Score Pullman Strike BETRAYAL

cepted craft isolation and accepted
race segregation. The basic short
conings of the organization of the
Pullman porters are that it is q craft
organization and that it never put
up a sincere struggle against race
segregation.
Strike Bluff or Strike Struggle
The strike call issued by the present
Randolph Webster leadership of the
organization was not for a moment
meant seriously. It was only bluff.
1t was only speculation on the Wat
son-Parker law. 1t tried to induce
President Coolidge to declare state
of emergency" and set up a COM
mittee for arbitration. The treach-
cry of the Randolph Webster leader
ship consists in the fact that they
want to build a movement based on
the emergency" of the capitalist
railroads instead of basing the move
ment on the emergency of the dire
situation of the Pullman porters The
present leadership of the Pullman
porters called for the Intervention"
of President Coolidge and the capital
list government instead of calling for
the solidarity of all railroad work.
ers. They based their strategy on
the Infamous Watson-Parker law,
which institutes compulsory arbitra-
ton and makes all strikes illegal for
the railroad workers. The present
leadership of the Pullman porters has
only played with the weapon of the
strike, using it only as bluff, and
did not make serious preparations
for determined strike struggle. Ran
dolph and Webster are the accomplices
of Green and the other corrupt lead
ers Of the white labor aristocracy. The
wire of Mr.. Green, advising the Pull
man porters to call off the strike, was
pre-arranged and is but miserable
;;libi for Randolph and Webster. The
present leadership of the Pullman
porters is no better than the leader
ship of the white labor aristocracy.
They accept the craft isolation, race
segregation, and no-strike policy of
the A. F. of L.
The Pullman porters must realize
that the calling off of the strike and
its indefinite" postponement consti-
tute a serious defeat and endanger

the very life of the union. The pow
erful Pullman Company will now be-
gin merciless drive of extermina-
ton against the union. The policy
of the Pullman porters must be: in
dustrial union, solidarity of the Negro
and white railroad workers, organi-
zation Of the unorganized, and mil
liant, sincere strike preparations.
The Communist Party and the
Negroes.
The Workers (Communist) Party
of America considers it its duty to
expose the treachery of the corrupt
bureaucrats of the white labor aristo-
crazy and to fix responsibility on the
Rardolph-Webster leadership of the
Pullman porter organization.
The Communist Party considers the
organization Of the Negroes into trade
unions as one of it's foremost historic
duties. In the existing trade unions
it fights for the admittarce of Negro
workers. Ii the white labor bureau
cracy refuses to admit Negroes, the
Communists help to form new Negro
trade unions. At the same time we
fight for the principle: One trade
union for each industry for white and
Negro workers.
The Communist Party proposes to
organize inter-racial committees on
trade lines for the purpose of organic
ing Negro trade unions and to work
for the solidarity of Negro and white
workers. The Communist Party de-
mands the immediate removal Of all
restrictions in all trade unions against
the membership of Negro workers.
We fight for equal opportunity for
employment, wages, hours, and work
ing conditions for Negro and white
workers.
Our slogan is: Equal pay for equal
work for Negro and white workers,
The Communist Party is not only
the party of the working class gen
orally but also the champion of the
Negroes as an oppressed race and
the organizer Of the Negro
working -class elements. The Com
munist Party is the party of the lib
grafton of the Negro race from all
white oppression. The Communist
Party considers it as its duty to unite
all workers regardless Of their color

LOS ANGELES, Calf, (By MaiD
According to a recent report, the
new Mexican Mutual Aid Society of
Imperial Valley has filed articles of
Incorporation proposing to promote
the general welfare of its members
and other persons of Mexican descent
in the valley. Headquarters will be
established at Ell Centre. Filemon B.
Gonzales and other El Centre work
ers are named as directors.
The Brawley News CLAY 25) says,
in part, as follows "Attorneys for
the new society will be Harry Horton
and Kendall B. Perkins, who drew up
the articles for the Mexican society
and will be legal advisers"
These men were criticized by grow
ers and shippers, etc, and "investi-
gated" by the authorities at the be-
ginning Of the strike in the cantaloupe
fields, as reported in The DAILY
WORKER at the time. Why? Be
cause, in the opinion of exploiters,
gunner and prosecutors, etc, said
legal lights charged the new organi-
ration too much for their work. So
the bosses shed crocodile tears over
High cost of labor organization. On
the other hand, the same bosses
thought that it was alright to
arrest workers of both sexes by

