CATHOLIC CHURCH FIRST,

The Catholic church has been in
America officially before Protestant
ism was started by Luther in 1917.
There were IL priests with Christie
pher Columbus on his second voyage
in 1494. The diocese of Santo Do
mingo was erected in 1912, and that
of Santiago de Cuba in 1922. In
1902 a priest emigrated with Cabot
from England to administer to Eng
lish settlers. French priests came
with Cartier in 1884.

literature, has briefly and to the
point summed up the position of So
cialism toward trade unions. He
says:
preface to Industrial Union
Methods.")
GAS MARKHAM students of social
evolution we (Socialists) recognize
that capital concentration has made
trade unions obsolete, and that the
principle of industrial Unionism $50
cialism) must be adopted in the near
FUTURE"
Now, that paragraph correctly
sums and defines the opposition of
Socialism toward trade unions, for it
is true as Kerr says (and all Social
lists who know Marks position, and
that means scientific Socialism).
Marx is against trade unionism for
trade unionism is the antithesis of
Socialism and that to Socialists is
justification for destroying trade I'M
ions.
You. perhaps, are one of those not
sufficiently in touch with the situa-
ton to know the real animus of So
cialism and Socialists to trade I'M
ions, and you say that your impress
sions were that Socialists want to
help the unions. Well. they want to
put them out of business as organi-
cations representing workers, and
we believe that the evidence in this
article is abundant enough to prove
that statement.
This article by no means covers the
field, for we could quote from hun
dreds of Socialists, all their authori-
ties, all their publications ard COM
pile large sized volume.
We could quote Bebel, Lieb-
knecht, Singer. LaFargue, Jaures,
Avelling, Hyndman, Bax, Spargo,
Berger, Wiltshire, Stokes, Hayes,
Hanford and the rest, in Germany,
France, England and America and
the result would be the same. Some
are bitter and outspoken and revo-
lutionary, while others are soft with
the diplomacy of the latter day prop
agandists, but underneath it all, yes,
and on the surface. where the tao
tics are lacking, there is that DELHI
crate, underlying purpose that If So
cialism is to conquer the trade I'M
ions must go out of business.
Why carry the argument further?
The case is clear. Socialism has been
heard in no uncertain language
and the reason is plain. Trade I'M
ionism stands directly in the path of
the progress of socialism and that is
why Socialism is opposed to TRADE
UNIONISM.

THE IRISH STANDARD

ufulS IudI Iu0 interests OF 1aOOr anu
capital are identical.
In a publication by the same
Kerr Co. entitled, Revolutionary So
cialism," by E. Debs. page %, we
find:
"And if we (Socialists) are against
your unions it is because we are for
you. We Socialists know that you
have paid your dues into them for
years and that you are animated by
a spirit of misdirected loyalty to
those unions"
Again, in publication entitled,
"Class Unionism," by e. Debs. page
2, we find:
"The trade union, itself, the prod
uct of industrial evolutions, is sub
ject to the laws of change, and the
union that may have served some
purpose quarter of century ago,
is now as completely out of date as
the tools of industry that were then
in use."
And on page 9 of the same arti-
Gle:
"Trade Unionism Wrong.''
when you see workingmen in
trade unions go out on strike again
and again and meet with constant
defeat does it not occur to you that
there is something wrong with that
kind of unionism?"
And again, on page II:

study and experience, became con-
WINGED that the old unions Grade I'M

ing class, and that new organiza-
ton was an imperative necessity"
And again, on page 80:
"In closing, I appeal to you, as
workingmen, to think for your
selves; to cut loose from those who
have misled and betrayed you

ranks and unity your forces. ap-

the sovereign citizens, the rulers of
this earth. They will build houses
and live therein; they will plant vine
yards and eat the fruit thereof. The
labor question will have been settled,
and the working class, emancipated
from the letters of wage slavery, will
begin the real work of civilizing and

