Before the Socialist Party commit
ted suicide it, now and then, took oc-
casion to expose the so-called pro-
gressivism of LaFollette and his fol-
lowers Commenting on LaFollettes
support of one Thompson against the
labor leader Frank j. Weber, running
for the United States Senate, the Mil
waukee Leader said on October %,
192O-
"And here comes Bob LaFollette
and his would-be progressives and
would-be union men and puts up Mr.
Thompson That's dirty politics
on the part Of the progressives, who
by the way are composed of town
politicians and fake labor leaders who
are looking to LaFollette to pick them
up and give them better office not
for the best interests of the people
but to further their own ends and
keep the progressive forces divided" 4"

Of Regulation" (P 54): "The results
which followed the enactment of the
law regulating public service corpora
tions in Wisconsin have very much
pleased the special interests. The
chief reasons for this are the follow
ing; The largest consumers get the
lowest rates Public utility stocks
and bonds enjoy a rise in value. The
utility corporation is protected from
competition The owners are granted
an indeterminate franchise. The in
vestors are granted large dividends" +"
What more could the employers
ask from the government?
Talks Against ProgressiVes.
Finally, Victor Berger addressing
Congress on May 10, 1924, character.
ized the spurious progressiyes, at
whose feet he is now worshipping, in
the following stinging manner: "In
America, as in Europe, however, it is
absolutely useless to expect any help
for either the farmers or for the
workingmen in the cities from the po-
liticians of the capitalist organiza-
tions.

LaFoIlette Swallows Corpse of Socialist Party

1.-THE republicans and the democrats
will do nothing to relieve the situa-
ton, except to introduce bills which
obviously will not pass both houses OF
Congress, or such as will only help the
big fellows in the end. Our progress
sive politicians are also worse than
useless, so long as they hang on to the
coat tails of the old parties, because
these progressives are simply assist
ing in the sham battle.
mo matter what beautiful phrases
this or the other great progressive
leader may use in order to get the
votes of the plain people, the policy
of both. and especially of the repuDh
can party, is invariably dictated by
Wall Street and high finance"
Yet, today, three months after this
speech Berger has driven his party
to become part and parcel of the La
Toilette movement, of the LaFollette
organization which is supporting
many republican and democratic con.
gressmen, senators and governors who
are avowed enemies of the workers.
In Wisconsin, for instance, LaFollette
is backing Governor Blain who is
scores of miles away from progress
sivism. In New York, for example,
LaFollette is supporting the republi-
can congressman Dickstein against
the socialist Meyer London. In Mon
tana, LaFollette and Wheeler are be-
hind Senator Walsh whom the State
Federation of Labor has denounced in
its last covention as a bitter foe of the
workers and as the author of the
vicious state criminal syndicalist laws.
What About Members?
What will the rank and file Of the
Socialist party say to this complete
right-about-face of their leaders? How
will they look upon their party COM
mitting hari-kari as an Independent
political organization? Is there no
way in which they can square ac.
counts with their misleaders who
have stabbed in the back the move
ment for independent working class
optical action?
Will they be satisfied to follow the
leadership of and put their faith in
LaFollette who has for years done
everything in his power to thwart the
attempts of the workers to organize
themselves as a class to fight polit-
ically against their exploiters?
Merely to put these questions is to
answer them for the s-conscious
workers of the entire country.

Czecho-S -Slovaks Are
Raising Funds to
Start Party Paper

A very lively meeting of Czecho-
Slovak branches held Friday, August
29, at Novaks Hall, raised $545.0O to
establish a Czecho-Slovak Communist
paper in Chicago and also further de-
cided that every member of the fed
Grafton should be asked to loan $1,000
for the financing of the paper.
This is the effective and spirited
answer of the Communists to the
splitters and takers of the Spravedl-
most outfit who were recently expell-
ed from the Workers Party Fifty-five
members were present at the meet
ing and discussion on the publication
of weekly paper, took up most of the
time.
The Federation Bureau was empha-
tic that the paper be published in or
der to fight the gang which controls
the Spravedlnost and to carry the
message of Communism to the work
ers. Discussion was animated. Near
ly all the members took part with
the result that the proposition of the
Federation Bureau for the establish
ment of a paper and means Of raising
the funds was unanimously carried.
Federation Bureau is taking steps to
inform the other branches thruout the
country to follow the lead of Chicago
Czecho-Slovak members in raising
funds. Local Chicago Workers Par
ty donated $500 to the present fund.
The Czecho-Slovak comrades also
realize that to maintain a real Com
munist organization the comrades
must be organized on the. shop nuclei
to put over the industrial registration
of the party.

