they attack the Soviet Union and the C.P
slanderously, at the same time they attend
conventions of the FLIP. as delegates, talk
mildly about Walter Franks tlack of aggres-

the FLIP.
In view of this sharpening of the class strug-
gle, the capitalist class has selected the farmer
labor party as it's best social fascist agency
to betray the workers, to prevent them from
organizing and struggling against the capital
ist class, by using left phrases and at the
same time on all vital issues try to tie up
the workers to the policy of class colabora-
ton. The program of the farmer labor party
is full of vague and meaningless phrases, which
might have been written by Cal Coolidge The
farmer labor party openly accepts the i'm
perialist Macdonald government-the butchers
of the Indian and Chinese workers as it's model
1.-THE June 18th Labor Review. On the vital
issue of unemployment the farmer labor A.
F. of L. machine, while using such general
left phrases, as "strike blow against I'M
employment" in all of its programs issued on
the unemployment question has advocated only
a conference of the A. F. of L. takers with
employers as it's concrete program. The farmer
labor party speakers declare they are in favor
of social insurance, but of course they advo-
cate social insurance paid for out of the peck
cts of the workers and do not advocate even
IN general way, the passage of social in
suranc BILL let alone stating the provisions
such bill should contain. The farmer labor
review has often pleaded with he-bosses for
an unemployment conference as the best means
of preventing Communist and T.U.U.L. unen-
ployment demonstrations.
For War on U. S. S. r.
The farmer aabor party convention rejected
a mild resolution for the recognition of the
Soviet Union, and does not mention this issue
in it's program. The farmer labor party ac-
cepted the attacks of Woll and Green on the
Soviet Union, as it accepts the anti-Soviet at
tacks of the Fish Committee and Hoover Gov

in the preparations of the capitalist class of
Minneapolis for world war directed chiefly
against the Soviet Union Duluth Airport)
Recently, delegates from the Unemployed
Councils of the T.U.U.L. succeeded through
pressure of rank and file delegates in getting
the floor at the building trades council meet
ing. They asked for delegates to be sent to
the unemployed conference on Sept %. Due
to the resistance of the farmer labor leaders,
this motion was voted down, and the officials
of the farmer labor-A.F. of L.-machne called
the representatives of the unemployed work
ers racketeerS waiter Frank, business
agent Of the council gave his silent support to
this attack on the unemployed workers. On
, the question of the foreign born workers, the
last convention of the Minnesota Federation of
Labor Endorsed the Woll- Green-Hoover policy
of attack on the foreign born workers, more
restricted immigration, and more stringent de-
portation laws. On the question of the farm
ers, the farmer labor party program indorses
the dead McNary-Haugen bill, and mouths

The election campaign conducted by the
Communist Party has been directed chiefly
against this social fascist party, although
especially in the earlier stages of the campaign
