Soldiers Must Organize to End Slavery

house is waiting for all soldiers who
make individual fights against the
officers, but organized effort of the
service men can force the war de-
partment to give far better ccndi-
lions and political rights. Definite
demands must be presented by the
soldiers up with organized eff
fort. Not only the soldiers them
selves should fight for these demands,
but civilian workers must realize
their community of interest with
soldier workers and take up the strug-
gle for their interests.
The Right to Vote.
The first demand must be the
recognition Of the citizenship of the
soldiers and all the rights Of citi-
zen. The soldier must receive the
right 20 cote and to participate freely
in political life. The soldier must have
the right to select ais own newspapers
and literature without fear of perse-
cution for possession of working class
publications.
Soldiers at present are denied the
right to organize into trade unions.
Only the right of political and trade
union organization can protect the in
terest of the service men.
The government uses soldiers re-
cruited from the working class against
their fellow workers. Soldiers ana
workers must fight against this use
of the service men against their own
class.
Other demands should be the reeog-
milton of May 1st as a soldiers holi-
day, the right to participate in May
Day celebrations, and for the rights
of soldiers from the colonies. For in
stance, the Filipino Scouts at present
receive only about half the small pay
of the American soldier, practically
all the officers are American, and
English is the official language in
spite Of the fact that few are able TO
understand it. Also, English is the
official language for the Spanish
speaking soldiers from Porto Rico,
who are stationed in Panama

The Save-the- Union movement
looms up as menace to both the
operators and the administration in
the Il. NJ w. OF A. With the leader
ship now controlling the miners
union the operators feel secure. They
arc assured that they can, with the
present olficialdom in the union
carry out their plans for the destruc-
ton Of the organization. That they
can institute series of wage cuts
break the Jacksonville agreement and
take from tie miners all they have
gained after years of struggle.
The latest developments in Illinois
are conclusive proof of the gentlemen
agreement between the coal barons
and the machine, 1t has as it's objec-
tive, destruction of the Save-the-
Union movement thru any and all
means so as to allow them a free
hand in their activity. We find, there
fore, that number Of coal companies
are signing up their mines. This is
taking place all over the state. They
think that thru these means they viii
destroy the movement of the progress
sive forces in Illinois. The contracts
call for the Jacksonville wage scale
and this the officials pride themselves

for corporals and $40 for sergeants.
But the present method of promo
ton results in the selection of nom
commissioned officers from those who
have been the most faithful slaves Of
the officers, and in many cases as a
result of bribery, while the most
capable soldiers who often have been
in the army for years remain privates
because they have some spirit cf man
hood, Promotion should be placed Oh
an examination basis, and demon
stration qualification, instead of the
pleasure Of the superior officers, %
is the case at present.
The final demand of the soldiers
should be non-interference in their
personal affairs. At present, soldiers
are permitted to visit only certain
towns and cities-or certain streets
of them-when on pass. Soldiers gem
orally are not permitted to marry
without the consent of their officers,
and in Panama and Nicaragua the
marines and soldiers have been for
hidden to marry any native of those
countries.
All of these demands for the service
men can be realized as soon as the
soldiers organize and present united
front to the war department. Not
until the soldiers realize that they
belong to the working class and are
more exploited than the civilian work
ers can they hope to free themselves
from the present conditions of serf-
dom.

