By LEO THOMPSON

U0UR own most honorable representative"
" from Wheeling, w. Va. Mr.. Carl G. Bach
mann, member of the infamous Fish Commits
sion, has almost overnight achieved senSa
tional notoriety as a professional anti-Soviet
racketeer through his bombastic ISLANDERS and
barrage of lies about so-called "forced labor"
supposedly existing in the Soviet Union Every
where throughout the nation in most of the
leading industrial centers, over nationwide
radio broadcasts, Mr.. Bachmann has delivered
vicious TRADE Of calumnies against the first
Workers and Farmers Government in the
world. Together with his con1rade- in-arms, Mr..
Ham Fish, our MIR. Bachnann has become
worthy "hero" of the Daughters of the Amer
lean (counter) Revolution, which consider him
as 'the hottest of holy apostles" of 'free Amer
lean labor" Professional pay-triots throughout
the United States hail Bachmann as one of-'tte
best representatives of Americanisn1," ETC.
Undoubtedly there are still many misled and
uniformed American workers who believe what
Mr. Bachmann and Mr. Fish say about forced
labor" in the U. S. S. r. In the columns of our
Daily Worker there have appeared numerous ex-
posures of lies about forced labor" which are
peddled around by Messrs. Bachmann, Fish &
Co. But in this article want to bring to the
attention of the readers of the Daily Worker
and the Communist press in general few very
interesting facts about Mr.. Bachmann and
forced labor in Mr., Bachmanns own congress
Sonal (first) district of West Virginia.
To most of the workers Of Wheeling, this gem
tlenan has been long ago exposed and discred-
tied in all his nakedness as one of the leading
figures in the notorious bootleggng prostitution
gambling racketeering underworld of this city.
For example, on Dec. 81 1925, a building To-
Gated on 1912 Main St, Wheeling was destroyed
by fire, The firemen uncovered huge 150-
gallon triple-still apparatus, one of the largest
whisky distilleries ever discovered In this state
There is nothing particularly unusual in this
fact alone, but the remarkable thing about it
is that the building and the property was owned
by hone other than Mr.. Charles F. Bachnann
and his son, the anti-Soviet congressman. The
Bachmanns tried to hide their direct connec-
tons with this bootegging racket by fake alias,
Bill varisco" which was even too raw for the
capitalist Wheeling Register" to swallow. But
because of the dominating influence of the
Bachfnanns in local politics, nobody was ever
prosecuted and the whole case was hllshed up
because any further exposures may have proven
disastrous TO Carl G. Bachmann's high political
ambitions
SO, don't you see workers?-"our 100 per cent
American red-baiter" turns out To be cheap
by shyster lawyer, crooked politician and
professional red-baiting anti-Soviet racketeer
But this is not all

at the National Federation of Women's Clubs,
whose convention was held at Phoenix, Arizona,
April 20 to May Q.
One outstanding dame coming as delegate
was the wife of the Governor of Alabama. the
Lord High Executioner of the nine Negro children

This set the tone OF the convention of cap

Not to be beaten by the male capitalists In
hypocrisy, the old girls resolved Ito advocate"
unemployment insurance. But you'll notice that
they Will be SO busy advocating persecution OF
the only ones who fight for unemployment in
surance, that they'll "haye no time" to keep their
husbands awake nights demanding that they
really establish unemployment insurance.
These ladies' together with the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, nearly persuade us
that the amusing custom of the founding faith
ers' of this country of ducling the founding
mothers in the horse-pond as a cure for gem
eral cussedness, might we'll be revived by an Inc
dignant working class; after they take over the

We still want to know what connection this
murder had with Castor B. Means, U. S. secret

strangled to death, and that Castor B. Means
was once charged with strangling woman to

begin to get close to connecting a trusted agent

S'Precedent"
By Jorge

Some time ago we expressed the wish that
someone write real drama about the Mooney
Billings frame-up But we added that il had
to be done in a real class spirit and we were
suspicious of all highbrow playwrights who would
not submit to having their work revised BY
workers. We said so out of the sad experiences
with Gods of the tightening
Shortly afterWard, Sydney Harmon produesr
OF Precedent" wrote us about his producticss
of Precedent" and we suggested that he e.z
IN touch with the John Reed Club, which we
thought should organize a group of worker
reviewers that could give critical suggestions for
Improvement in advance Of the plays presenta-
Glon But Mr.. Harmon made no such move
Ine play as presented was written by some
lawyer OF liberal IDEAS but aside from revealing
the technique of frame-up falls flat There are
no masses, and the main hero is not even Tom
Mooney, but the embattled editor who takes up
his case, representing Fremont Older.
There is not word about the mass protest
OF the Russian workers. whose demands saved
Mooney and Billings from death and caused
President Wilson to Investigate" There is
nothing OF the shameful treachery of the A. F.
OF L. In other words, where we wished for
play that would dramatically reveal the whole
class character of the frame-up and stir every
auditor to feel the necessity of doing something
to free Mooney and Billings, Precedent does
exactly the opposite. 1t hides the class struggle
nature Of the case, and gives the auditors
feeling of passive helplessness-at the best Our
Judgment is confirmed by other workers, one
of whom writes as follows
Il have just seen the play written around
the Tom Mooney case, Precedent I have come
away feeling ten times more strongly how utterly
Intellectual this kind OF thing is, and that the
parlor-liberals who go to play like this Just
spend pleasant evening and get a little emo
tional excitement that makes their consciences
feel good-and that's the end of it,
ut makes clear to me that the parlor-pinks
are more dangerous that the out-and-out ere-
mics of the working-class; they provide such
plays as these which merely act as shock-ab-
sorbers, and give others like them chance to
dissipate their reluctant and forrnless awareness
that something is wrong with the capitalist
world.
"a parlor-libera1 goes to play like this, gets
kick out of it, and goes home feeling satisfied
that he has done something for Tom Mooney!
So if he was feeling bit stirred up about social
injustice, he feels he can now give his conscience
nice long rest"
Let anyone who aspires to write real drama
around Tom Mooney and Billings take note that
the field is yet to be touched And real drama
will do much to aid the fight for their freedom,
which is what we are after.
