Would he be a Communist? It is

with all his contempt for the So

Nevertheless, I ventured to ask

order to break it. But there is no
power to break the workers strug-
giles. The Greens, the Wolls, the
Lewises and Shahrenbergs won't
stop the workers progress. The

tering ever more powerfully the
ship of capitalism. The ship will
sink and with it the opportunism,
meanness, betrayals OF those who
have the sad courage to speak in
the name of the working class
whom they betrayed" But, we
must add, it will go down only if
we batter to pieces these props of
boss rule.
1t seems as if Tom Mooney is adj
dressing an audience. His eyese
are full of fire. He speaks not to
me, but to large crowd some
where-perhaps in this country,
perhaps across the seven seas. My
thoughts Involuntary drift towards
the Soviet Union. I cannot help
asking him what he thinks about
the land of the proletarian dicta-
torship. Here, too, his reply is
quick and decisive:
1.-THE Soviet Union is the biggest
thing the working class has
achieved anywhere; it is pointing
the road for the workers all over
the world"
Loves Soviet Union.
I wish to know what facet of the
Soviet activities has particularly
impressed Mooney. He thinks
second before he replies:
ut is the energy, the vitality, the
will-to-do, and the fact that they
have the energy to undertake and
to accomplish great things. This
thrills me even at this distance"
Mooney relates to me a very
touching episode of a letter coming
to him from a Red Army division
in Siberia near the River Irtysh.
Hard working men, sons of the
working class, they sent Mooney
their greeting, telling him that
they are preparing during their
Red Army service to be true build
ers of their Socialist fatherland and
that they are organizing in that far
away village a section Of the Mopr
UL.DD.
mo letter of greetings ever moved
me as much as this human voice
from the wilds of a far away coun-
try" says Mooney. Nothing en-
couraged me as much as this voice
from my friends across ten thou
sand miles Of water and land"
Mooney has never forgotten, he
tells me, that it was the Russian
workers who by their demonstra-
lions saved him from the gallows
in 1917.
1t was time to quit. The guard
was becoming impatient. A firm
handclasp, pat ON the shoulder,
one last glance and the interview
is over.
Good luck, comrade."
AS you pass from the front court
of the prison you would hardly
guess that it is one of the Bastilles
of king capital. It looks like a
castle. Gravel walks, trees and
flowers. A murmur Of the brook
nearby. Cleanliness and lots of
air. One hillside is all covered
with blanket of red blossoms.
From the midst Of the blossoms
rises the observation tower. Inside
the tower there is a guard with
machine gun.
Behind the elegant facade, behind
the broad front drive, behind the
sham of cleanliness and peace there
lies the real prison with its drab-
ness, its sitting odor, its decay and
its inhuman oppression.

my expulsion from the Hungarian
branch, but the latter refused.
Mind you, the capitalist court could
not trump up case against me at
that time. I was forced to declare
not guilty. but in the eyes of the
Socialist Party leaders I was guilty
before I was ever examined Why?
Because I was more militant than
the Socialist leaders. I harbored
revolutionary ideas. When I was
later arrested on the frame-up, the
Socialist Party leaders tried to have
me transferred from the Hungarian
branch into an English-speaking
branch so as to be able to expel me
from the Party. As soon as the
monster Of capitalist justice had me
in its crutches, the Socialist Party
tried to get rid of me in every pos
sible way. This will give you an
idea of how I stand with the So
cialist Party. And don't you forget
that the Socialist Party is now
less radical than it was 20 years
ago."
"And how about the PRESENT." I
insisted.
Mooney smiled. When he smiles
he looks much younger and less
hardboiled.
Have you heard about the So
cialist Party in Germany and in
England? They were in power
there for some time. What did
they do for the working class?
They created new exceptional laws
and lowered the standards of liv-
ing of the workers. And who was
won by the Socialist rule? Not the
workers, but the capitalist class. It
follows that the Socialist Parties of
those countries don't serve the
working class. The difference be-
tween the Socialists of this coun-
try and the Socialists abroad is
that here they have not been yet
called to power. If this were the
case, they would act here in the
very same way as their comrades
act in tina European countries"

OOMFIXERS are the most skilled
and highest paid workers in cot
ton mills-the "aristocrats" of the
mills--yet their wages have been
cut proportionately with other
workers, declares the Labor Research
Association. The following indicates
what has been happening to them
recently in Fall River, according to
reports received by L. R. A. These
cuts are only the latest in a long
series of wage slashes.
Chase Mills cartwright Mill No.

to $24.50. At the same time the
number of looms tended by each
worker was increased from 80 to So.
Some SO loomfixers of this mill
went on strike, May 81, against this
cut; 100 weavers stopped work the
following day.
Bourne Mills also cut wages Is

the conservative loomfixers' union,
hearing a rumor to this effect,
obligingly called the mill manage

rumor. When told it was so, he
replied: well, there's room for dis
cussion on that point" The cut
was later applied to the weavers
without protest from the union Of

unanimously against the cut.

WTELL the American workers, tell
the workers of the world that
July 20 is the 10th anniversary of
my arrest. 1t is my opinion that
demonstrations should be held
everywhere on that fateful date"
This is how Tom Mooney in
structed me when saw him in the
San Quentin prison early in May.
There was a youthful CLEAN in the
eyes of the old fighter.
He does not really look old. He
is full of vigor. He is a dynamo of
energy. He is SO busy with the
world at large and his own fight for
liberation that he has no time to
allow the gloom of the prison to
settle on his mind. He is one of
those fighters who never give in.
II am the center of great world

prison is perhaps worth more for
the working class than it would
have been otherwise" ~

versed in all of the intricacies of
political campaigning, and he is
drawing closer to the International
Labor Defense. He has learned

able to create a real mass move
ment around the Mooney issue. 1t
is only the LID. which is mob
ilizing the masses on a national
and International scale. On the
eve of my visit to San Quentin his
mother participated in a Commu-
mist demonstration in San Fran
cisco. 1t was perhaps the biggest
demonstration held in that city for
the liberation of Tom Mooney.
Looking at the vivid face, at the
animated expression, at the very
youthful eyes of this rudy, middle
aged man, one can hardly believe
he has spent nearly 16 years be-
hind bars. This irldomitable fighter
is now doomed to peeling potatoes
and cleaning vegetables for the Of
ficers' mess in the anteroom of the
Mushroom, where dozens Of people
wash and battle, where streams of
water run continually, making the
atmosphere hot and muggy, and
where there is no window or any
other opening. 1t is in this atmos-
phere that the innocent Mooney
spends several hours every day. In
his spare time he is allowed to read
and write letters. But the few
meager privileges he enjoyed some
time ago were taken away from him
after his open letter to Governor
Rolf.
The state of California knows
how to be magnanimous. In that
letter Mooney called Rolf the chair
man OF the executive committee of
the California dictatorship of the
capitalist class. Dictatorship of
capitalism" says Mooney, "is not
only brutal and cynical, but also
ignorant and foolish"
I was particularly interested to
learn about MONEYS attitude to-
wards the various parties. How
do you stand with the Socialists?" :
I asked him.
His eyes narrowed and there was
a dagger-like sharpness in their
steady gaze.
Workers Betrayed BY Socialists.

you this much. 1 was Socialist
