As a huge cannon IA feet in height,

able of throwing IA inch projectiles

being transported to the Pacific coast
to be used as part OF the coast de-

The gun which is the latest and

exhibited for days at a time with milit-
airy officers on hand to give 1907"

Special crews are sent ahead of the

derpaid British seamen and has sabot-
aged every attempt Of the rank and
file to better their conditions.
The seamen recently took matters
in their own hands and called strike
which tied up shipping turnout the
ports of the empire. The strike was
unofficial" but it received the sup
port of every honest section Of the
British labor movement.
HAVELOCK WILSON, on the other
IL hand, went so far as to issue
handbills calling George Hardy, one Of
the leaders of the strike and a form
err member of the !. w. W., who serv-

loyalty to his class during the war,
"a German spy" Wilson also cooper

strike.
Enter the A. f. of L.
A resolution, Of which the follow
ing are the important sections was
introduced and passed at Atlantic
City:
WHEREAS, The real purpose Of
these so-called radicals is to sabo-
taee transportation by sea and to
turn the seamen into carriers of
such revolutionary propaganda as
cannot be sent thru the mails, and
WHEREAS, The officers and
members Of the National Sailors
and Firemen's Union Of Great Brit
ain and ireland, the legitimate trade
union of British seamen, are now
successfully opposing the same sort
of an attack from persons masquer-
aiding as radicals under much the
same leadership as conducted the
attack upon the international Sea-

therefore be IL

itself as opposed to aggression

country in the world for those ele.

There is no other alternative for
them once they reject the class strug-
gle. To the apostles of class collabo-
ration like Green the interests Of the
capitalist state are more important
than those of the working class on
whose backs it rests.
"A S capitalism has developed into
4 Imperialism, and as Imperialism
imposes ever heavier burdens upon
the workers, it becomes harder for
such demands as the left wing puts
forward to be opposed on their merits.
This, coupled with the genuine fear
of Communist activity, Communist in.
fiuence among the masses and Of Com
munism itself, dictates such state.
ments as the following made by Green
in reply to left wing demand for unity
with the British and Russian workers
against world Imperialism:
The Trade Union Educational
League here in America, which is
the creature of the Communist
Party, controlled and directed by a
man who at one time was active in
the trades union movement, frankly
announces that its policy is to bore
within the labor movement, to des-
troy 1t and substitute for our philo-
sophy, the philosophy Of commun-
ism. We are not ready to accept
that, and we wish that our friend
who has so kindly advised US and
has offered US such frank suggest
ions might take back to the Russian
Red InternationaIe this message,
that the American labor movement
will not affiliate with an organiza-
ton that breaches that doctrine or
stands for that philosophy.
THE convention minutes state that

and vigorously applauded the state.
ment of President Green"
No left winger nor any Communist
need be alarmed by such a demonstra.
ton. The delegates to an A. f. of L.
convention are less representative of
the membership than even the most
pessimistic radical thinks but there
is much evidence that even these la.
Dor leaders with the salaries of bank,
ers can be moved by pressure from
below as we shall see later.
Green's speech in reply to- Purcell
and the resolution adopted on world
trade union unity was, as we have
seen, in essence a sneering denuncia.

ments of other countries to influence
American labor.
RUT the A. F. of L. has no scruples
- when it comes to interfering in

reaction.
1t is well-known to every worker
who is at all informed on the British
labor movement that the Seamen,s
Union in that country is headed by
the constituencies reactionary Have

fused to lead the struggle of the nm.

TT will be noticed that Green be-
came somewhat incoherent in the
last sentence quoted. Even he doubt
less agrees that revolution is the
only way the dictatorship of the pro.
letariat can. be establish and OUR
republic overthrow" vi
But this is beside the point. The
phrases emphasized constitute com.
plete Justification of the Communist
position on the daily struggles of
workers and are typical of the cutie
fish methods by which the labor
agents of Imperialism cover up their
betrayals, and the real basis of Com
munist opposition to them, by an inky
cloud.
NHE Communists who take part in
= the left wing struggle in the trade
unions say precisely that the proof
of the anti-labor character of the trade
union officials is shown by the fact
that they even do not fight honestly
and militantlys for such immediate de-
mands as higher wages, shorter hours
and better working conditions. Com
munists do not hold that collective
bargaining" is a betrayal of the work
ers but they say that it cannot be
substituted for the collective class
struggle without the labor movement
degenerating into a mere agency for
class collaboration.
THESE questions become easily nm.
= derstandable if we begin by ask
ing:
Where is the labor movement head
ed for?
Is it, as Green would have us be-
lieve, movement concerned solely
with salving over some of the more
hideous ulcers of capitalism or is if
basic organ of struggle for the
whole working class against capital
ism?
The answer is found in the fact that
in the present imperialistic period the
demands of the workers for higher
wages, shorter hours and better work.

