The launching of. the farmer-labor
party in North Dakota on December
IS was a political Solar plexus blow
to all those who advocate the non
partisan idea in the election cam
paign. When you look thru the lens
Of political wire pulling you can see
the Governor Sorie faction up in the
air, with no solid ground to land on.
This faction consists of a very'few
who are sitting at the governors pie
counter by way Of appointment. They
wanted no rocking of the boat and Of
course were against the launching of
the farmer-labor party; to them, IL
everybody had been good, IL meant
another term for the governor, this
meant two years more for the APP
pointees, a four year stretch for them
at the public trough.
With a mum press and everybody
quiet. the governor might have made
the grade for another term as he is
acceptable to all business, big and
small. Yet on tho other hand. II a
stream Of publicity should be turned

bill of value TO the poor farmers and
wage slaves got by the lower house
1t could not have passed the reaction

do anything in the house where they
had majority has put them on the

eral Inheritance tax. BY their action
they favor putting an annual fund ag.
gregating $3.50 100000 in the purses Of
the idle rich. Eventually this amount
will have to be raised by the So per-
cent poor farmers and wage earners.
With little publicity showing up
these nonpartisan politicians they will
not come back again. The working
farmers and wage labor must control
the farmer-labor party by keeping the
politician in the background.

in that district.
Result of Defeat and Betrayal.
The Alberta miners, betrayed by the
Lewis machine, their wages reduced,
working conditions worsened, spurned
and repudiated by the bureaucracy,
have turned for aid to greater foe,
the generation old idea Of dual union
ism, which has been more responsible
than any other one thing within the
labor movement for its backward con-
dition in this country today.
The miners, misled and betrayed,
must face this question sQuarely and
examine the dual movements of the
past Immediately before this poison
GUS reptile does any more harm than
it has already done, and to this end
we cite the following instances OF
failures of dual unionism:
Well Meant, But an Error.
In 1905 socialists, anarchists, social
list laborites, industrialists and pro-
gressives, amidst blare Of trumpets
gave birth to the union that was to
supplant the entire trade union struc-
ture and to realign the labor move
ment on new revolutionary basis

This organization, supported by and
composed of the most militant men,
)ers of the working class at its birth,
lived, prospered and gained in men,
bership for a time, but today has de-
clined to about 10000 members. It's

gone and is negligible factor as an

Cal Coolidge and LOwden of Illinois
BY H. M. WIcKS.

With the presidential campaign two
years away there will be many as
pirants to succeed Coolidge, and those
individuals now prominent will prob
ably be eliminated in one way or an
other
One of the outstanding contenders
for standard bearer of the republican
party in the 1928 campaign is former
Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois.
Lowden married part of the Pullman
millions and is one OF the industrialist
group He would have been nominated
in 1920 had it not been for the fact
that he was exposed for corrupting
voters in the state of Missouri. Since
that time he has been endeavoring to
create a bond Of interest between the
middle-west industrialists and the
farmers, preparatory to launching a
campaign for nomination for presi-
dent. He probably thinks that his
vote buying is not so reprehensbile as
II seemed in 1920 in view Of the wild
orgies of corruption OF the Harding
ughes-Daugherty- Coolidge outfit.
AS a scab herder and strikebreaker
Lowden could easily qualify as the
successor to Harding and Coolidge.
The Pullman concern from which he
derives his support as the kept man
OF his wife Is notorious as one Of the
most ferocious anti-labor concerns in
the country.
Against the Lowden effort to link
up the farmers with the industrialists,
the revolutionary workers Of the
United States must intensity the drive
10 crlate labor party that will gain
the support of the exploited farmers.
thus iner8irg the two great groups Of
oppressed workers into one gigantic
class party, challenging the govern
ment OF the capitalist class.

