Stands Exposed. The resolution on Brookwood, after pointing out that “at no time in the history of Brookv-1 were its | characteristics so clearly defined, its | fundamental reformist nature so out- standing,” exposes its pretense of the so-called factual approach,” and declares that “nothing has crystal- | {zed the false character of Brook- | wood progressivism than the con- troversy with the chiefs of the A. F. of L.” The resolution quotes Muste’s ples that he is loyal to the A. F. of L.,| and declares that his loyalty is in- deed genuine. “It thus strips Brook- wood of all claims to militancy. In| proving his loyalty, Mr. Muste | points to the records of the grad- | uates and choses Julius Hochman, | whose name is anethema to thou- sands of needle trades workers, and Alfred Hoffman, who only the other day did his job in Elizabethton, | Tenn. Thus, hatred of the left wing | and betrayal of workers are the} qu eations required in order to be: listed among these loyal sup- porters of the A. F. of L.” The resolution points out that the present period is distinguished by mtense capitalist rationalization, widespread unemployment and a general downward trend in the con- ditions of the workers. It tells of the revolt of various groups of workers against this, and cites the New Bedford strike, the shoe work- ers’ strikes in New York and Bos- ton, the strike of the cafeteria work- ers, iron and bronze workers, and outstanding of all, the struggle of the textile slaves in the South. The resolution points out that practically all of these’ struggles have, and are being led by the left wing, To Serve Bosses. “Mustc,” the resolution says, “see- ing the trend of the times and know- ing to cloak himself with progres- sive phrases, is stepping in to do his humble bit and try to divert the militancy of the workers from chan- nels of open struggle against the employers, into that of class col- laboration. With his active initia- tion, Muste gathered all the birds of his feather for a crusade against the militant trend of the workers.” The resolution then proceeds . to describe the recent conference held in New York, “whose chief occupa- tion was the denunciation of the Communists and the left wing.” Not one word, said the resolution, was said of the various betrayals of the A, F. of L. bureaucracy in recent labor struggles. No sooner was the conference ended, it says, than they ousted Cal- houn from the faculty as a further step to prove Muste’s loyalty to the A. F, of L, Will Expose Workers’ Enemies. “The Brookwood Fellowship has a definite task to perform. At the present juncture in the labor move- ment there is more danger in the type of Mr. Muste, parading under the guise of progressive slogans, than there is in the outspoken reac- tionaries. It is the task of the Fel- Jowship to show up the pscudo- |strate mass solidarity of the left | wing and union conditions, without the dubious aid either of the bosses or the prosti- | tute, anti-labor Hearst sheets. The_letter of Dubinsky, of the I. L. G. W. follows: Editor, New York Journal, Dear Sir: Yop are to be complimented upon the enterprise, fairhess and ac- curacy of the account in today’s New York Evening Journal of the strike situation in the women’s gar- ment industry in Greater New York. “It is a pleasure to see such a powerful organ as the New York Journal present to its hundreds of thousands of readers the point Editor, The Evening Journal, New York City Dear Sir: We are writing to express our appreciation for the interest of your great publication in the crisis now confronting our industry. In going over <:e clippings on the situation, we were particularly impressed by an article appearing | in the Journal yesterday, June 12. This was a clean-cut, and im- partial review of the situation, and we are happy indeed to feel that you are taking a constructive in- terest in a critical situation which concerns many thousands of work- ers and many millions of dollars” THOUSANDS DUE AT RED PICNIC lInternational Fete on June 23 The Annual Red Picnic to demon- revolutionary workers against capitalist exploitation was announced recently by the Commu- nist Party, New York District, for Sunday, June 23 at Pleasant Bay/ Park. There will be singing, dancing, | music and fun, but throughout the | merrymaking will surge the spirit of the working class revolution and a} challenge to American imperalism. | This year, more than in the previous | 4 ones, thousands of workers of the| various industries and , languages | will join in the event that has be-} come a great Red institution, a sym-| bol of the awakening class consci-| ousness of the toiling masses of| Greater New York and its environs. An elaborate entertainment pro- gram is being arranged for the all- day outing. Tentative plans include races, jumping and other athletic! contests, most of which will be| staged by club members of the La- bor Sports Union. Preparations for a choral festival also are moving for- | | progressive movement and its allies) in the true light of misleaders.” | The resolution concludes with an analysis of the treacherous role of) the socialists in the last imperialist | war and in the Russian Revolution | and declares that the only party of the workers is the Communist Party | of the U. S. A. Back Workers School. Finally, it declares that “it is the task of the New York Fellow-| ship to fight Brookwood as a dan- gerous institution of social reform- | ism and to support such schools as | the New York Workers School. The | resolution ends with a plea for sup-| port for the forthcoming conference | in Cleveland which will build a new/ Trade Union Center, | “Such a center,” says the resolu- | tion, “will organize the unorganized,! will fight the reactionary trade union bureaucracy, the S. P, and the fake ‘progressives, will fight the war danger and capitalist ra- tionalization, and will fight for the equality of the oppressed races.” ward and these will comprise selec- {tions by proletarian singing societies “of various languages.
