Who Are the Rats, Mr. James Maurer?

they deliberately avoided taking is
sue on the INFLAMMATION of the youth
oy allowing resolution against the
&c. M. T. G. to be tabled; they buried
a resolution demanding the release
of Sam Bonita, victim of the Lewis
Cappelini murder and frame-up ma
chine; and finally Jim Maurer, who
pretends to be progressive by virtue
of his support of the Soviet Union,
frankly admitted his cowardice by de-
claring that he could not press for
adoption of a. resolution demanding
recognition of the First Workers Re
public and allowed this resolution too,
to be buried.
During this short period of the con-
vention, Maurer and the socialists and
"progressives" perpetrated every form
of betrayal and exposed in all its
filthy nakedness all the treachery and
all the cowardice of which the social
lists and fake progressives are ca
pable. The net result of the conven-
ton is that the notorious Ware Mellon
machine will, in the words of one of
its supporters, "be compelled to spend
about $4,000 to win the support of
the federation and it's new president,
the democratic John Casey"
Communists Alone Dependable.
But for the honest workers who at
tended this convention, for those dele
gates who cast rs votes for John Otis.
the candidate of the militants, and
for many thousands of workers thru
out the country who will have learn
ed from this convention that only
those leaders who are grouped around
the Workers (Communist) Party and
the Trade Union Educational League
can be depended on militantly to wage
the fight against all the forces of re-
action; for these thousands of work
,ers the convention will have served as
a great purpose.
In the eyes of those workers who
are battling the sinister forces that
threaten the destruction of the trade
unions and block the progress of the
workers, the little handful Of mill
tant delegates who stood up in the
convention and fought the Lewis
Cappelini Kennedy Pagan Feeney
gang and their thugs and gunner,
when it required real courage and de-
termination, will not appear as rats.
But Jim Maurer and the socialist
party of which he is member and
the spineless pseudo progressives who
are grouped around him and who
dared not oppose, dared not fight
these, Mr.. Maurer, are the rats.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-18
BY HERBERT BENJAMIN.

For over thirteen months thousands
of Pennsylvania miners have been
waging one of the most heroic strug-
giles in the annals of the American
labor movement. Never has a strug-
gle Of workers in this country been
fought under greater difficulties.
Never were workers required to show
greater courage and fortitude in the
face of every form of suffering and
persecution.
For six months their suffering was
entirely ignored. No effort was made
by the officialdom of their union or
of the A. F. of L. to relieve their dis
tress during this period. Nothing eff
fective was done to prevent the oper-
alton of the mines with scabs.
When finally they started to organ
ize their own relief campaign, their
officials openly sabotaged the relief
work. When the workers began to
rally to the support of the striking
miners and came forward with relief
funds to help provide food and cloth
ing for the miners and their fami-
lies, the bureaucrats in the miners
union diverted these funds to their
own pockets in the form of princely
salaries and expense accounts, draw
ing from the union funds over $780,
900 in salaries for a six month per-
iod.
Driven to desperation, knowing that
their heroic struggle would be de-
feated and that they would be forced
into the worst kind of slavery unless
they rid themselves of the paralyzing
hold of the enemy in their own ranks
the Lewis-Fagan-K Kennedy Capped
lini gang of traitors and agents of
the coal operators-the miners turned
to this task as part of the struggle
to save their union from destruction.
Few Represented.
There were not many representa-
tives of the fighting miners in the
9th annual convention of the Penn
sylvania State Federation of Labor
which closed last Saturday. The
treasures of the local unions had
long ago been exhausted. But few
did manage to make the 800 mile trip
to Philadelphia, which was probably
chosen for this convention with a
view to preventing representatives of
the strikers from coming. Their lead
err was Isaac Munsey, whose father
was chattel slave and whose more
than sixty years have been spent in
slavery even worse than his father

which was in the right. Others of

tunes were changed to. make them

For this Crime" Judge Langham is

Subcommittee condemned as unconsti-
tutional and complete abrogation of
civil liberties.
Hypocrisy Speaks.

