The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-09-07

AT no time before was the class collaboration
Il policy of the ALL. so clearly exposed in its
riinous effects upon the workers as today, La
boz" Day is a Gay set aside by the boss and
lrTalized by the government as a labor hoh-
dav It was handed down by the master class
in their efforts to offset the genuine workers in
te-national day Of struggle-NIay Day. Com
rsrs and his fellow betrayers in the ranks Of the
workers accepted this day as q symbol of their
policy of class collaboration and betrayal Of the
interests of the workers. They abandoned May
Do~ when they deserted to the camp Of the
bosses.
What has become of the boasts of the Com
pers. Green's VOLS that their policy of class
collaboration as against the policy of class strug-
Sc is bringing great benefits to the workers?
What has become Of their promises that their
policies lead to constant improvement Of tie
conditions of the workers? What has their
policy of the B. & o. plan, labor banking, stock
o-nership. etc. as against strikes and militant
struggle lead to? What has their policy Of sup
port Of the capitalist parties led to? The work
c-s can see for themselves today what these
rolicies have led to- Their policies are mirrored
in the present conditions of the workers. Eleven
million unemployed, millions Of others on part
time huge sleshes in the wages Of the workers,
insecurity from unemployment, sickness and old
age. This is the picture Of the conditions Of the
vc~zars resulting from the ALL. policy of class
collaboration. This picture is repeated in every
country in the world where the labor bureau-
Gratis ard the socialists have carried on their
policy T class collaboration. The socialists of
Germany and the MacDonalds of England have
heen tie best servants Of the bosses in cutting
Gown the unemployment benefits and the put
ting through OF vase cuts. Clearly the workers
can see that the policies of TIRE refor-a;sts (AFL-
Socialists Tusteites) lead to the further en-
s'avcment CT the r1a~ses and the constant wors-
enny Of their conditions.
On the other hand we have before Us the pic
ture Of the results of the policy Of class struggle
The existence of the Soviet Union for IA years
and the constant Improvement of the living
standards of the workers is the best answer of
the correctness of the policy Of the class struggle
That it is the cnly way out for the vo"'~0~~
In only one country, the Soviet Union, is there
70 r0o~7nlovr1ent, no wage cuts, no crises, be-
cause there the workers rule.
The American Federation of Labor officialdom
his become part CT the machinery of the gov
c2pn,ant in its fascist attacks against the work
Ing clc-s. The f.TL. is net brazen in it's at
to~-rt ID o-;,sh the militant struggles of the
workers and to destroy the militant organiza-
tio~1 CT the workers. The AFL. is taking the
lcadirG position to terrorize and discriminate
s~cLo-t the foreign born workers It is assisting
the white ruling class of the South, as we'll as
in the North to carry through its policy of
l-rching and discrimination against the Negro
r2cs2s. The American Federation of Labor is
openly calling for war on the only workers gov
eminent in the world, the Soviet Union.
The socialist party and the NTusteite wing of
the American Federation of Labor, while more
clever in the use of sweet words to cover up
It's betrayal, in reality is but cover for the
Greens and VOLS to carry through the bosses
program of starvation terror and war prepa-
rations against the working class.
Labor" Day, 1881 must serve not only to draw
the balance sheet of the treacherous policies of
the bureaucrats and their ruinous effects upon
TIE working class, but to hasten the gathering of
the forces Of the working class, under militant