ganlZatl0nS.
This is official endorsement of
strike-breaking against trade unions
and it again emphasizes the hostility
of Socialism to trade unionism.
VIM. English Walling, prominent
American Socialist, writes in the
Call of April 9, 1911, which he calls
IA friendly criticism of Industrial
Unionism, (the kind that Socialists
advocate to destroy the trade I'M
ions). In this article he asks for
greater energy among Socialists in
the trade unions to the end that the
unions may turn down trade union
ism and adopt Socialism. He says:
Here again, in the democratic re-
organization of unions, is the bat
tleground. In furthering exclusively
this constructive labor union and po-
litical program lies the work of So
cialist union men. By converting
their fellow unionists to give their
whole attention to this progress, they
can first regenerate the labor move
ment and then bring it body and
baggage into the revolutionary So
cialism."
This, again, bears out our declara-
ton as to the purpose of Socialists
in the trade unions. No thought of
the interests and progress of the
unions, but simply working therein
for Socialism.
Now that we have made some in
vestigations of the attitude of Social
ism toward the trade unions and have
produced the evidence from unques-
toned Socialist sources, let us at this
time take up the evidence of Mr.. Eu-
gene Debs as an indication of just
how bitter Socialism and Socialists
are in their fight to disrupt the trade
unions.
Debs.
OF course no one will doubt the
right of Mr.. Debs to be heard on the
issues or question his authority to
speak for Socialism. He is the main
attraction in the big show of So
cialism. He is the par excellence,
revolutionary blood and thunder
hero of Socialism in this great coun-
try of ours, and he has carried the
party banner as candidate for presi-
dent of the United States on three oc-
casions.
Now, Mr.. Debs, let it be said, is
no small fry among the Socialists,
and his profuseness as an orator is as
great as his profuseness as an au-
thor. We don't intend to write here
in the biography of Mr.. Debs, but
suffice to say he was at one time a
member of a trade union, but since
that long distant day and after be-
coming Socialist, he has spent his
energy in attempting to disrupt the
trade unions and has carried on an
untiring campaign against them.
His attacks on trade unionism
could fill many volumes and we can
only give some of the things he has
said about them. What he has
done against them is more serious,
for he organized, with his fellow
Socialists. dual organizations and
strike-breaking organizations.
He and the Socialist party have en-
couraged, aided and abetted every
secession movement from the trade
unions, and today the organizations
that seeded from the trade union
movement and the dual organiza-

And again, on page IL:
"You will sever your relations with
capitalist Grade union) unions"
And again, on page -:
Leave the Unions.
1.-THE workers of the country, the
intelligent ones, at least, readily see
the difference between Evolutionary
(Socialism) and reactionary Grade
unionism) unionism, and that is why
they are DESERVING the old and join
ing the new"
And again, on page of the publ
cation entitled, Graft (trade) I'm
ionism." by E. Debs, we have the fol-
lowing:
cat the very outset of this discus
sion, I aver that the old form of trade
unionism has not only fulfilled it's
mission and outlived its usefulness
but that it is now positively reaction
airy, and is maintained, not in the
interest of the workers who support
it. but in the interest of the capital
list class who exploit the workers
who support it. -
The above language is quite clear
and we see that it is the intent of So
oio1ic,,, IN doefro1, thu +rodo ,,nion,
because. they "are used by the cap
italist to exploit the workers"
Comment is hardly necessary, but let
us continue our investigation.
In the same publication, page 8,
Debs calls on the members of the
United Mine Workers of America to
leave their union, to secede and join
the Socialists. It's interesting to
note that in this very organization,
The United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, rampant Socialists are shaping it's
policies and with the end in view of
it's destruction as a trade union and
the making of it simply a means of
propaganda for Socialism.
Debs says:
ut (the United Mine Workers of
America) has fulfilled it's mission as
a labor union, whatever that has
been. It is now practically in charge
of the mine owners, and the only
way the miners can get away from
that situation is to sever their rela-
tions with that capitalist-controlled
union and join and build up one of
heir own upon the basis of the class
struggle, Socialism,"
And again, on page Is, Debs says:
Nov, we (the Socialists) who
have organized the Industrial Work.
ers, have had enough of this kind of
experience. We have quit the old
Grade unions) unions"
And again, on page 81, he makes
the appeal to the workers to leave
the trade unions for Socialism. He
says:
There is but one hope, and that
is, the economic and political solidar-
ity Of the working class. one revolu-
tionary union (Socialist) and one
revolutionary party Socialist. 1t is
for this reason that the Industrial
Workers (Socialist) in economic
organization, has been launched and
now makes its appeal to you as wage
slaves aspiring to be free"

Socialism is bitterly opposed to trade
