"Father Coughlin promises everything to the workers if they will only follow him, just as Tammany has done so long. We remember what Roosevelt was to do for the forgotten man, what Mussolini, Hitler and O'Duffy, the blue shirt leader in Ireland, were to do for the forgotten men. In Italy and Germany the trade unions and workers' organizations were smashed and the active members were jailed or executed. In Ireland, the workers and farmers defeated the fascist menace for the time being, but the present Free State government as well as the past Cosgrave and Craigavon government are jailing workers for striking and looking for their rights as forgotten men." The Irish Workers Club was affiliated with the Communist Party USA.
