Politicians Farmer-LabOr Meet

''The socialist party of today is
for the protection of capitalist
law and order, is against revolu-
ton, is against the working class
government of Soviet Russia,
and supports every measure of
the A. F. of L. bureaucracy for
class collaboration. The socialist
party has transformed its party
organization from a membership
organization into a ward organ
izatiOn of voters. 1t has shifted
its class basis from a. working
class entirely and definitely to
the lower middle class. The last
national convention of the social
list party in April, 1928, went so
far as to drop the class struggle
pledge that applicants for men,
bership had to sign in the past"
The socialist party is today in &C.
tive opposition to labor party. II
stands for third party, that is a
petty-bourgeois party, a capitalist
party, and it claims that it is the
third party of the United States
1t openly boasts that its ambition
is to inherit the traditions of the
La Toilette movement of 1924.
The Workers (Communist) Party
is the only party of class struggle
in the United States. 1t is the
deadly enemy of class-collaboration
because it is a deadly enemy of cap
italism. The Workers Communist
Party is the champion of the inter.
ests of ali the working class anc
the working farmers. 1t is the ad.
vocate Of the most exploited sec.
lions OF the working class, the un.
skilled workers. 1t is the champion
of the interests of the Oppressed
Negro race, both as a race and as
a section of the working class. II
is the organizer of the struggle
against war and Imperialism. It is
because it fights for the interests
of the workers, because it fights fo,
the organization of the unorganized
because it fights against the bur.
eaucracy, because it champions the
interests of all the oppressed.
1t is for this very reason that
all the forces of capitalism, of the
bureaucracy of the A. T. of L., Of
the leaders of the socialist party
have modified against the Comnlu.
nists. The republicans, the demo.
Gratis, the socialists, the labor bur.
eaucrats have one common platform
as far as its fight against Commu
nism is concerned.

Not ''The Same As"

9The Arbitrator" an obscure, weak and
watery monthly digest" in supporting the
Reverend Norman Thomas for president, goes
out of its way to SANDER us. 1t says:
'sThe Communist platform is the the
socialist with the added clause demanding the
overthrow of the existing social order"
It is true that the Workers COMMUNIST
Party demands the overthrow of the existing
social order, as did Marx, Engels and all others
having any claims on the loyalty of the work
ing class. 1t is also true that the Reverend
Thomas Socialist" party renounces Marx, does
not want to overthrow the capitalist social or
der but defends it. But the blithering idiot
who wrote that the Communist platform is the
same as the socialist party's platform, if he is
honest, needs quick service from Bellevue.
The Communist platform not only calls for
the overthrow of the existing capitalist social
order, but also calls for militant struggle for
the every day demands of the workers and ex-
plotted farmers. The socialist party deleted
from its platform all reference to the class
struggle; the socialist party is opposed to the
workers engaging in the class struggle be-
cause that party has lost al working class
character and wishes to preserve the existing

The group of so-called insurgents,
the Borahs, the Norrises, the La
Toilette movement which betrayed
the interests of the working class
and the working farmers and help
ed to lead into peaceful channels
the discomfort of the masses exist
ing at that time. At the present
time most of these politicians are
already actively in the camps of the
republican and democratic parties,
championing the nominations of
Hoover and Smith and the plat
forms of oppression against the
masses adopted at both Kansas City
and Houston.
These politicians are not even
ready to support third party, a
bourgeois party, not to speak of a
party that champions the interests
of the exploited masses. This they
cannot do because their class inter
ests are different than the interests
of the workers and poor farmers.
Their only role is to fight against
the interests of these masses, and
the special role of the so-called in
surgents which makes them even
more dangerous in a sense than the
old guard politicians of the capital
ist parties, is that they pose as
friends Of the people, and in this
way try to lead the discomfort of
the workers away from revolution
airy struggle and lead them back in
to the capitalist parties.
The Chicago Convention.
The Chicago convention can have
only one object, that is to liquidate
whatever genuine labor party SEN
timent there still exists in the var
ious localities and lead it into the
camp of the old parties. Many of
those who sponsor the convention
in Chicago have already expressed
themselves toward the Endorsement
of Tammany Smith. There is no
doubt that what they desire is to
endorse Smith at the Chicago con-
vention and create the impression
that the farmer-labor movement has
been liquidated and is to be found
in the Tammany camp.
Not only will they not form a
farmer-iabor party with a national
ticket, at Chicago, but even a third
party will not be formed. The la
Dor bureaucrats of the A. F. of L.
and the railroad brotherhoods who
in 1924 supported La Toilette, are
today to be found in the camps OF
Hoover and Smith. They are not
! willing even to support third par

