The Basis for the Continuation Of the Labor Party Policy

this struggle and when we have that
understanding we will be able to mo-
bilize our party for the struggle and
actually make achievements in carry
ing out this policy to build labor
party.
Now as to the resolution itself. We
have laid down in this resolution in
detail the methods which we shall
use for this campaign. We have first
said that we must base it upon the Inn
mediate demands and experiences of
the working class. And comrades
submit that that was always true in
our labor party campaign. know
that l have never written an article
or manifesto for the party or leaf
let for the party that the labor party
policy was not based upon an argu-
ment-the capitalists use injunctions
against you, the capitalists use the
state power against you in strikes, the
capitalists use the state power in leg
islative work against the working
class. These experiences of yours
should teach you that you must or
ganize party of your own, that thru
which you can struggle against this
capitalist state power.
Just as we have done that in the
past, just as we have shown thru the
interference of Harding in the miners,
strike thru the use of the DaughertF
injunction ins the railroad strike, that
these are the reasons why the work.
ers must mobilize their strength poll
tically in labor party, SO locally, so
on state scale, so nationally, we
must use the experiences and demands
Of the workers for their immediate
struggle as an argument pointing to
the labor party as the means of car
rying on the struggle for these de-
mands. The resolution states so.
Our policy is that we shall go into
the local unions to fight there for the
resolutions to put the organization on
record for labor party but we shall
not stop with resolutions. We shall
organize in these unions where we
are able to carry our resolutions,
committees to carry on agitation in
the trade union movement for the la
Dor party. We shall go into the or
CARNATIONS of the G. P. P. A. which
still exist and have support in
the trade union movement and we
shall there carry on the agitation for
labor party and if we are able to
put such organizations on record for
a labor party we shall there form
committees to carry on the agitation
on broad scale and if we succeed in
organizing such committees in the
trade unions and in the c.. P. P. A.
then we shall bring them together to
carry on common agitational cam
paign for labor party.
IVES, we shall also go into non-par-
4 tisan committees which have mass
support from the local unions and
there carry on the campaign for a
labor party. We shall go into the
central labor bodies and there carry
on the agitation thru resolutions and
set up committees where we succeed
in achieveing an endorsement for con-
tinued agitation in the whole trade
union movement of city for the Ia
Dor party thus developing the basic
support in the trade unions, in the

It is only Il we follow both parts
of the labor party policy that we will
make the fullest use of that policy.

workers into the class political ac-

second part is to use the labor party

Speech by comrade c. {. Ruthenber1
on the Labor Party Campaign OF the
WORKERS (communist) Party at the
Fourth Convention Just Adjourned
in Chicago.
COMRADES: This resolution we are
~ now discussing provides the basis
for a continuation Of the labor party
policy. 1t lays down the detailed pol
icy which our party is to follow in
carrying on this campaign. However,
comrades, it is equally important in
relation to this resolution that our
party be modified for this campaign,
that also the party secure funda-
mental understanding of why, in the
United States, at the present time, the
| labor policy must be one Of the chief
policies Of our party, If not the chief
policy of our party. Why is it, COM
rades, that we must carry on this cam.
paign?
1t is not sufficient that the member
ship Of our party agree to the carry
ing on of the campaign; it is equally
necessary that the party be educated
to an understanding of what underlies
the policy and the campaign we are
proposing. 1t was one of the chief
weaknesses of our party in the labor
party campaign in the past that our
party as a whole did not grasp, did
not understand, the reason why we
had such slogan and waged such q
campaign.
T WANT to present as my contribu-
L ton to this part of the discussion
briefly the underlying motives that
make this campaign necessary. In
the United States we know that the
masses of workers have not yet be-
come class conscious. We know that
the masses of workers are still sup
porting the republican and democratic
parties and we know that the masses
of workers have not developed a mass
party Of the workers to fight their bat
ties on the political field. In each of
the European countries we find the
development of capitalism and the
working class has reached the point
that the workers have cut loose from
the capitalist parties they were
sufficiently conscious to form mass
parties thru which they carried on
their struggle. Socialdemocratic par
ties and the labor parties have de-
veloped in European countries. So we
have an entirely distinct situation in
the United States as compared with
the. European capitalist countries and
we. must find means of bridging the
gulf between the working masses who
are still republicans and democrats
and the revolutionary party of the
workers, the Communist Party. It is
the labor party which serves as the
bridge TO that gulf. We may ask our
selves why it is, why is the labor
party the form of organization which
we must advocate, fight for, in order
TO draw the workers out of the old par.
ties and draw them into independent
political action as a class.
WHY the labor party as the means
w of arriving to that goal? What Is
there peculiar to the labor party
which makes it the effective means OF
achieving that end? Comrades. what
we find in the United States today is
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-09-04

