The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-02-04

4 the labor movement, for organ
izing the most powerful resistance of
the masses and for establishing
united front of the trade unions and
all workers political parties in order
that a real struggle may be made.
Must Not Be Fooled By Bureaucrats.
But the workers would be living in
a fools paradise if they expected that
these bureaucrats would conduct such
struggle. The declaration of Mr..
Sullivan is only a pose to fool the
rank and file Of labor. 1t is a con-
cession in phrases made to the work.
ers who are aware of the menace of
the injunctions, of the extensive use
of police violence, the denial Of the
right of freedom of speech, the con-
centration of the state power, etc.
Workers Want Action.
These bureaucrats realize that the
workers will find leaders in the mill
tants to take up this battle and that
it will mean the undoing of these mis-
leaders if they keep quiet in the face
of such an open and direct challenge
by the employing class of this coun-
try. 1t is to quiet this unrest of the
rank and file, to keep the movement
against injunctions in the official
channels of the bureaucracy, to sabo-
tage the movement and to evade a
real struggle and at the same time to
boost Tammany Hall, that these
bureaucrats are resorting to this
"brave" language and to this ap-
parently challenging tone in the
declaration quoted above. Nor must
the workers be fooled by what Sulli-
van means by the statement that
political differences will be set aside
in the struggle against the common
enemy"
A Deceptive Bill.
EXAMINE the bill. 1t is a feebler
measure than that demanded by
these same bureaucrats at the conven-
ton of the A. F. of L. which declared
against the injunction entirely. 1t is
the most harmless that could be con-
ceived by Labor. 1t means in reality
an abandonment of the fight against
the injunctiOnS. How will hearings
prevent the issuance of injunctions
Does it do away with the capitalist
judges who are subservient to every
within of the big employers? Moth
ing but the demand for the complete
prohibition of the issuance of apu in
functions by the courts against Labor,
nothing but an attack against the
class character of the state and of the
courts could make the struggle
against injunctions victorious. Only
thru mass violations and the mobili-
cation Of the political power of the
workers as class and by the estab-
lishment of Labor Party can seri-
Gus step be taken to put stop to in
functions and 20 make the employers
and courts hesitate before they re-
sort SO extensively to the issuance of
injunctions.
Bureaucrats Opposed to Class
Struggle.
But these bureaucrats are opposed
to the class struggle. Sullivan and
O'Hanlon agreed with the statement
of the chairman of the Industrial Sur
vey Commission when, at the hear
ing on the injunction bill on January
Fl, he stated that "they know Of no
class war in New York State"
These bureaucrats surely cannot ex-
pect to get more from the State As
sembly than such feeble and de-
ceptive measure when they keep La
Dor tied to Tammany Hall politics ana
keep the masses within the frame
work of these capitalist parties. Re-
fusing to organize Labor Party and
break with the capitalist parties,
these labor officials do not wish to
and cannot organize for any real
struggle against the injunctions.