The U. S. commissions report on

cannot be satisfactory to determined
and enlightened working men and
women. A class party of the workers
is needed" (Page TAD
1t is on this record that LaFollette
has won over the Socialist Party lead
ership. LaFollette has not dropped
his vigorous opposition to a class
party of the workers. The Wisconsin
senator is as vociferous as ever in his
denunciation of any and all who dare
call his program radical At the
Cleveland Conference it was LaFol-
lette's influence that prevented the
gathering from taking an official atti
tude towards the Negro problem and
the Ku Klux Khan.
In 1920 LaFollette failed in his Of
fort to kill the Farmer-Labor Party
In 1920 the Farmer Labor Party re
fused to permit LaFollette to dictate
its principles. Four years after, last
July, LaFollette succeeded in striking
mortal blow at the farmer labor
movement The same socialist lead
ers who denounced these efforts OF
LaFollette in 1920 helped the same
LaFollette to undermine the indepen
dent working class political move
ment in 1924. And this in spite Of the
fact that today, more than ever be
fore, there is an urgent need for a
class party of the workers!
Socialists Right-About Face.
In the past the socialists have moi
minced words in ripping up LaFol
lette's trust-busting program Or
September 3, 1904 the Wisconsin SO
cialist state convention adopted a
resolution which read. "As for Gov
ernor LaFollette, he is powerless
against the trusts and capitalists, be
cause, as a good republican and law
yer, he cannot consistently oppose
property rights of any kind These
rights are more sacred to all so
called reformers than the rights Of
man"
Daniel Hoan, now socialist mayor o.
Milwaukee, has made it clear in his
pamphlet rThe Failure of Regulation
that: Not only were trusts not prose
cuted in Wisconsin while Senator La
Toilette was governor, but, they have
not been prosecuted before or since
in spite of the fact that there was
then and is now a statute (sectior

tion, a review of what the Socialist
rank and file once actually compelled
these same leaders to say of Robert
NJ LaFollette is very timely.
Charged with LaFoIIettIsm.
Even twenty years ago Berger had
his eye on the LaFollette bandwagon.
In 1905 he was charged, on this score,
with having an understanding with
capitalist parties. 1t was only his
control of the Wisconsin party ma
chine that saved Bergers political
neck and face.
Interesting information on the
strong opposition of the general so
cialist membership to these Berger
Understandings" is afforded by the
following report of the Social Demo
cratic Herald of June 10,1905:
"The State Executive Board also
points to the fact that the National
Committee has not awaited the inves.
tigation Of the State Executive Board
of Wisconsin but has already removed
Comrade Berger from the National
Committee.
"The finding of the State Executive
Board of Wisconsin Ga Berger commit
tee) is as follows:
THAT no collusion or understanding
Of any sort whatever exists, or at any
time existed, between the Social
Democratic Party of Milwaukee or
Comrade Berger and any capitalistic
party, candidate or candidates"
The removal of Berger by the Ma
tional Committee was then submitted
to referendum, the Crestline Refer.
endum. 4,215 voted for the expulsion
of Victor Berger Ais voted against
his expulsion. Wisconsin, where Ber-
ger was in absolute control of the
party machinery cast 975 votes. Ma
tional secretary Mailly then charged
that Wisconsin was not entitled to
cast that many votes, as it was much
behind in dues, and that this alone
saved Berger from being thrown out
by the membership for his having
been in collusion with capitalist par
ties and politicians.
Then, as now, the dominant capi
talist party in Wisconsin was the La
Toilette republican crew.

socialist bureaucracy has forced its
membership to indorse. Let us call
upon the Social Democratic Herald Of

lists once thought of the LaFollette
regime in the Wisconsin Common
wealth. We read:
''The LaFollette legislature has had
the worst record of killing labor bills
of any of its predecessors"
Victor Berger further declared in
the. Milwaukee Free Press of Septem-
ber 1S, 1906: "LaFollette is trying to
do the same thing in the republican
party that Altgeld tried in the demo
cratic, and he will have less success,
because the democratic party had no
principles except to get graft, while
the republican party has well-defnied
principles for capitalism and is proud
of them"
AS late as April 6, 1923 the Milwau-
kee Leader took occasion to attack
the LaFollette machine because it
saved the private detective agencies
of Wisconsin. In its comment on the
failure of the state senate to inter
fere with the private detective agen
cies breaking strikes, Berger's mouth
piece said;
Senator Howard Teasdale, one OF
the LaFolIette senators who swung
over to the lobby for private detective
agencies, opposed the bill Ito regu

Especially significant is the follow

Socialist Party in its national cam

Thus in both the textile and the

workers in Germany are working a
regular week Of more than 81 hours
while more than one-fifth of the metal
workers are working over 54 hours.
The agreements which made possible
this extension of hours generally re-
tanned the 4S-hour week in principle
but permitted the employer to compel
overtime without extra pay. Limit
ing provisions in the agreements are
frequently overridden by the en-
