Barons’ Banquets (By, The Federated Press) CARBONDALE, Pa., Jan. 20.—The Hudson Coal company’s monthly ban- quets to the anthracite miners in the Powderly and No, 1 collieries of the company are educational in purpose. So the company says. ‘Local 877, United Mine Workers of America, objects to this kind of educa- tion. At an all-night session, attended by several hundred coal diggers, the union unanimously passed a resolu- tion forbidding any union member to attend any more of these banquets on pain of uinon discipline. The union’s decision is advertised in a notice signed by Owen M’Andrew, president and James Horan, secretary. Pickets will watch the banquet hall entrance. Hudgon Coal employes have numer- ous grievances, similar in part to those against which the Pennsylvania- Hillside men are now striking. Women Use Generals to Relieve Boredom of “Peace” Society WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.— A meeting of the women’s conference on the causes and cures of war was turned into a militaristic organiza- tion for the boosting of preparedness, when two generals were the principal speakers at the first session. Briga- dier General Lord Thomas, the sec- retary of state for air under Ramsay MacDonald, and a well-known militar- ist, eharacterized: himself as a “re- pentent old soldier.” He still clings proudly to all his war titles, however. Major General John F. O’Ryan was the other war veteran who was brot in to entertain the tea drinking ladies, who gazed longingly at his glittering uniform. O’Ryan has been talking over the radios of the country in be- half of the league of nations, and has eried over the terrible militarism of which, he says, he is a part “because of the necessity for preparedness.” Miners’ Union Backs Workers’ Movie CHRISTOPHER, Ill., Jan. 20.—Op- position of the reactionary elements, which had ‘prevented the renting of a theater to a local committee of the International Workers’ Aid for the purpose ;of showing a working class picture, melted mysteriously when the local miners’ union went om record iff support of the venture. Up until this time the manager of the opéra house, altho compelled’ by hard times: to keep his house dark more than half of the week, could not be persuaded to let the committee have the theater. The program will include “Polikush- ka,” “The Soldier Ivan’s Miracle” and a news reel.

Welinder is opposed to dictatorship—both bourgeois and proletarian, To rob the. bosses of their dictatorial weapons (army, police, etc.) he pro poses that the workers get possession #——————______________. of the means of production, How? Thru education of the workers to the beauty and simplicity of the I. W. W. program. When it is objected that the bosses will use their armed forces to prevent the workers taking ‘over the factories, Welinder answers that the bosses are only able to support an army because of the profits derived from the labor of Se RRR SA AlAs MN ha New York Tailors’ Election Meeting ‘The ‘nominations and election of officers of the Journeymen Tailors’ the workers. Cut off the supply of surplus value by the workers taking over the factories and the bosses can- not support an army. Simple, isn’t it? The proletarian dictatorship is not necessary because the working class is the majority of the population and it is impossible for the huge majority to live off the labor of the small mi- nority of capitalists, says Welinder. Because all prévious dictatorships have been for the purpose of exploit- ing a subject class, therefore the pro- letarian dictatorship can only have the object of turning the capitalists into @ subject class off whose labor the workers will live in luxury! The Russian revolution has changed nothing, according to Welinder. Only the name distinguishes Soviet Russia from American capitalism, The Russian Communists are merely interested in maintaining their positions and living off the workers—included in this was Lenin. In the discussion the greatest ap- Plause was received by a wobbly who heaped all the capitalist lies he could remember on Soviet Russia, We sus- pect that the Mackenzie articles in the Chicago News have eager readers in these wobbliés. Two conclusions flow from the meeting: One, the American ruling class is extremely stupid to hold Wel- inder and his crowd up as terrible revolutionists. As a matter of fact, he holds a viewpoint very much simi- lar to that of Thoreau, the pale ideal- ist of early American capitalism. But the stupid American rulers will suc- ceed in dignifying Welinder by nam- ing him a revolutionary simply be- cause he is, by mistake, secretary of the I. W. W. Two: Sam Gompers is dead, but so long as Welinder and-his gang domi- nate the I. W. W., we can expect the whole filthy gamut of anti-Bolshevik ideas to be spread. It is the usual trick of the reactionary to camouflage hfs opposition to the proletarian dic- tatorship under an opposition to dic- tatorship in general and a mouthly de- fense of “liberty.” Both Gompers and Welinder had this in common. Considering the certainty that capi- talist dictatorship is evil and must be destroyed, while the alleged “peril” of proletarian dictatorship is—to say the least—not such a pressing ques- tion to the members of the I. W. W. Welinder’s opposition to both, is non- sensical and a real betrayal of the struggle against capitalism and a real support to the capitalist dictatorship, Union of America, Local No. 1, will take Place Monday evening, Jan. 26, at 8 o’élock, at Maennerchor Hall, 205 to 207 East 56th street, Tailors not yet members of the union near Third avenue, are cordially invited to attend. a A PRACTICAL “TRAVELING % , ACCESSORY.” 4660.

