Greetings, honor roll St., 6th floor.—Algonquin 4-9481 strikers, that they have just as much to do with the actual policy, program and tactics of these high-salaried of- ficials as do the ferocious defies! hurled at each other by two prize-/| | fighters on the outcome of a com-/| ing brawl that is already in the bag. As the head of the Southern Coal Operators Association, himself a} former official of the United Mine | Workers, said to one of the chief | officials of that union at a public | hearing in Washington, D. C.: “You've had your belly up to the pie counter for 15 years and in that time you've got mor dough from us than you did from the men you’re supposed to represent!” When all A. F, of L. leaders are upholders of capitalism, when the capitalists are fully conscious that these leaders will do anything neces- | sary to suppress all challenge by workers to the system, when, as Gorman, head of the strike com- | mittee of the United Textile Work- ers, said the day before yesterday in reference to the bloody military onslaught on workers in Rhode | Island: “We will join with any-| body to fight the Communists,” when, as the employers know, cer- tain labor officials receive subsidies in one form or another from the| slush funds of various capitalist or= | ganizations, they feel that they are) fairly safe, at least for the time being, in going just about as far as they like with their offensive against the living standards and| elementary political rights of the working class. Employers Fear Ranks This is one reason why the big employers’ associations obviously | have decided to make the textile | strike “a Showdown with union labor.” They see the new leader- two or three million newly organized workers and they have decided to jforce a finish fight while the pres- jent A. F. of L. officialdom is still in control. Alarmed by the tremendous scope, unprecedented militancy and the increasing political character of the mass struggles, monopoly capitalism | has, judging from the events of the last two weeks, entered upon a new stage of its drive against the living standards of the entire American working class. The capitalists in-| tend by force to compel a retreat of the working class and its organ-| izations, It is impossible to overestimate the seriousness of the consequences for the labor movement implicit in the program adopied after a two- day session in Hot Springs on Sept. | 13 and 14 of 150 “leading industrial- lists,” a program preposed by George Housion, president of the Baidwin Locomotive Works and chairman of the Durable Goods Industries—the organization of big capital in the basic industries. Want Greater Control According to the New York Times of Sept. 15, the program calls for N. R. A. to be redrafted so as to) be still more favorable to monopoly capital, to “be so changed as to provide for monopolistic control of certain industries in the form of modified cartels under government supervision.” ‘This proposal is sweeping and brazen enough but the key point in this program of monopoly capital deals with wages and hours: It is claimed that “wages are too high in many lines,” and “opposes further wage increases.” It is in- tended to “arrange for further wage decreases, if possible.” In regard to working hours the Springs program maintains that “if maximum hours are not abolished, they should be set so high as not to interfere with the restoration of parity between wages in manufacturing and the general price level.” Program Fights Insurance All legislation for unemployment. insurance, old age pensions and other social measures are to be fought more intensely than ever by the combined forces of monopoly capital backing the program. Gen- eral unemployment relief by the local, state and federal governments is to be abolished, according to this program. In other words, the program calls for the still stronger organization of monopoly capital against any rise in living standards of the toiling population; for a decrease in liv- ing standards; for a fight to the finish against all demands and measures which interfere with prof- its and the rapid increase in the amount of profit to be wrung from American workers. It is inconceivable that this Tory |program should have been adopted in the midst of the mass upsurge in the textile industry and in the face of the general militant temper of the working class unless its spon- sors were assured that, after some demagogic gestures and the usual empty threats of President Green and other “recognized” labor offi- cials, these same officials will try to organize and lead a retreat, will try to organize the surrender of the labor movement to this new Program of monopoly capital. Cheered by Green’s Words Do not these monopolies have on record President Green’s announce- ment of the need for launching a new campaign to drive the “Reds” out of the labor movement? Do not these multi-millionaire and bil- lionaire enemies of the working class know that such a campaign, if successful, would mean cutting the living, fighting heart out of the |organized labor movement? they not know in 1923 it was such a campaign that alone made pos- sible the foisting of the castrating policy of labor-management co- -Op- eration upon the labor movement? Of course they know it! Pres- ident Green, whatever he may say |in the future, has already given his | guarantee of disruption and per- secution within the labor movement while labor’s enemies drive with all forces against it on the outside. Other leading officials will have their special tasks, We do not have to go beyond industries, 3,000 Demonstrating In Milwaukee Win FERA | Workers Compensation MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 18.— Three thousand workers massed at the court house here last Tuesday afternoon, at the call of the United Front Committee of F.E.R.A. and Unemployed Workers, presented a six-point program of demands to the relief officials, and won full workers’ compensation for relief workers. In addition to the demand for workers’ compensation, the commit- tee demanded a 30-hour week for all relief workers at guaranteed minimum wages of $20 a week, union rates and conditions to ap- ply. Other demands called for $10 weekly cash relief to each unem- ployed plus $3 for each dependent, The demonstration, called at the time of the first meeting of the County Board, was joined by many members of the Socialist-led Work- ers Committee on Unemployment. JUGOSLAVIA WORKERS GREET THE COMMUNIST PARTY PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18.—Dele- gates to the first district conference of organizations of Croatian and | Serbian workers, representing all the provinces of Jugoslavia, have adopied resolutions condemning the present military-fascist regime in Jugoslavia and protesting against the armed enters on the toxtile| and sent a telegram of | greetings to the Communist Party Writer Cite s Drive ee developing out of the ranks of |their strikebreaking record of the T ells of Presi dent last year and a half’ In the first mass strike of the coal miners in the steel company | |mines of Western Pennsylvania last | | August, did not John L. Lewis, Vice | President Phil Murray of the United} |Mine Workers, and other such lead- ers urge the miners not to strike| against the starvation conditions in jthe mines but to wait for the coal code—which, when formulated and | signed, by outlawing strikes and| | penalizing strikers, gave the com-| panies more domination over the | lives of the miners than they had| ever dared hope to have. Was it not Ed McGrady—an A. F. of L. organizer made assistant | secretary of labor to strengthen the| organic connection of the A. F. of| L, hierarchy with the government—| who got the miners to return to| work by pledging the “honor” of President Roosevelt that their griev- ances would be “adjusicd’? | It is a matter of labor hist rs returned to work; that their conditions became worse than before; that within a month jor two they had to strike again, this time with their ranks increased | | from 35,000 to 75,000, It is a mat- ter of record that they were gassed | and clubbed and some shot and killed. It is also a matter of record that they were on strike in October when |the 53rd Annual Convention of the | A. F. of L.:met in Washington, D. C., and that neither by word or |deed did the official caste in that convention take cognizance of their brave struggle.

