McLevy Deal
In Bridgeport
Especial to the Daily Worker,


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 30
Mayor McLeYy's police rushed the
stage Of the Central High School
Tuesday night and stopped Amter,
national secretary of the Unein-
ment Council, from addressing a
crowd of unemployed who resented
the empty promises of McLevy and
other public officials at mass
meeting called by the Socialist
controlled Relief Workers League.
Only about 400 persons gathered at
the loudly advertised meeting to
consider the needs of the unem-
ployed, although there are 1000 re-
lief workers in the city.
The only proposal made BY Nc
Levy and the other speakers, which
included former Democratic Judge
Shapiro and Minister Hoskins, was
to petition the Governor for a
special session of the State Legis-
lature to consider the unemployed
problem.
Edgar Leake, organizer of the re-
formist league, refused the request
of the Bridgeport Unemployed and
Relief Workers Union, which is af-
filiated to the National Unemploy-
ment Council, that representatives
from the union be permitted to ad-
dress the meeting. However, the
demand was raised from the floor
that Amter speak, and a delegation
escorted Amter to the platform.
The chairman adjourned the meet
ing. Half of the audience took their
seats again as Amter began expos
ing McLevy's fake election prom
ises to the jobless.
When McLevy saw the big re-
Spouse given to Amter, he rushed
up with the police to stop the meet
ing. Amter demanded that Nc
Levy debate the unemployed ques-
ton with him, but McLevy refused,
and told police to take Amter from
the school.
Over $50 workers followed Amter

ers of Bridgeport and Connecticut.
The Relief Workers Union has
called mass meeting for Friday
night at Redmen's Hall, with Am
ter as the chief speaker, and in
yited McLevy to debate him.
Many Socialist workers were pres
ent at Amter's meeting last night
and spoke against McLevy's be-
trayal of the workers, indicating
also their agreement with the Com
munist program. A big reception
was given to Chief Mate Van Triar
and the crew of the S. S. Alcyone,
who pledged support to the Relief
Union at Amter's meeting.

BY BEN GOLD

The revolutionary trade unions
and the opposition groups in the
A. F. of L. unions are confronted
with very serious problem of basic
political significance. This problem
is not new 1t has been discussed on
a number of occasions, but nc
necessary steps to solve it in con-
crete and positive manner we're
taken, with the result that it be-
comes more aggravated. The prob
lem in brief is as follows:
The revolutionary trade unions
and opposition groups, though Off
cially participating in political
struggles, nevertheless have rot sue
ceeded as yet in arousing the broad
masses to the realization of the i'm
portance of participating in all
political struggles as well as in the
economic battles. The result has
been that in almost all major polit-
ical campaigns carried through by
the revolutionary movement, the
many thousands of workers, mem
bers of the revolutionary unions as
we'll as those controlled by them
ideologically, were not involved.
This basic weakness is the general
characteristic Of, and affects greatly,
all the revolutionary trade unions
and opposition groups.
Pure and Simple Trade Unionism
1t would be wrong to consider the
leaders of the revolutionary trade
unions and oppositions pure and
simple trade unionists. This phil
osophy was rejected long time ago
by all of us as deliberate and
conscious demagogic platform of the
reformists, the loyal agents of the
bouTgeoisie inside the ranks of the
working class" That the economic
and political struggles are organiza-
tionally combined is the ABC of the
class struggle for every clasS-con-
scious worker. Any attempt to sep
arate them means in reality to split
the working class battlefront and
thus destroy every chance for vic
tory. This is a long accepted axiom
for all those who are engaged in the
class struggle.
One must not be profound
theoretician to know that the or
ganized and armed state and gov
eminent apparatus is the depressing
instrument of the rich ruling class.
Any worker or group of workers
who come in conflict with the en-
ployers and are forced to take up
a struggle always find the organized
state powers actively engaged in
assisting the bosses. Especially is
this the case in the present period
of growing class antagonists and
numerous sharp class clashes. Even
during the strike of the fish hand
lers, which involved a handful of
workers (this industry is not trusti-
fed as yeti, the capitalist court
fastened to assist the bosses with a
sweeping injunction against the
strikers.
Every economic struggle expresses
the fundamental class antagonismrI
in capitalist society and as result
always tends to take on an in
creasingly sharp political character.
Because of this, the entire political
machine of the boss class is always
on the side of its creators and own
