The DAILY. WORKER Raises the Standard for a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government j } i By T. J, O'FLAHERTY ACKSON D. CARLISLE of Chicago is no more’ than anybody else iwvould be after having his head almost ompletely separated from his’ body by a sharp instrument, with suspl- feions fixed’ on an axe. -Our interest \eenters' on Carlisle because ‘of his onnections with various adventures Mhat did not have the welfare of any- hboay in particular, except Carlisle in este One of those was the reaction- tery Orozco revolt in Mexico in 1912 jagainst the Madero @overnment. NE of’ Carlisle’s accomplishments in that revolt was attaching boxes jot dynamite to the cowcaitcher of a locomotive, opening the throttle and ‘running it into the ranks of the Ma- }dero. troops, many of -whom were {slaughtered by the ensuing explosion. iNow, Carlisle's surviving friends ; would not be at all surprised to learn Hthat Carlisle got the axe from some jonée who did not appreciate his serv- lices to civilization. The fellow who \said that the wages of sin is death jsaid a mouthful tho all people ex- ;cept christian scientists die sooner or jater. was Frank Farrington justified in f accepting a position from a coal j company at five times the salary paid !him by the Illinois Miners’ Union? All \progressive trade unionists will say I“No!” The reactionaries will say | nothing, not wishing to put anything [on paper that could be quoted against them when they cash in. Farrington tig no more of a political turp for {having accepted a salary from. the | Peabody Coal company than William |B. Wilson, in accepting a paid job in the Wilson cabinet. Yet Wilson is supported for senator in Pennsylvania on the democrat ticket by the so-call; ed labor press that will not dare ex- {onerate Farrington. | ARRINGTON has harm he could to the Iinois min- hers while he was their district »presi- dent. In all probability nis salary 1s }miuch'‘in the nature of a compensa- \aion for past services to the Peabody Coal company as for what he may be able to do for them in the future. It would be well for the coal miners jot the United States if John L. Lewis jgot on some operator’s payroll and stopped drawing a large salary from the international union. HE Coolidge backers for’ another term insist that the man who claimed that he broke the Boston po- lice strike is responsible for the pros- jpenity that obtains in this country at the present time. Needless to say, the workers who produce this wealth re- ceive .only a minority fraction of it. iCoolidge has no more to do with it jthan the ashes of King Tut, but his presence in the White House assures feapital that in case the workers in- ‘gist on getting a bigger slice of this { prosperity, the injunction will be kept ibusy and the armed forces, if neces- sary.

This speech was also reprinted by the New Leader, the New York socialist organ, on August 14, yt In thle baa Stalin is made to say, among other things, the fol- lowing: “Thi is petson (again pointing at Zinoviey) thru his unguarded, idiotie ieaes has brought about a situation making it im- possible for @ur foreign bureau to come to any measure of agree- ment or (ui ‘standing with the outside world, without whose credit or mathfactured goods Russia cannot exist much longer. “Capitalizing his early association with our beloved leader he has kept world public opinion in constant and perpetual fear of Russia. He alone is responsible for the failure of a treaty with England. His idiotic acts and talks alienated even the sym- pathies of those in America against what they termed ‘world revolution.’ “Enough of that talk! Enough of that idiotic slogan! Enough of that senseless letter writing to every idiot in foreign countries who pictures himself'as a man who can lead millions to rebellion against capitalism, “That person (still pointing his finger at Zinoviey) has alien- ated the sympathy of even every socialist against us thruout the world. “He has made our regime an anthema to English socialism. “He has made us the laughing stock of the world. * And what tor? “We knew Russia, and because we knew the Russian mind our revolution was successful. “But do we know the mind of the American proletarian? “Did we know the mind of the English working man? “We did not. “But thanks to that person (pointing at Zinoviev) we have learned considerable of the attitude of the working class in every industrial country. And that. attitude is against us.” ee She eee | VERYONE having the slightest knowledge of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its leader, knew that this speech was a fabrication and that Stalin could not have made such a speech, because Stalin and the whole leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union are earnest supporters of the Communist International and of the viewpoint that the final triumph of the workers’ revolution in the Soviet Union can only come thru the triumph of the world proletarian revolu- tion. The official repudiation and branding of the above speech as an In- vention of some newspaper correspondent is now in the hands of the Central Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party, in the form of the following. telegram, from.John Pepper, chief of the agitation. and propaganda department of the Communist International: Workers (Communist) Party of America, Report Stalin’s speech in New Leader, Aug. 14th, is absolute fabrication PEPPER. HIS example of mendacity In perverting events in the Soviet Union should be a warning to all workers to look with suspicion upon similar reports of conditions in the Soviet Union. The workers’ and peasants’ government of the Soviet Union is step by step overcoming the difficulties of reconstruction of its economic sys- tem and building of a new social order after years of imperialist war, proletarian revolution and counterrevolution. The standard of life of the workers and peasants is rising. They are free from the oppression and exploitation of capitalism. They are creating a new social life. Cap- italism is gone forever so far as the Soviet Union is concerned and the socialist economy is developing in its place. HE Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in spite of the differences which have arisen regarding internal policy, is a unit in the fight to bulld a socialist economic system and for the world proletarian revolu- tion. The Soviet government is stronger than ever and has the loyal enthusiastic support of the great masses of workers and peasants, The capitalist and socialist enemies of the Soviet Union may wish that conditions in the Soviet Union were otherwise, but the facts are that the progress of the Soviet Union in creating a workers’ society continue to be the great inspiration of the work: ind farmers the world over to take up the revolutionary str their own workers’ and farmers’ government to end the rule of capitalist exploitation and oppression, ig |MUSIC STRIKE CONTINUES AS New York, Sept. on British Situation NEW YORK, Bepes — Scott Near- is in England at- He is reporting this con- New Agreement after returning from day night.

For this reason plans are in the making to add Philadelphia and, pos- sibly, New York to Hampton Roads and Baltimore as “scab” coal export- ing ports.

But Hampton-Roads need not worry about these plans, Its merchants, growing rich from profits made thru purchases of longshoremen and others working night and day to load scab coal on ships, may continue to gloat over their profits. Hampton Roads has again smashed all records for shipment of coal over- seas, according to figures for the month of August issued today. Even its own previous high record, made in July, has been passed, Nor- folk and Newport News, twin ports of Hampton Roads, getting a place in the black pages of the future history of “scabbery” as the greatest marine center for shipment of coal to break the British miners’ strike.
