The I. w. w. Announcement.
ment:
THE general executive board of the
/. w. w. recommends that this or
ganization do not affiliate in any man
ner with the Red. Trade Interna-
tionale. The board has reached this
decision after careful examination Of
the constitution and resolutions
adopted by the first congress at Mos
COW, the preliminary report and nu-
merous other documents transmitted
by Fellow Worker George Williams,
the only authorized delegate sent from
the l. w. w. to this congress. The
board regards afiiliation by the [. w.
\ w. with this so-called internationale
as not only undesirable, but absolutely
impossible, for the following reasons:
Il. The congress expressly con-
demned the policy and tactics of the
/. W. w.
'2. The Red Trade Union Interna-
tionale is political in character and
dominated by politicians. 1t is, in
fact, the Communist party thinly dis
guised.
"3. 1t is the announced intention OF
the clique which created and which
controls the II. r. L. T. to liquidate all
labor organizations everywhere that
refuse TO submit to their autocratie

trial revolutionary labor movement.
"6. Even if 1t were permitted to as
sociate our activities with any politi-
cal group. the |. w. W. would find il
impossible to cooperate with the Com
munist party of America"
The above statement was signed by

ers' Party of America, OF New York,
justifies the Herrin massacre in the
following editorial:
Five thousand miners plunged into
the battle against strike breakers.
This happened in southern Illinois, In
the mountainous district between the
towns of Marion and Herrin. They
have armed themse,yes-some with
iron bludgeons. others with rifles, still
others with guns. Some have seized
weapons from the shopkeepers OF the
neighboring villages.
"The strikers besieged the mine
where 100 strike breakers We're work
ing. A war ensued, the miners tri-
umphed and now the mine is not
working. There We're a few wounded
and dead left on the spot after the
battle. Now the strikers maintain a
guard around the mine to preserve

non-union miners and so great was
the response that local authorities
We're afraid to interfere with these

Labor Fares Somewhat Better"

In another article on the labor situa-
ton. the Filnds says:
"A few months ago we wrote pre-
dieting the greatest strike wave TO
hit this summer. The miners. the tex
tile workers the railway workers and
a number of the smaller industrial
labor are on a strike. with thousands
Of workers still preparing to join them
in the great conflict.
"The situation is critical. The
wealthiest capitalist country in the
world in which labor fares somewhat
better than in Europe, at least Is
prostrated by industrial paralysis
The striking and the unemployed
masses stand like a phantom before
the SNUG and 4contented rich. The
ruthless exploitation of labor by the
greedy rich has tried the patience of
millions of workers.
The plutocrats cater but TO an
insignificant minority; with the help
OF bullets they are trying to liquidate
the class war; whereas the toier begs
for bread. The plutocrat showers him
with lead The public is swinging to
the left. Look in the direction of
Herrin and West Virginia. The
march of the class war is growing in
dimension and intensity.'

Vital Right Involved.

THE bourgeois press will sound an
alarm. 1t viii accuse the workers Of
criminal acts and shout venom at
them. The fact is that in this case
the workers We're protecting their
rights to strike and to light out their
battles with capital.
"The vital right OF the miners was
infringed upon. Nothing was aide TO
stop thcm-even sacrifices. Like a
violent torrent they swept the OBJ
stacle from the road and intimidated
both the scabs and their protectors.
Upon grasping their class interests
in a broader and historical sense they
will not hesitate to start the great
