HIGH COURT
SCORED; USURPS
IT'S POWER

Washington.-The supreme court
was unsparingly criticised at con-
ference called by. the national wom-
ems trade union league to consider
the supreme courts annulment of
the District of Columbia women's
minimum wage law.
President Gompers declared that ii
is the purpose of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to see that the will
of the people, as expressed by their
ballot, shall be the law of the land
He said the greatest wrong in the
supreme courts decision was the de-
NAL of the principle congress inserted
in the Clayton law, that labor is not
commodity nor an article of COM
merce. The court ignored this declara-
ton, said President Gompers, and
likened women's labor to the selling
of shin bone for soup. The trade
unionist said the supreme court OF
the United States is ian autocratiC
and dominating agency of our govern.
ment," and he urged that its usurpa.
ton be ended by amendment to the
constitution or by other congressional
action.
Other speakers included A. F. of l.
Vice President Vol, DIR. John A
Ryan, of the social action depart.
ment, national Catholic welfare coun.
ell; President Maud Swartz of the
National women's trade union league
and Miss Mary Anderson, director OF
the Federal women's bureau.
1t was reported that since the WON.
ems wage law has been annuned
wages of women have been reduced by
hotels and department stores.

above, and CONTEMPORARY refer To
"the great organized masses of slug
gish workers" who must be led by the
"clear-sighted minority"
And they mean themselves, Of
course, when they talk Of clear
sighted minority"
The trade union theory gives all
power to the workers while the other
secretly expresses contempt for the
workers, whom they would publicly
sooth by their soapy phrases.
1t is as impossible to compromise
these two theories as it is to mix oil
and water
There is no place in the trade union
movement for reyolutionists.
They are not interested in improy-
Ing the workers conditions. Their
object is to overthrow socitey and
establish dictatorship of the prole
tariat." By this they mean rulership
by the "clear-sighted minority" over
"the great organized masses of slug
gish workers"
Their one big union and their in
dustrial and amalgamation schemes
are not intended for industrial pur-
poses, but for political purposesAto

ton.

THE ENEMIES OF LABOR

We are accustomed to think Of the
big non-union employers and the
politicians who enact laws against the
toilers as our enemies. But to many
the claim that our most powerful
enemies are within our own ranks
may seem strange. John H. Walker,
president of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor, all his life fighter in
the struggles of labor, has the follow
ing to say on this point:
The most effective work done by the
enemies of organized labor today, is
done inside the labor, cooperative and
political organizations, by spies, stool
pigeons and kept mens whom they
have been able to have elected or ap-
pointed to positions oil power and in
tluence.
In the. trade unions, they betray the
membership in making agreements
and settling disputes. These men
refuse to call strikes, when the men
could win--they call strikes when the
men have no chance to win. They
prevent organization of non-union
men when it could be done success
fully, and put on organization CAM
paigns when il is most disadvantage
eous. They call off strikes that could
be won-they continue strikes that
are hopeless. They advocate the
things that are at the time, impossi-
BILE, impractical or useless, and oppose
the propositions that are possible,
practical and useful. They disqualify
or expel the men they can not control
they cruelty the subordinate divis-
ions which they cannot corrupt or
crush, and in most cases the fanatics,
extremists, impossibilists, impractical
or uniformed (misled by the propa-
ganda of the cunning, skillful, highly
trained, conscienceless traitors) sup
port them.
The most difficult, and at the same
time, the most important job of the
labor movement today, is to Dust these
men who are within their own ranks
doing this work, and to do the work
of education that will enable the rank
and file 10 avoid the pitfalls and traps
of this. character, set for them. To
free themselves from these influences,
is herculean task.
And the tragic fact Is that many
tried and true soldiers in the good
fight will share Walkers opinion
and not without cause.

UNION PRINCIPLES CANNOT
RE IGNORED.

The executive council of the A. +.
Of l.. has called on the Seattle CEN
trial labor council to "repudiate its
approval of the soviet dictatorship
and the principle of communism" and
to otherwise comport itself in ac-
cordance with the constitution, prin-
ciples, and policies of the A. F. of L.
These conditions are the price for
continuous affiliation with the A. +.
of l.. and follow repeated complaints
from trade unionists of that city'.who
insist on trade union central body.
The executive council took similar
action in the case of the Minneapolis
trades and labor assembly, which ac-
coded to the councils demand.
To say that trade unionism can be
reconciled with autocracy, whether il
be communism or Garyism, is to ex-
hibit unusual Ignorance.
In his own circle the communist
who thoroughly understands his les
son will acknowledge that there is
nothing in common between unions
and dreams.
He jeers at democracy and talks Of
the mob" when he and his kind pri-
vately refer to the people as whole.
He insists that the workers must be
led, and he intends to do the leading,
When he talks to trade unionists,
however, he affects a most weeping
interest in the workers welfare.
That he believes in autocracy, as
does Mussolini, Judge Gary, and ex-
Kaiser Bill is indicated by this state
ment, printed in the first Issue
March, 1929 of the Labor Herald,
official organ of the communist Trade
Union Educational league:
' "the fate of all labor
