ity aimed at destroying the labor
party movement then afoot in the
United States. Nor must we forget
that even the LaFollette movement to
which the Gompers' machine formally
pledged some support, was sabotaged
and was stabbed in the back by the
executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor. The Gompers
wrecking crew saw in the LaFollette
campaign a movement of the masses
towards the left, a movement away
from the discredited non-partisan pol

which they publicly proclaimed their

And the United States official CEN
sus figures show that the industrial
proletariat-that is the wage workers
in mining and quarries, building
trades, transportation, manufacturing,
stationary engineers and fremen-
increased from 12,SO0,325 in 1910 to
1850, 486 in 1920 Today, while you
are opposed to a labor party, Mr.
Green, the industrial proletariat is
nearly sixty per cent of the whole
wage-earning class and the wage
earning class is nearly sixty-three per
cent of the total gainfully employed
in the United States.
With a wage-earning class of more
than 26 millions and an industrial
proletariat of more than FIFTEEN and a
half millions, America is far from be-
ing an agricultural country. Under
these conditions the time and mater
ial for labor party are at hand, now,
today, and not in some unknown date
in the distant future.
Mr.. Green Asleep at the Switch
If we were polite, Mr.. Green, we
would say that you are sort
of a Rip Van Wrinkle. You have been
asleep a good many years-in SO far
as the development of an American
working class and the protection of
its interests are concerned. The inn

world war, the Dawes plan, the rise

I'll escaped your observation and UNI
Outstanding, to express it charitably.
These very powerful social forces
with their deep going effects on class
relations in the United States, which
you profess to be ignorant of, Mr..
Green, have for some time been work
ing energetically and against you.
The very fact that you are now
compelled to take one step forward
and tell the world that you are no
longer opposed to a labor party in
principle, Mr.. Green, shows that these
social forces working behind your
back which you have so shamefully
turned on the workers, are driving
you to see the Fastening collapse of
your dastardly policy of reward your
enemies and hang yourself, the break
down of your beloved so-calIed non
partisan policy.
Towards a Labor Party.
Nor, Mr.. Green, will your moving
two steps backwards, by urging the
American workers to believe that the
United States is still in the days of
1870 or earlier and that they should
therefore today reject the idea of
labor party, halt the operation of and
fermentation by these social forces.
Backward or sideward, as you may
move, Mr.. Green, the reasons you
have given the last American Fedora
ton Of Labor convention against
labor party are shoddy, threadbare.
The fabric of your case is full of holes.
Economic and political develop
ments are weaving a new warp and
wool of class relationships in the
United States. America is headed to-
wards labor party, separate and dis
tinct from and opposed to the pol
itical parties of the capitalists. The
American workers are waking up
despite the fact that the Greens, the
Wolls. and other high-priced lieuten-
ants Of capital in the ranks of labor
may be asleep. blind, or bitterly
hostile to this forward movement of
the working class in the United
States.

application of which would set masses
into motion, stir proletarian masses
into action against the bourgeoisie
Usually they are not opposed Sin

tain policy, or a certain principle
Usually they are opposed to its ap-
plication at a particular time. Usual
ly this particular time is always,
whenever the advocacy of the appli-
cation of the particular policy is
made.
Yet, the admission by Mr.. Green
that labor party may come in the
United States, that a labor party may
be of help to the workers in the de-
Tense of their economic and political
interests, or that the American work
ers even have interests of any kind
which differ from the interests of
their exploiters is significant. Espe-
cially are these words meaningful
when they come from the mouth of
a member of the royal family of the
ruling clique in the American trade
union bureaucracy. The writer well re.
calls how he saw the same Mr. Green
sit as a delegate from West Virginia
side by side with the notorious muir
derer of striking workers, Sheriff Don
Chafin, in the last national demo
cratic party convention in New York
City.
For such a gentleman and deserv-
ing democrat, such words are certain
ly blasphemy of the fundamentals of
all that is holy to bourgeois America
But let us examine the reasons Civ
en- by Mr.. Green for a labor party
not being timely at present. In our
examination of these reasons we will
resort to the Investigations and data
prepared by the very capitalist gov
eminent which Mr.. Green so anxious.
ly wants to maintain.
Mr.. Green now tells us that labor
party is undesirable today and he is
opposed to it at present because the
United States is still an agricultural
country. Mr.. Green tells US that a
labor party may be desirable in the
future when the United States be-
comes at least "a semi-industrial
when America ceases to
be an agricultural nation and be-
comes industrialized."
Some Indisputabe Facts.
We will be very frank and blunt
about things with you, Mr.. Green. On
The basis Of the reasons you have CIV
on above, your case against the labor
party doesn't have leg to stand on.
It. won't hold drop Of water. 1t is
'ull of holes. In plain language: You
are off. You don't know what you are
.allxing about, Mr.. President Green of |
he American Federation of Labor.
Here are the facts:
You are asleep as to what has been
in the United States in re-
cent years. America is no longer an |
country. The United |
States is no longer a semi-industrial
country. The United States left this
stage some decades ago.

z
MO one will question the fact that
IN the deadening spirit Of Mr..
Samuel ,Gompers ruled the delibera-
lions and dominated the decisions of
the last. convention of the american
Federation Of Labor. We need but
look at the Endorsement given by the
delegates to the capitalist schemes of
nilitarism, to the vicious anti-Sov-
let Union policy of the Washington
government. Who is there who can
forget the deaf ear turned to the elo-
quent plea of Purcell, the chairman
of the Amsterdam International, for
international trade union unity?
The Labor Party Question.
WET, in one respect, there was a
L new keynote struck at this con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor. This was in reference to
the labor party.
1t is true the resolution for labor
party, was overwhelmingly defeated.
But the utterances of President
Green, in urging the defeat of the Ia
Dor party resolution, are instructive
as well as significant. In every previ-
Gus convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the leaders Of the
Gompers' machine, from Gompers
down, denounced the idea of indepen-
dent working class political action,
the plan for the organization of a
labor party, as absolutely incongruous
with american ideals" and absolute
ly impossible for American workers.
All the piffle and balderdash about
the purity of American capitalist de-
mocracy and about the American
workers being constitutionally unfit
ted to act as a class against their
exploiters were usually played to
death by the loyal henchmen of the
Gompers' clique in their attacks on
the labor party at the previous con-
ventions of the American Federation
of Labor.
"Not Opposed to Labor Party in
Principle.
THIS year, Mr. Green, who sways
L Gompers presidential scepter of
reaction as much as the Grand Old
Man" did in his balmiest days, turned
just wee bit aside from the hackney
ed path of discrediting and rejecting
the idea of a labor party for the
American workers.
Mr.. Gompers used to denounce the
labor party idea in principle. To him
the idea of a labor party developing
in the United States was synonymous
with and the sure forerunner of the
collapse of all the glories of the
American ruling class which he so
Loyalty served. Mr.. Gompers and his
aide-de-camp time and again have ca
tegorieally rejected the idea of Ia
Dor party in principle, forever, abso-
lutely.
This year Mr.. Green did not reject
the labor party idea lin principle" for
the, American workers. Mr.. Gompers'
successor fought the labor party re-
solution as violently as it was ever
fought at convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. But Mr..
Green fought the labor party idea
mainly on the ground that it could not
pay the American workers at this
time. President Green declared that
today labor party could not success
fully defend the interests of the work
ers rasr we'll as the time-dishonored
policy of reward your friends and
punish. your enemies" the so-called
non-partisan political policy of the
American Federation of Labor could.
