Hugo Oehler, of Kansas City, disgusted with reformist antics of that aggerega- tion of renegades and adventurers, de- cided to drop his red card in that party—the only thing red connected with that demoralized outfit. In a letter to the socialist party, copy of which was sent to The DAILY WORKER, the comrade in question Comrade Oehler explained his rea- sons for taking this action. That the brilliant strategy of Mor- ris Hillquit, the “Moses” of the so- clalist party has succeeded in leav- ing the party not alone without prtn- ciples but also without membership ts indicated by the number of active members who are leaving the ranks of the socialist party and lining up with the Communists. Comrade Oehler was secretary of the Kansas City local of the socialist party and of the Jackson county cen- tral committee. After explaining his reasons for quitting the S. P., he states: “After thinking things over, I have at last decided to join the Workers (Communist) Party, consi- dering it the only party that has the tactics that will overthrow capital- ism.” Traction Ordinance Planned on Bankers Advice Dever Admits Mayor Dever, in signing the trac tion ordinance which gives the bank: arg control of the Chicago surface and slevated lines for a long period of years, revealed that he has written the ordinance solely upon the advice of those bankers. “The leading bankers of Chicago have assured us that the program can be financed on the foundations laid in the ordinance,” Dever said. “They constitute the best authority obtain- able on that subject. I refer to Mel- vin A. Taylor, president of the First National bank, John Mitchell, head of the Illinois Merchants bank, and A. W. Harris, chief of the Harris Trust and Savings bank. The word of any one of them commands the faith of any citizen.” i) teed _ Deyers ord vests ¢omplete control of the traction lines in a board of contro! of nine men, three of whom are direct representatives of these bankers. Farmers Oppose | Coolidge’s Hand Picked Committee WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.— Because farmers’ co-operative mar- keting organizations protested to congress against the schemes recom- mended by hig farm commission, President Coolidge is angry. He blames this interference, in part, for the defeat of the farm legislation which his own hand-picked commis- sion prepared at the last moment for the approval ofthe house and senate. He puts part of the blame, also, on the middlemen, who, he thinks, have used farmers as a false front for their own opposition to any change in pres- ent arrangements. The farmers’ co-operatives reply that the white house remedies were big business proposals that would have left them worse off than at pres- ent, and were a pretext for refusal to consider genuine help.

Now that Coolidge’s Wall Street backers are forced to bow. to Russia, Cool- idge is about to enforce a new policy. Hoover Stole Fisheries. The forced resignation of Hughes, however, does not mean that Coolidge and his gang have changed their opin- ions of Communism. Herbert Hoover, who was caught using his govern- ment’s position to turn Alaskan sal- mon fisheries over to capitalists, and grafting on the government in numer- ous ways, remains as the strong man of the cabinet despite his record as a red baiter who circulated and man- ufactured lieing documents about Soviet Russia. Coolidge’s new private secretary, former Representative Sanders, came to the notice of Coolidge and his capi- talist owners when Sanders aided in breaking the railway shopmen’s strike, and worked against legisla- tion aimed to abolish the tool of the railroad magnates—the railroad labor board. Weeks in Shoals Scandal. The new Secretary of Agriculture Jardin has a record of opposition to farmers’ co-operatives, unless they are controlled by bankers. He is well- known as a labor hater. Secretary of War Weeks has his finger in the new Muscle Shoals scan- dal, Weeks backed the Underwood bill turning Muscle Shoals over to private interests, and induced the senate and house conference to so amend the bill as to give electrical in- terests in New York a freer hand to exploit the $150,000,000 government project. Secretary-of the Navy Wil- bur, who took exception to Coolidge’s “Nigger baiting” attitude toward southern Negroes, may be forced to resign for that reason, but Wilbur has tried to make good to the finan- ciers, by advocating a bigger navy with which better to protect their property. Coolidge has approved Harding’s policy of declaring that the Negroes must not expect. social equality. Owned by Standard OW. Harlan F. Stone, the former Colum- bia university law dean, who came in- to prominence as a lawyer for the J. P. Morgan and J. D. Rockefeller mining and oil interests has been elevated to the United States supreme court. Stone is there expected to see to it chat all legislation which tmproves ihe conditions of the workers, or gives women and children toiling in industry a chance for a better exist- ence fs declared unconstitutional. Charles Warren, who has been ap- pointed by Coolidge to replace Stone as attorney general, is a prominent member of the sugar trust, and will not push “anti-trust” ‘legislation. It’s a Millionaire’s Cabinet. Another