Mr.. Morrow Will Save God

Anyhow, such is the only hope for the Ale
mighty, according to the opinion of John Bar
rett. You may not know John Barrett but he
is an important guy. Doubly important, we
may say; since like DR., Jeykel Jekyel, Jyekel,
Jykel ooh, heck, how do you spell it?) and Mr..
Hyde, John Barrett 8 taWo persons all by him.
self
He is prominent as director Of the Pam
American Union the organization of the Mon
roe Doctrine in which all the Latin American
republics are supposed to be organized as
equals" but with Yankee imperialist direct
ing" them.
On the other hand. Mr.. Barrett is on the
payroll of the U. S. State Department-doubt
less learning how the Latin Americans shall be
directed" But on the occasion of which we
speak, Mr.. Barrett was talking as director Of
the Pan-American Union. He might upset
diplomats if he spoke as an employee of the
U. S. State Department,
sWe have to make this distinction and take
space doing it, because Mr.. Barrett brought in
certain trio; that is Hoover, Mr., Dwight Nor
row, and God Mr.. Barrett favors the renom-
nation of Hoover, he told the Newark XII
wants Club in speech there May 81.
But if Hoover is not to be candidate, then
only NIT. NlOTTOW, WHO IdIHeQ JIle N6AlCdH Cdpl~
talist class to cat out of Yankee imperialist
hands, can fill the bill. And it's big job which
Barrett lays out for Dwight Morrow, He says:
THE future of our civilization, of our form
of government, yes of our God, depends upon
the solidarity of the Western Hemisphere If
the program and plan of Russia are success
full, it may mean the end of our system of
government, of our civilization and of our
God"
Well, that's large order to save God, whoss
very existence now seems to rest on the fral
shoulders of Dwight Morrow partner of j
Pierpont Morgan.
1t seems that the speech Of Litvinoff at Gem
eva, and the growing resentment in capitaliS
Europe against American dumping. has caused
this revealing speech of Mr. Barrett, who, being
a second-rater among diplomats blurts out
what his superiors are thinking. And they are
thinking that they are in hell of fix. More
they are panicky.

THE revolutionary labor movement, and the
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League, in par
ticular, continually expose the role Of the Lee
gion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the
same as the class struggle requires the expo
sure Of the American Federation of Labor. The
A. L. and its spiritual annex, the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars in fact have an influence upon
the development and course of the class strug-
gle in the u. S. A. hardly less than the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The Legion serves the interests Of the bosses
with an archaic Interpretation Of patriotism
This patriotism implies that it is treachery to
fight against the capitalist system, to raise
rebellious voice against oppression and expolta-
ton by the bosses.
According to the psychology OF these rack
eteertpg patriots the world began It's real

At Albany, the other night Harold Nelson

The meeting was broken up by the cops. Get

Another World War veteran, Stanley Sinko-

titled "Christianism and Communism" He was
unemployed. So Judge Regain told him:

ashamed of yourself for reading such literature

bosses at its best, appeals are made to the ex \
servicemen's vanity, they are acclaimed by the
cunning scheming boss heroes nice obedient
country and are now even defending the great
est American insttution"-the capitalist sys-
tenn, that keeps this country snugly and safely
as private property of the ruling class.
AS aforesaid, nothing can or should be done
about the concentration of wealth in the hands
of few and misery for the majority, since the
Bible and the American constitution have not
said anything about it. The forefathers knew
all with the help of God. Charity solves all
problems of the poor, according to these foun-
tains of indispensable wisdom.
The primary mission of the Legion and v. F.
w. is the fight, openly and secretly, as simple
savage and hypocrite, of the filthy battle of
American capital against labor. But to dis
guise these brutal ends of savage attacks on
tormented working class, a smoke screen is
built around the racketeering leaders of the A.
L.. and the " F. W.
They pretend to be concerned whole lot
about the disabled veterans, and in line with
the Bible teachings there is a great field for
hypocritical charity on the part Of the exploit
ing bosses and the corrupt politicians OF the A.

about able bodied veterans. They are taken
care of by the capitalist system of economic
slavery. But the unemployed veterans have
succeeded partly in forcing demand for a
bonus upon the legion. not quite In line With it,

