at the approval of Parker-a much less uSelui
tool of big business.
Hughes being clever fellow did not leave nm
self as open to attack by official labor as dd ar
ker Hughes pleased the labor leaders by estap-
fishing the policy in regard to Soviet recognition
that is followed to this day by the federal govern
,nent Parker made himself notorious with his
yellow Dog" Injunction, which restralns the
United Mine Workers from organizing the west
Virginia miners God knows, it did not require
Judge Parker to restrain John L. Lewis ana MS
corrupt ~organizers' from organizing the miners
anywhere. But Parker was good enough TO give
them an excuse for staying in their hotels ara
drawing their salaries.
Parker because of his anti-labor record en-
deared himself to the Open-shOp employers so they
told Hoover to get him on the supreme court
bench. Every radical and liberal as well as sena-
tors coming up for reelection In constituencies
where every vote is not for sale, are attacking
Parker and his appointment is in doubt where
does the "liberal" Dixon stand?
The liberal" Dixon stands with 'Yellow-Dog
Parker. The "liberal" Dixon advised the nomm-
alton of Parker on the ground that it would be
master stroke of political strategy. North Caro-
lima went Republican in the last election campaign,
saws Joe, and if Parker is put on the supreme
court bench, n C. may stay in the Republican
column Furthermore Joe is from North Carolina,
which may mean something or other.
There you have Joe Dixon, the "liberal," the
friend of the workingclass and the enemy of SOUL
less corporations 1t is to laugh!

THE BIG SNAKE SHOULD WORRY

Labor" an alleged labor paper published in
Washington, D. c., appears with euogy of T. ].
Walsh senior senator from Montana, darling of
the Anti-Saloon League and foe of corruption, but
the staunch defender of capitalism and the right
of the employing classes to exploit their slaves to
their hearts content. Labor says that the "Big
Snake" or the Anaconda Copper Mining Co., is
enemy of Walsh and friend of Judge Galen,
who is likely to be Wash's competitor for the
honor of representing Montana capitalism in the
United States senate for the next six years.
Labor" is all wet
1t does not make particle of difference to the
big Snake" whether the deluded voters of Mon
tana re-eect Walsh or hand the senatorial toga
to Galen. Either one will serve Anaconda well
Both doing it now. Con Kelly should worry.
The Company and controls twelve or thir-
teen of the daily papers in the state of Montana.
1t influences the overwhelming majority of the
weeklies-the most venal collection of rags" that
ever Gisgraced state. Some of those Anaconda
papers are Democratic; some are Republican The
Democratic papers will support Walsh; the Repub-
lican papers will support Galen. The Company
Owls and controls both parties.
1t is the custom of Anaconda to give generous
donations to the Republican and Democratic cam
paign chests. Heads they win; tails we lose This
is not only the policy of the Anaconda; it is the
policy of big business in every state where the
balance between the two parties hangs as precari-
ously as it does in Montana.
A lot of excitement will be worked up over the
contest between Walsh and Galen. But to the
small farmer and to the worker it will be a mat
ter of tweedledum and tweedledee
Unfortunately there is no likelihood of a party
of the producers being in the field this fall. The
parties of capitalism are almost certain to have
the road all to themselves. The farmers have
their mouths open waiting for the farm board TO
drop something into it. Their leaders are handing
out the old flapdoodle to them. The labor leaders
are either on the Company payroll or scabbing on
those that taking the COIN The masses are
apathetic and skeptical.
Senators and congressman will never put more
food on the workngman's table or put better
clothes his back. That is his own Job. Sena-
tors and congressman confine their activities in
Washington to fighting for the interests of the in.
dustrial lords who pay their campaign and other
expenses. They let out an occasional yell for the
meek and lowly with an eye on the next election
and then go about their masters business.
If either Walsh or Galen ever did anything fol
the laboring masses we have to be shown. Walsh
poses as progressive; Galen is a rank and franl
reactionary.

ECONOMY AT THE EXPENSE OF
WOUNDED VETERANS

Somebody said that "history left the fighting to
the fools and perhaps for or twice history is
correct.
South Dakota, introduced bill in the house to
give additional relief to the wounded veterans Of
the WORLD war. Representative Ranlil If Misssis-
sippi, nailed so many amendments to it, in an eff
tort to give the victims of Wall Street something
tangible that Johnson, arch-reactionary, withdrew
his name from the bill and offered Rankin the
honor of having his cognomen attached to it.
The house turned over the bill to the senate
where it will be gnawed over by those watch dogs
Of capitalism. Should it pass in its present form
thru that body it will be sent to Hoover for ap-
proval. 1t is expected that Hoover will veto the
bill on the ground that the government cannot
stand the additional expense.
What a sight for the gods! The poor devils who
risked their lives and suffered injuries that will
keep them crippled for life are not considered
worthy of adequate compensation while those for
whom they fought-the capitalists receiving
+ in refunds hundreds of millions of dollars on the
profits they made while the wounded veterans
were taking the German attack on the button in
1917 and 1918.
1t was great fun marching down Fifth Avenue,
New York. to take the boat for France in 1917 and
1918 Beautiful daughters of the bourgeoisie threw
kisses and flowers at them. Our heroes!
Those that returned whole found their jobs
missing and those that returned in pieces found a
government unwilling to heal their wounds.

MOTHER JONES
PASSES CENTURY

So, lying back on her pillows in
the little farmhouse in the woods,
ten miles from the capitol building
where the yellow dog contract was
determining the fate of Judge
Parker and the United States Su-
preme Court, Mother Jones met
the morning of her Tooth birthday,
May 1, with smiling serenity. Off
there in the Senate chamber the
real celebration of her anniversary,
and of the international Labor
Day, was being held. Close at
hand were her friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. E. Burgess, caring for
her every material need. Ed
Nockels, secretary of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, was there
with his arrangements for hel
birthday party, to be attended by
American Federation of Labor of,
ficials and employees. And Mock
els had arranged a special pro
gram to be broadcast from Sta
ton VIGIL, in Chicago, in he
honor. Yet after all, fighting fol
humanity was her essential JOY il

nized radicals. had started such /;
fire over Parker and his yellow

was the focus of national interes
