ARTICLE IL.
BY WILLIAM r. dunno.

VKTH have seen that in Great Britain
w and America the struggles OF the
workingclass were more bitter during
the development of centralized indus
try when great changes were taking
place in the workingclass itself as
we'll as in the middle class and in the
organization of industry.
Engels, writing to Serge in 1892,
speaks Of this phenomenon:
Also here In Great Britain the
class struggles were moro VIrulent
during THE PERIOD OF THE
DEVELOPMENT OF BIG INDUS
TRY and died down during the
period Of Great BrtaIn's undlsputed
Industrial world domination
Il Is precisely the reVolutlonlxatlon
Of tlme-honored conditions thru the
development Of Industry which rev.
olutlonIzes peoples brains.
TNHN United States, in spite OF IT.

undIsputed hegemony OF the world
markets. Il is preparing to battle FOL
such a position and it Is this prepare
ton which is placing new burdens OF
the workingclass las well as lower

with the magic title OF "super-power"
The rise of industry in the south
(iron and steel, chemicals, coal and
textiles) with no organization what
ever among the low-paid workers,
brings backward southern labor into
direct competition with the higher
paid workers of the north without any
necessity for migration taking place.
THE reserve Of natural resources is

with new care and the expansion
which is taking place is much different
from the old oare-free manner in
which the early American buccaneers
Of industry exploited these rich fields

IL Of the day, speed-up devices are
introduced in all industries and the
burdens on the workers consequently
Increased.
The standard Of living Of the Amer

restriction OF immigration doubles:

The purchase Of automobiles By

They are bought on the installmen

is easily seen that the purchase o

ONLY capitalist class occupying
~ superior position In the world mar
kets could finance such immense out
lays as the credit buying system en-
tails and 1t will be financed only so
long, as American capitalism can easily
accumulate this surplus. In esseNce
they are artificial devices to keep the
workingclass satisfied and have moth
ing in common with the basic process
ses of capitalist distribution. They
will be wrecked by increasing compe-
tition in the world markets.
THE weakness Of trade union organ
ization and the lock Of class-con-
sciousness Of the American working
lass are the greatest source of
3trength for American capitalism. It
is at these two points that the task
If the Communists and the left wing
assumes major Importance.
We have already noted the funda-
mental weakness Of the trade union
leadership and of the trade union
movement as a whole-the acceptance
of the capitalist system as the Alpha
and Omego of social systems. 1t is
thus unable to lead the American
workingclass In this period except in
the main direction in which the cap
| italists want It to go.
THE basic task Of our party in q
i period when centralized capitalist
government appears on the side of the
master class In every struggle which
they have with the workingclass has
been indicated by Marx in letter to
an American worker. Bolte, written in

Why King Lynch Still Rules

the voting booths, he also should not
have the same rights as a white per-
son in a court of justice. And we are
forced to acknowledge that in this
conclusion, the lesser minds show
themselves to be more logical than
the Legislature.
Actions Consistent.
THE action of these "bloodthirsty
4 brutes" is terribly consistent with
the action OF those southern senator's,
who said on the floor Of congress that
lynching was for rape and that they
were opposed to a national law
against lynching. A lynching. is the
most logical conclusion Of dirty Jim
Grow ear. The human mind is too
simple a thing, especially the mind of
the unsophisticated mob, to be able
to comprehend that a Negro Is at one
and the same time like other human
beings and different from all other hui
man beings, and that Negro people
are not to be treated with injustice,
contempt and terrorism everywhere
else except in courts OF law and in
iails.
II the political and social philosophy
and practices OF the better south
have made dt powerless before its
"bloodthirsty brutes," the south needs
