Continuation of Injunctions. The victory of Tammany Hall in , New York state means the continua- |tion of injunctions, suppression of workers, denial of the rights of work- ers to strike and picket and similar | Suppressive tactics on the part of the democratic henchmen. The results of the vote also show that, despite @ big protest and opposi- tion sentiment, the socialist party— which has been the chief opposition , party—tfailed substantially to secure this protest vote and strengthen its Dosition. . Socialists Ald Tammany. The socialist party, by failing to establish a united front of labor polit- feal parties on the political fleld, has aided Tammany Hall and helped to keep the workers tied to capitalist ‘politics. Labor cannot advance in the direction of working class tactics as long as the illusion of “rewarding friends and punishing enemies” re- mains. The socialist party, by failing to ald in uniting all those opposed to eapitalist politics, has contributed to the maintaining of the Smith illusion. Need For Labor Party. The results of the election indicate again the necessity for labor to estab- lish a@ political party of its own, in- dependent of the capitalist parties and, by forging @ labor party, to attack the strongholds of the two-party system in which capitalism maintains absolute domination while nominally transfer ring power from one of its parties to the other. In the coming two years labor will recetva ample proof, by the suppres- sive action of Tammany Hall, of the need of breaking with the capitalist parties and establishing a party of la- bor.. The. Workers Party will con- tinue its agitation for unity of labor on the political fleld in a labor party.

TT\HE present British crisis can be justifiably termed a cc‘tinuation and a form of climax to the unbroken chain of political and industrial un- vest since 1911. But it is in the higher and more intense stages of this crisis, 1921-26, that the plan of rebuilding her economy on the backs of her work- ers was formulated and the attempt made to carry it out. Regular war Preparations were made against the working class, While the bourgeoisie was somewhat uncertain as to what the reaction of the working class would be when the miners were at- tacked, it played safe—it prepared its forces, Directly under the control of its outstanding militarists, it created a volunteer organization for the main- tenance of supplies. This organiza- tion embraced some 85,000 persons. Two hundred thousand vehicles were registered and subsidized by the gov- LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5. — Aimee }@T™ment for instant use against the /be eas workers, The cabinet was militarized and its members assigned on a war status. . The cabinet forces were full equipped, and were held in réadiness in their barracks so as to enable them to take the field against the workers on short notice, With all these pre- parations the British bourgeoisie and its government were ready to attack the workers, to destroy their trade unions, and upon the backs of a beaten and demoralized working class, Brit- ain was again to take her “rightful” place in the sun apd play second fiddle to no power, ‘ It is not.an accident that the miners CURRENT EVENTS By T.

The courts have been trying to take it away from him for several years, but it is as hard to get a dollar out of Len’s claws as it is to find life on Mars. In this much, how- ever, we agree with Small, “If large corporation contributions were barred, there would be many persons holding public office who would be barred.” Righto! eee OWELL B. MASON, a dry state senator from these parts is on trial for accepting bribes to facili- tate the granting of permits for the sale of sacramental wine. The sena- tor does not deny that he received the money, but he claims that the $23,000 that went into his bank account in- side of a few months came his way legally for services rendered. We are not indignant because a capitalist poll- tician accepted graft. That is quite natural and normal. But why a dry senator should help in the distribu- tion of wine, and how he could be re- elected with the aid of the Anti-Saloon League, while his trial is taking place, ig a little shock even to us. eee YSTERIA born of fear seenis to have taken hold of the Italian fascist party. Leaders of that organi- zation are-now howling for the estab- lishment of a “committee of public ‘safety” in imitation of the dreaded tribunal of the French revolution. The fascists are indeed good imita- tors, if good for nothing else except murder. All the opposition newspa- pers in Italy are now silenced, They include socialist, liberal, catholic and syndicalist organs. The Communist press exists illegally, yet has a wide distribution, eee , OURTEEN daily newspapers lost their licenses since the latest at- tempt on the dictator's life, and many magazines.
