Warn Strikers to Watch Their Leaders; Support
Bosses’ Efforts to Defeat Strike and
Smash Unionism

such, nor did they condemn it.

Two in particular came out, not
boldly and courageously, but slyly
and with characteristic cant and cir-
eumlocution, against the striking
workers and their sympathizers. An-
drew Roddan, the same preacher
who invited the Fascist MeGeer to
pollute his pulpit and church some
weeks azo, with unctuous hypocrisy
declared his love for the workers,
but did not fail to use the same
tactics as MeGeer, Telford, Bennett,
et al. “My message to the longshore
strikers is: ook well to your lead-
ers,” declared the reverend.

A Coward's Act

This is the old strike-brealinge
qrick of Sowing distrust and disension
for the purpose of demoralizing and
defeating the strike. And this at a
time when one of the strikers’ ablest
and bravest leaders, Emery, was
lying in a cell in Cordova Street jail,
denied bail, on a framed-up charge;
when the trusted leader, Salonen,
with more than a score others, are
facing= frame-ups and prison. Such
dirty hitting at the strikers’ leaders
when they are temporarily down is
utterly contemptible and cowardly.

Roddan echoed the howl of his
masters when he stated that the
strikers had “made a mistake.’ This
either referred to their resistance to
the Shippinge Pederation’s determina-
tion to smash unionism, or it was a
sneaking way of blaming the strik-
ers for the police terror on Tuesday.

The Starvation Weapon

Dealine with the city councils
declaration that they will not sive
relief to the starving wives and chil-
dren of strikers (and also cutting off
relief for refusal to sea), Roddan,
according to press reports, Said.
“The City Council is quite within its
rights when it says that it will not
five relief to these men and their
families.” He tried to make up for
this heartless, strike-breaking en-
dorsement of the use of starvation
aS a strike breaking weapon py
maudlin appeals to charity—for the
-children, but not for the strugeline
workers. °

Rev. Brewing Too

Dr. Brewing aiso supported the
Citizens League, the Shipping Fede-
ration, Iascist Tom MacInnis and
MeGeer, albeit in a smoother man-—
ner than the demozogiec Roddan.
Wevertheless he condemned “‘incit-
ing to riot,’’ the inference being that
Emery and the strikers on Tuesday

were the inciters,* and not the
Shipping Federation, their Fascist
allies and the police. He also de-

elared that “constituted authority
must remain.” By this it is not clear
whether he meant just ordinary cap-
italist rule or the authority which
the Shipping Federation now exer-
cises.

Roddan sand Brewing, like others
of their sychopantie order, when the
class struggle becomes sharp, al-
ways hearken to the voice of the
elass that pays their stipends and
contribute the most to the upkeep
of their temples of ignorance and
confusion. The voice of the pulpit
is the voice of the boss.

during strikes and demonstrations is
the Jaw and order of the employing

police are traitors to their class,

and in their scabherdins “duty,” and

in carrying out the wishes of their

capitalist bosses to smash labor or-

acting against their own interests.
If Police Were on Strike

It is not only possible, but prob-
able, that in the nێar future Mayor
MecGeer, finding his attempts to
bring back prosperity are altogether
abortive, will start a wage-cutting
attack against all civic employees;
will suddenly announce that there
is a great and crying need for econ-
omy, and that the police and others
paid by the city must sacrifice part
of their pay in the name of “Service
to the public.” or for some other
equally false reason.

Tf the city police went on strike
against wage-cuts, and the Provin-
cials and Mounties were brought in
to break the strike, would the work—
ing class act as scabs?
not! :

San Francisco

Tt was not until their reign of ter-
ror was well under way, that the
Jabor misleaders in their turn took
the offensive. On the third day of
the strike, the General Strike Com-
mittee voted 207 to 180 te call upon
the maritime workers to submit
their demands to arbitration, and
on the following day the General
Strike Committee voted 191 to 176
{o call off the general strike.

