» union that will fight against the com- os RT. BETRAYAL IS. CONDEMNED N. Y. Workers Party Issues Statement (Continued from Page One) tered into the union, they allowed the opportune moment to pass and al- lowed the Interborough to organize its strikebreakers and demoralize the ranks of the organized traction work- ers by. discharges, by employing strikebreakers and by intimidation. Coleman and company have been lull- ing the workers into inactivity by postponing and postponing action un- til the opportune moment had passed. These officials, Coleman, Shea, Ma- hon and the higher officials, Matthew Woll, Green and company, were never | in favor of a strike, but thought that by cowardly subservience to the fake promises of Jimmie Walker and by licking, the boots of the company they would be able to get recognition of the union. They could not organize the traction workers because they are in league with Tammany -Hall. “A union can be formed on the traction lines only by struggle, by a fight to the finish against the com- pany union and Hedley and Quack- enbush, by understanding that the capitalist \politicians of both Tam- many Hall and the republican party that rule this city are part and par- eel of the traction ring, by building up a leadership in your union that understands these things and is will- ing to fight against these powers for thé organization of the traction workers, There is but one thing to be done now. The situation of the men is unbearable, The company will utilize its victory to impose speed-up methods and new oppressions. It will not. grant wage increases. Even though it is able to carry through its fare steal, it will not give wage in- creases to the workers and what it may give as a maneuver to justify the fare increase it will take away doubly once the situation has passed. What Must Be Done. “The organization of Rank and File Shop and Barn Committees, se- eretly or openly, as occasion de- mands, in all the terminals and shops; the establishment of groups to secure the leadership of the unfon; the build- ing up of an organization inside your pany union within and the traction company Without; the pushing for- ward of leaders that are willing to fight against Coleman and Shea, Jim- mie Walker and Smith, and against Hedley and Quackenbush, can be done and must be done if the traction workers are to be organized and se- cure decent standards of living. “No traction workers who wishes to change the miserable lot of the men can shirk this task, ‘The men will struggle if they see militancy, courageous leadership and unhesitat- ing moves for organization. They cannot be kept down forever under the heavyweight of the yellow-dog contract of the enslaving traction trust. The men will fight if they see leaders. It is up to the traction work- ers themselves to take control of their union, oust Coleman and com- pany and build up a powerful organ- ization that will establish proper con- ditions for the traction workers of this city.” Labor Defense Bazaar Attended by 20,000; Many Cases Defended A total of 20,000 workers attended the five-day bazaar of the Interna- tional Labor Defcase, just closed, according to a statement issued yes- terday by Rose Baron, secretary of the New York section. The exact financial returns will not be available for some time, she said, but it is certain that the funds will give a great impetus to the de- fense work of the International Labor Defense. Among the cases now in the hands are the federal indictment of the editors of The DAILY WORKER, the deportation pvoceedings against A. Kobel, editor of the Esthonian weekly, Uus Ilm, the paper box strikers, and the case of the four workers arrested for distributing anti-injunction leaflets. \ All persons who have money for tickets or unsold tickets have been urged to report to the office of the International Labor Defense, 799 Broadway, Room 422. Nearing Will Give Two Courses at the Workers School on Imperialism Scott Nearing, who recently re- turned from a visit to China, the Soviet Union and Europe, where he made a special study of world im- perialism, the revolutionary working class movement, and the colonial movements, will begin’ two coursy Saturday afternoon, at the Workers School, 108 F. 14th St., one in “Mod- erm Imperialism,” from 2 to 3:30 p, m., the other in “The Development of the American Empire,” from 4 to 6:80 p, m.
