The class struggle, working class
against capitalist class, grows
sharper every day. Working class
organizations are rising, learning
how to fight, steeling their ranks
and leadership, learning the lessons
of Bolshevism. At the same time,
the capitalist class gathers all its
hired servants, its gunner, its poll
ticians, its priests, its newspapers,
its criminal underworld, its fascists,
its agents in the ranks of the work
ers own organizations, in desperate
attempts to throw back and defeat
the rising working class.
Our forces, the working class
forces, are greater and better organ

our tasks are greater, far greater,

Compulsory Arbitration

Perkins early this week told
the press that the Wagner
Labor Disputes Bill, now be-
ing revised by Roosevelt Cab

form of compulsory arbitration
President Roosevelt calls permanent
mediation, is in "nebulous state. -
There is no haziness, however,
about the fact that the re-drafted
bill will be a company union box
in which the New Dealers will try
to lock labor.
The Wagner bill is an outgrowth
of Section IA of the N. R. A, the
now completely discredited dema-
gogic primer of the New Deal. In
the last few months it has been
used as the Roosevelt Administra-
TONS chief emergency strike break
ing weapon.
During that March week when
the President, American Fedora
ton of Labor leaders, and auto
mobile manufacturers were strain
ing every nerve to prevent strike
eager automobile workers from
closing the shops, Roosevelt frankly
declared that he wouldn't push
through the Wagner bill unless the
auto situation made it necessary
to do so.
In short, when Roosevelt revealed
recently that what he wants is q
Wagner Bill, something with the
principles of the present bill but
not exactly in the present form, he
was quite honest.

of strikes in auto, coal, steel, air

Workers, and all exploited sections
of the population, are forced by the
capitalist attacks (Which are the
attempts to find capitalist way
out of the crisis to organize and
fight.
A Glass War.
But to fight successfully, to win
the battles, that is today the prob
lem to which all attention must be
concentrated. Our oppressors do not
sit back and wait for us to decide
the questions. Capitalism gathers
all its forces, and hits with all its
power. 1t is a fight, it is class war.
And in a fight, victory goes to the
best prepared, the best organized,
the best led army. The only imme-
diate guarantee Of victory which we
have is our own effective work, in
preparation, organization, and lead
ership Of our class forces and our
allies.
We know that eventually our VIC
tory is guaranteed. Capitalism can
not continue. 1t cannot solve a
single one of its major problems.
The capitalist class can never
destroy the working class, nor per-
manently suppress it. The working
class can and will destroy capitalism
and the capitalist class, The job is
already well begun on one-sixth of
the earth's surface.
But if we are slow. if we are
stupid, if we organize badly, if we
do not learn to right all our mis-
takes and remedy our weaknesses,
that means that we ourselves will
postpone that victory. The outcome
of the class war is predetermined
in our favor. But the immediate
battles can be determined only by
our fighting fitness, our will to VIC
tory, our capacity to find the path
of Bolshevisn.
Must Do 1t Now.
For this there is not unlimited
time. Time is short, and pressing.
World capitalism is gathering the
forces of a great assault, of fascism
and imperialist war, against the
toiling masses. We must prepare
for winning victory, not in some un-
determined future, but NOW, at this
moment of history. The class war
can only be concluded with the vic
tory of the working class. We can
not afford to see that victory post
poned. We must not hand this task
down to our children. We nuAt
finish it.
The road of preparation for tbs
final victory is the road of winning
partial victories today and every day
in the struggle for wages. for better
conditions, for unemployment relief
and insurance. The road to State
power in the hands of the workers
begins by winning a growing degree
of power in the factories, in the
neighborhoods, through working

Moscow Throngs Greet Them
Massed outside the station, and
filling the whole square, we're dense
crowds of workers from the Moscow
factories, who had marched all
morning with their banners to meet
the Austrian heroes who had come
to Moscow to place themselves under
the protection of the Soviet workers,
and to take part in the building of
socialism.
AS the train came to stop, the
massed representatives of the work
ers, of the Soviet press, and the
staff of the International Red Aid
on the platform raised loud shouts
of greeting, and gave the Red Front
salute.
The Schutzbund workers, leaning
out of the car windows, joined in
the singing of the international,
then alighted and formed their
ranks on the platform. All were
uniformed, wearing light blue jersey
shirts and dark blue berets. Each

The first thing they saw as they

Soviet workers, one of the Schultz

"We have learned that the pro-

leadership of revolutionary party
which is determined on victory.
The only way to socialism is the
way of the Communist Interna-
