The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-26

Experience of this kind in America
was more crude but along the same
lines as in Europe. We but repeated
in a rougher manner what had oc-
Cured in Germany, England, France,
Belgium, in 1914. In every country
it had been the same-the trade I'M
ions had been turned into govern
ment-controlled machines for the
making of war. Yet the members of
these unions were all against war!
This helplessness of the trade I'M
ion movement in the face of an unde-
sired war, is but the reflection of the
intellectual helplessness of the work
ers before the bourgeois system of
ideas, imposed upon them by the
schools, the press, the very teachings
of the union leaders, journals, and
socialist parties. The unions could
not prevent war, because they were
under the theological control of the
war-makers, the capitalist class. They
were infested with agents of capital
ism, whom they could not recognize
and drive out because the workers
themselves were not class-conscious,
and did not have working-class me-
thod of thinking, working class out
look upon the world.
That is why it was possible for the

BY Robert Minor.

leaders, from making war upon the
source of war-the capitalist system
and the domination of the bour-
geoisie.
Another war will surely come, and
again the trade unions will be made
into war machines, unless and until
the masses break thru the doctrine
of collaboration with the war-making
capitalist class and, in it's place,
launch struggle to the death against
the entire capitalist system.
There is but one way to fight
against war, and that is to fight
against the cause Of war-the CAPT
talists. This struggle will, due to the
treachery of the bureaucrats and So
cialists, fail in most if not all coun-
tries, to prevent the imperialist war
now threatening breaks upon the
world. And then the task will be to
continue the same fight, using the OPP
portunity of the arming of masses
of workers, in conjunction with the
trade union struggle in industry, to
turn the imperialist war into the civil
war against the capitalist system.
History tells us that this is the only
road to the workers society, to the
abolition of war, to the freeing of the
workers from exploitation.

international trade union movement
to fly apart at the call of war, and
each labor movement rally to its re-
spective government, ready at the
word of command to slaughter the
fellow workers who, but day before,
had been Joined supposedly in work
ing-class solidarity.
That is why Karl Legien, chairman
of the trade union international or
ganization, could proclaim from his
Office that the cause of Germany was
lust and sacred" That is why HUI
Der, of Austria, could throw the trade
unions of that country into the war.
That is why Jouhaux of France,
could betray the revolutionary French
workers to the war machinery of that
country. Because the masses of
workers were hypnotized by the
preachings of class collaboration, by
bourgeois ideas of "fatherland" and
patriotism, by false and middle-class
pacifism, they were victims of the
most horrible slaughter the world has
seen.
There is no royal road to peace.
The workers Of the world do not de-
sire to kill one another, but they
shrink back, under the hypocritical
and cowardly influence of their mis-
