Scores Passive Policy
in Dealing with
Big Problem
Ry BILL GEBERT

One of the outstanding results
of the policies Of the Roosevelt New
Deal is the growth of the company
unions. There is no available data
on the exact number of workers in
the company unions, but the figures
run somewhere between $4,000 to
100000 workers.
The company unions have been
organized with the introduction Of
the MIRA. in such basic industries
as steel, metal, auto, railroad, min
ing and have been strengthened in
the packing industry. That is, in
the basic industries the capitalist
class undertook to organize the
workers into openly controlled
unions dominated by them. 1t is
clear to everybody that these COM
pany unions are the base for fas-
cist organizations in the shops.
1t is true that the company
unions existed before the introduce
ton of the MIRA. But they en-
bodied a smaller number of workers
and existed in fewer and less basic
industries. We can very definitely
declare that with introduction of
the MIRA. more workers have been
forced into the company unions.
In fact more have been forced into
company unions than have will
lingly Joined the ALL, indie
pendent unions and the Trade
Union Unity League in the last
period. Naturally, this presents
to our Party and the revolutionary
trade union movement Grade
Union Unity League and opposition
inside Of the ALL. and Railroad
Brotherhoods), a problem of ire
mendous Importance.
AS to the methods of work in the
company unions and the policy
toward the company unions. In our
Party and even among some leading
comrades, there is a tendency to
simply ignore the company unions,
or to declare abstractly boycott the
company unions" or Smash the
company unions" These are ex-
pressions Of good desires, but not
solutions to the problem. We can
not have a negative position toward
the problem of the company unions.
Neither ca nwe have a passive pol
icy such as is implied in the slogan
boycott the company unions"
That we are against the company
unions, that our objective Is to de-
stroy and smash company union
ism we don't need to argue.
The problem is how to go about it.
That is, shall fe only in a general
way speak against the company
unions or shall we develop methods
of work that will really lead toward
the destruction of the company
unions as such?
Before We attempt to answer
and analyze this question on the
basis Of concrete experience, we
want to say in a few words what
the company union really is. In
April, this year, a public hearing
took place before the U. S. Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
on the so-called Wagner Labor
Disputes Bill" to which hearing
heads of the large trusts and repre-
sentatives of company unions APP
peared to give testimony. Thei:
testimonies are really illuminating
as to the character of the company
unions.

STATEMENT OF THE
COMMUNIST PARTY. DIST. 9

After period of more than five
weeks of militant struggle and great
sacrifices on the part of the strikers
and the working class sympathizers,
the Minneapolis truck drivers strike
has been called off with the accept
ance of P. A. Donaghues and the
Regional Labor Boards proposals
for arbitration.
"The Peace Agreement"
Elections. The very heart of this
agreement is contained in the pro-
visions for a so-called fair" cleo
ton to determine the right of Local
STA to represent the drivers. helpers
and inside workers. In this cleo
ton, the employers have reserved
for themselves the upper hand and
a practical guarantee for company
unionism in most of the establish
ments. The election will be super
viSed by the Regional Labor Board
headed by Mr.. Cronin, and an in
stitution already well known to the
workers in Minneapolis for it's faith
full service to the employers. The
employers will provide the list of
those eligible to vote according to
the payroll or list of employees as
of July 16, 1894. But there can be
no doubt in the minds of sensible
workers that this list will be padded.
that it will include scabs and
friends Of the bosses. The agree
ment provides that representatives
chosen by the majority shall bar
gain for all said employees eligible
to vote" which means that in the
establishments where the union
membership will find itself with a
minority vote, which the employers
will make certain in the elections,
that no representatives of the
union men will be recognized by
the employers. This scheme of cleo
tions in the shops, under supervi-
sion of the employers and the
MIRA. machinery is a guarantee of
victory for company unionism and
for the employers.
Wages. This agreement consents
to the wages previous to the strike,
throwing overheard even the pitt
full raise of 21a cents an hour laid
down in the original Haas-Dunni-
gan proposals, and it attempts to
chain the workers down to this
wage of SO and 40 cents an hour for
a period of one year with the cost
of living steadily rising.
Inside Workers. 1t gives the
recognition for inside workers to
only % firms. It excludes the vast
majority of more exploited workers
in other firms even from guaran-
tee of the miserable 40 cents an
hour and the right of union repre-
sentation.

