also out of the Chinese revolution

also out of the growing challenge to

operatives had been heightened by the
declaration of the Fall River Cotton
Manufacturers Association that they
will not guarantee steady employ

wage cuts.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. o.
The statement made by the New Bed
ford Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton after their meeting last Saturday,
where a wage cut was to be consid-
cred, is entirely different from what
was expected, due to the new devel-
opments in Fall River, where gen.
eral strike seems imminent.
The New Bedford employers had
been carefully watching the results Of
the wage cut decision of the Fall
River employers. and had decided to
declare wage cut if no trouble arose
in Fall River. When the labor Off
cialdom's announcement that the
strike vote had failed, had been made,
the bosses meeting had been called to
publicly decide a reduction.
The statement they did make, how
ever, was that they had postponed the
wage question temporarily. This was
done when several unions belonging
to Fall River Textile Council, de-
clared that they will not abide by the
councils decision, and will take inde-
pendent strike votes.

from club houses, possibly on the
Tammany model, is the plan an
nounced by the Hillquit leadership in
the socialist party as it's program for
the 1928 election campaign.
In an interview given out to the
press yesterday by Hillquit, leading
spokesman and James Oneal, editor of
the New Leader, central organ of the
party, the announcement was made
that no stress will any longer be made
even on their previous reformist pro-
gram of government ownership and
control of production. Instead they
will go still farther to the right by
putting forward a few minor, inof-
fensive measures. A plan will be out
lined for the United States to join the
league of nations or at least the in
| ternational court of justice, with
out impossible reservations" Hillquit
ANNOUNCED.
Some opposition to this might de-
velop at the coming convention on
| April IA, HiiiquiU admitted, but in
timated that his group had the forces
well in hand. The opposition, it is
known, will base it's position on a
more or less timid assertion that the
league of nations is mot yet" a fit
instrument for peace.
Hypocritical Gesture.
In view of the bitter opposition by
Hillquit to any dealings or sympathy
with the Soviet government as ex-
pressed at the New Leader" dinner,
the proposed plank in the coming So
cialist platform for the recognition of
the Soviet Union, it is believed, is in
tended as a remnant of the old pro-
gram, retained in the effort to hold
sections of the progressive movement
in the United States. This plank,
while asking the recognition of the
workers republic, will slap at the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
with the words, regardless of ap-
prevail or disapproval of the Russian
government"

Trotskyist Errors.
Concerning the Trotskyist instruc-
tons to associates abroad Zinoviev
and Kamenev wrote: "The strength
and significance of the Union of the
Socialist Soviet Republic for the
world labor movement consists in the
naturalization of the proletarian die
tatorship as the driving force in the
world revolution. Ignoring this means
at best abandoning the Bolshevik
viewpoint and adopting the cleft"
trade union viewpoint.
"The characterization of the Soviet

tons maintaing that the Party and
the State are under the leadership Of
the petty bourgeois elements, forced
to hang on the working class is
equally wrong.

obviously the authors hold that
the proletarian dictatorship no longer
exists. Essentially this constitutes
complete form of Thermidor, name
ly historical and political untruth.
The Opposition's work in the Com
munist Party is viewed by the Trots-
kyists as Communist work in refor-
mist trade unions. The Trotskyists
openly admit that the French
against stream group representing
the real right purely intellectual
group is the only group of French
Trotskyist adherents in the Commu-
mist international. From our relations
with Maslow and Ruth Fischer we
are convinced that they personlly and
definitely favor a second German
party at all costs. Maslow and Ruth
Fischer deserve condemnation.
"The best section of workers follow

second party idea and are seeking to

Dead Towns Coming to Life

An interesting parallel is drawn ny a New York
writer between the Southern cities Of today and the
dead towns" Of 25 or 30 years ago. Throughout the
South, from Brownsville to Richmond, Va, he has dis
covered that the old somnolence. which in former years
characterized the average Southern town or city, mad

ally regenerated Southern industry and southern
progress.
The dead town" has been relcgated 10 Oblivion.
There are still a few scattered villages which bear tue
marks Of a by-gone age, but the average Southern town
or city Is far more progressive, has better facilities
schools, churches, streets and buildings and is a Jar
better place in which to live than the moss-grown
towns and cities Of New England which a half century
ago were regarded as "hives OF industry"
A quarter Of a century ago the South was Just be-
ginning to awake from the lethargy resulting from thc
Civil war and the days Of reconstruction. Today it a.

I and composed of men whose ability and integrity arc
beyond question, il j. charged that some federal judges
do abuse their power, and become autocratic, Iicta-
torial and overbearinr. The integrity and ability o.
such judges are seldom questioned, but the methods
by which they conduct their courts and interpret laws
arouse criticism.
The most Outspoken critics Of the federal judiciary
are leaders Of organized labor. who assert that rulings
Of federal judges in labor disputes are frequently un-
fair, and there is much objection to the use Of federal
injunctions.
But if the authority Of federal judges is further ie-
strieted, how can we expect a better administration Of
justice in the country? How can we expect our courss

Thus the argument runs. II IL a difficult proble-

Eliminating the Rough Stuff

The day Or rough stuff % party conventions
closed with the advent Of woman suffrage. as was ct-
idenced in the democratic state convention at 3cau-
mont Tuesday when the Palo Pinta county delegation,

delegation recognized.
The Sanders delegation had won the Enforcement

There is much truth in the old contention that Ii

pected to be shocked occasionally, but politics do not
license vulgarity such as the Palo Pinta county leader
INDUCED in. His remarks were unnecessary and M
called for, and Southern chivalry demand that ne b.

There was a time in the history " politics VIXEN
such remarks on the floor Of a convention would have

bolster his or her cause by observing TIE rules Of DE-
corum. In q gathering Of ward heelers or low class

have aroused no resentment, but the Beaumont conven-
ticn could not permit such vulgarity pass u~nnoticcd.
