LABOUR IN AMERICA
DECLARATION AGAINST BOLSHEVISM. PARDON BOR LARKIN. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, January 17. (Received Jan. 18, at 11.15 p.m.) The United Mine Workers of America have announced a policy condemning the Moscow Internationale and its attempt to destroy the American legitimate Labour movement and to substitute therefore the principles of Bolshevism. Impatient resentment against social wrongs may prompt wild attempts at the abolition of capitalism, but it remains for the trade union movement to continue its own work. An Albany telegram savs that Governor Smith has pardoned Jim Larkin, who was convicted in 1920 on a charge of criminal anarchy, having advocated the dictatorship of the proletariat. The Governor sajd the pardon was not because he subscribed to these views, but because they did not constitute or advocate anarchy, but merely a new and radically different form of organised government.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
