FINAL CITY EDITION _NEW YORK, MOND A Y, NOVEMBER 25, 1929 Price 3 Cents New York City, The Heralds of Fascist Dictatorship “TOES the Hoover Conference Pian mean that economic power will eventually supersede political power in control of the government?” This was the question put by the New York Post Friday, placing the question artfully to help the idea along among’ the masses, sick of capitalist parliament, that something fundamenta! in the line of change must be made, raising the question without too hasty an approval, but turning the popular mind to fascism, dressed up with demagogy about “economic government” as something erior after all, to “futile politics.” i On Friday, Kent, the New York ate Committee, composed of so-called “insurgents” led by Borah, quite clearly announced the impatience of nce capital with capitalist par- liamentary forms, reaffirming the statement he made in New York for which he was called to Washington to answer, that while “the coun- try,” by which Kent meant finance capital, was in a crisis, “the senate had ceased to function.” In seores of capitalist newspapers the same note of urgency is laid, even though at times not openly, on the need for “extraordinary meas- ures” to “overcome political red tape and delay,” and the big initial step to fulfill fascist requirements taken by Hoover’s “Economic Con- ference for Business Advance,” was followed up Saturday by Hoover’s further declaration that this sort of “capitalist-labor-government” com- bination would be made 2 permanent organization. Hence the fascist dictatorship in the guise of a purely ‘“‘economic conference” already overshadows the United States Congress and the fig-leaf of American “democracy” is withering in the heat of capitalist crisis. Naturally the windbags of “democracy” led by Borah are taking an attitude of alarmed protest at the charge that parliamentary obstruc- tion on the part of the “insurgent bloc” have anything to do with the crisis, and are complaining at the way the processes of government are being taken out of the hands of “the people’s elected representatives,” But these leaders of bourgeois reformism, the Borahs, LaFollettes, | Norrises and Nyes are the very ones who, in capitalist parliament, serve as a comouflage for the present capitalist dictatorship. As capi- talist politicians they uphold capitalism, and can do no more than quibble about the form of capitalist dictatorship. The form'of capitalist dictatorship is changing precisely because there is a crisis. During “easy” times the dictatorship of the capi- talist class is hidden behind election swindles and the gas-factory of capitalist congress and legislatures. The toiling masses are kidded into believing: that they “govern themselves” under a “democracy,” and the worker wh6 is clubbed by cops on the picket line or pierced by a militia bayonet, is deceived into thinking that, after all, this is something “exceptional,” something “un-American.” But such cases are only small crises, in which the actuality of a dictatorship of the capitalist class dispenses with democratic camou- flage for the moment to “restore order,” i. ¢., to restore capitalist order and capitalist law. But in a great: crisis the field is widened. The whole paraphernalia of hokum about “democracy” is shoved rudely aside and the capitalist class rules with as direct a force and as brutal a violence as it deems necessary. That nothing is more natively “American” than organized violence against the masses is shown by the way the masses were dragooned into the last World War. Again there is a deepening of capitalist crisis, a world crisis, and in the middle of the storm is American capita’ That is why the heralds of fascism are sounding the trumpets of a change in the form of “tapitalist “dictatorship. Not yet abolishing “democratic” forms Hoaver is assembling the real rulers of the country in a desperate effort to overcome the crisis. class bear the expenses of an imperiaiist thrust to gain world markets, to bear wage cuts, more speed-up, longer hours, wider unemployment. It is called on to bear not only these, but to stand ready to die in a sew world war for the interests of the class which robs and enslaves it. A petiod of sharper class struggles begun. But the capitalis' class always will try to deceive the masse While it will resort to open and direct fascist violence and ignore “democratic forms,” it will draw in the “socialists” to parliament and government position to gabble about “democracy” and hold the fig-leaf over naked dictator- ship as long as possible. The social reformists become the best instru- ments of capitalism for ushering in fascism. But the time will come when these socialist-fascists can no longer deceive the masses, who through struggle will learn t the only se- curity against capitalist dictatorship, open or concealed, is the dictator- ship of the working class. And led by the Communist Party the work- ing class will enter the final fight for power. pi summoned before the Sen- Mobilize For Battle! 4§NDEPENDENT leadership of mass struggles” is the leading slogan ig ot the revolutionary unionists of the world since the Fourth World Congress of the Red International of Labor Unions. It is neces: to find the forms and methods by which this slogan i: rried into li It means the most merciless struggle against the traitorous trade union bureaucracy, including that section in the needle trades which calls itself socialist, but is becoming the recognized leader in the developing social-fascism in the United States, uniting openly with the bosses and with Tammany government against the revolutionary unions and against the working class, To throw back the offensive now being planned by the bosses and the Schlesinger social-fascist “union” against the workers in the dress industry, it is, necessary to mobilize the full strength of the workers _ under the leadership of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union. It is necessary to bring into active struggle the full forces of tho: thousands of workers who have for many years demonstrated their de- testation of the betrayers of the Schlesinger brand. It is necessary to organize every shop into a fighting unit, into a fortress of the revolu- i tionary union, into a center of battle against the bosses and against their agents, the ILGWU clique. By agreement with the bosses, this gang is arranging for a fake “strike,” which is nothing but a scheme to throw the workers into the |) Phands of the open agents of the bosses. This is a “strike” against the workers, organized by the bosses. | What shall be the answer of the NTWIU to this attack by the bosses and their agents? It shall be the answer of struggle.