millionaire capitalist who will remain in the cabinet is Secre- tary of the Treasury Andrew J. Mel- lon, who has endeared himself to the hearts of the financiers by lower- ing the income tax on large incomes. Mellon has beén frequently embar- rassed by his connection with the Teapot Dome oil scandal and his name has often been mentioned in liquor frauds. The people who came to Washing- ton to witness Coolidge’s inaugura- tion, are mostly bankers and employ- ers who feel that since Coolidge is protecting their interests they have a personal interest in the govern- ment. Charles G. Dawes, the well-known banker, who will be sworn in as vice- president, has as his guests a crowd of bankers, manufacturers and pluto- crats. Dawes, who was comptroller under President McKinley, has form- ally “resigned” his bank'ng connec- tions, but retained his stock in the banks and industries in which he is interested. Big Welcome to Dawes, Dawes, who lends his name to the plan of the J: P. Morgan company, which has already enslaved the Ger- man workers and put a collar of gold around the necks of the workers of France, Belgium and to some extent, England, was met at the tram by a committee of bankers. This commit- tee was called the “citizens’ inaugu- ral committee” and included Edward Clifford, former assistant secretary of the treasury, and James B. Reynolds, the millionaire banker of Washington. Among the Dawes’ party are Will- iam G. Edens, vice-president of the Central Trust company of Chicago, bosom friend of Dawes; Joseph F. Otis, manufacturer, and George A. Paddock of the American legion. These rich friends of Dawes are boosting him as the next republican candidate for president. RED BAITERS BUSY IN PITTSBURGH (Continued from page 1) the charge of “inciting to riot.” Six Victims of White Guardism, The six arrested whose names are Margaret Yeager, stenographer; John Truhar, bricklayer; Elia Kapec, steel worker; Peter Skrtc, tailor; Bleddyn Thomas, steel worker, and I. H. Bay, clerk, were held under $1,000 cash bail each. The Workers Party mem- bers immediately got busy. Small squads were sent in different direc- tions to collect the necessary funds and at about 1 a. m., the fast work was completed, bail was put up and the six let out. Before the magistrate, the sergeant in charge of the arrests testified that he had sufficient evidence to feel as- sured that these six workers were “suspicious persons” and had attempt- ed to incite the crowd to riot. One of them had resisted arrest, said the sergeant while he submitted a stack of leaflets and pamphlets as further evidence. A Welsh Miner “Poked Me Jaw.” And “your honor,” butted in a slick dressed stool pigeon) while pointing to Bleddyn Thomas, a young husky former Welsh miner, now a steel worker, “While I helped the officers, this man asked me what I was going to do with defendants. I said I was going to take them to the station. ‘No you ain't, he said and took a poke at me hitting me right square in the jaw.” » Among the seditious literature con- fiscated the magistrate discovered a poem calling upon the workers to in the unite beneath the red flag and telling Tthem that the world is theirs if they take it. This he considered very dangerous and ordered the defendants turned over to the federal authori ties for investigation. Another bail for $1,000 was fixed and put up as tuickly as before. '“Bolshevism Wéuldn’t Let in Rain.” Inside in the Labor Lyceum hall the “heroic” Abramovich was holding forth, wailing about the conditions of the mensheviks in Soviet Russia who had been been denied their freedom (to carry on counter revolutionary activities), asking the audience about 400 to 500 times, “Do you think that is right?” The applause showed what the audience thought when someone shouted, “Yes, it serves you right.” He sprung a new one on the Pitts- burgh meeting when he stated that the Bolsheviki were just as much to blame for the draught in 1921 which caused the horrible famine, as nature was. In conclusion, he bemoaned the con- ditions of the Jewish people in Sov- iet Russia, most of whom were not workers but middle class and thus had no possibility of existence under the Soviet regime. He evidently for- got that there was still an opportun- ity available for all of them to take up useful labor. Rafael’s Past Confronts Him. After his speech when questions were permitted, one worker got up and addressing Abramovich directly, said: “Where am I at now, at a capil- talist meeting or a workmen's gath- ering? I remember distinctly how 13 years ago when I listened to your ad- vice in Russia, you told us to be- ware of the middle class elements as they had nothing in common with the workers, but would always ulti- mately support the bosses.” Altho no “foreigners” were sup- posed to be admitted to the meeting ish, one Jewish merchant from Brad- dock, brought a dozen gentile gang- sters in addition to the squad of cops and dicks placed inside the hall to help “keep order.” Olgin and Minor Speak Sunday A mass protest demonstration against the lies of the international scab, Abramovich, is being called at the same hall on Sunday, March 8, at 8 p. m., under auspices of the Workers Party, with Robert Minor and Mosaye J. Olgin as the main speakers.

