REFoRMIsM IN NEW MEXICO.
By JORGE

REFORMISM IN NEW MEXICO
We are hereby petitioning, the Workers
Library, Incorporated, dessicated and more
than half evaporated, to lay down boycott
against the Progress Builders of America"
whose whereabouts at last reports were at
Roswell, New Mexico
What's the matter? Are we anti-progress?
Do we, as Lovestone or the N. Y. Times ut
matters little which, says, reject the united
front? Nay, nay, brother! But there are
limits to our patience.
For example: We picked up little paper
"The Progress Builder" published by some
ambitious scoundrels, who conduct "coopera-
tive colony down along the ella Monster
Route, and find the following:
"Read-'Victorious Socialist Construction
price rs cents. The Progress Builders of
America, Roswell, America"
And above that it said:
GAIL down through the ages =. man has
dreamed of Utopia, The Cooperative Com
monwealth.' 1t has remained for Russia alone
to make the great experiment upon national
scale. However, it is now possible through
the Progress Builders, to create our dream
home and ideal social conditions here in Amer
lea through our Colony Units. New Hope,
Mississippi, is now being formed with man.
ager now in charge and call is hereby made
with some means and unlimited faith. Cash
members and dollar per month men can make
this real dream home"
There is much more in the sheet of the
same character; batting of workers and poor
farmers with the pamphlet victorious So
cialst Construction" written by Bill Foster,
who is enjoying the air in Tammany's eco
operative colony" over on Harris Island.
The unwary who fall for this line of crap
are made to believe that they can get the
benefits of a rroletarian revolution without
making one. We think we shall send the
Progress Builder" to Foster and let him take
a shot at the idea.
THE l. W. W. GOES FISH
In the port of Philadelphia, the 1 w. W.
has been asleep nearly as long as Rip Van
Wrinkle. But it has suddenly shown signs
of life. Looking closer we see that the
"life" is only maggots crawling over it.
1t has published leaflet for longshoremen,
in English and Polish, and playing to the
backward Catholic elements among the Polish
workers who enough as it is under the
influence of fascsm and religion, the I.W.W.
seeks, instead of enlightening these workers
and dispelling the reactionary pre- udices
which hinder their class consciousness from
developing and expressing itself in action, to
nourish these prejudices and use them against
the class interests of these same Polish work
ers.
What else can one make of the following:
"The IW.W. is against any politcianss
attempt to organize Labor Unions to war
against Churches and Governments, and
this is the hidden program of the Commu-
nists."
This is a perfect example of socal-fascism.
Fish, for example, makes no pretense of COW
ering his counter Revolutionary attack on the
working class. He is openly fascist. Openly
speaks for the capitalists
The IWW. does the same work as fascist
Fish. Only it tries to cover it with veneer
Of "labor unionsn," it tries to rally the
capitalist theology, the religious and patri-
otto backwardness remaining among the
workers, for the same fascist purposes
The IW.W. thus seeks a social base for
fascism among the working class, the class
which fascism means to attack, is attacking.
The LW.W. is thus controlled by social fas-
cists.
Perhaps, since it has become a sort of
counter-revolutionar church, 1t feels that it
is in the same position the Pope, who
has given them the lead on defending the
church against the Communist peril"
And isn't it funny, too, how worried the
Wobblies are getting for fear somebody will
take their precious government out and
choke it to death.
The Centralia prisoners must be proud
that the G.E.B is going to prevent the
wicked Communists from overthrowing the
dear, good, kind government and breaking
down the doors of the Walla Walla pen-
tentiarv
