COUtCHUeu from Fuye OUe
where the workers feel the full
brunt of capitalist dictatorship, the
Party raises the banner of Commu-
nism and calls for the establishment
of a workers government Soviet
Government.
COP. Aids Mill Barons.
The prospects for our Party are
bright indeed. Tens of thousands
of textile workers have seen police
and troops massed against them in
an effort to drive them back into
the mills under starvation wages.
The republican administration in the
state and the democratic administra-
ton in the various cities have used
the state machinery to the fullest
extent against the workers and for
the mill bosses. Persecution, mass
arrests, long prison terms, anti-pic-
keting decisions and brutal third
degree methods have been the lot
of the fighting textile workers in
New Bedford and Fall River.
The merging of the socialist Party
with the trade union bureaucrats in
New Bedford and Fall River and
their Joint effort to sell out the
workers by foisting on them vici-
Gus speed-up system has done much
to expose the true reactionary char
acter of the socialist party. The
masses of textile workers are look
ing to our Party for leadership on
the economic and political fields.
Mary Donovan Hapgood, candi-
date for governor on the socialist
party ticket is trying to cash in
politically on her connection with
the Sacco-V anzetti Defense Commit
tee, a liberal outfit that refused to
participate in a mass movement for
the defense of the two framed work
ingclass leaders, spurned every Of
fer for a United Front of labor, but
instead lined up with bourgeois
politicians and professors, expecting
that thru wire-pulling and the in
fluence of conservative public
leaders" the political hangmen in
control of the government apparatus
of Massachusetts would free the men
thew had doomed to die because of
their activities in behalf of the
workingclass.
BANKRUPT politically and num-
erically, the socialist party which
was part and parcel of this criminal
conspiracy against Sacco and Van
zetti, in the refusal to arouse the
masses against the frame-up, is now
playing its customary political con-
fidence game, putting Miss Donovan
forward as workingclass leader to
catch votes in the election campaign.
The class-conscious workers of Mas
sachusetts who rallied behind the
Workers (Communist) Party and
the International Labor Defense in
the great mass struggles under Com
munist leadership to snatch Sacco
and Vanzetti from the Jaws of death
will turn a deaf ear to the siren
pleas of the Socialist Party candi-
date for governor.
Aid Strikebreakers.
The socialist party in New Eng
land is lining up with the strike
breaking bureaucrats Of the New
Bedford Textile Council who are
waging war on the rank and file of
the mill workers under the leader
ship of the Textile Mills Commit
tees. Miss Donovan speaks from
the same platform with the labor
takers, leads their picket lines, I'M
der police protection, deneunces the
Left Wing leadership of the strike
and helps to distribute leaflets
charging the foreign-born workers
with dragging down the standard of
living of the American" workers.
The socialist party Of New Eng
land today is merely competitor
tho weak one--of the republican
and democratic parties for the favor
of the ruling classes.
The Workers (Communist) Party
not only raises the banner Of the
class struggle during the election
Ss-sDsiFI and ell the year round.
