Worker Eagerness to Fight
Found by Party Organizer

MaiD.-Unions, farmer, labor and
fraternal organizations of every de-
scriptien are being lined up for the
1928 Labor Party campaign accord
ing to the report of Rebecca Grecht,
field organizer of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party. The organization of
new Party units and Young Workers
League groups, the revival of Old
units, the formation of ladies' aux
iliaries of miners locals, the launch
ing of mine bulletins and factory
newspapers, classes in fundamentals
of Communism and open forums, mari;
the path of Rebecca Grecht's tour.
MONESSEN, Pa. ~ The Workers
(Communist) Party unit of the Amer
lean Sheet and Tin Plate Co. and
many other workers of this factory,
met with the field organizer Satur-
day. Three sympathizers joined the
Party.
Proposal for factory paper made
by Rebecca Grecht was enthusiast
-cally greeted by the workers of this
shop, who agreed to start one i'm
mediately. Grecht explained how
suitable material should be procured
and written. This group is handicap
ped by language difficulties. but one
new member who reads and speaks
English we'll, will assume the lead
ership of the enterprise.
Workers Join Party.
A meeting was held in the Croatian
Hall Sunday morning. Two more
workers joined the Party and large

Farmers at Meeting.

WASHINGTON COUNTY. = A
mass meeting was held here at which
many farmers, miners and members
of the ladies' auxiliary of the miners
local were present. There are many
thousand tenant farmers in this dis
trict supporting the striking miners,
who can be expected to rally to the
support Of Labor Party. The pro-
prietors of land, however, oppose the
strike and progressive labor policy,
Comrade Rebecca Grecht finds.

Organize Relief

Just few days ago, "our" Presi-
dent Coolidge in a talk before the
Union League Club, pictured the con-
ditions in America as rosy and pros
porous. From the ovations and ap-
plause he received it is quite evident
that those present agreed with him
wholeheartedly. Now comes the ques-
ton who were those present and what
kind of a club is the Union League
Club?
A Bosses Club.
By investigating we learn that the
Union League Club is an organiza-
ton whose membership is composed
of the richest and most powerful
capitalists of America 1t is the real
Congress of America and controls
both national and state governments.
To this body all presidents must come
and dutifully report to their masters.
No republican president since Lin
coin failed to deliver his report to
this group, except Harding, who died
before he had the chance.
Prosperity For the Capitalists.
Knowing these facts about the
Union League Club, it becomes clear
to US for whom it is rosy and pros
porous. Is it for the workers? Of
course not! 1t is for the members of
the Union League Club, the capital
lists.
1t should also become clear to US
why the government interferes with
and breaks strikes. Why the courts
issue orders against the workers re-
fusing to permit them to organize.
Why they send the militia in Colorado
to protect scabs and shoot down help
less striking workers. Why the po-
lice beat and arrest anyone who dares
to strike for better conditions.
A Bosses Government.
When these things become clear to
us we will see that the government
is the tool of the bosses and we will
understand the necessity of helping
workers on strike, especially the MN
ers who have been evicted from their
homes and forced to live in barns and
tents.
Help For the Miners.
Their suffering has been most
severe and we must answer the appeal
of the group of miners children by
lending our aid as much as possible
so that they can continue OUR fight,
the fight against the capitalists.
Organize relief! Get together in
groups wherever you can and send all
money and clothes to Young Comrade
Section, SO First ST., New York City.
We will send them on to the striking
miners and their children.

GRAND RESULT
Of ALL. ACTION
is NOTHING DONE:
Statement in News Is
Without Program
(Bv worker Corresnondentl

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The recent
sweeping injunctions issued ty war;
ldus courts against the trade union
movement have called forth a large
volume of resentment in the labor
movement as well as among the un-
organized workers. So powerful was
his feeling of resentment and protest
among the workers, and so obvious
IS, the danger to the labor movement
Of these injunctions, that even the
reactionary heads of the American
Federation of Labor were compelled
70 take note of these problems. The
results of their so-called efforts have
oeen nothing as usual, because of their
failure to attack the problem in a
fundamental manner.
Il r. Fools Workers.
This is the feeling of the progress
sive trade unionists and working class
1nilitants in the Chicago labor move
n'ent. The position taken by the Chi
cago Federation News on the ques-
lion falls short very considerably of
rhat the situation actually demands
The Federation News of Dec. 3
Wri es:
"The fragrant misuse of the injunc-
lion, (which has done infinite harm
to organized labor, has become a para
mount issue of the American Fedora
ton of Labor"
This statement is in the opinion of
The progressives Of the Chicago labor
movement more or less correct. The
BETTER way of stating it would have
been, that while the misuses of the
Haiuncticn has become paramount
issue for the American working class,
the heads of the American Federation
cf Labor are failing to mobilize the
forces Of labor for an effective strug-
Gle against the injunction.
Z Must Organize Labor Party.
One of the criticisms in this con-
roction made by the Chicago pro-
gressives against the Federation
News and the present leadership of
The Chicago Federation of Labor is
that both fail to draw the proper con-
Illusions from the injunction situa-
zion. The position taken by the pro-
gressives is that the only effective an
swer to the fragrant misuse of the
Injunction" is, first, the mass VIOLA
ton of the injunction, not only in
word, but in deed, and, secondly, the
organization of a labor party to fight
against the domination of the employ
ing class in the American government.
1t is also stated that vital means
of fighting the injunction as we'll as
the general offensive of capital
against labor, is the organization of
the unorganized and the general
strengthening Of the trade union
