Where are they going to get the next meal? Oh, yes, the Salvation Army will feed them on Christmas Eve and then all is slack until text Thanksgiving. It was John Boyle O'Reilly, editor of a paper that is now the official organ of Cardinal O'Connell of Boston, who tore the figleaf of charity when he said: “Organized charity, scrimped and feed, in the pay of a cautious statistical] Christ,” or something to that effec}. Charity is a capitalist buffer like religion. It does not remedy. Kk merely ereates the illusion that capitalism takes care of its victims. campaign to elect the Brophy ticket in the United Mine Workers’ Union seemstto be mak img the greatest progress in the anthracite coal vegion, stronghold of the Lewis machine. It is no exaggeration to say that on the election of the Brophy slate depends the existence of the miners’ anion. If John L. Lewis is elected, or I should’ say if he succeeds in counting out Brophy, the union is doomed. Lewis stands for collaboration with the eoal operators. This is a fatal policy—to the coal diggers. On the other hand Brophy’s policy is to organize the coal miners one hundred per cent, na tionalize the coal industry and link up the coal mining army with all the rest of labor’s forces, with the object of fighting the entire capitalist class of the United States, on the industrial field, thru mili- ‘tamt industrial unionism and on the political fleld er enein stan ae aman thru the organization of a Labor Party. Brophy has the right idea and we hope that the miners will see to it that his slate is not counted out. ° * of T is rather instructive, also amusing to watch the diplomatic contest now being waged between the governments of the United States and Mexico. It appears that the American note writers have more rifles In the corner, but the Mexicans have more brains under their fedoras. It was rather cute of Calles to remind Wall Street that ne less a persoa than Woodrow Wilson was responsible for Article 27 of the Mexican constitution, the very article that our good maa Kellogg and Charlie Hughes before him, berated the Mexicans for having formulated, the argument being that only in the minds of de praved revolutionary Latins could such subversive ideas be conceived. Our readers are urged to watch the comedy. ° ° s HE ruling classes of Massachusetts have worked their bones thru the skins of their elbows trying to bring about the assassination of Racco and Van- zettl in the electric chair on a frameu-up charge of having murdered a shoe factory paymaster. Both men are as innocent of the crime as Socrates. They were framed because they were labor organizers of the kind that care less for per capita tax than for labor solidarity and results, in terms of better living for workers. It is a significant commentary on the growth of class consciousness among the workers, despite labor banking and com- pany unionism, that American labor and world labor succeeded in preven'i'" ‘h» bloodthirsty capitalist ‘ ee | NUGGL (NDEPENDENCE ‘ - ‘By T.

With the I. L. D. on the job and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn in active charge of the campaign to organize a national con- ference to save Sacco and Vanzetti there is reason to believe that the effort will be successful, s +. s [AT dents enptntt iat the teteten news page of the Chicage Daily News of last Monday was devoted te Chinese news. The Cantonese armies were going ahead as if they were hiking to a picnic. Chang Tso Lim of Manchuria, whe would make an admirable acquisition to the Al Capone bootlegging gang of Cicero, declared that the reason why the Cantonese were winning was not due to superior valor on the part of the Cantonese troops, but to the fact that the opposition would not fight. If the Cantonese feel the same way abont it as we do, the answer to Chang will be “Ishkabibble.” What of it? The fact is that the Cantonese represent the only organized force for hundreds of years in China with a program for the benefit of the Chinese masses, an organization to put life into the program and enough dynamite to take life out of those who opposed it. This is both a lively and a deadly combination. It’ all depends om the angle from which you view the situation. 5 bree!