It’ shall be the answer of strikes ‘on all shops where the bosses try’ to prevent thy unionization of the’ workers, or who refuse to enforce the conditions of work laid down by the union. It shall be the answer of a drive of the strictest enforcement of conditions in the shops which have agree- ments with the union. It shall be the answer of ten-fold activity, ten- fold fighting spirit, ten-fold determination never to allow the scab agency of Schlesinger & Co, to get their black paws on the dress in- } dustry again, And it shall be the answer of calling all the dressmakers to rally around the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union, to build up its shop delegates, to strengthen its committees, and to mobilize the dressmakers for a real general strike, to which the bosses will not agree, of which the bosses will be afraid, and which, when the dress- makers themselves decide it is to take place, will really establish a powerful workers’ union in shops which will enforce the union de- 4 mands, stop the speed-up and wage-cutting which the bosses practice every day by the piece-work system, and make conditions in the dress shops of New York under which the workers can regain their health { | and strength. ‘And above all, the’ workers in the shops must relly all workers in every shop, no matter what their affiliations or lack of affiliations, to establish a real united front of the workers at the bench, From the shops must come the representatives of the workers, who will be the organizers and leadérs of a militant, fighting, victorious dressmakers’ section of a militant, fighting, victorious Needle Trades Workers’ In- dustrial Union, The slogans of the day are: Mobilize for Battle!

The 200 jworkers of tha tmill belong to the National Textile Workers’ Union, and struck solidly against the at- committee that demanded a lunch {period on each shift. The strike is also against the stretch-out and other grievances. The mill has announced that it will open with scabs tomorrow, and the strikers are mobilizing for mass picketing. Another meeting is to be held today at 3 p. m, at Messemer City, N. C., at which Sophie Melvin, Joe Carr and Charles Summey will speak. Saul’s bail was originally set at |$600.

S. Detailed steps for the formation of an outright socialist third capitalist party were taken at the New York | “Socialist” party convention held yes- terday and today at the Rand School. “If any new body should in the future give promise of uniting the workers and progressive citizens in one effective political body, the so- cialist party will meet the situation | in a friendly and generous spirit and | will be ready to join,” is the basis of the new policy of alliances against the workers adopted at the New York convention. Arguments for the resolution were advanced under the leadership of the | capitalist lawyer, Morris Hillquit. | Norman Thomas sponsored the | idea that the party should immedi- | ately elect a committee to make a! bridge with all the petty bourgeois | elements who formed the bulk of the | . vote cast for Thomas in the last | mayoralty election. Also to take in anybody else who will help get away from the disreputable taint of “so. cialism.” Every delegate without exception | favored the new alliances. Hiliquit wanted the socialist party to assume the socialist-fascist, imperialistic | character of the British imperialist labor party. Norman Thomas want- | ed outright, open capitalist alliances, | | with a slight concession to the labor party idea—if the labor party is | willing to accept the petty-bourgeois leadership of the “socialist” party. The vote was 67 for Hillquit’s views and-73 for those of Norman Thomas. The convention was opened by the yellow socialist, Louis Waldman, who gloated over the capitalist press sup- port given to Norman Thomas in the last election. “The dignity and statesmanship of our candidate,” said Weldman, “is admittedly above his fellow candidates, Walker and | La Guardia.” Several members of the Young People’s Socialist League broke out | singing a garbled version of the “Red Flag,” very muth to the an- | noyance of the delegates and the temporary chairman.
