Se - BANNED M. P. FLAYS KELLOG IN STATEMENT Saklatvala May Come Anyhow LONDON, Oct 2.—In a further state- ment on his exclusion from the United States by an edict of Secretary of State Kellogg, Shapurji Saklatvala, Communist M. P. from Battersea, sald: “If Mr. Kellogg would give an assurance that he would prevent the entry of ex-King Manuel into the United States because he was plan- ning the overthrow of the Portuguese republic, or Mussolini. beoause he had overthrown a settled government In Italy, | should have no reason to com. plain of the ban that has been set ‘on me. “The revolutionary representatives of wealth are free to do what they like; only those of poverty, who fight the workers’ cause, are treated as I have been. May Come Anyhow. “If it could be ascertained that it would test that particular issue and crystallize the opinion of the Amer- ican people, as distinct from that of their rulers, I would go to the states in spite of the ban. “T may do so as it is, but I have had no time to decide or consult the views of other people.” Battersea For Saklatvala. The Battersea Trades Council has cabled to the interparliamentary union being held this week in Washington and to which Saklatvala was an in- vited representative, stating that the council “unanimously endorses Mr. Saklatvala’s policy of fearless ex- posure of British imperialism and ap- peals to the American people for fair play.” Resigns Business Post, Saklatvala has addressed a com- munication to Tata Ltd. the well- known English firm of which he is London representative, resigning his post saying: “One's political obliga- tions require at times a somewhat un- compromising stand, irrespective of one’s personal interests.” Philadelphia, Notice!

The police and soldiers are not used to force workers Into submission when they go on strike and fight the capitalists; they are used to protect the workers. .° The capitalist employer no. longer rules in Russian indus- ba There is no boss who hires and fires the workers at will. The Russian industrial unions have by law the right to represent the workers in the industries. They make the agreements in regard to scales of wages and the workers’ right to work. The workers’ shop committees represent the workers in the manage- ment. The workers of Russia are no longer the slaves of the capitalists; they have won their right to full participation in every phase of the work of production. The Soviet government protects the workers against injury in industry, it protects them against unemployment; it is creat- ing educational opportunities for young and old; it is creating the opportunities for recreation and the broadening of the life of the workers and peasants of Russia. Thus there is being built a new social order in which the hardship and evils, the exploitation and oppression of capitalism are being ended and the opportunity for a finer, happier life created for the workers. The Danger to Capitalism Tae Soviet Union which the workers and peasants of Russia ‘ have created is a dagger thrust at the heart of the capital- ists’ social order. The capitalists know that the success of the Russian workers and peasants in building a new social order means the death-knell of capitalism. The capitalists know that the workers of the capitalist countries will follow in the foot- steps of the workers and peasants of Russia; that they will over- throw their capitalist rulers and set to work to create better conditions of life for themselves. The Soviet Union is an inspiration to all oppressed peoples of the earth. They find in the workers’ and peasants’ govern- ment an ally and supporters in their struggles for freedom. The people of China, the people of India, the people of Africa, the people of Morocco are inspired by the triumph of the Soviet Union to take up the struggle against the imperialist capitalist countries which are robbing them. The labor unions of the Soviet Union have taken the in- itiative in uniting the trade unions of the world against capital- ism. They are seeking to draw together in one great interna- tional orgenination all the organizations of labor. The capital- ists see in this movement for trade union unity a new danger and threat against capitalism. Because the Soviet Union is the inspiration of all oppressed peoples in the struggle against imperialism, because the labor unions of the Soviet Union are creating a mighty weapon against capitalism in trade union unity, because of the glorious example of a workers’ government creating a better life for the workers and peasants which exists in the Soviet Union, in- ternational capitalism is again moving to destroy the achieve- ments of the workers and peasants of Russia. The New Attack on the Soviet Union Te negotiations now under way between Great Britain, France and Germany for the creation of a “security pact". is an effort to clear the way for an attack upon the Soviet Union. What Great Britain, France and Germany want is the security of capitalism, which can only be gained by destroying the Soviet Union. The debt negotiations of the United States government are an effort to settle the European problems in order to pave the way for the struggle against the Soviet Union.

During these periods they can be seen with their “hot dog” sandwiches standing around in the street, sitting on the curbstones, huddled together in the hallways. The lunch room is poorly equipped and dirty and there are no grounds around the building. The atmosphere is not of school, but is characteristic of fac- tory life and the boys are driven by teachers who perform the tasks of foremen. The school has about 6,000 boys and can only accommodate from 2,500 to 3,000. There are 18 portables, some as far as a half a block from the main building.