''The society is a non-profit organi-
zation," said Horton today, "a welfare
body, merely to benefit the many
Mexicans of the valley. 1t has moth
ing whatever to do as labor organi-
cation, but is on the order of lodge
or fraternal body. There is no capital
stock. 1t is a sincere effort for bet
terment of conditions of its members
and Others of the Mexican race, and
an earnest purpose for better observ-
ance of the American laws" Horton
declared.
1t is up to the reader to figure out
the real meaning of "better observ-
ance of the American laws" in connec-
ton with the brutalites and strike
breaking activities of the authorities
during the strike.
X. Torira, ranch manager, and a
large fruit packer, were fined each
$125 recently for the offerse of pack
ing unripe melons. Justice Griffin of
Brawley, who refused to lower the
bail of jailed pickers, set the same
fine for the boss and the worker, de-
claring that an expert packer of can
taloupes should know instantly when
fruit was unfit for export, even if the
field men had been uncertain. Testi-
mony showed that about 100 crates of
unripe melons had been packed.

THE following bit of hilarious
writing domes from the pen Of
DR.. John Haynes Holmes, pacifist
minister:
II am supporting the socialist
ticket in the present presidential
campaign because the socialist par
ty is now the only political party
in this country pledged to con-
structive principles of reform. A..
for all the people"
TIL doctor who is so anxious to
reform conditions for both bed bugs
and sleeping men under the same
blanket has gotten himself all flus-
tered trying to prove the socialist
party is not a class party like the
democratic, the republican or the
Communist parties. He will serve
out his reforms to all without en-
barrassing any class. This is his
pledge. But pledges mean very lit
tie. The socialist party, like every
other, is really class party. Make
one guess. Right
ADVICE to pedagogues of the cap

ture good slaves is handed out by a
Wisconsin business man in the follow
ing words:
"Our process of home training and
education must build into the consci-
BUSINESS and soul of the child a new
philosophy of life, the philosophy of
unselfish service, service without
hope of reward, except that reward
that comes from unselfish service"
That's the kind of reward on which
workers find it very difficult to rear
families.

The Treachery of the White
Bureaucracy.

The organization of the Pullman
porters is handicapped in many re-
spects IN entering into the struggle
with the Pullman Company. The
Pullman Company is one of the most
powerful trusts in this country, fol-
lows the most ruthless opan-shop pol
icy, and applies the most brutal, crush
ing methods against tho railroad
workers. The unification Of all trade
Unions Of the railroad workers and
the organization of the unorganized
railroad workers is necessary to com
bat the powerful Pullman Company.
The craft organization of the sixteen
STANDARD" railroad unions are I'M.
able to carry on a really successful
struggle against the centralized Pull
man capitalists. The trade union
bureaucracy within and without the
A. F, of l.. is responsible for the
criminal split Of the railroad workers
and for the unorganized status of the
overwhelming majority of the slaves
of railroad capital. The white pref
udices of the labor aristocracy and
its corrupt leadership are responsible
for the fact that the Negro railroad
workers are excluded from the trade
unions of the white railroad work
ers.
Narrow-minded craft and race pref
udices are the leading principles of
the standard" railroad trade unions
But it must be stated that the present
Randolph Webster leadership Of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
shares the responsibility with the
white bureaucracy of the railroad
unions. The Randolph Webster lead
ership did not make any serious eff
fort to combat the craft and race
prejudices of the white labor aristo-
cracy. Quite the contrary. They ac-

Statement Of the Central Executive
Committee of the Workers (Com-
munisO Party

munist) Party
The strike of the Pullman porters
was called off by leaders of the Broth
crhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The
movement of the Pullman porters,
which created the largest single trade
union of Negro workers, is of great
significance, and the betrayal of the
militant strike movement of these
Negro workers is of great import for
the whole labor movement and for the
entire working class of this country.
The very existence of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters bellies
theg SANDER of the corrupt white bu-
reaucracy of the American Fedora
ton of Labor that Negro workers can
not be organized. The splendid fight
ing spirit shown by the practically
unanimous strike vote of the organ
lied Pullman porters is a flaming
indictment of the Randolph Webster
leadership of the Brotherhood and of
the bureaucracy of the A. F. of L.
which choked the strike before it
cOulu develop.
Is the Strike Necessary?
The conditions of the Pullman port
ers are unbearable. They work 400
hours a month. The wealthy Pull
man Company forces the porters to
work under a disgraceful, humiliat-
ing tip system. A fight against the
13-hour day and Tor the establish
ment of an 8-hour day, struggle
against the tip system and for the
establishment of decent wages is an
imperative, pressing necessity for the
Pullman porters.
Determined struggle trike-is
the order of the day for the workers
on the Pullman cars. OnOly by means
of a powerful mass organization, Of
militant leadership, of a fighting
policy will the Pullman porters be
able to extract any improvement of
their conditions and the recognition
of their union from the Pullman cap
italists.