On With the Miners Struggle!
For the Workers!

The coal operators and their agents, the Off
Gals of the Lewis machine of the United Mine
Workers, have pursued well-calculated policy
of naturalization in the industry ruthless,
determined and yet-unsuccessful.
Two main detectives appear to have motiv-
ated the operators-the elimination of three
hundred thousand miners which under the new
conditions of internal and foreign competition
have become a surplus" and secondly the
elimination of the less profitable mines which
cannot be brought under the regime of the
new mechanization in the industry, process
which, of course, is directly connected with
the first aim.
In order to accomplish the elimination of a
quarter of a million workers it was necessary
to exterminate unionism in the industry. To
accomplish the naturalization it became neces-
sary to consolidate and reorganize scores of
mine holdings by mergers, etc.
Thus far these processes have been largely
limited to the bituminous fields. That the
same developments are due to be attempted
in the anthracite districts is clearly indicated
by the sympathetic walkout of about 10000
hard coal miners employed by the Lehigh Val
ley Coal and Navigation Company near Hazel
tom b., after this company had deliberately
violated its agreement with the union by whole
sale discharges in its so-called ''unprofitable"
mines.
In the two main purposes of the operators
the fullest support of the Lewis machine Off
Gals has always been at their disposal. Because
of this help, the operators have made much
progress toward their objectives-and yet in
the long run both detectives are due to prove
unsuccessful.
In the first place, the confident hope of the
operators that, with the destruction of the
once powerful United Mine Workers organiza-
ton, all unionism would disappear in the indus
try, has been proved futile.
The increasing number of spontaneous
strikes prevalent even in the non-union fields
point to an entirely opposite development.
The call by the progressive miners for new
union convention next September is an event
of the greatest significance
Also indicative of the inability of coal CAPT.
taliSm to solve its inner contradictions are the
new factors arising in connection with the me-
2chanization of the industry. The further this
discrimination is pushed the greater will be
the struggles of the workers in the future. The
level to which Naturalization has brought
the miners standards is in fact starvation
level.
The coal industry is, par excellence, the one
in which capitalism is training its own grave
diggers.
The further attempts by the coal operators
to 'rationalize" the industry at the expense of
the working class will meet with such resis-
lance as will make even the present record
struggles in the mine districts appear tame by
comparison. The response of the coal diggers
must be the concentration of all their forces
and energies towards mobilizing for the Sep
TENDER convention which like the April /
Pittsburgh conference will mark a milestone in
their struggles toward freedom

working class, as the enemies of the
interests of the exploited farmers.
Our Party will expose them as the
agents of capitalism, as the agents
of the capitalist parties.
The Workers (Communist) Par
ty calls upon all those who really
stand for a labor party, based on
the class struggle, to support the
only workers party in the present
elections, the Workers (Communist)
Party, the Party of undying oppo-
sition TO capitalism and capitalist
rule.

capitalist social ORDER which it defends as
democratic"
The socialist party is in reality party of
capitalism; the Communist Party is the party
of the working class and consequently of the
working class revolution.
The two don't mix. The Communist plat
form is not "the same as"-in any respect.
