sees, or pretends to see, no violation
Of the constitution when southern
state officers refuse to register Negro
citizens as voters. His technical ar
gument is this: That the state laws
of the south do not direct the officers
to refuse Negroes and that the re-
fusal is the act of the individual Of
ficers. Boryh, "a great statesman"
does not know, or pretends not to
know, that the administration of laws
by state officials is as much an act
of the state as the making Of laws by
the states legislature.
The argument of Bruce, of Mary
land, is much simpler: If we let you
southerners get away with stealing
the Negroes vote, why can't you re-
ciprocate by letting us whiskey fell
lows get around the 18th Amend
ment? Such an appeal is an appeal
to the "honor Of thieves"
Then Swanson, supported by Glass,
of Virginia, processes to believe that
the mere passing of the 18th Amend
ment, which sought to make it plainly
unlawful to disfranchise people on ac-
count of race or color, "repeals" Sec
ton of the 18th Amendment, which
calls for reduction of a states repre-
sentation in proportion to such unlaw-
full disfranchisement. It is a mere
bubble to say that the 18th Amend
ment "repeals" anything, when the
sole object Of the 18th was to support

NegroV otesand the Senate

| EFT no American be fooled by that
= little tilt among the senators con-
corning Negro votes and prohibition.
Neither Swanson and Glass, of Vir-
ginia; nor Bruce, Of Maryland; nor
Borah, of Idaho, had any interest in
defending the right Of American Ne
groes to vote. They were all inter-
ested in the rights of whiskey, and
Senator Bruce, who wants his drinks,
dragged in the Negro question for
spite. Borah is sincerely against
liquor, but by feeling it eternally nec-
essary to "stay friends" with the
southern prohibitionists, he finds him
self continually trying to uphold one
part of the constitution, the 18th
Amendment, while encouraging the
violation and evasion Of other parts,
the 14th and 18th Amendments. Per-
haps he feels that in order to stand
with the south (or to keep them
standing with him) on the liquor ques-
ton, he must stand with them on the
Negro question; for the southerners
would disagree with Jesus Christ on
the subject of paradise if he dis
agreed with them on the subject of
the Negro. Therefore Borah finds
himself playing on the Negro ques-
ton the same ignoble role that Daniel
Webster played on the question of
fugitive slave laws.
Borah is wrong on the rights Of Ne
groes and promises to stay wrong; he

Mine Strike

Good God! Must I now meekly bend
my head
And cringe back to that gloom I
know so well?
Forget the wrongs my tongue may
never tell,
Forget the plea they silenced with
their lead,
Forget the hillside strewm with muir
dered dead,
Where once they drove me-mocked
me when l fell
All black and bloody by their holes
of hell,
While all my loved ones wept uncom-
forted?
1t is the land my fathers fought to
Here where they curse me-beaten
and alone?
But God, it's cold! Ny children
sob and cry,
Shall ] go back into the mines and
wait,
And lash the conflagration Of my
Or shall I stand and fight them till
I die!

very thing that the farmer-laborites
are most anxious to achieve and which
will best serve the interests of the
workers. At least this can be stated
that if the rank and file farmer
laborites recognize the best way to
serve their party and the interests of
the workers and farmers, they will
get a good line on what will benefit
the workers and farmers by going
contrary to the advice of Mr.. Cheney,
or any other of the political writers
in the capitalist press-Tribune,
journal or Star.
A Crying Need.
The crying need in Minnesota to-
day is an intensive drive to build and
reinforce the Farmer-Labor Associa-
ton of Minnesota to such an extent
that the policies and programs of the
association will dominate the situation
in Minnesota politics and will compel
the adherence and recognition of all
candidates to the party platform, no
matter what prominence they may
have achieved thru the votes of the
workers and farmers of this state.
The significant thing about the la
Dor conferences held this week end
was the demand for immediate action
to build the party; the appointment
OF committees of action representing
all sections of the labor movement in
the conferences of Saturday and Mon
day night to point to the determine
ton of the workers in the Twin Cities
to do their share to reinforce and build
the movement and to carry it to VIC
tory in the coming campaigns. The
266,00O votes cast for the farmer
labor ticket in 1926 Gan off -year) will
be cast again this year, together with
approximately an additional 100000
to 10000. In fact, it is not beyond
the possibilities of practical politics
that with strongly organized ceLa-
paign, directed by the party under
the leadership the party authority and
regular party committees, that the
farmer-labor party of Minnesota. in
the fall of 1928, may register VIC
tory and elect the major part of it's
slate to office turnout the entire state.
Outline Plans.
These are the plans of the progress
sive elements within the farmer-labor
movement and it is significant, at a
time when the movement is awaken
ing again to action, that those who
for years have been fighting most
vigorously the promotion of an indie

