Exile -theNeWAmey.
lCQn Tradition

FINANCE Capitalist America is building the
new American traditions. The old traditions
of rights, freedom, liberty, etc., have completely
disappeared with the Capitalization of the pow
er in the hands of a small financial group, and
even when in existence these rights have never
been applied to any real extent toward the
working masses.
Today the place of free land is taken by share
cropping, peonage, tenancy, and other forms of
slavery of the millions of poor Negro and white
farmers. In place of free speech and free as
samblage is the full freedom of the police and
fascist forces of the government to beat up gas
and Jail assembling workers and their speakers.
In place of the traditional" full dnner-pail
and the right to i've the right to starvation of
millions of working men, working women and
their children became the American tradition.
In place Of asylum for political exiles the exile
of political refugees takes place
To the growing misery, desperation and mill
fancy Of the toiling and unemployed masses,
wild white terror of the ruling class is the
answe
If the workers demand unemployment relief
or insurance the bosses call it "incting to riot"
and they have law against it. If the workers
strike against wage cuts, speed-up, unbearable
working conditions-the bosses call it criminal
syndicalsm" and they have law against It,
If the Eagro and white workers unite to fight
against starvation, lynchings, and deportations
the bosses call it "sedtion' and they have
law against it. If the Negro and white workers
organize themselves into fighting industrial
unions the bosses call it Indictment to insur-
rection" and they have law against it,
These steps, together with the frightful growth
in lynchings and with the great deportation
drive, are the basis Of the new American tradi-
tons.

Against Deportation Lynching and Discrimina-

eliminate irresponsible Finan-
cial Secretaries

Recently a membership book Of a comrade
came through the District office, in connection
with the transfer Of this comrade from Mil
waukee to another District This brought to
light condition which reflects how a nucleus
financial secretary should function and shows
up how the Section Financial Secretary fails to
enlighten or check up the nuclei Financial sec
retaries.
The book in question reads somthing like this:
Weeks No. 1, 2, 6 and in 1880 have no dues
stamps, but written in is paid Csc"
Weeks 5, 10, 81 and % have no stamps what
soever, just blank spaces.
Weeks 40, al, AZ and 40 have line through
them and 81 stamp pasted through the four
spaces, supposed to be equivalent to four stamps
at Csc.
From Nov there is not single stamp.
What does this show?
l. That the Financial Secretary Of the West
Allis unit either has no conception of the status
of a secretary (for which the Section is
sponsible) or the West Allis Secretary is guilty
of gross financial hooliganism and should be re-
moved.
e. The Nucleus Buro does not function or
this could not happen.
8. The Nucleus by accepting money without
FASTING stamps in exchange is guilty of steal
ing money from the Party
4. The Nucleus by this same procedure is not
getting credit for its dues paying members since
stamps are the basis of computation.
S. The Section Committee is responsible for
this situation by not calling regular meetings of
Nuclei Financial Secretaries and Furthermore by
not checking up each week the dues purchases
as compared with the membership and taking
steps to liquidate the discrepancy.
6. The Section Committee grants this COM
rade a transfer to District No. in Feb, 1881,
although he has not paid dues since the last
week in October This is against the Party rules.
These are few facts which should make Mil
waukee Section and the West Allis Nucleus shake
themselves up and give proper attention to fin
ances and dues

NOrmy Writes a Book

II would that mine enemy might write a
book" says some old classic. And darned if
Norman Thomas, chief of the social-fascist $50
cialist" party didn't write one. So we sighed,
thinking that we would have to write a review
of it. But, TO- and behold somebody else writes
it for u.s.
Like the Governor of North Carolina speak
ing--somowhat between love ana laughter-to
the Governor of South Carolina Lewis Gannett,
who also things he is socialist writes in the
capitalist paper the NJ Y. Herald Tribune, a
touching review. He opens up by saying:
Norman Thomas socialist candidate for Pres
ident Governor. Mayor and Congressman, has
written book stating his philosophy-'Americas
Way Out: A Program for Democracy We have
a horror of the word socialism in America and
Norman Thomas is the recognized leader Of his
party, yet there is nothing in this book which
is not advocated by members in good standing
Of both republican and democratic parties II
you could get their private thoughts on paper,
I suspect that Owen D. Young and Dwight w.
Morrow would approve more of what Norman
Thomas here says than would an orthodox
MARKHAM socialist. i" Then he goes on:
"Old-style MARKHAM socialism Mr.. Thomas fatty
rejects" And so on.
Then in the social pacifist magazine, edited
by dear friends of the Rev. Thomas it is said
that his book would ret be approved in Moscow,
but certainly would be endorsed by the British
labor" government which in the interest of
British imperialists is cutting wages at home and
nassacring national liberation fighters in India.
That's enough about the book to let you know
that you should not buy it.

This is Tom MONEYS own description of
the betrayal of Mooney and Billings by the
A. F. L. chieftains. In the last installment,
Mooney tells how the Labor Clarion official
organ of the San Francisco Labor Council,
edited by James w. Mullen, conducted propa-
ganda against Mooney from 1917, when it re-
pudiated the two and declared they did not
represent organized labor, on down to the time
of the prosecution witness MacDonald's recent
confession that he lied at the Mooney trial.

 The Republican has continually stated that Attorney Charles Sum- ma,. who quit the democratic party last year because he lost a job un- der the democrats, was to receive the appointment to the third prose- cutorship.

Now they must do so. But talk of Attorney Summa receiving the position is causing considerable comment. Without doubt, Judging from re- ports today, there will be others in the race,

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SHUTS
 ANOTHER HOUSE
Several Months Ago Five Fraternity Houses Were Closed Because of Some Liquor Parties

Ann Arbor, Mich, May 18.-(UP) The fraternity house of Delta Sig ma Epsilon at the University, of Michigan, was locked and vacant to- day, closed for the remainder of the school year because of an alleged liquor party" staged there last month. Fraternity officials said the house was closed by order of the na- tional officials.
 It was generally understood that the closing order resulted from com plaints to university authorities about a social affair held at the house April 24. The sudden exodus or the students was the first intima- ton that action had been taken against the chapter. Harold D. Coles, president of the alumni of the iocal chapter, admitted that the alumni had moved through national officials to close the house.
 ''The boys needed 2 warning" he said. :.
 Several months ago five fraternity houses were closed after city police raided them, found liquor and held SC students. The students were dis charged when they appeared in court, but university officials ordered that the house remain closed and the fraternities be suspended until next fall ---f

 Socially, MT Kelly was a charm ing gentleman. He always looked at the bright side of life and it was rare treat to talk with him on any subject. He gave literally for char ity, but few knew anything about his good works in this respect. Dur ing a dull period several years ago his clerks were instructed never to turn away anybody who asked a loaf of bread and said he had no money to pay for it.
 In addition to the baking business, MT Kelly took an active interest in other enterprises.

 Back at the night club for the third time, the young man pulled out pistol, fired once at Garbett, who was standing at the door, and then ran downstairs. At the foot of the stairs he met Patrolman Taylor, his way up. A bullet pierced the officers heart and he fell dead.
 Meanwhile the dance continued in the club, the merrymakers unaware of the shooting. Appraised of the tragedy, the orchestra leader urged his musicians to play louder and louder. Dancing continued for an hour.
