A Few Crimes of Mr.. Oneal.

After reading Oneals TRADE
against my book l opened his book,
"The Workers in American History"
at random to see if my critic is en-
tirely free of the errors and blunders.
And here is what / found:
On page 1853, Chapter X, embracing
the period of the most important and
most militant labor movement of
America, starting with 1858 and end
ing with 1883, he names "An Era of
Violence" Only a bourgeois intellec-
tual could dare to give such a name
to so important period.
In his discussion of Lincoln (pp.
1929 he says nothing of Lincoln's
expressions against interfering with
slavery where it existed, and leaves
the impression that the republican
party was the champion of the slaves.
On page 1870 Oneal deals with the
great railroad strike of 1877. During
that memorable strike in Pittsburgh
alone 26 workers were killed by the
government forces and employers.
even mention single case of the most
Our pioneer historian, Oneal, does not
bloody attacks upon the workers. He
does not utter a word about the
slaughter of the workers by the rul-
ing class in that strike.
His treatment of the Molly
Maguires Up. 1917 is drawn from pre-
JUDGED sources and joins hands with
the provocateurs against the miners.
He treats the Haymarket affair of
1886 in the same way. l think these
random examples suffice to indicate
that our eminent historian, Mr.. James
Oneal, himself has committed many
very serious crimes-much more SER

OUR FAR EASTERN ASSIGN

OUR FAR EASTERN ASSIGN
MENT. By Felix Morley. With
an introduction by Henry Morgen-
thau. Association Press, N. Y.
SIPS.
IT is only in the light of titanic
struggle like the one that is being
conducted by the workers and peas
ants of China that the shabby punt
ness of the liberal point of view be-
comes fully apparent.
When Felix Morley, young Ameri-
can newspaperman, despatched his
articles about the Far East to the
Bal ,imore Sun in 1926, his interpre-
tation seemed picayune enough. When
his liberal journalese articles are col
lected in book, read in the light of
the recent struggles of workers and
peasants thruout China, they appear
absurd.
For Morley, the Chinese situation
is essentially struggle between "cen-'
traliza ion and provincial rights; in
other words between two political
phrases picked up in a middle class
college. It's not (for Morley a strug-
gle between groups or classes OF peo-
pie with conflicting sets of interests.
Morley wrote his book in 1925 be-
fore the middle classes had complete
ly broken with The workers and peas
ants and turned against the national
list revolution. He therefore is tepid-
ly sympathetic, without, of course,
committing himself too definitely.
But there is one point on which Nor
ley is clear-with the deadly clearness
which liberals show in every revolu-
tionary situation-his hostility toward
the mass forces.
In discussing the Government Of
Kwantung Province in 1926, he lists
as it's major problems "the gradual
elimination of Russian influence" and
the control of he Committee in charge
of the anti-British boycott. In dis
cussing the boycott, he says:
"The second problem is govern
ment control of the Strike Commit
tee, in charge of the Hongkong
boycott. This commi tee operates
independently Of the Government.
LAS recently as June 81, 1926, five
Chinese seeking to travel from Cam
ton to Hongkong were shot dead by
these organized ruffians."
1t is academic, but interesting, to
speculate on Mr.. Morley's attitude to-
ward the wholesale shooting of thous-
ands of workers and peasants by Kuo-
mintang reactionaries that is now
going on in China.

Mr.. Calhoun On A. Bimba's Book.
My Dear James Oneal:
Are you game to publish this letter
in The New Leader?
l examined the manuscript of
Bimba's History of the American
Working Glass" and recommended its
publication. While / did not take time
to check up on details, was satisfied
with the evidences of exhaustive
study. l knew that the book was not
the last word on the subject; but /
was sure that it represented a great
advance.
l have just gone through the book
again, and in spite of your criticism,
am satisfied that the book does, in
the large, convey valid; instructive,
and impressive picture of the fortunes
of labor in the United States. To be
sure there are incidental flaws, as is
to be expected in so vast job, but l
doubt whether any of them are of a
sort to spoil the total picture in the
minds of the people for whom this
book is intended. University special
lists are to be sure, entitled to apply
their own standards.
My disappointment at your reac-
ton to Bimba's effort is the deeper
because of my memory Of my use of
your book as text in college classes
in the years before the war. In those
days, we could take mans contri-
button and use it gratefully, even tho
we might have picked flaws in it. 1t
is too bad that another spirit prevails
today.

