militant workers. The professional
patriots Of the American Legion
and other capitalist organizations,
the fascists, the leaders of the
American Federation Of Labor bur-
eaucracy, the spokesmen of the pu-
trid socialist party, are all united
in denouneing militahcy among the
workers, in trying to break every
class-struggle movement, In aiding,
defending and generating the capt.
talist state apparatus.
The press, that great instrument
for befogging the workers con-
seriousness and subjugating them to
ss-domination, is spreading ever
larger clouds Of poison gas propa-
ganda against the insurgency of the
exploited. The class Of the rulers is
more defiant, more rabid than a
year ago.
But significant changes have
taken place in the workingclass in
the last year. The coal strike, be-
trayed by it's official leaders, devel-
oped q broad stream of class-con-
scious milftancy which found its ex-
preston in growing protest
against capitalism, growing ten
derzy to fight, and readiness to
organize on a new fighting basis.
| The textile workers have started in
New Bedford a splendid strike of
$4,000, which has now lasted for
several months, has spread to Fall
River, is causing tremendous re-
verberation throughout the mass of
textile labor and stimulates the
tendency for militant organization.
Among the garment workers and
fur workers a new wave of fighting
| determination to overcome the chaos
caused by the betrayal of the social
list union bureaucrats in collabora-
ton with the A. F. of L. officialdom
is surging. Sporadic strikes of au-
tomobile workers have indicated the
readiness to fight. New, militant
unions are in the process of organi-
cation in the coal industry, in. the
textile industry, in the ladies gar
ment industry, in the fur industry,
and in many others. The working
masses are awakening. New life is
stirring in the American working
class.
In all these movements the left
wing, as exemplified by the Trade
Union Educational League, is TAX
ing a leading part. There is no Ia
Dor movement in the United States
outside of the left wing movement
There is no hope for the working
class outside of the revolutionary
struggle having as it's final aim the
overthrow of capitalism and the in
