and how many workers would have
bettered their conditions. But it is
easier to fight Communist influence
than to fight the bosses. 1i
OR, take the socialist party. They
~ lost their few teeth long ago, but
they are still barking even tho they
cannot bite, and they are barking not
at capitalism but at the Workers
(Communist) Party. Day in and day
out, the yellow Forward prints sensa-
tional documents proving that the ter
ribe Communists have organized a
shop nucleus, that the terrible Com
munists have organized a meeting,
that the terrible Communists have
spoken to workers, that they are 'in!
terfering" in the unions; just as IL we
were hiding from them and as il we
were ashamed of our activities on be-
half of the workers. This work is
our pride. If we could not help the
workers in the shops, mines and un-
ions, we would be as superfiuous as
the yellow socialists are to this earth.
The united trinity of socialists, A.
F. of l.. bureaucracy and the CAPT.
talist government are struggling
against the Communists because they
have opened the eyes of the workers
politically and economically. The
result of Communist work is seen
in the rebuilding of the needle trades
unions and the new fighting spirit de-
veloping within them. This is a good
example of what can be done and
the work has only started. If there

HiIIman Glass Collaboration.
WE wish to point out that the
w present situation confronting the

national Tailoring Co. strike brings
policies that have been persued by
the Hillman administration in the
Amalgamated. The policy of class
collaboration consistently followed
by the Hillman administration has
weakened the organization and
strengthened the manufacturers. The
Amalgamated has in the last few
years failed to maintain conditions
for the workers because it has
abandoned completely the idea of mill
tant rank and file struggles against
the manufactures for better working
conditions. The Hillman machine of
the Amalgamated is conducting wag
against the rank and file represented
by the left wing.
A Militant Left Wing.
In the face of the offensive by the
manufacturers the Hillman admins
tration persists in carrying on this
war with the result that the organiza.

cannot give up its struggle to get

the way Of the workers controlling the

INSOLENT ACTION
STIRS WRATH OF
N. Y. WORKERS
BY ELIAS NAPLES
Especial to The Daily workerl

The dismay Of the first moment
over the barring Of Benjamin Gitlow
from the ballot has given way to wide
spread indignation among the work
ers of New York City. The insolent
action of the election board in barring
the candidacy of Gitlow, Workers
Party candidate for mayor in the
coming municipal elections when the
requisite number of signatures had
been secured on the petitions, and all
the formalities had been complied
with, knows no parallel anywhere. Il
has happened before that Communist
candidates who have been elected
have been unseated, but the barring
of a candidate from the ballot Is
practically unheard of. 1t is an In
suit to the workers Of the great me-
tropolis, it is proof once more that
the workers have no rights, that their
socalled rights are trampled upon at
will by the capitalists and the capital.
list government
The reason given for this action is
that Gitlow is felon, because he has
been in Jail. This is the way they
are trying to cover up their action.
One who has given a lifetime to fight
ing in the cause Of the working class
is classed with any common criminal
and treated as one. The real reason
for this measure is that Gitlow is
hated because he carries the message
of Communism, because there is dan
ger that he may enlighten the work
ers and snatch them out Of the hands
Of willy capitalist politicians and labor
takers who are now leading them.
Many Protest Meetings
Meeting after meeting of protest Is
being held following the startling
news. The socialist party which pre-
tends to fight for the constitution and
the rights of workers is silent as it
is always silent when oppressive mea.
sures are taken by the capitalist gov
eminent against the workers. But
the workers themselves are not silent,
and many who up to now have follow
ed the socialist party are disguised
with the betrayers and are pledging
their support to the Workers Party.

up. The mere resolution was not
enuf. This was the most important
issue of the convention. 1t, is on this
question, the fat-bellied lackeys con-
centrated their minds and hearts"
THE damnable Communists are inter-
fering in their graft and crookedness,
fighting their corrupt leadership and
leading the workers towards militant
struggles for their interests. Help!

