The A. F. of L. contention opens in Boston on
October s. The T. y. .. L. and oil revolutionary
organizations are organising huge 1nobilizG
tion meeting against the A. F. of L. and their
bosses on October 8 at Franklin Union Hall on
Bercbley street, Boston. We urge all ,oorkers
to advertise and bring their Skopmutes and IN
employed to this mass meeting.
Two conventions of great Importance as far
as capitalism is concerned will convene in Boston
beginning the second week of October 1880. One
is the direct machine of war-the American Le-
gion The other is the open agency of American
capltalsm-the A. F. of l.. Mayor Curley the
Democratic Mayor of Boston the Chamber of
Commerce, the Master Builders associations
sent special MEN to the 1929 A. F. of L, conven-
ton to get the 1880 convention to Boston Just in
time when Boston celebrates its "tercentenary'
and where the American fascist Legion convenes
This arrangement proves that the A. F. of L. mis-
leadership is part of American Imperialism.
The q. F. of L. convention convenes at a time
when American Capitalism is going through
deep crisis. Over million workers are unem-
ployed, overproduction, shrinkage of markets
tense political situations in the Latin American
countries, revolutionary explosions sharpening
the line with its rival imperialist countries Eng
land primarily, and above all the provocative
activity and war preparation against the
U. S. S. r.
In such tense political period where the
revolutionary workers and their leader the Com
class line namely, organizing strikes, huge mass
unemployed demonstrations, fighting wage cuts
etc. American Capitalism needs all the help they
can get even at high costs in order to carry
through their plan of solving the acute situation
at the expense of the working masses. In this
case the misleaders and the entire apparatus of
the A. F. of L. is being openly used by American
Capitalism
Change of Policy
We may ask the following question: In what
respect has the line and policy of the A f. of l..
changed during the year of 1880? The answer
is that there is great change; the character of
that change assumes the following political sig
nificance: With the growth of the economic and
political difficulties of American capitalist society
the misleaders of the working class-reformist
trade union OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES greater func-
tons bodyguards of Capitalism from revolu-
tonary explosions. The A. F. of L. today is the
open guardian of American Imperialism Mr..
Green, M. Wall and Co. loyalty promised last
November to the representative of American
Capitalism Mr.. Hoover, that there will be no
strikes under A. F. of L. leadership, no organiza-
ton campaigns Gas If previously they did carry
organization drives), accepting wage cuts,
against unemployment insurance, helping to per-
secute the foreign born workers-they promised
to check every militant struggle within their
reach and power. M. Wall was and is in the lead
in the war preparation against the U. S. S. R.
In brief, they have Loyalty carried out their
promise, even than the capitalists expected
themselves
Why Are Those Agents Needed for Capitalism?
