"The victory of Tammany Hall and

business for more reactionary laws,
for the extension of the Baumes

Of organizing the workers into a SOL

this they succeeded in enlightening
many thousands of workers.
Labor Must Fight.
Labor must realize that IL must
either fight against or surrender to
the injunction menace; that it must
either free itself from the illusion Of
non-partisan political action or it will
be crushed by the tremendous state
power of the capitalist class. All
workers from now on must strive
their utmost to realize in the 1928
presidential election the unity Of la
Dor on the political field. They must
attack numerically the socialist
party and its policy of following the
footsteps of the labor officialdom.
Labor must expose these tactics as
serving to prevent the formation Of
a Labor Party in this country. A
Labor Party based upon the trade
unions is the need of the hour and

of this aim. The workers must give
