Advertising idauaea on application | erasers senssereenseoe sone GItOTS ...Business Manager 0) Morgan’s Manifesto—A Danger Signal for the| American Workingclass Something very like a panie has occurred in the ranks of the tndustrial capitalists of America, sitting snugly behind a high tariff | wall, with the announcement that J. P. Morgan*and other powerful finance capitalists have endorsed a plan designed to wipe out the tariff frontiers in western and central Wurope and establish a free trade system to release the clogged arteries of continental produc tion and exchange. Bven Coolidge, the smugly subservient office-boy of Wall Street, has been jarred out of his customary and constitutional dumbness long enough to announce that he is against any lowering of the tariff. Tt may seem fantastie to many that the very same capitalists who own and eontrol the republican party, the party of high tariff, should subscribe to a free trade policy for Europe which {s bound to have important repercussions in this country, But the billions ef dollars in interest and princtpal which the European govern ments and capitalists owe to the American bankers can be paid only if Buropean commodities can be gold in the world markets and «| very profitable section of the world market is in the United States.| ‘The conflict in interest between industrial and finance capital-| ists is shown extremely well by the editorial comment on the bank-| ere free trade document made by sheets which speak for the two | THE DAILY The New York Times, organ of big finance, welcomes the state | ment and categorically announces that {ts principles apply, not only | to Burope but America. | Says the Times: | + sos. Of the statements to whitch they est their names are | true, they are as good for thts country ae they are for Europe. | We cannot allow foreigners to have @ monopoly of sound econ | omic doctrine. The fact is that then bankers assert that if we | do not permit imports we cannot expect to have exports, they | ore uttering a truth for which they have the dest protectlonist and American authority. But the Chicago Tribune, organ of the big industrialists of the, middle west, becomes almost hysterically abusive: In our opinion the doowment is a Trojan horse. It would commit us to assumptions we do not accept as to the wisdom or | justice of the American economio polloy, and we resent the at- | tempt to embarrass and commit us. It seems to us folly to sup- pose that we can afford to lecture Buropean nations on their policies of economic defense, however, misapplied or miscon- -colved they may be in their circumstances, while at the same time we maintain as essential to our oton welfare a system in principle the same. If the logic of the manifesto is to be arrested on our threshold, THE SIGNATURES OF MR, MORGAN AND THE OTHER AMBRICANS ARH AN IMPHRTINENOD. (Emphasis ours.) ra | The battle for the world markets is on in earnest with the recent organization of huge industrial trusts like that of the Franco-Ger-| man-Belgian-Luxembourg steel bloc, and similar gigantic combina-| tions in chemicals, mining, and electrical manufacture. | Beropean industry must have markets, the underpaid labor of! Europe must be allowed to compete with American labor, or the; billions owed to the bankers cannot be paid. This contradiction | in the system of capitalism now finds expression here in America. There is a new era of struggle opening between industrialists and financiers. How bitter:the conflict will be depends to a large extent upon the success which has attended to ‘efforts of the finance cap- italists te bring industry ‘completely under their control. Tariff or no tariff, the American working class can know now that in the near future, whether bankers or industrial lords hold the reins of government, that a systematic assault on their wages and working conditions will be made all along the line. The American working class faces new struggles. The free trade manifesto of the bankers is a danger signal for ‘ San Yat Sen Deceased organizer and leader of the Chinese national liberation move- ment whose party, Kuomingtang, In close co-operation with the Chinese Communist Party, heade the struggle China, basing their party structure on the workers and peasants and maln- taining friendly relations with the workers’ and peasants’ government of | the Soviet Union. Milwaukee Workers Urged to Witness the American working class, a warning that it must organize the unorganized, amalgamate and strengthen its trade unions, link up its wage and hour struggles with the broad class struggle and direct its forces against the instrument of the capitalist class, the capitalist state, thru a party of its own—e labor party. | WCFL Radio Program | Chicago Federation of Labor radio broadcasting station WOFL is on the air with regular programs.

SPEAKER TAKEN BY BOSTON COPS By 8. D. LEVINE. (Speolal to The Dally Worker) BOSTON, Mass., Oct, 22.—Bert Mil- ler, district organizer of the Workers’ Party, was arfested at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Essex street, Cambridge, and placed under @ $100 bail while addressing an open air meeting in behalf of the Workers Party state candidates. Miller attacked the candidacy of David I, Walsh, democratic candidate for U. 8, sgmate, who pretends to be a friend of labor. Miller, before a big, interested audience, showed up the record of Walsh as anti-labor and for the interest of the big railroad mag- nates. This evidently did not please one of the Walsh supporters in the crowd, who began to heckle the speaker and finally called upon the police to ar- rest him. This they did. When asked by Miller why he was arrested, the answer came: “Disturbing the peace,” and that the neighboring business men objected to his meeting. Cambridge, the name of America’s great university, joined the line of Massachusetts cities where free speech is not allowed to be exercised and the university police, instead of sting the man who wanted to dis- tarb a. peaceable meeting, arrestod the speaker, put him in a/ patrol. wagon, took him toa police station and locked him up in a cell until re ased on bail. This is the democracy workers are getting in Coolidge’s home state, peas ern OE | cannon, the English, Americans, Japa- | nese and French are ruling in China, and compelling the workers to pay for the chains which bind them hand and foot. “But Tecent years haye Ghown that the workers and peasants of China are not willing to be mere imple-| ments of world imperialism.

BRITISH SCABS ATTACK WOMEN PIGKETS IN DATE STRIKE Police ‘Aeron Eléven; Nine Strikers Bgged on by the bosses, who are be- coming desperate in their attempt to break the strike of the 150 Negro women date stuffers in Ohicaga, scabs employed by the Maras and Compthy factory, 214 West Kinzie street, at- tacked a group of pickets Friday morning, The scabs were armed with knives and clubs, furnished them by the bossds, tt is reported: / Arrest Nine Strikers. When the strikers repulsed the at- tack and had*eucceeded in almost routing the armed scabs, police were called. Nine of the striking women were taken to jail, while only two of the scabs were arrested, No one was seriously tnjured in the melee, but. many came away with-| bruises and torn clothing. The nine strikers wers balled ont by the Chicago Federation of Labor, which came to their aid as soon as news of the arrests reached them. Bail was set at $50 each, Boss Urges Battle. For several days prior to the open attack on the pickets it has been no- ticed that the scah workers were be- the pickets, But their attacks until Friday were verbal, and. the pickets paid little attention, going about their work. Because they were working so successfully, getting women who had not walked out with the original group and new workers to join the strike, is the reason the scabs were urged to make Friday's attack, union leaders say. The boss. of the company took an active part in the “battle,” assuming the hole of “general,” until things be- came too warm, and then he sought shelter, The police, as usual, treated the strikers roughly in taking them to headquarters, This is the third time arrests have been made in connection with the struggle of the Negrq women to com- bat the beating down of wages at the date factory. On)two other occasions picketé. were arrested when carrying on their work peacefully. The strike was called’ October 2. The workers have formed a temporary union and are working toward a per- manent, chartered organization.
