(Coptinued.)

Within the democratic party, we
witness the same process going on.
Slowly but surely men like Bryan,
with his confused petty bourgeois
theories, McAdoo, the representative
of the big farming, cattle and wool
growing interests of the West,
representative also of the cotton
growing interests of the South, are
cast aside. The democratic party,
which has been historically the
party of the petty bourgeois, and
has catered more directly to this
class, is sloughing off this impedi-
menta and is demonstrating it's full
capacity to serve the industrial and
financial interests of the Northeast,
of Wall Street. In the words of
Wilson's platform, eve must now
remove, as far as possible, every re-
manning element of unrest and I'M
certainty from the path of the bust
ness men of America, and secure for
them a continued period Of quiet, as
sured and confident prosperity"
One might naturally ask, "Why
does the capitalist class maintain
two parties? Think of the expense,
inefficiency, wasted effort, con-
fusion, etc" Professor Arthur N.
Holcombe, in his book "The Polit-
ical Parties of Today" makes the
following enlightening reply, "That
system (the bipartisan system) has
certain incontestable advantages
along with it's obvious defects. 1t
diminishes the violence of social
strife arising out of all the various
conflicting interests of the people.
The very evasions Of conten-
tiods issues and concealments of
grounds for social friction, which so
many critics condemn, form a part,
and no small part, of the services
which the major parties render"
What is the future prospect for
the two party system? In the days
WHeH Tie Lat OICllS LlONSIlSuC was
at it's height, Mr.. Frank A. Munsey,
one of the leading spokesman Of the
republican party made the following
prediction: "In the early days of the
Republic they 1.-THE republican and
democratic parties) represented dis
tinct and positive ideas. But with
these great fundamental ideas con-
verted into history there are no
longer any big outstanding issues
between them that have any place
in our politics. There are, to be sure,
many small points on which the re-
publican and democratic parties diff
fer, today. 1t is their business to
differ, to create differences, to work
up issues, without which they would
cease to exist as political parties.
1t is the business of each party to
oppose and to fight the acts and
proposals of the other party. While
this political jockeying has been go
ing on since the great old issues dis

AIM TO UNIONIzE
N. Y. SHOE SHOPS
City-Wide Meeting to
Be Held Tonight

Mobilization of the shoe workers
Of Greater New York for the organ
ization of poorly unorg s,ized trade
and also for the support Z the strik-
ing workers in the Brooklyn shoe
plant of s. Liebermann Co., is the
program announced by the leaders
of the Independent Shoe Workers
Union. The first step toward this
will be tollight's city-wide meeting
of shoe workers at the union head
quarters, 81 E. 10th st.
The entire working crew of the
big Brooklyn factory are still SOL
idly out on strike, and the spirit
shown at their daily meetings DEM
onstrates their determination to
stay out until their demands are
met. The workers ask that their
general chairman be accorded i'm
mediate reinstatement, that the
union be recognized and that union
conditions be enforced. The dismiss
sal of the chairman for union &C
tivities was the original cause for
the walkout.
A meeting of all shoe workers
living in Coney Island was held by
the union yesterday in the Workers
House, Mermaid Ave. The workers
pledged their enthusiastic moral and
financial assistance to the strike.
At the meeting tonight General
Organizer Magliacano and the union
president will render reports on the
strike and on the general trade sit
uation. Plans for the organizations
drive will then be formulated.

of industry and finance. But the
capitalist class will not forego
lightly the advantages gained from
the bipartisan game of buncombe
Only under the threat of some rising
spectre which menaces its interests,
will it consolidate its forces for more
effective defense. Will that force
be party of farmers? That is I'M
likely. The present decentralization
of the agricultural elements, the La
Toilette defeat does not forecast a
very speedy recovery in that direc-
ton. The drift of population from
the farms to the cities particularly
in the South will tend to- weaken
them still more. The future
lies in the hands of the prole-
tariat, which has given numerous
recent proofs of it's fighting spirit
and militancy in the miners strug-
gle, the New Bedford strike, the
needle trades fight, etc, and a great
er resistance of the unofganized
workers. The close and open iden-
tity of the two major parties with
business has never been more evil
dent. The prospect of severe strug-
giles against capitalist rationaliza-
ton expressing itself in the form of
wage cuts, speed-up and union
smashing will be strong educative
force, in which the government will
again and again show the true char
acter of the major political parties,
and will bring to the fore emphatic
ally and forcefully to the workers
their interests as a class.
Never have the workers had bet
ter opportunity to see before them
the complete identity of the two
major parties with Big Business
The so-called new political align
ments of this or that magnate, the
superficial reasons given such as
prohibition" or personality" and
the equally hostile front of both par
ties to both labor and farmers, these
facts offer our party an unusual and
splendid opportunity to be the most
powerful factor in exposing the lie
behind the sham of the bipartisan
system.
On the basis offered by the pres
ent developments in American poll
tics, the Workers (Communist) Par
ty stands out clearly as the only
party which speaks for the workers.
The socialist, party with its appeal
to liberals and the petty bourgeoisie,
with its ignominous withdrawal
from the path of the class struggle,
has proven its utter bankruptcy and
futility as party of the working
class. The Workers (Communist)
Party in the 1928 election campaign
is the one party which clearly and
without reservations puts forth the
slogan of GLASS against class" and
rallies the workers to fight political
ly against their exploiters with the
same determination and solidarity
which they have so frequently dis
played in the struggle on the indus
trial field.

