Labor Takers Aid AntiLab0r Politicians

effective antidote for the world court
He promised to lick the King of Eng
land and began to organize his Amer
lea First Foundation which was des-
tined to sweep the country. He ad-
vocated relief for flood sufferers and
supported good old-style pork-bar-
rel flood-control bill in congress. He
advocated the building of deep water
ways and efficient air ports. He al
most visioned himself as the next
incumbent in the white house. With
the backing of the insult millions,
this clique seemed almost invincible.
Labor Misleaders Aid.
The labor officialdom of the state
began to apply the traditional A. F.
of L. political policy, stretching it
to its broadcast possible ramifications.
The officials of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor, the official machine
of the miners union, all of them en-
dorsed the Small Thompson-C Grove
Smith clique all the way down the
line, and recommended them as true
friends of labor. The Wage Farmers
League of Chicago, an aggregation of
union officials, even went them one
better in endorsing Charles H. Weber,
running for the general assembly
against Agnes Nestor, secretary of
the Women's Trade Union League.
Weber ran on record of helping to
defeat the women's eight hour bill.
AS to the candidates endorsed by
the labor officials as true friends of
labor, the following are but a few
examples:
First, Governor Small, who, when
state treasurer, failed to account for
sums perhaps mounting into millions,
Tor interest on state money and for
which he has since been ordered by
the courts to pay back to the state
S650,000. Under Governor SmalPs
administration, state jobs were free
ly given out to contractors using non
union labor exclusively. Under his
administration, hundreds of miles OF
hard roads were built under abso-
lutely non-union conditions, workers
being employed at 40 cents an houl
and working 10 hours day.
Aid Smith.
Frank L. Smith was endorsed as
the candidate for senator by the
Labor officialdom in spite of the fac
that after the 1926 primaries he was
found guilty by the special senate in
vestigation committee of having re-
ceived $237,935 in slush funds from
the insult corporation, and numerous
smaller sums from other employers.

for governor, is an important share
holder in several great open shop
concerns in the state. Otis F. Glenn,
the winning candidate for senator,
was the prosecuting attorney against
the Herrin, Illinois miners. All the
winning candidates are definitely
anti-labor and enjoy the support of
the great majority of the Chicago
capitalist press, of the manufacture
ers and of the bankers.
Workers Misled.
The labor officials who so freely
gave their endorsement to the corrupt
Small Thompson-Smith-C Grove clique
perhaps now will proclaim this pri-
mary election as a defeat for labor.
This is not so. While the overwhelm-
ing vote for the Small Thompson OPP
ponents administered a defeat to the
labor officials with their policy of
supporting of so-called labor friends,
so far as the rank and file working
class is concerned the victory of the
one crooked capitalist clique over the
other will make no difference. Yet
the tremendous republican vote shows
the extent of working class illusions
in regards to the capitalist political
parties. The development Of labor
party would thus become one impor-
tant step away from these illusions
and one step toward political con-
seriousness.
1t cannot be expected that the labor
officials with their bankrupt political
policy will do anything whatever to
advance the political consciousness of
labor, organized or unorganized. We
cannot look to them for any support
for a labor party. They have shown
themselves definitely as its enemies.
1t remains for the rank and file work.

ness of the workers, give real sup
port for the building of labor par
ty, take up the issues of meeting the
employers offensive, strengthening
the rank and file coal miners in their
struggle, fighting for relief for the
unemployed and for better conditions
for factory workers, fighting to
smash the injunction evil, and fight
ing for the complete abolition of the
capitalist system.
The working class of Illinois will
be asked to support the Workers Par
ty candidates on the basis of these
issues. 1t will be asked to cast its
vote on class lines.

reduction for the Chicago street car
workers in 1922. He was barred from
the senate for corrupt practices.
The Labor officials endorsed John
Daley, as candidate for attorney
general! This is the same Daley who,
proceeding the Chicago Lands awards
fight, formed a Chicago commission
anil headed the investigation into the
building trades unions, made scream
ing publicity against the unions and
effccti lively prepared the basis for the
enforcement Of the Lands award.
The labor officials further en-
dorsed for candidate for state attor-
ncy Robert F.. Grove. During the
Ladies Garment Workers strike,
Grove held Office and furnished pol
ice for protection of scabs. Indeed,
in 1924 Groves entire labor record
in the Chicago Ladies Garment Work
ers strike became so hostile, that
the Chicago Federation of Labor pub
lishcd special issue of the official
paper Of the Federation, devoted to
exposing Grove. They charged that
Grove had turned over the states

employers association and their in
junction attorney, Dudley E. Taylor.

