BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 25.-
A general membership meeting
of the Workmen's Circle, which
was called by the city commit
tee in the Labor Lyceum, Sun
day, passed a resolution by an
overwhelming vote to endorse
Foster and GitIoW.
This general membership
meeting was called for the pur-
pose Of discussing the presi-
Dental candidates in the coming
elections. A. M. Green, the sec
rotary Of the city committee,
pointed out that the Workmen's
Circle in its declaration of prin-
ciples calls upon the members
to support those candidates that
stand on the class struggle.
S. p. and w. P. There.
After few members had spoken
the chairman announced that there
were Representatives of the Socialist
Party who wish the floor on the sub
ject. 1t was agreed that both rep
resentatives of the Workers Party
and the Socialist Party be given an
opportunity to present their pro-
grams.
Z Mrs. Esther Friedman of New York
City, representing the Socialist Party,
asked that the members of the Work
mems Circle support LaFollette be-
cause that movement represented a
revolt on the part of the workers and
farmers in this country against the
capitalist class. She also pointed out
that the Socialist Patry when it has
entered the LaFollette movement, did
not give up its revolutionary prin-
ciples but is working for the forma-
ton of a Farmer-Labor Party" She
also said that while her sentiments
are for Foster and Gitlow, she has en-
tered the LaFollette movement be-
cause it has the support of the A. F.
of L.
Speaks For Foster.
Joseph Siminoff representing the
Workers Party, analysed the economic
and political situation in this coun-
try since the close of the world war.
He pointed out that due to the CEN
tralization of wealth and the war bur-
den upon the shoulders of the petit
bourgeoisie and also the wages for
the industrial workers result in a re-
volt against the two old capitalist par
ties.
While the Workers Party was at
tempting to crystalize the revolt of
the industrial workers and the exploit
ed farmers into a Farmer-Labor Par
ty, LaFollette and the so-called pro-
gressives and the cooperation of the
Socialist Party betrayed the Farmer
Labor Party movement by sabotaging
the st. Paul convention which was
called for the expressed purpose of
forming Farmer-Labor Party.
In answer to the Revolutionary
of the Socialist Party, Sim
inof pointed to the Social Democrats
of Russia, who are today the leaders
of the counter-revolutionary move
ment against the Soviet government
of Russia. Also to the Social Demo
Gratis of Germany, England and
France who are today serving the in
terests of the capitalist class in a Of
fetal capacity. Also to the Socialist
Party of America, who are today part
and parcel of the LaFollette petit
bourgeois movement and yet main
tain the Revolutionary principles"
that Hillquit and Berger & Co. have
long thrown to the wayside.
The meeting by an overwhelming
vote denounced the Revolutionary
principles" of LaFollette, Hillquit,
Gompers & Co. and has enthusiastic
ally endorsed Foster and Gitlow and
the program for which they stand.
