Introduction to international
Experiences in Strike Strategy"
based on the resolutions of the
Strassbourg Conference. - Labor
Unity, April 6.)
The class conscious and militant
section of the American working
class, under the leadership of the
Trade Union Educational League,
the U. S. section of the R. /. L. u,
has in recent months made a good
= in some instances even brilliant
beginning - in the leadership of
mass strikes and organization cam
paigns. In other instances the R. l.
L. U. adherents have exercised great
influence in mass struggles and laid
the basis for future leadership even
though, because of certain weak
nesses, the leadership did not pass
into their hands during the actual
course of the strikes. Everyone of
these struggles has brought to the
fore elementary questions Of strike
strategy.
The coal mining industry, both in
the Middle West and South and in
Colorado, has been the scene of big
class conflicts. The workers in the
textile industry, in both the North
and South, have engaged in big
struggles since the last r. U. r. L.
Conference. Especially in the South,
as in Gsetonia, N. c., where Fred
Beal, Vera Bush, Louis McLaugh-
lin, Russell Knight and eleven other
organizers and members of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union face
the executioners of the government
of the new capitalist class of the
South because of their work in
building this militant union, have
tremendous problems been raised in
the course of the strugglc. The mass
shoe workers strike in and around
Boston, the strikes of the needle
trades and food workers in New
York City, have brought forth spe-
cial strategic and tactical issues.
In the marine transport industry
the R. I. L. U. adherents have
grouped around their organization q

Miners to Hold Big De-

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Aug. 10
"The 16 Gastonia defendants must
not go the same way as Sacco-Van-
zetti" is the cry of the workers in
the Anthracite mine f e | d s of
Pennsylvania, who will be at the
Gastonia conference to be held on
August 81, 1929 at $50 p. m. at
FOG South Main Street, Wilkes
Barre, Pa.
In the anthracite section are thou
sands of textile workers working
long hours for little pay. Soon they
will have fight to organize union
and to fight against the brutality
of the Pennsylvania police. Many
organizations have already sent in
their credentials, many more have
elected delegates. All organizations
are asked to help in the fight for
the right to organize militant unions
and the right to defend workers
against the brutality of the police
and other thugs of the bosses.
The anthracite district of the In
ternational Labor Defense, which
sent out the call has been defending
the miners and other workers ar
rested in the strikes in this section.
Many cases are coming up in the
courts. All workers must come to
the Gastonia Conference.

The workers walked out 100 per cent
and there has been no break in their
ranks since the beginning of the
strike.
The bosses refused to allow the
workers, who are members of an en-
ployers' benevolent association, to
transform it into Brushmakers
Union. They engaged strikebreak-
ers and private detectives in an at
tempt to break the strike. They
also threaten to secure an injunction
against the strikers. but that has not
frightened the militant workers.
Paid for Jobs.
The scabs, who have been recruited
from employment agencies on Sixth
Ave-, Manhattan, have not been sue
cessful in doing the work of the
strikers. The seabs are being paid
SIS a day and are given free lunch
and are brought to and from this
plant in automobiles. Many of the
strike breakers paid the agencies as
high as SO for the jobs.
The picketing has antagonized the
bosses, whose private detectives are
trying to create the impression that
they are city policemen. City po-
lice in uniform are also on hand to
do their duty for the bosses.
The plants output is very costly
under the present system of produc-
ton. In a few days the scabs will
be asked to work on piece work
which it is believed they will resist
by joining the strikers.

Because the dye works and arti-

The manner in which these trans
port workers have responded to the
appeal for aid from the Gastonia
workers large mass meetings in
various ports, New York especially,
distribution of literature dealing
with the struggle in the South, etc.,
shows That the marine workers al
ready have grasped, to an extent
that needs to serve as an example
in some other r. l. l.. U. sections,
the fundamental necessity for
broadening all struggles and the ba-
sis of all successful strike strategy
- "the inter-relations of the eco
nomic and political struggles"
In the automobile industry strike
struggles are increasing both in
frequency and in numbers of work
ers directly involved. The bitterly
fought strike of the street car men
in New Orleans, resulting in open
conflict with forces of the federal
government, !; ows that the burden
of naturalization, of increased eco
nomic and political pressure upon
the masses which goes hand in hand
with other open preparations for a
new imperialist war, is affecting
certain sections of workers hitherto
considered as specially privileged.
All of these struggles must be
regarded as the preliminary en-
gagements presaging others involy-
! ing much larger masses of workers.
All of these struggles have been rich
in experiences for great numbers
of workers and for active R. |. l..
U. adherents. "a summing up of
experiences is the most important
step towards the most effective
leadership for the coming strug-
gles.' This is undoubtedly the main
task of the Trade Union Unity Con-
vention to be held in Cleveland, Au-

the R. I. L. u, will have to, on the
basis Of the rich concrete expert
enees of the last two years, in the
United States and internationally,
work out a line of strategy for the
entire movement.
This work will have to be done in
such a manner that the decisive
problems dealt with will be handled
so that they can be understood by
every worker and their practical So
luton in terms OF everyday strug-
gle serve as a guide for the far
more decisive class conflicts whose
rumblings are already to be heard.

