LABOR DAY IS THE HOLIDAY OF | BUREAUCRACY, STATES BEN GOLD Urges Workers to Support Left Wing in Fight | to Build Trade Union Movement | “It is regrettable that the bulk of the American working class celebrates the first Monday in September as its holiday in-| stead of May Ist, which is the workers’ holiday, born in the struggles of the pioneers of organized labor in America and which | is celebrated by labor thruout the world,” says Ben Gold, manager | of the New York Joint Board of the Furriers’ Union, in a state- ment issued today. ¢ “At this time the employing class in the interests of its materialist pol- iey is conducting a most vicious strug- gle against organized labor. In the face of this struggle the bureaucratic leadership of the American labor movement instead of meeting the at- tack of American imperialism with militant and aggressive efforts has adopted the policy of class cétabora- tion and thus’ serves the interests of | the employing class as their agents and tools. “This year on Labor Day, organ- ized labor in America finds itself heading down the road toward de- moralization due to the treacherous policies of the labor bureaucracy. This is best indicated by the betrayal of labor by the bureaucrats in the miners’ struggle and in the struggles of the needle trade workers. “The only hope of the American workers is to follow the fighting pro- gram and the militant leadership of the left wing in the trade unions. This is their only pope in building unions that will serve as the real in- struments for the betterment of their conditions and lead to the organiza- tion, of working class power on both the economic and political fields. “Only with such organizations, will the American worker become a factor in the world wide movement for the final liberation of all workers from the yoke of capitalism.” * * ® Iron Workers’ Statement. A. Rosenfeld, secretary of the Iron and Bronze Workers’ Union has is- sued the following Labor Day state- ment: ‘ “During the last year the workers of America have witnessed many manifestations of the capitalist class to intimidate the workers in this country. The brutal murder of Sacco and Vanzetti is of course, the most outstanding. More than that, it is a typical example of to what extent the capitalist controlled United States will go in their campaign against the workers. ...,""While according to all respectable labor leaders, Labor Day is supposed to be a day for the American working class, it is not so. It is a time se- lected by the bosses of America for celebration by their workers. The «purpose is to counteract the real day of the workers—May Ist. , “The American working class must go on with their struggles to improve their conditions of labor, and raise wages. At the same time that it is building up a militant trade union movement, the workers must work for a labor party, for a real nation-wide working class struggle.” Lock Out Brooklyn Movie Operators. Moving ‘picture operators in six Brooklyn houses were locked out yes- terday, it was learned, in an effort to slash wages. The houses are the Apollo, Tomp- kins and Fulton Avenues: Fulton Auditorium, Fulton and Nostrand Avenues Classic Theatre, Tompkins Avenue and Pulaski Street; Empress Theatre, Dekalb near Sumner Ave- nue; Parkway, 20th Avenue near 64th Street, and the Mapleton, 66th Street and 18th Avenue. The locked out operators are mem- bers of Local 304, of the Kings and Queens Moving Picture Machine Op- eratos’ Union. he musicians who are union mem- bers are still on their jobs. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—Gene Tunney was given an ovation today when he arrived in Chicago to finish training for his September 22nd fight with Jack Dempsey. The heavyweight champion was greeted by several thousand enthusiastic fans when his special train rolled into the station and his progress to the City Hall where Mayor William Hale Thompson personally welcomed him, was made through a bedlam\of noise and ticker tape. { we Jay Lovestone Discusses.

He said that he did the labor movement. The task of the Workers (Communist) Party is not only to build and strengthen the trade unions, iacluding the trade unions of the American Federation of Labor, but also to expose the treacherous role of the trade union bureaucracy which is betraying the workers to their ene- my in every labor struggle. “The strengthening of the trade onions to a large extent depends upon the organization of the unorganized workers who are up to the p*esent time the vast majority of the working class. ‘The Party has achieved a great deal in the way of unification of the party, and,” ‘the speaker declared, “the complete unification of the party is now, being accomplished in this con- vention. He stated that the enendy of the workers would be able to find no source of joy in the lack of unity in the ranks of the Communists, for this lack of unity now disappears. The Party is vastly strengthened for the tasks which it undertakes in the im- mediate future in developing the working class struggle for the every- day demands of the workers and against thedanger of imperialist war which threatens.” Qonsiderable enthusiasm greeted Lovestone’s report, especially his ap- time will be given the delegates to discuss the report.
