"DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1934 Page Three INDUSTRIAL UNIONISM IS A MAJOR ISSUE AT A.F.L. CONVENTION Lewis S A eee Must Be Given Class Content Militant Rank and File Fight Is Needed for Real New Form By B. Sherman One of the most important of the recent developments in the American labor movement is the growing sentiment of the masses of workers in the American Feder- ation of Labor for industrial unionism. This has reached the stage where a number of interna- tional unions have gone on record for the industrial form of organi- zation. This, together with the problem of the federal issues, makes it certain that the question of in- dustrial unionism will be one of the main questions debated at the A. F. of L. Convention opening today in San Francisco. The great struggles of the past year have made it very apparent to the workers that the craft sys- tem for which the A.F. of L. bureau- cracy stands divides the ranks of the workers and makes it easier for the employers and their strike- agents who are at the head of the A. F. of L., to defeat the workers’ struggles. The labor bureaucracy dame up against the problem of industrial unionism when it proceeded to or- ganize the workers in such mass production industries as auto, rub- ber. etc., into federal locals. For such industries the efforts of the A. F. of L. to organize the workers on a craft basis had proved futile. This was in line with the change of tactics on the part of the A. F. of L. leadership, which, in order to divert the organization and strug- gies of the masses from the influ- ence of the revolutionary and in- dependent unions, is leading strikes itself. They lead strikes in order to better carry through their policy of arbitration and betrayal. The original intention of the bureaucracy was to organize the workers into federal locals and later split them up into the various craft unions. These federal locals, with their industrial form of organiza- tion, and, in most cases, militant local leadership, represented a big danger to the A. F. of L. bureau- cracy, and Green hesitated to carry the plan through, and is faced with this dilemma at the A. F. of L. Convention. The fact that a number of inter- national unions have gone on record for industrial unionism under pres- sure of the rank and file, shows that some-of the A. F. of L. lead- ers are preparing to maneuver with this question. Such bureaucrats as Lewis and Hillman, whose policy of N. R. A. strike-breaking and arbitration is fundamentally the same as Green’s, will attempt to utilize the demand of the rank and file for industrial unionism, because of thelr minor differences with Green, and pose as the leaders of the fight for industrial unionism. Their inner quarrel with Green, however, does not mean that there is any essential difference between them in their class-collaboration policy, as can be seen by the policy of betrayal followed by Lewis and Hillman in the U. M. W. A. and A. C. W. A. Lewis and Hillman are merely maneuvering with the sentiments of the masses and their rising temper, in order, by these “left” gestures, to better hold them in check. It would be a mistake, however, to draw the conclusion that because Lewis and Hiliman advocate indus- trial unionism, we should in any way hesitate to carry on the most energetic fight for the industrial form of organization, and be at the forefront of the struggle. Rank and File Must Lead Fight The masses of the rank and file workers in the A, F. of L. unions must realize that the fight for in- dustrial unionism, a burning need for the American workers, and to- gether with it a fight for a mil- itant class struggle policy, will not be carried through by the Lewises and Hillmans. This fight cannot be brought to a successful conclusion without the mobilization of the rank and file against the policy of Lewis and Hillman, as well as Green. The victory of the industrial form of organization would strengthen the forces of the working-class by doing away with craft divisions, by uniting the workers in a given fac- tory or industry, and thus place them in a more favorable position to fight in the defense of their eco- nomic interests. Although some of the A. F. of L. leaders are attempt- ing to utilize the sentiment for in- dustrial unionism to strengthen their own position, the uniting of the workers in industrial unions would actually be a blow to the whole A. F. of L. bureaucracy and their policy of splitting the ranks of the workers. The industrial union form will make it easier for the rank and file to undermine the hold of the bureaucracy over the trade unions, uniting the workers in the factories into one solid block. But the industrial union form is not enough. As long as these unions remain under the reaction- ary leadership of the labor bureau- eracy, even the industrial unions will not be fighting instruments of the workers for the improvement of their conditions, as the members of the U. M. W. A. under Lewis can testify. In addition to fighting for the industrial union form, it is therefore necessary to add content to that form by fighting against the strike-breaking leadership of the |B’ labor bureaucracy and their policies. Therefore, while not only sup- porting every move for industrial unionism, but earnestly fighting for it, the rank and file opposition in the A. F. of L. must show that, alongside with this, the rank and file workers must fight for a class struggle policy, and for rank and Browder Hails United Front Against Fascism and War As the Most Promising Development in America Today Councils Urgel Wide Protests on Convictions Working Class Leaders Face Long Prison Term In Pennsylvania NEW YORK—The National Board of the Unemployment Coun- cils yesterday called upon all work- ing-class organizations to protest the conviction of Phil Frankfeld, Pennsylvania unemployed leader, and James Eagan, national secre- tary of the Steel and Metal Work- ers’ Industrial Union, by the Penn- sylvania Supreme Court last week. The Councils’ s.atement follows: “The National Board of the Na- tional Unemployment Councils pro- tests against the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which has upheld the conviction of James Eagan, national secretary of the Steel and Metal Workers’ In- dustrial Union, who was