PARIS, France, March 3—The meet- ing of the allies’ ‘council of ambassa dors, which ekxantined the report of the entente military control commis sion to Germany, decided that it will be impossible to forcibly compel the German army to Wisarm, as “neither France nor England are prepared t« do so.” The report stated that Germany was supposed to disarth four years ago, but has not yet complied with her agreement.

Branting, in Sweden, and Ebert, in Germany, have gone, and Musso- lini is sick in Italy. “Strong men,” material for fancieti dic- tators, are not so plentiful as the profit class would wish. Hence the real cause of anguish. “Wild rumors,” so-called, from Italy come Ilke spear thrusts to the tender hide of the Hearst press, for. instance. Arthur Brisbane utters the official wail as follows: “Another rumor says the Itallan crown prince shot Mu$solini in a quarrel That’s nonsense, undoubtedly, and it would be base ingratitude. But for Mussolini and his revolution on the side of conservatism, Italy might have had a revolution sweeping the king from the throne.” So Mussolini must be conserved by all méans. Brisbane hopes that he only has the “flu” and that he will, soon re- cover. * It is the brother fascist of Mussolini, Chancellor Luther, of Germany, who will speak at the grave of the dead “‘social- ist” president, Friedric Dawes delivered the funeral Morris Hillquit or Viet munism extends far. or Berger. Ebert. It is as if “Hell an’ Maria” oration over the remains of The front against Com- Even as Arthur Brisbane worries about Mussolini, so he throws a few flowers on Ebert’s bier: “Thanks to Ebert,” says Brisbane, “to the highly Intelligent and scientifically trained German specialists, and the millions of German workers, educated for 40 years in the social-democratic party, the Ger- mans have the power of self-government. “Their administration has stood firm. ever since the war, under most horribly trying conditions That Is the greatest possible tribute to the self-governing power of the Germans. And Ebert will be honored in history as the loyal servant of German democracy.” Brisbane gets near to the truth with his final thought. All the rest is bunk. Ebert will be honored as a loyal servant of “German demooracy,” camouflage for “German capital- ism.” But when capitalism has been swept away in Ger- many, his memory will be ditched like’ so much rubbish. Students in a colle of Soviet Russia, the other day, sent several tons of books back to the paper mills to be made into new, white paper, so that something worth while could be written thereon. Ebert will be remembered by the workers in the days to come as an obstacle in the pat Revolution. of the German Bolshevik He was the figurehead of the fascist dictator- ship that murdered Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, with thousands of other German workers, and sent tens of thousands to live a little longer. * * Ebert and his feHow social-democrats exerted most of prison in order that German capitalism might their strength thru the trade unions and the social-demo- cratic party built up in the period of “peace” before the world . war started. But ommunist influence over the trade unions is growing daily, and the membership of the social-demo- cratic party quits it in masses, accepting the the German Communist Part An era of bloodshed—the sheddin leadership of of the blood of the workers—has maintained capitalist rule in Germany since the fall of the kaiser, just as Mussolini maintains his rule in Italy. It is the capitalist rule that receives its orders from the Wall Street dictatorship of Morgan and Dawes. This allied dictatorship of the mark and the dollar will fall before the rising German workin capitalists of Germany and the Unite class—feared by the States alike—for the dictatorship of the workers in Germany will help strengthen Soviet Russia, and give new enthusiasm for the workers’ struggle in every capitalist land, including the United States. ; The puppet Brisbane, newly drrived in the American millionaire class, tries to soothe America’s workers and poor farmers with the idea that Ebert rule was good. America’s exploited workers will gradually come to know better. They will learn that no rule is good but the co-operative effort of all producers in a Communist society.

