The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-08-21

rights he has been too long separated by a
deep bureaucratic gulf from the working
class, its ways of thought and it's motives;
he confuses their motives with his own.
But we can tell Mr.. VOL that the severe
beating that he and Lewis and Green and
Sigman and Kaufman are getting is due to
the determination of the workers in certain
sections of industry that their labor move
ment shall not be destroyed
Nor can Matty scare these workers with
the cry of dual unionism." The militant
workers in several great industries are out
to organize their class, and the dirty strike
breaking tactics of preserving shell of semi
company unionism as a dog-in-the-manger
to prevent the real organization of the work
ers, is not going to keep them from action.
We notice that VOLTS latest appeal against
the Communists is no longer to the workers,
but to section Of employers. Speaking of
what he calls "the changed attitude" of the
Communists (Which is merely the consistent
application of long established Communist
principles to present situation), Mr.. Vol
said to the capitalist press
1--WE welcome the changed attitude because
will know which AMERICAN EMPLOY
Frs willing to countenance Moscow con-
trolled labor organizations, financed by Soviet
Russia and formed for the specific purpose of
furthering the Moscow scheme of world revolu-
ton and Dictatorship
So the appeal is to American employers"
against the Communists. This is some i'm
provement; it is the beginning of recog-
milton that he cannot successfully appeal to
the workers. The workers in the mine fields,
in the textile mills and in the needle trades
are rapidly learning that the Workers Com
munist Party is their one everlasting and
fearless friend and leader, and some of them
are even learning to take to their bosoms
the doctrines of Communism" as Mr.. Woll
would say. Mr.. VOLTS statement is wild
appeal to open-shop employers to come to his
rescue against the Communists and the
hundreds of thousands of workers whose
unions he and Green and Lewis and Sgman
have wrecked. His frantic plea is:
"We will now find out how our open shop
employers with alleged American and patriotic
war cries will take to their bosoms the doctrines
of Communism and the Vaccinations of Commu-
nists"
Since the doctrines of Communism in
clude the confiscation of the mills mines and
factories from the employers, Mr.. Vol
IIlSdllO IildC Vic OpCIl-SllOp SluplOyOIO W
whom he appeals cannot take to their
bosoms the Communist program" What Woll
is really getting at is that the employers are
going to be beaten by the workers unless The
employers call in MIR. VOLTS gang to help
them. He tells the open-shop employers:
And the public (meaning the capitalist cIass)
will learn the great service rendered by Ameri-
can labor (meanng the labor bureaucracy to
people (meaning the capitalist class) and the
government"
WE'LL Mr. Vol, you ought to understand
that these actions of yours are motive enough
for beating you. We think that it may be
the licking you are getting from the fur
workers under the leadership of the Commu-
mist, Ben Gold, among others, that inspired
your latest scream.
1t must have been Ben Gold, not Soviet
gold.
