The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-11-20

More than ever before the world situation
imposes mighty task upon the working class
of the United 1tates. There must be re-
lentless struggle against American i'm
perialsm and all its institutions. The great
basic industries of the country now manned
by unorganized masses at the mercy Of the
bosses must be made the objective Of in
tensive organizational drives. Powerful in
dustrial unions must be created that will be
able to grip the very base of supplies for the
war machine.
Courageous, etermined revolutionary
workers in every section of the armed forces
of the nation will be able to bring into con-
seriousness the discomfort and disillusion-
ment and turn these into revolutionary fury
against the war-mongers.
Only revolutionary defiance can adequately
answer the war screenings of the imperialist
puppet, Coolidge, as he prepares to turn the
office of president of the United States over
to more capable butcher. Herbert Hoover.

To Sell Out Mexican Labor on Immigration;
the State Dept Watchdog

just as the State Department has
upon the Mexican government.
There was fight in the convention
on the question of Mexican immi-
grafton. The Executive Council
wanted the GROIN and the Mexican
government to voluntarily limit
emigration. The opposition wanted
the congress to apply the quota law,
but the machine won by vote of
1876 to 30. This was the only ques-
ton upon which there was any real
disagreement, and here the opposi-
ton was even more reactionary
than the administration. Green
spoke of international difficulties,
saying that a quota for Canada
would follow one for Mexico, thus
encouraging the Canadian indepen-
dence movement. Also there were
100000 Canadians in the A. F. of
L., and would such a policy be wise?
The bureaucrats have been working
hand in hand with the most reac-
tionary labor-b batting, Red-hunting
elements in congress, who favored
limitation of $4,000 annually from
each country to the U. S. They
unanimously voted to approve the
prohibition of Asiatic immigration.
to Hawaii, fearing that they would
then come to the U. S.
Labor Policy of the Bureaucracy.
The fundamental task of labor
movement in a country where less
than one-tenth Of the workers are
organized would seem to be the or
ganization of the unorganized. The
Workers (Communist) Party, thru
it's factory nucleus in Ford's, had
been able to gain $4,000 readers for
its factory paper. Yet the numer-
Gus A. F. of L. organizers in De-
troit were completely unable to or
ganize any of the auto factories in
the city, despite the decision Of the
1926 convention to organize the auto
industry. The Executive Council re-
ported to the convention. that tvl
conferences had been held at head
quarters, but the net result of the
years work was that 1--WE are not
in position to report in detail upon
this campaign" The convention of
the metal trades department had
passed a resolution to organize the
aircraft factories, and the A. F. of
l.. convention voted to "organize"
the southern textile workers, upon
the plea of faker Mcmahon, of the
United Textile Workers, who stated
that there were over a million tex
tile workers in the south, working
55 hours for practically no wages"
No practical steps were taken, how
ever, and the experience in organ

swept the republicans into power, can have
but one meaning. 1t means that the election
of Hoover signalizes new, more aggressive
imperialist policy than even that frightful-
ness and cynicism which has characterized
the present administration. AS far as it was
directed toward Continental Europe, it is
an open bid to ALLEVIATE those countries from
British influence and compel them to re-
orientate themselves so that they may be
allies of American imperialism in it's fight
against Britain. Briefly it means that Amer
lean foreign policy as it relates to Europe
will be aggressively directed toward wrest-
ing leadership of European reaction from the
hands of Britain.
In every way and on every front American
imperialism is plunging headlong toward en-
other world holocaust, with the greedy and
avaricious ruling class of this country
already in state of hysteria at the pros
poets that it's blood -becouded vision rorceives
before it.

passed the extremely reactionary
New York State Federation of La
Dor, was unanimously repudiated.
The fact that this was also a repu-
diation Of the policy adopted by tie
July congress of the Pan-American
Federation Of Labor made no diff
ference. A mild resolution favor
ing Philippine independence was
adopted, but no practical steps
taken to carry it out. A resolution
on "Hands off China" referred
from the hotel and restaurant work
ers' convention, was accidentally"
left cut Of the proceedings.
A. F. of L. and State Department.
The relations of the A. F. of L.
to Amsterdam correspond pretty
much to those between the U. S.
State Department and the League
of Nations. In both cases observers
are sent to mold policy and to unite
against revolutionary organizations.
Various A. F. of L. unions such as
the machinists, coal miners, ETC.,
have been allowed to affiliate with
Amsterdam, but the correspondence
between Green and Oudegeest was

another of Green's lieutenants, had
been appointed by him represen-
tative to the Geneva Economic Con-
ference, in order to help depress the

in his report to the Executive Coun-
Gil. He was enthusiastic about

ration, and attacked the Soviet

against this naturalization policy.

