P, H. Belmont. The international alliance is composed for the most part of capitalist elements, but Mrs. Belmont and‘her party are too reac tionary even for them. It will be recalled that*the national woman’s party opposes practically all legislation in favor of limitation of hours, against night work, and other measures beneficial to working women on the ground that women should be on terms of absolute equality with.men in the iydustrial world. It ifs the propaganda of the slave drivers in the textile hells of New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Carolinas, of the department store owners who endeavor to compel the shop girls to work long hours to the detriment of their health. This scabby propaganda was too much even for the average woman suffragist and they gave the elegant Mrs. Belmont the bum’s rush out of the international conference. Mrs. Belmont’s press agent immediately issued a statement in behalf of the lady wherein the leader of the national woman’s party declared, “I had hoped for the solidarity of women all over the world.” Solidarity of social groups in this society is not and can never be based upon sex. There can be no solidarity of women as women. | Solidarity is based upon class. It is to the class interest of Mrs. | Belmont and the wives of the open shoppers to fight against any | remedial legislation for working women because it interferes with the profits of mill owners and other exploiters of labor that enables them to exist as parasites and attend European conferences and talk of “absolute equality” with the underpaid girls whose misery makes possible their opulence. Likewise it is to the interest of working women to oppose the scab propaganda of the national woman’s party. Few working women will be deceived by all this twaddle about equality with men and solidarity of women regardless of class. The only party for working women to support is a labor party, based upon the working class and not a woman’s party based upon sex. Tribune Thinks Brookhart Is a Red All who disagree with the Chicago Tribune, from Communists| to moderately conservative republicans, are branded as “red.” Be- ing utterly incapable of analyzing the conflicting social forees, the class struggle and the various shades and tendencies within the old parties themselves the Tribune editorial writers, like the religion- ists, translate their ignorance into one.word. Everything the religionist does not understand but fears is called “god.” Political phenomena that the Tribune cannot understand and fears is branded as “red.” Smith W. Brookhart, insurgent republican, who was recently ousted from the senate by the Mellon-Coolidge coalition of repub-| lieans and democrats, is waging a campaign in Towa against the Wall Street senator, Albert B. Cummins. ' Brookhart is a very moderately radical gentleman who tries: to defend the interests of the middle class and well-to-do farmers by- following in the wake of the La Folletteites of 1924 who wanted to turn back the hands of time to the close of the eighteenth century. While in the senate he opposed certain measures that were of interest to mid-western railroads that the Tribune defends. He also opposes the fake farm reforms proposed by Frank O. Lowden, the political corruptionist who lives in luxury off the wealth produced by scab labor in the Pullman shops, while the Tribune defends him. Because of these deviations the former senator is called a red. We do not know how Brookhart feels about being classified with us, but Communists certainly object to being classified with Brookhart and his ilk. Communists do not enter republican primaries and indulge in meaningless talk about that metaphysical entity known as “the people,” but point to the class character of this society and the struggle arising therefrom and strive to create a class party of labor which alone can defend the interests of the exploited masses of workers and impoverished farmers. Advertising Concerns in Merger In this period of tremendous mergers in almost every conceivable capitalist enterprise it is not surprising to learn of the merging of two of the greatest advertising concerns on earth. Announcement was made yesterday that Lord & Thomas of Chicago and Thomas F. Logan of New York, both international advertising combines, wil) amalgamate into one. The enormous surplus realized from the exploitation of labor in this country enables manufacturers to spend millions upon popular- izing their products. The advertising business has become so in- dispensable to big business that thousands of specialists in this line have joined the ranks of the large and small bourgeoisie within the past two decades. Heavy investments are made in these concerns and many publications of wide circulation do business exclusively with them. jions of Wall Street babble | of the most reactionary Wall Stre | UT whose pictures we publish here- with are known to the workers of the country, few of the thirteen They all stand on one dead level of mediocrity.

BUTLER, textile baron of Massachusetts who owns a chain of mills employing women and child labor at wages far beneath the living standard which the United States department of labor declares is the minimum for maintaining life at a normal plane, is chairman of the re- publican national committee. He has, during his term of office as a tomb- stone senator filling the place vacated by the death of Henry Cabot Lodge, consistently voted for every reaction- ary proposition of the old guard. He the New England bell-wether of the Mellon-Coolidge forces. As there will be no primary elections in Massa: chusetts, Butler will go on the ballot this fall, but will be challenged by former Senator Walsh, a democrat. To next important cog in the ad- ministration machine is Curtis of Kansas, who was chosen in the re- publican caucus as majority leader. He first became a senator in 1907,} but his support of the corrupt prac-| tices of the Aldrich gang led to his | being kicked out by the voters of his) own state in 1912. Two years later| he came back and has since been a} regular republican. With the inaugu- ration of the late Harding and the “Ohio gang” in control of the admin istration, Curtis plunged into the sea of corruption and defended everything from the oil steals to the cancellation of the Italian debt. He faces a pri mary contest on August 3 and may be repudiated by republican voters. is UNNING the whole gamut of vena! politics alongside of Curtis was Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, who start- ed his senato! career some éighteen years ago as an “insurgent,” by wag- ing a fight against the railroads, but who made rapid strides into the camp elements of his party where he has since occupied a place near the throne of Wall By H.

Surely no intelligent worker can support any of these nincompoop een- ators or aspirants for the senate. All of them, without exception are them- selves members of the ruling ‘clase, exploiters of labor, despisers of trade unionism, loyal lackeys of the Wall Street government at Washington in its crusade against all the rest of the population of the United States. These senators comprise the matn- stay of the administration. They are powerful and have filled all depart- ments of the government with func- tionaries that serve capitalism with the same unquestioning devotion tha! they.themselves serve. Their defen will temporarily embarrass the chine at Washington but will in no way impair the bureaucracy that car- ries out the wishes of American im- perialism.

Not only will the small manufacturers and middle class industrialists continue to face the powerful competition of the big trusts, but the time is not far distant When they will be unable, because of a monopoly on ad- vertising, to even familiarize the buying public with the fact that they are in existence. Furthermore the smaller advertising agencies will also be barred from the advertising mediums with the result that many of them will be forced to the wall just as capitalism im general depletes the ranks of the middle class and drives its members into the ranks ot the working class, tatiana the old Begum now reigns nominally, the nativ capitalists.