In the meantime the only disappointed ones séem to be the left wing workers who had prepared a warm reception for Abramovich. Textile Kings Also Have “Culture” (Continued from page 1.) tal. All except the éftizens of one walled capital were slaves to the Ro- man aegis. They were, for the most part, happy slaves, under well ordered and equally established governments. Most of them did. not know that they were paying tribute. They prospered under Roman rule. There were years on years of peace. There were thou- sands on thousands of paved roads established to circle the world and rie. each village commerce. The conquered slaves of Gaul and Africa and Britain were hardly conscious , that these same roads carried from them, each individually, a tax that | freéd the Roman citizen from labor, 'and enabled him to live in luxury that knew no toil. | “The Roman empire fell, largely because luxury was followed by the | usual decadence and emasculation of strength that a surfeit of luxury _brings. For more than a thousand ‘years afterward the western world | lived comparatively free, each man.-in _it paying taxes only for his own bene- fit—only to the government that gave ‘him law and order. And then, sud- denly, all Europe enslaved itself once more. “This time it was conquered, not only by war, but thru a need for gold. Every government in Europe mort- gaged the labor of its citizens for |scores of years in order to obtain gold in exchange. It sold the labor of children yet unborn. And one nation, which had the gold to lend, conquer- ed the world just as surely as the Roman citizens conquered it. it se- cured hundreds of millions of will- ing slaves who must yleld up, each one every year, a certain tribute. “That nation is, of course, the Unit- ed States.” No Question of Ethics. Mr. Dakin hastens a few lines later to exclaim: “Do not imagine that there is any question of right or wrong in this dis- cussion. Such a question belongs in a study of ethics, and concerns nei- ther the historian nor the economist.” And then he goes on to explain the contemplated future path of Ameri- can finance-capital in seizing posses- sion of all the industries of all the na- tions of Europe with one exception. It is a lyrical version of the Dawes’ plan, stripped of the little Hel and Maria’s caution and showing, at the towering pinacle of the oligarchy it seeks to build, not an aggregation of several “victorious” nations, but the single corpulent figure of American finance capital. But Dakin’s dream-lyric depends for its logic upon his claim that thru the vast Wall Street plan attached to the name of Dawes, European capi- talist production can be restored, with only the difference that the “bonded Slaves” of all Europe (except Rus- sia) will pass under the rule of Ameri- can finance-capital. And another thing: He thinks with something like “the fair happiness and peaceful pros- perity of the Roman conquered.” Reveals Plans of Bosses. And still another thing. We are in- terested in this avid reader of “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Em- pire” only to the extent that his voice from the textile section of Wall Street tells something of the bosses’ plans in regard to labor. Any claim to scienti- fic forecast by this man is voided by | his naive assumption that the. com- | ing second world war is not going to occur and that capitalism can recon- ‘cile its contradictions, to say noth- ing of his childish belief that there is no limit to'capitalism’s market for its surplus. But his “science” of an- j}clent Roman analogy shows thru its | crevices the Wall Street outlook on | the labor question. It is the outlook | which seeks to accomplish in America |the corruption of labor with ‘the su- | per profits of imperialism. In 1920, in a preface to an edition of his book «Tm perialism,” Lenin described the process: | “It is easy to perceive that from |such a large additional profit (for it is received in addition to the profit which the capitalists extract from the workers of ‘their own’ countries), la- bor leaders and the upper strata of |the workers’ aristocracy can be ‘| bribed. So the capitalists of the ‘pro- gressive’ countries bribe them by a thousand different means, direct and indirect, open "and secret.” Now to return from Comrade Lenin to Mr. Dakin. Mr. Dakin’s capitalist- | imperialist heaven in which he says |Our invested captial will bring us, individually, more tribue than the armies of Ceaser and Crassus and Pompey could ever have brought to the seven hills,” is to have many de. lectable means for bribing an wpper | Stratum of labor aristocracy. He does — / not make a distinction between a small section of corrupted labor aris- tocracy and the “properly proletarian lower stratum,” as the more honest versions of the plan have done. He ignores both the general fact that the real prdletariat of America would sink into worse misery and the speci- fic fact that at ‘this moment his gang is engaged in lowering the average wage in the textile industry to about $16 a week. Ignoring the fact that the real proletarian masses would al- 80 be “bonded slaves,” Mr. Dakin says: “Nothing, indeed, seems more cer- tain thah that the next few years will bring to this country the anomaly of high wages, together with relatively low commodity prices tn general and high interest rates. The result, of course, will be an extraordinary pros- perity among the working masses— the labor classes in general. Sharp division between capital and labor will disappear.” And then he goes on to list all the devices for corruption of labor that capitalism has in its bag. Except that he makes no allow- ance for the Gomperism of the pres- ent—apparently even that kind of un- ionism is to be dispensed with in fa- vor of outright company-unions. Rauds “Company Unions.” On company unions Mr. Dakin banks high. Altho he does not use the slogan, “Let the superintendent be your labor leader,” it is, evident that that is what he has in mind when he recites the company wnion plan. Even more he seems to rely upon the.“labor bank” as a means of cor- rupting the labor ranks; tho how they can continue to exist without the Gompers kind of unions he does not say. But with keenest delight this Wall Street boy pounces upon the incident of Warren Stone’s seab coal mine: “At least one labor union owns and manages some coal mines of its own ~—a management fraught with much present sorrow, but alSo much healthy capitalistic education. Today, in New York, organized labor is planning to use its combined capitalistic resqurc- es to erect large apartment houses for the workers and eliminate the slums. Capital, in various methods of médern management and programs for profit sharing, is joining hands with labor; labor, as it amasses the resources of individual members, is entering the realm of capital.” The capitalist writer then goes into |“ delirous delight over what he thinks > -_— —— 7 (Continued from page 1.) its charter. This threat did not fright- en the members, so Jensen gét kind of mad. Members who smiled at his frantic gestures had the same effect on him as a bandana handkerchief has on a crazy bull. He shook his fist threateningly at them, only to in- crease the supply of grins. “Jensen rambled along, denounced the. Communists and attacked Foster an Ruthenberg. Hé charged the Communists with attempting to break up the unions. Several members call- ed the speaker a liar and demanded proof of his charges. The only proof he coul dadvance was that the Com- munists wanted industrial unionism. No Stranger to Crime. Jensen’s attacks on Foster and Ru- thenberg for getting into the toils of the government brought forth inter- esting comment from the members. They pointed out that ‘Harry is no stranger to police cells, but he was never arrested or convicted for politi- cal offenses. His relations with the courts were for entirely different rea- sons. After Jensen raved for one hour Nels, Kjar, one ‘of the expelled mem- bers had something to say. He show- ed that he and his comraces did not have a fair trial and that Jensen lied when he stated that Kjar and the other expelled members were fighting against the union. “We admit to fight- ing against the labor fakers” said Kjar. Jensen was nally forced to get down off his hn horse. If he was have a fair trial he would see that they got one, he said. Somebody pro- posed that the local take some action to satisfy the curious and suggested that a committee of five be elected to investigate the matter. Not that they have any way of convincing Jen- sen. Lied When He Joined. The committee was finally elected and Jensen agreed to sit in with this five and also with thé five expelled. The meeting was scheduled to take place Tuesday night. As we go to press there was no report of the out- come. Members of Local’ 181 point out that Jensen entered union under false pretense. He was over 22 years of age when he joined, yet he repre- sented himself as an? Epprentice, tho over the age limit for apprentices, ac- cording to the constitition. For this violation of union;@wles Jensen is liable to expulsion from the organ- ization. “Jim” Jen who is now one of Jensen's sta defenders i: authority for this, ent. mee. 08. AS WE SEE IT * By T.

