It is the open drive of the biggest finance-capitalists, the heads of the largest combina- tions of banks and industrial trus the United States. This remarkable phenomenon, which every intelligent worker should make it his business to understand, was shown most conspicuously dur- ing the last municipal election in New York when some of the most | s, to build up the Socialist Party of powerful financiers deliberately threw the support of their metropolitan newspapers to the candidate of the “socialist” party for mayor. The same trend it being shown by such events as the combination of the dress manufacturers, the police, the A. F. of L. and the Socialist Party in the attempt to revive the so-called “International Ladies Garment Workers Union” (nothing less than a strike-breaking company union), and the calling of a so-called “strike” which has the sole purpose of forestalling a real strike, breaking up the real union of the workers in the dress trade and preventing a struggle of the workers for increased pay and better conditions. The latest episode is the quarrel between the preacher candidate, Norman Thomas, and the lawyer, Morris Hillquit, at the Rand School last Saturday. It is a quarrel over the best method for developing the socialist party in the service of the capitalists as a social-fascist party. It is easily understood that these two men might have differences as to “What Next?”—that is, as to what to do next after the New York capitalist newspapers, the Times, the World, and the Telegram, had rolled up a vote of 175,000 for Thomas in the New York municipal election. The Reverend Thomas has the political background of the Presby- _ terian Brick Church of Fifth Avenue, New Yo bourgeois, or at least petty-bourgeois shop-keeper’s background. quit, on the other hand, a shrewd money-making la imply and solely a Hill- v today, having close connections with the clothing manufacturers of New York, never- theless has still closer associations with the professional “labor lead- ers” who so long misled and betrayed the needle workers, and is him- self deeply experienced not only in the socialist party of the United States but also in the international so. His thirty yea past. of experience in “social: cialist movement of the m” as one of the alled debauchers and betrayers of the working class have made Hillquit one of the most expert strike-breakers of the most modern type. Thomas, the preacher, with no “labor” background, can see nothing but a wholesale flop into the building of a middle-class party in name as well in acknowledged fact. the socialist party cannot fulfill its job for the American capitalists without continuing the outward pretense of being a “Labor” party. Thomas does not know what Hillquist and the capitalist backers of the socialist party in the election know very well. y Times, supporting Thomas, recently became alarmed and publicly Yo Hillquit, on the other hand, sees that In fact, the New warned the “socialist” preacher that he would lose his usefulness if, in the chase for the capitalist class votes, he efaced all of the “labor” coloring of his party. The outlook of Hillquit is that, with the ‘Inew attitude of the (acpi- talist) press” in building up a “greater moral pres: party, there is “an era of better times ahead for ‘Socialism. ge” of the socialist 2” Hill- quit understands that, not only there is no need to drop the word “social- ist,” but that on the contrary there is every need to continue the use of some of the phraseology which lays claim to working class support. Hillquit closely observes the experience of the European countries. He knows perfectly well that the German social-democratic party could never have saved the capitalist government of Germany and have been rewarded with office if it had not appeared before the workers’ eyes as “socialist.” He knows that MacDonald would be of no use whatever to the British ruling class if his party, in suppr ing the working class and blood-letting in India, did not appear before the workers as a “labor” party. He knows that even the strike-breaking Mr. Hillquit and Mr. Schlesinger are doing in New York now would be entirely impossible without appearing before the workers as “socialist” and “trade union.” Hiliquit knows that the Rev. Thomas, in dropping the pretense of “socialism” would be killing the goose that | capitalist support at times when the capitalist clas the labor movement. It is a question of fulfilling the function of social-fas United States. because he sees that the capitalist cla: vs the golden egg of s needs traitors in m in the Hillquit sees a “glorious future” in the socialist party, is already beginning to nurse the little social-Mussolinis which they know they will need more and more. The crash in Wall Street and the rapidly growing industrial crisi many big manufacturing plants are already closing down or working half-time—have much to do with it. The growing power and influence of the Communist Party, which now leads every real struggle of the wor s and which can now become amass party if it proceeds with sufficient energy, has the rest to do with it. The policy of the shrewdest capitalists is quickly, even if we have to support it openly with some of our new papers, for we will need it desperately in the near future as the only means of breaking strikes and —and—suppress the Communist Pa S I more and more the leader of the workers in every struggle against us.

The police chief refused to tell why saul and Totherow were ar- rested and stated the union must bring an attorney and cash bond “if you want them out.” Workers followed the chief and the police to the jail to prevent them from beating up the prison- ers, This action by the workers followed after the police chief had asked for the names of the speak- ers and then said, “Well, it doesn’t matter what your name is, it will be mud when I get through with you.” The terror has increased against workers in the South, through a united front of the bosses, state, church, and labor fakers of the A.