The Echo de Paris, which has been
the most vitriolic critic of Snowden

now turned its guns on Premier Bri-

major political mistake in not reach
ing an agreement with Britain be-
fore going to the Hague conference.
This is taken to indicate the dis
pleasure of a certain section of the
French imperialists because the
Hague conference has brought into
sharp relief the antagonisms be-
tween the various countries and ex-
posed to the masses the imperialist
war preparations going on behind
the mask of peace treaties.

CHICAGO LABOR
FAKERS FIGHT
CASTOR DEFENSE
Workers Mobilize for
Tag Days

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The Chi
cago Federation Of Labor is using
every local publication as well as
the so-called Voice of Labor radio
station in a vicious attempt to
cripple the campaign for the freeing
of the textile strikers from the
clutches of the capitalist state. They
are denouncing consistently the at
tehpts of the militant section of
the working class here to mobilize
the whole working class in the fight
against the agents of the mill own
ers in North Carolina.
Such activity, however, is simply
an indication that the bureaucracy
of the A. F. of L. senses in this
campaign a movement among the
workers as a whole-organized and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the reformist
policies and strike-breaking tactics
of that organization. This move
ment finds its expression just now
in preparations on grand scale for
the carrying thru of a laundering
campaign for $4,000 for defense and
relief of the Gastonia strikers in
Chicago.
At a joint meeting of the Chi
cago locals of the International La
Dor Defense and the Workers Inter
national Relief, the following COM
mittee for the carrying thru of the
campaign was elected: Rubicki, And
rulis, Horzich, Greenspoon, Beigler,
Schultz, Adamson, Kratochvil,
Vasys, Shaw, Smith, Burlant, MAJ
rak, Morris, Hirschler, Nowakow-
sky, Slutsky, Zurich, and Bitten
field.
The campaign will open with a
mass demonstration in conjunction
with the Sacco-V anzetti meeting on
August % at Peoples Auditorium,
2457 W. Chicago Avenue, where
Amy Schechter and Vera Bush will
speak. The committee believes that
it can best commemorate t h e
martyrdom of Sacco and Vanzetti by
saving the Gastonia workers from
a similar fate.
The campaign will be further
carried out through factory-gate
meetings at noon before the largest
plants in Chicago and through
street meetings in proletarian neigh
borhoods, at which speakers will ac-
quaint the Chicago workers with
conditions in Gastonis. A mass con-
ference in the middle of September
will mark the climax of the cam
paign.
The most important activity of
the ten-day drive will be the tag
days on August "a and 25 and on
August 81 and September / and 2.
Not only members of the II. L. d.
and w. /. R. will participate in these
tag days, but also sympathizing
workers from every part of the city.
Stations for the distribution of
materials will be located at the fol-
lowing places: 10701 Stephenson

and for the trade union organization
by the U. S. s. R. After taking con-
troll Of the C. E. R., they first dis
solved the trade unions, deported the
leaders of the workers and dis
charged large number of the work
ers. They abolished all the labor
regulations, as they were Red regu-
lations.
"Workers throughout the whole
country! AS we know, the workers
of the C. E. R., under the protection
of the labor legislation of the U. S.
S. R., have realized the S-hour day
system, the increasing of wages to
twice as much as you get in Chinese
or foreign enterprises. They have
got, also, the supply of water, cleo
tricity and fine dormitories, protec-
ton and compensation to the aged
and injured workers from the rail
way. They have absolute freedom
of organization of trade unions.
"All of these interests of the
workers, the Chinese workers fought
for but could not get. If the Kuom-
intang says that such treatment of
the workers is the "Red Propaganda
of the U. S. S. R." and we must
fight against them, then it is clear
that the Kuomintang is not "pat-
riotic," but only the enemy Of the
workers. Of course, their treason"
for being against the U. S. S. r. is
but nonsense. They have really their
own depressing policy to exploit the
workers, and this shows us that the
Kuomintang militarists have united
with imperialism to make a war
upon the workers throughout the
whole country.
"When the Kuomintang sent
troops to occupy the c. E. R. and
So shops, The workers of the C. F.
R. prepared for a general strike.
This is the only way FOR them to
protect their own interests: the ex-
istence of the trade unions and call
ing upon the workers throughout
China to fight against the savage
suppression by imperialism and the
Kuomintang.
"The All-China Labor Federation
expresses its respect for the fight
ing spirit of the workers on the c..
E. R., and we call upon the workers
in the whole of China to support the
workers on the C. E. R., because they
are fighting for their interests and
the freedom of organization Of trade
union, which is also our lighting aim.
Therefore, their victory is our vic
tory and their failure our failure.
"The Kuomintang suppresses and
exploits the workers only in order
to prolong its own life, and we must
therefore Immediately raise our
fighting courage, mobilize our forces
and make brave and more decisive
fight against our enemy. Only by
this can we support and liberate the
workers of the C. E. r. and protect
ourselves.
"The All-China Labor Federation
calls upon all workers of the diff
ferent industries and localities to
support the fight Of the workers of
the c. E. r. and to protect and fight
against the Kuomintang suppression
Of the workers on the C. +. R. When
you mobolize to support the workers
of the c. E. R., it means you are
attacking an enemy and protecting
your interests. as well as fighting
for freedom of organization of trade
unions.
