgan,
the financial head of the coal
business, he was not received. This
year an associate Of Mr.. Morgan's
happened to meet him socially,
and when he reported what man
ner of labor leader Mitchell was,
Mr.. Morgan received him at his
downtown office"
Then followed banquets and close
social relations with great capitalists
and politicians, Carnegie, Hanna,
Belmont, Robbins, etc. At famous
Pittsburgh supper with coal opera
tors Mitchell was presented with a
diamond badge" as token of their
esteem. He became lealing figure
in the National Civic Federation and
warm friend of President Roose-
welt.
These things aroused the then
powerful socialists in opposition.
They forced Mitchell first to quit
the Civic Federation and eventually
to get out of his union office.
After holding important political
posts during the war, Mitchell died
in 1919, capitalist and an officer
of the government. His wealth, ex-
