Why was this done? In order to disarm the workers in the face of the vicious program of the bosses. Roose- velt is using the state power to blast through the crisis at the expenses of the workers, When 60,000 coal miners went on strike for recognition of their union, so they could use it as a force against the operators, to win higher wages and better conditions, every agency of the government was drawn in to break the strike, The miners from the very begin- ning of the strike felt the hand of the capitalist state power. They were first confronted with the com- d ERE they did not proceed to armed force immediately, but masked the powerful arm of the rul- | ing class, with all sorts of slimy maneuvres in which the A.

With this fiction, by thus masking the real nature of the government, the A. F, of L., and the U.M.W.A. leaders were able to stab the strike in the back. What is the real function of the capitalist state power? For instance, William Green, writing in the of- ficial organ of the A. F. of L., the “American Federationist” in its August issue, says: “Labor, capital and the govern- ment must maintain the spirit of cooperation, if we work together for mutual benefit, lifting our re- lations from a savage contest for advantage to an effort to make and share progress,” It is with such ideas that Roose- velt, and all the exploiters try to get the workers from continuing their struggles when the capitalist state steps in. They try to get the work- ers to think that they are not fight- ing against their enemies, the ex- central force of the coal bosses to ‘urprise attack by the tribesmen, ind lasted all night. in the central political power of the bosses, the federal sta . smash the strike. Lewis and Green told the miners © ploiters, but agains’ an impartial force. In reality, the state is the most powerful weapon of these very exploiters { ae? language of Lewis about the cooperation of labor and capital, to hide the role of the state, is used by the most vicious enemy of the miners, Andrew Mellon, owner of the Pittsburgh Coal Co., and its sub- sidiaries. In 1931, Mellon said: “Both labor and capital are begin- ning to realize their common in- terests . . . Labor as well as capital must think in constant terms and must act in harmony with and not in antagonism to those great eco- nomic laws which work so inexor- ably whether we like them or not.” Lewis, Green and the coal opera- tors use the same ideas about unity of interests, guarded by the state Uoaahad ied ebb tnci ancien worl No matter how hard the A. F. of L. leaders try to mask the role of the capitalist government, we see in practice that it acts in the interests of the’ capitalists against the workers. It uses every means, promises, lies, arbitration, codes, but behind it stands the powerful arm of the courts, police and army. Many years ago, In 1848, Karl Marx accurately described the capi- Capitalist State Power in Miners’ Strike Green Says Government Is “Impartial” Force ; But Miners Now See Its Naked Capitalist Class Iron Fist Directed Against’ Them talist state in the Communist Mani- festo, and the miners now are feel- ing the truth of his words. Marx said: “The executive of the modern state is but a committee for man- aging thé common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie.” |. Marx also pointed out what the state was, the different forms it takes. Whenever the bosses caui, they use democratic phrases, to hide their dictatorshiv. As in the coal fields they make all sorts of pro- mises, keeping the iron fist hidden. When that fails, they come out with brutal force, as the power of the capitalist state is always upheld finally by armed foree. Lenin in his thorough work on the state, entitled “State and Revolu- tion,” shows what the state really is, when its masks are torn aside. “The state,” he wrote, “is a par- ticular form of organization of force; it is the organization of violence for the purpose of hold- ing down some class... The ex- Ploiting classes need political sup- remacy in order to maintain ex- pleitation, that is, in the self in- terests of a tiny minority (the Mellons, Fords, Rockefellers, Morgans) and against the vast majority of the community.” In the Pennsyivania coal strike, the miners had a good example of this capitalist force and violence for the purpose of holding down, the miners. When the efforts of Lewis and Feeney failed, when the local yiolence failed, the federal govern- ment stepped in with threats of force. After the strike was stabbed in the back, when the miners re- turned to one of the H. C. Frick mines with their own elected check- weighman by the name of Ryan, the \ operators refused to accept him. The government had broken the strike with promises. But the oper- ators knew this meant nothing. They ordered the arrest of Ryan, and put in their own checkweigh- man. Pie ees | Not only is the Roosevelt govern- men# lined up behind the ex- ploiters, as the action in the strike showed, but it is inseparably and organically linked up with them. On the NRA there are General Johnson, Bernard Baruch’s man, himself. an exploiter and an executive of big corporations; Walter Teagle, of Standard Oil Co.; Gerard Swope, president of Morgan’s General Elec- tric Co. It is the role of the A. F. of L. officialdom to hide these facts, to preserve the fiction that the state is an impartial force, standing above the classes and administering justice equally and fairly to both. This fiction is necessary to keep the work- ers from struggling against the state, as well as against the indi- vidual bosses. Green’s trick is to make the work- ers believe there are three forces in- volved, each with a different inter- est. He tries to separate the in- terest of the bosses from their state : ¢ | guns He sets up the. idea that |Sublic parks and the roofs of big the workers exist on the one hand, the capitalist on the other, and in between them and separated from them, trying to reconcile their in- terests impartially is the capitalist state.
