This is not the first time the capitalists have quaffed the victory cup over the imaginary demise of the class struggle. They will be) just as disappointed in their hopes for’a liquidation of the class | struggle in England as they were in their oft-entertained hope that each succeeding bandit that attempted to return Russia to absolutism would be successful. What is in substance the “new wage policy” of the A. F. of L. has been edopted by the official leadership of the British trade union movement. They have repudiated the theory that the working class must own the whole of their products and that the portion of the fruit of industry that now goes into the pockets of capitalism is legalized robbery. The “new wage policy” of A. F. of L. is merely a more scientific exposition of the Gompersian twaddle of “a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work.” The idea is that the workers should produce more if the employer is to be in a position to pay him more. It is class collaboration at the pick handle or at the machine. When Arthur Pugh, chairman of the T. U. C., declared at Bourne- mouth for a “scientific wage policy for generally acceptable prin- ciples of division of the products of industry among those who have a claim on it,” he was speaking the language of the A. F. of L. bureaucracy as only an English labor faker can do it. Pugh, Mac- Donald and the rest of the king’s laber lackeys will continue to sing the “Red Flag” at mass metings and kiss the king’s red toe at Buckingham palace levees. The British labor leaders are adepts at that kind of thing. Our own Green dines with Cal Coolidge at Paul Smith’s. What is the difference? There is none, excepting the high cost, of knee breeches in England and the superior merit of cham- pagne to Canadian Scotch, eee The British labor leaders can afford to smoke the pipe of peace with British capitalism, but the British workers who are now on the brink of starvation cannot. Class collaboration worked out mighty fine for the Frank Farrington’s, O’Connors and Wilsons in America but the miners and the longshoremen want bread and meat not the rationalization of betrayal. Our capitalist editors may gloat over the betrayal of the British strike and the let-down of the miners. It is a black page in working class history. But the working class know how to work while they wait. There will be another Scarborough for English la- bor and another Waterloo for British capitalism and the labor fakers. Those that gloat last gloat best. Perhaps British labor has not aceesennseesnenensscomeenseornsenssseesseses LGItORS, <0 yet drained the bitter cup to the dregs, but the worst is yet to come —for capitalism. ne The Second I. L. D. Conference The ending of the first year’s activities, of the International Labor Defense and the summary of its activities show that such an organization has a tremendous and useful field in the American la- bor movement. We think that many radical and progressive work- ers do not yet quite realize the full importance and necessity of this work of unity for the defense of relief of labor’s imprisoned fighters and the assistance to their loved ones left, outside of prison. Several erroneous ideas and mistaken policies have in the past nurtured a tactic in labor defense that actually frustrated the aim in view, the release and relief of every worker imprisoned by the enemy class. First, the belief anything must be done about their defense. As a result, hurriedly organized committees, lacking experience and widespread mechanism, had to fight an up-hill battle to arouse the working class generally, and often the prisoners were already on the point of execution or their case disposed -of by the capitalist courts before their case got the ear of the labor’ movement as a whole. " Secondly, while it has nearly always been necessary for the organization to which a class war prisoner belonged to appeal to the working class as a whole for support-ef-moral or material kind in order to be effective, this has been difficult because of the sec- tional nature of such a committee. Often ‘the appeal was not re- sponded to properly because of the rivalry or hostility between the organization appealing and the organizations appealed to. This, in spite of the fact that every prisoner of whatever organ- ination, belongs to the working class first and deserves the aid of the whole working class movement. The frequently persecuted un- organized workers were generally victimized still more, since nobody interested themselves in these obscure cakes: The International Labor Defense has shown what ean be done to unite the various elements into a powerful and permanent organ- ization, non-partisan and devoted to the .aid of imprisoned fighters without regard to their political belief or organizational affiliation. It has shown by its work that it helps all alike, responding so far as possible to every case arising where its assistance could be given. Here is a movement, permanent and ready to act for any pris- oner. Here is a movement which any worker can join, assured that his efforts will accomplish something vital, Make the I. L. D. grow! Calvin Coolidge is opposed to a contest in naval building with England. This statement will give little consolation to British statesmen, who are always justifiably suspicious of kind words from rivals. George E. Brennan made a bid for the labor vote in Illinois by telling them that the heaviest contributors to the Anti-Saloon League were the Rockefellers who expected to make dependable machines out of their employes. He did not. explain why Sam Insull, multi-millionaire utility magnate, gave him $15,000 for his cam- paign. “+ © ORR RRUNPRURRE RUMONIERIN SVNA W's BRIER. LU NBER | landing.

The party is now definitely on the ballot for the November state elec- tions, in which the leading capitalist parties will be hard pressed for an explanation of the corruption, bribery and slush fund methods in use dur- ing the primaries, The party intends to wage an energetic campaign in this stronghold of the coal barons and steel magiiates, We will speak to the, workers on the union-smashing campaigns in the bitu- minous flelds, the intensified exploita- tion in the steel and Other industries, the relative fall of the'wadge scale and the necessity for organization. We will remind the workers of the state- ment made by Senator Jim Reed that it is almost impossiblé for a man of moderate means to attain to public office on the capitalist party tickets because of the wholesale buying up of offices by agents of capitalism— and we will put forward the issue of a genuine labor party. Party Leads Workers, The DAILY WORKER has splendid opportunities of becoming the cham- pion of the organized and unorganized workers in our district. The anthracite miners have not for- gotten the sell-out of the last strike by John L. Lewis, and view with alarm the chaotic condition of the | United Mine Workers’ Union in the bituminous fields. The open betrayal by Frank Farrington ‘of ‘Illinois has brought the conviction that if the United Mine Workers of America union is to be saved the Lewis ma- chine, of which Farrington was & part, must be swept out of office in the com- ing elections, Thousands of steél worRers in Beth- lehem and Sparrows Point, Md., are chafing under the company union plan and are ready for organization, The rubber workers in Trenton and | Philadelphia, working 55 to 60 hours and making $14 to $20 per week, are awaiting the call for organization, Many Thousands Are Ready. Then there are the tens of thou- sands of metal workers laboring un- der the contract system, co-operative plan and the newly-introduced com- munity scheme, and the 80,000 textile workers before whom stands the he- roic example of the Passaic strike. The DAILY WORKER should and can become the organizer and leader of these workers. This is the task which we have set out to accomplish. We are confident that the members of the party and the league in District No. 3 will do their share in making The DAILY WORKER a mass organ.

