To speak against the United States government in Cuba or Panama is “treason,” just is it is “treason” tc speak against his majesty King George V. in India. That is the un pardonable sin, for which follows swift atid sure reprisal. The ‘wholesale depértations from nearby Latin*tAmerican countries for the crime of denouncing American im- perialism, proves cor@lusively that these countries are méfre satrapiés of Wall Street. Such complete domina- tion as this reveals is made even more brutally manifest by the mili- tary occupation of the City of Pan- ama. It will of cdurse continue, whether or not the American troops remain there or finally go into tem- porary retirement across the border in the Canal Zone. ~ American dominati in Latin-America as 161 pressed peoples of thogé countries can be kept powerless. t the national liberation movement /is everywhere taking on impetus. The growth of the sections of the All-America Anti-Im- perialist League in Cuba, Mexico and Central America indicates clearly that American imperialism {s failing in its endeavor to crush ‘out the liberating impulse in the oppressed peoples. If the working class in the United States lends active support to the Latin- Americans in their struggle against the joint enemy, Wall Street, an ir- resistible force will be created which all the governmental might of Ameri- can imperialism will: be unable to re- sist.

The Labor Party Question. , mM one respect, there was 4a new keynote struck at this con- vention of the American Federation of Labor. This was in reference " to the labor party. _ ¥t is true the resolution for a labor Was overwhelmingly défeated. ‘the utterances of President op in urging the defeat’ of the la- r party resolution, are in tive | as . In evety previ- Bua 6c vention of the Amefiéaii’ Fed- tion’ of Labor, the leaders’ of the Gompers’ machine, from Gompers down, denounced the idea of indepen- dent ‘working class political action, the .plan for the organization .of a labor party, as absolutely incongruous with “American ideals” and absolute- ly impossible for American workers. All the .piffle and balderdash about the purity of American, capitalist de- mecracy and about the American workers being constitutionally unfit- ted to act as a class against their exploiters were usually played to death by the loyal henchmen of the Gompers’ clique in their attacks on the labor party at the previous con- ventions of the Amefican Federation of Labor. “Not Opposed to Labor Party Principle. HIS year, Mr. Green, who sways Gompers’ presidential scepter of reaction as much as the “Grand Old Man” did in his balmiest days, turned just a wee bit aside from the hackney- ed path of discrediting and rejecting the idea of a labor party for the American workers. Mr. Gompers used to denounce the labor party idea in principle. To him the idea of a labor party developing in the United States was synonymous with and the sure forerunner of the collapse of all the glories of the American ruling class which he so loyally served. Mr. Gompers and his aide-de-camp time and again have ca- tegorieally rejected the idea of a la- bor party .in principle, forever, abso- lutely. This yeay. Mr. Green did not reject the labor party idea “in principle,” for the. workers. Mr. Gompers’ suctessor fought the labor party re- solutién ag violently as it was ever fought at a convention of the Ameri- tam, Federation .of Labor... But Mr. Green fought ‘the labor party idea -maihly on ‘the ground that it could not «bay the’sAmerican workers at this time. -President Green declared that today a labor party could not success- fully defend the interests of the work- ere ,as: well as the time-dishonored poliey-.of “reward your friends and punish. your enemies,” the so-called non-partisan political’ policy of the American Federation of Labor could. j iC This loyal labor lieutenant of capi- ‘which they publicly proclaimed their | of his contentions the experiences of the American workers with the LaFol- lette campaign, which never was a labor party campaign, which in real- ity aimed at destroying the labor party movement then. afoot in the United States. Nor must we forget that even the LaFollette movement to which the Gompers’ machine formally pledged some support, was sabotaged and was stabbed in the back by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. The Gompers’ wrecking crew saw in the LaFollette campaign a movement of the masses towards the left, a movement away from the discredited non-partisan pol- icy. Therefore, the American Federa- tion of Labor leaders secretly under- mined the LaFollette movement to allegiance. “A Labor Party May Be Desirable.” But let us listen to the words of “wisdom” showered ‘upon’the dele- gates by Mr. Green in his tirade r pte) J iy de a ie % vance a ical and economic interests, but ioe mass of the working sutbia WE. believe that way. “There may be a time when we in America can organize a labor party, but we will have to change from an agricultural into a semi-industrial country before we can make a suc- cess along that line.” These are certainly signified words. Mr. Green no longer rejects the la- bor party in principle. Mr. Green is not opposed to a labor. party “in prin- ciple,” that is, not forever. Mr. Green is opposed to a labor party ot now, today. Mr. Green’ no longer detonneve the labor party advocates only as dan- gerous destructionists. Mr. Green says he even has respect for the opin- ions of those who are for a labor party. To Mr. Green the class strug- gle is no longer an eternal impossi- bility in the United States. Times do change. ° America do not against the idea of a labor party for But we know the methods employ- ployed to be found in agriculture in the United States declined from 35.7 per cent to @3 per cent.

