within the capitalist parties and an
increased trend towards q third
capitalist or middle class party. The
forces which aimed fo- a genuine
Labor Party were still too weak in
each case. They were never yet
firmly established on the basic or
CARNATIONS of the working class,
especially the trade unions.
LaFollette in 1924
In 1924 the American Federation
of Labor bureaucracy and the off,
Gals of the Railroad Brotherhoods
joined behind a progressive" LaFol-
lette ticket, but this was only to give
way partially to the tremendous
pressure from below for a mass
break-away from the Democratic
and Republican parties. Following
the 1924 elections, when Robert
LaFollette, candidate for president,
polled five million votes, the Com
munist International stated as fol-
lows in its analysis daily Worker,
May, 1925:
''The La Toilette movement as a
genuine petty bourgeois pbenome-
non was of a double nature: on
the one hand ii was an objective
symptom of disorganization in the
camp of the bourgeoisie. On the
other hand, in the prevailing cri-
sis of American capitalism, its OBJ
jective purpose was the support of
capital; to divert as political
safety valve the awakening class
consciousness of the proletariat
from consolidation of its indepen-
dent class movement. Gompers
president Of the A. F. of L. them
understood this and allied himself
with La Toilette. The semi-con-
sciouS labor movement saw in
La Toilette a standard bearer
against big business, and followed
him blindly. for the farmer labor
movement still lacked political in
dependence to a certain degree.
The majority of the workers in
this movement desired the forma-
ton of q Labor Party, but they

tants in the labor movement. and
in the first place the rank and file
movement in the trade unions. The
need for a Labor Party must be
made apparent to the masses out
of their own experiences in strikes
and similar struggles.
Policy Mapped in 1925
The above directives of our Party
on the Labor Party are not stated
for the first time. This policy was
restated several times in 1925 when
the Communist International made
thorough analysis of the question.
The analysis of the Communist IN
ternational in May 1925, said TN
America the regular work Of the
Party members in the trade unions
must be considered now as the fun
damental work on which depends
the success of the Party in most of
the other fields and especially the
struggle for a Labor Party"
The Sixth Congress of the Com
munist International, as our Central
Committee cites, resolved chat the
Party concentrate its attention on
the work in the trade unions, on
organizing the unorganized, etc,
and in this way lay the basis for
the practical realization Of the
slogan of broad Labor Party or
ganized from below"
A real Labor Party will be an
outgrowth of our trade union work,
the Communist International points
out.
But what is the traditional official
policy of the American Federation
of Labor on the political fieldp 1t
is termed "non-partisan" policy
to reward friends and punish
enemies" in either of the two cap
italist parties. The class basis of
politics is not recognized. Although
experience has time and again
proved that such policy is bankrupt,
the American Federation of Labor
bureaucracy maintains it. 1t is the

did not yet demand an sndepen-
dent proletarian class policy: they
rather preferred to accept the
guardianship Of an opposition
party of the petty bourgeoisie."
The role Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor bureaucrats in rela-
ton to the developing political cur
rents is explained by the Commu-
mist International in clear terms
and holds as well today as it did ten
years ago.
1t would be a serious mistake for
US to confuse the Farmer Labor
Party of Minnesota with our objec-
tive. While that party had its orr
gin in the revolt of farmers, middle
class people and workers against the
two old parties, it survived only as a
third capitalist party, although it
uses a name that makes a popular
appeal in that chiefly agricultural
state.
F. L. P. Defends Capitalism
The Minnesota Farmer-Labor
Party continued to carry out all the
essential policies of the capitalist
class and shifted the burden of the
crisis on the workers and poor farm
ers. During the strike of truckmen
in the Twin Cities last summer,
Olson. the Farmer Labor Governor
sent National Guards against the
strikers. More recently, in the
strike of auto mechanics in Mime
apolis, workers were shot down. The
Farmer-Labor representative in
We 5hington cannot be distinguished
from any of the others by the way
they vote. They are fully behind
the New DEAL as is Governor
Olson. Even in the early days the
working class was not predomi-
nant force within that party, al
though its trade union leaders CO.
operated with the middle class. rich
farmer and INDEPENDENT capitalist
elements within it. The Minnesota
party resembles very much the sec
ond type mentioned in the Contra
Committee resolution.