FIRST OF LENIN COLLECTION T 0 BE PRINTED HERE Very little of the writings of Nikolai Lenin, the man who admittedly left the deepest mark on post-war Europe, is available in English. The Lenin Institute in Moscow, organized after his death to gather all his writings, is preparing a definitive edition of his works, in twenty-five volumes. The first of the Collected Works of N. Lenin to be issued periodically by In- ternational Publishers in an author- ized translation will be War and Revo- Jution, dealing with labor’s attitude towards the World War and Material- ism and Critical Empiricism, a bril- Mant philosophical study, Lenin on War. In the first book Lenin outlines a program by which the war between nations could be turned into a war be- tween classes, Besides the develop- ment of this basic theme, the volume includes important contributions on nationalism, social chauvinism, a United States of Europe, peace with- out annexations or indemnities, self- determinatfon of small natio! dis- armament, and socialist participation in the government. The book helps to explain the ideological background of the Russian Revolution, Philosophical Work. In Materialism and Critical Empirl- elsm Lenin subjects the empirical and positivist schools of philosophy to a merciless criticism. He dubs them reactionary and gives a lucid exposi- FIFTH COMMUNIST YOUTH CONGRESS WORKERS OWNG WORKERS LCAGUE HEARS REPORT OF COMRADE DORIOT PARIS, France, August 28— (by mail)—I am going to give youl a report from the 5th French Communist Youth Congress which wasi held on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th of August. It was opened by a great speech from Comrade Doriot, the well~ known be acne deputy who is geoisie o: here are his chief words: a‘ “The capitalist > seems to have im- proved his sit uation since the end of the war. Therefore, the economical con- tradictions aré developing every- where, for exam- ple in England with the big min- ers’ strike. In- ternational con- flicts are coming on: . France, aly and Spain, and above all: England and U. 8S. A. Amid the capitalist world, furiously Plagued, Russia is standing up—not to be afraid with the exclusion of Zinoviey out of the Russian party po- litical bureau; the unity of this party is not threatened—Zinoviev was ex- cluded on account of indiscipline. The French industry has improved its. concentration in steel, coal, wool and cotton, The working class must realize its unity. In France, the capitalist class claims for a dictatorship to dump the debts question on the shoulders of the workers. Fascism threatens this country, we have to fight strongly; the Communist youth must be at the head of the movement to unite the mass under the red flag and lead it for the workers’ and peasants’ goy- ernment. : On the second day, there were dis- cussions about the statement of the general secretary given as the line: ie. (opposition to the capitalist of- fensive). At last the statement was unanimously approved. A woman delegate from the €.°G: T. V. (Unitary general confederation of Workers) spoke about the girls’ and women’s situation in the move- ment. Against the French common idea, the women must work in the shops; now, she has, and she will have in the future society her place in| the economical life as a producer, she will not stay at home as in a heaven. A delegate from the rural district relates the big difficulties in carrying on propaganda among the young peas- ants, whose wages have more in- account of his right and inflexible anti-militarist action ;i PEPE PRESALE SEE AOE aa CED It-} highly hated by the French bour-; creased than that of the industrial{ workers.. Therefore, often they havay had food and a very long day’s work, but they are scattered and nearly| never reached with our words and pur poses, Then an English comrade spoke to} the Congress of the huge fight of the! miners and the action of the young! English Communists during the min- ers’ and the general strike. He was furiously acclaimed by the whole Con- gress, Qn the third day, there were state~ | ments about economic and sports aw tion; everywhere the young Commu- nists must-go and attempt to unite! and organize the mass in the proletar- jan organizations. Anti-Fascism on Agenda, An Italian comrade gave a talk about the action of the young Com- munists against fascism. They have been fighting for four years against: the most hateful reaction and many of them have been struck to death. In spite.of it, they have held an illegal congress and given their words to the mass for political and economic unity against fascism and the coming war, He was highly applauded. His speech was followed by a dis- cussion about antifascist action. They settled on creating the “Young anti-Fascist Guards” among the young, workers to unite the youth against the fascist leagnes. | The last day began with the state~ | ment of a soldier and a sailor speake ing to the congress, in military clethed, —they speak about the “Great Fam- ily” as the officials call the Army and Navy and they describe the bad treat- ment they have to bear and the de- mands they have to fight for. Now, the delegate from the Young Communist International comes and speaks of the duties of the young | Communists in France, which are to | carry on big propaganda, for unity | among the masses to prepare the sucs cess of a revolutionary movement when the time will come. For an end, Comrade Doriot, whose Place is now in the party, takes leave |of the youth and his words, ‘are ap- Plauded by the delegates which part with the song of the International.
