Martial Law, Actions of
Trotskyites, Led to
Drivers Defeat
BY JACK CARSON

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. - On the
tenth day of the second Minneapo-
lis truck drivers strike. Olson,
Farmer-Labor Governor of Mime
sofa, declared Martial Law in Min
neapolis, with the following declar-
alton: Il hereby find and declare
that a state of instruction exists
in the city of Minneapolis and
county of Hennepin. 1t having been
made to appear to me that tum-
ults, riots and mob violence have
occurred in the city of Minneapolis.
the county of Hennepin, state of
Minnesota; that bodies of men. to-
gether by force have attempted to
commit felonies and to offer vio-
lence to persons and property in
said city and county, and by force
of violence to break and resist the
laws of this state, imperiling the
lives, health and property and gen.
eral welfare of the citizens of that
city and county and that the civil
authorities, therefore, are wholly
unable to cope with the situation
or to preserve and maintain law
and order"
To Break Up Picketing
What does this declaration, trans
lated to plain workers language,
mean? 'Tumults, riots and mob
violence have occurred in the city
of Minneapolis" means that several
thousand truck drivers entered into
a strike to get union recognition
and to raise their pay to SIS and IS
cents an hour. Then, bodies of
men together by force have at
tempted to commit felonies and to
offer violence to persons and prop
erty in said city and county and
by force of violence to break and
resist the laws of the state" means
the strikers together with other
workers of the city, especially the
unemployed, have united into picket
ing squads to prevent scab trucks
from moving on the streets of Min
neapolis.
Following this, "the civil autnori-
ties, therefore, are wholly unable 20
cope with the situation to preserve
and maintain law and order" means
that cambridge and Johannes,
agents of the Citizens Alliance and
the truck owners, have been unable
to smash the picket lines even after
the use of brutal force against the
strikers, the shooting on Bloody Fri
day, after numbering and manning
dozens of Minneapolis workers. The
whole declaration of Governor Oh
son exposes the aim of martial law
in Minneapolis to break the truck
drivers strike.
What was the general reaction to
t1i7 moe OF Olson? How did the
different forces il the Minneapolis
labor movement meet this situa-
ton? The Communist Party, from

Philadelphia
Workers Fight
Police Terror
LID. Calls for Fight to
End Suppression of
Workers Rights

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 26.-
The international Labor Defense
here yesterday called for mass pro-
test against the reign of fascist ter
ror which continues unabated since
the July assault on workers picket
ing the German consulate for the
release of Ernst Thaelmann.
Mass meetings, demonstrations.
widespread leaflet distributions and
kilograms and letters of protest
were called for to win the release
Of recently arrested militant work
ers and to force an end to police
suppression of workers rights.
In the past few weeks, the Police
Department has refused numerous
applications for permission to hold
street meetings. Other meetings
have been broken up by police and
still others have been pervaded by
an atmosphere of intimidation
created by the presence of numer-
Gus Red Squad" members who took
notes of the speakers names and
utterances in the most conspicuous
fashion.
The opening onslaught of the Po-
lice Departments fascist program
occurred on July IA when mounted
men rode down demonstrators be-
fore the German Consulate and ar
rested six of them, including Ben
Gardner, organizer of Section 3 of
the Communist Party; James Will
son, member of the Young Comnu-
mist League, and Beatrice Mash.
Sophie Braverman, Mary Smith and
Mary Kohn.
Since then George johnson, mill
tant Negro leader of the North
Philadelphia Unemployment Coun-
Gil, was arrested on framed charges
of mayhem and assault and bat
terry with intent to kill, for resist
ing eviction from his home.
johnson organized 1000 workers
of the neighborlGod for a demon
st-ation against the attempt to
throw his family into the street.
On August 20, George Kinch, or
ganizer of the Food Workers Indus
trial Union, was held in $1,000 bail
on charges of criminal libel for issu-
ing and distributing leaflets calling
on workers to support the butchers
strike in progress here. Two others
of the union were arrested on the
same charge and held in bail of
81 900 each.