Wevertheless, the intimidation and
the sell-out had some effect and a
week later the martime workers,
who had continued on strike, voted
fo Submit their demands to arbi-
tration, on condition that the
unions of the seamen should<be in-
cluded in the settlement, and re-
fused to go back to work until this
was agreed to. This solidarity of the
longshoremen withthe seamen, and
their repeated refusal to settle the
strike unless all the sirilkkers were
included, was an outstanding feature
of the strike, and espeaally signifi-
eant because in the 1919 and 1921
strikes, due to the policy of the
A. of I. leaders, the longshore-
men and seamen did not support
each other. The strike, therefore,
ended, after more than three months
of strugele, as an organized retreat,
and the unions haye forced the em-
ployers to negotiate with them on
all disputed questions, which is in
itself a sisnificent concession #2
spite of the fact that the betrayal
by the labor officials prevented the
strike from ending in victory.

What are the lessons and eonclu-
sions thas can be drawn from the
maritime strike and the San BPran-
cisco general strike

i. The working class, after a year
and a half of the New Deal, has
heen aroused to an unprecedented
fighting spirit, whereby the small-
est action for economic demands
ealls forth solidarity strikes Bnd
protest actions in which the unor-
ganized workers and the unemploy-
ed fully participate, developing into
general strike action of a political
character. This is evidenee of the
profound ferment and radicalization

Strike And Its Lessons

S
Teyanece as the illusions in the Roose-
velt program are evaporating.

The longshoremen’s strike as well
as the general strike in San Fran-
cisco, has shown that through unit-
eed front mass struggles, the work-
ers can defeat the employers’ moves
for company unionism.

The experiences of the joint activ-
ities of the ten unions connected
with the port of San Francisco show
the value and need for continued
collaboration and co-ordination of
the activities of these unions fol-
lowing the strike, in order to pre-
serve the gains of the strike and
for further struggle.

Although issuing the slo=an of or-
eanizing mass self-defense ‘corps,
nowhere was any such mass self-
defense organized effectively, and
working class organizations were not
orfanized for the defense of their
headquarters. ven the wrecking
of the union strike headquarters was
earried through without resistance,
although the employers openly
spoke of the attacks in advance. In
the centers of the terror Wave es-
pecially, a broad united front move-
ment for mass self-defense must be
organized.

A nationwide protest movement
against the terror must he carried
on, drawing in especially A .T.of L-
unions and Socialist Party locals, in
defense of workers’ organizations.

@n the basis of joint activities of
the MELW.LU., £LA. and reformist
seamen’s union, to adyocate the
formation of a local federated body
of these unions.

Tt is necessary to increase the cir-
culation of the ‘Western Worker’
and establish it as a mass paper on
the West Coast.

Finally, a campaign must be or-
ganized against the arbitration
lesislation, for the repeal of the La-
por Disputes Act, and in support of
the workers’ demands now in the
hands of the arbitration boards,
backed up by the sending of work-
ers’ delegations and resolutions de-

The indignant screams of the
Methodist hypocrite, Gennett, that

the strike of the longshoremen is
oreanized by an international clique
would sound funny if it were not
trapic. Working class interests are
the same regardless of nationality or
race. Workers never make any at-
tempt to disguise this fact. That is
why the French seamen and harbor
workers sent 3000 franes and pro-
¢ested to the capitalist Canadian
Government against the terrorism
used against the 13.C. Jongshoremen;
that is why the Soviet trades unions
sent over five million dollars to
help the Scotch, English and Welsh
miners in one of their strikes:

The capitalist class also acts in-
ternationally in protecting its priv-
ileges. There is no more ruthless
and inyeterate enemy of the Work-
ers’ Goyernment of the U.S.S.R.
than the howling deryish, R. B.
Bennett. He helps his class in all
their attacks on the Soviet Govern-
ment. Gut it is good to hear .him
squeal when he is told to his face
what the workers think of him and
the squealing shows that our work
is telling.

The publication in last week's
“73 ©. Workers’ News” of a whofe
eolumn of banned extracts from 2
speech that Tim Buck was to broad-
east back East, should be good evi-
dence for many who still believe
there are some “liberties” under
what Bennett and MecGeer call
“democracy.”