At the same time the number gainfully em- ployed in the manufacturing and mechanical industries, in mining, transportatiOn, etc. increased 4,130,- 497.

Usually they are not opposed “in ‘principle’ te an application of a cer- tain policy, or a certain principle. Usually they are opposed to its ap- plication at a particular time. Usual- ly this particular time is always, whenever the advocacy of the appli- cation of the particular policy is made. Yet,.the admission by Mr. Green that a labor party may come in the United States, that a labor party may be of help to the workers in the de- fense of their economic and political interests, or that the American work- ers even have interests of any kind which differ from the interests of their exploiters is significant. Espe- cially are these words meaningful when they come from the mouth of a member of the royal family of the ruling clique in the American trade union bureaucracy. The writer well re- calls how he saw the same Mr. Green sit as a delegate from West Virginia, side by side with the notorious mur- derer of striking workers, Sheriff Don Chaffin, in the last national demo- cratic party convention in New York City. For such a gentleman and deserv- ing democrat, such words are certain. ly blasphemy of the fundamentals of all that is holy to bourgeois America! But let us examine the reasons giv- en by Mr. Green for a labor party not being timely at present. In our examination of these reasons we will bn say to the investigations and data prepared by the very capitalist gov- ernment which Mr. Green so anxious- ly wants to maintain, Mr. Green now tells us that a labor party is undesirable today and he is opposed to it at present because the United States is still an agricultural country. Mr. Green tells us that a labor party may be desirable in the future when the United States be- comes at least “a semi-industrial country,” “when America ceases to be an agricultural nation and be- comes industrialized.” Some Indisputable Facts. We will be very frank and blunt about things with you, Mr. Green. On the basis of the reasons you have giv- en above, your case against the labor party doesn’t have a leg to stand on. It° won’t hold a drop of water. It is full of holes. -Im plain language: You are off. You don’t know what you are talking about, Mr. President Green of the American Federation of Labor. Here are the facts: You are asleep as to what has been happening in the United States in re- cent years. America is no longer an agricultural country. The United States is no longer a semi-industrial country. The United States left this stage some decades ago. In the last ten years America’s ur- ban population has increased 28.8 per cent and its rural population increas. / Tt working masses. In the years of 1910 to ,1920 the to- tal number of wage earners—manual and vgn has increased from 22,- 406,714 180,689. Today, while ihaciticen labor party, Mr Green, on the ground that the United States is not yet even a.semi-indust- rial country, the,.wage-earning ele- ments constitute about 63 per cent of the total gainfully employed in this country. rare The proportion of persons engaged in manufacturing and mechanical in- dustries in .the United States has risen from 22.5 per cent in 1900 to 30.8 per cent-.of the total gainfully aa vt | dod fy 4 av #2 ¥: a en i. ‘By Tay Lovestone | ; + ‘ee , i. there wa migration of 1,200] And » United States official cen- 000 from try to the cities. sus figutes show that the industrial For the fty years there has proletariat—that is the wage workers been a ate! in the agricultural |in mining and quarries, building proportion gainfully employ- | ‘rades, transportation, manufacturing, ed in ‘ Sm 1900 to 1920 the | Stationary engineers and