In reply to Green we say: There can be
no compromise with you and your associated
flunkeys of capitalism who have done every
thing in your power to destroy the labor
movement of this country. Against you and
the class you serve and in spite of you we will
instill class hatred into the masses so that
they may be able effectively to wage the class
struggle until capitalism and all its labor
lieutenants have been destroyed

If anyone is so innocent as to
think that the A. F. of l.. conven-
ton, in session now in New Orleans,
will do any thing constructive, he is
referred to the 1927 convention.
The decisions of last year indicate
fully, though probably modestly, in
comparison with the performance
they will put on this year, what
will be done. We have therefore
reviewed the high spots of last
years convention as an introduce
ton to the carnival of betrayal now
about to open.
The 47th convention Of the
American Federation of Labor took
place during the first two weeks of
October, 1927, in Los Angeles. The
previous record of reaction which
has made the A. F. of l.. notorious
throughout the world was far sur
passed in the degenerate revel into
which the convention developed.
The bureaucrats there not only ex-
PEELED Communists, but also had
radicals and Communists arrested,
and threatened the latter with
years of Imprisonment.
A priest opened the convention,
and was followed by senators, gov
errors, cabinet members, etc.-all

that President Green could obtain.
Campaign Against Communists.
The atmosphere was charged with
hostility to the working class from
the first statement by the executive
council to the press, guaranteeing
that no Communists would be per-
nlitted to participate in the conven-
ton. All the welcoming speeches
praised the bureaucracy as the
greatest enemy of radicalism. The
Los Angeles Evening Express"
wrote of the aristocrats; @. they
are not such foes of the open-shop
as they would like to make out"
Comrade Schneiderman, delegate
from the Los Angeles Bookkeepers'
and Office Workers Union, who
was expelled from the convention,
was examined by Vice-President
Vol and Secretary Morrison, the
special committee appointed by the
executive council. Detective Hynes,
head of the police "Red" squad, was
present with them. On Morrison's
desk were documents seized by the
police in these raids. Throughout
the convention Hynes was in con.
slant conversation with the leaders
Of the A. F. of L., who pointed out
to him all the progressives and rad
icals in the gallery.
Green and other delegates went
sightseeing through Southern Cali
fornia in police autos, driven by
uniformed police chauffeurs. A

Misleaders in
the American
Labor Unions
BY WILLIAM q. FOSTER.

The present head of the U. M.
w. A. deserves to rank with John
Mitchell as one of the most powerful
and reactionary leaders in the his
tory of the Miners Union. He halls
from Illinois. He came to power by
the back-door route. He was tech
nical worker for the union. His tool.
the weak Frank J. Hayes, appointed
him vice-president to fill the vacan-
cy made by Hayes himself when he
took Whites place as president,
Lewis then framed-up on Hayes. He
kept him drunk and finally involved
him in a compromising situation
which forced Hayes to resign. Lewis
automatically became president. 1t
was almost Borgian stratagem.
Lewis, among his other doubtful
connections, is national figure in
the republican party.
Lewis regime is curse to the
miners. His first great treason to
them was his failure to organize the
miners during the years 1918 to 1921.
At that time he was the real power
in the union, not Hayes. Had he
been so minded, he could have made
the coal fields of America 100
per cent unionized. Lewis refused to
DO this. He failed to solve the prob
lem Of the non-union districts, and
as result these have rapidly spread
until now non-union miners produce
&c per cent of all bituminous coal.
These conditions are threatening
the very life of the organization.

"Mortals and Immortals" was the
subject Of the Lesson Sermon in all
Churches Of Christ, Scientist, on Sun
day November 18. Golden Text: This
corruptible must put on interruption,
and this mortal must put on immor-
tality" IL Corinthians Is 53). Among
the citations which comprised the Les
son-Sermon was the following from
the Bible: "For we know that if our
earthly house Of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have building of God
an house not made with hands, eternal
III the heavens" (G1 Corinthians q:
ID. The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures by Mary Baker Eddy: I'm
mortal man was and is Gods image or
idea, even the infinite expression Of
infinite Mind, and immortal man is
coeternal with that Mind. He has
been forever in the eternal Mind, God;
but infinite Mind can never be IN
man, but is reflected by man" (p.366).

LEGION TAKES STEP FORWARD
Preparing for Early Start in Strength
ening the Organization


"The American Legion in this De
partment has taken grtat step for
ward this year by getting an early
start in strengthening the organiza-
tion in membership for the busiest
years work in our history" w f.
Matthews, Jr., Department Com
mander Of the Legion declared hefa
in an appeal to Legionnaires who
have not renewed their 1923 memher-
ship to do so at once in a speech on
Armistice Day. American Legion
Week, which started with the Arm
istice Day Address Of the National
Commander, Paul V. McNutt, in a
national hoop-up over the radio in
Washington, a program in which
President Coolidge took part, has in
spired the Legionnaires throughout
the country with the determination to
carry through to success the most I'M
portant program of activities YET
planned by the Legion, according to a
statement from the National Adju-
tant, James F. Barton, at National
Headquarters in Indianapolis" Com
mander Matthews said, '"This Depart
ment must come up to expectations
of headquarters in this movement of
getting the membership signed up for
another year so that more time can
be devoted to work. 1t is an individ-
uaI responsibility of every Legion
naire to help keep this movement go
ing. The first major objective on the
Legion program is to increase the
service to the disabled. Thousands of
war veterans, many of them in our
own communities, should be receiving
the help that a grateful government
has decreed they should in all justice.
Too much time elapses in many cases.
| This is due chiefly to the difficulty of
connecting a mans illness with his
war service As time increases this
will be all the more difficult The
Legion has a great, big job to do in
this alone. Third, is the American
work, community service, the Junior
| Baseball program next summer and
the promotion of good citizenship
| through education National defense
is ever foremost in the Legion's ac-
tivities, and the Universal Draft bill
that would take profit out Of war
must be passed by congress. To do
these things, the Legion must main
tain in 1929 the membership roll Of
/ 1928. BY renewing his membership
| this early, the veteran subscribes to
this program In doing so he is serv-
ing his country in peace time with the
same loyalty that he gave in time Of
war. BY not subscribing, he is shirk-
ing responsibility only himself can
answer for, and his friends will look
upon him in that way"
