Our party is the only party'that in the election campaign of 1926 has the courage to fight | for the workers’ and farmers’ interests against all the forces of capitalism and Its allies. Governor Smith will be the candidate for reelection of the democratic party. Tammany Hall is intent upon using another sweeping victory for Smith to foist -his nomination for president of the United States upon the democratic party. OVERNOR SMITH can no longer keep alive the iliusion that he is al friend of Jabor. His action in the cloakmakers’ strike Is sufficient to | ; show where Smith stands on the question of labor. It was Governor Smith's | commission that rendered a decision in favor of the bosses in the cloak In- | dustry. It was Governor Smith himself who took the side of the manufacturers and threatened to use his power as governor of the state of New York to torce the striking cloakmakers against their will to accept arbitration. | N order to force compulsory arbitration upon the workers as advocated by Smith, Supreme Court Justice Guy has issued a sweeping Injunction against the cloakmakers, Governor Smith, now very anxfous to win the approval of the Industrial capitalist, openly and brazenly pursues his strike-breaking activities. Coo- lidge rose to power by smashing the strike of the policemen in Boston. Smith hopes to get where Coolidge Is now, by breaking, thru compulsory arbitration, the strike of the 40,000 cloakmakers in New York City.

Big Business in Control, HE record of New York state has been a consistent record of sub- serviency to big business—the open use of the courts, police and the en- tire machinery of government in the interest of big business and against the workers, Both parties, republican and democratic alike, have served as a single party of big business. In the recent strike in New, York City against the traction interests the pe- leo and entire machinery of govern- ment was used to beat down the he- role struggle for freedom from the slavory of company unionism and ab- solute company domination, In the turriers’ and garment workers’ strikes thousands of workers have been ar- rested and subjpcted to heavy fines and even prison sentences for the nere crime of picketing and using heir economic pgwer to win thelr Just demands for better working condl- ions, Innumerable examples can be sited of the open use of the state and ocal government in New York state 1s trike-breaking agencies. New York, the leading state of the nafion, headed by a democratic governor, has followed in the footsteps of the na- tional administration, headed by the republican president, Coolidge. Greater Oppression of the Workers. HE Coolidge administration, backed by the united vote of the republi- can and democratic servaiits of big business, has turned hundreds of mil- lions of dollars back to the multimil- lionaires and big corporations thru tax revisions without reducing by a penny the taxes which workers and farmers must pay thru higher prices. The high protective tariff has been maintained and all pretense of fight- ing the trusts has been dropped; the elementary needs of the farmers have been flouted openly, even such inad- equate measures as the 'augen-Mc- Nary bill being defeated by the com- bined votes of the majority of both parties; the Watson-Parker bill, which practically abolishes the right of the railroad workers to strike for better wages and wofking conditions, was aseed by congress, and/only the over- Speakers, D.
