Ten years ago! Defeat “Efficiency Unionism” in the United Mine Workers Illinois coal miners have been sent back to work in order that the-Illinois coal barons may take advantage of the busy season from Octoltr to February. In February, after the seasonal slackening has set in, and the mines are once more idle, the question of wages and working conditions will be taken up by the commission provided for in the settlement. be, It is then that the full force of union official-coal operato plan will be seen. Neither the union officials or the coal oper- | ators’ representatives even pretend that the commission will con- sider w and mear the miners. It is admitted by all that the sole question involve is that of cheapening coal production so the Illinois coal barons cei compete with coal mined in the non-union fields of West Vir-'a subject so vexing in its analysis as| are to retain this nebulous equali ginia and Kentucky without any loss of profits. The whole burden is to be placed upon the miners. Tf this policy is followed in other districts, and there is every | raised of the value of college train-| indication that it will be, the union will be split up by separate azreements, as is the case in Illinois already, the working condi- | tions of the Jacksonville agreement will be abrogated and a new| and lower wage scale adopted. The efficiency unionism-worker-employer cooperation policy of the American Federation of Labor officialdom is seen in full) flower in the coal mining industry. “~~ It is a poisonous blossom. Its deadly odor causes a powerful union like the U. M. W. A. to droop and die. : The Lewis machine and the whole leadership of the labor movement is leading a disgraceful retreat before the attack of the bosses. The situation in western Pennsylvania alone is enough to nevertheless do expect when two of Harvard’s eminent sons lock in- tellectual horns in controversial com- at on so important an issue as “Can we absorb the Negro,” that we will be treated to a scientific analysis of the so-called Race Problem. Not, of course, in an attempt to follow it in all of its ramifications, but in a more or less exhaustive examination of its salient features, partecularly pertinent to the subject: the bio- logical aspects, the disturbing ethnic differences, the accepted racial char- |men, and it might be, we would also expect them to seek out the causes | which give rise to what we understand as race prejudice, tracing these causes scientifically to their true soures, which most certainly is not to be found in what Mr. Stoddard so dogmatically calls race differences. We would expect, when Mr. Locke speaks, an introduction to some ac- ceptable reasons why the Negro can be absorbed, and those reasons we) elieve would go to show the possi-| sibilities of the absorption of that group as a whole, not to the accept-| ance of a cultured few—the cultured | elite, we believe our debater with the Harvard-Oxford. and _ continental educational background calls them. But after all, we must not forget that colleges do not make men, but rather, |that men make colleges, and Harvard, ry |—oh well, Lowell has proven that} Harvard is . What Price Colleges?

What is the natural reaction of a sane man upon reading “Can we ab- |sorb the Negro?” as presented by the spokesman for the cultured elite and the pseudo-scientist? Immediately |We conclude that Mr. Locke is a dunce, and Mr. Stoddard a charlatan, and we believe that this is the con- clusion of many others. After the |first flurry of passion is passed, and those | Nowhere does he evidence an. ap- among | preciation “of the desperate position | ing, logical. | tured elite. “Biracial Development” 5 Mr. Stoddard is brutally, yet withal, |visedly) frank.’ In substance, he blusteringly says Negroes and whites differ, as a consequence of which there must ever remain, in America, a system based upon the color line; hin their racial group, let Negro life be as full as it may, there will be no attempt at absorption, (here jwe are tempted to wink slyly at Mr. | Stoddard, and whisper “save at night \eh Lothrop old topper?”) The value of biracial development is his key- ;note, and he plays a sad song with this one strain. Declaring biracialism Ito be separation but nov discrimina- | tion; that it implies neither superior- ity nor inferiority, but recognition of the “difference” existing between |the race groups, he offers it as the | solution of the race problem.

Fagan’s New| Farce at the Biltmore: | Theatre | | One of the old fashioned bedroom farces in new clothes for ‘the year 1927 is now on view at the Biltmore | Theatre. It is titled “Jimmie’s Women,” and was written by Myron C. Fagan. | Altho of no particular significance in relation to the most important plays“of, the season, it is a “good evenin| entertainment” (to quote. the most’ popular phrase of the eve- ning). Concerning itself, as plays category usually do, with a ily and the father’s will which desig-| nates certain conditions relative to! marriage, the play goes alung’at a merry clip. | The story relates how Jimmie’s aunt attempts to make him marry her. daughter so the fortune will stay in the family. Of course, Jimmie loves someone else and the play tells how the aunt and her henpecked husband are routed. | Several attempts are made to shock | the audience. On one occasion one of Jimmie’s women follows him into his| bedroom to spend the night. “To have a good evening’s entertainment,” | is the way she puts it. i The end of the play is weak, the} plot crumbling up in the last act. In fact, a fairly good play is shot to hell to give it a respectable ending. In Spite of that, there are some funny lines sprinkled throughout which! keep a smile on your face, |tributable to the amazingly glaring |ignorance of both of any sound eco- nomic principles. Every premise re- point contains grave fallacies. Mr. | | Stoddard utters one deep and abiding | truth however, when he says, “Every |cultured Negro should ask himself one searching question: What does he really want?” This might well be broadened to include every Negro. | The Negro should analyze his present | position in the illuminating light of Marxist-Leninist analysis. before he answers. The average white worker in Amer- ica hates the Negro worker as a rival, who constantly threatens his | standard of living. He looks upon the Negro worker through the ideological glasses of the dominant class of society, and sees. him as_ being | fit only to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, and he thereby makes himself a tool of that class and incidentally strengthens the hold of that class on his economic life. He hugs close to his breast religious, so- cial and racial prejudices. When an orgy of rioting and lynching is in- dulged in the South you find the | White worker a ready participant. |The Negro is excluded from labor junions at the behest of the present | bureaucracy of labor. This is one of the vital sources of weakness of the labor movement today, of which fact the dominant class well aware. | The vicious manner in which the jantagonisms between white and black j workers in America are fostered, | nurtured, and kept alive through the | press, the pulpit. the stage, through every medium of propaganda avail- jable to the ruling class testifies to their ea ah the value of Minna Gombel gives a superb per-| race prejudice to them.
