ers want to work eight hours, not ten. Yet the
representative of the Indian Chamber of Com
merce, an organization supporting the National
Congress, during the very height of the develop

were boldly attacking the police and falling I'm
der their bullets at this very moment demanded
from the Royal Labor Commission legislative en-
forcement of an 11-hour day
We already mentioned that the National Con-
gress has guaranteed the landed property of the
zaminders-the sworn enemies of midas free
dom. Yet the land-hungry peasant is not to be
expected to miss his chance when the revolution
comes.
1t is this fear of the revolution which is con-
cealed under Gandhi's propaganda of non-vio-
lence, moral" principle. Other more in
teligent representatives of the Indian bourgeoisie
know that except for a couple of hypocritical
preachers, the modern world is laughing up its
sleeve at Gandhi-the saint. They accordingly
produce other arguments against revolution in
India. Says D. c. Mukerji: cit is no use hiding
the fact that the revolving youth of the country
may be disillusioned that they will go right into
organizing a violent revolution when they come
out Of their jails. That will slowly push India
into such chaos that 1t will be ten times worse
than what has undertaken China" Gage 1897.
The body of "chaos" has been in all ages and
IL all countries the stock-in-trade of the "wise"
impotent liberals who are sympathetic, benevolent,

colleague informs us that the rather noisy
and raucous publicity about Enstein. who Is
being induced to give his learned opinion on
lot of things he knows nothing of, proceeds from
the fact that he has been taken in tow by Hen
rik Van Loon who is making sort of racket
out of the professors fame, inducing him to
visit Hollywood, all all the rest.
While we are about it. we must say that the
average honest worker has no idea of the way
such things are being put over. The trans
oceanic flyer from France, Coste, for eample,
was capitalized by the owner of certain New
York night club, who arranged all his "recep-
tons by the leading citizens of Dallas, Texas"
and the rest of the villages where the local
Rabbits could put up enough cash for the pro-
moter.
AS old Carl Marx said in the Communist Man
ifesto of 1913:
'"The bourgeosie has stripped of its halo
every occuption hitherto honored and looked
up to with reverent awe. II has converted
the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet,
the man of science, into its paid wage-la-
borers"

They Lied in Vain

NEW YORK.-"Justice,. the official organ of
the International Ladies' Garment Workers
admits in its issue of Dec, what the Daily
Worker charged on Nov %, that the 1. L, G. w.
and Amalgamated Clothing Worker chiefs, meet
ing with Mayor Walker had agreed to help him
shift the burden of taking care of the masses
of unemployed over onto the shoulders of the
workers. meeting was held on Nov. 18 in
Walkers office The next day the Daily Worker
charged that Dubinsky and Schlesinger and
Hillman had agreed that clothing for the job
less should be produced by the needle workers
without pay and turned over to the bosses to
give away as they liked.
That same day, the I. L. G. w. chiefs stated
through trade papers that they had not offered
the working needle workers for this sacrifice, and
the next day the Daily Worker took note of the
denial and stated that no one would believe it,
and that the schemes were going forward.
Now They Admit 1t.
Dec issue of the Justice" now admits most
of what was charged, saying only that Dubinsky
and Miller of the Amalgamated put through the
deal in Walkers office Nov. 20 1.-TWO days
after negotiations started and one day after the
takers had denied they were doing anything of
the sort)
The arrangement was made in Walkers pres
ence, between Dubinsky and Miller and Quot
ing from JUSTICE:
Leo A. Del Monte for the Cloak and Suit
Industrial Council, Morris Nagel and Maxwell
Copeloff for tho Merchant Ladies' Garment
Association, Morris Kolchin for the Affiliated
Dress Manufacturers, and J. A. Rogers for the
dress kjobbers. The employers promised to
supply the materials and the work places,
while Secretary Dubinsky pledged all the
labor required in the production of the gar
mentss similar pledge was given on behalf
of the mems clothing workers.
"The carrying out of this plan waits
the notice from the employers that they
ready with the goods and the factories. On
the night preceding the meeting in the office
of Mayor Walker, the New York Cloak Joint
Board voted to approve of the idea that idle
cIoakmakers be requested to make up all gar
ments for unemployed at half price and in
this manner make their own contribution to
the relief of the needy jobless men and women
in New York"
Changed a Little.
Evidently the prompt exposure of their plans
to victimize the workers and save the bosses
from paying wages for manufacture of clothing
for the jobless had the effect of hating action
and changing the plan from no pay at all to
half pay.
But the principle remains the same: workers
are to be fleeced to do what both jobless and
workers should organize to force the employers
to do. All workers should reject this skin game
of the I. L. c. w. bureaucrats, and fight for
unemployment insurance and relief at the es-
perse of the government and the bosses.

The establishing of correct political line the
Negro question and our efforts to put this line
into application has brought under our influence
thousands of Negro toilers. But there is sharp
disparity between our influence and our organi-

examination and discover some of our weaknesses.
We are agreed that our political line is correct.
But have we positively convinced the Negro toll
ers of this fact? Do they believe that we are
sincere? Have we energetically attempted to
eradicate their dstrust? Have our enlightenment

The existence of such burning questions give
concrete evidence for the cause of such alarming
