y THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1928 Page Five Workers Shout for Labor Party at Cooper Union; Jeer at President Green NO PROGRAM FO MILITANT FIGHT AGAINST BOSSES Want “Regulation” Not End of Injunction (Continued from Page One) the frantic efforts of those on the Stage to secure order. At the end, quite obviously un- nerved, Green stuttered: “Well, I hope you feel better now.” At another moment, the mention of | the words, “Sacco and Vanzetti” by one of the speakers in an attempt to appear friendly to the audience, was greeted with an outburst of perhaps five minutes duration, Shouts could be heard in the hall: “The A» Fy of L. never put up a fight to save Sacco and Vanzetti.” “Where was Green when they murdered them?” No Real Proposals. Throughout the three hour session of speech making, not a single funda- mental proposal was made for the ef- fective fight against the injunction. The prediction that only “verbal” challenge would be issued against the menace was more than born out. Prac- tically every speaker emphasized the announcement issued by Joseph P. Ryan, who acted as chairman of the meeting: “We are not opposed to in- junctions. We only want to regulate them.” ‘The purpose of the A. F, of L. of- ficialdom to prevent at all costs any rank and file expression was manifest from the first when a brass band of some twenty performers with a steady crash of musical thunder main- tained an intermittant bombardment whenever any clouds appeared on the scene, At the end of the meeting, the band was seriously taxed to drown | out the jeering and booing aimed at Green. Nevertheless, above the thun- der, could be heard the cat calls and hoots of the outraged workers. The meeting was late in getting | under way at 2:45 p. m. Consider- able of the audience had arrived at 2 o’clock. For fully forty-five min- utes members from practically all unions in the city appeared absorbed in reading copies of The DAILY WORKER which contained what was said to be a particularly appropriate news report on the meeting. and which predicted precisely the methods by which the labor officialdom would proceed to “enlighten” the workers. When the labor officials appeared on the stage and when chairman Ryan was about to begin, a member of the Young Workers League, Sol Berman, WORKERS PARTY Socialists Join Bosses | on Anti Strike Law! i = | (Continued from Page One) | anti-strike law, according to the an- nouneement of Cohen is. only the Communist Party. “We expected their oppositicn,” Cohen declared. Considerable evidence which has been growing during the past few days, indicates, however, that scores of unions,;and thousands of trade | unionists, aroused by the campaign |of the Workers (Communist) Par y against the menace which faces the | very life of the trade unions if thi | bill becomes law, are preparing a | country wide opposition to the at- tempt to hand. over their organiza- tions to the employe jbrought up a handful of DAILY WORKERS and distributed them to the labor officials, Tammany politi- cians and ministers on the stage. The main headline announcing the meet- ing on page one of the paper read: “*Unwanted’ Workers Go To Cooper Union; Ask Real Smash At Injunc- tions; No Tammany Lies.” It was under these auspices that the meet- ing got under way. Green in his speech began a long ficials, court justices and legal repre- sentatives to the injunction. Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, arch reac- tionary, was quoted as to the menace of the injunction. “Something has to be done,” said Green quoting Pepper, \“or a revolutionary situation in the United States will develop.” “But we are going to fight this menace,” he continued. “We will hold meetings throughout the country.” Groans became audible at various parts of the hall. “Don’t laugh,” Green shouted, becoming peeved. “We are really going to fight for freedom.” Later he outlined the suffering of the miners. “And it is under these ‘conditions that the employers have secured injunctions against us. But we aro fighting back. We have been sending relief to the miners.” At this point someone ° shouted: | “Sixty cents per man, average.” Green tried to continue: “We have been supporting our brothers, in| | Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Indiana, in| West Virginia and we will continue to do so as long...” “Colorado, Colorado, Colorado” was shouted from a thousand throats in jevery part of the hall. more of cheering and shouting fol- lowed. Chairman Ryan was dispatch- jed to the rear of the hall to consult with the chief of the Industrial Squad whose thirty or more huskies were stationed within the hall. Apparently no method could be devised to stop the three thousand unionists most of whom obviously were in sympathy with a program of real action. One of the amusing features at the meeting was the sudden appearance upon the stage, besides Green, of a outline of the attitude of public of-} Five minutes | IN A.CW.A.
