Back of the Wuhan government stands the overwhelming majority of the trade unions, the peasant organizations and the armies. : Chiang Kai-shek is almost completely isolated and must enter into an alliance with the Wuhan government, in which he will be a subordinate figure, or become a minor lackey of the northern militarists and Japan. A number of recent developments substantiate these conclu- sions. They are: First, the agreement reached by General Feng Ysiang and all the leaders of the Wuhan government and the Kuomintang. -A complete economic, political and military program was worked out and preparations made for an extension of the victorious i) drive on Peking. Second, General Feng has been sent to Soochow to arrange a military alliance with Chiang Kai-shek. The dispatch of Feng ig an indication that Chiang has little to do but accept the terms of the Kuomintang since Feng now holds the post of commander. in-chief of the Kuomintang armies formerly held by Chiang. Third, the opening of the convention of the Ail China Fed- eration of Labor in Hankow, the delegates representing between three and four million workers, is of fundamental importance as showing the stability of the Wuhan government, the powerful base it has in the working class and the tremendous growth of the labor movement which at its last conference included only ‘some one million, two hundred thousand workers, Fourth, the great strikes and demonstrations in Canton in ‘isnt ee get their share of the profits derived from discounting stock cies, enriching themselves by speciilative plunging in the most approved capitalistic style. But the crash in Florida where they had invested heavily in real estate (the best of all, securities, according to Peter J. Brady, Sydney Hillman and other apostles of Jabor banking) brought the labor bankers face to face with a situation where they would have to confess failure and get kicked out of office by the membership, or persuade some more power- ful capitalist concern to come to their rescue. Their saviors proved to be the notorious scab-herding, strike-breaking Mitten gang of Philadelphia, which for years has conducted a training school for scabs to be supplied to all traction lines desiring to break the street carmen’s union, Just what shady transactions took place between the Mittens and the Brotherhood officials may never be known. The Phila- delphia traction barons are interested in the Brotherhood ven- tures principally because of the mine holdings in West Virginia. They can use the scab Coal River Colliers Company to furnish coal for their scabby traction lines and, of course, continue the banking business along the old lines. This crash should be sufficient to silence, for a time at least, the contemptible scoundrels and traitors to labor who are in- ducing the workers to have confidence in such institutions as labor banks, all of which are at the absolute merey of the Wall Street bandits and can be crushed as a gorilla crushes an egg- shell the moment they desire to do so. It is to be hoped that the convention in Cleveland, after get- ting rid of the banking business, turns upon the fakirs and drives them from the labor movement into the ranks of the avowed lackeys of capitalism where they will in future get their pay J.