firemen— proportion e total gainfully em-|increased from 12,800,325 in 1910 to 15,540,486 in 1920. Today, while you are opposed to a labor party, Mr. Green, the industrial proletariat is nearly sixty per cent of the whole wage-earning class and the wage- earning class is nearly sixty-three per cent of the total gainfully employed in the United States. With a wage-earning class of more than 26 millions and an industrial proietariat of more than fiften and a half millions, America is far from be- ing an agricultural country. Under these conditions the time and mater- ial for a labor party are at hand, now, today, and not in some unknown date in the distant future. Mr. Green Asleep at the Switch If we were polite, Mr. Green, we would say that you are a_ée sort of a Rip Van Winkle. You have been asleep a good many years—in so far working class and the protection of its interests are concerned. The im- perialist development of America, the world war, the Dawes plan, the rise of America into playing the role of ‘he world’s banker and manufacturer us well as the world’s pantryman have ft escaped your observation and un- derstanding, to express it charitably. These very powerful social forces with their deep going effects on class relations in the United States, which you profess to be ignorant of, Mr. Green, have for some time been work- ing energetically and against you. The very fact that you are now compelled to take one step forward and tell the world that you are no longer opposed to a labor party in principle, Mr. Green, shows that these social forces working behind your back which you have so shamefully turned on the workers, are driving you to see the hastening collapse of your dastardly policy of reward your enemies and hang yourself, the break- down of your beloved so-called non- partisan policy. Towards a Labor Party. Nor, Mr. Green, will your moving two steps backwards, by urging the American workers to believe that the United States is still in the days of 1870 or earlier and that they should therefore today reject the idea of a labor party, halt the operation of and fermentation by these social forces. Backward or sideward, as you may move, Mr. Green, the reasons you have given the last American Federa- tion of Labor convention against a labor party are shoddy, threadbare. The fabric of your case is full of holes. Economic and political develop- ménts are weaving a new warp and woof of Class relationships in the United States. America is headed to- wards a labor party, separate and dis- tinct from and opposed to the pol- itical parties of the capitalists. The American workers are waking up despite the fact that the Greens, the Wolls, and other high-priced lieuten- ants of capital in the ranks of labor may be asleep, blind, or bitterly hostile to this forward movement of the working class in the United employed in 1920. States. GIFFORD PINCHOT BEGS GAL COOLIDGE 10 SPARE BUTLER WASHINGTON, Pa., Oct. 20—Gif- ford Pinchot, governor of Pennsyl- vania was at the White House where he requested President Coo- lidge spare Brigadier General Smed- ley Butler of the marine corps and ‘allow him to remain in Philadelphia to carry on “law enforcement.” President Coolidge made no prom- ises to Pinchot. Gifford Pinchot poses as a liberal and styles himself “friend of the laboring classes.” His begging President Calvin Coolidge to allow Brig. Gen. Butler, who under Wil- son’s regime dispersed the Haitian congress with the use of United en the “treat.’em rough” attitude States marines and has always tak- towards the. workers in America who go on strike for better living conditions, show the workers of Pennsylvania that the interests of Gifford Pinchot are to defend the capitalist class and its institutions.

