Proceeds Unit 93 OP , ad The Daily Worker Answers EDITORIAL NOT —We are glad to have your letter but we want to clarify and correct some points you raise, For example you say Green should keep out of Roosevelt’s business and put his own house in order, This implies that Roosevelt is benefiting the workers while Green is hindering him from doing it. In the first place, it is already clear that the Roosevelt program has been anti-working ciass, although covered up with sugar coatings. He has cut veterans’ compensation, cut fedetal employees’ wages, established camps at forced labor for the unemployed and a $1-a-day wage rate, ignored ¢ompletely the question of unemployment insurance, advocated the sales tax and is now putting through a Recovery Bill which carries with it an attack on the standards of all workers and especially will force down wages of the higher-paid workers to a low level. WILL GREEN DO IT? Then you say “Why don't Green put his own house in order? You seem to think that the clean-up job can be done by Green and his “‘co- workers”! Most rank and file workers are rapidly learning that Messrs. Green, Woll, McCa:n and the whole crew of labor fakers are the chief racketeers who have created and support the machine of petty official Tracketeers to keep themselves in office, They are primarily responsible for the present conditions which con- front the workers in the A. F. of L. They have fleeced dues, driven out the unemployed, worked with the bosses to cut wages and destroy the standards of the workers built up after years of struggle, broken strikes and fought against unemployment insurance at the expense of the bosses. It is Green's business to work with the Roosevelt government and the Chambers of Commerce to impose the bosses’ policies on the rank and file. It 1s for this reason that the Roosevelt government ahd the bosses work closely with him and his henchmen. It is neither His business nor his interest to work for the benefit of the local union membership. You speak of the tactics of the A. F. of L. being responsible for driv- ing meibers into “Communistic locals”. Unions which adopt a militant program and fight loyaliy and honestly in the interests of getting better conditions are called Cemmunistic. This is the bosses’ method of split- ting the un!ty of the workers, of dividing them against each other. When the workers are at each others’ throats the bosses can more easily take advantage of them. This is the bosses’ policy and also Mr. Green’s policy. The bosses and the Green machine are united against the best interests of the workers. COMMUNISTS IN UNIONS. The militant unions have many Communists who Participate ac- tively in the leadership of these unions. But who are the Communists? They are not destructive as you have been made to believe. They are the most courageous, and most loyal fighters for the interests of the work- ing class. They are the ones who have fought to get rid of Green and the whole créw of bossés lieutenants in the workers’ ranks, But these unions are not thereby Communist unions, they are the Tilitant unions organized to include all workers in an industry regardless of political affiliations. ‘Thé conservative unions are so called because their leadership has been conservative. The A. F. of L. officials are part and parcel of the capitalist system. and haye no interest apart from it. But the member- ship of conservative unions will struggle for better conditions under hon- est, loyal leaders. When you speak of the labor fakers as driving more workers to Communism you imply that Communism is a worse state than capitalism, but Communism seeks to abolish the capitalist system which is based on exploitation. and putin its place a society which abolishes the exploitation and rule of the bosses for the rule of the workers as we see it in the Soviet Union today. Members of the A. F. of L. we welcome letters from you. We want to get more letters. Write us about your struggles against the racket- eering officialdom. We can help you in your struggle.
