COLLEGE PREPARES MAPS
OF LAND CLASSIFICATION
PULLMAN, Dec. 17.-Maps show.

PULLMAN, Dec. 17.-Maps show
ing the average per acre yield
wheat in Eastern Washington coun-
ties have been prepared and will be
used to aid in classifying the farm
land in those counties according to
it's value for agricultural and other
purposes. These maps have been
constructed from information taken
fro mthe wheat allotment records,
according to Rex E. Willard, Reg
ional Director, Land Policy Section,
A. A. A.
In few counties these wheat
maps will serve as the primary
basis for land classification. Where
wheat has been successfully grown
for many years and the productive
value of the land is known, it will
be unnecessary to make some OF the
detailed surveys that are being
conducted in other counties.
In counties where the use of the
land is varied and the productive
value of farm land is uncertain, adj
ditional information will be collect
ed. This supporting data will in
clude weather Investigations, soil
surveys, and studies of certain eco
nomic problems of the land such as
taxation, population trends, and
road and school costs.
At present, land classification
work is being done in only eight
counties, all in Western Washing
ton. Requests for land classified
ton work in many counties have
been received, and with the support
of the State Planning Council
County Planning Boards, the
Grange, and other organizations, il
is believed that the work may be ex-
tended to cover the entire sta
Washington.

and protect the interest of workers
and poor farmers. 1t is all the
more necessary to expose his
treachery. This is elementary.
The Trotzkyite amnesty also in
cludes the Farmer Labor bureau
Gratis in the Minneapolis unions. AS
is the case with Olson, there is not
even a hint that they did not sup
port the drivers strike one hundred
per cent. The whole question of
the Minneapolis general strike, OF
the troop mobilization, of the re-
lationship of class forces, is dropped
like hot potato by the Trotzkyite
sheet for June 8-published one
week after the end of the strike.
But in T0ledo-that is another
question! About the situation in
Toledo there are more brave words.
The Trotzkyites are in favor of a
general strike-in Toledo! Governor
White is flayed as an enemy who
threatens to use force against the
workers. In Toledo, says the Trot-
zkyite sheet, "the strikebreaking
role of the Labor Board with whose
Minneapolis counterpart they in
duced workers to sign compulsory
arbitration agreement, without a
wage increase) and it's multi
lionaire agent Charles P. Taft :.
must be exposed"
In Toledo, says the Trotzkyite
sheet, "the A. F. of L. bureaucracy
must not be permitted to postpone
the general strike any longer. Moth
ing can be expected from the strike
breaking Labor Board. y No COM
promise in Toledo.
Well, well, well! The smell is not
any more pleasant but the visibility
is better. 1t is now clear that strike

Labor Boards and strikebreaking

encountered only by workers in

ernor become boon so sacred that
it cannot even be mentioned in
mundane print.
This is the same process, on a
smaller scale, which, accompanied
by slanderous attacks on the Com
munist Party and the Communist
International, cleared the road
down which German fascism
marched over the bodies of tortured
and murdered workers. The Farm
er-Labor governor and his troops
are a lesser evil" than the picked
employers and their special dep
utieS.
There is something more here
than a tendency. The omission Of
all criticism of Governor Olson
even the mention of the bare facts
and of the Farmer-Labor bureau
cracy in the Trotzkyite sheet at a
time when the strike settlement
makes workers anxious to know the
role played by every person prom
inent in the struggle, constitutes an
alliance with Olson and his ma
chine. Whether it is temporary or
permanent does not matter so far
as the principle is concerned.
Can Trotzkyites plead ignorance
of the anti-working class character
of the Olson programme Olson
whose immediate ambition is to
lead national Farmer Labor Party
movement? 1t is ridiculous. They
know that he is a constituencies
demagogue. They know of the I'M
derworld and capitalist connections
of the machine
They know that Olson will toll
crate almost any kind of criticism
from Communists they refrain
from calling him an enemy of the
working class. They know that Oh
son has tried again and again to
maneuver with the Communist
Party with the object of fooling
workers into believing that it con-
siders him friend of labor"
They know that in 1924 Olson

