Lacks OratOriCaI Ability.

Mr.. CouZens is perhaps Temperament
tally the most vehement of the lot.
His capacity for indignation is a fiery
furnace. If he had the vocabulary of
Senator Borah, he would be the Sem
ate'S most arousing progressive orator.
He Is no orator at all and, perhaps,
therefore more dangerous to the sena-

indignation into the quiet, detailed de-
velopment of impending legislation for
the moral improvement of power COM

Mr.. CouzenS every year gets more and
more respect from his colleagues in the
Senate and shows no sign of allowing
his age to abate the progressive enthusi-
asms of his youth. A new party that
gained him would gain a triumph, If
not a treasure.
Mr.. Pinchot long ago evidenced a
complete willingness both to Join new

his private and public aspects is one
of the most astonishing paradoxeS OF

Join the international Workers
Order

along the line of the class struggle.
The International Workers Order is a friend
to everything that is vital, militant, brave and
hopeful in the labor world. 1t is an outspoken
opponent of the Labor msleaders, the Com
pany Unionists, the Socialists who have be-
trayed their socialism, the Laborists who help
Capitalism suppress the labor masses. 1t is
a friend of the Soviet Union where the work.
ers are building up Socialism
At the same, however, there is room in the
International Workers Order for every worker
who recognizes the necessity for the working
class to defend its interests against Capt.
alism.
There are close to 1000 members now in the
International Workers Order who have passed
the doctors examinations. The Order has made
it its task to have no less than 10000 men,
bers by the goth of July.
The International Wor',ers Order now func-
.ons as legally recognized Fraternal Insur-
ance Organization The international Workers
Order appeals to all working men and work
ing women to join it and help build up the
new Workers Stronghold.
Admits Workers of All Nations.
The International Workers Order admits
workers of all languages, of every national
origin. 1t is not specific Jewish organization.
1t is what it's name implies: an organization
where every branch may use its own language,
but where all are bound together by the In
trenational Unity of the working class
Amidst the hard and bitter struggles con-
Quoted by the working class in every realm;
at the time of unemployment misery, starva-
ton, and severe prosecutions TO the Labor
Movement; at the time when one Wall Street
crash follows another and the whole founda-
ton of capitalism is weakened and shaken, at
the time of sharpened conflicts between the
capitalist states and of the broad mass strug-
giles of the colonial peoples for their liberation
from imperialism-at such time the Inter-
national Workers Order steps into the labor
world as friend, and aid, co-worker on
the line of the class struggle.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-25

THE International Workers Order has now OBJ
tanned a permanent Charter. The Interna-
tional Workers Order can function as a frat
ernal insurance organization. The National
Office is already paying benefits and other
aid to which the membership is entitled.
We now appeal to every class conscious
working man and working women with our ap-
peal to join one International Workers Order.
Our order is fraternal Organization 1t
provides the membership with sick benefit,
death benefit, medical aid and other means of
mutual aid. At the same time, however, it
does not close its eyes to the fundamental
interests of the working class. 1t is intimately
connected with all the workers struggles. 1t
is, itself, part of the Proletarian Class Front.
The International Workers Order is vitality
interested in the political struggles of the
working class against Capitalism 1t supports
every political undertaking that mobilizes the
working class against Capitalism.
The International Workers Order is not an
economic organization in the strict sense of
the word. It's direct task is insurance work.
At the same time, however, it is vitality in
terested in the economic struggles of the work
ing class against it's exploiters, and it sup
ports the organizations and The workers, econo-
mic struggles aiming at improving the situa-
ton of the workers and finally freeing the
working class from capitalist rule.
Sick and Death Benefits.
The International Workers Order is frat
ernal organization for sick and death benefits,
at the same time, however, it cares extensively
for the cultural interests Of its members.
The International Workers Order conducts
cultural activities among its members and
branches on broad scale. The Order is or
ganizing a publishing house, it begins the
publication of a magazine, it organizes study
groups, it sends out written lectures and out
lines for discussions social topics; it mo-
bilizes squad of lecturers to tour the country,
it establishes connections with the non-partisan
workers schools and it plans to unite under its
wings every cultural organization, proceeding