that the workers have developed or
gans Of struggle for the immediate de-
mands in the factories. They have or
ganized trade unions; they have Or
ganized these as the means of carry
ing on the struggles Of various sec
lions of the working class against
their employers for better conditions
and better wages. These organs,
however, represent today the means of
fighting the struggles Of various
groups Of the workers The miners
have their union, the needle workers
their union, the railroad workers
their union. They represent not or
gans of struggle in the interests Of
their class, but in the interest Of GER
tain sections Of the working class.
Now, our Communist duty, our funda-
mental Communist aim, must be to de-
velop out of these instruments for
struggle in the interest Of sections Of
the working class, an instrument, a
means for struggle in the interests Of
the workers as a class. In other
words, we must find a unifying slo-
GAM; we must find method Of bring
ing together the workers in the mines,
the workers in the textile industries,
which will give them a common basis
of action, common organ thru which
they struggle against capitalism. We
must find the means Of unifying the
struggles Of groups Of workers into a
struggle of the working class.
That is our central Communist pur-
pose in this stage Of development of
the working class and it is just be-
cause the Labor Party is such unity
ing organ Of struggle that it is the
most effective policy at this stage in
the United States. The Labor Party
will unity tho workers of the machine
shops, in the mines, in the railroads,
in the textile factories in common
struggle for class interest common to
all groups as against the trade unions
which is the organ of struggle for the
interest Of sections of the working
class. And a second reason that the
labor party slogan is so important to
our present situation. We must not
only develop struggle as a class but
we must develop struggle politically
against the capitalist government by
the working class. This is the second
part of the immediate tasks Of the
Communist Party in this country.
First unifying the struggles of the
workers: Secondly, directing the
struggle against the capitalist state
power and the labor party, drawing
the workers into political struggles as
class also drawing them into a
struggle against the capitalist state
power. The labor party therefore
serves effectively to achieve the two
fundamental tasks OF the Communist
Party in the United States at the pres.
ent time and for that reason it is and
must be one of the most important
weapons, the most important policy OF
the Communist Partys in this country
at the present time. asaca

Committee Of Progressive Political
Action. s63rs
That is basically the policy laid
down in this resolution.
We shall use the municipal cleo
tions this year for the propagating of
the labor party idea thru first propos-
ing a united labor ticket, and COM
rades, to- show you that there can be
achievements / cite the fact that in
Lima, Ohio, where the central labor
council adopted a resolution after
their experiences with the LaFollette
movement to keep out of all politics
for the future, we had an active mem
Der Of our party, Scott Williams by
name, who in spite of this resolution
of the central labor council expressing
the disgust Of that body and its ex-
periences in the last election, went
into the local unions to carry on agi-
tation, secured endorsement and got
the endorsement of the central labor
body for labor party for which a
committee was formed. The commit
tee nominated candidates in the city
election and succeeded in nominating
two Of them in the final city election
showing that it is possible today to
secure results for our labor party
policy.
NATURALLY we must not get the
~ notion, comrades, from the use
of the election campaigns for agitation
for the labor party that the labor
party is merely machinery for enter
ing into election campaigns. That
comrades, would be wrong concep-
ton of the labor party. Not only for
election campaigns but for other
struggles Of the working class for
parliamentary action, yes, but also for
political action outside of the election
campaigns, must the labor panty be
an instrument for work amcng the
masses Of this country.
Our resolution goes farther, lays
down our relationship to the existing
farmer-labor parties on the basis Of
the c. l. decision. 1t declares that
we shall remain in the existing farm
er-labor parties. We shall work to
build up a labor bloc and form the
labor party and make a united front
with the. organizations of the farmers
in bloc form of some character and
further than that, the resolution also
teaches another phase which is of the
utmost Importance and that is the
role of our party in the labor party.
We have made errors in that respect
in the, past.TygYou remember how in
April-MayA of dast year we had certain
opportunistice Developments in Detroit.
We had certain comrades in Minneso-
ia who hadsa wrong policy, the wrong
tactics ip0 that respect and it is vital
that our party at the same time that
it reorientates itself to an understand
ing of the, slabor party policy also has
clear conception of the role of the
Workers sRaEty in such labor party.
ME declare, that wherever a labor
party.g organization exists we
shall enteFrinto it. We shall affiliate
with ito We shall participate in its
work. We declare that where such a
labor party enter into the election
campaigns We shall nominate Com
munist candidates on the labor party

There is greater need of the science of chiropractic in Wyo,
ming than legislators generally admit. The third house, the
abused taxpayer and that last of all of the unfortunatcs, the
ultimate consumer, all agree that chiroprachc applied to mem
beers is possibly what they need most of all. The lack of proper
backbone adjustment crops out in legislative action or inaction
so frequently that it is remarked by children in the streets.
And as for intestines-it is a wholly absent quality in the do
nestle economy of latter day Wyoming statesmen.

Here we are, with a law enforcement department convicted
of every sin of commission and omission in the calendar, with
its record of shame laid bare to the suffering taxpayers and
the high minded Christian cihzcnry of the state, nauscating
enough to drive a starving dog from a garbage wagon and no
statesman, with either sufficient backbone or intestines to
rise in his place and in the name of common decency demand
that this foul smelling department be removed from the activ-
tiles of the state, supported by the taxmoney of the people.
1t is a crime TO permit this department to longer exist. 1t
is a shame to take money from the people to be wasted In the
riotous living of it's agents and stool pigeons, its pimps and
gamblers.
1t is a sad day for Wyoming that this department is spared
to exist. 1t is an even sadder day that its history is written into
the records for future generations to read and ponder. 1t is
still a sadder day that the servants of the people, assembled to
the face of the facts regarding this unworthy and unrght-