Organizer Recounts
Course of Sell-out

Brown and the Dunno brothers
were released from the stockade.
But the militant drivers we're kept
and are now being sentenced. The
Trotskyites threw their hat in with
the Farmer-Labor politics and be-
gan to boost the demagogic maneu-
Vers of Governor Olson as the
methods by which the strike will
be won. Olson proved that he was
not stingy with such maneuvers.
He raided the Citizens Alliance Of
fec and confiscated some documents
by the use of which he promised
to start a campaign against the
Citizens Alliance. He ordered Gen
eral Walsh, in command of the
troops in Minneapolis, to recall all
military permits Of the employers
who refused to tentatively agree
with the Haas-Dunnigan proposals,
previously accepted by the union.
OIson's Red Scare
This the Trotskyite leadership Of
Local STA in one voice with the
burocracy of the Central Labor
Union declared will be the means OF
winning the strike. In the Ian
guage of Goldman, the Trotskyite
Chicago lawyer, who is now their
spokesman in the strike, this meant
victory for the drivers. They hailed
these actions of Olson as a turn TO
the left of the Farmer-Labor Gov
ernor, promised him their full sup
port and we're ready to whitewash
Olson for his previous deeds in the
raid of the strike headquarters and
the arrest OF the strike leaders.
Olson was forced to listen to the
voice Of the rank and file of the
Farmer-Labor Party" And we
have forced Olson to move in our
direction, in the direction of the
drivers"
Such were the declarations of the
Trotskyitss, but soon after, Olson
again began to extend the military
permits, feeling that he succeeded
with the aid of the Trotskyites to
dlsarm and demcralize the drivers
and prevent mass mobilization for
struggle in the winning Of the
strike. Over $4,000 tracks were run
ming with military permits. The
employers delivered blow after blow
to the union with the aid of Gov
ernor Olson and the governn< ut
mediators. Martial law was still in

tial law and presence of troops in
Minneapolis, did not dare to come
in conflict with the forces of Olson.

reserve for themselves a place in

buroeracy.
Character of Martial Law
Before martial law was declared
and Olson's troops came into play.
the drivers were successful in pre-
venting the scab trucks from NOV
ing on the streets of Minneapolis.
Even after the shooting in the mar
ket place and the concentration of
the whole police force to move
trucks, only twenty-five trucks
day succeeded in passing through
the determined picket lines. Imme-
diately upon the institution of mar
t1sl law, a permit system was es-
tablished by Governor Olson. which
in a period of few days released
as many as 5000 trucks in the city
of Minneapolis under the Guards
protection.
1t was so evident that the strike
was being broken that the leader
ship of Local STA was compelled to
make certain moves in opposition
to Olson. They called big mass
meeting and declared that mass
picketing would be instituted again
and the trucks stopped. But as soon
as such intentions were expressed
by the strike leadership, Olson be-
gan to move trucks. The strike
headquarters we're raided by mill
tary troops, and hundreds of pic
kets as well as some of the leaders
OF Local STA, were thrown into the
stockade. To prevent any re-organ-
1zation of the militant drivers for
the fight to win the strike and to
stop the scab trucks, Olson raided
also the headquarters OF the Cen
trail Labor Union and drove the
drivers out of the c. L. U. head
quarters, where they had gathered
for the purpose of reorganization.
Two Directions Possible
The question was placed sharply.
in which of the two directions
would the strike proceed: In the di-
rection Of mobilization of the
masses of workers, the whole labor
movement of Minneapolis to pre-
vent the breaking of the strike by
the Farmcr-Labor Governor, into
mass picketing in spite of its pro-
hibition by Olson; into a fight for
the rights of the workers for the
development of the general strike?
Or in the direction of submission
to Governor Olson, submission to
military rule, the gradual breaking
of the backbone of the strike and
the sacrifice of the demands Of the
workers and their union organiza-
ton.
The Trotskyite leadership. as can
be expected OF renegades from
Communism and the new brand OF
labor takers. took the road of sub
mission. Upon agreement of the
TrotSkyites to prevent picketing,