Child Exploitation Increases in Fields of Sunny California SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 1— Child slavery in California is on the in- crease. According to the information gathered by the state bureau of labor Statistics there are 5,000 children working in the fields of California. In 1920, according to the federal cenéus, there were but 1,832 children at work in the agricultural fields, Many of these children work in the cotton flelds of Fresno and Imperial Valleys.

The American capitalists) cannot take payment of their profits and interests in goods; they can only secure payment through greater invest. ment. Thus the interests of the American capitalists In other countries grows. American capitalism is seeking to protect its billions of in- vestments against the danger of revolt of the oppressed peoples and the exploited workers, which the existence of the Soviet Union inspires, and it therefore follows the policy of the most irreconcilable enemy of the Soviet Union. It refused to recog- nize the Soviet Union, It misses no opportunity to make an attack upon the Soviet Union. The'éxclusion of the Communist member of the British parliament ffom the United States, Saklatvala, and the threat of new paremutions against Communists coupled therewith, is a sign of a coming attack upon the Soviet Union. Attack Upon the Soviet Union Attack U pon All " Workers i Lage attack upon the Soviet Union is an attack upon all work- ers. If the imperialist capitalist powers can destroy the Soviet Uniori,.it will mean a wave of reaction and effort to de- stroy the labor movement the world over. The workers of the United States will find that with the danger of the Soviet Union removed the capitalists will launch an even greater attack than that through which they drove down wages, lengthened hours, and destroyed many unions in the ye shop drive of 1921-1922. apitalism, freed from the obstacles of the Soviet Union in its exploitation and oppression of colonial peoples, will drive unchecked into new imperialist struggles and a new imperialist world war. American capitalism will be free to use its investments in European industry as a means of forcing down the wages of the American workers and forcing upon them the low standard of life which it is compelling the slaves of the Dawes’ plan in: Germany to accept. Fight for the Soviet Union and the Workers’ Interests HE American workers must unite with the workers of other countries for defense of the Soviet Union and the workers’ interests. The interests of the workersjand peasants) of the Soviet Union are the interests of the workers pf every country. They are fighting against the same capitalist enemy. The same capitalist enemies which seek to destroy the Soviet Union are seeking to further oppress and exploit the workers of the United States. Every workers’ organization must place itself on record for the defense of the Soviet Union. In every city the trade unions, the co-operatives, the workers’ fraternal and political organ- izations should send delegates to a conference to unite for de- fense of the Soviet Union and to fight for the workers’ inter- ests. Form a united front of labor for defense of the Soviet Union and the workers’ interests.

IS IDEAL TOWN FOR AUTO BOSS Workers Clamoring for Dangerous Jobs By A. W. HARWITT (Worker Correspondent) FLINT, Mich., Oct. 2—Workers are lined up in front of employment offices of big automobile plants here con- tinuely from morning till night wait- ing to sell their Inbor power, The workers waiting for jobs at the big Bulck plant have to stand in a long IIne awaiting their turn to be inter- viewed. Sometimes they are hired but there is only about one out of ten that get a job. Pool System Used in Buick The Buick has the pool system of piece work and it is impossible for a worker to know how much he is going to receive till pay day. It de- pends on how much the gang makes that he works in. Some of the work- ers interviewed said that the wages Tun as low as $2.00 per day. Many men waiting for jobs have been in the line for weeks only to be told there is nothing doing when at last they reached the desk. The employment office at the Chevrolet plant is crowded all day long till the white colored flunky who sits at the desk, comes out and crisply announces that there will be nothing more doing today, “Come back tomorrow morning.” He seems to enjoy this part of his job the most, and seems to have no doubt that they will be on hand the next day. Work- ers who can not hold up till payday are not hired. Hundreds are coming to town every week of their own ac- cord while the out of town agents are shipping to Flint from points far away. Most of the men coming in are with out funds. Only Dirty and Dangerous Jobs Avallable About the only jobs to be had are in the sheet metal department, and on punch presses. The work in the sheet metal department is very hard and dirty and a man can stand it but a short time. The workers in this de- partment are saturated with oil from morning till night because they have to handle the material so fast. The punch press jobs in this plant are not very popular as it is a com- mon sight to see a worker coming trom the building with his hand swathed in bandages. When the hired flunky calls out the jobs for the punch press the workers carefully look at their fin- gers, But somebody always takes the job. Regardless of the fact that there are thousands of idle men here, the workers who have jobs are forced to work overtime. The workers don’t like the night work as they say that night work reduces their efficiency, thereby reducing their bonus. When- ever a worker cannot stand the over- time, he is fired.
