Chicago Federation Officials Make Futile Gestu GRAND RESULT PALF. L AGTION IS NOTHING DONE. Statement in in News Is! Without Program (By Worker Correspendent). CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—The recent sweeping injunctions issued ®y var ous courts against the trade union movement have called forth a large volumé of resentment in the labor wovement as well as among the un- o¥ganized workers. So powerful was this feeling of resentment and protest among -the workers, and so obvious % the danger to the labor movement of these injunctions, that even the reactionary heads of the American Federation of Labor were compelled to take note of these problems... The results of their so-called efforts have geen nothing as usual, because of their failure to attack the problem in a fundamental manner. i Fools Workers. This is the feeling of the progres- sive trade unionists and working class filitants in the Chicago labor move-, ment. The position taken by the Chi- cago” Federation News on the ques- tion falls short very considerably of whet.the situation actually demands. The Federation News of Dec. 3 wri eS: “The flagrant misuse of the injune- tion, swwhich has done infinite harm to organized labor, has become a para- mount-issue of the American Federa- Hien ‘of Labor.” This statement is in the opinion of the progressives of the Chicago labor movement more or less correct. The better way of stating it would have heen, that while the misuses of the miunction has become a paramount iseue for the American working class, the heads of the American Federation ef Labor are failing to mobilize the forces of labor for.an effective strug- @le against the injunction. Must Organize Labor Party. One of the criticisms in this con- fection made by the Chicago pro- fressives against the Federation News and the present leadership of the Chicago Federation of Labor is that both fail to-draw the proper con- @usions from the injunction. situa- tion. The position taken by the pro- gressives is that the only effective an- swer to the “flagrant misuse of the injunction” is, first, the mass viola- tion of the injunction, not only in word, but in deed, and, secondly, the erganization of a labor party to fight Hgainst the domination of the employ- ing class in the American government. It is also stated that a vital means ef fighting the injunction as well as the general offensive of capital against lahor, is the organization of the unorganized and the general strengthening of the trade union movement.

Organize Relief Just a few days ago, “our” Presi- dent Coolidge in a talk before the | Union League Club, pictured the con- ditions in America as rosy and pros- perous. From the ovations and ap-| plause he received it is quite evident | that those present agreed with him wholeheartedly. Now comes the ques- tion who were those present and what jkind of a club is the Union League | Club? Organ- A Bosses’ Club. By investigating we learn that the | | Union League Club is an organiza- | tion swhose membership is composed of the richest and most powerful capitalists of Americ». It isthe real Congress of America and controls both national and state governments. | To this body all presidents must come and dutifully report to their masters. No republican president since Lin- coln failed to deliver his report to this group, except Harding, who died before he had the chance. ~ Prosperity For the Capitalists. Knowing these facts about the Union League Club, it becomes clear to us for whom it is rosy and pros- perous. Is it for the workers? Of course not! It is for the members of the Union League Club, the capital- ists. It should also become clear to us| why the government interferes with | and breaks strikes. Why the courts | issue orders against the workers re- fusing to permit them to organize. Why they send the militia in Colorado to protect scabs and shoot down help- less striking workers. Why the po- lice beat and arrest anyone who dares to strike for better conditions. A Bosses’ Government. When these things become clear to us we will see that the government is the tool of the bosses and we will understand the necessity of helping workers on strike, especially the min- ers who have been evicted from their | homes and forced to live in barns and tents. Help For the Miners. Their suffering has been most | severe and we must answer the appeal of the group of miners’ children by lending our aid as much as possible so that they can continue OUR fight, the fight against the capitalists.

A few days ago, right in this min- ing camp at Martins Ferry, Ohio, two company guards were coming down the road in a machine and we called them scabs. They stopped and asked, “Who said that?” We said, “Try and find out.” One of them got so mad that he took out a gun and said that he would shoot us all. came out of a house to see what was going on. When he got on the road he asked the guard what he was do- ing with a gun in his hand. The guard told him to shut up or he’d hit him with the gun and then pushed him off the road, Then a woman ran to tell the marshall. When the marshall came we told him that a guard wanted to shoot us. He didn’t say anything so we asked him what they would do to the company guard. He answered that they would take him to the City Building. They took him there and the next day he was out after giving only a small bond. They let him go because the coal operators are backing him up. Then they took the miner who came out of the house and put him in jail. He didn’t do anything, he only said that if he had a gun he would shoot the company guard who wanted to shoot us. He didn’t have a gun but they took him anyway be- cause they wanted to scare us and to start some trouble so that they could keep the injunction against us for- ever. But we aren’t afraid of the jail or the guns either.