And he closes with the words: “As the world slips into 1925, we have all become—everyone of us— the owners of hundreds of millions of able-bodied serfs. We have a mort- gage on the lives both of the living and the unborn in. practically every, nation of Europe except Russia. We shall have, if not gold pouring in, then its equivalent in merchandise. Each one of us can hope to have more to spend. Each one should have more to buy. The luxuries of today should become so universal as to be neces- siti¢s. New tuxuries will have to be invented to take up the slack of our increased resources. With such wealth we can hope to do one of two things. We can waste it, individually, in vain and effete living, as every great empire has finally wasted its resources in the past; or else, utiliz ing the modern invention called cap- italism, we can mass it in ways that will enable us to remake the whole human environment—to femold the entire world nearer to the heart's de- sire. “With money—and bonded slaves.” This is the journalistic.marvel that Wall Street magnates about to.each other and the day steaks. It expresses the dream of the Babbit soul in cotton and wool- en manufacture, now a cog in the wheel of finance-capital and out for /} conquest of the world. Meantime, the slow strangling proc- ess goes on in the New England mill towns, where the workers, “in order to increase earnings for all concern- ed,” must take a cut of 10 per cent (on the road to a cut of 25 per.cent), give up the eight-hour day,. double their production, half of them get fired and the other half sik into “the labor of bonded slaves.” That's the joker of it all...“Idealism” doesn’t mean all that it saya, ‘clusion of the conference.

Walsh and “Fatty” Taft, in 1912 proved that out of every dol- lar’s worth of wealth produced in the United States, only seventeen cents goes into the pockets of the workers. However, that is a mere detail. What concerns us most is the means pro- posed by the labor leaders, whereby a more equal distribution of the wealth produced can be attained. “ * » THEY admit the employers rob the .dreds of thousands of semisgarved tex- workers quite legally. The _em- ployers see to that by owning the gov- ernment, and all the agencies of gov- ernment. To quote Mr. Todd: “But Green and Morrison saw in the con- ference a chance to diseredit this legalistic ethics. They hoped to make the country see that great’scale pro- duction needs a control, based on a higher valuation of the human digni- ty of the worker. If robbery of hun- tile workers could be made a scandal, instead of ‘successful busigess,’ the world would be moved along. So the primary steps are taken, patiently, against a Butler-Coolidge baekground.” > > > O this is the “progressi¥é” Green EXPECT 15,000 WE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN .TO Ninn AIT. as Rae re jee » 7 > Me * ¥ we: ‘s bg” a ie.

A time came when ‘e¥én the’ back- ward workers realized the’ true nature of the Abramovichs. “Phe ‘menslHevist | party loses every connettiobn with the masses. The workers brand the men- sheviki with the brand of contempt. Abramovich goes abroad, and here he becomes one of the chief agents in the struggle against the Soyiet Repub- lis. He helps the capitalists, he does service to the capitalists. The capi- talists hate Russia—and Abramovich supplies them with material for their propaganda. The capitalists assert that Soviet Russia is a menace to mahkind—and Abramqreem backs up this assertion from a so-callet ist standpoint. The former landlords, the Russian cap the counter-revolutionary in sia, the liberals and the monarchists united in the foreign countries for the struggle against Soviet Russia— and Abramovich is ay welcome guest. at their celebrations” The most vic- ious propaganda against the Soviet Republic is connected with the name of Abramovich. Abramovich, never ceased to do counter-reyolil on- ary work. oc5 se Abramovich, a Yellow Enemy ot The World Proletariat. Abramovich is a member, ef the, Sec- ond International which is. instgyumen- tal in keeping the working, olags;en- slaved. The Second Internatiqnad em- braces the Schiedemann,; » bes trayed the working class, the Neskes who ‘salughtered striking revolution- ary workers and put thousands of them _ jail, the Renaudels who made pedce with the Frefich bour- geoisie and with its policy ‘of plunder, the MacDonalds who under the cloak of a labor government conducted the most shameless imperialist ‘policy in India, Egypt and other colonies, the Estonian socialists who oye a vote of confidence to the bourgeof& govern- ment of Esthonia for shooting down thousands of workers and -throwing hundreds of Communist fighters into jail, and all other socialists who be- trayed socialism. Abramovich is part- ner to the Second International which has substituted peace with capitalism for the class struggle. It is the task of Abramovich to muddle the heads of the workers so they may not rise against capitalism. Abramovich at- tempts to persuade them that thru peaceful understanding with the capitalists can