ON DEVELOPING THE
STRUGGLE IN THE
REFORMIST UNIONS

In the reformiSt unions the
question of unemployment must
stand in the very middle of all
our activities. With masses of
workers actually starving, and
with the leadership nagrantly be-
traying them, the question of I'm
employment Relief and Unem-
ployment Insurance assumes the
greatest importance. Around this
issue hundreds of thousands of
workers in the American Fedora
ton Of Labor can be easily or
ganized for real struggle against
their leaders. In each union there
must be developed a definite pro-
gram of unemployment, linking
these unions up with the general
struggle Of the workers for I'm
employment Insurance and relief.

Unity, March, 1882.

In Detroit to Expose

DETROIT Mieh.--Mayor Murphy's
police in Detroit are continuing their
campaign OF terror against the work

from different sections Of the city
that workers are stopped on the
streets, searched. intimidated and
arrested for investigation. Usually
the police give the excuse that they

workers, telling them they should be
shot, deported or. at best, be put
into jails.

A necessary consequence to

it was really part of his passion

for this reason that he rewrote

Mr.. Hoover proposes to send
the control and regulation Of
liquor back 10 the states. 10 let
them be wet or dry as they
please. But he couples with
this thoroughly wet proposal
another. to wit, that there shall
be retained in the Constitution
power for the federal govern
ment to guard against the re-
turn Of the saloon anywhere.
This proposal for federal pre-
vention Of saloons (after turn
ing control and regulation back
to the States) is a mere ges-
ture. Whether there will be sa-
looms will depend upon the pub
lie opinion Of the states If the
federal government could do no
more than il has done TO Danish
the speakeasy substitute for the
saloon. as open in many places
as the old saloon itself. il will
not have greater power in the
future merely by retaining a
yestige Of the 18th amendment.
One thing we have learned,
beyond all question, in this noble
experimentation and the discus
sion thereof. It is that the con-
stitutionalists were right four
teen years ago. Vets have
talked some very eXtraVaRant
talk, along with the nonsense of
the drys. But the constitution
alists, who told US that the one
fatal blunder Of the whole busl-
ness was the introduction Of a
police statute into the federal
constitution, have been vindicat-
ed every year, every month,
every day.
They still are right. The
18th amendment should be
stripped from the Constitution
in its entirety, and the control
and regulation Of liquor should
be sent back to the states, with
out any deceptive fol de rot about
federal suppression Of saloons
