PARTY POLITICS ON WASHINGTON
HOLIDAY: IT'S EVERY MAN ON
HIS OWN SAYS BYRON PRICE
By BYRON PRICE

(Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington)
An excursionist landing in
Washington today after 9
six-month absence in Mars
would find few problems
harder to solve than this:
What has happened to the
old American institution
known as party politics."
The returning traveller would
read almost nothing on that sub
ject in the newspapers. He would
hear it mentioned seldom except in
specialized circles. With anoth-
err national campaign session about
to begin he would marvel to be-
hold republican and democratic
headquarters largely silent and in
active.
He would discover, if he looked
carefully, that politics is by no
means dead, although greatly
changed. If he penetrated great
deal Of surface confusion, he
would see that something which
might be termed personal poll
tics" had been substituted for the
previous brand of organized party
effort.
There probably is more of the
"eyery-man-for-himself' type of
politics in Washington today than
at any former time since the
present parties were founded.
Across Party Lines
e The degree in which Mr.. Roose-
welt himself is ION his own" is not
easily eomprehended.
He talked little about the par
ties during the 1882 campaign and
scarcely has mentioned them
since. It is well known that many
democratic leaders in congress dis
like to see republicans in the
cabinet, are dissatisfied with the
patronage situation and have sup
ported the Roosevelt legislative
program with reservations.
These leaders will go along if
the Presidents personal program
is success, and his personal pop
Iuiarity increases. They will try
to reorganize the party according
to their own ideas if he fails.
Nor is there anything depend
able about Mr.. RooseveIt's hold on
that other wing of his supporters,
the insurgent republicans. They
demonstrated that when every one

program.
Whether he holds them in the
long run depends on no democratic
party program, but on his own
liability to perpetuate an ''ad-
ministration party" made up OF
both democrats and republicans
under his personal leadership.

Social Rebel Party
Joins Communist
rty in Spain

MADRID, Feb. %, CBy MaD -
The National Congress OF the Social
Revolutionary Party of Spain took
place in Madrid on the 18th, Goth,
and 21st of February. Prior to the
congress press discussion took place
between Balbontin, a deputy and the
best known leader of the Spanish So
cial reYolutionaries, and the Commu-
mist Party concerning the character
of the Spanish revolution and the
tasks Of the working class. The re-
suit was that Balbontin declared
himself in agreement with the stand
point of the Communist Party and
declared that he would raise the
question at the congress Of his party.
Sixty-two delegates were present at
this congress representing 5000 mem
bers. Balbontin addressed the con-
greSs and called for the dissolution of
the party, its members TO go over to
the Communist Party in body. A
resolution TO this effect was adopted
with SO against ID votes.

Of men and women workers together

ployers and their government officials
III the textile states.
In Massachusetts,, for example
where the first labor laws were intro
duced after hard-fought strikes q
hundred years ago, Governor Joseph
3. Ely proposed in a public address
in November, 1882, that ali state la
Dor laws be suspended. He asked
for arbitrary power to set aside the
law against night work for women
in Massachusetts textile mills and
the other laws which limit the work
ing hours for women and children.
Back Of Governor Ely III this cam
paign stand, of course, the MasSa-
ChuSetts textile magnates, many of
whom own mills not only in that
state but also in the South. One OF
these employers, Henry r. Kendell,
president Of the anti-miOn Kendall
Co., with cotton mills North and
South, has openly proposed what he
calls moratorium on labor laws"
In protesting against Governor
Ely's support Of the mill owners cam
paign, committee of the National
Textile Workers Union told the gov
ernor that he personally desired to
protect the owners profits, since he
himself would gain financially as an
interested legal adviser for the Pacific
Mills of Lawrence, one Of the largest
textile concerns in the country, with
branch plants in the South. Later,
Governor Ely was forced to withdraw
his proposals temporarily, due to the
activities by the Textile Workers
Union, which aroused mass protest.
We must recognize the fact that the
forced retreat of the attack will be-
gin with greater vigor as soon as
there is any slowing down OF protest
action by the workers.
But without waiting to suspend
such labor laws as there are, in
creasing numbers of employers are
openly defying all laws. Women tex
tile workers are forced to do overtime
work, in violation Of the legal code,
in Pennsylvania, in Connecticut, in
New Jersey and in other textile
states, and the state departments Of
labor admit these conditions. Night
work is common in New Jersey for
women silk workers and others, in
spite Of supposed law against it.