Drawings Go Quickly. Decorating the walls of the hall were framed, mounted and unmounted drawings and cartoons of the best ar- tists in the labor movement. The choice work of Bob Minor, Fred Ellis, Maurice Becker, Lydia Gibson and many others, all of which have ap- peared during the past two years in the DAILY WORKER and the Work- ers Monthly, were sold and some auctioned in a novel manner that en- tertained the workers who crowded the hall and brought spirited bidding drawings from workers who searched their pockets and “went the limit.” A gang plank to the stage brought visitors “on deck” to the ship where a game was played that: helped to “save the DAILY WORKER,” and gave cigars to accurate horse shoe pitchers. - Coffee and Socsinute Popular. Coffee and “life preservers’ were distributed freely without charge—and many took advantage to subscribe to The DAILY WORKER on the sub- scription “bricks” attached to the doughnuts. A spirited contest for an original cartoon. to be made of the winner by Fred Ellis, marrowed down to two popular members of the sex (sup- posedly) “easier to look at” and was won by Anna Lawrence (over Billie Shachtman) in a last minute rush of five hundred votes from an admirer— at a penny a vote. Both contestants being so “easy on the eyes,” Comrade Ellis, the cartoonist, offered to make drawings of both, and everybody was happy. A Finnish orchestra did “do-fun- nies” that made dancing easy and good fun. Sandwiches were good and cake so good that it pleased the cake eaters. A radio set was donated and raffled. Even a couple dozen Gillette razors, also a donation, were sold around the hall to bearded Bolsheviks. It all helped nicely to “bring home the bacon.” It was a night of real good fun— for a real good purpose—and this “painless way” of raising-funds for the DAILY WORKER is now being adopt- ed’ in many cities. Chicago has al- ready two others in the making, while "New York has six rescue partigs on the way. The bosses use the police and courts. We must take them from the bosses. : ¥ 4 | "ye deol er ong | | “CITY OF CHICA COP DIST.

Calls Trade Union Conference NEW YORK CITY, Oct; 20.—Com- rade Sam Don, distric§ erganizer of the Young Workers League in Dist. No, 2 announces the calling of a trade union conference of all members of the league for the ‘purpose of discus- sing the tasks of the Communists in the unions. The conference will be held Monday evening, Oetober 26th, at 5 p. m. at 105 Eldridge St. Gitlow Will Speak | Comrade Benjamin Gitlow, member of the central committeg.of the’ Work- ers Party, will lead discussion. All league members anmd-particularly those who are members of the trade unions have been urged to come. This conference will strike a blow at the journalistic conception of be- coming a mass organization. It will point out that the Y¥ Workers League must assume the leadership of the struggles of the young workers by actually participating im their daily struggles. In order to frustrate any tendency which may manifest itself to leave or refuse to join the reform- ist trade unions it will point out that the trade unions are the mass organ- izations of the working class and it is essential to work within them and to revolutionize them. More Effective Union Work The question of the greater exploi- tation of the young workers, the lack of attention on thfs score by the trade unions, the organization of the unor- ganized young workers into the trade unions with lower initiation fees and dues will be discussed and acted up- on, At this conference the Young Workers League will proceed with the further organization of :Communist youth fractions, so that the struggle on behalf of the young werkers in the unions and the Trade Union Educa- tional League will be expanized and effective.

For it is an established fact, known to all intelligent people since. the publictaion of the works of Marx, that the morals and mental status of the people do not determine material conditions, but that. material conditions determine all the customs and ideas of a givén president, of the United States on the socialist party ticket in 1916, This is on a par with the thought processes of Ford’s chief pub- licity agent, Mr. Allen L. Benson, who while he was candidate for devoted most of his time to eulogizing Ford because of the establish- ment of the 8-hour day and five dollar a day wage in the Ford plants. Benson was at that time severely assailed by the Marxists in the so- cialist party, most of whom are now in Workers Party. We, at that time, pointed out precisely what is being proved today, that in the development of capitalism hours of labor frequently have been volun- tarily reduced by the employer because with highly intensified ap- plication of labor to industry it is possible to extract more surplus | 3 value out of workers in a short period of time, than over a longer} period. Ford did not inaugurate the 8-hour day as a philanthropic move, but because experience had taught him that he could just as easily ei extract all the vitality out of a worker in eight hours of intensified labor as he could by ten hours of labor under the old conditions. Tearing the hypocritical mask from this unscrupulous apostle of the opeh (scab) shop and revealing his new projects for exploiting more thousands of workers ought to be an ineentive to the Ford slaves to strive to organize and revolt against the despotism of the Detroit exploiter. al 7 a : -* » 3 . dl « Dy r esl: g ms ‘ > : . : " J L m é . > 4 ¥ ol > ' : arty oe rae is ‘ - 7 ‘ 2 7 = b's 4 F as . . ‘ % - Yar ‘ Fs ee. a . g f ln : 5 - fF United (Continued ingen page 1) actionary, and with denying their members the freedom of expression we accord ours.

