At 1t Again
BY JORGE

We confess that we don't know what "vice"
is. But we do know that a lot OF cops are
making money on it. The capitalist press is
forced to be nlodestly excited over revelations
that innocent" girls have been arrested, yes,
and some of them are now serving prison SEN
fences for "Vice."
If they were only guilty then Jail is the
proper place for them, is the viewpoint Of the
capitalist press. And amid all the fuss over the
grating police, don't forget that what all the
hypocritical capitalists want is that the girls
who are guilty" should get jailed and not 'pro-
tected"-for price.
We refuse to accept the capitalist definition
of "vce" The crimes against woman kind of
the capitalist class which drives girls to prosti-
tuition absolves them in our eyes from any
guilt" And we do not want them sent to Jail.
What we comment on, is the transparent eff
forts of one Mr.. Mulrooney & Co., head of the
Tammany police, New Yorks finest" to cover
up the revelations that the NJ Y police depart
n1ent is in the racketeering business, fact we
announced when Mr.. Murooney lent his pris-
tine presence to the official "anti-racketeer"
committee being organized by his fellow rack
eteer, Mr.. Grain.
An Inspector Bolan, 1t seems, had "inveSti-
gated" and found the police innocent. But now
comes gent who duplicates whole droves of
cops IN the wee racket. But a DICK named Con-
frey, of Inspector Bolan's staff was the one who
taught this gent, Acuna by name, to be frame
up artist against women if they were "inno-
cent" or a stool-pigeon if they were guilty"
1t is worth noting that when guilty" women
were scarce, Acuna says-"Vice squad members
swooped down upon the Negro section of Har-
lem, crashed flats and made arrests at ram
DOM" "A habit that they count on getting away
with because New York law deprives workers
of their constitutional right ito keep and bear
arms and shoot the daylights out of such Off
cial criminals.
Acuna was told "get something" on house
at 200 West 10th ST.. but found only innocent"
people there. But the cops made pinch any

week by the cops to 'get" women, yielded to

member that an Inspector Day said that he saw
nobody beaten, but that the reds" had thrown
themselves violently to the pavement" in such
way as to get bruised, so as to have an eX-
cuse TO charge that the police had been brutsl?"
Well, here are some more things like that

an apartment tenant to the apartment man.

gals, went outside where one of these suspicious
characters, Patrolman Newman, promptly pro-
ceeded to knock ingalls, galley-west and arrested
both him and Dodenhoff for "disorderly con-
duct"
In court the cops testified: "That ingalls, had
been drinking and collapsed in an epiIeptic fit
on the sidewalk in front of the station" And
that was where he got that black eye, etc.
But ingalls,, his family physician and friends
testified that he had never taken a drink of
liquor in his life and never had an epileptic fit
This all happened at 156 Kenmore Place Brook
lyn, and the charges against ingalls, we're dis
missed. But Mulrooney still keeps the cop.
Then, this chap Acuna, who spilled the beans
on the vice graft, last Wednesday testified in
detail how Police Inspector John Ryan had
taught him how to stool on women and frame
them up.
THE first thing I must do, the inspector
said, was to change my name. Then 1 must
not let anybody know my real name or adj
dress. Then when cntrspped women / must
give false name and address, that must
play the part in comedy, that would be
slapped around, insulted by the officers and
that that was the part of a stool pigeon, but
it was only a comedy"
And what does MIR. Mulrooney's Inspector
Ryan say about it? The Times tells us:
Inspector Ryan said that it was possible
that Acuna had been taken into his former Of
flee at the West 123rd Street station and duped
into believing that he was talking to the actual
inspector"
And what does Mr.. Mulrooney say of all this
hokum?
IF Ryan isn't an honest man, there isn't an
honest man on the force"
We agree with Murooney this time. There

THE splendid fighting spirit of the foreign-b born
workers in the United States, the invaluable
part which they play in the American labor
terrorist campaign against them is well exhibit
ed in the case of Guido Serio
Serio is now being held at Ellis Island by
the federal government for deportation to Italy,
and only the immediate, determined action of
the American working class save him from
the certain death which awaits him there, at the
hands of the Italian fascist
Serio came to the United States from Italy
in 1924. He bore on his body seven stiletto
wounds inflicted by fascsts while he was ma
tional secretary of the Seamens Union of Italy,
a militant organization which he helped organ
ize, with membership of 100000
Ever since he has been in this country Serio
has continued his revolutionary activities. He
has been especially engaged in organizing the
approximately two million Italian workers in
the United States, for better conditions and for
support of their fellow workers struggles in the
home country against italian fascism.

