of Labor for instead of organizing fighting
and militant industrial union for all the Porto
Rcan workers, regardless of whether they
were skilled, sem-skiled or unskilled, he fol-
lowed the explicit orders of Samuel Gompers,
and set up an organization that was to be a
living picture of the A. F.. of l.. And so the
Free Workingmen's Federation grew, and
with it flourished all the evils of the American
trade union movement, with its ultra reaction
airy officialdom, capitalist political alliances,
strike betrayals, class collaborationism and its
many-phased corruption.
This strike-breaking apparatus reached the
apex of its existence about the end of 1918,
when it registered a membership of $4,000.
Its influence extended to many thousands
more.) Due to the war, comparatively high
wages were paid the Porto Rican workers, and
things going rosy all along until-the
end of the war.
And Then-War on the Workers.
The signing of the Armistice was the clarion
call for the American bosses on the island to
start a concerted drive against the standard
of living of the Porto Rcan workers and farm
ers. Strikes flared all over the island. Strikes,
of course, had to be legalized not only by
Iglesias but they also had to have the o. X.
stamp from labor bureaucrats of the American
Federation of Labor, who never hesitated in
declaring them unlawful"
But this did not keep the revolutionary work.
ers from fighting, even under restraint and
against great odds. They were forced to con-
tend not only against the bosses, their paid
thugs and the brutal insular police, but also
against the strike-breaking tactics and SELL
out policies of Santiago Iglesias and his lieu
tenants, who controlled the Federation, who,
like their American allies, also believed in the
constitutional" and lawful right of the bosses
to cut wages.
Strike relief for the striking Porto Rican
workers, especially the cigar makers who al
ways took the brunt Of the fight never came
from the treasury of the A. F. of L., (although
the latter paid salaries to the officials of the
Porto Rcan Federation) but frc,n the Porto
Rcan class conscious population who always
sympathized with the strikers. But strike re-
lief money collected among the cigar makers
of Tampa, Philadelphia and New York. by the
organizers of the International Cigar Makers
Union, never reached the striking cigar makers
of Porto Rico.
A few years ago Pedro San Miguel, the $50
a week organizer of that union and Santiago
Iglesias' right-hand man in New York, with
the aid of the Porto Rican-Spanish League and
the now deceased Porto Rican Labor Alliance,
thru collections, dance affairs, etc, collected
about two thousand dollars; money that was

DORTO RICO'S outstanding political charla
tan and labor faker Santiago Iglesias, bet
ter known by the militant cigar makers thru
out the island as Gel Gallego" the notorious
strike breaker, has just left for the island
after three months stay at Washington,
where, as secretary of the bankrupt Pan Amer
lean Federation of Labor he helped convince"
Mr.. Green that it was a lot better and more
profitable to betray workers in the southern
textile mills than trying to drug Latin-Amer-
lean workers with the imperialst theology of
Pan-Americanism.
Pan-Americansm is a poison medicine of
the American imperialists that the class con-
scious workers south of Rio Bravo can no
longer gulp, hence the calling off of the pro-
posed and much-advertised conference at Hav-
ana of the above mentioned labor" organiza-
ton, which in reality is nothing more nor less
than an instrument of the Yankee exploiters
in their social, economic and political conquest
of Latin America and the subjugation and ex-
ploitation of the laboring masses of those semi
colonized countries
Hereafter the workers of Latin America
are going to fight under real and genuine
labor organization, just recently organized by
themselves at Montevideo, La Confederation
Sindical Latino Americana.
Contrary to what some workers believe, San
tlagO lgleSlaS is not a Porto Rlcan, but Span-
lard, born in Galicia, Span said to spring
from the same family tree as Pablo Iglesias,
founder and erstwhile leader of the Primo-de-
Rivera controlled socialist" party of Spain.
Went the Way of Anarchists.
Like the bloody Italian Dictator Santiago
Inglesas, at one time was an anarchist, but soon
degenerated like his fascist brother into the
abyss of opportunsm and labor betrayal,
plotting the cause of labor for the sake of his
own material well-beng until today he is the
most accredited agent Of Wall st. in Porto
Rico.
With the moral and pecunary aid of the de-
funct labor misleader, Samuel Gompers, who
foresaw the wonderful possibilities in building
a strike breaking apparatus in the island, to
serve the interests of the American bosses,
Santiago set out to organize what is now
known as the Free Workingmen's Federation
of Labor, otherwise, La Federation Libre de
Los Trabajadores de Puerto Rico, Porto
Rican link of the craft-rdden, reactonary and
corrupt American Federation of Labor.
Santiago Iglesias has one of the blacklist
records in labor history. Porto Rico is an agr-
cultural country, small and densely populated,
where " is easy to organize scores of thou
sands of agricultural workers; yet Santiago
Iglesias contented himself with organizing the
cigar makers, bakers, carpenters, ETC.. leaving
the bulk of our working class population,
namely, the plantation peon and the jibaro
from the sierra, at the mercy of Yankee ex-
ploiters

divided between the corrupt officials OF the
Federation, who, after being caught, claimed
they were hard up for money and that they
were forced to take it to supply their own in
dividual needs
Dead-For Lack of Checks.
This has been the history of the Free Work
inrmen's Federation, since its organization,
and it thrived as long as Gompers lived. When
Gompers kicked the bucket it was the death
knell for the F. w. F. Samuel Gompers, as
head of the American Federation, had paid the
salaries of every worthy" official of the Fed
Grafton, as well as the cost Of printing, pub
fishing and editing of Justicia, the official or
gan of that organization.
When Sam croaked, the Free Workingmen's
Federation also passed away. After long
history of labor betrayals, and the death of its
financial hacker, there is nothing left in Porto
Rico but the printed name of an organization
that only counts with about 500 members, and
l doubt whether half of them pay their dues.
The Porto Rican workers and farmers are
in crying need Of an organization that will or
ganize them and place them in position to
fight the greedy American bosses, and it's up
to the American revolutionary workers to help
fill up that need.
American workers and Porto Rlcan workers
in the United States should join and help build