It is a matter of record that at the height of the strike of the ten maritime unions on the West Coast, at the height of the general strike | that paralyzed the Bay Counties’ industry, when 10,000 troops,. police jand armed thugs were massed | against the worters, President Green issued a statement saying that “the strike is unauthorized,” and that “it has no national signi- | ficance.” Ryan and Rossi—Pals It is a matter of record that Green’s satellite, Joseph P.

Amtorg Introduces Genuine Vodka For the first time in ten years, genuine Russian vodka, imported from the U.S.S. is being offered for sale by many New York liquor deal- ers. This is the same pure wheat vodka that has been used for centuries in Russia and was so popular with many who are now Americans.

It is a matter of record that this on- Slaught discouraged and to some extent demoralized them in prog- ress. This was the intention of this | joint maneuver of President Roose- velt and President Green. “This is not the time to strike,” Green told the steel workers. Yet | the industry was in the midst of ® spurt in production. Two months later production dropped to 35 per cent of capacity, then to 30, then | to 25, then to 18 and then to 15 per | cent of capacity. Tens of thou- | sands of, steel workers who were employed at the time of the con- vention were once more thrown out on the streets to beg, steal or slowly | starve on the hunger relief rations | in the steel towns. | Communists Told Truth Additional thousands of workers |know today who was honest and who was right. They know that it was President Green, the $12,000 per year labor leader who lied to! them and betrayed them, who took | |from them the best opportunity they had for years to organize and make some advances, who preached | surrender when the moment called tor militant struggle.

The plank declares: “Against Roosevelt's ‘New Deal’ attacks on the living standards of | the toilers, against rising living costs resulting from monopoly and in- flation, for higher wages, shorter hours, a shorter work week, and improved living standards.” The other planks, deeply rooted | the vital immediate needs of the nation’s workers, poor farmers and small business mien and _profes- sionals, are: Against capitalist terror and the) growing trend toward fascism; against deportations and oppression of the foreign-born; against com- pulsory arbitration and company unions; against the use of troops in strikes; for the workers’ right to | join unions of their own chi strike, to picket, to demon without restrictions; for the tenance of all the civil and political | rights of the masses.
