> ‘AS WE SEE IT RANCH’S “finance wizard,” Joseph Caillaux is back again in politic- al life. France never needed a finance wizard more than now, The franc is on the tobaggon and it is in the power of the United States and England to drive it below rt But it is doubtful whether th will do that. The fall of the franc far below where it is now would cause panic in Burope and none of the capitalist powers are any too sure of their position. As was pointed out in an editorial in the DAILY WORKER a few days ago, the strained relations between Poland and the Vatican and the commercial war between Rumania and Poland as well as the Greece-Turkey imbroglio are incidents in the struggle between France and England that is going on ever since the tremination of the world war. * . . AILLAUX was indicted, convict- _ed, imprisoned and banished ‘by his enemies only a few years ago. His policy has been rapproachment with Germany. Clemenceau, is now in re- tirement. Poincare is preparing to lead the fascisti and the catholic re- actionaries in an effort to get back into power. Caillaux aims to succeed Herriot as premier. Interesting -de- velopments are due in France. ; One thing is certain, England does fot relish the return of Caillaux to active public life. acs Bosra is getting * better ’ day, despite the fact that éfime Is on the in¢rease, ‘@eclaren State's: Attorney Crowe. This tendency would not be welcomed by the average pers- | on but Crowe is not an ordinary citizen. Increase of crime is grist to his mill. There fs always the possi- bility of a nice little gallows party, even tho juries are sometimes hard to handle. Robert B. Crowe has not made much fuss about crime since his re- election. Indeed it is well known that his anger ig not deeply stirred over petty crime, such as burglary and other deviations of that kind. What he does not like is alleged crimes against the government. + > > T might be interesting to .now that this notorious strikebreaker, State’s Attorney Crowe, is a member of the Clan-na-Gael, an organization -that is pledged to overthrow British rule in Ireland by any avhilable methods. According to a series of articles in the Gaelic American written by John De- voy secretary of the Clan-na-Gaél, Ro- bert. E. Crowe, is the ‘son of Pat Crowe, the author of the “dynamite policy” which O’Donovan Rossia, an Irish Fenian claimed credit for. Devoy declares the honor belongs to Pat Growe. The state’s attorney’s father was willing to use dynamite to blast the British government out of Ireland, yet his son’s favorite sport nowadays is filling the jails with union men and women whose only crime is seeking to secure better wages and working conditions for themselves and their fellow workers. Yet John Devoy, praised this strikebreaker as an Irish patriot. Perhaps he is! > = > HERE was plenty to drink.” This refreshing news was in a morn- ing newspaper describing a banquet in the Rainbo Gardens, given. to a/public officiak and member of the William Hale Thompson political machine.

The DAILY WORKER Is in poesee sion of a secret circular sent out by the Brotherhood of Railroad Telegre- phers dealing with the conspiracy on the part of the railroad company te put the “B. & O.” plan originated by “B. & O. Bill” Johnston, president of the International Association of Ma- chinists, over on the Transportation Brootherhoods. Should, “B. & O. Bill” Johnston be defeated in the coming elections in the Machinists Union for internation- al president and should the committee for progressive political action (prov- “ll | ided it still breathes) decide to have one who is not politically embalmed at the head of it, “Bill” should not have any cause to worry about his future in an economic sense unless the railroad companies are the most ungrateful inatitutions in the United States, Good For Company erly this plan was fastened on the shopmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Ratiroad, but it has. been so profitable for the company that it is now being put into operation on every classification of rail labor. Already the B. & O. has started organizing among the-telegraphers. In the Pittsburgh region the com- pany has selected its own chairman and committee. The committee to repres- ent the telegraph department are the station agents of the largest stations in the district. The members of the Telegrapher’s Union are up in the air over it.

In the cases of workers arrested for activity in strikes, for agitation, for educational work, for loyalty .to revolutionary working class organiza tions, we and our party, the Work- ers (Communist) Party of America stand pledged to do everything in our pewer to free these victims of cap- italiam and its courts. In these cases we carry on the widest possible agita- tion among the workers with the ob- ject of arousing them to defense of their comrades. 38 of our members are now under indictment under the Michigan criminal syndicalist law as are result of our fight for the work- ers, Men and women arrested for the activities we mention are not regarded by us as criminals but as the very si 9g types of manhood and woman- Fulleet Publicity You may rest assured that in these kind of cases there will be the fullest Dr S.