MINOR MUSIC. By Henry Reich.
Jr. Parnassus. 81. Distributed by
Jimmie Higgins Bookshop.
From the many poems he has writ
ten, large number of which origin
ally appeared in The DAILY WORK
Err, Henry Reich, Jr., has selected 20
to compose 44-page large size blue
pamphlet with delicate gold lettering.
1t is the sort of artistic typograph-
ical work that the alleged "blue-
bloods" of the ladies' literary lotteries
calculate perfectly lovely's" over,
yet the table of contents lists the
poems under such classifications as
"Songs of People," "Songs of Earth"
and Songs of Protest"
If members of Browning Societies
are seduced by the Typography, they
will be truly in for few shocks.
Reich can write such potent qua
train on Wall Street as this:
Here empires rise and fall, here wars
are made
And in their chairs the bankers, gray
1
and staid
Here daily plan, as calmly as can be,
The destinies of man from ten to
three"
Some of Reich's songs of people
like Timothy O'Toole" and "Pious
John" have an ironic flavor like a
glass of bitters. And the "Tale of
Ye Dizzy Knight---A Ballad of Nom
Resistance" will make many of the
Theosophists and Quakers in the So
cialist party assume wry faces.
Reich made a very poor choice of
title for his pamphlet, however. The
songs of the underdog are never
minor music. Every rebel hymn, even
though it be crude and partially I'M
loaded, is major note. When you
pen sonnets to milady's poodle dog, no
matter how perfect your rhymes and
meters, you are twiddling minor
music. Chocolate eclairs, although
they be cooked to perfection, are not
the staples of life that beefsteak and
bread are.

Bankers and "Amateur" College Football

employment of thousands of workers,
mainly building trades workers. Need

The Bankers Graft.
At any rate the stadiums were
built.
Millions of people throughout the
country poured their dollars into the
college athletic cash box, or so they
thought, If they were at all concerned
about the matter.
The vast amounts of money taken
in did not go to the college players,
it is true, SO far as one can say.
Coaches and other hired help gel
their salaries. One might assume
that the money goes to more equip
ment and the drawing in of more
elements into athletics. To be &C.
curate, however, the bulk of the
money goes into the Golfers of bank
ers. Here's how.
Huge Sums Needed.

wolves large sums of ready money
Material, wages, etc. have to be PAID
for. A terrific financial responsibility
is put on the college or board IN
charge. The money for building is
obtained in the customary business
manner, through loans. The loans are
made from the bankers. What has
resulted?

By MARTIN ABERN

Capitalism turns, or tries to, all it
touches into cold cash. From So
called legitimate business and indus
try, from brothels or from pure"
amateur sports, the aim is money
profits. Employers are broad-minded:
they seek their profits without dis
elimination from all possible sources.
And now the bankers have laid their
hands on the cash boxes of the college
athletic departments. Amateurism
is once again defiled. But money
makes all things holy.
The Business of Sports Was Very
Good in 1927.
1927 saw the greatest crowds in
history in attendance at sport events
of every description. Indeed we have
mass movements toward football
fields, ball parks, boxing establish
ments, etc. In this sense we can say
that sports are a mass movement. But
of course, the real aim of sports, mass
participation and physical upbuilding,
is not realized under capitalist con-
ditions. The masses are but specta-
tors to events played by few skilled
ones and profited from financially by
even a smaller few.
The Big Fight.
Over a 100000 persons crashed
their way into the Soldiers Stadium in
Chicago to witness Jack Dempsey and
Tunney slap away at few rounds OF
boxing and like 100000 watched the
college football teams of Notre Dame
and Southern California muss each
other ''for the glory of God and col
lege," also at the Chicago stadium.
Attendance records were broken by
numerous colleges and universities, as
were also those of bicycle racing, box
ing, hockey, etc.
College Spirit Becomes Labor-Hunt-
ing, Ku Klux Spirit in Labor Struggle
Sports are pretty well commercial
lied and recognized so by more peo-
pie all the time. But college football
mas paraded always as a pure amateur
sport in which the players and the
student body are interested through
loyalty, enthusiasm and so on for
their Alma Mater. AS matter OF
fact, the enthusiasm, noise and rivalry
worked up by the colleges is only the
Rotarian, kiwanian and Ku Klux
Klan spirit spending itself harm
lessly. 1t is without intelligence and
real constructive aims. This same
loyalty and spirit" could just as
easily be worked up into fever for
mobbing and lynching of workers and
labor organizations which fight for
elementary rights of union organiza-
ton and better wages.
The Colorado Strike.
The Colorado Miners Strike now
going on against the Rockefeller cor
porations is a case in point. With q
few militant exceptions the student
elements are being lined up against
the fighting strikers. Some are scab-
bling al this very moment. This is the
common case in the United States
Very often the athlete is the leader OF
scabby and reactionary elements OF
the student body. . Il. 1t would be
interesting to point out how these
amateur athletes" live after leaving
college and what is the trend of "col-
lege spirit" but here we are con-
cerned with another angle-the prof
it's from college sports and who gets
them.