In relation to the Negro question, both rene
gade groups have common approach, openly
denouncing the Communist slogan of self-de-
termination for the Negroes and thereby sup

The latest and most scandalous expression OF
this counter revolutionary line on the Negro
question is seen in their openly joining the Gar

The last few weeks have witnessed a notable
increase in plaintive wailings and MORNINGS by
the bourgeoisie over the sufferngs and misfor-
tunes of the more dependent members of the
family. namely the women and children.
Hoovers speech on the conditions of children
followed soon after the decision of the southern
textile barons to abolish women and children
labor at night for purely humanitarian" rea-
sons. Hoover in that speech spoke of the added
miseries inflicted upon the children by the crisis
He told of six million children Improperly nour-
ished" and urged reform as relief This re-
form of course to be conceded to the poor work
ers by the slave driving industrial leaders. Hoo
yer lauded the attempts already made by the
capitalists ito better the living conditions of the
workers"
A shining example of the big hearted capital
lists and their reform are accorded the workers
in the latest move of the bosses to shift the
burden of the crisis onto the workers shoulders
in the typical brotherly and ELUSIVE manner OF
the war mongering philantropists.
In Atlanta the Fulton Cotton Mill, citadel OF
exploitation, decided to do something good for
its wage slaves. Accordingly the Atlanta news
papers carried editorials and columns of news
devoted to the march Of progress, civilization and
better living standards which necesstated the
exploiters to harken to "the humanities insum-
bent upon them" by cutting off women and child

There is no doubt of the fate that awaits
him there. Only widespread mass protests can
save Serio for the revolutionary movement.
This action of the U. S. government shows the
direct relation between it and Italian fascism.
1t should serve a warning and challenge
to the whole American working class. Coopera-

The drive of Wall Street interests against the

of the general drive against the entire working

Well! 1t seems that England, which got so
excited over the pope's charge that religion
was prosecuted in Soviet Russia had some up
the sleeve herself.
For now comes a courageous spirit, or rather
spiritualist, from the Labor" party, Mr.. T.
w. Kelly, who up on his feet in the House Of
Commons and declares that some members of
parliament" are spirtuaIsts but because the
law is against spiritualsts, any one of em may
be put in the stocks in the local market place
and jailed for year besides
Now just why didn't the pope get excited
about that, instead Of raising such stink over
the holy" kulaks in Soviet Russia? Somehow,
we kinda think that the pope and the labor"
party are both crooks.

A LII over the world the renegades from Com
~ munism are uniting their forces more and
more completely together, and at the same mo-
ment connecting themselves up more openly
with the social fascists, and even directly with
the open bourgeois parties. 1t is of interest to
revolutionary workers to take note of the re-
cent development OF the LoveStone and Cannon
renegade groups in the United States.
Upon the occasion Of the setback suffered
by ths Msrtns Workers Union on the Phila-
deIphia waterfront, these two renegade groups

Their progress in this move towards united

effort to split the marine workers union was
assisted by the Rev. Norman Thomas. We had
the opportunity to read a document Of the
American Fund for Public Service which records
that Norman Thomas "is very much interested"
in the renegade splitting group, and has himself
raised the question of providing them with
money from the American Fund. 1t is entirely
understandable why Mr.. Thomas is so very much
interested and himself takes the initiative to
provide them with money for their disruptive
work in the Marine Workers Union. For long
time Mr.. Gitlow and Mr.. Thomas have been
competing for the honor of leading the fight

From forthcoming book Facts for Workers'J
without the foreign born workers the ire
mendous expansion of American industry which
marked the past century would have been iinpos-
sble. From 1920 to 1920 nearly 100000 i'm
migrants made America their home. They were
given the hardest and most dangerous work, at
the longest hours and for the lowest pay. THEIR
lack of acquaintance with the language and the
institutions of the country made them easy vic
Tins to extortion and abuse. Acquiring political
rights was made difficult for them.
At the time of the 1920 Census, 1891 900 per-
sons, or 1872 per cent of the population at that
time, were foreign born. They came from prac-
tically every nation on the globe, including the
Orient and South America. Fourteen countries