Auto Strike
lspeeial o the paIlr VOICE.


DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 26. - The
hand picked National Council of the
A. F. of L. United Automobile Work
ers today continued sidetracking the
strike preparations voted by thou
sands of members of the Federal
auto locals. Francis j. Dillon, ma
tional organizer in the auto indus
try and chairman of the Council,
made public letter to William
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
empowering him to seek a confer
enee with the auto magnates who
have consistently rebuffed the A. F.
of L.
This letter is In direct violation
of the decisions of the Detroit and
Flint City Councils of the United
Automobile Workers and of locals
in Cleveland and elsewhere, calling
for immediate strike preparations,
with all the negotiations in the
hands of elected committees.
The letter to Green completely
ignores these decisions and makes
no mention of the word strike"
The National Council letter opens
by pointing out the attacks being
made by the auto companies on the
trade unions, the discrimination
against workers for union activity,
the intimidation and terror of the
vicious spy system, and the attempt
of the companies to drive the work
erS into company unions through
the elections of the Automobile La
Dor Board.
1t fails, however, to draw the
necessary conclusions from this-the
conclusions already drawn by thou
sands of auto workers and confirmed
during the past year by the brazen
betrayals of the Roosevelt govern
ment-that only through militant
strike action can these inhuman
conditions be changed and higher
wages and other improvements won

veloping as result of the disinte-
grafton within the Democratic and
Republican parties, and confusing
the workers, 1t would be mis-
take merely to call for a Labor
Party. Under certain conditions
even the La Follettes and Greens
would agree to such q name. Green
is already making such threat"
We aim for Labor Party built
from below. In the same manner
as we raise the slogan for rank and
file control in the unions so we aim
for Labor Party controlled in the
locals and labor organizations.
Otherwise it will not prove to be
means for training the workers for
independent political action. AS in
the case of the English Labor Party,
reactionaries on top will be able to
throw the support of the workers to
the capitalist hunger and war pro-
gram The Central Committee says
on this point:
1.-THE Communists enter the
movement for a Labor Party only
with the purpose of helping the
masses to break away from the
bourgeois and Social-reformist
parties and to find the path to a
revolutionary class struggle"
| While, as the Communist Inter
national pointed out, in 1924 the
movement for genuine Labor
Party still proved too weak to sur
vive, during the decade since, i'm
portant political changes have taken
place in the United States. These
contribute greatly towards strength
ening the forces which make for a
genuine Labor Party. and develop
ing the class consciousness OF the
working class. Our Party, of course
will not stand aside and let the
capitalist politicians and labor bu-
reaucrats again mislead the work
ers from an independent class pol

Italian Troops
Land in Africa

ROME, Feb. 26.-The first bat
talon of Mussolini's in1perialist
expedition against Abyssinia ar
rived today at Massawa, an Erit-
rean port on the Red Sea, 10 miles
from Abyssinia territory. Vast
stores of ammunition, motorized
artillery, and full colonial combat
equipment are now enroute and are
reported to be in the Red Sea.
The steamship Nazario Sauro to-
day joined the procession Of Ital-
ian ships toward the East African
colonies, having sailed at midnight
with about 1900 skilled workers,
fifty engineer officers and war ma
terials. The DaVinci sailed from
Naples yesterday with sixty officers
and 300 skilled workers in addition
to materials such as barbed wire,
timber and building stuffs.
Italy is capable of mobilizing
thirty-seven classes totalling 7,OOO,-
900 to 100000 men in the crimi-
nal war in Abyssinia, it was stated
officially today.