endorsement from Comrade Ruth

sabotage of the general strike, the
demobilization of the mass move
ment long before it reached it's
peak. a
wide mass movement of struggle of
American workers against intoler-
able living conditions and for ele-
mentary political rights, this was
one of the recent most serious set
backs suffered by the working class.
1t was a needless retreat engineered
by spineless and unprincipled lead
ers. The thought of surrender did not
originate among the fighting masses
of workers in the ranks of the
unions and the Unemployed Coun-
ellis.
Involved in this action are tao
tical questions of the highest i'm
portance-questions having to do
with the speed, the methods and
the direction of the vast strike
movement in this country.
Yet for the revolutionary move
ment, the issues raised by omission
in the Trotzkyite sheet for June Q
are of still greater Importance.
Is Olson the executive head of
captialism's state machinery in
Minnesota or isn't he?
Did Governor olson mobilize
three regiments Cat leasD of troops
for use against the strikers and
were not the settlement" negotia-
tons conducted under the threat of
military force? Or is this false
hood?
Is it not a fact that henchmen of
Olson and the Farmer-Labor Party
in official positions in the Central
Labor Council and elsewhere were
determined to stop the general strike
SO as not ito put Olson up against
it?"
Is it not a fact that rather than
appealing to the rank and file over
the heads Of these leaders the Trot-
zkyites agreed to the truce" and
advised workers to accept the off
cial terms of surrender?

Paterson Workers
Jury Find Keller
A Strike-br ker
Aided Boss to Get an
Injunction Against
Strikers

PATERSON, N. j., June 5.-A
Jury of twelve workers found Eli
Keller. manager of the Associated
Silk Workers Union of the United
Textile Workers, guilty of strike
breaking and sending members Of
the Associated to scab on other
workers. A crowded hall of work.
ers ratified the verdict by an OVER
whelming vote.
Five of the twelve on the jury are
members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Keller was found
guilty on five counts:
/. Entering into agreement with
Albert Silk Co. to supply weavers at
a lower wage-scale during the
present strike. Before the strike
this shop had an agreement with
the National Textile Workers Union.
Thirty-eight out of A workers be-
long to the NationaD.
2. Personally sending members Of
the Associated to scab in the Albert
Silk Co.
3. Entering into agreement with
Manufacturers Assoc. and Arbitra-
ton Board to reduce wages Of
Paterson workers to wage of lowest
paid localities.
f. Through Henry Berman and
other Associated officials, to having
sworn out an injunction AGAINST the
National Textile Workers Union and
the strikers together with Max
Baker of the Industrial Relations
Beard and Yolken Cthe boss.
The jury found Keller guilty Of
these four counts without dissent
ing vote. Two workers, of the
twelve, voted against the fifth
charge which stated that "Keller
and other officials of the U. T. w.
are practising this strike-breaking
policy nationally"
The jury proposed that Keller and
Berman be expelled from the Asso-
ciated and that joint action Of
workers, regardless of union affilia-
ton, be instituted, for a united
struggle for a S25 week wage and
three and four loom system.