The polls open at 9 a. m., and close at4 p.m, The Workers Party has candidates in the 34th, 28th, 24th, and 22nd wards. The watchers will not be required to work all day, it is announced, but can take shifts with other comrades. After the polis close the Workers Party watchers must remain until the votes are counted, which it is antioipated will require only about two hours. publicity, not because we have any moral scruples about gecrecy, but because we always try to get the ear of the largest possible number of workers for these cases and the Com- munist program. Your other question is: “Will you aid, as far as tiles In your power, the public law enforec- ing officials in the performance of their respective duties?” Inasmuch as all the so-called “law enforcing” agencies are in reality for the purpose of protecting the stolen wealth of the capitalist class, wealth produced by the working class and taken from them by non-workers who own the government and industries we consider that these robbers an their retainers can look after thei Protect Our Candidates! property without any aid from us.

O’FLAHERTY. you have often heard tell of the “subsidized press.” The term was considered one of opprobrium in the days when the socialist party was the leading political organization of the working class in America. But those were the days when socialism meant nothiig more nor less than pacifist liberalism, a vain protest against the iron methods of capital- iam and its government. The cap- italist press is subsidized.in.one way or another by the capitalists. It is worth every nickel they put into it. UT the Communist press is also subsidised, unfortunately not very healthy. The DAILY WORKER working class organizations to the conference, Work In the Unions. A spirited discussion took place on ways and means to get more of the trade union comrades active in the unions and the Trade Union Educa- tional League and to get others into the union. The work in the building trades, carpenters, metal and needle trades sroups is of paramoint importance and has greater possibilities for the development of left wing movement in the trade unions than was ever before possible. The building trades comrades are ‘siting the party branches explai: ing the work and every co-operation should be extended. In the needle trades the T. U. B. L. group decided to isue a leaflet thru the Amalgamated group on the coming agreement. The issue in the Amal- gamated today is clear; it is Hillman- ism versus the left wing and the Communists. In all of these unions the fight for reinstatement of the expelled has tak- en on a militant and national char- acter. The coming pamphlet expos- ing the corruption of the Hutcheson machine in the Carpenters’ Union promises to be. a scorcher and many orders are already coming in for this pamphlet. Labor Defense Council activity is being pushed thru the unions and our speakers are appearing wherever pos- sible, and where our comrades are on the job to get them the floor. The T. U. B. L. groups are preparing to push THE WORKERS MONTHLY in the unions, The North Side English branch, as a three copies of the Workers Monthly each month and, further to push the Communist work in the trade unions, has decided, altho the comrades in this branch are already more active than the others that anyone failing to attend a union or T. U. EB. L. meeting in the needle, building, printing and metal trades is automatically sus- pended from the party for three months. This is a good example for other branches to follow and will no doubt do a great deal towards getting our party members active in the un- ions, the basic organs of the class struggle. The T. U. EB. L. page covers the un- ion activities in detail and an en- deavor is being made to see that every group has its correspondents. Com- rades who fail to attend unions are being made to run the gauntlet in the once for a May Day committee in an endeavor to make the coming May Day a gigantic affair. Also all branches are to make cer- tain that delegates come to the La- bor Defense Council united front con- ference on Thursday, Feb. 26, 8 p. m., 180 W. Washington St., Room 301, Membership meeting schedulted for next Tuesday in accordance with C. EB. C. instructions and agenda given in another column, was reported on. The fight against the C. P. P. A is one point on the membership meet- ing agenda, and in this connection there are hardly any local uniong in Chicago which have endorsed the C P. P. A. conference. The issue ig cold among the rank and file and is roue- ing no sentiment whatsoever, an indica- tion of correctness of the policy of the party in exposing the C. P, P, A. as a bourgeois outfit, Push the Child Labor Campaign. On the child labor campaign now that the Illinois legislature has the issue of a referendum before it, com- rades in the unions and fraternal or- ganizations should push the child la- bor campaign and resolutions in ac- cordance with policy and send in re- ports at once to the local office. Comrade Swabeck has been appoint- ed district organizer by the Central Executive Committee in the Pitts- burgh district and Comrade Abern has replace him. 70,000 Election Campaign Leaflets Distributed. On the elections campaign it was reported that the 50,000 election cam- paign leaflets containing the program of the Workers (Communist) Party in the aldermanic elections had al- ready been distributed. Im addition, special leaflets are now being printed starter, has decided that every mem-| ¢,> some of the remaining aldermania ber of the branch must get at least | ..,qiqates and also special cards. The namber of election leaflets used will run up from 70,000 to 75,000. As re- ported previously, thtee of the party candidates were eliminated from the ballot by the usual methods of capital- ‘ist procedure and legality. Comrades Brooker, Cejka, Dozenberg and Bp stein remain 6n the ballot.

