Does all this mean that the mem- |bership of the United Mine Woske: ot America has become hopeless!y re-| onary? Quite the contrary. ‘These measures have been taken| by an officialdom which has had con-! creve proof of the fact, in two na- tional elections, that the membership is cpposed to its policies.

The UMWA will disappear in- sofar as it will serve as a weapon of the coal miners of this eontinent. This does not mean that the coal barons, backed up by the govern- ment,: will destroy the union at once. ly does not even mean that with the piration of the coutracteon April there will be the open attack on « union that has been launched in! est Virginia, Western Pennsyl-| j tania, etc, | But it does mean, and the machine program which reached its full frui- ‘tien at the thirtieth convention points with deadly accuracy to the only oth- er possible conclusion, that under the} | Lewis leadership the UMWA has dis- eayded the glorious traditions of the, | past and now appeals to the lords of cowl as an crganization with which they can deal, thru 100 per cent) | Americans, with full assurance that it will not interfere with their prof- its.

That’s the substance of a diplo- matic statement made to the Ameri- can press by Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chi- nese minister in Washington, after he had studied the Kellogg statement of sympathy toward China, and af- ter Sze had read a resolution adopted by @ mass meeting of Chinese in New York. This resolution was the voice of the revolution, spoken by men who have been aiding the Can-, ton government by their weekly con-| tributions from all around the world. It Belongs to Them. { What business is it of Kellogg, says Sze in effect, to talk of granting| things to the Chinese in their own! country. The Chinese are taking; back what belongs to them. They; ask permission from nobody. The! time has come when foreign govern: ments, if they want the thing done} politely, must stop sending navies; and armies to China and must send} notice tfat they have absolutely sur-, rendered their claims of special pri lege, extra-territorial rights and con-} cessions there. Sze is in a position which the Washington administration tolerates’ only because it fears that any change} would be worse. He is minister from a government at Peking that died a} year ago, and he speaks for the Can-) ton government of the revolution which Coolidge and Kellogg regard as too working-class ini its program to be recognized. i ‘Tired of Pious Wishes. ‘| “T ean convey any message to Han- kow or’ Peking that the American} government is ready to send,” says} Sze, “but we are tired of pious wish-! es. We want foreign governments to name their delegates to conferences | for negotiation of new treaties that! will be based on recognition of equal-} ity of rights and treatment between Chinese and foreigners. We will ne-! gotiate with each power separately, not cdilectively. And we do not want, to waste, time, repeating old and -fu-| tile talk. That is why we ask that) the foreign powers each name their, delegates; China is as much inter-| ested to know the composition of! |tally necessary to protect lives and|thesc foreign delegations as they! seem to be anxious to know ours.” Aroused by the warning issued by! the Chinese in New York, due to the! landing of the first British reinforce- ment troops at Shanghai, Sze ‘de-; clated that the sending of “fleets,| troops and marines in numbers great-| ly exceeding the needs for purely pro-) tective purposes” is “provocative and) dangerous.” If foreign powers treat China on a friendly basis, he added, | their people in China will be protect-| ed to the utmost power of the auth-| critics, But the foreign powers must) avoid even an unintentional act of provocation to the Chinese people! just now. China Holds Whip Hand. H Washington officialdom had not expected these rough words from the} genial and wealthy Dr. Sze. It has walled out the Soviet revolution, but with China covered; with American missionary enterprises—none of them at Chinese invitation—the situation! as to a blockade of Chinese radical- ism is different. China’s millions of workers hold the whip hand, thru their nationalist government, because the powers, and especially America cannot simply walk away and de nounce them as enemies of civiliza- tion.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan, 31-~ Palmer Davis, executive secretary of | Yale-in-China, today wired the state lepartment at Washington aski t immediate steps be taken to ef- ‘fect the release of Dickson H, Leavens, treasurer of Yale-in-China, who is reported as ha been im- prisoned in Shanghai, ¥ i liminary rehearsal. HERE are former radicals and renegade socialists who find an | excuse for their desertion of the class struggle in the declaration that the “dividing lines of the so- cial conflict are being swept away.” This quotation is part of the heading of Evans Clark’s review of this tendency in the New York | Times, Clark helps the cause of vetrogression along a little him- self, thru- injecting his own ideas | in this direction, and then tells what he finds inside of books writ- | ten by the liberal, Jétt Lauck, the | ex-socialist, William English Wal- ling, as well as a symposium edited by the socialists, Hatry W. Laid- | ler and Norman Thomas, under the | title of “New Tactiés in the So- | cial Conflict.” * see Clark’s statement of the smug | comfort with which “the new liber- alism” seeks to surround itself finds voice in these two sentences: “In the pre-war days the radical and labor groups were massed on the one side in a frontal attack on ‘capital’... j “Except for a little band of Com- munists, who now keep up a ragged | show of opposition on the left, the | battle lines have been obscured, if | not lost altogether, in this general | breaking of ranks,” . | Anyone at all familiar with facts, | and not wishing to distort them, | can easily take issue with both of | these statements. The class strug- | gle lines are clearer than ever to- | day. Capital is faced with a more | | ' determined “frontal attack” by la- bor today than at any time in all its history in this country. | One of the big differences is that | in the pre-war days, words were | sufficient, especially lots of them, | while today deeds are demanded in | the class struggle. a aaa It ig only necessary, for instance, | to consider the present convention of the United Mine Workers of America at Indianapolis. ‘Lhe class lines have, never been drawn more clearly in any gathering of Ameri- can labor, In the pre-war days even Tom L. Lewis, international | president, who sold out to the West Virginia coal barons, could parade as a “radical,” because it was merely a matter of words to pass-a resolu- tion denouncing the National Civic Federation. Lewis bore a bitter en- mity toward John Mitchell, one of the chief supporters, along with Sanr Gompers, of this class biurring . organization, and so he raised the issue himself in the miners’ con- vention, not waiting for the pre- war socialists to do it. In those days bitter industrial war was car- ried on,.to be sure, in every section of the land, in the coal mines of Colorado; in the copper mines of Michigan; in the steel mills of the Pittsburgh district. But these struggles were; for hours, wages and conditions, in which the “spec- tre of Communism” was ~ never seen, because the Russian Bolshe- vik revolution had not yet taken place. But “Passaic” ranks well with “Ludlow,” with “Calumet,” with “Cabin Creek” and “Home- stéad,” with the additional asset | that in the New Jersey textile cen- ter the strikers also stood firm un- | der the repeated attack, instigated by the employers, that workers were ‘bent on wrecking the capital- ist government and seizing power, and the “Passaic” was but a pre- To be sure; “Passaic” typifies the struggle for | wages and hours ‘today, but it also typifies the feayof the great .em- | ployer of his own extermination at | the hands of the workers on some | tomorrow. | * * * } Socialist delegates, in the pre- | war days, in the miners’ conven- | tions, were listened to good-na- turedly, whether it was Duncan MacDonald, Adolph Germer, Alex Howat, Jim Lord or Frank J.

