"The Labor Party has emerged
from being a Party of protest,
from being a band of dreameIs,
from being pioneers of better
order; it is now Party with a
complete program for the national
needs" Glasgow Forward"
May II, 1929-organ Of indie
pendent Labor Party.)
In all bourgeois democratic" cleo
items, The main characteristic of the
election manifestos issued by all the
bourgeois parties is that they consist
of a list Of promises to the electors.
In this respect, the election mani
festo issued by the British Labor
Party is a typical bourgeois election
document. 1t contains no analysis of
the present situation in Britain, it
formulates no demands, it has no
program-just list of promises.
Party of Capitalism.
Even within these bourgeois limits,
the Labor Party is considerably
handicapped, because it is not free
political party, it is a party of capt.
talist lieutenants. Take, for example,
the burning issue of the general cleo
ton: unemployment.
When these dociIe servants of
capitalism have uttered a word, they
look backwards to see what effect
it has had upon the masters they
serve. Thus, while we find no word
about socialism in the manifesto,
there is a declaration that "The La
Dor Party is neither Bolshevist nor
Communist. 1t is opposed to force,
revolution, and confiscation as means
of establishing the new social order.
1t believes in ordered progress and
in democratic methods" And this
is the only declaration of faith made
throughout the manifesto.
While every line of the manifesto
breathes the bourgeois character of
the Labor Party, striking illustra-
ton of its complete dependence upon
bourgeois public opinion is to be
found in the references to the Trade
Union Act and the Miners Eight
Hours Act. These two laws were re-
garded by the workers at large as
retaliation by the conservatives for
the General Strike and the miners
lockout, and there was no doubt in
their minds that the Labor Party
would not only declare their inten-

Again Sidetrack Probe.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The
manufacturers. committee of the
senate today again reversed itself,
and shunted the investigation of
starvation in southern textile mills,
requested by resolution introduced
into the senate, to the federal trade
commission.
Hearings on this resolution start
ed several weeks ago. Only the
bosses and the officials of the strike
breaking United Textile Workers
were heard. When a delegation of
Gastonia strikers arrived to testify,
the committee adjourned for over a
week, until they had left Washing
ton
The committee voted to turn the
whole investigation over to the fed
eral trade commission, then recon-
sidered, and by a vote of 6 to 5 de-
cided the senate should investigate.
Now they have again reversed them
selves, and the probe is buried in
the routine of the federal trade com
mission.
The vote to have the senate in
vestigate came just after news that
the labor department spies and the
U. 7. w. had sold out the rayon
strike. The present vote comes as
news arrives that the Elizabethton
workers may strike again.
Hatfield Decides.
The vote to have the commissions
instead of the senate make the in
vestigation follows:
For: Deneen, Rep, ILL.,; Hale, Rep.
Maine; Metcalf, Rep, R. l.; Hatfield,
Rep, West. Va; Goldsborough, Rep,
Md; and Smith, S. C.
Against: Lafollette, Rep, Wis;
MeNary, Rep, Ore; Wheeler, Dem.
Mont; Sheppard, Dem, Tex; and
Tyson, Dem, Tenn.
Senator Hatfield's was the decid-
ing vote. Last week he voted against
the senatorial investigation, carry
ing the committee with him. Mon
day he voted for a senatorial in
yestigation, once more casting the
deciding vote.
Yesterday, under the impression
that the Elizabethton strike was
over, Secretary of War Good prom.
lsed to investigate the illegal use OF
Tennessee national guard uniforms
and rifles and other equipment fol-
strike breaking purposes. While the
strike was going on, Good issued 6
statement saying that Volunteer
information" convinced him it was
all right for the militia equipment
to be used.

workers here the situation is better.
There is a real opportunity for a
victorious struggle under the real
leadership of the National Textile
Workers Union, to actually win
something worth while for the 5000
rayon workers. These are militant
and determined fighters, and have
been shamefully betrayed by the U.
T. w. The Kelley, McGrady, Hoff-
man clique came into a strike here
three months ago, and "compro-
missed" the men back to work.
Battled Militia Terror.
The strike started again a month
later, and picketing was maintained
vigorously against a terror insti-
tuted by deputized militia, armed
with tear gas, machine guns and
bayonetted rifles. Thugs from the
mill companies dynamited the strik-
ers'. water supply and the strikers
homes. Militiamen bayonetted girl
strikers. Over hundred pickets
were arrested for violation of an in
junction against picketing issued in
the first strike, under which arrests
were made in the second strike.
A delegation of Elizabethton
strikers is visiting Gastonia, to see
how the N. T. w. I. U. conducts the
fight.

The 1. L. D. is appealing to the
supreme court on the basis of the

bail meanwhile. Canter was brought
tc trial Thursday, charged with
criminal libel because he carried a
sign in a demonstration during the

The judge, in his charge TO the
jury, specified that they must find
Canter guilty unless they were con-
WINGED that Fuller, then governor of
The state, murdered Sacco and Van
Zetti with his own hand. He also
barred from the record all evidence
TO prove Fuller's connection with
the frame-up and electrocution of
the two workers, and sent the jury
out of The room while such evidence
was being presented by attorneys of
the Sacco-Vanzetti defense, and
others. He refused to allow Fuller
to be forced on the stand.
The jury, after less than two
hours consideration, acted on the
frame-up orders of Judge Raymond,
and found Carter guilty, Friday.
From his prison Canter issued to-
day written statement, covering
much of what he wished to say in
court. He condemns the executors
Of Sacco and Vanzetti, and expresses
his solidarity with the working
class, also praises the International

behalf.

During the sessions of the Hor-