rectly, anything about these decisive
facts of the Minneapolis struggle?
There is not!
This is nothing more nor less than
deliberate attempt to conceal from
workers the identity of the main
enemy-to leave the enemy undis-
turbed in his prepared positions,
from which, camouflaged as a
friendly force during the period of
peace" he can advance once more
upon workers in the next struggle.
One more question:
Where, in the writings or speech
es of Lenin, is to be found anything
that can be interpreted as endorse
ment of a policy of concealing from
workers before, during or after a
batGle-the identity of the main en-
envy, the direction of his position,
his strategy and tactics?
Nowhere! For the simple reason
that this is counter Revolutionary
and therefore anti-working class
policy. The apostles of the Fourth"
International whose realistic" trade
union tactics result in hailing as a
victory the forced acceptance of
compulsory arbitration by a union
through official maneuvers and un-
der threat of military invasion, do
not like the word "counter-revolu-
tionary" when applied to them, to
their policy and their tactics, in
the American class struggle. They
will work up a most fervent moral
indignation against the use of the
term in connection with the Mime
apolis struggle.
But why should we mince words
when dealing with a case in which
the facts are so clear as to admit
OF no argument? In our simple
minded way We cannot see any
great difference between A. F. of
l.. officials silent whitewashing the
governors who called out troops
against workers and ruined farmers
in New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, etc. and the Trot-
zkyite amnesty granted Governor
Olson, with this exception:
Governor Olson is the titular head
of party which pretends to OPP

anti-strike propaganda is well or
gained. In addition to editorials,
cartoons and company statements
there appears almost daily letters
from "old timers" from wives Of

all written in the company offices
for the purpose Of bolstering Up
anti-strike sentiment.
Anti-Strike Propaganda of Bosses
Mark E. Moore, the Mayor Of
Youngstown, also carrying out the
orders Of the Steel Trust, already
comes out as an open strikebreaker,
Under the cloak of preserving law
and order" in Youngstown, Mayor
Moore openly announced in the
press that the strikebreakers will be
fully protected. He is also taking
the lead in raising the old and worn
out red scare" The May 80 edi-
ton of the Cleveland Press printed
an interview with Mayor Moore,
where he states; IF the strike
comes, you can blame professional
agitators. You can even say for me
that the whole affair is being pro-
NOTED by the Reds"
But a strike in the steel industry
especially at a time when the entire
working class is in fighting spirit,
may mean a calamity" therefore
the chief representative of Wall
Street, the President himself, must
take charge. Thus the statement Of
the President, promising: -
Promptly to provide, as Occa-
siOns demand, for the election
by employees in each industrial
unit of representatives Of their
own choosing for the purpose Of
collective bargaining and other
mutual aid protection under the
supervision of an appropriate

But the steel workers can no
longer be fooled by such and similar
proposals. %he lesson of the work.

best exposure Of President Roose-

From the facts contained in this

the armed forces, the labor board,
the President and many other re-
dictionary forces are and will be mo-
bilized to break the coming steel

BY BILL DUNE

IF IGNATIUS LOYOLA,
L founder of the Society of
Jesus, were alive today, even
his cassock would turn green
with envy after reading the
latest number of the Trots-
kyite sheet--issued after the
Minneapolis surrender-wherein, by
the negative process so dear to the
Jesuit heart, Cannon and his lieu
tenants, by not even SO much as
mentioning Governor Olson and the
historical fact that he modified
three regiments of National
Guardsmen against the strikers,
grants amnesty to this potential
mass murderer-and thereby give
support to him, the Farmer-Labor
Party government in Minnesota, and
to its henchmen in official positions
in the labor movement.
AS & matter of fact, the National
Guard is still modified in Mime
sota-under the pretense of en-
forcing an embargo on the ship
ment of cattle into the state from
other drought-stricken regions.
If Cannon and the Dunno Broth
ers were the ordinary type of trade
union bureaucrats we would not put
so much emphasis on this point.
But they call themselves the Com
muniSt" League and claim to have
charted the only road by which the
American working class can march
to power. They claim that we
"Stalinists" of the c. P. have for
gotten and perverted the revolu-
tionary teachings of Lenin. They
claim that they are the only bear
ers of true" Leninism.
We have dealt to some extent
with the capitulation to the en-
ployers' association and Governor
Olson engineered by the Trotzkyite
leaders in the Drivers Union STA,
Cannon and the officials of the
Central Labor Council, the Surren-
der of the strikers to compulsory
arbitration and the Regional Labor
Board, the systematic and deliberate
