Blackmer, Missing Oil
Graft Witness, Given
Slight Fine by the u. S.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a levy
of 100000 bonds now belonging to
Harry M. Blackmer, missing Teapot
Dome witness, under the first con-
tempt ruling against Blackmer under
the Walsh act, was made today.
U. S. Attorney Rover and Gov
eminent Counsel Pomerene advised
the seizure as Blackmer still is in
France and has refused to testify
in the two trials of Harry F. Sim
clair in District of Columbia Su-
preme Court.
The Teapot Dome fraud Melted
those concerned millions, and Black
mer is not expected to much miss
the 100000. The extradition case
for his return from France was mis-
managed by the U. S. attorneys, so
that no suit was started until the
French statute of limitations had
run, and Blackmer could not be re-
turned without violation of French
law.

The Fourth Congress of the R. 1.
L. U. decided that it's followers in
the United States must initiate and
seriously lead the campaign to or
ganize the unorganized, but never at
the price of abandoning the work
within the old trade unions and of
surrendering the organized millions
to our enemies. On the contrary, the
one campaign must go hand in hand
with the other. The work must be
conducted in such a way that the
campaign to organized the morgan
lied will supplement the activities
in the old trade unions and vice
versa.
The Congress declared: "The chief
task of the R. /. L. U. adherents in
these countries still remains that of
winning a majority of the workers
organized in the reformist unions.

China Business Men,
Japan, u. S. Clash
on Tsinanfu Control

! SHANGHAI, Jan. 9.-Two for
eign newspaper correspondents re-
turning from Tsinanfu, where they
attempted to investigate the railroad
situation, returned with accounts of
the Japanese control in that region.
The Japanese officials are holding
hundreds of locomotives and cars be-
longing to Chinese railroads.
Snow, one of the correspondents,
declares that Chinese business men
in the Japanese military area are in
state of terror, fearing to make
the slightest move which might dis
please the Japanese military. 1t was
also revealed that last November
the American consulate at Tsinanfu
forwarded to Washington a protest
from American shippers in Shan
tung, claiming that their business
had been ruined by hating of train
service by the japanese and that the
American government had forward
ed an inquiry on the matter to
Japan.
1t is believed that the Japanese
government will hold the locomotives
and cars to use as a lever against
the Marking government until sat
isfactory agreement is made between
the two regimes.

LONDON.-While the General
Council of Trades Union Congress
is busy talking peace in industry
evidence has recently been published
here to show that the capitalists are
busy preparing for eventual indus
trial war.
A well worked-out scheme for the
training of scabs for the railways,
planned by one of the Grouped Rail
way arrangements, was exposed in
an article in the Locomotive Jour
nal" by w. J. R. Squance, assistant
general secretary of the Associated
Society of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen.
Mr.. Squance declares that there is
N existence "a 42-page document,
issued by one of our Grouped Rail
way arrangements, setting out an
organized method of preparation for
dealing with a possible future rail
way strike.
This document is, he says, marked:
"To be kept under lock and key
strictly private"
The scheme provides. says Mr..
Squance, for the establishment of
Central Intelligence Offices, with
several District Control Committees
at various places.
"This intelligence for the working
Of the railway will be transmitted to
the officers of ali departments in the
district, who will form these District
Committees and sit at the District
Superintendent's offices, with the
District Operating Superintendent
acting as chairman, to keep order
and ensure discipline in the hour of
crisis"

trict Committees is to prepare and

The conservative unions may ever
increase their membership and be
come an even more formidable power
in the hands of the labor lieutenant'
of the capitalist class to fight the
revolutionary movement in the Uni
ted States. Of course, this prophesy
may not come true. 1t is possible
that the ruling class, in its blind
greed for more profits and in its
desire to wipe out every interior
ence, though it may be of the mildest
character, may crush out of existence
the old trade unions entirely, as it
has done several times in the past
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
we cannot surrender to the enemy
the three and half million workers
without a most determined struggle.
1t is sheer waste of time to repeat
to ourselves continuously that the
American Federation of Labor or the
Railroad Brotherhoods are reaction
airy, almost entirely company-union-
lied. In fact, we are repeating this
obvious fact so often in our press
and our speeches that we have fl
nally succeeded in convincing a great
many of our comrades that these
unions are entirely hopeless, that
we are only wasting our energy and
killing our time by trying to influ-
ence them from within. We psychol-
ogized many of our comrades to such
an extent that even if they do not
express openly as yet, whats the
use to continue working in the old
unions" they feel that way deep
down in their minds. This is one of
the reasons for deserving the old
trade unions or for the weakening
of our struggle to revolutionize them
from within.
Fewer repetitions about the reac-
tionary character of the old unions
and more emphasis upon the import
ance and possibilities for our strug-
gle within them will do great SER

stage of development. More empha-
sis upon the necessity of always
making a distinction between the
Greens, Wolls, Hillmans and Sig
mans and the rank and file members
of the trade unions will do a great
deal to open our way toward the
hearts and minds of these organized
millions. We are not their enemies.
Therefore, we should not speak, as
we often do, in such a manner as if
we were their class enemies.
There are many obstacles to our
work in the old unions. The Difficult
ties are very great. But we have
never had any illusions about an
"easy sailing" in our struggle within
ITEM against their misleaders. Should
these difficulties deter US from con-
tinuing our mission, from aiming at
our goal? Of course not! We must

British Report Their
Afghan Rebels Attack

CALCUTTA, India, Jan. g.
Afghan rebels have captured a gov
eminent fort five miles from Kabul,
the capital, and started lombard
ing the capital with English artil-
lery, according to a message re-
ceived here today by airplane from
Kabul. The plane is an English one
and British imperialism is back of
the rebellion, so the news is not ac-
corded full credence.
Gholum Nonobi, former colonel in
the Afghan army, has Joined the
forces of the pro-British leader,
Batchai Sakkao, and a night attack
on the capital is regarded as i'm
minent, the message said.
Government forces, which recently
drove back the insurgents when they
invaded the outskirts of Kabul, were
reported confident that they would
defeat the present attack.

on Systematically, stubbornly, insist
ei,tly, patiently, agitation and pro-
paganda in those very institutions,
societies and associations however
reactionary, where proletarians or
semi-proletarians gather"
In our trade union work we need
balanced program. We correctly
emphasize now the necessity of car
rying on an energetic campaign to
organize the unorganized by build
ing new unions where the old unions
play no role, or where they have
no mass following, or where in or
der to remain in them we have to
abandon our Communist principles.
But it is absolutely wrong and harm
full to do so at the expense of our
work in the old, mass trade unions,
as it is the tendency in our Party
again, as it was pointed out in the
beginning of this article, not in
words, but in deeds.

"In order to be able to help the

Lenin, at is necessary to brave all
difficulties, obstacles, insults, cavils
and prosecutions by the leaders
(who, being opportunists and social
chauvinists, are in most cases d.