Miners’ conventions then were comparatively peaceful affairs, No one can be blind to the con- ditions éxisting today, MacDonaid has been expetled from the miners’ union in Ulinois because he fought officialdom, both the’ state machine recently headed by Frank Farrington and the international vegime of John L. Lewis, who ar- rogantly announces that Alex Howat is “no longer a member of the union.” But the vicious capi- talist attack, developed within the union, by Lewis and his lieutenants against the real spokesmen of ia- bor, is also directed against those who raise even an opposition pro- gram, like John Brophy, William Stevenson and Wiiliam Brennan, Let the renegade liberals and social- ists, who now write for the New York Times, try to point out in this employers’ sheet, if they can, where the blur is to be found in Indianapolis today. Incidentally, they might take off the smoked glasses they wear to shut out tho glare of the class struggle, as it rages today even within the labor unions themselves. * aes, Capitalism knows that the class lines are clearer, It fears the mili- tant program of the opposition in the miners’ union. it buys off the Farringtons with soft, high-priced jobs. It coddles those ambitious like John Lewis, with promises of high political places, like secretary | of labor, or even the vice-presi- dency of the nation. This only | shows that the labor lackeys of capitalism, like Lewis and iarring- ton, stand more clearly revealed than ever on the side of the ex- ploiters. This does not blur, it clarifies the class struggle. In the eyes of the labor lieutenants of capitalism, it is a worse crime to- day to champion the cause of the Labor Party in the trade unions, in this post war period, than it was to utge the cause of the Socialist varty in the trade unions before the war. This is true today—the Labor Party signifies a concrete effort to build a class party of la- bor, In the pre-war days multi- tudes joined the sociatist party who not only were passive in the class struggle, but actualiy denied. like | Charles Edward Russell, who near- iy became the party’s candidate for president in 1916, that there are classes struggling against, each other within capitalist society, * * “Company unions” do not blur the class issue. Look at Passaic, best example of how the employers merely invoke this subterfuge to | head off real unionism. Of course, if writers like Olark, Lauck, Laid- Jer, Thomas and the rest want to put on blinders and merely look at | the class collaboration apparent. in every union-management co-opera- | tion scheme, without taking into consideration the developing class resentment of workers against such nefarious schemes, thén it is easy to discover a blur in the class re- lationship. Yet such are merely gazing at the capitalist class, in- cluding its lackeys, whether Green, Woll, Walling, Hillman or Sigman, “@nd all they see is the capitalist class, of whieh they are theniselves Sart. They close their eyes en- tirely to the presence of class con- cious elements among the workers inspiring the rest to greater ef- | forts, thus coming to the false ccrf- _¢husion that there is no class streg- gle. But the class struggle cannot be winked at, or shut out of existence with the closing of an eye, even by socialists, either in or out of the unions, very trade union convention, every labor struggle proves that, The fact that social- ists and liberals have joined the capitalists in their struggle against the left wing and the Communists indicates that the class struggle is hozoming clearer, not that it is blurred, } / Workers in China (Continued from Page 1) killed while employed, shall be paid.
