ing tempo in the different periods.
Let us divide recent labor history
into four periods, (a) pre-war, (b)
war, (c) postwar, (d) present per-
iod, and the varying tempo of So
cial reformism in the class strug-
gle becomes clearly evident.
In the pre-war era, that is, dur
ing the period of the formation of
the trusts and up to the entrance
of the United States into the world
war, trustified capital relied rela-
lively very little upon social reform
ism, especially in its dealings with
the workers directly in the indus
tries. 1t took directly upon itself
the job of corrupting the labor arts
tocracy and breaking up the move
ments of the semi-skilled and I'M
skilled. 1t drove even the conserva-
tive A. F. of L. unions out of the
trustified industries. The smash
ing of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers in the Homestead strike was
the signal of the pre-war open shop
policy of trustified capital.
Efforts of the workers to organ
lie and strike were met with iron
resistance, not only in the case of
Left unions but also the A. F. of
L., as long record of bloody strikes
testifies, McKees Rocks, Colorado,
West Virginia, Calumet, Lawrence,
etc. In no industrial country did
conservative trade unionism meet
with such violent resistance as in
the United States. The American
capitalists were strong enough to do

3. The Question of Decline and Crisis.

During the periods of the more
open capitalist dictatorship social
reformist organizations may and
sometimes do go into decline and
crisis.
This has been the situation with
the A. F. Of l.. for several years
Such organizations may even be de-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-20

stroyed altogether, if the open
forms of the capitalist dictatorship
are severe and prolonged.
In such periods, the social demo-
cracy, always the willing tool of the
employers, makes frantic efforts,
through all sorts Of concessions and
treachery, to win back the support
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-20

what does this imply for the old
trade unions? Does it mean re-
building of the A. F. of L. on
mass scale, with millions of workers
pouring into and revolutionizing the
old craft unions, as Comrade Pepper
has in mind; does it mean the re-
construction of the A. F. of L. as
skilled workers organization of
more or less traditional type, as
Comrade Bittelman appears to
think; or does it, as l have pointed
out in my articles land as the theses
of both the Majority and Minority,
now discarded, indicate) mean the
continued decline of old line trade
unionism and its gradual transfer
nation into company unionized
type of unionism, somewhat akin to
fascist unionism, with the A. F. of
L. bureaucracy playing a leading
role in it?

The central issue involved in the

my article in the current number of
"The Communist" deals primarily
with the role of social reformism in
the class struggle and it's relation to

therefore, to consider this matter
first and subsidiary questions later.

reformism are basically the same.

THE FTREMEN CALL

Ell Centro has not as yet reached the stage where
it can afford permanent paid fire department. and it
is therefore dependent it has been since it was
founded volunteer organization.
Since the earliest days here the fire department
in it eagerly sought by leading citizens when the
city in the pioneer stage. Many of these still
remain active in the affairs of the department. Others
have ceased active duty but cling proudly to their
membership.
AS far as efficiency is concerned the city does
not suffer because the fire department is on volun-
teer basis. But this efficiency is not achieved or
maintained without considerable sacrifice of time and
money by those who when the fire siren calls
The small compensation paid them by the city
does not begin to pay for the clothes that are
ruined in the of years duty. The loss to the
fremen in neglecting their business to alarms
and the protection they have always given the city has
placed Ell Centro under lasting debt to them
Once each year the firenlen ask Ell Centrans for
financial help through their annual ball, and in
this they give full return for the money given them
The money obtained goes into fund provide for
the upkeep of the fire headquarters and to take
of any members who may be disabled while duty.
Ell Centre should be glad and anxious to respond
to this anual call. This year in fact only few
weeks ago = the firemen turned down legitimate
money making proposition which guaranteed to
return them four thousand dollars, because they did
not feel that the people of Ell Centre could stand the
expense involved. The proposition offered them has
been accepted by fire departments volunteer and paid
in many cities of California. When it explained
to them the entire bunch of sokeeaters shook their
heads and said, eve could use the money and would
like to have it. but know it is not the best thing for
Ell Centro pass it up"
We know this to be the truth and information
did not from the fire department. Perhaps
will be scotched for making it known but believe
the people of Ell Centre entitled to know it.
Ell Centro canot overlook loyalty and thoughtful
Of this kind 1t just about doubles the debt the city
owes the fremen. Businessmen and individuals might
we'll keep it in mind when they asked in the fire
mems way, to help them They might also keep
in mind what the fire department may mean to them
personally almost any day if it happened that its
services are needed.

CHICAGO - FINS

We hereby abandon all hope for any Improvement
in Chicago's condition.
Following last weeks outrage, great, hue and
cry went out from the windy City that the end of
gang rule had come. The police were to war on the
ganpster, giving and expecting quarter.
Like others in various parts OF the country, we be-
lieved Chicago meant it this time.
Yesterdays news dispatches indicate we were GER
tainly mistaken in our belief
One "Polack joe Salts, leader of gang to
which Chicago frankly attributes many of its most
brutal murders, finished serving sixty day jail SEN
tence Yesterday The sentence for carrying con-
cealed weapon. mighty stiff sentence that, for
known murderer.
When "Polack Joe" released from Jail, two
automobiles full of Chicago policemen were waiting
for him the door, Even Joe figured ne was to face
some new charge. Not however. The policemen
were there to protect him from other gangsters.
Two full squads of policemen, at time when every
bluecoat was supposed to be busy engaged in running
down clues on the Valentine Day massacre and in en-
forcing resulting cleanup removed from these
non-essentia duties to act bodyguard for gang
ster in reality they supplemented couple of Joes
own henchmen who were at the jail door to greet
him undoubtedly with guns their persons.
If that isn't enough to make the proverbial horse
laugh we'll give up Anyhow give UP Chicago and its
ludicrous attempts to reform.