By A. HARRIS

MANY comrades who accept the idea that the
HA class struggle is reflected in sport activities
remain in doubt as to the truth of the line
But the fact that the bourgeoisie sponsors, de-
velops and subsidies sport activities contains
more than a reflection of the class struggle.
For the capitalist, under the guise of being in
terested in the physical well-being of his en-
ployees, succeeds in regimenting large groups
of workers into athletic groups for no other
purpose than ideologically and physically pre-
pairing them to slaughter their fellow workers
of other countries in the coming imperialist
war;
Among workers who still have some illusions
about capitalism, bourgeois sports provide
barren field in which they may experience the
feeling of winning" and "rising'-the SYM
bolic fulfilment of the indvdualistic hopes of
many backward American workers. By ma
ture of being picked for teams, or athletic
groups, such workers may feel that they have
been lifted into special category which, al
though in relation to the industry that exploits
them, is in direct contrast to the monotonous
manner in which they must slave for living.
Bourgeois sports are an attempt to create
"good feeling" "a social atmosphere" between
employer and employee, which may temporarily
obscure the fact that the boss and the worker
are enemies. They divide the energies of the
worker, divert his attention from the revolu-
tionary problems which confront his class.

Workers and Bourgeois Sports

They strengthen the development of groups
from his job, is an effort to make him function
in organic harmony with the factory or indus
try that exploits him during his working time.
The worker sees some underhand tactic in
every friendly advance which the boss makes
in his direction. But this smelling a rat"
process is not enough. 1t must stimulate his
curiosity for the purpose of being able to ex-
plain to his fellow worker the real nature of
the destructive monster which lies in wait be-
hind the smoke-screen gesture of the boss
good will!'
Aside from baseball, football, and other
teams connected with the various industries,
there are city and national bourgeois sport
groups such as the YM.C.A., the Amateur
Athletic Association, the intercollegiate Asso-
citation. One has merely to consult the man.
uals of these organizations in order to learn
the names of the "fat angels" which substitute
them and form their directorates. By bourg-
eoise sports we mean all phases of athletic
activity sanctioned by the boss and that bureau
of capitalism the State, which furnishes him
with gunboats, labor sluggers, police forces,
forgers and A. F. of L. labor traitors.
Bourgeois sports are military training groups
which drill without guns. They develop mass
obedience-the kind that is favorable to the
war-plans Of the boss They make for quick
mobilization when the bugle sounds.

BY B. D. AMIS.


