Steve Gaugh (I. L. D. member and sympathizer) and Tay- lor Gaugh, his brother, in which the latter attempted to justify recent remarks made in the Kansas City Star by Mrs. Grammer McDonald about the Soviet Union and to ex- cuse and clarify the United States government in the starvation scheme of 13,000,000 workers, bank failures, stock market crashes, oppression and police horrors, etc. it ended with the brother Taylor's remarks, “I'll not come up here again, and I want nothing more to do with you.” Unable to win any point whatso- ever against the International Labor Defense and his own brother, he took the reguler “out” of all the cap- italist minded, and that is to get “sore and seyer all relations and latter declare war, no doubt,” even on his own brother. Capitalists will stop at nothing to further their own ends of profit-making, and the sooner all workers can decide as Comrade Gaugh has done in the! quotations taken from his letter quoted below the sooner will they be better off, I quote, in part, Comrade Gaugh’s letter to his brother: “Tt is further understood that our political views, as well as social, are directly opposite and each adheres to his own opinions and ideas; just as it is impossible to have any com- Promise between capital and labor, so is it impossible for us to have anything in common with one in the trenches of capitalism. So know; you and all men that we are in this way divided by class distinction. Hast is Fast and the West is West. and never the two shall twine, they 8. P. G. «oe * Editorial Noie—We publish this letter in order to point out a mis- take wade by many sincere com- tades in the task of drawing new workers into the ranks of the revo- iutlonary movement, Gaugh's brother, we understand, is a worker, His mind obviously has been filled to the bilm with caplialist poison which is not al- ‘ways casy to dispell. We must re- member that we cannot expect to win workers by indulging in bitte: arguments with them. When we sperk te a worker who does not understand the class basis of so- ciety, we must not approach him im & rupelior and antagonistic manner, bat rather in the manner of ® feliow-worker searching for and finding some common ground upon which both can agree. Afier this common ground is dis- covered then we can move on step by step educating, propagandizing and agitating the worker in a com- radely and friendly manner. We cannet expect workers whose minds are filled with capitalist poison to bemade clags-conscious Bolsheviki in 8 moment. Sometimes it takes quite = while to wipe the cobwebs from & worker's mind. Let us, then, fight the bosses, their lack- eys, the leaders of the socialist perty and the A. F. of L. We must not fight workers, We must win the workers. “The Inbor movement will gain the upper hand and show the way to Peace and socialism.” LENIN, 28 EAST MTH STREET NEW YORK Yel.

The Strike Committee of the Coney Island bread strike urges all unem- plored and others, who can spare time, to report to headquarters early this morning for various assignments. The cases of the eleven recently arrested pickets came up for trial in the Magistrate's Court, Thursday, Dec. 31. Strikers are making good progress and are nearer success today than any other time. The Committee urges to keep up intensive picketing; not to be scared by an arrest here and there, as victory seems to be in sight. A.C.W. AIDS CUT IN VESTMAKERS’ PAY Is Prelude to Cut of Entire Shop Working in close conjunction with the manager of the William P. Gold- man clothing shop, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers officials effected a 15 per cent wage cut for the vest- makers as a prelude to a general cut in the entire shop. The immediate pretext for putting over the cut was an arbitrary order given by Monatt, manager of the vestmakers local of the A.C.W. for the workers to accept a 15 per cent reduction on a “special” lot of vests that came through this week. The wage reduction was put through without even the formality of a shop or local meeting, and the workers indignant and resenting it. were not permitted to voice their op- Position. Bosses Demand More Cuts Rosenberg, manager of the shop, bad previously demanded a flat twen- iy per cent wage reduction for the en- | tire shop, and workers see in the A.C.W. move an opening wedge to comply with this, Workers in the model shop had their wages levelled down to that of production work. The insistence and demands of the yestmakers and workers in other de- partments for a shop meeting to dis- cuss the wage cutting campaign and prepare to resist it was curtly re- jected and stifled by the Amalgamat- ed officials. The Amalgamated Rank and File Committee yesterday called on the Goldman shop workers to prepare to resist a general wage cutting maneu- ver and to join the rank and file movement.

(Author of Labor and Coal) That the coal operators are totally indifferent to the problems of the mine workers and ready to increase unemployment and cut wages still lower in order to raise their profits, stood out with special clearness in the discussions at the Third Interna- tional Conference on Bituminous Coal, held in Pittsburgh last month. In the 56 plans presented for “say- ing” the coal industry, outstanding aims were limitation of production, control of prices, and increased con- solidation of coal companies. But the desire for competition—freedom from strong interests to destroy weaker interests—was in sharp con- flict with eny polite agreement on production and prices. Collective bargaining and arbitra- tion to prevent strikes were the only recommendations on labor relations. Most of the operators’ plans include no reference to the workers, except that they would involve more unem- ployment, more speed-up, and more wage cuts. No Decision Reached. Instead of coming to a decision, the conference gave the following possible points for consideration by operators and the governors of coal states: 1. A commission appointed by governors to consider solutions. 2. Regulation of the industry to favor low cost operators. 3. Discontinuance of the sale of coal below cost. 4. Ap- pointment of a dictator to run the industry. 5. Some kind of federal board to fix production and prices. Mellon, Morgan and Reckefelier interests dominated the advisory board which endorsed this confer- ence, Another group, the National Coal ; Association, in which many of the | larger coal producers are not repre- sented, endorsed early in December |@ plan for organizing twenty soft coal districts, in each of which the NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES EAST SIDE—BRONX RKO cia 5rd fi, —RKO Acts— __ George Givot | Entire Week | Today to Tuesday “Frankenstein” The Man Who FORKUN | Made a Monster “Dumbsters” And Others Prospects rege.