THE forword to the Resolution of the Polcom
on the Illinois miners strike is promoter
for discussion. And in this spirit the follow
ing is contributed. My observations will be
general.
First of all the Party leadership should know,
that we, rank and file members are conscious
of the sincere effort being stressed for by
them-the real and actual Bolshevization of
our Party!
Our press, the Daily Worker reflects this
endeavor The Daily Worker is on the road to
becoming one of our most powerful, indispens-
able weapons-our Party Organ. At last, in
our American Party, we rank and filters have
become full pledged Party members. Informa-
ton no longer is matter of personal property,
monopolized by the leadership. On the con-
trary, the virulent energies of the rank and
file are released. Party democracy is a living
factor-theory and practice is being deeply
rooted The rank and filler must no longer
suffer insulting chickering's when he takes the
floor from the who belong" No longer must
suffer patronage; is not punished nor reward
I'd. He always owed his allegiance but to one
leadership-The Communist International.
And so we find the stifled energies that
come to and are brought forward now both in
the field of struggle and organization still
weak. undeveloped. Why? Because the rank
sudden thrust into a pitched battle. He does
not know that theses, resolutions, conferences,
conventions, slogans and mass expressions of
militancy are to be used as weapons, tools. A
Party member is expected to know how to use
these weapons and tools skillfully. But until
now we did not use then-we were inconl-
petent We were satisfied to fight only when
we absolutely had to. Today we have learned
that we must get out and pick an organized
fight whenever and wherever we are. And so
learn to picket right, fight back right, organize
right
For Collective Work.
Our most integral organism, the nucleus
within the Party and the fraction within the
mass organizations does not yet yield its power.
If our Party organizations were earnestly led
by capable functionaries, half of our battle to-
day would be won. Doth Party and League).
The leading functionary is the section and dis
:rict organizer. He must see to it that every
Party member fully understands the line of
the Party, T.U.UL., N.M.U., etc. He must ex-
plain what were the causes necessitating the
adoption of such line, by what means and
now to carry them successfully thru.
The unit subsection, section and district or
ranizer must never lose sight of the fact that
information plus simple explanation IS vital to

he fact that the worker is more than willing

worker must be taught the skillful use of his

Many of the southern workers undoubtedly
used to think workers got as fair trial as CAPT
talists-that Justice" could be expected from
the courts. But now they know different.
They saw the union organizers and strike lead
ers sentenced to 20 years. living death in
Jail. There is not worker in the South who
does not think the unions policy of self de-
tense was right when Police Chief Aderholt
and the other cops came to the union headquar-
ters the night of June 7th. But they know it
was not for Aderholt's death that the seven
were sentenced to long prison terms, but for
the crime of organizing the southern textile
workers into militant union. In every case,
in Charlotte, Bessemer City, Marion, they see
when workers are killed, no attempt is made
to sentence the capitalist murderers. They see
clearly the "justice" workers get and the Gus
tice" capitalists get
The workers of the South, most of whom
are very religious have seen the churches in
action. In Marion, N. c., after the six strikers
were murdered, md the sheriff and other
bosses agents fneed, many of the strike lead
ers were told by their preachers, at the COM
mand of the mill BOSSES that they were ousted
from their churches. This was another attempt
to break their union. The preachers, owned
body and soul, their wages and houses paid for
by the mill bosses, tell the workers they are
well-off and should be grateful for their jobs.
And the workers know their bosses we'll
the bosses and Chambers of Commerce, who
for years advertised in northern papers "the
cheap docile labor Of the South" The workers
are determined to fight against the stretch
out, long hours, bad wages and unemployment
that affect the 100000 textile workers Of the
South.
The workers of the Socth have gotten edu-
Gated fast in the last year. There has prob
ably never been situation where the lineup
of class has been so obvious, so crude and so
unblurred-the bosses, the courts, the papers,
the cops, and the churches, well-organized, on
one side, and the workers on the other. The
textile workers see clearly who their class enc
mics are and the Negro and white workers are

TO believe what they saw in the Charlotte
pauers. the "Gassy" Gazette and the other

throw out as lies the statements they see. The

issue denounce the organizers OF the N.I.W.u.

fat bows who in 1921 were there, lived well,
did little fishing, got plenty of money from
the workers and beat it out of town. They
saw them night after night going from house
to house telling of organization, telling OF one
big industrial union, showing the workers ways
to fight against their slavery. They saw them,
when the strike came, on the picket lines, get
ting beaten up with the other pickets. They
saw them in Jail, studying so as to become bet
