Tom Mooney has appealed thru the
International Labor Defense to the
workers of America to raise their
voices to bring about the liberation Of
Warren Billings and himself from the
California prisons where they have
been confined for nearly IL years on
framed-up charges. a
In the summer Of 1916, a bitter
struggle was raging in San Fran
cisco between the bosses, organized
in the Chamber of Commerce and the
workers in the trade unions. Strikes
were the order of the day. The build
ing trades workers, steamboat work
ers, longshoremen, cooks and carmen
were fighting for existence. A state
of open warfare existed. The strikes
were featured by violence, shooting,
clubbing and murder.
Grafters in Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce raised
a fund of a million dollars to crush

party in the LaFollette movement of
1924 marks the end of this period
in the life of the socialist party. Up
until 1924 there was a more or less
strong left wing within the socialist
party. The open letter | wrote to
Eugene Debs ("Underground Radical
ism") rightly characterized the So
cialist party of that time as house
divided in itself, as a party of two
wings without a body. Our Party
used correct tactics toward the So
cialist party, offering a united front
with its left wing as against it's right
wing. Only the Loreites in our ranks
opposed these tactics, solely for the
reason that they felt themselves so
near to the socialists that they did
not dare make any united front with
any section of the socialist party.
A Petty Bourgeois Party.
The transformation of the socialist
party from an opportunist mass par
ty, which claimed to be a party of
the working class, into an anti-pro-
letarian, petty bourgeois party has
been consummated. There is no justi-
fication for continuing our united
front tactics with the socialist party
in the old form. 1t is no longer ne
cessary to appeal to the leaders of
the socialist party or to any left
wing (Which no longer exists) in the
socialist party. Any united front at
tempt must assume the form of a
direct appeal to the working class,
rank and file followers of the social
list party over the head of the party
itself and of its leadership. We must
sharpen our attitude toward the So
cialist party. In our agitation and
propaganda we must treat it as an
anti-proletarian and pro-capitalist or
ganization. In our election tactics
we must follow as a general rule

The Transformation of the Socialist Party

the shallowest and silliest pacifist
theology about the imperialist war.
1t helps American imperialism to
conceal the looming imperialist war
danger. 1t is now definitely clear
that the formation of labor party
in America can be brought about only
against the A. F. Of L. and the So
cialist party.
Must Expose Socialists.
The members Of our party must
take cognizance of the Transformation
of the socialist party. We must ex-
plain this basic change to the whole
working class. We must sharpen our
attitude toward the socialist party.
That is the only effective way to
take away the last true proletarian
followers Of the socialist party. Our
party must be aware of the real stu
alton, which is fundamentally diff
ferent from the situation in most Of
the European countries. In Europe
the socialist parties are powerful
mass parties, and one Of the basic
tasks of our Communist parties there
is to carry out ife-and-death strug-
gle with them for the masses, for the
majority of the working class. In
America the problem of approaching
the masses, of conquering the ma
iority of the working class, presents
itself in a different form. The So
cialist party of America must be ex-
posed; its last remnants must be era
dicated from the American labor
movement; but the winning over of
the proletarian masses for Communi-
ism has very little to do with the
socialist party. The main road to the
masses of the working class leads
over the head of the socialist party.
It leads to the trade unions and even
more directly to the vast masses Of
unorganized workers.

S. In the most important trades
the outstanding example is that of
the needle trades-wheCe the socialist
party had a real influence, the Com
munist Party has been able to de-
feat the socialist party; and today
not the socialist party but the Com
munist Party is the dominating fac
tor in the needle. trades as far as the
masses are concerned.
6. In the. most important mass
movements of the American working
class at present-which are bound
to decide the whole fate of the Amer
lean labor movement for the imme-
date future-such as the heroic
struggle of the miners and the de-
veloping movements in the textile
and shoe industries, the socialist par
ty as a party has not played any
role at all. It's membership stands
apart from the struggle, and the So
cialist party leadership is backing the
infamous Lewis machine.
7. In its present election campaign
the SoclallSt party is making frantic
and hectic attempts to abandon the
last remnants of its old form of
membership organization and trans
form it into a ward organization of
voters, aping the old capitalist par
ties.
These are the most significant fea-
lures of the transformation of the
socialist party. There is no longer
anything left of that socialist party
which at least claimed to be a party
of the working class and the class
struggle. Debs carried to his grave
the last remnants of socialist party
militancy. The socialist party today
is the worst slanderer of the Work
ers' Republic in Russia. 1t fights the
battles of Green and Matthew Vol

In September, Billings was convict

which he did not present in full at
the trial of Billings, showing the
MONEYS on the roof of the Eiler
Building, mile and a quarter away
from the scene of the explosion, with
the parade in progress below. A clock
in the picture showed the exact time
the explosion occurred, with the
MONEYS on the roof in full view!
Despite these now famous photo
graphs, Mooney was convicted on
February 9. Only two witnesses were
presented by the state claiming to
have seen the Moneys at Stuart and
Market Streets just previous to the
explosion. Both Frank Oman and
Macdonald were proven frauds. The
first even was tried for perjury and
saved from Jail by official whitewash.
\ Judge Griffin sentenced Mooney to