9 Are Jailed
For Asking

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 26.-
Following up the fascist attack
which has been launched against
the militant workers of Pittsburgh
by Mayor McNair and his steel con-
trolled administration and police,
nine workers were given Jail SEN
fences Friday by Magistrate H. G..
McNutt for their participation in a
relief demonstration on the South
Side Thursday.
Carl Schmitt, secretary of Allie
gheny County Unemployment Coun-
ellis, was sentenced to thirty days in
Jail; the other eight drew SEN
fences of SIS or five days in jail
Only two paid fines, the others
choosing to go to Jail in protest
against the railroading of working
class militants.
The demonst1 alton had been
staged to force the relief authori-
ties to issue disable mattress for

week forced relief authorities to
obtain houses for two families which
had been evicted by simply moving

How Olson Broke the Minneapolis Strike

the very outset, declared this to be
strike breaking in a grand scale.
1t pointed out that it was the
biggest danger to the strike of the
Minneapolis drivers, and immediate
ly proposed joint action of the
whole Minneapolis labor movement
to fight martial law, to fight for the
elementary rights of the workers in
Minneapolis, to organize, strike and
picket for free speech and as
semblage, to organize the general
strike as a means of combating the
military strike breaking activities of
the Farmer-Labor Governor. The
leaders of the Central Labor Union.
closely tied up with the Farmer
Labor machine, declared that Oh
son is a friend of the workers. that
under no circumstances would o.
son do anything to break the strike.
On the contrary, the intentions of
Olson and the very martial law,
were to aid the strikers and TO
punish the Citizens Alliance, they
said.
Trotskyites Position
The Trotskyites, in the leader
ship of Drivers Local No. STA, to-
gether with the grand marshals of
the Trotsky group in America
Cannon, Schactman, and Company
declared: "Guardsmen's bayonetS,
tear gas guns or trench helmets
cannot move trucks; yes, not even
field artillery has ever been known
to move trucks" And Governor
Olson has declared martial law.
Troops are taking over our streets.
What for? Do the workers need the
help of troops? Of course, not. If
the workers are to win this strike,
union recognition and decent liv-
ing conditions, it is enough fer
them to tie up trucking and related
operations. This they have done for
eleven days. They need no help
from anybody to do this And
VIII the troops help the workers."
The Organizer" does not see how
the troops can help the workers.
CThese quotations are taken from
the Organizer" official strike bull
letin of Local STA, edited by the
Trotskyites.)
Added to this, an editorial signed
by Hugo Oehler, Trotskyite, in the
Militant" states the following in
connection with martial law in
Minneapolis: Neutrality in a class
society always helps the strongest
force. And, since the bosses are in
power neutrality plays into their
hands. The words and deeds of
Governor Olson in this strike proves
this point condusively."
The Trotskyites come to the fol-
lowing conclusion: Governor Olson
is a petty bourgeois radical. Even
if he is the most honest and sin
cere man and desires to help the
working class (My emphasis, j. c.,
a radical type of reforiner can in
reality do nothing but help the
bosses From the Militant" Aug.

Spur Fight for Jobless Bill
WHAT AN ,oER-

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 26.-
Three thousand workers attended a
memorial mass meeting in honor of
Sacco-Vanzetti, in West Park Fri
day night, at which Ruby Bates,
Congressman Ernest Lundeen, and
local speakers appealed for a re-
newal of the fight to secure passage
of the Workers Bill, H. R. 1898, and
intensification of re struggle
against fascism, war preparations,
and the framed-up charges against
Jim Egan, Phil Frankfeld, and the
Ambridge victims.
Jim Egan spoke on the fight for
unemployment insurance which is
growing in the A. F. of L. unions;
Ben Careathers, c. P. candidate for
Congressman from the 32nd dis
trict, outlined the election platform
of the Communist Party and the
need for electing working class
leaders to Congress; Carl Hacker
appealed for the building of the
international Labor Defense in the
fight against terror, and Phil
Frankfeld cited the necessity for

AS the concluding speaker Frank

out troops to shoot Minneapolis