"No Splits! No Dual Unionsw Appeal of Progressves

M. w. Of A. They have fought and
sacrificed for the union as few out
side of it can understand. The plains
and hillsides Of this country are
crimson with the blood of men who
died that our union may live Ludlow
and Cabin Creek will never be erased
from the memory of the coal diggers,
and the contemplate leeches who now
are in control of our union-the
Lewises, Farringtons, and Cappellinis
will be fought and defeated within
our union by the combined effort OF
an awakened, outraged opposition.
Organize Progressive Committees.
If we could organize the miners out
side the union to remove our traitors,
we can certainly organize within 1t
more easily. 1t is our duty to organize
within the union at this time for the
Progressive Miners program, and
part of that program must be the
cleaning out of the class collaboration
officials who are fighting the pro-
gressiVe demands of the coal diggers.
SO all together, slaves or the plcks,
organize with the Progressive Miners,
for their program, organize for the
next convention, elect progressives to
fight for our program, for nationaliza-
of the mines, shorter work day and
week, for organization Of the unor-
ganized, for labor party of the work
ing class, and clean out the bureau
crazy.
Down with all secession move
ments!
Down with the splitting!
Down with dual unionism!
Make the U. M. w. of A. the lead
ing fighting section of the working
class in America!
Our motto must be:
"Not the destruction, but the con-
quest of the trade unions"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-07

The new union got nowhere, and
the old ones were weakened and split
by the loss Of many thousands of their
most militant members. Not only that,
but the rising minority opposition
that was crystalizing in the old unions
was wrecked, and the control passed
exclusively into the hands of the re-
dictionaries.
Transport Unions Ruined.
Many other dual union and seces,
sion movements could be mentioned
Such as the A. R. u, and the seces.
sion movement of the switchmen in
1920. During the last two years the
longshoremen and seamen have had
bitter experience with secession move
ments.
Both Of these organizations had
lost big strikes, and both of them
were in need of rebuilding and re-
juvenating by the militant progressive
element, but just at this critical
movement when they were needed
most to strengthen the unions, they
set about to tear them to pieces.
More Unions-Less Unionism.
Five dual unions appeared, and
when they finished fighting the old
unions and fighting each other, nearly
all traces of unionism were wiped
out in many seaports. Similar attacks
are now being directed against the
weakened railroad shopmen's unions
1t is notable fact that generally
the dualists have been Of the revolu-
tionary or progressive type, who, dis.
gusted with the program and tactics
of the bureaucracy in the old unions
have unsuccessfully attempted, by
lack of left wing organization, to turn
the old unions into revolutionary
weapons of the working class.
Despairing of doing so by working
without organization of left

wing, and looking for short cut,
they turned to dual unionism to ac-
complish that end. The result, how
ever, altho unintentional, has been to
further weaken the existing unions
and the progressive element therein,
leaving the bureaucracy more firmly
entrenched.
Must Fight Inside Unions.
Brother miners, your struggle in the
union is the same as the struggle Of
the workers in all the labor unions
thruout America today. 1t is part of
the class struggle. The Lewis ma
chine, like the Berrys, B. and O..
Johnstons, Lees, Greens, Farringtons
and the whole class collaboration out
fit of the A. F. of L., can never be
fought outside the old unions by form
ing new ones.
To withdraw from the old unions
is but to weaken yourselves and to
turn the old unions over exclusively
to the takers. Those amongst you who
are advocating a split in the miners
union are playing into the hands OF
the coal operators and the bureau
cracy.
Good Intentions Not Enough.
Should the misguided few succeed
in splitting away the discontinued ele-
ment in the miners union, the ele-
ment that has been in the vanguard
of the struggle against the bureau
crazy, the element that has fought for
the miners in all the struggles of the
coal diggers, the only real protection
and leadership the coal diggers have,
would but rob the membership of
every vestige of protection and do the
very opposite from what these mil
itants set out to do in the first place
protect the miners from the treachery
of their leaders.
The miners will not give up the U.

