' George Cameron, erf the Wil mington Union Labor Record, vents, his spleen about ,Ehf^er3ld in the following manr.e^'»in re printing the tirade frj leigh union paper: ^ From Wilmington Labor Union _ - Record. Jim’s wail will not scare many of the sons of toil into supporting the old reactionaries, brother. Jim shifts front most too much to cause the rank and file to take him : “seriously.” Four years ago he was campaigning the state de nouncing O. Max Gardner, the farmer-politician, who was then a candidate for governor in athree ■: cornered fight with Hob Page and Cam. Morrison, and only a few weeks ago he was lauding the Hon. u O. Max as the stand-pat chairman of the North Carolina delegation to the Democratic convention at . New York. No, sir,- ree! Jim won’t scare ’em in his wail about i .how “the campaign will vanish i class consciousness and enthrone - cold feasorting,” for, if it is pos~ : sibie dot that power which .. names ; candidates to go any. further to il Ward paralyzing the working and | living conditions in America in ; the coming four than it has in its “American Plan”- onslought . since the first Armistice Day, ’twill be better, in such event, that the workers are organized po litically to command representa . tion in our legislative bodies to meet the issues where a remedy is - possible, and not continue to stag . ger about from one poltical dema gogue to another hollering for leg islative relief. *,th% % : 1 J 'N i The workers of the South, even, where Organized Labor has been thwarted through the manipulation of negro and illiterate labor by the sons of old slave-drivers, can not be stampeded any more, as they have been in the past, by the wail of'' the fast-dying “aristp cratic,” so-called Democratic ma chine party of Old Dixie, through the medium of a labor paj$£rr. Think of it, ye men of toil, Jim JBarrett, the labor editor with a chip on his soulder—^-alyaays—one time rock-ribbed Republican, then, upon tHe. urgent request of a Ra Ijeigh labor caucus, “Star cam paigner” in the Democratic cam paign of 1920 for Cam. Morri son” and finally evolved into a real Dimmy-krat when the last Demo cratic primary for governor was on (as declared in the columns of his paper at that time), emitting such-a wail as the above anent the possibilities if ^Robert M.

The greatest'^Ipuble with organ izing the worker now is, there are too jj^By of them afraid Jiev^uHMgBi^K starve to death. _JFGillette, a tested friend of the American masses, should be elect ed president in November. You holler “Wolf, wolf!” Jim, I(ke the boy in the story, when , .there can he no wolf fiercer than those we have already encountered and vanquished. Whether Robert M. La Follette , is elected or not, we will wager that the new Congress will feel the effect of his independent ac tion in' co-operation with millions of organized farmers and workers of America, and, with sufficient representation in Congress of the Independents, the workers and ■farmers wii have to throw aside their “class consciousness” and ...**** Z ~ '. a -1 - •••• ‘ •’9 And wftcr eref heard of a real red blooded American starving io ENGLAND.
