What Congress Has
and Has Not done
for Labor
(By Sational Socialist Press.)

Washington, Aug. 31-A resolution
TO investigate the Taylor system and
other systems of shop management is
The only labor measure enacted by
the Democratic House. And failing
10 pass any labor bill is the record of
the Republican Senate.
DiliSent Search through the Con-
S~ressional Record as we'll as inquiry
anon members OF the Labor Com
nnttee''of %borh, houses, .discloses the
fact that the extra session of the
S~iXty-second Congress-, just closed,
failed to pass or advance any of the
important labor bills before the Ma
tional Legislature these many years.
The following labor measures have
been buried in the committees OF Con-
greSS.
A bill to regulate the issuance of
inJunctions in labor disputes.
a bill to exempt labor unions from
the operations of the federal anti
trust laws.
"A bill to provide for the pension
ing OF the Veterans of industry.
Bills TO prohibit the common car
riers from transporting goods made
by child and convict labor.
Bills to provide for employers liza
bility and workmen's compensation.
"A bill to grant American seamen
their CONSTITUTIONS rights.
a bill to grant employees of the
Federal Government their Consfitu-
tional rights.
a bill to prohibit enlisted men from
competing with civilian workers.
y bill to establish Il Department of
Labor.
-
a bill to regulate the employment
OF women in the District of Columbia.
A bill to prohibit the employment of
child labor by the Federal Govern
ment.
A bill amending the eXtradition laws
to prevent kidnapping.
The resolution to investigate shop
systems was enacted by Congress- the
eleventh hour after Il bitter fight. The
Republicans thrice blocked the con-
sideration of this measure by raising
points of mo quorum"
That measure was passed only af-
ter It's author. Representative Wilson,
OF PENNSYLVANIA. permitted Minority
Leader Mann to strike out all the

ses and class privileges.
The Rock of Glass Rule.
1he private ownership of the land
anu means of production used for eS-
ploltation is the rock upoa which class
rule IS built: political government is
lis Indispensable instrument. Tho
wage-workcrs cannot be freed from
exploitation without c~onuuerinr the
political power and substituting col
lective for private ownership of the
iand and means of production Used 10:
exploitation.
The basis for such transformation
Is rapidly developing within present
capitalist society The factory system,
with its complex machinery and
minute division of labor. is rapidly de
stroying all vcstiges of individual
~prouction in manufacture. Modern
production is already very largely a
collective II social process. The
great trusts and monoDolies which
have sprung up in recent years have
organized the work and management
OF the principal Industries on n na-
tional scale, and lave fitted them for
collective use and operation.
Land and Public Welfare.
There can be no absolute private
title to land. All private titles,
whether called fee simple or other
wise. are and must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used for the purpose of exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands the col
lective possession. control or manage
ment of land TO whatever extent NAV
be necessary TO attain that end. 1t is
not opposed TO the occupation and DOS
session of land by those using it in n
useful and bona fide manner without
exploitation.
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re
ligious belief.
I.abor'S interests Identical.
In the struggle for freedom the in
t%erests OF all modern workers are
Identical. The struggle lis not oily
| national. but International II ON
braces the world and will be carried
to ultimate victory by the unite work
ers of the world.
To unite the workers of the nation
and their allies and sympathiZers OF
all other classes to this cpd is the mis-
sion Of the Socialist Party. In his
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule for capitalist class rule.
but by working-class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and to
realize the ~international brotherhood
of man.