Or, again, let US take the Amalga-
mated. 1t doesn't belong to the'A. F.
of L. For a while they tried, their
damnedest to win the favor Of the
Communists but as soon as the Com
munists let them know that in the
Amalgamated there is also something
rotten, then the Hillmans and the
Schlossbergs joined the jazz band
that makes the noise against Com
munism. Then they said, "You can
talk about Communism, but don't try
to touch the union for itois our own
private property"
Or, let us take the international
Ladies' Garment oWrkers' Union
where the yellows and the blacks com
bined together in common crusade
to tear the roots of Communism out
Of the hearts of the working masses.

THE International strike demon
4 strates that the building up of a
powerful organization that can eff
fectively fight against the encroach-
ments of the bosses and for the bet
terment Of the conditions of the work
ers can only come when the rank and
file adopts and supports the policies
and program of the left wing. The
left wing has the only policy by which
to effectively fight injunctions and
that is by mass violation, picketing
the shops in defiance Of the injunc-
ton.

riends of labor capitalist politicians
If the republican and democratic
PARTIES. It is a warning to all work
ars that the workers as a class must
unity their power on the political
field against the capitalist politicians
thru the organization of labor party.
Only by the workers carrying on an
Independent political fight for power
against the capitalist parties can the
workers hope to end government by
injunction.
Defy Injunction.
ITO recognize such an injunction as
4 that issued to the international
Tailoring Co. is to give up without
a struggle those conditions which
the workers have made valiant
struggles to obtain. The workers
must picket the International Tailor
ing Co. en- masse. They must de-
monstrate to the whole capitalist
class that they will not tolerate gov
eminent by injunction and that they
will defy every injunction issued to
defeat the workers in their struggle
for more human conditions
If the officials in the Amalgamated
are not prepared to make such a
militant fight of the rank and file
against the Injunction then the left
wing in the Amalgamated must make
such a fight. In a militant defiance
by the strikers of the Churchill injunc-
ton, the workers will get full support
and assistance of the Workers (Com-
munisD Party because the Workers
(Communist) Party is the party of
workers and fully realizes the me-
mace of Judge Churchill's order
against the workers.
Preserve Union!
The strike Of the Amalgamated
against the International Tailoring
Co. is strike to preserve the union.
This strike must receive the full
support Of all workers. The Com
munists and the left wing in the
labor movement do not look upon
this strike as thing separate from
the struggle of all the workers in the
United States against the open shop.
The Communists and the left wing
will do everything in their power to

of labor" and the capitalist political
parties and that is by building a
mighty labor party consisting of work
ers' organizations.
The left wing has the only policy
Of how to effectively fight to improve
the workers conditions and that is
by rank an dfile mass struggles, by
general strikes of amalgamated indus
trial unions against the bosses.
The Communists support the efforts
of the left wing in the needle trades
and all other unions. The Workers
Party supports the fight of the left
wing particularly in the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union, to make it
real militant fighting organization of
the rank and file.

THE workers who want to measure
4 the might and influence that the
Workers Party has developed in the
working masses can measure it. in
terms of the abuse hurled at the
Communists by the government, the
leaders OF ,the American Federation
Of Labor, yellow socialists, etc.
These three forces, united in their
battle against Communism, know very
well that politically America is still
safe from. the rebels. The corrupt ma
chine will not let Comrades Foster
and Gitlow into the White House SO
easily BECAUSE of a mere matter of
votes. Their whole fright is caused
by the economic situation. 1t is this
that makes them realize that their end
is coming.
The Workers Party, consisting of
workers, ehas felt the need and suffer.
ing of the working masses and plant
ing itself in the hearts of the toilers
in shop. and mine is finding a solu.
ton for their problems. This is why
the government and it's lackeys are
getting SO panicky that they have
started attacks against the Commun,
lists.
TAKE for instance the A. F. of L.
convention. When it came to the
important workers problems such as
unemployment, injunctions, child la
Dor, reduction Of wages, ETC., these
were forgotten or treated in fake
resolutions. But when the Commun
