ton and which It must therefore
guard against overthrow, while fas-
cism is violent interruption of
capitalism'S peaceful growth into
socialism" Accordingly, the Oneals
teach, the way Of the working class
in non-fascist capitalist countries
must be the way of collaboration
with the bourgeoisie In power; the
way Of coalition governments; the
way of averting and throttling
strikes; the way Of non-resistance
and gracious accommodation; the
way of. interference with the
march Of capitalism into Socialism!
against such a capitalism, the work
erS are, by the retribution of justice
itself, inviting the use of the ter
rible powers Of the modern state
against them" Clearly, the organ
lied violence of the bourgeois State
forces against the working class, the
moving down Of strikers, the burn-
ing and hanging Of Negroes, the
imprisonment Of revolutionary lead
ers and the destruction of workers
oreanizational headquarters, the
onslaughts of governmental and
extra governmental fascist forces
these are not to be charged to the
oppressive class domination of the
bourgeoisie and the drive toward
the fascination of its rule, but are
to be blamed, according to Mr..
Oneal on the unruliness and the
growing will to revolt Of the work
ing class. Really, why can't we all
get together like brothers7 :. Thus
breaches social-democracy.
This is the power that the Oneals
hold in store for the American
workers. The power that German
social democtacy and Austro- Marx
ism and British Laborisln proved
they could foist upon the working
class when, by the grace Of the
bourgeoisie, they were permitted to
assume governmental Office.
Power Of Socialist" Cops Clubs
And in this country, in those
cities where the municipal govern
ment is Socialist-controlled, the
workers have had foretaste of the
power that would be the lot of the
American working class if the
OnealS had their way. In Milwaukee,
in Reading, in Bridgeport, we have
seen Socialist" administrations in
action; we have seen the meaning
of their power. We have seen the
power of swinging police clubs and
blackjacks let loose by order of the
Socialist Mayor McLevy upon the
skulls of jobless workers assembled
before the Bridgeport City Hall to
demand relief and back wages for
Shovelling snow. We have seen the
power brought into action by Nc
Levys police when they slugged and
arrested demonstrators against Ger
man fascism in connection with the
public appearance in Bridgeport,
under the Socialist administration S
protection, Of the German Consul
General of New York. We have
seen the power of imported gunner
and Socialist" city cops hurled
against the Milwaukee street car
strikers last June; the power Of
tear gas bombs and flying charges
and mass arrests by the minions of
the Socialist Fire and Police Com
missions; the power exertsd by the
Socialist City" administration to
guard the electric utility company
property against strikers and
pickets; the power which the cleft"
Socialist Mayor Baxter of West Allis
gave in written reply to the cleo
trio conpany's request for the pro-
lection of their property:
"You are hereby advised that
the City Of West Allis will furnish
such lawful protection to property
and life as 1t is possible for us to
supply. This protection, however,
in my opinion, is not adequate
for the present emergency. You
are therefore further advised to
take such steps as are necessary
to secure the added protection
In plain words, the power and
the advice to hire gunner and
thugs against the strikers.
There is no denying there is power
at the end of your road, M. Oneal.
You have shown, beyond any gain
saying, that you are prepared to