Second, pickets are slugged and arrested. Here are the two chief methods of the boss-owned government. Federal conciliators with their palaver of peace and concessions by both sides— attempts to break the morale of the strikers by filling them with false hopes. Violence against the strikers in an effort to eow those who cannot be fooled by the smooth- tongued agents of the employers. No honest and intelligent worker can fail to see the way in which these two methods dovetail to- gether and work in the interest of the enemies of the working class. The left wing, led by the Communists, can do effective work in such cases. In addition to being: the most active fighters on the picket line, the most untiring organizers of the offensive against the. bosses, they also show to the workers the intimate connection between government and boss. They have in these instances concrete evidence to bring | forward against any so-called leader who takes part in the attempt of the agents of the employers to fool the strikers into believing that they can gain anything by other means than their organized and conscious strength. Any efforts on the part of government or any other brand of conciliators to get the workers back to their machines pending a settlement must be fought mercilessly. The time to negotiate is when the industry is crippled by a strike of the workers and the bosses are whining over vanishing profits. 10,000 Marders Ten thousand murders per year in the United States ia the lowest possible estimate given by Frederick Hoffman, expert criminal statistician. He says: “My own record of homicides is based on death certificates in which deaths from crim- inal violence are certified either medically or by a coroner’s inquest. The record of 10,000 murders a year is probably an, underestimate of the actual facts. Death certificates in cases of accident leave much to be desired and there are substantial reasons for believing that many cases are recorded as accidents which should be certified as homicides.” This is quite a record for a nation that prides itself on having the highest civilization on the globe. short of material for sarcastic eulogies of western capitalism they can do quite a bit with this one| fact. It would never do, of course, to recognize a workers’ and peasants’ government that makes its | principal cities entirely free. from crimes of. violence. Ten thousand murders per year—well, Ameri ieans | are an efficient ‘oo We Tremble The Federation News, organ of Chicago labor fakerdom, at last has us worried. It parrots in its issue of the 21st inst., the Chi- cago Tribune’s story of $340,000 sent from Russia for Communist propaganda in the United States, We repeat, we are worried. We are afraid that the only readers of the Federation News, the hundred pie-card artists who run the Chicago labor unions for the money there is in it, will believe this story. If they do, love for the Communists. $340,000! One-tenth of this amount would buy this whole flock 6f birds for capitalism, Communism or any- thing else—for a few minutes. We fear that in the next few days we are going to have to talk to a lot of “labor leaders” whose prehensile fingers will be opening and closing in the nervous manner with which so many bosses and politicians are familiar.

UCH a “trick” was the use made of a statement which several members of the left wing allowed henge negensn thru their inexperience, to be fooled into signing. The sign- ing of the statement, which meant to hand a political weapon over to a political enemy, was an inexcusable blunder on the part of these mem- bers. It was a demonstration of that confusion of mind which is the prin- cipal remaining obstacle before the left wing. Ee Trade Union Educational League branded the signing of this statement as a crime against the left wing and against the true interests of thé labor movement. This was the first step toward correcting the mistakes of the left wing, toward eilminating the last obstacles to its growth ard development. The Work- ers Party took even more drastic ac- tion toward those who were mem- bers of the party, demanding that the action be repudiated as a serious blunder by those who committed it. Those who undertook to defend the stab in the back that had been given to the left wing, who refused to admit |/thée building of a miiltant left wing that it was a mistake, were expelled from the Workers Party. The party of the revolutionary working class. cannot retain in its ranks those who. bring in with them and defend such. indefensible actions. It is reliably reported that another ex-member of our party, Salutsky, greeted one of the expelled before a joint board meeting with the words: “Here is an- “movement.

