THE social-fascists-the Music wing of the
American Federation of Labor-which rep
recent the socialist party in the South, and
under whose influence the activities of the
American Federation of Labor in the South
are conducted, fits into the whole machinery
of robbery and suppression like pinion to its
drive wheel.
Labor Age" the official publication of the
Music wing, reports in its March issue
"Pres. Green has completed another swing
through the South speaking to many state
legislatures and addressing unionists
His tour ha made definite gain in obtain
ing favorable publicity, IN bonishing fears
in editorial sanctums of the A. F. of L. as
radical In impressing industrial leaders
with the Federations saneness. 1t has also
been boon to organized trade inionists,
placing upon them the seal of responsibility.
No immediate gains haze been reported for
the unorganized aUoriers in cotton mills, coal
mines, steel mills and tobacco factories. This,
in the nature Of things will haze to wait
until the effect of his appearances soats IN
on the Southern Consciousness" Tiny en-

The Labor Advocate" official organ of the
Birmingham Trades Council, stated on March
IL, in course of review of Green's activities:
president Green talked before Joint ses-
sions of legislatures, held conferences auth
governors, labor leaders and political aoork-
ers all with the intent of having the cause
of organized labor rightly presented to the
people, and especially the employers, of the
South" (my emphasis.)

Dor" was presented to everybody but the
masses of unemployed and starving workers,

"The presence of communist hecklers,v says
the Labor Advocate" "and sympathizers who
preceded Green served to emphasize the
labor problem of the South as related to the
employers, who were told that they would have
to make choice from either the subvsrsive
element, posing as.labor advisors or the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor which comes into the
south with a constructive program and de-
sired only the good of Industry
Green laid the greatest emphasis on the s'co-
operative plan now in full operation in Salem,
Mass, in the Naumkeag mills and on the B.
and O. railway system -. it is fair, just and
sane. We know that higher wages must come
from the profits of industry and 1t is our de-
sire to help make more profits for the em-
ployer. 49,.
The cooperative PLAN" which is company
unionism under the leadership of A. F. of l.,
officials and hired experts devoted to getting
more work of the workers, is the common
group Of the Musteites and the fascist off
Gals of the A. F. of L.
In Danville, Va, where textile workers have
recently been handed 10 per cent wage cut,
German, organizer for the United Textile
Workers. openly offers the UTW as an instru-
ment for "stabilizing the industry" j. e. more
work with less workers, more profits for the
bosses
1t is not surprising, therefore, that not only
