ALLIES TONIGHT! FINAL CITY EDITION at New Orleans Again the striking street car workers of New Orleans have faced the fascist attacks of the police in their struggle for a living wage and endurable hours of labor and against company unionism. By a vote of 1,009 to 87 they rejected the agreement which was signed in New York ten days ago against the interests of the workers by William Green, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, and General Mauager A. B. Patterson of the New Orleans street car com- pany, and which had the approval of W. D. Mahon, national president of the carmen’s union. Green and Mahon, always anxious to serve the interests of the employers and to force the workers to accept intolerable conditions, thought that the New Orleans strikers who were facing starvation after a seventy-three day strike which was marked by gigantic street demonstratiens and three deaths, had grown so weary of the long sanguinary struggle that they could be herded back to the car barns and onto the street cars, bound and gagged to the company. This is in accord with the traditional policy of the bureaucracy which deliberately wears the workers down with the hope of weakening their resistance se that treacherous agreements secretly arrived at by the bosses. and the bureaucracy can be imposed upon them. The rejection of the treacherous agreement, which allowed discrimination against active unionists, was a direct rebuke to these labor betrayers. That the working class of New Orleans is standing back of the determined street car strikers is evidenced by the repeated demonstra- tions of solidarity during the course of the strike. The mass defiance ot the police, the storming of the city hall in face of gunfire, poison gas and hand grenades, is typical of the determination of the working class of the United States to engage in fierce class battles for their ‘elementary demands. The assaults of the police and the attempts at betrayal by the American Federation of Labor offficialdom reveals so plainly the class alignments that any observant worker can perceive the nature of the struggle. New Orleans emphasizes the rapid spread of radicalization of the working class. The same economic forces that impelled the series of strikes in the South, the heroic textile struggle in Gastonia, that caused the rejection by the workers of the sell-out | in the rayon plants at Elizabethtown, Tenn., and that in the North produces recurring strikes in the auto and other industries, are opera- tive in New. Orleans. Only those ‘who, like Lovestone and his followers succumb to the ideology of the petty bourgeoisie and stand appalled before the might of American imperialism, will fail to realize the tremendous signifi- cance of the radicalization process that is manifest throughout the ranks of the working class. The elemental power of the movement that is developing in these United States will sweep from its path all vacillating and opportunist elements. The New Orleans strike was directed primarily against company unionism, hence the workers were quick to reject the “agreement” so treacherously signed by Green and Mahon which meant that the Amer- ican Federation of Labor offficials would turn the New Orleans local of the-carmen’s union into what would be, to all intents and purposes, a company union. The attempted betrayal.of the New Orleans strikers by-Green and Mahon is an illustration of the indictment as agents of capitalism of the American Federation of Labor officialdom drawn up at the Cleveland convention which created the new trade union center, the Trade Union Unity League. The eyents at New Orleans further show that only a. militant, revolutionary leadership can achieve victories in the struggles of today. The determination, the tremendous will to struggle on the part of the New Orleans strikers, even though handicapped with a cowardly and treacherous labor bureaucracy, is by no means an exceptional phen- omenon today. It is characteristic of the sentiment of the great mass of industrial workers in this country. Not only does it show that the leftward drift in the working class has already brought large num- bers of workers of A. F. of L. unions into sharp disaccord with the bureaucrats and has made more necessary the struggle to defeat the bureaucrats for the leadership of the workers, it proves also ‘that there are tremendous opportunities for the building of new revolutionary 4 unions in all basic industries and all parts of the country under the | leadership of the Trade Union Unity League, which is the United States section of the Red International of Labor Unions.