Workers Engaged in the fur manu-

Edward F. McGrady, A. F. of L.
agent in charge of the drive to de-
stroy unionism in the industry, had
been discovered by S. Bert, left wing
union manager, while he was plot
ting with the bosses in the office of
a leading manufacturer. Soon after
this followed an announcement from
the employers association that
they intended to sever relations
The reason for the attacks on the
local was its recent decision to join
with the New York union in their
drive to build real furriers' ma
tional organization.
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 10.-The
first attempt of the International to
launch struggle against the Bos-
ton Furriers' Local. which had
joined in the movement to build a
new union, failed miserably when
the workers carried thru a short
and victorious strike against firm
which decided to break off relations
with the local union
Strike Short But Effective.
Agents of the A. F. of L. came
into Boston last week and APP
preached one Of the larger employ
ers here with promises of permit
ting him open shop privileges if he
would join them in fighting the To-
cal. The employer, A. Rubin,
agreed. Then followed a declaration
to the union that the firm of Rubin
no longer considers it's contract with
them valid. This was followed up
by an immediate cututing of wages,
and frightening of hours.
The workers answered by a strike
that lasted no more than four hours
before it was won, along with
wage increase.

GROVE IN 9Th
and WIN So
Babe Brings Winning
Runs I'm With HON.
er in 9Th; Giants Slip
Into Second

Caught in q whitening barrage OF
Yankee hits, Connie Mack's p%ennant
aspirations, close to realization a few
short days ago, apparently are dying
a slow, painful death.
To the massed attack Of the Yam
KEGS, led by Babe Ruth. can be at
tributed TO the partial collapse Of the
tall tactitian's hopes for his first
pennant victory since 1914.
Mack saw Quinn and Walberg fail
to stop the champions on Sunday.
Yesterday he called up his last hope,
Robert Moses Grove, fastest left
handed pitcher in the majors, to save
something out Of the wreckage.
But Grove failed Just as he had
failed in five previous attempts TO
turn back Higgins maulers this sea-
son.. For eve innings he had the
Yankees waving futile bats as his
fast one whizzed up TO the plate.
Four hits and a single run represent
en- the sum total Of the champions
offensive at that time, and Grove
entered the last Of the eighth with
a 3 to / lead.
And then, Just as Lefty was ready
to record his fifteenth straight VIC
tory and his twenty-third Of the sea-
son, the blow fell. A pass. a single,
a wild throw by Dykes and a wild
pitch by Grove, himself, tied up the
game, with nobody out. Gehrig then
singled, bringing the Babe to the
plate. Grove elected TO pitch to him
for a pass would bring up Meusel,
who had welded a wicked war club
in the first two games of the series.
The Babe hunted the first pitch foul
and then took a called ball before
driving the third pitch into the right
field stands as $4,000 fans broke into
a delirious demonstration Of joy. The
Yanks won 5 to 3.
In the other American league en-
gagements, st. Louis beat Cleveland,
is TO 6, in a game which saw doubles
pounded out and Detroit defeated
Chicago. z to 6.
Taking their second double header
in as many days from the Boston
Braves. the New York Gients ousted
the Chicago Cubs from second place
in the National league race. The
scores were IL to s and z to s.
The st. Louis Cardinals retained
their two and a half game lead over
the field by trouncing Cincinnati. 6
TO 8. The Reds established a new
National league record for double
plays with It's.
Them Cubs cracked five Pittsburgh
hurlers for IL hits and romped away
with a Q 70 3 victory.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia again
divided n double-header. The Robins
took the first by 5 to +, but dropped
the second 4 to 3, when Fred Leach
dubbed the first offering of Dazzy
Vance, a relief pitcher, into the stands
for a homerun.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 12.-tFD-
Three convicts Of five who escaped
from the VIM state prison farm for
~tuberculars, two miles northwest OF
Huntsville, still had not been recap
tured early today.
Two Of the prisoners were retAxen
less than an hour after the break.
One was found on a main street ut
Huntsville, dressed in his prison uni
form, and the other was "treed" by
bloodhounds about a mile from the
farm.

forgery; Marvin Azebell, Haskell
county, five years, bigamy.
The convicts escaped by saving n
hole in the prison floor. Guards said
noise Of the saving was drowned BY
the singing. whistling and shouting
Of the prisoners. When a guard
asked why all the merriments he was
told: We've been telling jokes and
we're just happy"
Later, when the hole had been dis
covered, five prisoners had escaped.
All Of them could have fled had they
wished to, officials said, since all
were in one large room.
The break occurred about z p. m.