unveiled threat to break the back of

ed by the wheat king" James Pat
ton, and the employers association.
These Labor officials never raised
one single labor issue or questioned
the candidates as to their stand. To-
day almost 100000 coal miners face
a life and death struggle for the
maintenance of their standards and
the existence of their union, which
is being fiercely attacked by the
operators aided by the reasonable
miners officials. Today the injunc-
ton abuse is running rampant thru
out the state despite the fact that
the so-called injunction limitation law
is supposed to be enforced. Every
dispute of labor against capital dur
ing the last few years has found
ever more drastic labor injunctions.
Today unemployment in the state of
Illinois and particularly in Chicago
has become as high as during the
depression of 1920-21 with nothing
whatever done by the authorities to-
wards unemployment relief. Today
factory workers are employed under
constantly increasing speed-up condi-
tons, low wages and long hours. The
employers are preparing a general
offensive against labor and the labor
unions, already so clearly shown in
the fight against the miners. The
Labor officials never raised any OF
these issues, never at one time pro-
posed any labor candidates or the
need for building labor party.
Anti-Labor Records.
Their policy was blanket endorse
ment of one particular corrupt repub-
lican clique. Some of the candidates
of this clique had tried to pose as
labor friends but all of them, as well
as their republican opponents, were
pledged to the program of +he repub-
lican party which is definitely anti
labor and for capitalism. This does
not mean that the candidates of the
democratic primaries were any better,
since they too were pledged to an en-
tirely anti-labor program. This ac-
ton of the labor officials represents
an endeavor to make labor merely an
adjunct to the capitalist parties, to
leave the workers entirely a prey in
the claws of their class enemies
the capitalist class and the capitalist
politicians.
The candidates winning the repub-
lican nominations, of course, are in
no way different from those who
were defeated, except perhaps, that
they do not try to pose as labor's
friends, but stand openly for their
capitalist policies. Louis Emmerson,

BY ARNE SWABECK

At the April 10 Illinois primary
elections, a number of so-called labor
friends were showed under by an
avalanche of hostile votes. The Small
Thompson Smith Grove republican
CLIQUE suffered the worst defeat OF
its career. The much-heralded "Am-
erica First" ship was sunk, but as
the smoke of the battle is clearing
away, one question now becomes OF
first rate Importance:
Does Labor, and particularly its
organized section, begin to perceive
the reasonable character of the poll
teal policy pursued by the trade
union officialdom, of supporting
'Labor's friends" and furnishing its
enemies, on the capitalist party tick
cts? Certainly in these primaries the
bankruptcy of that policy was ex-
posed.
Huge Stakes.
While an anxious world was hold
ing its breath preparing to watch
Chicago shooting it's way to the polls,
the primary fight showed the mad
scramble of the various corrupt poll
teal cliques to capture the alluring
offices. The stakes were great for
the capitalist politicians. There were
the immense omnibus bills passed by
the last legislature, making nearly
100 million dollars available for
state administrative purposes. There
was the immense Cook County budget
mounting into millions of dollars, and
the immense payroll for thousands
Of political hangers-on, in addition
to the right of state and county pat
ronage dispensing.
Governor Small, Bill Bill Thomp-
son, former senator-elect Frank l..
Smith and State Attorney Robert E
Grove, had succeeded in patching up
their jealous differences, organized
an air-tight clique and reached out
for complete political control of the
state. The insult slush funds of fame
in the 1926 primaries made unity pos
sible. The price to be paid to the
insult corporation was to be a perpe-
tual franchise Of the Chicago trac-
ton system, increased rates for street
car and elevated fares, as well as
the building of subway to be oper-
ated by insult. There were millions
of dollars of additional profit in pros
pect for this corporation.
Big Bill Thompson during the 1926
primaries jumped into questionable
sort of fame by issuing the slogan

The tobacco manufacturing COM
panies, according to the Wall Street
Journal, have just closed the most

City garages made by the Workers
Health Bureau in 1926 only three of
seventeen garages reported that their
employees received one days rest in
seven.
Eight of the seventeen gave no
day off during the month.
"The code provides for the enforce
ment of the one-day rest in seven law
in all garages and recommends the
40-hour week wherever workers are
organized. City Centrals are urged
to use these standards as arguments
for building up powerful union of
garage workers, as this is an indus

Seats on the New York stock ex-
change entitle their owners to a place
on the floor of the exchange, where
they buy and sell stocks and bonds
either for their private profit or for
the profit of their clients.
No economic values are created on
the stock exchange. Brokers who buy
and sell and clients who order secur-
tiles bought and sold do so chiefly
in an effort to get something for
nothing. 1t is a gambling game in
which the stakes run into millions.
Gambling is an old game. Men have

one man willing to pay $375,000 for
the privilege of representing other
