Class Lines
Apparent.
CERTAINLY there is nothing more
~ striking about the present conflict
in Mexico than the sharpness of class
lines. The outstanding supporters of
the clergy are invariably drawn from
the ruling class in society. The lead
ers of the so-called League for the
Defense of Religious Tolerance" are
aristocrats. Read over your paper at
random until you come across one of
the stories of popular violence" on
behalf of the church. 1t is always "a
young girl belonging to one of the
best families in Mexico City arrested
for throwing stones at a government
official" or "a group of wealthy
students attempting to start. a disturb
ance
On the other hand, the anti-catholic
supporters are in their overwhelming
majority workers, peasants and pet
ty-bourgeoisie. The labor unions are of
especial strategic Importance, and rs
per cent of the Mexican proletariat is
organized in labor unions. Except for
isolated exceptions, notably the cath
Ollie unions, Of course, these are pre-
dominantly anti-clerical.
THE powerful Regional Confedera-
4 ton of Labor is solidly behind the
government. In answer to the query
as to whether or not the rank and file
Of the confederation accepts this
stand, one has only to point to the
parade of 100000 in Mexico City. The
c. R. o. NJ, thru its general secretary,
announces to union workers that if
any commercial or industrial estab-
lishment supports the economic boy
colt, the confederation will take the
necessary steps to control the estab-
lishment until the owners or managers
cease supporting It,"
The correspondent OF the New York
Times raises frail doubts as TO the
strength OF the C. r. o. NJ. Another
group known as the United Workers"
he writes. "has control Of the majority
of the (cotton) mill workers in the re-
public" This is true, but no matter.
The opposition group (which by the
way is not known as the United
Workers" but as the General Con-
federation of Labor") is anarchist in
theology and at least quite as OPP
posed to the catholics as the c. r. o.
M. is.
Independent unions, such as 1.-THE
electricians, oil workers, ETC., take as
determined stand.
Only in the case of the railroad
workers has there been any serious
doubt. Gales, true revolutionary ma.
tlonalist but always the petty.bour-
yeois. has committed grave crimes
against the railwaymen. Their lead
ers supported de la Huerta in 1924.

! The May Day celebration was the most
successful ever held locally.
Some of the first worker correspond
ents of The DAILY WORKER sent in
their articles from East Pittsburgh.
The printed word, as a method of
reaching the workers, is in favor here
The local agitators and propagandists
know its value. They make use of it.
That is why the example they have
set is worth following.
1t was into this rich environment,
rich in opportunities for building the
power of the working class, that John
Kasper came on from New York.
There are a thousand other localities
in this country equally rich in pos
sibilities. Kasper would have served
equally well in any one of them. But
he could serve in only one. It hap
pened to be East Pittsburgh. The Of
fetal report of the subscription cam
paign results declared:
THE one great Performance of the
whole campaign, in all the districts,
has been the record Of John Kasper
Of East, Pittsburgh. He got busy late
in the campaign to get subs But by
his OWN EFFORT, this Builder Sc
cured nearly FOUR TIMES the quota
Of his own city, getting 593 per cent
with a total of 1896 points (Which
means SO yearly subscriptions, or
their equivalent in shorter term

''The banner from the Communist
Party Of Moscow, honor emblem to the
city winning the greatest achievement
of the campaign goes to East Pitts
burgh and John Kasper. His record
gives East Pittsburgh a lead of nearly
300 per cent better than its nearest
competitor, Miami. Florida"
The accomplishment of John Kasper
can be viewed in another way. Thru
his efforts East Pittsburgh was able
to score more points than the whole
city of Cleveland, Toledo, Buffalo,
Kansas City, st. Louis, Milwaukee, St.
Paul or even PHILADELPHIA. This
was pointed out in yesterdays article.
1t is repeated here again today. It
cannot be repeated too often.
Kasper didn't find his job easy.
Many of his letters came in post
marked, one, two and three o'clock
in the morning. We venture here the
declaration that Kasper never met

Some may ask what this has to do
with the editorial side of The DAILY

leadership is now totally changed,
Gales has seized this single fact as
an excuse for launching attack after
attack against the railway unions.
When the clerical conflict burst into
fame he was engaged in crushing a
strike on the Tehuantepec railroad
and general strike on all lines was
threatened because OF HIS attitude.
1t is to be hoped that the present
crisis will make him realize that he
cannot play with the labor move
ment in this fashion. If he adopts
different attitude toward the rail-
road workers there is little reason
to doubt that they will stand with
the rest Of the working class against
Catholic reaction.
No such qualification is needed to
indicate the alignment of the Com
munist Party. Government persecu-
ton will never keep the Communists
from taking a militant part in the
anti-clerical struggle.
The Peasants.
A MONG the peasants the situa-
"A ton is not the same as among
the city workers. The peasants con-
stitute the chief basis of popular
Catholic support. Nevertheless, they
have fought theoretically against
the reactionary-cler alliance dn
past revolutions. And in the north
ern and coastal states the majority
of them have broken away from in
fiuence of the Church entirely.
Organizations like the League Of
Agrarian Communities of the State
of Vera Cruz" can be counted de-
fnitely with the anti-clerical forces.
AS to the "Partido Agrariata," that
is different mater. The correspon-
dent of the Times reports that Soto
Cana and the rest are taking a
stand against the government, but
even If this should be true It is diff
ficult to believe that the "agraris-
tas" can maintain their forces in
tact.
That religious" struggle In Mex
leo is being waged upon class lines
is obvious in every particular OF the
situation. There is nothing acct
dental about this. 1t is merely an
indication of the fact that the fight
against the Church is a phase Of the
fight against the other enemies of the
Mexican masses.