that he had not acted in an unfair
manner, donated a sum of money to

Feeney gang is now openly running
a detective and scab supplying agen-
cy in Philadelphia).
And Who Heads Lot?
Presiding over this convention was
James H. Maurer, Socialist" "pro-
gressive" candidate of the socialist
lparty for vice president, running mate
of the Reverend Norman Thomas,
representing the ''peepul" of Reading,
Pa, in the city council. Jim Maurer
knows the Pennsylvania gang" very
! well. Sixteen years ago he was
elected president of the State Fedora
ton by workers in revolt against the
Feeneys, Cappelinis, Kennedys and
Fagans of that time. He was now re-
firing, he was turning the federation
over to a new executive and in doing
so he was to express his views, the
views of the socialist party and of his
progressive" group. The opening of
the convention found him strangely
silent. On the second day of the con-
Ivention, when the militants Munsey
and Harvey were denied seats in the
convention at the demand of the Fa-
gan-Cappelini gang, he was strange
lily absent.
On the third day, however, when a
bitter fight was waging between the
Imilitants and the reactionary bureau
Gratis, while the treacherous despots
of the miners unions were modifying
their gangsters and gunner for an
assault upon the little group of cour-
ageous rank and file delegates who
were denouncing the treachery of the
llabor-fakers-then Maurer spoke
then he delivered his parting shot.
From his place on the platform he
shouted: "You and your bunch are the
worst bunch of rats I've ever run into
in my sixteen years as president of
this federation"
Against Whom.
But, it was not against Frank Feen-
ey, the cynical CRATER, nor against
Cappelini responsible for the assassin
alton of Lillis, Campbell and Reilly
that this attack was directed by the
socialist and progressive Jim
Maurer. No! That would have re-
quired honesty and courage! And who
can expect to find an honest and
courageous leader of what remains of
the yellow socialist party? This vi
cious attack was directed by the lead
er and spokesman of the socialist
party and the "progressives" against
Pat Cash, the valiant steel worker,
whose name appears on the blacklist
of every steel company in Pennsyl-
wanna and against the little group of

miners whose struggle to prevent the
destruction of the once powerful min
Iers' union must serve as an inspira-
ton to the entire working class.
Jim Maurer was elected president
of the Pennsylvania Federation of
Labor sixteen years ago as the
spokesman and representative of a
militant working class that sought to
make the federation an instrument
for the advancement of the interests
of the workers by taking it out of the
hands of the corrupt and reactionary
forces who were using it against the
workers. He passed out of the con-
vention few days ago, miserable
failure and cowardly renegade. His
attack upon the small group of hon
est representative of the workers
came not as the result of a sudden
and uncomfortable burst of temper.
His attack was the result of a calcu-
lated systematic policy of betrayal
and surrender to the worst and black
est elements who curse the labor
movement.
Jim Maurer, as the spokesman of
the socialist party and of the coward
ly "progressives, delivered the Penn
sylvania Federation of Labor into the
hands of Cappelini, which means into
the hands of Lewis and their CAPT
talist masters. Together with his I'M
Iderstudy John Phillips, whom he fail
ed to elect as his successor, Maurer
made united front against the strik-
ing miners, against the only elements
who are fighting to prevent the de-
struction of the trade union move
ment. Consciously and with deliber-
ate purpose Maurer and his group in
the convention defeated every pro-
gressive policy put forward by the
left wing in an effort to placate the
Unsuitable reaction of Bill Green,
John L. Lewis, Matthew Woll and Co.
Read the Record.
They allowed delegates against
whom Pagan and Cappelini made OBJ
lection to be expelled; they permitted
the betrayers Of the miners strike to
castigate the militant miners; they
helped defeat a move against COM
pany unionism by voting down the
resolution against the "Mitten Plan"
although they previously had ex-
pressed themselves against this vi
cious method of destroying the
unions; they helped discredit reso-
luton for relief of the unemployed;
denouncing as impractical proposal
for unemployment insurance funds
for which are to be derived by taxing
the swollen profits of the employers;

suffered. For 81 years member of
the miners union and before that of
the knights of Labor, he had nursed
the union, he said, and was now
fighting to save it. With these rep
resentatives of the miners, there came
also a few trade unionist delegates
of rank and file workers in other in
dustries, under the leadership of such
veterans Of the struggles of the
American workers as Pat Cush, a
steel worker who helped meet the at
tack of the Pinkertons in the historic
Homestead strike of 1892, and John
Otis, whose lone voice in the confer
ence on the miners strike called by
VIM. Green, shook the complacency
of the "fat-boys" and focused atten-
ton upon the real demands of the
miners. They came, these delegates,
to demand that the unions shall meet
squarely the attacks of the ruling
class of this country against the most
basic interests of the workers.
Constructive Program.
They came with a constructive and
practical program for the organizing
of the great masses of unorganized
workers; for fight against and mass
violation Of the strikebreaking injunc-
tons; for relief of the millions of I'M
employed workers; for a systematic
and consistent effort to develop the
political power of labor through a
labor party; for a struggle against
company unions and the company
unionization of the trade unions thru
such treacherous schemes as the "Mit-
ten Plan; for struggle against i'm
perialism and the danger of imperial
list war which now threatens the en-
tire working class of the world; for
advancing trade unionism among
women, Negro and youth workers.
Against them was arrayed a mob
of the choicest labor-fakers in the
country, Kennedy, Pagan, Cappelini
and whole army of lesser bureau
Gratis, united with such cynical graft
ers, as Frank Feeney, who has been
quoted by none other than Jim Maur-
er himself as saying, "Sure Pm
grafter-I'm for Frank Feeney." Men
capable of and in many cases guilty
of every crime from petty-larceny and
graft, to cold-blooded murder were
there. In this array were to be found
scores of men who a year hence will
have been exposed as under-cover
agents, detectives in the employ of
the worst enemies of labor. Even as
in previous years there were among
them the Frank Farringtons and the
