employers boards-the N r. A. boards.
The A. F. of L. leaders have endorsed Demo-
cratic Party candidates right and left. They have
recently issued statements endorsing democratic
congressional candidates in patches of half Dozen
The lynch party of the South has the complete en-
dorSement of the Green bureaucracy. The Roose-

is spokesman for the bankers and employers in cut

of its arbitration" boards is fully supported
by William Green and Co. The A. F, of L. official
dom of Alabama brazenly supports the Democratic
Ku Klux Khan candidate for governor in the pri-
maries "a pal of Roosevelt).
But the A. F. of L. is "non-partisan" when it
comes to support of the employers candidates.

Oreen ana the SOCIALIST Leaders
Green's "non-partisan" policy extends to all the
other parties which support the employers pro-
gram. AS an example of the close alliance between
the Green machine and the Socialist Party leaders,
Green supported the election of David Dubinsky,
leading Socialist member of the A. F. of
L. executive council at the recent convention Not
only that but general get-together of Socialist
Party and A. F. of L. leaders was held at meeting
in the Socialist headquarters, the Rand School. We
find fnn
York leader of the Socialist Party; Chester Wright
Green's publicity man; B. c. Vladeck editor of the
Socialist Forwaerts; Francis German, who sold out
the textile strike and Green henchman, and other
A. F. of L. and Socialist Party leaders They united
on common progranl-that of acceptance of Roose-
velts truce" and prevention of the spreading tex
tile strike against discrimination and wage cutting
The united front of the Green leadership in
the election campaign land at all tines is broad
one. All agents of the employers are represented.
The New Leader is conducting campaign to prove
that Green's policies progressive after all Such
headlines as "a F. of L. fights fascsm" are rife
in the New Leader The New Leader is straining
to convince the workers that the recent Green-con-
trolled A. F. OF L. convention was "a forward step"

Here the Lovestoneites those anti-working class
elements of whom the Communist Party purged it
self in 1929, enter the picture. Not only has a
large slice of the Lovestonete group (Gtlow, Fam,

callst Party. For long time the LoveStoneite
group have been staunch supporters of Green in
the trade unions. They carrying through Green's
red scare of expulsion of militants the silk union
