No Cause for Excitement

lions may result.
The first open evidence OF Japa.
nese dislike for America was the
bombing at Nagasaki on May 9 OF
the American consulate. This was
followed in September by charges
that the National City Bank OF New
York was acting as an espionage
agent because its employees were pho
tographing places OF interest in ia
pan. Last comes the attack upon
the offices Of the American company
in Yokohama.
OF the three incidents only the
second can be said to have any spe-
cial significance. Irresponsible per-
sons are liable to throw a bomb any,
where and such action cannot be in
terpreted as indicative of a general
state Of mind. Not all OF the people
Of Chicago, for example, are bomb
throwers, though numerous pine
apples have been hurled there.
Neither are labor troubles confined
to Japan. Every nation has them
and the fact that the Yokohama
demonstration was directed against
an American company may have
been only an incident. From this
distance We are in no position to
Judge between disputants in the con-
troversy which preceded the attack.
The only one of the three cases
which can be said to have signifi-
canoe, therefore, is the anti-Americar
campaign carried on by some Japa-
nese newspapers in connection with
the picture-taking incident. There q
deliberate effort was made to stir ur
the populace of the Flowery Kingdom
against an alien people.
Why this was done is not hard te
imagine. Miserably crowded togethe,
and oppressed by poverty such as We
have never known, the japanese peo.
pie are enduring a Gethsemane much
more severe than that of other ma
tons. Socialism and Communism

Mass Picketin G Is
Discouraged to
Break Strikes

Is clear that the committee could
arouse the most tremendous mass
struggle If they would issue an I'M
compromising statement of demands
for all the departments. The men are
unable to state what they - fight
ing for; they only know that some
thing is being ~mediated" for them;
nevertheless they are out on the picket
line, puzzled and wandering from gate
to gate, sitting all the rlmors and
waiting. Many of them had worked
only q few weeks after long months
and in some cases years Of unsmploy-
rent. and no mentor rs been made
Of organizing relief for them except
by members of the Auto Workers
Union and by individual workers on
the picket line.
A few weeks before the strike and
lockout Nash organized a system Of
employees representation, but this has
been emphatically rejected in two
meetings which have been held since
the lockout Of Nov 9. The board Of
this company union was called to-
gether, but no information is at hand
except that one worker who was Sc
lected TO it in the shop resigned from

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, NOV. TO-
The mass defense fight for Wilbur
Hardiman, Negro youth, convicted of
manSlaughter in a self-defense case,
won partial victory yesterday when
Judge Horace D. Dickinson was
forced to grant a new trial TO Hardi-
man.
Hardiman, with James Johnson, an
other Negro youth, were arrested fol-
lowing the killing of the leader of a
mob which, on June %, 1888, tried to
lynch the two youths and several
other Negroes. johnson has not yet
been tried.
The partial victory of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, which is de-
Tending the two youths, establishes
more strongly than heretofore, first,
that Hardiman was not the one that
did the shooting, and, second, that
whoever did the shooting was JUS
tilted in acting in self defense.
The LID, in making an issue Of
the case, has succeeded in rallying
wide masses Of Negroes and whites
to the defense Of the two youths and
the right Of the Negro masses to
defend themselves when threatened
by lynch mobs. David j. Bentau, of
Chicago; L. S. Taylor Of Minneapolis
and Henry PAUL Of Duluth are the
LID. attorneys in the mase.

However, the A. w. q. Is giving its
full support to the struggle of the

proposals to them as follows: /. A

The four workers who had also been
elected to the committee we're not at
all in the evidence any more. 1t is
clear that the entire management has
fallen into the hands OF the A. F. of
l.. officials who make militant
speeches but carefully avoid mention
of making demands for higher wages
for the men in the other departments.
The picketing has been arranged In
such a manner as to be ineffective
and is allowed to take care of itself
more or less. The men are ready for
mass picketing and expected better
leadership.
On Monday the men expected to
be called to another mass meeting on
account of the presence of the me-
diator. But even by Tuesday night
no such call had been issued. On the
picket lines much dissatisfaction is
expressed with the conduct of the
strike. The local paper Tuesday after
noon carried only a short article
session with the company officials
and the chosen" representatives of
the workers This article mentioned
only the demands of the strikers in
the three departments where the
wage dispute started. 1t is feared
that the low wages and the high
speed up in all the other departments
are being ignored altogether.

The lone Socialist Party candidate
polled slightly over 1000 votes, despite
the efforts to confuse the workers by
appearing to stand for the same de-
mands as the Communists.
Compared with the top vote Of
1000 two years ago, the top vote
this year shows a slight repression,
but a close analysis of this vote gives
the following picture: Two years ago
the straight Communist vote was only
I,400. This was for Sam Darcy for
Mayor. This year the lowest Com
munist vote is 935, showing an in
crease of over 200 per cent. Two
years ago the Communist ticket was
the only slate opposed to the regular
boss candidates. This year there
were no less than 16 independent
candidates.
The millionaire candidate, Adolph
Uhl, who was elected by a vote of
70 ,245, carried on a campaign of I'M
precedented demagogy, posing as a
real opposition to the incumbent boss
candidates who were up for re-elec-
ton. This unquestionably confused
large numbers of workers and small
tradesmen who were disguised with
the policies of the Rossi machine.

istrar Of Voters, Major Collins, fatty

Communist vote, and even caused the