“ree as the air’ used to be a
byword. It can be used no longer
since the invention of the airplane
and the radio. As the capitalists
control the press they mean also to
keep control of the air, So far, in
Canada, there have only been re-
strictions placed on broadcasting,
but if the need arises, limits also
will be placed on the receiving end.
In some of the European countries
it is a criminal offense to listen to
foreign broadcasts, notably Hungary.
The owner of a receiving outfit, in
that country, capable of listening to
distance programs, has his set
seized and he is given apparatus
good only for local reception. Of
course this does not apply to the
fascist rulers. In Germany also it
is a horrible crime to listen to- Soviet
broadeasts, and many radio fans are
now in concentration camps and
Nazi jails for their temerity in tun-
ing in on Mascow.

As the radio improves we will
have the same thing to face here.

nett or other tools of finance cap-
italism now, and soon we will not
he allowed to listen to criticism from

wheel of the bosses. As the Trish-
man said, “Kreedom of speech —

By GEORGE DRAYTON

The strike of a thousand gold
miners during May this year in the
Bridge River- area was one of the
most outstanding examples of rank
and file solidarity ever witnessed in
B.C. The strike Jasted 17 days and
Was solid in all mines of any ac-
count in the area, with the miners
from the biggest and the richest
mine playing the leading role in the
strike to lift the standards of the
gold miners throughout the valley.

Most strikes of the dimensions of
this one are generally carefully pre-
pared in order to be successful. This
Strike was one of the exceptions-
The preparations, as far as is
known, were negligible.

Reasons for Success

The reason for its success was
chiefly due to there being a goodly
number of miners involved, who, al-
though not belonging to any union
at the time, nevertheless had some

previous experience in Strikes and
workers’ organizations.
A factor which contributed to

making the strike successful was
the fact that the Pioneer, the main
mine, iS yery rich, being the second
richest mine jn the world in ecom-
parison to its size. Another factor
which helped was the fact that the
mines are Situated far from the
travelled roads, and althoush seabs
would have le taken in under po-
lice protection, ‘still it would have
been a very exvensive undertaking.

crass support to the striking

miners.
Well Administered Strike

The miners had a good case. They
took good advantage of it, They set
up their own relief apparatus. Some
of the small mines which already
had fairly decent wages contributed
to the relief fund up to as high as
50 per cent of their wages. With
such solidarity the strike was sure
of success. The miners did not get
all they asked for, however. They
sot most of it, and then went back
to work, at least $00-of them who
worked in the producing mines, and
accepted the offer of a conciliation
board on the rest of the demands.

The miners asked for a dollar a
day inerease for all miners in the
area, and improvement in the work-
ing conditions, and several smaller
concessions. They went back to work
jn the producing mines for $5.40 for
miners, $4.50 for muckers, and a
minimum of $4.00 for all surface
workers. This was about ten cents
less than the original demands. Two
non-producinge mines, Wayside and
Gongress, remained out, with finan-
cial support from the rest of the
miners until the same scale was
paid.

In the meantime, the Provincial
eovernment is setting up 2 concilia-
tion board.

Gains Made

The gains made so far are much
ereater than a pay inerease. Im the
first place there has been a solidifi-
cation of the ranks of the miners in

the area that could not possibly
have been brought about without a
strike.
At the present time the miners
have formed what is known as the
Bridge River Mineworkers & Metalli-
ferous Association. A censtitution
has been drafted for acceptance by
the miners in the area.
There is a committee functioning,
composed of miners from all five
mines, with power to do ail negoti-
ating on behalf of the miners stil
on strike at Congress. These miners
still on strike are drawing relief at
the rate of $2.00 a day for married
and a dollar a day for single. There
is a distinct recognition of the ne-
cessity of a union and all the dis-
cussion and effort is Im that direc-
tion.
Improved Working Conditions
Wext, there is a sreat improyve-
ment in the working conditions.
The bulleook who formerly got $30
a month, now gets a minimum of
S400 a day. Two blasters are now
put to work, whereas formerly
miners had to do their own blast-
ing. Board and blankets are Dow
charged for at the rate of $1.20 a
day whereas they were formerly
$1.35. Clean sheets are now provided
every week. The group insurance is
no longer compulsory.
At Bralorne, the second biggest
producer, the miners now work six
days a week, instead of seven. The

siderably improved through the ac-