But every such bad thing has certain good by- products. In this case it was the oc- casion for a sharp jerking up of-our comrades and a stock-taking of those bad . tendencies in our movement ‘which hinder the growth of the left wing. The result has been an ideolo- gical house ing which, when it is completed, will mark the real be- ginning of the left wing in the A. C. W. A. rh rad. eat a is still a trace of Hillmanism in our party and in the left wing, which will have to be overcome. Its with ah entirely different tendency in our movement—with the “left sick” and syndicalistic elements. This spec- tacle of the right wing uniting with the infantile left, is a familiar one in the international revolutionary muddle . headedness of the left-sick ones, or to the fact that their left phrases conceal a fundamentally op- portunist attitude to the problems of the movement. As to the real oppor- tunists, they are, of course, always eager to grasp at any kind of alliances which can help them create confusion. way in which the revolution- ary movement fights against er- rors within its ranks is to expose entire movement. HIN the clothing industry the last obstacles to progress in are just such errors as these. They are our weaknesses, and to cure. them we must expose them. We must point out to the entire movement the false- ness and dangerousness of the oppor- tunistic right wing element which is afraid to denounce and fight against the policies of class collaboration in the union a fear which leads to such actions as the signing of statements for the reactionaries. | AT. the same time we must com pletely isolate and render harm- less the infantile sickness of those comrades who “want the - clothing workers to settle their own problems” (as tho the clothing workers were not a part of the working class which can settle its problems only as a class), or who want to turn the party itself into an industrial organization with its executive made up of delegates from industrial groups. These left- sick ones (who, as usual in such cas- es, have a word to say on pol icy) create an obstacle to progress by their confusionism, and by their alliance with the opportunistic ele- ments. UR concern is not with individu- als. If it becomes necessary, of course, it can easily be pointed out in what persons these errors find their champions. What we are concerned with, however, is to clarify the minds of the large numbers of rank and file members: who follow the left wing, who believe in it and will fight for it, but who are dismayed by the shout- ing of opportunists and wailing of the infantile left. To these honest and sincere comrades we point out that this confusion is but,a passing sur- face event, caused by the movement of those deep, underlying forces of historical progress which are making a left wing not only necessary but al so inevitable. The temporary confu- sion is only the floundering about of those who haven’t caught step with the march of the revolutionary work- ers—some thru error and others: be- cause they don’t belong with the re- volutionary workers. The first we will save and bring back into our army as disciplined soldiers of the re- volution; the second we will part with as painlessly as possible. e . > (in another article | will deal with the opportunist argument that be- trayal of the: left wing can be ex- cused as “loyalty to the wnilon,” every weakling or renegade tries to use with which to cover the naked- ness of surrender to reaction.) ee For Irish Workers’ Faminé Relief and Class War Prisoners A* mternatsala aaa demonstration in which workers of more than fifteen languages will contribute the best entertainment features of their respective Jands will be given in Chicago, on March 329, Auditorium. at Ashland There will be Finnish athletics, Jewish music, a chorus of 300 Lithuanian children, a dance pageant by Young Workers League members and juniors, mandolin and balalaika orchestras, solos and ensembles and a dramatic sketch.

HERRIOT GALLS ON MORGAN FOR UNITED FRONT} PARIS, France, Feb. 20.—Premier Herriot, the “socialist,” is calling frantically for J. P. Morgan to bol- ster the tottering Herriot regime with a loan of $200,000,000. When M. Clementel, the finance minister, was shown an official de- nial by the United States treasury de- partment, that the American govern- ment was contemplating a loan to France, Clementel said, “By the Unit- ed States I meant American bankers, not the American gofernment.” Cle- mentel had said that the United States would aid France to bolster the falling French franc with a large loan. Clementel, however, meant Morgan, whom he recognized as the real power’in America. Interest to Morgan, Louis Loucheur, one of France’s big capitalists, speaking in the chamber of deputies, declared that. France is paying regularly one and one-half bil- /lion francs for the settlement of her ommercial debt to America. The bulk of this money find its way into Mogrgan’s pockets. “The great trouble of the govern- ment is that it never has any cash on hand,” said Loucher. “I recommend the immediate efforts to float a loan of $200,000,000. The money from the recent Morgan loan should be kept in- tact to protect ge franc.” On. the New York exchange the Herriot government bought French francs heavily, as a result the francs gaining four points during the day. The French government bought thru the ally of the Bank of France, J. P. Morgan and company. INTERNATIONAL DEMONSTRATION | TH BETTER we ' Madison Phartaacy 2 INC.
