We have not yet even gained the 8-hour day. The Clean- | ers and Dyers section of the Trade Union.

Norman Thomas Offers Social Fascist Plan to Save Capitalism ho is aspiring l-fascist role Norman Thomas, w! to play the same soc in America as MacDonald is now plying in England, got himself into the bourgeois press in yesterday when he o ed to supply the capi- talist world with a working plan. Capitalism, Norman thinks, is get- ting itself a frightful mess, what with driving people out of work, etc. And unless it gets a little more plan into it, it may actually result in “chaos in two generations ;” or in working class language, the workers may and will decide to take matters into their own hands and wipe out the whole rotten system, following the example of their brothers in the Soviet Union. Thomas wants to save capitalism from the wrath of the workers by getting the bosses to soften up a little and give the workers a little more leisure “to cultivate their gardens and their minds,” as one capitalist paper reported it, but above all by helping the bosses and their police to keep the workers from developing a revolutionary struggle against the entire capitalist system.
