to It's Bossom)

cause of the working class if
Communists are 'to be in a posi-
ton to give exact directions and to
ensure that they take the lead in
all proletarian ecounters with
capitalism
The Times editorial writer pauses
to wipe away a few tears from eyes
trimming over at the thot of the
Sacrifices imposed on the workers"
by the left wing and then, from the
same magical silk hat which came
the marvellous collection Of figures,
referred to above, produces a brilli-
ant bouquet and hands it to the right
wing leadership which has accom-
plished the meritorious feat of estab-
fishing, with the help of the A. F. of
L. leadership, the police and the
bosses, the open shop in an industry
formerly fairly we'll organized.
Because it wants to do well by it's
right wing proteges, and from force
of habit, the Times tells TWO more
lies.
1t says;
MISREPRESENTATION has brought
back the great mass of workers to
the moderate leadership which would
have avoided the strike The unions
have been recognized. :"
The Proteges.
The Times, organ of the most
powerful section of the American
capitalist class, takes Sigman, the
socialist party bureaucracy, the
Jewish Daily Forward, the special
A. F. of L. committee and their
-police-frame-up auxiliaries
to it's ample BOSOM. In that snug
shelter they nestle most comfortably
except that from time to time they
utter little shrieks of alarm as a
Communist approaches.
Another Lie.
But the needle trades workers are
not with them. Nor is the right wing
union union in anything but name.
Neither is it recognized" by the
bosses except as an instrument they
can use to lower wages and worsen
working conditions. That is why the
Times praises its leadership.
'What was intended as a lesson in
class war;" says the Times. "has
turned out a tremendous lesson
against it."
Once more the Times lies.
In No CnofiO1o IF bo IL
ment, with the possible exception of
the coal miners union, have the work
ers received such training in the class
struggle and such concrete proof of
the anti-wOrking class role of the
trade union bureaucracy and the So
cialist party leadership, as they have
in the needle trades.
Who Termed the Terror.
The workers have seen reactionary
trade union officials testifying
against strikes and pickets in the
courts of the capitalist class. They
have seen the right wing leadership
in a united front with the bosses and
the government. They have seen the
socialist leaders and the socialist
press justify everything from in
| functions to the attempts to murder
of strikes and left wing leaders
The workers have seen the Fur
Workers Union expelled from the A.
F. of l.. after it established the 40
hour week. They have seen the
frame-up worked by right wing lead
ers to railroad strikers and pickets to
prison.
The workers have seen The Times
and now see it again, as part of the
united front of reaction.
The Communists and the left wing
are building the unions again. They
are the only ones that can and will
organize the needle trades.
"The great mass of the workers"
in the needle trades have not rejected
the class war. On the contrary they
know better than ever, there has been
burned into their minds by the strug-
gle, the knowledge that "the moderate
leadership" lauded by The Times is a
corrupt and incompetent bosses
leadership, that the class war is a fact
that enters in all the daily struggles
of the labor movement, that against
the united front of reaction reaching
from The Times to the socialist New
Leader, there must be opposed by the
united front of the working class.
On one point we can agree with
The Times. The needle trades strug-
gle has been "a tremendous lesson"
But not against the Communist and
the class war.