u. S. Will Take
Away Lands of
Haiti F arners

PORT AU PRINCE, May IA
Cadsatra bill, for the registration of
land titles in Haiti, with the obvious
Intention to appropriate the native
Haitian peasants in order to hand
over the land to American conees-
sionaires, was submitted last July to
the government of Haiti by the Amer
lean financial adviser, DIR. w. w.
Cumberland. Since all Recommended
tions" of the American advisers are
adopted without questioning by the
Haitian government, there is no doubt
that this law will be accepted in due
time, and the illiterate Negro pea
SAINTS, who have no written documents
Of titles to the land which they have
held since their successful revolution
against the French landowners and
holders about $50 years ago,
will again become landless slaves.
The original bill as submitted last
July provided that all peasants I'M
able to show titles to the land on
which they have been living for gen
erations, would be appropriated and
their lands handed over to the state,
which in turn would proclaim them
public property and sell or lease them
to American concessionaires. Accord
ing to this bill the property of each
parcel of land and the title to it would
have to be examined and decided by
an administration board composed of
two Americans and one Haitian APP
pointed by the Haitian government, in
other words exclusively by American
officials.
According to the new form of the
Cadastral bill, native Haitian judges
will decide which lands are held by
the natives illegally and they will ex-
propriate them in favor of the Amer
leans in due form, after a legal pro-
ceeding.

6. Guard duty of not more than
six hours during the day, and net
more than four hours for night duty.
Must Demand Better food
In the effort to get more young
workers into the army, the war de-
partment about year ago announced
an increase of the food ration to so
cents per day. This, however, is en-
tirely insufficient. Also, there is con-
siderable graft on the part Of COM
pany commanders and mess sergeants
fact to which it is hardly necessary
to call the attention Of any soldier
Many soldiers state that the food at
present is very poor in many or most
military posts, and that there has
been very slight if any improvement
since increase Of ration allowance.
The soldiers. should fight for ration
allowance of $1.00 per day, and also
the election of the mess sergeant by
the company, and control Of food sup
plies by committee Of the soldiers.
The war department can be forced
to make good it's promises of educa-
tional opportunities and study. The
soldiers should demand that classes
in cultural and industrial training be
made available for all soldiers, and
that at least two hours daily study
be given those who wish to improve
their education, to be deducted from
an eight hour day of duty. Demands
for free movies and other entertain
ments are among those which can be
realized by the soldiers.
At present, the private soldier gets
$21. per month, but from this he must
pay for his laundry, for tailor made
uniforms, and many other things, and
it is by no means infrequent that a
soldier is even in debt on pay day
after meeting expenses. The former
pay of $50 per month was reduced and
the soldiers are forced to spend this
small sum for military expenses be-
cause they have made no organized
protest.
The soldier should demand in adj
dition to all expenses, not less than
$40 per month for privates, $50 per
month for privates 'tfirst class" $50

BY PAUL CROUCH.

Unemployment is driving increas-
ing numbers of young workers into
the army Thousands who are denied
the right to work in the United
States, in spite of all the tremendous
wealth of the country, ere only too
ready to listen to the promises Of
the recruiting officers. They are
told that after a few years in the
army they will "llnow trade" and
that employers will compete for their
labor. They are promised a delight
full life in the army, all expenses, AND
the romantic are told about the op.
portunity of resting on the beach al
Waikiki with beautiful native girls tc
entertain them.
Disillusionment.
The young workers who are forced
into the army by unemployment and
those who have been influenced by the
stories of the recruiting officers soon
discover the truth about the army
when it is too late. Those going to
the colonies for service are virtually
imprisoned in the recruit and casual
barracks at Fl. Slocum, New York, OF
at Fl. Mcdowell on Angel Island
California. They are forced to pay
for their own tailor made uniforms,
live on so cents per day for food
minus the graft of company COM
manders and mess sergeants, pay for
many military expenses including the
oil to clean their rifles, and find that
more time is devoted to fatigue work
than to military drill. Also, the
young workers in the army find that
they are deprived of all citizenship
rights, denied the opportunity to par
ticipate in political life and can not
vote, and they are virtually slaves OF
the officers. Many desert from the
army, but those who are arrested re-
ceive long terms in prison under the
worst conditions.
Soldiers Must Organize.
The state of slavery under which
the soldiers live is due to the lack
of political education and the fact
that the soldiers have no organiza-
ton. They can free themselves by
the same methods as civilian workers
by organization and a united fight
against their oppressors. The guard