The most important reason for repudiating Smith and Bowles is because both represent the capitalists who are robbing and exploitng the workers of Detroit. “The attempt to make the workers ‘of Detroit decide the ,muncipal elec- j tions on the basis of religious pre- | jadices, is part of a game of the capi- tilists to prevent the workers from using their political power in order to fight in their own interests. Both Smith and Bowles are playing this game of the capitalists. Both prefer to have the workers .vote catholic or anti-catholic rather than have them them vote on the basis of relief for unemployed workers, no use of police in strikes, for better housing and sanitary conditions in the working class sections of Detroit and other issues of interest to the workers and affecting the lives of the workers. Smith makes claim for the support of the workers of Detroit on the basis of his record. But what did Smith do in 1924, when 50,000 workers were without jobs and unable to earn a liv- ing? Did he demand that the capi- workers the opportunity to work and earn a living or pay them wages? Did he demand that the city of Detroit should tax the capitalist employers in order to furnish money for relief of | the unemployed workers? Every worker of Detroit knows that Smith did none of these things. They know that he stands for the capitalist S$ystem and the capitalist method of making profit out of the workers and that he would not move one inch in support of workers without jobs. Bowles is no better than Smith in this respect. He also supports the capitalist system of exploiting the workers which throws tens of thou- sands of workers on the streets when- ever the bosses cannot make big pro- fits out of their labor. It is on the basis of such issues as unemployment and the attitude of the \candidates asking their support on this question that the workers should take their stand in the muni- cipal elections, but not on the. basis of racial and religious issues. The capitalist bésses° want the workers to divide on the basis of racial and religious issues because they know that workers who are in- fifienced by these prejudices will not interests. The workers of Détroit have noth- ing to gain and everything to lose by supporting either ‘Smith or Bowles, or any of the capftalist Wandidates in the municipal elections. "Fhe workers must organize as a class to fight their Sug Workers of Detroit! make a fight for their own etonomic’} political” battles -agatnat the eapital-| ist bosses.

Workers of ‘Detroit must organize to fight for that power«se,that they can use it to support ,4heir struggles against the capitalist exploiters. Some workers beligye that Smith is the candidate of r. But. every- one who examines hjg. record closely knows that he is the,candidate of the capitalist bosses. he workers can- not expect that any candidate whc supports the capitalist system agains: munist Ai | the workers Will #epresent their in-| terests. Some candidates may play the game which Smith has been play- ing of sometimes throwing something in the direction of the workers in order to fool them into supporting him: No worker who understands the conflict of interests between the capi- talist bosses who are in business for profit, and the workers who produce wealth and must constantly fight for decent wages, will be fooled by this game of a smart politician. The Workers (Communist) Party proposed to the Detroit Federation of Labor early this year that it take the initiative in organjzing a party of workers—a labor party—which would support labor candidates in the muni- sipal and other elections. The pro- PALA |Party was not accepted, therefore, » b in the municipal election. The formation of such a party is the only way, in which the workers can fight their own political battles. It is the only way in which they can use thie bower they have as an organized group in support of their ~ economic ‘struggles. The workers of Detroit must de- mand the formation of a labor party ‘and that labor drop forever the out- worn “policy of “rewarding © friends and ‘punishing the enemiés of labor” which means in every instance, elect- ing* the representatives of the capi- ‘talist> bosses to public office. The Workers (Communist) Party calls upon the workers of Detroit to ex- posal of the Workers (Communist) press themselves in the interests of (Continued from page 1) air,” Col.

He is some- thing of a political @xile from Wash- ington. because of his° exposure of the inefficiency of the gdvernment’s pres- ent air organization! Tho reduced in rank and stationed at Fort Sam Hous- tion, in Texas, he is the country’s leading proponent ° a larger military air service independént of the army most. brilliant and rressive among this country’s military aviators.