sentenced to from one to iwo years, and Phil Frankfeld, secretary of the Al- Jegheny County Unemployment Council and member of the Na- tional Executive Board of the Na- tional Unemployment Council, who was sentenced to from two to four years, “Their convictions are based upon the militant struggles these comrades have carried on in behalf of the unemployed. “We call upon all working-class organizations to protest these con- victions and to demand the im- mediate release (they do not begin to serve until next week) of these two workers. “This is an aitack not only upon these workers personally, but upon the militant organizers of the work- ing class. We cannot and will not tolerate having the jeaders of our organizations taken away, for this will only encourage the bosses to increase their vicious attacks upon the working class.” Exhibit of C. P. Work For Negro Liberation To Be Held in Harlem NEW YORK—The exhibit of the development of the Commu- nist Party among the Negro peoples of the world, planned by the Upper Harlem Section of the Communist Party in connection with the 15th Anniversary cele- bration of the Party, will open on Friday, Oct. 12 and continue through Sunday, Oct. 14. The exhibit will take place in the Harlem Workers Center, 415 Lenox Avenue. There will be a musical program and the National Negro Theatre Group will perform. Speakers for the occasion will be Clarence A. Hathaway, editor of the Daily Worker; Max Be- dacht, secretary of the Interna- tional Workers Order; Jack Sta- chel, actiong secretary of the ‘Trade Union Unity League; Harry Haywood, secretary of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and James W. Ford, section organizer of the Communist Party in Harlem. file control of the union, to wrest it from the hands of Green, Lewis and Hillman. The maneuvers of Lewis and Hillman must be exposed, and the rank and file opposition must take the leadership of the fight for in- dustrial unionism at the A. F. of L, convention, as well as for a mil- itant fighting program. In this way we can defeat the attempts of the labor bureaucrats to exploit the issue of industrial unionism for their oWn benefit, and show the masses that their struggles will only be sidetracked and betrayed if the workers are deceived by the man- euvers of the Lewises, Hillmans and so-called “progressives,” who have never catried on a real struggle against the policy of Green. The program of the A. F. of L. rank and file committee is one around which all honest militant elements must rally at the A. F. of L. con- vention against the program of Green, Lewis and Hillman, : Aeoistane Has Stood Test, | He Says at Opening of Anti-War Congress CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Following is the text of the address of Earl Browder, General Secretary of the Communist Party, U. S. A, at the opening of the Second U. 8. Con- | gress Against War and Fascism in the Coliseum Friday night: Friends: This meeting, and the Congress | which opens tomorrow, are prom- ising signs of the rise. of a great united movement against Fascism and war, Surely such a united movement is sorely needed. The United States is driving rapidly toward Fascism and toward a new imperialist war. Revelations of the Senate Arma- ments Invesiigation Committee have slightly lifted the lid of ex- posure; the resulting stink of cor- ruption shocked the world. The | governments of our own and other countries were shown as partici- pants in a gigantic game of mass | murder for profits. These extreme nationalists, these 100 per cent Americans, these fight- ers against the Reds, are disclosed as international murderers, they arm the United States against Japan, and Japan against the United States; they sell munitions impartially to both sides in the South American wars; they rearm Germany and help rouse fear at | this rearmament. The stink of this cesspool of murder and bribery has frightened our statesmen. They conclude that what is dangerous is not the condition, but its exposure. Now the lid has quickly been clamped down again; investigations expressed fear that their revelations, if continued, would cause upheavals and revolu- tions, Fight War-Makers At Home It is very easy to shout com- plaints against the war prepara- tions of other countries. But that does not help to stop war, that only strengthens the hands of the war- makers, who live on the fears of | what the “other fellow” may do. The only way to fight war is to begin by fighting the war-makers in our own land, to extend this fight into the factories, especially in | munitions factories, docks, etc., to bring this fight into every mass or- ganization, trade unions, fraternal societies, clubs, farmers’ organiza- tions, churches, among the Negroes, soldiers, veterans, women and youth. The Roosevelt administration is carrying through the greatest war program even seen in peace time. The very “recovery appropriations” for relief of the starving are turned into war appropriations, into gigan- tic naval expansion, into army mechanization, into poison gas, bombs, tanks, airplanes. Every per- son and party who helps this pro- gram is helping prepare the new World War. The only way to fight war is to begin by fighting the war program being carried through by Washington, Rising Fascist Violence A part of the drive toward war is the rising wave of fascist violence against workers, farmers, and the Youngstown Workers Observe 15th Birthday Of C.P. at Mass Meeting YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 30. —The recent celebration of the fif- teenth anniversary of the Commu- nist Party was one of the most suc- cessful meetings ever held here by the Communist Party. The hall was filled by 300 work- ers. There were members of the Amalgamaied Association of Iron, | Steel and Tin Workers, the Ohio Unemployed League and the So- cialist Party in the audience. I. ©. Ford, candidate for Gov- ernor, delivered a brief address. John Williamson, district organizer, spoke on the history of the Com- munist Party in the United Siates. The high spot of the meciing was the presentation to the Youngs- town section of the Socialist banner which was carried in the historic May Day parade in Cleveland in 1919, during which National Guards- men attacked 50,000 marchers with tanks and killed two workers.