and railroad owners, hence the pres

ed with suspicion.
Suspect Motives of congressman.
The bills introduced at Washing
ton by Congressman Dickinson, repuD-
lican. of Iowa, and Senator William
b. Mckinley, republican, of Illinois,
are viewed with suspicion. Both pro-
positions request the government to
regulate the federal reserve banking
system so that the small banks OF
the agricultural regions may OBTAIN
funds to loan to the farmers thereby
enabling them to hold their crops
until they can get favorable prices.
Such methods, as the farmers nave
learned thru experience, VIII not
solve the problem. Already that sys-
EN- has been tried and after hold
ng crops many months on which tne
banks held mortgages obtained by ad-
yancing in many cases less that one
half of the anticipated price, the
mortgages have been foreclosed be-
cause the market price was not sui
ficient to enable the farmers to pay
the banks even tho they sell their
entire crop. Other farmers, thru this
system. have had their crops taken
by the bankers and their farms are
left barren of feed for the live STOCK
with the result that their cattle and
hogs are being sold at almost any
price that will enable them to buy
food and clothing for themselves.
Many farmers are using corn LOT
fuel as they cannot sell their crops
for sufficient to buy coal and other
fuel for the winter
Attempts to shift the blame from
the shoulders of the big profiteers by
irving to fool the farmer into believ-
ing his condition is due to the wages
of workers in the cities no longer
have the effect they used to have and
on every hand the more thoughtful
farmers are talking of Joint political
action with the working class Of the
cities.

DECENT events in the realm Of
~ politics in the United States make
it increasingly difficult for the repub-
lican party press agents to maintain
the fiction that Coolidge is a states
man Of superlative vision and that
massive thoughts roll from his brain
at critical intervals during his long
periods Of silence. While this down
east Yankee remained in seclusion at
the White House and left to the hack
writer's on the republican press the
task Of creating the Coolidge myth
everything went well, but when the
real Coolidge stepped forth and dis
coursed in person upon the problems
confronting the natio0 his insipid
character revealed itself.
At the farm congress in Chicago his
listeners could scarcely conceal their
derision after the first utterances OF
the president. His total incapacity TO
analyze, to say nothing OF solving, the
problems that confront the farmers
exploded the legend that Coolidge was
a great leader or a great politician.
What the farmers Of the corn belt
think OF Coolidge was revealed by the
reaction OF the senators and congress-
men at Washington when they re.
turned after their short holiday vaca-
tions. Staunch supporters OF the presi-
dent discovered that all explanations
regarding the motives OF the president
were futile with the farmers OF the
corn and wheat belt. The principal
occupation Of these farmers during
the winter months is roundly damning
the policy OF the republican admin
istration az Washington. A soiourn
in that atmosphere was sufficient to
cause number Of former Coolidge
supporters to return to Washington
looking for timber to succeed Calvin
Coolidge in 1928.

them aside for the new, and the same
is true of all the other dual unions
formed.
The Collapse Of the w. r. Of NJ.
In 1905, the Western Federation of
Miners joined with the I. W. w. and
remained with them for two years
and then withdrew. The most militant
fighters bitterly opposed the with
drawal, and stayed with the /. w. w.
such fighters as Haywood and St.
John with score Of others.
Because the Western Federation of
Miners refused to stay with the l. w.
W. the dualists set out to destroy it.,
hoping to get its membership in this
manner, and finally reduced it to such
state that when the capitalist forces
made their onslaught, they completely
wrecked the union. Not even the name
of that splendid industrial union is
left today, and nothing was left in its
place of any power or number.
1t is well, tho, thatAwe state, had the
officials of the Western Federation Of
Miners met the onslaught of the cap
italists with a solid front instead of
allowing piece-meal destruction of a
district at a time, the organization
may still have been to the fore.
Or had the militant fighters given
to the miners union the loyalty and
energy that they gave to their new
union, the l. w. W., and stayed within
the federation, the miners union
would still be the pride of the Amer
lean labor movement that it was in
days gone by.
Canadian o. ID. U.
The great movement in Canada in
1918, known as the Canadian One Big
Union, is another classical example of
dual unionism. This organization
steadily grew to 10000 membership
and today has declined to about 1000.