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-05-27

DURING the World War over 400 organiza-
tons were formed to fix prices in various
retail and wholesale trades, particularly in the
food industries, such as vegetables, milk, butter,
eggs, etc. The capitalists who were interested
in forcing their prices up made wholesale use
Of gangsters insthe process. Independent dealers
and sellers were bombed or murdered. Others
we're terrorized into becoming part of the price
fixing organization Once in, of course, they
became rabid in their desire to wipe out all
other competitors through the use of gunner
A new name was developed for this type of
business, 'racketeering" Soon after the rise
of the American Federation of Labor, the mis-
leaders developed the use of gangsters and
gangster methods against the rank and file. At
first this method of terrorizing the workers
and keeping the A. F. of L. unions within the
bounds so desired by capitalism to protect the
American institutions which Samuel Gompers
loved so we'll was developed on a small scale.
1t came into full flower after the war with
postwar building BOOM and now is an integral
part of the entire A. F. of L. officialdom 1t
is part of the equipment of the socialist leaders
In the trade unions where they hold forth such
as in the AmaIgamated Clothing Workers, the
furriers and the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, in reality company union
manned by socialists and gangsters
skinny Madden
William 2 Foster in his book "Misleaders of
Labor traces the growth of gangsterism in the
American Federation Of Labor Unions He tells
of the rise of Skinny" MARTINI Madden, the
earliest of the gangsters and racketeers to enter
the trade union field. Skinny Madden laid the
basis for organized graft in the Chicago building
trades, collecting graft from union members and
building contractors alike Madden was fol-
lowed by Simon ODonnell who taught con-
tractors how to add 20 per cent to their total
bill for graft to the union gangsters who con-
trolled the building trades unions.
In the Boss Political Machines
All these leeches in the trade union move
ment spread out to broader fields. The capt.
talist politicians found them valuable allies
and alliances were made with both the republican
and the democratic machines.
This type of gangster-union leader in the A.
F. of L. reached its highest expression in the
person Of big Tim" Murphy. During 1917-1s
Murphy turned his hand to politics. He was a
democratic representative in the Illinois State
Legislature. Previously in 1912 he had gained
his gangster experience for the Hearst news
paper in Chicago, in the war between the Chi
cago Tribune and the Chicago Examiner a
Hearst paper, for control Of the morning news
paper field. The Chicago Tribune, to keep out
its rival which had Just entered the morning
field hired army of gunner to kill news
wagon drivers or newsboys who dared to sell
the opposing paper Hearst retssted by en-
poying his own army of gunner 1t was in
this battle that Big Tim" Murphy learned the
same Gangsters flocked In and we're imported.

big Tim" Murphy Arrives
Tim Murphy, like Rothstein of New York,
among other things, turned his hand to big
robberies. He engineered the hold-up of the
Dearborn Street mail station, netting him $685.,
900, He controlled five or six unions, several of
which he created solely to squeeze contributions
from the workers and graft from the employ
ers Murphy himself told how his type of leader
in the post war period ran the unions: They
don't use boxing gloves in the labor movement"
he boosted, they use Smith and Wessons"
Murder was Murphy's side-line After his release
from an accidental Jail term he was greeted
with open arms by the Chicago capitalist poll
tcians at City Hall. The Chicago Tribune de-
scribed this reception as follows:
"When Murphy was released from jail in the
Enright case he was received with open arms
at the City Hail. where he went to CALL followed
by troop Of admirers" Among those admirers
were judges, assistant states attorneys and al
dermen He fed them at sumptuous banuuets
and paid them handsomely Some time before
his death he boosted of his money making
prowess. I'm still pretty much OF a kid, but
I made million, and spent million, and
figure tn make another million before they
plant me"
He Didn't Make H.
Capone bullet stopped him at the half
million mark. The gangster business was being
consolidated with big banking and capitalist
support.
Gangsterism among the niseaders In the
trade unions in Chicago is not an exception
IN n 1u it1pto H. 81
description of the connection between the un-
derworld and the upperworld is just striking
Illustration. Fosters book gives plentiful de-
tails of other cities. Possibly conditions are
somewhat worse in Chicago" Foster writes, but
not much. The Chicago building trades business
agents may be a little quicker on the trigger,
or, because Of the greater strength of their
unions, somewhat more ruthless In their graft
ing But their confreres in the building trades
in other cities also let no grass grow under
their feet"
While the Fitzpatrick Nockles faction in the
Chicago Federation of Labor won office in 1905
in struggle against the gangster skinny"
Madden, it had developed so far on the path
charted by Madden himself that by 1880 it
engineered the killing of Hertzel Weizenberg,
member of the revolutionary trade union group
In the painters union. WeZenberg was beaten
to death by Fitzpatrick Nockles men because
he distributed leaflets of the Trade Union Unity
League calling on the painters to drive out the
gangsters aligned with the bosses, struggle

Crosby vs Naugy
 Tonight in Borough

Crosby High schools courtmen's one chance to show anything which might keep them in the running for state high school basketball honors will be afforded the Schofield shoot CTS tonight. All they have to do is knock of Pete Fo1ey's Naugatuck combine in their own back yard which is some job when you con- slider the fact that Naugy is lead ing the state race and have not yet been beaten aside from a forfeited game in Bridgeport.
 At any rate, the Blue and White are set to make their dying bid for 1891 hoop fame, and if they miss out. 1t will be hard to figure them having even an outside chance for first place in the Naugatuck Valley League. Crosby has dropped five games out of 13 starts which gives them about 800 mark while Naugy is shooting 1000 or close to it. The reserve teams of the two schools will play the preliminary game.

Captain A. r Oswals and his
crew OF highway patrolmen today
renewed threats to throw their en-
tire ticket books at drivers of auto
mobiles which travel merrily along
Imperial Valley highways without
benefit of tail lights.
The campaign against defective
tail lights is an offshoot of the
larger campaign being conducted
by the California highway Patrol
against automobile accidents.
Captain oswalt asserted today his
force is out to establish a record in
keeping accidents in Imperial coun-
ty to minimum. Since lack of a
tail light is the contributing factor
in great many accidents. state
traffic officers have been instruct
ed to issue citations to all drivers
whose back end illumination is our
of order.
