HyIan's Police and the Unions

Supporting Tammany Hall in return for favors
given their officials has not gained immunity for
the rank and file Of the New York unions from
police persecution
So intolerable has the persecution become, tax
ing the form of dispensing meetings and protecting
scabs. that the Transfers Union delegates were
forced to protest at the last meeting OF the Central
Labor Union.
They wanted action, but the takers gave their
plea q cold reception. 1t was Morris Rosen, a
Communist. who led the fight on the floor of the
Central Labor Union for war police brutality
and il was Lefkowitz, LaF'oletteite, who made
the compromise motion usual in such cases-the
appointment Of committee to interview Mayor
Hylan.

wearing out the carpet in Hylans office is not the
way to do it,
few big meetings, agitation in all the unions,
withdrawal of all support from capitalist parties
mass resistance to the breaking up of union meet
ings, will accomplish the purpose, but the whole
labor movement must be modified for action
Aside from the evidence of the extension of
police powers in the metropolis in the protest of
the Transfers Union, the incident is further proof
that when in real difficulty with the bosses and
their government even the most conservative unions
find their readiest and most able defenders among
the Communists.

The Press Attack.


The Russian Trade Union Congress
had been held from November IL to
IS. The speeches made at that con-
gress by the British delegation-in
line with the formal statements
quoted above-were repeated in the
European and British press, especially
the representative speech of Purcell,
chairman of the delegation. The new
situation created by the cordial rela.
tions built up between the British and
the Russian trade unions was COM
mented on by several of the other
trade union national centers. These
comments, notably those from
Switzerland and Austria, showed a
striking tendency to look favorably
tho with reservations, upon the pro
posals of the British delegation. The
press organs of the Second Interna-
tional, however, took up a very def
mite line, and, as will be seen in the
sequel, by the time the matter came
to be fully discussed two months later
the continental trade union centers
themselves had reiterated from the
tentative positions. they had begun to
take up at the beginning Of Decem
Der. Amongst the Secon Interna-
tional organs the most important in
its attitude was Vorwarts, the Off
cial paper of the German united So
cial-democratic party. Vorwarts de-
clared the report of Purcell's speech,
of which the substance had been
made public in England by the Mos
cow correspondent of the Daily Her
aid, to be a forgery" Immediately
Purcell, in special message from
Moscow, confirmed the authenticity of
the report. Vorwarts, being unre-
pentant, full transcript in both
English and German was dispatched
to that journal. The transcript was
signed by Purcell as proof of its
authenticity. However, vorwarts
contented itself by publishing ex.
tracts from the report, adding that
there must be mistakes in the short
hand.
This was the opening up Of an at
tack on the British delegation which
has continued almost undated ever
since. In this attack vorwarts was

The Paterson Case

The law passed in 1898 was resurrected in Pater-
son, New Jersey, the other day to railroad eight
striking silk workers to prison for pear.
The strikers held meeting that was broken up
by the police number of the strikers were ar
rested and the sentence is the result of the case
date.
If old laws can be found under which workers
can be prosecuted well and good. If they are not
dug up by some enterprising research expert of
the bosses, new ones are passed.
Law is a convenient thing-as long as workers
respect the measures passed in the interests of
those who rob them When they no longer look
upon law an impartial code but as the expression
of the will of the ruling class, as Communists do,
all the laws under the will not save capitalism
and its government.
Fortunately the capitalist class, as in Paterson,
is forced from time to time to give concrete
examples illustrating Communist teaching on the
role Of the state This method is hard on the
victims but it is the way we learn.

British Leaders Urge Trade Union Unity

cialist international was held at Brus
sells. The joint meeting was presided
over by Emile Vandevelde, who deliv.
cred an attack on the British trade
union delegation (not present at the
meeting), and declared that it was
necessary for the joint meeting to
discuss their activities. This discus
sion was, however, postponed. On the
second day Of this joint meeting M
Vandevelde published an article in lie
Peuple Central organ of the Belgian
labor party, in which he said Of the
British delegation:
They saw in Russia what they
hoped and wished to see. Their
hosts, past-masters at this kind Of
game, showed them the "Patiomkin
villages"% Of the Soviet Republic.
Undoubtedly, unable, as they were,
to speak a word of the language,
they had no direct contact with the
people They saw; but they
could neither ask questions nor in
quire. But this does not prevent
them declaring unreservedly that
the 5oIshevist regime has succeed
ed Z
It has been shown, here and else-
wherein the Manchester Guardian,
for instance-that the optimism of
Purcell and 5ramIey is fatty con-
tradicted by the official reports OF
c1,,;oA.
1t will be seen from the section OF
this supplement dealing with the ac-
tual report of the delegation that these
insinuations of NJ Vandevelde are en-.
tirely unwarranted by the facts. The
delegation had their own three inter
prefers with them as advisory dele
gates, men with some skill, and init
mate knowledge of Russia and of the
Russian language; one of them,
George Young, formerly of the diplo
matte service; one of them Captain
Grenfel1, a former. naval attache al
the British embassy at st. Peters
burg; and one Mr.. Mcdonnell, who had
not hitherto been associated with the
labor party, but was actually, until re-
Gently, on the staff of the British for
eign office.
This, however, is by the way. II
will have been made clear from the
citations given that what almost
to an organized campaign
was being carried on in the newspa.
pers, and by the officials of the Second
International This does not apply
on the whole, to the British represen.
tatives, on the Second International.
This campaign was to have its effect
on the subsequent meeting of the
general council of the International
Federation of Trade Unions at Am.
