The prevailing official policy of no
'sectarian attacks on other labor bodies
has been followed by the editor of the
official organ for some time, and SINH
lar attitudes of other editors of the
western organ and the organ of the
marine workers prior to the present
split, has the approval of the men,
bership and the active support of sym
pathizing militants, among whom the
editor may be numbered. But the
formation of definite left wing group
has been rendered difficult by frequent
attacks by the anarchists and many
sympathizers who are friendly to the
Soviet Union and who wish to follow
a constructive policy Of fighting the
employers instead of other labor
bodies, hesitate to assert themselves
and conceal their opinions to avoid
conflict.
Irleo new Spllts
But the anarchist element, who fail
ed to make much headway with the
first split, have tried a new one, es-
pecially in the Marine Transport
Workers, whose convention adopted a
resolution last year for marine work
ers' unity conference. The secretary
elected on that program, a sympathiz-
er with our policy of unity, was GUST
ed by the anarchists who controlled
the union committee. After vacillat-
ing some time, the /. w. w. admins
tration supported the secretary and the
anarchists split the marine union,
withdrawing all they controlled from
the l. w. w.
Our supporters contended against
any withdrawal Of the Marine Trans
port Workers from the l. w. w. We
must not permit a split in the l. w. w.
and our committee and its circle of
supporters must be urged to continue
the struggle against secession.
Forced to Conceal Opinion.
Because members who stand against
splits in the organization have fire.
quently been attacked by the anarch,
lists and some expelled, some of the
sympathetic elements have been fore
eDd into concealing their opinions and
activities, and there are many who
will not come out and fight actively
and openly to check the anarchist
danger. But they do valuable work as
individuals without being organized in
groups. AS the Communists and these
sympathizers increase their influence
they may begin to exercise a controll

with the reception their plea for a

American press. 1t was assumed that
the publicity given the eucharistic

u. S. Labor Must Stand
With Mexican Labor in
Its Anti Church Fight
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

settlement. Let us hope that a basis
of accommodation may be found so
that constructive and satisfactory
program may be agreed upon and
peace and tranquility may be estab-
lished between the contending forces
in Mexico.
/ call to the attention of Green
and his fellow officials the statement
of the Mexican consul in Chicago
that there is peace and tranquility"
In Mexico, to as great an extent as
1t is found, perhaps more, than in
the United States. Perhaps Green
gets his information from the
knights OF Columbus, the catholic
church and the American interven-
ZIONIST press. Then, of course, he
worries about conditions in Mexico
that do not exist, conditions, how
ever, that he must accept as actual
ly existant in order to find basis
for his attack on Mexico's workers.
Mexican labor put the solution of
its religious problems into the con-
stitution of 1917. That was nine
years ago. Green, as vice-president
and later as president of the A. F.
of L., and head of the Pan-American
Federation of Labor, has been close
to the Mexican labor oficialdom
during those years. He did not pro-
test before. Only now does he join
in the protest of the catholic church,
the knight of Columbus and the
moneyed interests dissatisfied with
Mexico's land and oil laws, the lat
ter using the religious issue to cloak
their predatory designs on Mexico's
rich natural resources.
The one fact may be brought to
Green's attention that the present
struggle lays the basis for real and
efficient public school system in
Mexico. The church has built upon
the ignorance Of the Mexican masses.
The catholic church in Mexico, for
$50 years, has had complete charge
of education, and at the end of that
time 80 per cent of the Mexican
people could neither read nor write.
Churches were established instead
of schools. The wealth stolen from
labor was used to enrich the clergy
instead Of to promote education.
During the last three years, how
ever, 5000 public schools have been
established in Mexico on the theory
that education must be secular
lied" 1t must be completely div
orced from the church.
The American Federation of Labor
prides itself on the fact that the
working class forced the develop
ment of the public school system in
this country. Why should it not take
equal pride in aiding public educa-
tion in Mexico?
In order to entrench themselves
for future and greater struggles with
American capitalism, the workers in
the United States must become the
open and avowed allies of Mexican
labor. This will necessitate great
changes in the policies Of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor and the
Pan-American Federation of Labor
But that is the only way to achieve
progress.
Labor must be won for the class
struggle in all countries and zot for
the "class peace" that is a surrender
to the enemies of the working class.
