25, 50, and 75 Years Ago
September 21, 1990
Unionists and working people should come to the aid of the embattled
Greyhound strikers who are facing serious challenges in their
seven-month fight against the giant bus company. The strike is in need
of the united solidarity of the entire labor movement.
The Greyhound strike is understood by many workers as a battle against
union-busting. Greyhound chairman Fred Currey forced 30 percent pay cuts
on the 8,000 union members in 1987 and steep give-backs again this year.
The strike has won support on the picket line, at rallies and most
recently during many Labor Day celebrations across the country. Strikers
at Eastern Airlines and coal miners fighting company attacks in the
coalfields have taken the lead in giving solidarity.

The war between Pakistan and India is one more explosion of a powderkeg
planted by imperialism. In this case, it was planted by the British and
stuffed with extra high explosives by the U.S. which has tended to
replace British imperialist interests on the Indian subcontinent as well
as elsewhere in the world.
After World War II, the British realized they would no longer be able to
hold on to India. The wave of demonstrations and strikes and the Royal
Indian Navy mutiny of 1946 supported by the Bombay workers made it clear
that the British could not long hold on by a military and repressive
apparatus. So the wily British imperialists applied the principle of
which they are past masters — divide and rule.

A plenary session of the National Committee of the Socialist Workers
Party will be held, jointly with active workers’ conference of delegates
from all branches, in Chicago, September 27-29.
The Plenum-Conference will serve as the mobilization of the party to
give reality to Comrade Leon Trotsky’s last words: “Please tell our
friends I am sure of the victory of the Fourth International. Go forward.”
The principal question under discussion will be the fundamental task of
party policy toward the militarization of the United States. An
unfinished article by Trotsky on this basic question was on his desk
awaiting completion when the assassin struck him.
