The Fight Against Zausnersm in the Painters Union

whole policy of fight against all ele-
ments of Zausnerism.
Time to Fight Now.
! The left wing should have pointed
out all along that the united front
would prove its worth only if it is
directed against all agents Of Zaus-
nerism and that those who fight for
class struggle policies must fight
against all agents of class collabora-
ton and corruption, whatever be
their names or their pretenses.
The time is ripe now for the left
wingers to call upon all workers in
the present election to fight against
Shapiro and Mcnamara. They must
not be fooled by the slogan that the
election of Mcnamara means the re-
turn of Zausner. Both Shapiro and
Mcnamara are flesh of the flesh
and bone of the bone of Brindellism
and Zausnerism.
The left wing should point out to
all honest progressive workers, to
the masses as a whole, that the
election of Shapiro or Mcnamara
means only further consolidation OF
the reactionaries and the continual
ton of the present union-wrecking
policies.
The so-calIed progressives who
support Shapiro are helping to
keep enemies of the workers in con-
troll of the union. The left wing can
have nothing to do with bureau
Gratis like Shapiro, who flirt with
the progressives and left wingers
only because they want more time
to consolidate their machine, and tc
attack the left wing, to expel the
left wingers and Communists at the
same time they fasten the power Of
the bosses on the lives of the work.
ers still more securely.
In the present election struggle
the left wing and the Communist:
must fight against Shapiro anC
Mcnamara, against Zausnerism anc
Brindellism. They must use the
elections to bring to the masses Of
workers the program of class strug
gle of the left wing. They mus