crises during which the workers must
choose between program of conflict

NOT ALL HAPPY
IN LEAGUE SAYS
BRAZIL AGENT
Why Keep Seat Open for
u. S. Only?

PARIS, Nov. S--Not all is har-
mony in the league Of (capitalist) ma
tions, in spite Of all the peace talk
at Locarno and since. This fact Is
expressed in the demand inherent in
the so-called study" of the Brazilian
representative on the league, DR.. Mel
10 Franco, concerning how the league
is related to the Americas.
DR.. Franco rejects the idea that If
trouble such as war comes between
South American states, that the
league has any business there. Set
Ting such affairs, he says, Would
be fulfilled by other Latin-American
states without calling in European
and Asiatic forces.
1T is to the interest of Latin-Amer-
lea that the United States shall some
day occupy the chair at the council
table left vacant for her." says the
doctor, ambiguously leaving the read
er to infer that the doctor implies
that he thinks the league will re-
strain the U. S. from further gobbling
of Latin-America.
Dr. Franco proceeds to say that
"altho 10 Latin-American countries
are members Of the league, they have
not even one permanent seat on the
council, altho Europe, with 26 coun-
tries, has three such seats" He adds
that the "only permanent seat reserv-
ed for the American continent is that
held open for the United States"
Then he winds up with the parting
! shot that while Locarno's peace
pact" was important, so was the
Pan-American security pact" signed
at Santiago.

HILLCREST MILL
STRIKERS BUILD
MILL COMMITTEE
Have Five Demands to
Fight For
BY ALBERT WEIssoRn

PASSAIC, N. j., Nov. 3.-The work.
ers who have called a strike against
the owners of the Hillcrest SILK Mil
are fighting for the following de
mands:
!. The same two loom and price
conditions as before.
2. 10 per cent increase over the
day rate for all night workers.
3. No more than two shifts in
the mill.
q. One quarter cent more per
yard for every two picks more than
torty-six per inch.
5. Recognition of the mill work
ers committee.
Acting upon the suggestion of AL.
bert Weisbard, secretary of the united
front committee of textile workers,
the workers decided to organize them
selves permanently into Hillcrest
Silk Mill Workers Council.
All of the strikers greatly feel thu
need of organization and they are de
termined to strive to bring about one
union In the textile industry rather
than allow the present unorganized
and chaotic state of affairs to con.
tinue to exist.
They are behind the united front
committee of textile workers in the
slogans of: Amalgamate all textile
unions into one union in the textile
industry, organize the unorganized
establish real workers mill commit.
tees with power.
All efforts will be made to extend
the united front in Hudson county and
all textile workers organizations will
be invited to attend the united from
committee meetings and help carry
on the work.

crat who will try to destroy the milit-
ancy of the Chinese labor movement
as was the case in Mexico. The labor
agents of American Imperialism long
to get busy in China where the Red
International of Labor Unions re-
ceives the allegiance of the rapidly
growing Chinese unions.
This somewhat lengthy examination
of the differences between words and
action of the A. F. Of L. oficialdom
furnishes us with good picture Of
the manner in which A. F. of l..
policy towards the left program par
allels that of Wall Street. Even its
formal support of workers Of other ma
tions, as in the case of the Chinese, is
predicated on a desire to prevent the
rise of class consciousness.
THE left wing movement in the A.
= f. of l.. is built around the Trade
Union Educational League. The league
includes all elements that want and
are willing to work and fight for a
militant trade union movement and
who repudiate in its entirety the class
collaboration policy of the A. F. of L.
leadership.
The I. U. e. L. has as the central
demands Of its program, amalgamation
OF the craft and ocGlpational union
into industrial unions, labor party
based on the trade unions, recognition
OF the Union of Soviet Republics and
world trade union unity. These are
elementary demands. No trade union
movement which consciously perpetu-
ates and encourages craft divisions
can combat effectively the giant in
I dustrial corporations which dominate
American economic life.
No trade union movement which
oscillates between one or the other
parties of capitalism can wage an ef-
fective struggle against the central
lied government which is the state
power of the great industrialists and
hnanciers. The trade unions. includ-
ing the organized and therefore most
decisive sections of the workers. must
have political party of their own
ldpor party World trade union unity
and Russian recognition have been
dealt with in previous articles.
'HE two propositions stated above
have long been accepted by the
trade union movements of every other
capitalist nation.
AT Atlantic City they are dismissed
with the statement that they express
only the Communist attempts TO "dis.
rupt the trade unions
Said President Green:
We know that here in America
that influence emanatinq from
Moscow is seeking, as it has always
sought, not to cooperate with us but
to capture and control US. They are
frank in their declarations, they call
the officers and the representatives
OF the American Federation of La.
Dor takers, crooks and scabs." They
declare frankly that they do not
believe in collective BARGAINING:

