It involves the “Hil! roads”——the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy—whose combined capital is more than $1,500,000,000, Arthur Curtiss James, director of the Great Northern and the largest individual holder of railroad securities ,n the country, indicated that merger Dlans were under way in dispatches received in the financial district, 28,000 Miles.

Williams to the su- perfor court bench. Governor Alvan T. Fuller made the appointment just prior to his departure for a vacation abroad after being re-elected republi- can governor of the state. Williams was assistant district attorney in Nor- folk county in 1920-21 and aided in the prosecution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzett!, the two Italian workers who were framed up on a murder charge ‘when the United States government failed to secure their deportation ag radicals. In the last motion for new trial filed by these workers, their attorney brot out strong evidence indicating a conspir- acy between state and federal govern- ments to convict Sacco and» Vanzet- ti. Williams, sometime after the con- viction of these workers in 1921, was made U. S. attorney in this district.

Austrian’ Socialists Aid Capitalists Strengthen Tyranny Against Labor By J. LOUIS ENODAHL. E the days when Communists were making’ their exodus en masse from the American socialist party, its theoretical leader, Mor- ris Hillquit, argued frantically that the Communists were not Marx- ians, declaring especially that Karl Marx had never mentioned the dic- tatorship of the proletariat in any of his writings, and here the Com- munists, even in the United States of America, were demanding tho dictatorship in the form of soviets during the transition period *from capitalism to Communism. Argu- ing thus, Hfllquit claimed the social- ists were the ohly real .Marxians, the only true disciples of Karl Marx. Of course, Hillquit had to close his eyes to everything that Marx had ever written in order to cling to his untenable position. It is suffict- ent here to quote what Marx said in the Gotha program: “Between the capitalist and the Communist sotiety there Mes the period of the revolutionary trans- formation of the one into the other. Accordingly there will be a political transition period whose state can- not be other than the revolution- ary dictatorship of the proletariat.” ee Messrs. Bauer, Renner & Co., in the best . Hillquitian sense, have now put their Austrian Social-Dem- ocratic party thru the motions of adopting a new program which they claim {s entirely Marxist. The bold claim is made that “the entire trend of ideas in the draft 1s Marxist.” Such hypocricies are not uncommon among the Austrian socialists who offered themselves as the vanguard in the attack on the Communist In- ternational thru the organization of the Vienna (Two-and-a-Half) Inter- national, with their own Fritz Adler as one of its chief heroes. Like many European. socialists who gave Jip service to the revolu- tion in the days following the world war, American socialists were not backward in claiming they were in favor of affiliation with the Commu- nist International “with reserva- tions.” - When it became clear that the position of the Communist Interna- tional was for affiliation without reservations, then American social- ists drifted toward the Vienna In- ternational, then declared for no international affiliation. Now they sit with the Austrian socialists back in the Second (Socialist) In- ternational, helping as best they can, according to their special abil- ities, in serving the interests of cap- italism. se The New York Times spends a goodly sum to have about 1,200 words cabled to this country re- viewing the new Austrian program adopted in the congress just ad- journed at Lintz. It is good news RADICALS WIN VICTORY WHEN CO-OP LEAGUE UNANIMOUSLY ALLIES SELF WITH U. S. WORKING CLASS MOVEMENT By DOROTHY GARY, Federated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, Noy. 10.—After a 3-day struggle behind the scenes be- tween the radicals and the more conservative wings, the 5th biennial con- gress of the Co-operative League of America meeting in Minneapolis voted unanimously that the co-operative movement must be a definite part of the working class movement, It further declared that it must co-operate with all organized worker and farmer organizations. The radicals had wanted a still more outspoken Jeclaration while the conservatives ¢—————_______________ wanted the movement to remain neu- ral, leaving participation in work- ng class activity to the individual aembers. Second Victory. The forward note was sharply sounded by George Halonen of the Superior, Wis., co-operatives when he declared, “The aim of our movement is to replace capitalism by the co- operative commonwealth, Capitalism is highly centralized and uses the sthte for its own purposes, *In Great Brit- ain the co-operatives sided with the workers against the state in the gen- eral strike. In Italy the cd-operatives remained neutral in the class struggle. The Italian co-operatives are dead, the British ones are working out still greater unity with the trade unions and strike committees, “In Russia