It, was starting, on a naval dem- onstration flight over eleven states and on its returnawas to have tied up at the Ford airport mast. After the crash it became known that Henry Ford and the chief engineer of the Ford Motor company, William B. Mayo, had been authorized to ride in the Shenandoah either to Bay City, Mich., and return or to Lakehurst. It would have been Ford’s first trip oim the air. The Shenandoah was jthe government's only military dirigible: Its flight was a strictly nilitary maneuver. All on board wer@?naval officers or enlisted men. THe authorization to Ford and his chief engineer to ride in the ShenandoaH’énd the intention of the two to takéthe trip shows F ord--Pacifist Turned and navy and is Yrecognized as the| the friendliness that now exists be- tween the Fords and the navy. Such an authorization was never given before in the case of the Shenan- doah. O you remember also the time when Edsel Ford was branded as a “slacker” by the patriots for claim- ing and obtaining exemption from the draft? Reactionary patriotic newspa- pers attacked him. Patriots looked upon him as bad company. It was thumbs down for him. But he was among the “distinguished guests” in- vited to be present on visitors’ day at the citizens’ military training camp at Camp Custer, Mich. Aug. 14 A member of the Young Workers’ League was evicted from this camp in violation even of the army policy, as defined in a statement given to the Federated Press by Maj. Gen. William S: Graves, commander of the army sixth corps area. And the speaker of* the day was Charles G. Dawes. The tide has turned indeed when Edsel Ford is invited to be a “distinguished guest” in such company. There is a recent instance also in which the Fords carried to conclus- ion,a large scale business deal with the governmemt, an agency which Class .conscious workers recognize as the agency thru which the capitalisi * class functions politically. When the United States shipping board decided to sell a fleet of ships as scrap steel the Ford Motor company was among the bidders. The Fords turned out to be the successful bidders, with an of- fer of $1,697;470 for 199 steel ships and $297,500 for seven tugs. Three at a time the ships are now on the way to River Rouge to be cut up. ( tyone Ford Motor company has not only its me¢hanica) equipment and [ ialist _ trained industrial army of 165,000 /orkers but around its holdings 2verywhere an atmosphere of sinis- -er’ power, corresponding psycholog- cally to the divine right power ofa monarch.; Such an atmosphere makes military éonscription easier for a oap- italist* government, In: ‘colitrast to the doubt that nce popdlarly® existed as to the direction n ‘wich the Fords were developing, 101 of heed as an adjunct to the arsenals, barracks,’ hangars and navy yards “of; the val pital government at Wash- ing ten, 8a result of the Fords’ comi- par tive ly swift, generally unexpected but dite. inevitable “reformation.” petitively if to do so will enlarge their ntome. And the company may not péy: ifferest, or tribute to Wall Street,-sfice the Fords carry a cash’ reserve:to finance their own industry. It is worth-néting incidentally that the Ford Moétor-company is the only large enterprise under capitalism in this country ‘that*‘has not passed into ‘he hands of the bankers, or finance- capitalists. But in the Fords the cap- ‘talist rulers of the United States ‘ave staunch new allies who once had he appearance of being capitalist scabs. In fitting conclusion let us add that several members of the Workers’ Party were arrested and one was beaten near the Ford gates in High- land Park and River Rouge last May day while, distributing the DAILY WORKER. Communists know that the Ford myth is like any other myth for the working class.

The Workers (Communist) Party calls upon every worker to write in on the Ballot on election day the name of the Workers Party candidate for mayor, Edgar Owens, and thus take the stand for the working class against the capitalist class. It asks the workers of Detroit to support the Workers Party candidate for mayor, Edgar Owens, by/ writ- ing his name on the ballot on the following platform: 1. The organization of a_ labor party based upon the trade union movement of Detroit to include rep- resentatives of all trade unions, labor political parties, co-operatives and fraternal organizations, to fight for labor in its political struggles. 2.