Goodrich. Marshall Jones Co. So.
THE machine has become a substi-
tute for Destiny" The ancient
tragical notions clustering around the
idea of "Fate" are now shifted to the
machine. Life becomes incidental to
the gigantic process of production.
Human values melt away before the
whirling, grinding approach OF this
squealing monster, reducing life to q
series of motions at one end, measur-
ing it's value in piles of production
on the other.
Carter Goodrich sees this grim
monster invading the mines. Under
the earth's surface, this Freedom"
kept up sardonic survival. (Obvi-
ously there was no place for it in the,
suni) But now the horrors of the 4
factory track Freedom" down to its
last hiding place. The miners pick
will become tooth in cutting chain.
His easy manipulations give way to
the charted movements of efficient
guidance. His "gob-pile democracy"
his jovial chewing of tobacco, his
smoking and quitting when he is tired,
will fade away before batallions of
time-clocks, conveyors, cutting ma
chimes, and morose experts who win
try to stabilize" the industry by
burying the land under mountain
of undemanded coal!
What will the miner do about it
This is the question raised by the
author. "Will new indiscipline re-
place the old?", he asks. Cor will
the mine become a coal factory, and
production be standardized?
He instances cases where miners
actually dynamited machines that
took away their freedom on the job"
But this is hardly solution. On the
ether hand the mechanization of mines
may give certain operators an adj
vantage in the market. But the ten
dency will be, as the author himself
indicates, to intensity an already bad
situation. Evidently machinery can,
aside from undermining methods Of
production. become nuisance.
It is self-cvident that to this time
machinery has merely served to ex-
plot the worker without rewarding
him for his extra loss a fsweat. One
tenth of the miners now employed
could, with mechanical methods, sup
ply this country with the necessary
fuel. What then, would happen to
the rest? For this problem society
offers at present no solution. Every
industry is overcrowded; every mar
ket is glutted with products; our sys-
TEN is in a bad slump.
The miners tragedy is an incident
in the class struggle. Their "free-
dom" about to disappear, what is go
ing to happen? Miners are grim
fighters. They are deeply mine-con-
scious. and will struggle to main
tain their traditions. When at last
the squeal of the machine will replace
the curse of the miner, he will have
to meet the Issue on class basis.
For the miners fight is the fight Of
the whole working class. His free
dem"-such as it has been-is insig-
nificant compared even with the free
dom of miner in Soviet Russia to-
day. But even this bone is to be taken
from him! So much sooner then will
the miner know where he belongs in
the social scheme. So much sooner
will he realize that his fight is one
with the toilers the world over. What
he will then do will be his answer to
the questions daintily propounded by
Carter Goodrich in this book.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. O.
Two significant meetings of support
ars of the farmer-labor movement in
Minnesota were held here recently.
One was on January 20, when we'll
attended meeting of Ramsey County
farmer-laborites was held in the st.
Paul Labor Temple to nominate can
didates for the oncoming city cleo
tons. The other was on Monday,
January 80, when conference of all
.armer-labor elements, particularly
the trade union section in Hennepin
County was held at labor headquar-
ters, Minneapolis. At this meeting
it was announced that the nominating
convention for the state Of Minnesota
will convene on March goth. It is
also rumored that at the close of the
state convention, progressives and
farmer-laborites of the northwestern
states will gather to discuss the adj
visibility of launching national
ticket.
In both meetings the need for in
tensive work to build up and strength
en- the farmer-labor movement in Min
nesota was stressed, altho it is ap-
parent that certain elements asso-
ciated with the farmer-labor move
ment have not yet thoroly learned the
disastrous lessons of class-collabora-
ion and bargaining with the old poll
,ical parties.
A Recent Election.
One year ago the farmer-laborites
in Hennepin County were facing a
municipal election in Minneapolis.
The left wing and progressives put up
splendid fight for a full ticket to
be headed by labor candidate for
mayor. At that time, however, there
developed strong sentiment among
section of the laborites, fostered by
the agents of George B. Leach, re-
publican mayor of Minneapolis, who
are always working assiduously in the
ranks of organized labor to prevent
labor candidate for mayor, which
forces were then so powerful as to
defeat the proposal for nominating a
full ticket. The sentiment expressed
by these opponents of full ticket
was that should labor candidate be
nominated for mayor against the
"friend of labor" George B. Leach,
then it would result in the defeat of
the progressive labor aldermen "who
had done so much for organized Ia
bor."
Due to the backward trend of the
labor movement in Minneapolis, the
result of almost four years of red
batting and descriptive tactics by
agents of the Gompers machine and
republican party in the labor move
ment, there was not enough strength
to defeat the opponents of full slate.
Therefore labor went into the battle
one year ago in Minneapolis without
any head to the ticket, with the re-
suit that the labor aldermen were al
most wiped off the ticket-Rudsdil,
lianscom, Scott and others VINO mad
been long in office going down to
defeat. ut is only fair to state that
| l. G. Scott, left wing candidate, was
| fighting right down the line for a full
ticket, along with the progressives
and militants.)
Disastrous Results.
T. e disastrous results of this cam
paign one year ago are now apparent
to even the most backward and con-
servative elements in the labor move
ment. Not less than round score
of labor men and farmer-laborites