H., Jan. 20.— Northern cotton mill owners are fighting the child labor amendment, declared Thomas F. McMahon, president of the United Textile Workers’ Union in a speech at Cen- tral Labor Union Hall, because sixty per cent of the capital in- vested In southern mills, where child slavery rul is owned by tex- tile capitalists in the north. Urging the need of federal safe- guards McMahon pointed to ° th failure of southern states to pass the necessary legislation and he dwelt on the disease and misery which prevail in these exploited areas. Tuberculosis is rampant. McMahon will carry the fight for ratification of the amendment to Concord where public hearings will be held. He is making a swing around the cotton and woolen oit ies of New England, _M. WILGuS. noteworthy that during periods of industrial stagnation | N¢W England are compelled to accept It is especially our captains of industry and finance assume the mantle of prophets and begin broadcasting “news” about im- minent revivals of trade; cheerful out- looks for business and prosperities at hand. Now when these captains talk like that it is a safe wager that there is something rotten in Den- mark. And the curious thing about it is that they know it. We quote the following from the Annalist of Janu- ary, 12, 1925: “It is highly desireable in the in- terest of business itself and of the general welfare that this stock taking (yearly inventories) should be ex- tended beyond the lists of material goods on the shelyes. The mental attitude of the business man toward the conduct of his business is an im- Pertant part of his inventory, and there is evidence that a good many mental shelves are cluttered with ‘op- timistic rubbish’ which ought to be cleared out and written off before the year’s campaign is launched.” To get the real significance of the above paragraph, it is necessary to bear in mind that the Annalist is not a popular bourgeois organ. It is pub- lished primarily for the information of business executives, both industrial and financial. Its circulation is insig- nificant but for the fact that it is read and studied-by those individu: in the community whose positions col- lectively is of enormous importance in the business world. Hence all these rosy reports issued by Judge Gary about the imminent revival of production are to be taken for nothing but “optimistic rubbish.” Judge Gary is not a fool. He knows what he is about. His broadcasting is not aimed at the business men. It is for the consumption of the dear old public, In times of unemployment «4 Letter to Comrade Ruthenberg.

When the mill workers in a reduction of 10 per cent on their al- ready below margin of health wages, the bourgeois press sugars the re- duction with a rosy picture of better times in the near future. This should be a salutary example to the class conscious worker. One must discount heavily all the optim- istic broadcasting indulged in by our bourgeois editors to stifle the grow- ing rumblings of the unemployed. The bourgeoisie are capable of endless inventions of new lies, “statistics” and “imminent revivals of trade” to confuse the workers. That the cap- tains of industry know they lie is evi- dent from the more critical bourgeois journals. The Annalist is a good ex- ample, i ‘ * . Postpone Moslem Congress.

Tell us what YOU are ~ Detroit Is At It Again! HE Detroit local has a chronic malady that seems to be “Builditie.” It's Incurable and those In its grip insist on building the DAILY WORKER. This local already has a functioning committee. They have a full- time agent to look after newsstand circulation; and now they choose Alfred Goetz to act as full-time sub- agent. And this comrade must also be infected as today’s mail carries the evidence: Every branch in the local has been visited with special sub cards on a local campaign and about 500 have been issued. The best hustlers will receive the following prizes: 1) A’ brief case; 2) A year’s sub to the Imprecor; 3) A bust of Lenin; 4) A year’s sub for the Communist International; 5) A year’s sub for the British Communist Review. The branch prize will be a gorgeous red silk banner, 24x30 inches, with a sickle and hammer and name of the winning branch. Quotas for each branch have been set—mostly at a sub per mem- ber and a banquet and dance has been arranged to be held on March 1 to wind up the campaign. Federation papers will be asked to carry news of the campaign and something tells us that many more comrades in Detroit will be infected with that Detroit malady which builds the DAILY WORKER and the Workers Party 8 quickly—and which we hope is so “catching” that it infects many other locals in the party. ENTERTAINMENTS AND EATS APLENTY AT THE BIG JOINT BAZAAR OF LABOR DEFENSE AND I. W. A. IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Jan, 20—The joint bazaar which has been arranged by the International Workers’ Aid and the Labor Defense Counci witi not be merely for raising funds for relief and defense. tainment and fun. It will also be four days of enter- Fine concerts have been arranged for each evening. The first evening will be known as Finnish Night. The Finnish comrades of the Workers Party will do several gymnastic feats; ¢—————______________. there will be a Finnish band of 50 pieces, two Finnish singers, a violinist and dancers. The next evening there will be a pantomime, a violinist and a singer, and the German “mass” de- clamation society. The third evening will be the star evening: the Hunga- rian symphony orchestra, the Freiheit Singing Society and a violinist. Saturday afternoon is “Junior” Day. There will be a children’s orchestra of 25 pieces, the children of the Modern School in dances, and the Junior groups of the Young Workers League, will give a specifically children’s -pro- gram. Saturday evening will be a costume ball—and in all probability this will be one of the finest balls of the season. Many comrades..are preparing their costumes, and surprises are expected. One of the special features of the Bazaar will be the Indian booth. All persons entering the booth will disap- pear in smoke and then be brought back to the flesh. There will be all kinds of Indian tricks, that will take away your breath. In order that mothers and their children may stay all day at the Ba- zaar, and that the workers may go directly there from their work there Rates: Outside of Chicago—$6 a months, UNCLE WIGGILY'S TRICKS “This wor't wake him up.” = Just to Remind You of the. year, $3.50 six months, $2.00 three In Chicago—$8.00 a year, $4.50 six months, $2.50 three months will be a fine cafeteria, which the Amalgamated Food Workers is taking charge of, But to be sure that no one will go away hungry, the Italian com- rades of the Workers Party are putting up a Spaghetti booth, at which spa- ghetti in its tastiest form will be served, The Greek and Armenian com- rades will have eastern dainties and coffee.
