mentally at early the figure now being reduced to

1t will not be difficult for the A. F. of L. unions to get
these facts. The big question is: what will they do with
these facts after they get them? They will probably be
pigeonhoed At most they will be used hafheartedy in

among the republicans and democrats who burned the lives
out of Sacco and Vanzetti.

industrial unionism gains strength with every strug

By A. JAKIRA.

The brutalities of the coal and
iron police, better known as "Yel-
low Dogs" and of the state police
Of Pennsylvania, or the state "cos-
sacks" are well known to every
one interested in the labor move
ment. Both the yellow Dogs" and
the state cossacks are powerful
strikebreaking agencies in the hands
Of the large employers of labor.
During the recent coal miners
strike thousands Of workers. their
wives and children, were victims of
these bloody tools of the coal OPP
orators. The brutalities of the state
cossacks at the well-known Ches-
wick Sacco-V anzetti meeting on Au-
gust 22nd, 1927 are beyond descrip-
ton.
The bloody activities of the coal
and iron police again came into the
limelight recently after miner was
murdered in cold blood by a group
Of "Yellow Dogs" in the employ of
the notorious union-breaking Pitts
burgh Coal Company near Imperial,
Pennsylvania. The methods used by
these murderers in this particular
instance were Of such beastly ma

The Uprising in Mexico

will utilize its big and growing in
fluence among the workers and peas
ants to mobilize them as independ-
ent guerrilla forces against the
counter-revolution and for the real
ization of their own class interests.
Peasantry Armed.
Already large sections of the peas
antry are armed. Some of them ac-
quired arms in previous revolutions
and have resisted all attempts of the
Gales Government to disarm them.
Portes-Gil, forseeing the present up
rising has been trying to win peas
ant support by distributing land and
arms. The Valenzuela supporters
have also tried this, but to a more
limited extent, and it is even pos
sible that the arms that General
Aguirre distributed in the State of
Vera Cruz will be used by the peas
ants there, who are the most adj
vanced in the country, against Gen
eral Aguirre himself.
An important role in the struggle
is, being played By American and
British imperialism. Both Central
Government and rebels angle for
support of American capital. The
present government of Mexico has
made so many important concessions
to American oil interests and finan-
cial interests (debt payment) and
has demonstrated that it has suf-
ficient popular support, that the
American capitalist interests find it
profitable to support it as long as it
seems to show strength enough to
survive.
At the same time, American inter
estG flirt with Valenzuela and
cautiously watch developments. Brit
ish capital has been additionally
allied with the Catholic Landowning
movements in Mexico, and Valen-
zuela was Ambassador to the Court
of Saint James.
Thus behind the developments in
Mexico at present is the shadow of
American military intervention and
the shadow of the Anglo American
antagonism-the dominant world an
tagonism inside the ranks of the
imperialists. The present develop
ments in Mexico involve the ripen-
ing of the Mexican revolution. They
also involve the possibility of world
war.

Socialists in True Light.
The socialists, the liberals and the
high salaried labor officials were
compelled to come out in their true

Instead of organizing a campaign

tives of labor" are making a feeble
attempt to make the bills intro

Fisher in the state legislature more

hesitate to come to an agreement
with bourgeois politician, Mus
mano by name, tool of the Melons

introduce Q bill in the state legis-
lature regulating" the coal and iron
police. This bill met with the full
approval of the socialists, the Amer

By BERTRAM D. WOLFE.

The uprising in Mexico was a de-
velopment out of the campaign for
the election of a president in Mexico
to take the place of President Obre-
gon who was assassinated. In the
last two decades all presidential
elections in Mexico have been de-
cided on the battlefield, and not in
the voting booth.
This is due to the lack of power
full national bourgeoisie with the
consequent lack of parliamentarism,
the rapid development of Mexican
economy with the consequent insta-
bility of class forces, the activities
of competing American and British
imperialisms and their struggle for
the rich oil and. mineral resources of
Mexico, and the development of
agrarian labor and anti-imperialist
revolutionary forces.
Reactionary Uprising.
The uprising is quite clearly re-
dictionary in character. Its leading
figure or candidate for the pres
idency is Gilberto Valenzuela. He is
supported by the rebel generals,
Escobar military chieftain of the
uprising), Manzo, and Aguirre, and
apparently by the renegade agrari-
ans, Manrique and Soto CANA.
His chief slogan during the "peace-
full" or propaganda period of the
election campaign was religious
freedom" The immediate content
of this slogan is freedom for the
Catholic Church (Which is forbidden
by Mexican law to own land, par
ticipate in politics, carry on re-
ligious education for the young, etc.
Behind the Church stand the big
landowners, particularly the older
Spanish families of semi-feudal
landowners. They have been the
backbone of all of the recent coun-
ter-revolutionary uprisings in Mex
leo. The Communist Party of
Mexico and the Worker Peasant
Bloc, largely under Communist leao-
ership, have already issued &C.
claration branding the uprising as
counter-revolutionary.

pear to be a larger proportion than
