Smith on Prohibition and Labor

Among the newspapers that support Al
Smith, one section which caters to liberal
readers is busy shouting about the liberal
ism of Smiths acceptance speech; the other
section catering to a Weather section OF
the bourgeoisie, is equally insistant that the
acceptance speech shows that Smith is just
as good as Hoover from the Wall Street
point of view.
The truth is that Smiths acceptance
speech is fully as reactionary as the speech
of Hoover. Look into the liberal phrases
carefully, and every liberal" statement
Smith made contains an "out'; everything
has it's reservation that nullifies its pre-
tended liberalism, except such as are purely
negative statements of pious wish or senti-
ment.
Smith is not liberal. If he were liberal
he would come closer to making promises,
each of which would be ignored after cleo
ton. But search Smiths speech through and
through and every pretty flower of speech
has Tammany worm in it.
There is absolutely no difference of class
basis between the republican and the demo
cratic party today. The real or pretended
division among the directors of the largest
trusts and finance-capitalist institutions
only goes to prove that both Hoover and
Smith are acceptable to the finance-capitalist
oligarchy that rules America. It proves
equally well that both Smith and Hoover are
completely and unquestionably disciplined
servants of the same giant oligarchy.
An examination of the various points of
controversy (so-called) in this ''gentlemens
campaign upon the high level of which
each side compliments the other, only goes
to confirm the fact that they serve the same
masters.
The prohibition question Smith tries to
ballyhoo into the first place of controversy.
But when all is said and done, each of these
capitalist candidates would carry out pre-
cisely the same program in regard to pro-
hibition. Is the directorate of General Motors
divided on the question of best policy in re-
gard to liquor? Well, the directorates of this
and other such corporations will decide
among them what is the best system for
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-08-25

getting the highest degree of efficiency and
the greatest exploitation out of labor in
the big American industrial plants, and Smith
or Hoover will take orders that will be de-
livered to either of them from the same desk.
Smith said, IF with one hand on the bible
and the other hand reaching up to heaven
he promises to enforce the constitution, he
will do so-but he specifically applied this to
the prohibition amendment not to the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments. On the
question of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amndments his position is expressed in the
figure of the dead Negro swinging by rope
at the door of the democratic convention that
nominated him.
AS for what Smith calls his labor" plank,
it commits Smith to absolutely nothing. His
labor plank is for capital. His words in
favor of "the principle of collective bargain
ing" do not commit the General Motors or,
the Du Pont de Nemours Powder Co. to
agree to the unioniZation of their plants. Nor
does anyone seriously imagine that Raskob,
Woodin and Du Pont will even juggle with
company unionsm because of anything
Smith says, or that the U. S. government
will make them.
Smith, though he is said never to have
read book, must have grinned inside when
he repeated Sam Gompers' idiotic phrase
labor is not commodity" and it will not
interfere with the Steel Trusts purchase of
that commodity at the lowest starvation
rate
Smith declares for injunctions in labor dis
putes. He is for the use of injunctions; he
merely recognizes abuses" in the use of
injunctions and is only against what the
board of directors of General Motors would
be disposed to class as ''unwarranted" issu-
ance of injunctions!
Smiths acceptance speech is the speech of
John J. Raskob the open-shop manufacturer,
Pierre du Pont and their banker-friends.
Smith is obliged to scratch harder for
votes because he is the man outside of office,
and this affects his language If he can per-
suade millions of discontinued workers and
farmers to vote for capitalism, he will be
serving capitalism as we'll as any politician
can.
Smith is equally as reactionary as Hoover
or Coolidge.

Source of Power.

They are so all-powerful because
they have succeeded in paralyzing
temporarily the great giant--the
organized strength of the coal min
ers, the producers of coal. This
they achieved thru planting their
agents, tools within the ranks of
the U. NJ. w. A.-the Lewis ma
chine.
The coal barons have set up a
bureaucratic machine of their own
within the miners ranks. This is
the chief source of their strength.
This Lewis clique has done the
bosses an invaluable service by
Gripping the union and sapping it
of it's strength and vitality. The
next step in the bosses strategy is
to use this Lewis clique as a lever
with which to further break up the
union into many more fragments,
to further weaken, devitalize and
demoralize every one of it's parts,
and, therefore, the union as a
whole-and to thus lay the basis for
a final smashing of the union.
That such is the mission of the
present Lewis misleaders of the u
M. w. A. is testified by the capt.
talists themselves.
Proof of Treachery.
George j. Anderson, president OF
the Consolidation Coal Co." at q
banquet of coal operators at Pitts
burgh in February sought to inspire
them with fighting capacity against
100000 striking miners. There
must have been some "lame ducks
among the coal interests. So, upon
request of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
he made speech.
He stated that in his mines

Whilst the Japanese troops were
attacking the Southern army and
bombarding Tsinan and the advance
guard of the Southerners were put
ting up a desperate resistance to
the Japanese, the commanders Of
the Japanese and the Chinese
troops were shaking hands as sign

Only an immediate resuscitation
of the international solidarity of the

Piles can ward off the threatening
catastrophe and prevent bloody

the occupation of China by the

A Signature Drive in Arizona

We had hard job in front of us,
but we never thought about the job
as we went on. We just wanted to
get to Tucson, so we would be able
to get started. We arrived in Tue
son at 900 o'clock, had supper land
then worked until IL o'clock. We
went out to look for another free
ground, which we found. We
slept little longer the next morn
ing, as we were very tired, but got
up at seven, had breakfast, and went
to Comrade McFadden and Lewe's
home They gave us their support
by helping to get signers. Without
their support it would have beer
almost impossible to get the required
number of signatures. Also Com
rade McFadden gave donation Of
$11.50 to the cause. BY about $3.50
p. m. we had the required number Of
signatures. Comrade McFadden got
in touch with notary, and by 1870
p. m. we had our affidavits made.
After a short rest we left for
Superior to get other affidavits
made. After driving all night we
reached Superior about $50 in the
morning. We ate breakfast and
then got busy and found an ex-
l. w. W., who made the affidavits.
We left for Phoenix, and arrived
there at $3.50 p. m. We decided to
file the papers the next day, which
was the tenth. l went home, and

Friday morning, August 10th, we

to wait for him about two hours
When he did come, he told US that
we should go down and see the at
torney general. The latter was out
and would return at .2:30. After
eating our lunch we returned to the

checking up, we found that we
needed 3s more signers from ella
county. They were somewhat hos
tile toward us, but we knew the
election laws and went right ahead.

Fight Reaction.

The movement against the reac-
ton took on a mass character. In
Mukden prices are rising steadily
and the Mukden paper assignats are
steadily failing. At the beginning
of this year the value of these as
signats lad fallen to one-fortieth of
their nominal value. The lower Of
ficials are sabotaging, soldiers are
deserving, police and teachers are
striking, many factories have joined
the strike wave.
In North China in the years 1927
and 1928 Chill and Shangtung were
the first two provinces where the
strike movement welled up.
Since the events in Tsinan the
masses themselves have, despite the
