How many vepresentatives the gangsters h-ve on the capitalist papers will of ourse not be revealed. To the class-conscious worker is clear that gangsterism can not be wiped out without destroying the system that engenders The capitalist system by its very na- ture creates parasitic elements. Beginning with the big bankers and owners of industry down to the professional petty thief, there is a host of unproductive elements living off the surplus value produced by the workers. rep- other History of Gangsters. The present day wealthy gang- sters and bootleggers is a direct product of the labor strugg! The Pinkerton Detective Agency was nothing but an organization of pro- fessional gunmen organized for the purpose of breaking strikes and framing up strike leaders. That organization was fostered by big business who saw in it the necessary tool to terrorize workers. Many such agencies arose, all devoted to the idea of furnishing the bosses | with criminals ready to attack the | workers. With the advent of pro-| hibition these criminal elements saw an opportunity for additional | profits and ey took spears, of | i HIT FAKE NEEDLE CONFERENCE OF "w=" STRIKE IN CALIF. Conference Called to Force Real Strike LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.—Out of | about 800 cloakmakers in Los An- geles only about 250 responded to the general fake strike call of Bres- | low of the I. L. G. W. U. Piece-work is the chief concession | offered to the bosses by Breslow. Breslow is already conspiring with the boss open shop city administra- tion and with the needle bosses to force open shop conditions upon the cloakmakers. The great majority of the cloak- makers realize the betrayal of Breslow, who is the instrument of the bosses to force piece work, to worsen the conditions of the work- | ers. The N. T. W. I. U. is calling} a conference of cloakmakers Satur- day, Sept. 6th, to expose Breslow’s fake strike and to mobilize the cloakmakers to turn this fake strike into a real struggle for union con- | ditions in the shops, under the leadership of the N.

The Novem- elections are approaching. The Communist Party is at present col- rep’ xt | lecting signatures for the purpose | of placing its candidates on the | ballot. The fear that the Com: amu- | nist P; will expose the whole rotten alliance between the capit- ‘ties and the capitalist gang- sters leads the capitalist press to| make its fake investigations, | Insull and Zuta. | It will not be difficult under the | circumstances for the Communist | Party candidates to show that on} the one hand gangsters like Capone | and Zuta, control the local govern- | ment by sharing with the officials the huge sums of money derived m vice, gambling and booze and on the other hand the bigger and more important robbers, like Sam-/} uel Insull and his ilk control both the local officials and the gang- sters. To destroy the power of the gangsters we must destroy the power of the capitalistic robbers. * * { P.S.

This rank and file conference, which was postponed on August 23 because of the heavy storm, will take up the burning questions confronting the| cloakworkers. In issuing the call for the conference, the N.T.W.2.U. says that the question of electing delegates to this rank and file con- ference must be taken up by every union member in his shop. In a call to all men’s clothing workers, announcing a conference of shop committees, the men’s cloth- ing department of the N.T.W.1.U. says: “Our union conditions have | been smashed. More wage-cuts and speed-up are forced on us every day. The bosses are utilizing the| |present chaotie condition so as to still further attack the conditions of the tailors.