Conflict Could Have Been Won, But Was Defeated

and cowardly leadership, they will
land in defeat. This is why the
Communist Party Of Minneapolis
has from the very first day of the
first truck drivers strike in Mime
apolis up to the last minute warned
the workers against the Dunno
Skoglund- Trotskyite leadership of
Local STA.
The employers and the Citizens
Alliance used their open agents,
murderous cambridge and Jo-
names to crush the strike by open
terror. They celebrated Bloody Fri
day, but the strike was still solid,
and the determination of the strik-
ers to win was increased by the
sacrifices they had made on Bloody
Friday. But what the employers
and the Citizens Alliance could not
accomplish through cambridge and
Johannes, they have succeeded in
accomplishing through the actions
of Governor Olson and his lieuten-
ants in the Central Labor Union
and in the State Federation Of La
Dor, the Roy Weirs, Cramers, Nell
sons, Cunninghams and Halls and
the Dunno Skoglund, Goldman
leadership.
Stabbing the Workers in the Back
With nice phrases and words

Olson tok from the strikers their
main weapon by prohibiting pick
citing through martial law. He
established the military permit sys-
tenn for scabbing. He threw into
the military stockade the most mill

picket line. Under these condi-
tons, only the proposed program of

have re-established the right of
picketing for Local STA and won the
strike. But the leadership of Local
STA was too yellow and treacherous
to take such steps Instead they
followed the shameful path of truce
with Olson, refused to expose the
Cramers and Roy Weirs and appeal
to the rank and file of the A. F. Of
L. for sympathy action. They have

lance and Governor Olson raised
the red scare" for the specific pur-
pose of preventing the workers of
Minneapolis from taking the road
to victory pointed out by the Com
munists, The leadership of Local
STA gave helping hand to the red
scare" by themselves bowling
against the Communist Party and
the Daily Worker. All this led to
defeat for the strikers.
What Must Be Done?
The workers must learn the great
lessons of this strike to assure them
of victory in future battles. The
fundamental truth is that only
Communists, fearless workers and
militant fighters against the capt.
ta.st class can give loyal leader
ship to workers in their struggle
for higher wages, for union rights,
for better working conditions, for
more relief and for the final VIC
tory of the workers.
We call upon all drivers. helpers
and inside workers to reorganize
their ranks and prepare for further
, struggle for their demands. Re-
organize your ranks around your
original demands, the $27.5O mini
mum for drivers. the recognition of
Local STA, for the immediate re-
instatement of all blacklisted work
erS, against the discrimination of
the young workers and the pack
age delivery men. This cannot be
done without building in your union
strong and militant opposition
movement to the trescherous lead
ership Of the A. F. of L. and their
Trotskyite lickspittles.
This cannot be done without
placing at the helm of Local STA
those workers who showed their
fighting ability on the picket lines,
who were determined to break the
Olson Farmer Labor forces stand
ing in the way of victory. Build
your union on a militant program;
make Local STA the fighting union
of the drivers; vote against the
company agents and company
unionism; vote fer Local STA in the
elections.
We call upon all workers. mem
bers of the A. F. of L. unions. to
build groups of militants within
their organizations to take these
unions out of the hands of the
bosses agents and place them in
the hands of the rank and file
workers.

placed nominations on the ballot
and then elected the representa-
tiyes in each department, thereby
forming the company union. No
dues were to be paid, etc. All ex-
penses were paid by the company.
At the first formation of the COM
pany union there were some clauses
that limited election of representa-
tives TO the men employed by the
company only. Then, to comply
with the MIRA, the company in
troduced some amendments to the
original constitution of the COM
pany union and openly proclaimed
through the General Superintend-
ent of the Illinois Steel Company
Subsidiary Of the U. S. Steel Cor
poration) that the changes proposed
are deemed desirable by the recent
interpretations of the N.R.A." That
is, changes we're introduced for the
purpose of making the company
union apear as the wish and desire
of the workers.
Against this fakery shop units of
the Communist Party and the locals
of the Steel and Metal Workers IN
dustrial Union in the steel mills in
the Calumet Steel Region, espe-
cially in the Illinois Steel, in Gary
and South Chicago undertook a real
campaign Of exposure and called
upon the workers to vote mo" and
to paste stickers on the ballot
which read Il Vote against all
forms Of company unionism. I
stand for the right of the workers
to join genuine trade unions"
In this campaign we received
port from a large number of the
workers, including those organized
into the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers.
These methods of struggle against
the company unions gave us an OPP
portunity to reach many workers.
When the nominations and cleo
tons Of the representative of the
departments took place, because of
our previous activities in some Of
the departments in the Illinois
Steel Mill members of our Party
were nominated as candidates. The
workers in the departments carried
on quite an effective campaign for
the election of our candidates on
the basis Of struggle against COM
pany unionisn, for the right to be-
long to unions of their own choos-
ing, for formation of department
committees, raising also economic
demands for the right to organize
and the right to strike.
On the basis of this camapign. In
number of departments our can
didates received quite a large vote
and in one department a member
of the Party was elected as repre-
sentative Of his department to the
company union council This COM
rade is quite active in his depart
ment and strengthened the workers
around him organizationally and
politically
This is not our only experience.
We have a few others. In large
metal shop in Chicago employing
$500 workers little over months
ago, when the plan for a company
union has been introduced, over
80 percent of the workers voted in
the company union. In this cleo
ton, because of our activities,
number of Party members and close
sympathizers were elected. They
influenced others, and as a result we
were able to undermine the COM
pany union to such an extent that
we built quite a powerful local of
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union. When recently the