October 26th, the organization de-
partment received a report on the
constructive activities of Comrade
Jakira, reading, in part, as follows:
"This is to inform you that a men,
bership meeting of the party was held
yesterday in McKeesport. Thirty-six
members were present and registered.
Committees were appointed to visit
the absent members so that the regis
tration may be completed within the
next ten days.
I'VE are now classifying both Pitts
burgh and McKeesport registration
blanks and we expect to have about
eight or ten nuclei formed this week.
The reorganization committee will
meet tonight and take final action on
the matter The meeting in McKees-
port was very enthusiastic, lasted
over three hours, and was considered
one Of the best held so far in that
! city.
I'VE also participated actively in
helping to form a defense organiza-
ton. $50 was contributed to the dis
trict office and the city financial Sec
rotary informed the meeting that they
sent $50 to The DAILY WORKER
after he had received a wire from
Chicago The action, of course, was
approved, and further efforts will be
made to help The DAILY WORKER.
A city DAILY WORKER agent, as
well as branch agents. were appointed
at the meeting so that this work will
be carried on more successfully than
before. Also many other decisions
were adopted, and it will lead to the
revival of the organization in that city
which was practically dead until now"

TWO ARTICLEs-PART l.

TWO ARTICLES--PART |.
OPPOSITION to the program of the
" left wing of the labor movement
masked itself in Atlantic City as OPP
position to Communists and Commun-
ism. In Atlantic City the officialdom
followed the tactics of the capitalist
propagandists in not discussing such
basic demand as world trade union
unity on it's merits but simply announ-
ced that it was a Communist plot
with the aim of Capturing" the Am
erican trade union movement.
The speech of Green in reply to
Purcell is a masterpiece of jesuitical
evasion of fundamentals altho Green
is baptist and ideologically, at least,
a klansman.
Green protested that the A. F. of L.
had never been unmindful Of situa-
tons thruout the entire world"
"our sympathies," he said, go out
to the working people of India, Of
China, Of Asia, of Africa, of Europe,
in every remote section of the
EARTH"
He cited the protest of the A. F. of
L. made to Pres. Coolidge against
the inhuman treatment accorded Chin
csc working men and women" as an
example of the manner in which the
A. f. of L. oficialdom dispenses the
milk of human kindness.
THE report of the executive council
4 on this point, however, is some
what franker than the speech of
Green. On Page 76 of this document
we are given a delightful peek into
the motives which prompted the pro-
test to Coolidge. After a more or
less accurate description Of the Chin
csc situation the following sentence
occurs:
Approaching that the SlTUA-
TON WAS OF THAT NATURE
WHICH COULD BE UTILIZED BY
RADICAL PRoPAGANDISTS IF
CONSTRUCTION AND HUMANIT-
ARIAN ORGANIZATIONS DID
NOT OFFER A HELPING HAND,
President Green addressed the -.
letter to President Coolidge. (Em-
phasis Mine-W. r. D.
THE letter itself is too long to quote
= here but as a whole it conforms
to the policy of American imperial
ism in China-the open door" It
makes but two requests:
ID That the United States gov
eminent take the initiative in calling
a conference which will make plans
ito abolish extra-territorial rights in
China"
(2) That representatives of wage
earners" take part in the conference.
American Imperialism desires the
abolition of extra-territorial rights in
China. 1t is its principal weapon
against Britain, France. and Japan.
The labor representation" clause
merely means that Coolidge is asked
to appoint some A. F. of L. bureau
