LaFollette is very timely. Charged with LaFollettism. Even twenty years ago Berger had his eye on the LaFollette bandwagon. sis of his record in Wisconsin and in Congress, It is this record that the socialist bureaucracy has. forced its membership to indorse. Let us call upon the Social Democratic Herald of July 1, 1905 to tell us what the social- ists once thought of the LaFolletta regime in the Wisconsin Common- wealth. We read: “The LaFollette legislature has had In, 1905 he was charged, on this score,| the worst record of killing labor bills with having an understanding with capitalist parties, neck and face, It was only his control of the Wisconsin party ma- chine that saved Berger's politica) of any of its predecessors.” Victor Berger further declared in the Milwaukee Free Press of Septem- ber 13, 1906: “LaFollette is trying to do the same thing in the republican THE DAILY WORKER cannot be satisfactory to determined and enlightened working men and women, A class party of the workers is needed.” (Page 74.) It is on this record that LaFollette has won over the Socialist Party lead- ership. LaFollette has not dropped his vigorous opposition to a class party of the workers, The Wisconsin senator is as vociferous as ever in his denunciation of any and all who dare call his program radical. At the Cleveland Conference it was LaFol- lette’s influence that prevented the ment to prevent competition or to con- trol prices, shall, in an action inst, tuted by the attorney general of the state, have its charter revoked. ” But Hoan has changed his mind, tho LaFollette has not. Today, Hoan is asking the workingmen to vote for this program of LaFollette. Spurned’ Progressivism.

It is going to force long hours upon German workers, restora- tion of 12-hour shifts seven days /@ week in the German steel in- ‘dustry, and competition which will undermine the standards attained by workers in other countries. “A necessary result of the experts’ report,” say the Rhenish Westphalian iron and steel manufaturers in sup- port of their refusal to restore the 3-shift system “will be the maintenance of extended hours of work. It is cer- tainly one of the government’s chief duties to explain the situation as it is Interesting information on th strong opposition of the general so- cialist membership to these Berger “understandings” is afforded by the following report of the Social Demo- cratic Herald of June 10,1905: “The State Executive Board also points to the fact that the National Committee has not awaited the inves- tigation of the State Executive Board of Wisconsin but has already removed Comrade Berger from the National Committee. “The finding of the State Executive Board of Wisconsin (a Berger commit- tee) is as follows: “That no collusion or understanding of any sort whatever exists, or at any time existed, between the Social Democratic Party of Milwaukee or Comrade Berger and any capitalistic party, candidate or candidates.” The removal of Berger by the Na- ® party that Altgeld tried in the demo- cratic, and he will have less success, because the democratic party had no principles except to. get graft, while the republican party has well-definied principles for capitalism and is proud of them.” As late as April 6, 1923 the’ Milwau- kee Leader took occasion to attack the LaFollette machine because it saved the private detective agencies of Wisconsin. In its comment on the failure of the state senate to inter- fere with the private detective agen- cies breaking strikes, Berger’s mouth- piece said: “Senator Howard Teasdale, one of the LaFollette senators who ‘swung over to the lobby for private detective agencies, opposed the bill (to regu- late) because it would make it diffi- cult for reformers to smell out vice.” LaFollette-Class Enemy. and not to leave the people under the filusion that it will be possible to bear the burdens imposed upon Ger- many by the experts’ report without an increase of individual as well as collective production. The demand of the Metal Workers’ federation for the introduction of a 3-shift system in the large scale iron industry means noth- ing less than the abandonment of all hope of that increase in production which is absolutely necessary to Ger- many’s fiiture.” Get Entering Wedge. The German iron and steel mag- nates secured the entering wedge for a return to the long shift by a provi- sional agreement in Dec. 1923 which provided 59 hours per week for work- ers in basic production and 57% hours for workers in the secondary indus- tional Committee was then submitted to a referendum, the Crestline Refer- endum. 4,215 voted for the expulsion Especially significant is the follow- ing comment on the .

Saturday to 6 a. m. Sunday when changing shifts. The unions refused to continue this agreement, the matter went to arbi- tration and was decided against them. When labor ‘refused to accept the award it was made compulsory by the minister of labor. The unions then went along under protest. Affects All Industries. Similar charges in hours have been ‘going on in all industries, altho the results have not always been as bad as in the iron and steel plants. But the general situation is indicated by a census of hours worked in various industries taken in the middle week of May by the Deutsche Gewerk- schaftsbund. The census included 2,453,523 workers in 46,122 concerns and showed the per cent of workers working 48 hours and the per cent working ovef 48 hours, as follows: 48 hrs. 48-51 51-54 Over 64 or less hours hours hours Pct.

The agreements which made possible this extension of hours generally re- ‘tained the 48-hour week in principle but permitted the employer to compel overtime without extra pay. Limit- ing provisions in the agreements are frequently overridden by the em- ployers. Employers in other European coun- tries which feel the competition of -Germany are using this extension of jhours as an argument against the ratification of the league of nations’ 8-hour convention, 5 WORKERS’ STRAW VOTE THE DAILY WORKER, 1113 W.

Na- tional secretary Mailly then charged that Wisconsin was not entitled to cast that many votes, as it was much behind in dues, and that this alone saved Berger from being thrown out by the membership for his having been in collusion with capitalist par- ties and politicians.

LaFollette opposed any ‘radical’ platform. He wanted a ‘lib- eral’ platform that would not offend many conservative voters, one that would not suggest a ‘class party.’ “If LaFollette and his views can be satisfactory to Christensen, the latter Czecho-Slovaks Are Raising Funds to Start Party Paper A very lively meeting of Czecho- Slovak branches held Friday, August 29, at Novak’s Hall, raised $545.00 to establish a Czecho-Slovak Communist paper in Chicago. and also further de- cided that every member of the fed- eration should be asked to loan $10.00 for the financing of the paper. This is the effective and spirited answer of the Communists to the splitters and fakers of the Spravedl- nost outfit who were recently expell- ed from the Workers Party. Fifty-five members were present at the meet- ing and discussion on the publication of weekly paper, took up most of the time. The Federation Bureau was empha- tic that the paper be published in or- der to fight the gang which controls the Spravedinost and to carry the message of Communism to the work- ers, Discussion was animated. Near- ly all the members took part with the result that the proposition of the Federation Bureau for the establish- ment of a paper and means of raising the funds was unanimously carried. Federation Bureau is taking steps to inform the other branches thruout the country to follow the lead of Chicago Czecho-Slovak members in raising funds. Local Chicago Workers Par- ty donated $25.00 to the present fund. The Czecho-Slovak comrades also realize that to maintain a real Com- munist organization the comrades must be organized on the.shop nuclei to put over the industrial registration of the party.
