Appropriate Concentration of
Hamilton

1t is eninently fitting that the republican
politicians as well as the democratic patriots
should pay homage to Alexander Hamilton
on the opening day of Constitution week"
Last Sunday the managers of Hoover's cam
paign placed wreaths on the tomb of Hamil-
ton in Trinity churchyard
The political puppets of the most malig-
nant reactionary force in the whole world
American mperialism-tribute to the man
who was the very incarnation of the counter
revolution that took place in the United
States after the first war against England
The adoption of the constitution by a
secret, illegal conspiracy of business men and
its imposition upon the colonies by organized
terrorism, with Hamilton leading the re-
dictionary forces against the ideals expressed
in the Declaration of Independence, penned
by the avowed Jacobin, Thomas Jefferson
signazed the definite consolidation Of the
forces of reaction
Both democrats and republicans sing peans
to Hamilton. The reactipnaries of today pay
homage to their prototype of yesterday.

1t was Mr.. Eagan, by the way,
who had recently gotten in touch
with the police commissioners of
all the cities in Connecticut, advis-
ing them to the effect that the min
ers' relief committee, as also the
textile relief committee, are not
bona fide. That they are rather
"the doings of those dirty bulshe-
vics," and that no permits for tag

There were speeches rendered by

tiers containing campaign fund con-
tributions: Enclosed please find one
dollar as my donation to the Com
munist Campaign Fund. Knowing
that capitalism is decaying and the
revolutionary proletariat arising, l
remain,
Your for Communism,
THOMAS TUOLO.
Enclosed please find two dollar
bills, one from me and the other
from my friend John Chanas, for
carrying on the election campaign as

work. We workers have to do it
alone, although our contribution is
small because we have to work for
very small weekly wages as / am
sorry that we can't do better.
And a surprise for big Bill the
Builder" mayor of Chicago. One of
the employees in city hall sends a
check for $500 to the Communist
Campaign Fund. No doubt if Big
Bill knew his name he would be fired
quicker than a police chief who did
not know how to shake down the
bootleggers.
So much for money. AS you al
ready know, the Communist ticket
is on the ballot in Texas tho the as
sistant secretary of state is kicking
and threatening to throw it off. The
candidate of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party for acknowledgement
is Comrade j. L. Swan, an eighty
year-old veteran of the class strug-
gle. He was active in the Populist

ney-McCumber tariff bill as beneficial to
labor.
Like his rival old party candidate, the
democratic party nominee, Al. Smith, the re-
publican nominee was forced to pay tribute
to the militant fight of the left wing of the
labor movement against the use of injunc-
tons by declaring that "it is necessary to
impose restrictions on the excessive use of
injunctions But like Smith, he is careful
not to urge the abolition of injunctions
against labor. So widespread has been the
defiance of injunctions against labor that
the capitalist politicians have been forced to
mention these attacks against the very exist
ence of the trade union movement. But both
Hoover and Smith, while pretending to OPP
pose what they call the abuse Of the injunc-
tive power, are in reality trying to save the
injunction and the injunction judges from
the wholesale contempt of the working class
Smith by speaking favorably of ''neces-
sary' injunctions and Hoover against their
excessive" use. Obviously they become
necessary to Smith and his sponsors, the
Raskobs of General Motors and the Owen
D. Youngs of the scab-herding, strike-break-
ing General Electric, when the workers are
likely to defeat the capitalists AS to Hoover,
it is certain such iniunctions as that issued
against the miners of Pennsylvania by re-
publican lackey of the Mellon interests Judge
Shoemaker would not be viewed as ex-
cessive.
In his Newark speech Hoover only dealt
indirectly with the international situation;
citing imports and exports and referring to
the worlds trade only as it was alleged to
affect national economy. Boosting of the
enormous exports of commodities and gold,
and referring to the supreme position of the
United States, Hoover was indeed the very
personification of arrogant, vicious imperial
ism. Like all of his class, like all the ruling
classes that have held sway in all the history
of slavery, Hoover imagines the supremacy
of his class will last forever He does not
appear to perceive that the continual
strengthening of the position of American
imperialism at the expense of the other i'm
perialist powers especially England and
Japan, contains the germs of another world
war. And even though he could perceive
this fact he would not dare mention it in his
campaign speeches for the simple reason
that as long as capitalism exists there will
be a continuous state of war or preparations
for war-all periods of peace are but armed
truces
Only the party of the working class, the
party of the proletarian revolution, the
Workers Communist Party, has pro-
gram that will solve the problems facing the
working class of the country. Only our can
didates stand on a platform that meets the
issues of unemployment, the use Of injunc-
tions and other means of oppression against
labor. Not one other party aside from the
Workers (COnnnuniSt) Party has nroovar,,
of social legislation that takes up the ques-
ton of the condition of the working men,
women and children. And the one Party
that faces the issue of the danger of an
other world war and offers the only con-
ceivable solution-the revolutionary solution
is the Workers (Communist) Party
