Stop the Splitters

The little zone big union Of Canada is trying
to split the miners of Nova Scotia away from the
United Mine Workers of America John l.. Lewis
has been trying to do the same thing for more
than year without success. The miners OF Nova
Scotia know that their battle against the coal
kings and against the traitors at the head OF the
[. NJ w A. cannot he won except in solidarity
with the miners turnout the continent They have
refused, and we hope that they will continue to
refuse to be led off into the blind alley Of seces-
sionism.
But one thing makes the splitting tactics OF the
o. b. Z. in Canada menace to the miners That
thing is their revolutionary phrases. Because the
dualists talk about the class struggle, many honest
aud sincere fighters in the union may be weakened
in their determination to carry the struggle thru.
The siren song of the easy way" of a new union
may sap the strength of some of the tired ones.
There is easy way" to the emancipation of
the working class. There is no escape from the
struggle Dual unionism, the policy of secession,
is retreat It is cowardice. It is surrender.
That is what the o. b. L. is advising. The miners
should repudiate such advice. On with the fight
to degenerate the U. NJ. W. A.!

Laugh at This AIibi

When John Fitzpatrick, president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
ordered the dissolution of his Farm
er-Labor Party" he loudly walled that
there were too many Farmer-Labor
Parties in existence; so many as to
confuse the workers and farmers.
Fitzpatrick did not specify. He
never does. Like LaFollette, writing
for William Randolph Hearst, who is
operating scab shop in getting out
his Seattle, Wash, Post-Intelligencer,
he dealt in the thinnest generalities.
In this respect Fitzpatrick is also

These are the disrupters. These

Rip OFF camoufIaoe.

1t is high time, therefore, that the
camouf1age be ripped Of these self
proclaimed saviours of the city work
ers and poor farmers. 1t is time to
reveal them in their true colors.
Those who split and divide the
workers and farmers, bringing chaos
into the ranks of labor struggling
for its own emancipation, are:
1. The Gompers- Woll-Holland fol-
lowers of Tammany Hall and boosters
for AL Smith in the democratic party.
2. The princely salaried chieftains
of the railroad brotherhoods, who
want to make McAdoo president of
the United States.
8. The bewildered elements in the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action, who first urged a workers
and farmers political party, but are
now running around trying to drum
up sentiment for the anti-Communist,
LaFollette.
4. The Fitzpatrick type, that had
its own Farmer-Labor Party, then
padded for a time with the c. P. P.
A., but has now gone all the way
back to Gompers.
5. The socialists, who still hang
onto the c. P. P. A., because they
can't let go, and if they could they
wouldn't have any place to land be-
cause they just won't join a Farmer
Labor Party that they cannot con-
troll.

LaFoIIette,s Shallow Words.

How shallow and empty sound the
words of Senator LaFollette, who the
other day sought to raise cry
against the national republican con-
vention, recently held at Cleveland,
Ohio, by declaring
1.-THE cry of 'radicalism' and Social
ism can never destroy principles
which are sound, and right, and just.
The people know this"
What a hypocrite this LaFollette
must be to write that only few days
after he had himself denounced the
radical Farmer-Labor Convention,
at st. Paul, at which his own follow
ers had proudly proclaimed that he
never got ahead of his times" that
he always gave the people just what
they wanted
This is the LaFollette who now
boasts that some of the planks he
urged in 1908 and in 1912 have now
been adopted by and are the proud
boasts of both the republicans and
the democrats.
LaFollette's latest declaration ap-
pears in the columns of the Hearst
publications, but offers no prophesy
as to what~may be expected IL or 16
years from now, in 1886 or 1910, when
he and Gompers and the doddering
railroad chiefs are gone.

All Prophets Gone Wrong.

But time has exploded the vacuous
philosophy of these false prophets
The st. Paul June 18th Conference
was living reply to all three of these
calamity howlers-LaFollett Fitz-
patrick, Oneal, representing each in
his way attempted obstruction to the
militancy Of the American workers
and farmers.
LaFollette's fading glory has no
less significance in its going than the
departed influence of the workers
political organizations, championed
by Fitzpatrick and Oneal.

eyes of Americas workers who pro-
test at thus being sold on the political
bargain counter. In the words of
James P. Holland, the Tammany Hall
president of the New York Federation
Of Labor, applicable to both the Nc
Adoo and Smith labor fakirs, altho
he threw them only at the McAdoo
boosters, they represent no one but
themselves"
1t is these Composites, these reac-
tionary railroaders, and all their
retinue, even down to the socialists,
who have been yelling "splitters" and
"disruptionists" against the Commun-
lists. The workers and farmers will
surely see where their interests lie
as they study the brilliant results Of
the st. Paul convention, and then re-
view the haggling in the New York
political slave market, where the
railroaders promise to knife the
Cleveland gathering of the G. P. P.
A., if the Wall Street politicians will
only give them McAdoo.
The treason of LaFollette and the
c. P. P. A., of Fitzpatrick and the So
cialists, has spawned such twin aggre-
cations of traitors as the labor" fol-
lowers of McAdoo and AL Smith. The
result must be new hosts of work
ers and farmers for the United Farm
er-Labor Party organized at st. Paul.
The civil war growing out of the po-
litical activities of labor, is to be
found only in the efforts of treason
able officials to hitch themselves to
the bandwagons of Wall Street,
drawn either by the G.. o. P. elephant
or the democratic jackass. Labor's
political unity is to be found alone in
the growing class party of the massed
city workers and farmers.
The division and discord among the
officials of labor at the New York
democratic convention will be repeat
ed at the July 4th meeting of the Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
ton at Cleveland. 1t will all serve to
more clearly emphasize the complete
unity of the rank and file in the class
party.

period of decadence Of the socialist
party, who loves to mix his arithmetic
with his politics, and dotes upon the
fancied myriads of Communist organ
izations he claims to have discovered
in his literary wanderings.
An Ego Gets JoIted
The weakness in the position adopt
ed by LaFollette, Fitzpatrick and
OneaI is that they arrogate to them
selves all the righteousness there is
in the world. They surely need all
they can get their hands on. LaFol-
lette claims to be the last thing in
radicalism. Anyone more radical than
he, not to mention revolutionary, is
all wrong. He is wildly chagrined to
think that anyone else, especially the
COMMUNISTS, should win an audience.
He thought that whitening blast from
him would wreck the st. Paul Farmer
Labor Convention. But it didn't, and
LaFoIlette's ego has suffered another
well-nigh fatal jolt.
The same with Fitzpatrick. He
thought that his desertion of the
Farmer-Labor United Front would
destroy the whole movement; that all
unity rested with him, that without
him destruction would surely ensue
Oneal and his kind were cast in the
same mould. We were assured that
the revolutionary elements that left
the socialist party, Disguised with its
counter-revolutionary compromises,
would soon exterminate themselves in
internecine strife.
