ae constructive, aggressive party, with offensive
policy for protecting labor agreed with President Taft
hat the amendment vicious and voted to sustain
y he veto. &## 3S@ s@5
!" BY their fruits We shall know them How many
Danbury haters and West Virginia miners anxious
to have the congress of the United States made of
members who would vote like this &comrade :" What
profit to the toers from such aggressive policy
hand in hand with the interests and the ayowed
mics of organized labor? This Socialist member Of
cast his just James Kirby, r president of
the National Association Manufacturers would have
him vote he would have voted if he had been in
congress The Socialist party takes the position of
third party in labors struggle with the employing in
terests and when to that which it considers the
Of universal salvation, vote, it Identifies it
self with the employing interests. When an issue Of
fundamental Importance is stake the partys official
influence against organized aborn fact
speaks of itself opposed to the otrepeated and we'll
devised PLAN policy and purpose of organized labor to
secure the full right of coalition. -
''But turn again to the results Of this policy Of
voting. In Socialists have had control,
partial control of municipal government And what
constructive aggressve policies did they inaugurate?
Whatever such administrations have had result
ed from appropriang the constructive remedial policies
advocated by the trade union movement. Each of
these administrations busily occupied in ag~
gressve work without regard for the defensive that the
enemy routed it in short order. Such is this marvel
aggressive policy to which the Socialists would
NIT the working people of America.
"Yet one more popularity When resolution was
before the Seattle convention proposing that the
ganized labor movement organize labor party, did
these enthusiasts for the vote defend the faith
that is in them and proong sessions with pleas for the
adoption of the resolution? Nay, verify. They spoke
against the resolution and then they committed the
pardonabe sin of voting against it. Only Is votes
cast in favor of such aggressive'' action Does even
one Socialist agree with himself any proposition:
Is there indication of consistency in any of their
deeds or teachings? <.-.-
"The New York Call it's readers that the
Socialist organization is not Fighting it's e Why
this conviction of security? Is not all life struggle for
existence? What guarantee has the Socialist party of
charmed life? Who is rash enough underwrite such
guarantee? Experience proves to all that defensive
as we'll as offensive tactics and policies necessary
for progress It is foolhardy disregard completely
the attacks of the enemy. The policies of organized
labor are the result of of actual experience in
promoting the interests of the working people and in
defending the rights that been secured They are
not perfect but they the best that toers have
as yet been able to think out. The organized labor
movement does not exist for propaganda purposes or
for theoretical gymnastics, but practical movement
for tolers living in world of women. It gets
results $50 - .*:" "s.tg-E