the workers attain everything. Abramovich ‘acts like ar agent of the bourgeoisié. Abramovich Is Against “the Interna- tional Unity of the Working Class. ° All the workers of.,, ‘Boyiet Russia are united in powerful Tevolutionary unions affiliated to the Red Interna- tional of Labor Unions” *(Profintern.) With the Red International are also affiliated revolufionary unions and sections of unions, the world over. The Red International'is now engaged in a campaign to ufiite all unions af- filiated to it with the unions affiliated to the backward Amsterdam Interna- tional.in order to forma world organ- ization of all labor untons. It is the conception of the ‘Red International that the united international power of capital must bet‘eonfronted by a united internationat®power of labor. Abramovich fightd’againet such unifi- cation of the proletarian forces. It is the wish of Abramvich that the pro- letarian forces shoulil be: split. Ab- ramovich is afraid that:the Russian unions would influenge ‘the unions oi Europe and imbue’ them. with a great- er will to fight.* Abramovich is against the unidns’6f(@urope and Am- erica gaining more will to fight. Ab- ramovich fears and hates the revolu- tionary working class movement. i Abramovich, a Representative of the Russian Bourgeoisie. Abramovich calls, himself socialist. A true socialist can be only a repre- sentative of workers, whereas *Abram- ovich does not represent any workers. The workers of Russia dre represent- ed by the Russian Communist Party. Abramovich and his kin are discred- ited among the Russian’ workers. Who is it, then, that they defend? On whose behalf do they fight? They fight on behalf of the shop keepers who are disfranchised in Soviet Rus- sia. They fight on behalf of the small bosses who have no say in the af- fairs of the Soviets and who cannot tolerate the domination of the work- ers. They fight on behalf of the bour- geois intellectuals who hate the work- ers. who play a role of considerable ine : ‘but are hardly tolerated ‘ whom the workers will -4 bortance in the capitaliat gountries fn Soviet Russia, on behalf of these elements sdorer or later entirely dispose of fi’ Russia Abramovich raises the cry of democ- racy, equality, justice, freedom.

It is not by accident that the present moment was chosen for Abramovich’s mission, §§ Russia’ bécomes ever stronger. © Russfa' has been recog- nized by nearly all European nations. America is’ the only country . which has not recognized Soviet Russia. Even Anmterica,® “however,’ begins to changé her view’ on the Soviet Re- public, partiddiarly in consequence of the ‘increasééa “volume of trade be- tween Russia and. the United States.

Abramovich speaks under the auspices of the Jew- ish socialist Verband which is lack- ey and a lickspittle of the Forward and which has no influence whatever among the working masses. Abramo- vich hobnobs with the union bureau- crats who fool the workers, who inter- fere with the. class struggle of the workers against.the bosses, who have at heart not the interests of the work- ers but the interests of their own un- jon jobs and who expel the revolution. ary workers from the unions.

By his speeches and by hig campaign Abramovich lends pres. tige to this disgraceful coterie,’ Ab. ramovich has embrated the’ selfsame repellent creatures whom in “former years he shunned and despised: Ab ramovich does harm not only ‘to the workers of Russia and Burope, but 'to the American labor movement as well.

Wher- ever they come to his meetings, they agreet him with “Traitor!” “Liart” “Counter-Revolutionary!” “Man-Serv. ant of Capitalism!” so that it becomes impossible for him to speak. Wher. ever they do not appear, his me halls are empty. In New York, in the New Star Casino and the Hunt’s Point Palace halls the workers protested against him, shouting, making short speeches and singing the Internation. al, so that the agent of capitalism was put to shame. In the same city, when the workers refused to come to. Cooper Union, the hall was glaringly empty. In Philadelphia his meeting turned into a fervent demonsration4dn favor of. Soviet Russia,» Communism and the Communist International, In Boston where the revolutionary work- ers gathered at a separate meéting, Abramovich was compelled to make his speech before a couple of hundred shop keepers, businessmen, union bu- reaucrats and policemen. ‘The work. ers have learned to know Abramo- vich, They slapped his face so loudly that the sound of it will be -heard as fur as Europe. Abramovich Under Protection ot Police and Spies.’ The representative of the alia can speak only when surounded by po- licemen, guarded by spies, supported by strong arm thugs and watched the bourgeoisie calmly watched -the police of Philadelphia arrest at his meeting several dozen Communists, he gave his sanction. to beating up Communists and shedding their blood wherever they dare express disagree- ment. It is for all these reasons that the workers of America can have only this to say to Abramovich ane his friends: Down with the servant of capital- ism!
