Of course, the government will use force to back up its anti-strike legisiation— but the workers will ultimately be strong enough to meet that, too. “Comrade Lady” Mos'ej By CATO JONES. N. these times when imperialism rules five-sixths of the earth and the proletarian revolution leaps for- ward to the challenge, the “socialist” parties of all countries are forced to reveal themselves, not a party of the working class at all, but the left wing of the party of capitalist order. Not as parties having the goal of social- «ism, but’ so to say, special subdivi- /osions of-the bourgeois party, special- izing in converting workers into sup- porters of the capitalist order. Amusing incidents ‘show it. Some time ago the Berlin “Vorwaerts” was making a hero off “Genosse Pfarrer Schmidt” (Comrade Parson Schmidt), if we remember the name of the preacher correctly. Now comes Will- iam Morris Feigebaum of the decrepit American socialist party’s organ “The New Leader,” to speak in unconcealed homage of “Comrade Lady Cynthia Mosley.” In an article entitled “Distortion of Lady Mosley’s Socialism,” Feigen- baum tells how the dear noblewoman of the British peerage came into the “socialist” movement, title and all. Feigenbaum reverently remarks that the public interest in the matter was due largely to the Comrade Lady’s antecedents, and that: “Her father was that ‘most supe- rior person, George Nathaniel Cur- zon, Marquis of Keddleston, once Viceroy of India, the most terrific swell.in the British empire and the most magnificently aristocratic to- ry. Her mother was the daughter of ' one of the great Chicago millionair- es, she is one of the most beautiful women in England, and when she married the biue-blooded Oswald Mosley, youthful tory M. P., the king and queen (god bless them) attended the wedding, and the king was godfather to their child,” —and yet the lady is “going to do ‘ing the American everything in her power to about socialism,” How is she going to do it? Thru promoting the class struggle of the workers against the capitalist class? Oh—NO! Only thru “combatting pre- judice,” says the lady, and says Feigenbaum, It’s all just a matter of prejudice. There is no class strug- gle except in the mind of some fellow “without a constructive idea in his head.” i Mr. Feigenbaum says further that: “Recently Comrades Oswald and Cynthia made a propaganda tour,” and... “After the last meeting the two gently born comrades stood in the streets surrounded by count- less thousands of workers and led them in singing ‘The Red Fiag’” _ Lady © Cynthia—"Comrade’ Lady” Cytithia—has written to Mister Com- rade Feigenbaum repudiating the idea that she meant to say in the Hearst papers that a socialist party member in America is “dn anarchist or nihil- ist, a red revolutionary without a constructive idea in his head.” She writes that she is sure the dear Am- erican comrades “hold practically the same view on all great questions that we do here (in England),” and send- socialist party “every good wish in your struggle against prejudice.” “Mister, Comrade” Feigenbaum winds up with saying that the noble bring | Lady Cynthia Mosley, and “blue-blood- ed” Oswald as well, expect to visit the United States shortly, and that it is expected that they will speak for the socialist party of the United States! We vote for Mister Comrade Feig- enbaum to be Comrade Lady Cfnthia’s gentleman in waiting on the royal tour to try to revive the dead counter- revolutionary socialist party, which has reached the point where it must even worship the titles of a decaying aristocracy. To the Left Wing in the American Labor Movement By RUDOLPH N. HARJU. 'HE gloom is breaking. You are moving Toward the rising sun. Altho hungry and exhausted, With burning backs From the stings of your master’s lash. Yet, you are strong. You dare to rise in revolt, Determined and bold, To throw off the yoke That is decades old. Bolstered today, By traitors and enemies Entrenched in the unions Built by the workers. Hillman, Sigman, Johnston, Lewis, Green and his gang; You will consign to hell, And teach them what it means to the unions, To expell The Communists Who fight \ Side by side With all the workers, To rid the unions From the menace of shirkers. You rise in revolt Against the tools Of capitalists, Under the leadership Of Communists. If you take heed Of their advice, You’re sure to succeed In your fight, Against this traitor band, As it is the Communists Who understand The role that the left wing plays, In the movements of masses That are inevitable, In the death struggle of classes.