system through which they could
auction off the votes of the workers
to the highest bidders in either the
Democratic or Republican parties.
The partisan" policy, so
carefully nursed by the union bu-
reaucrats, has been responsible for
keeping a majority of the workers
tied to the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties. In every case the
workers find that they were fooled
into supporting an enemy, but by
that time the new elections come
along, thanks to the union officials
and fresh demagogy, the disillusion-
ment is directed into channels that
lead them to support similar scoun-
drels in the second party.
Political Independence Essential
1t is clear that independence of
the American working class from
the capitalist parties is an elemen-
tary prerequisite towards liberation
from capitalism altogether. This
therefore becomes the basic aim of
the Communist Party at this state.
1t is only In so far as we can more
quickly and more easily tear the
masses away from the capitalist
parties and teach the working class
to act as class that we aim towards
the formation of a Labor Party.
There have been previous move
ments for e Labor Party. During
the 1923-24 campaign, the Commu-
mist Party took an active part. But
the movement was still too much
confused with capitalist third party
and middle class movements, and
was unable to survive. This cir
cumstance faced each attempt for
an independent class party, because
the economic and social develop
ments in the capitalist system which
push forward the need for indie
pendent political action of the work
ing class increased exploitation;
fascist terror; monopolies; ruination
of the small producers, farmers, etc.
are paralleled by a disintegration

today. The Senators mail, many
admitted, contained as many, if not
more, demands for union and pre-
lailing wages than support the
President" pleas. Congressional
leaders were bordering some new
maneuver to carry out the wage
cutting program of the White

ployment-insurance measure advo-

changes in secret sessions. 1t eX-

ton.

TRADE UNIONS ARE BACKBONE OF LABOR PARTY MOVEMENT

This is the first of two articles
on Communist Party's role in the
movement for Labor Party.)
The resolution of the Contra
Committee of the Communist Pat
adopted at the recent p1enary ses.
sion, points to four types of parties
which may develop out of the grow
ing trend for a mass break-away
from the two traditional capitalist
parties. These are stated as To-
lows:
"(al A popular or progressive
Party based on La Toilette, Sin
clair, Olson, and Long movements
and typified by these leaders and
their program; (bl a Farmer
Labor or Labor Party of the
same character, differing only in
the name and degree of dems-
gogy; (c) a Labor Party with a
predominsntly trade union basis,
with a program consisting of i'm

Communists"
The Party declares that the Com
munists must make the lest type
the objective, and that a struggle
must be directed against efforts to

Protests Flood Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga move
ment to force the work relief bill
back onto the Senate floor developed
today as labor throughout the coun-
try besieged Washington demand
ing the payment of union wages on
all work relief. The A. F. of L..
executive committee was called to-
gether by william Green, who yes
terday received a telegram from the
Unemployment Councils stating
that the Councils were calling upon
all their affiliated organizations to
arrange huge local mass meetings
with existing A. F. Of L. bodies in
the fight for union wages and con-
ditions on the relief projects.
Roosevelt, who a year and half
ago had said that 'it seems to me
equally plain that no business which
depends for its existence in paying
less than living wages to its work.
ers has any right to continue to
exist" was reported at Hyde Park
today as confident that his proposal
for a slave wage could go through.
Councils Urge Mass Meetings
The prevailing wage" clause was
outlined in a recent confidential
report to its members by the New
York State Economic Council.
Under its definition, in New York
State, the Commissioner of Labor
would be empowered to set prevail
ing wages" by averaging those paid
in 40 per cent of the establishments
in a given locality. No restrictions
would be placed upon his choice
open shops and lowest paid could
be chosen.
AS opposed to any prevailing
wage" rates, the Unemployment
Councils called upon all groups to
initiate mass meetings in all local
tiles for pushing forward labor's
demand for the prevailing trade
union rates on all work relief The
Councils called further for individ-
ual and mass resolutions and tele-
grams on Washington demanding
| the trade union rates.