THE masses of Negro workers in the U.S.A.
and other colonial countries who have been
super-exploited for centuries by the white rul
ing class, readily gave an ear to the 'ttuent'
and eloquent" phrases of Marcus Carney
about ten years ago. Garvey came at time
when the masses were seething with discon-
tent.
The Negro workers, fooled into entering into
the world wal, gave their blood to help main
tain capitalism. But the effect of going to
other imperialist countries had its reaction
among the Negro workers. Treated and adored
as heroes abroad because they were loyal fight
ers, fighting for what they knew not, the Ne
gro workers expected upon their return home
to be given better consideration Because they
had helped to maintain capitalist democracy,
they expected to be served as true sons of
supposed democratic republic. But instead, seq
regation, the worst forms of race hatred, lynch
ings and open insults (while still in uniform}
greeted them. The result was that the labo,
hating bosses who breed lynchings, segregation.
etc., to keep the workers divided laid the fire
for race riots which occur throughout the
country.
Close to these events came Garvey with his
visionary plans to establish nation in Africa
to protect Negro workers and to build large
groes How could this dream come true? Only
through an extensive collection of millions of
dollars. At first Garvey aroused the militant
spirit in the masses; he planted the seed of
revolution. But when he began to organize seq
regated visions, put on dues paying basis
with he and his sub officials receiving a major
ity of the finances, he changed the revolution
airy program In place of a program of struggle
he substituted one to make peace. He became
reactionary.
Preachers Fleece Workers.
Jack-leg preachers and many worthless char
acters with smooth-flowing tongues were given
an opportunity to fleece the rank and file
workers All kinds of illusions were advanced.
Property must be bought, business enterprises
started and trade with oppressed colonial coun-
tries for which ships were purchased, had to
be established. Not to be excluded were the
enormous salaries of the newly-created Off
Gals The entire machinery was oiled and
set in motion
Two hundred million dollars was collected
and squandered by the crooks Today the lead
ers of the organization are asking for the
vast sum of $60O,000,000. The result is that
the members have become dissatisfied. Split
after split has occurred.
At the convention last summer in Jamaica
many attended with the idea that a general
house cleaning would take place. But Garvey
supported the crooks by keeping them in office.
Garvey Takes Advantage of Exploited People
How plainly does this reveal that Garvey is
a petty bourgeois adventurer, taking advantage
of exploited people. The theory of establish
ing black republic as we'll as the opportunism
of Garvey must be exposed by our Party. Some

"A Fragment of an Empire" is
the new attraction at the Cameo
Theatre opening today. This is the
first American showing. Produced
in U. S. S. R. by Sovkino, directorial
credit for the production is given to
Frederick Emler and chief acting
honors to a Russian star, Fedor
Nikitin. He plays the role of Ser
geant Filiminov, a shell-shocked
war veteran, who returns to his
homeland after a lapse of years and
finds the entire order of things
changed.
Not only has the physical topog-
raphy of his native city undergone
transformation, but there is such
a drastic readjustment in social
conditions, due to the revolution,
that he is utterly bewildered.
Photography and acting contribute
to paint a very vivid portrait of the
man and his mental condition under
these circumstances. 1t makes an
unusual film of this imported
photodrama.

to leave by noon tomorrow.
The union will maintain its head
quarters at all the struck shops.
At the Leo Shoe Co., Brooklyn,
the workers have struck against the
bosses and the treachery of the
Boot and Shoe Workers Union. This
reaetionary union has called no To-
cal meeting since it got the shop
over a year ago, so the workers
called a shop meeting, deposed the
union shop chairman and elected one
of their own. The boss and the
Boot and Shoe Workers refused to
recognize him, the boss fired work
ers, and 81 are on strike and have
asked the I.S.W.U. to lead them. The
Boot and Shoe called the police in,
and has told the strikers they can
not work again until they pay $50
fines.

which by Jumping all classes of war

each nation as to what kind of ships
it will build that tonnage in. France
is anxious to retain a large sub
marine fleet to protect her colonies
from being stolen by other imperial
isms' fleet in the Mediterranean
as well as cruisers for more distant
colonies. Those who want to steal
French colonies, naturally wish to
limit Frances plans for retaining
them, and hence to limit its quota
Of the ships it wants.
Stimson also received the press
at st. James Palace, but still nothing
other than that the conference was
progressing"
How secretly it is progressing
is shown by the "private converse
lions" being held. The Italians
Conferred" with Macdonald, but
nobody knows what about. The
French and British conferred
twice, but neither told what was
said. Stinson "chatted with" the
head of the Italian delegation, and
the only thing that came out of it
was the remark of the Italian that
Italy favored U. S. Imperialism
ideas on freedom of the seas" and
for immunity for "foodships in time
of war" Grandi later gave radio
talk to America, with nothing OF
moment except boosts for Mussolini.
Macdonald, Stimson, and Dwight
w. Morrow, are among those who
are leaving "for the country" late
today, and it was announced that no
more meetings would be held till
Monday morning. Thus the confer
ence seems to be just where it was
when it started.