the co-operative move- ment with 11,000,000 members is the biggest in the world, and no wonder, for there the workers and peasants have taken the state away from the capitalists and are,Duilding a worker social structure,” Mesting In U. 8. In his opening address Pres, J. P. Warbasse of the league said co-opera- tive progress in the United States is slow because the majority of the peo- ple dre satisfied with the capitalist system, which {s regarded as the natu- ral thing in the schools, churches, busi- ness enterprises, legislatures, and courts. x The congress seated 64 delegates for the American imperialist inter- ests that have adopted Austria as @ foster child. The whole aim of the new pro- gram is to ignore the social revo- lution entirely, even forgetting to give the silghtest mention to the existence of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, while stressing every pet issue that will capture a few more votes “to win power, not in the next generation, but In the national elections next year.” Tho New York Times hails the fact that the Austrian socialists have gone thru a “decided break with several ,of the most traditional Socialist revolutionary doctrines.” 4 Raw Like American socialists, the Austrians fondly embrace the imperialist league of na- tions, urge “the defense of the re- public,” refuse to combat the dead- ening influences of religion because it might alienate some of the back- ward peasantry, avoid entirely a class analysis of the present Aus- trian state and therefore blot out PEACE BANQUET IS HELD ABOARD MARIE SPECIAL But Royal War Goes on Uniabated Aboard Queen Marie's special train, (in Colorado), Nov. 10.—Despite an attempted “peace banquet,” the in- ternal strife aboard the Roumanian special continued today ag the roya party was arriving in Denver. Severe Strain, Strained relations bordering on an open_rupture existed between the royal entourage and the official In charge of the train following the im- posing of a virtual censorship over news emanating from her majesty by Professor Nicholas Peétresco, rep- resenting Premier Athanesco of Rou- mania. A special car today was at #he dis- posal of Loie Fuller, dansetuse friend of Queen Marie and indirect cause of the new storm center. This car, fur- nished by Col. John H. Carroll, offici- al host to her majesty; was ready to Jtake Mme. Fuller to New York or any other place she desired. Birkhead Bounced. In addition, Col. Carroll announced that May Birkhead, press agent for Mme. Fuller, would l¢ave the train at Denver. Miss Birkhead, charged with intrigue by Carroll, was reported im- | the world war that has just passed ving }kept the blaze from all traces of Marx's courageous theory of the development of the internal contradictions of capital ism and of the inevitable growth in class antagonism. The Austrian so- cialists try to forget the lessons of proved in health since her recent nervous collapse. In the contact of the newspaper correspondents aboard with the queen, Maj. Stanley Washburn, afd to her majesty, has previously acted as liason officer. Professor Petresco’s announcement that hereafter he would control the press interviews and would be the one to give forth official information bid fair to lead to another conflict’ even more bitter than when Sam Hill, eccentric mil- lionaire of Washington, was expel’ed from the train. So It Goes. Mme. Fuller is Hill's friend and she indignantly protested his elimination. Professor Petresco at first announced that her majesty was annoyed with the controversy caused by the pres- ence of Mme, Fuller, and would not be sorry to see her leave in Chicago: Col. Carroll, learning of the state- ment of Petresco, immediately de- clared Mme. Fuller was his guest and would be ordered off by no one but him, and they ignore completely the forces bending toward the world so- cial revolution in the future. Thus the Austro-Marzists, in their task of helping to strengthen and “per- fect” the present Austrian capitalist state, turn traitor to all the princi. ples of Marxism. e #6 Thus the social traitors of Aus- tria follow in the trail of McDon- aldism in Great Britain that gave the British capitalists “one of the best administrations they ever had” when J. Ramsay MacDonald, as “labor premier,” entered the serv- ice of the king. The Austrians, for instance, join MacDonald, in his support of imperialist oppressions in its colonies. Thus Nikolai Buk- harin, in analyzing the Austrian Program, points out that instead of recognizing the right of oppressed peoples to rebel and pledging them- selves to support the national revo- lutions against imperialists (it is characteristic that the program does not even call these revolutions by their name) the leaderg/ of the Austrian Socialist-Democratic party speak of these colonial movements as the main reason for the danger of war! ‘ “ee American socialists wif hail the Austrian program as an endorse- ment of all their treasons to the working -class in this country. But that labels them as traitors, nonetheless. The Austrian program should give to America’s workers a clear view of the pro-capitalist role of the social-democracy in Europe at this hour.
