rise from a steel worker to the relig-
ious instrument of Gary and of god.
1t sums up in the efficacy of hard
prayer.
"The company spotter in the mill re-
ported me years ago to Supt. Oliver"
Maitland related. Il was then water
tender on top Of the 60-foot cooler
and after some lively years 1 had re-
solved to pray an hour every day."
He was reported for praying that hour
on company time. He expected to be
fired but oliver told him instead that
religious men were good assets for the
company and that he could pray as
much as he liked. "Since then have
prayed 1920 hours on company time"
Maitland figured up.
Tells How Prayers Paid.
When the workers were told it
would be good thing to contribute
for loving cup to the safety-irst
director, Maitland was chosen to pres
ent it, which he did with a powerful
prayer. His virtues then made the
officials trot him out before the stock
holders meeting where he again re-
sorted to the device of prayer that
had given him his start. Finally they
got him into the methodist ministry
where he has been keeping the little
steel town church the past 10 years in
spite of the rotation practice of the
denomination.
Il agree with many of your IDEAS"
he told Ward genially in parting, land
| am very much interested in your
work."

talists has become an institution in
the national legal system. In 1919,
Federal Judge Anderson issued an In

and in 1922 the Wilkerson injunction
was granted against the railroad shop
men-beyond question the two most
crushing decisions against labor ever
handed down by the American courts.
Hits All Workers.
HOWEVER, the government, COM
PEELED in the post war period to
reveal in all nakedness and on a ma
tional scale it's capitalist characte1y
has awakened among all sections Of
the working class the desire for
political expression Of its own. All
groups from the most highly skilled
and best paid workers down to the
unorganized and unskilled have felt
the weight of these attacks an have
seen the powers of the government
thrown into battle against them. It
has been made clear finally not only
that platform and election promises of
legislation beneficial to labor are
made simply to be broken but also
that the republican and democratic
government stands ready in every In
stance to use the cossack's club and
the machine gun to prevent the work
ers from even helping themselves.
The answer to all this is plain-just
as on the economic field it would be
suicide for a union to amalgamate
with a manufacturers association, so
is it political suicide for the workers
to remain amalgamated with the cap
italist parties. To break this amalaga-
nation is the next great step forward
and already we have seen powerful
signs in this direction. In 1920 the
Farmer-Labor Party had considerable
strength in the middle west; in 1928
the movement found expression in the
convention of the FEEDER ated Farmer
Labor Party representing well over
half a million industrial and farm
workers, and in the election year of
1924 it again gained power but was
sidetracked temporarily by the sweep
of the middle class La Toilette move
ment.
Hence the standing order of the day
is the organizing of a permanent mass
labor party with it's chief basis in the
unions and including on the federal
principle all economic and political
organizations ready to fight for a pro-
gram based on the immediate needs of
the workers. All groups and sections
of the working class can and must
support the building of such a party
to which the Workers (Communist)
Party, as the revolutionary and most
advanced section. stands prepared not
merely to give it's affiliation but to
throw its full power behind it. On
ward then to the organization of a
mass Labor Party in America-the
next stage in the course of the labor
movement towards its final emancipa-
ton.

"A party development in America
during recent years must realize that
in spite of the fact that only a very
small percentage of the working class
is organized in trade unions, never
theless it is precisely within this
group that the movement takes it's
origin and finds, at the beginning at
least, its strongest support. This gen.
orally understood fact brings its adj
vocates face to face with the task of
gaining widespread support of the
labor party thruout the building trades
which constitute over one half of the
entire organized labor movement.
Such numerical strength makes it
obvious that no movement basing it.
self on trade union support can dis
regard the building trades. On the
other hand, it is clear that every adj
vance of the labor party movement
in this section of the workers, with
its craft divisions, relatively superior
position and generally conservative
character, will be the measure for a
much wider support among other I'M
ions and the working class as O whole.
Let us see therefore what basis for
support of political action Independent

field-in other words, is the problem

the only exception being the Carpen-

sentially the same policy, namely, of
declaring no political stand at all.
The result both to the building
tradesmen and to the workers gen.
orally has been one long record of
political betrayal on the part of the
politicians carried into Office by the
labor vote. For example, in 1924 and
1925 eleven anti-labor court decisions
were rendered in New York City
alone, six of which dealt with the
unions so as to paralyze completely
their power in conducting strikes.
In March, 1925, Federal Judge Knox
issued an injunction against five Of

strikers were denied not only the
rights of boycott and the sympathetic
strike but even could not advise per-
