The} more radical among the Irish in America and the number is constantly increasing are becoming more and more anti-clerical,: They see in the Roman Church one of the principal enemies of Ireland and attribute Ire- land’s unsuccessful struggles in the past to the Roman connection which enabled Irish priests to inform the British government through the con- fessional of any plots against the safety of his realm. Besides that, the Papal Bull granting the British king the power to rule Ireland for the con- sideration of one penny from each Irish house to the Vatican treasury gave British Occupation of Ireland, Papal sanction which to the ignorant Catholics meant divine sanction. The progressive Irish workers in America believe that the capitalist system is the main enemy of the Irish workers as it is of all workers. But a concerted attack must be carried on against the Black International of Rome and against ‘he British govern- ment. The radical Irish workers in America have cast in their lot with} the revolutionary movement here. | 4ney know that tneir duty is to fight: for freedom here in America as well as fight for Irish freedom three thousand miles away. : The Irish workers of America who hold the same ideal of a republic as was held by James Connolly greet the Daily Worker and pledge them- selves to support it.

BEZOWSKY, | Commits j ished to hear Mr. Pike make a bitter \ THE DAILY WCRKER a ene ere January 13, 1924 ALLY AMONG THE FARM-LABORITES Minnesota Chairman Is Working for Democrats (Special to “The Daily Worker”) ST. PAUL, Mirn.—A bold attemnt is being made by State Chairman F. A. Pike of the Minnesota Farmer- Labor Party to deliver the narty to the Democrats in the eyent that Wil- liam G. MeAdoo gets the pres:dential nomination, This is clear from re- ports issued by the McAdoc head- quarters at Chicage. At the conference that was held here November 15, sentiment of the assembled delegates from all over the country was unanimous, that a call be isued by the Minnesota Farmer- Labor Party, for a great national nominating convertion to be held at the Twin Cities, May 30. The delegates present were aston- and stupid attack upon the proposal to hold the May 80th convention. The only clear idea to be gained from his confused speech was that the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party, .of which he was careful to state he was the “legal” Chairman, should not join in a national Farmer-Labor movement until the other state Farm- er-Labor parties showed more will- ingness to participate. His position was that nothing should be done on the matter of presidential nomina- tions until after the old party con- ventions. He further stated as his ewn opinion that the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party should remain a state organization, and if one of the old parties nominated a “Progres- sive,” the Minnesota organization shoulg support him. Now it becomes clear why he, the legal chairman of a state third party. was in favor of a nonpartisan stand nationally. Mr. Pike is a lawyer and a former democrat. He lost his standing amone the democrats and joined the Farmer-Labor Party by having himself appointed state chair- man, a very strategic position be- cause it enables him to call, as: he is doing now, hand picked conferences in the various state congressional districts. One of these conferences has just been held at which the only matters discussed was a series of resolutions written or inspired by Pike. Two of these resolutions are worthy of note. One authorized the state chairman to call a state con- ference and the other opposed the holding of the May 30th convention. Tho the conference was handpicked by Pike the resolution against the May 30th convention met with vigor- ons’ onposition — Witliem Maha aw 4: ee ee who was present, led the opposition on the grounds that the delegates were wholly uninformed on the real issues at stake. made a wild and excited attack upon the idea of calling the national Farmer-Labor convention. He argued that if one of the old parties nomin- ated a “progressive” it would be un- necessary for the Fermer-Labor Par- ty to have a national candidate. In spite of the fact that Pike’s confer- ence was made-to-order, the resolu- tion against the May 30th convention bg only carried by a vote of 16 to tion. Thomas Von Lear, the business manager of the Minnesota Daily Star, has allowed himself and the parer to line up with the Democratic Party. ment and the proposed May 30th convention. Pike and Van Lear are typical, un- scrupulous opportunist _ politicians. They are true representatives of the Democratic party and its economic interests. They are polities for the spoils, they know little abeut and care less for the genuine Farmer- Labor movement. They will side track and destroy it if they can to serve the bidding of their masters. Mr. Pike is now working to organ- ize a state conference of the Farmer- Labor party representatives. No doubt his program will be to deliver the party to a proposition of lors- ing a national democratic ticket. In the meantime sentiment for the May 30th convention continves to grow. Every gathering of the vari- ous state Farmer-Labor parties held since Nov. 15, has endorsed the May 80th convention, Russian Cong: Opens MOSCOW.--'The first All-Russian Congress of Svientific Workers has been inaugurated here, Upon the re- ports of Gregory Zinovieff, President of the Communist International and Chairman of the Petrograd Sovict, Mr. Lunacharsky, People’s Commis- sar of Education, and Mr. Semash- ko, People’s Commissar of Health— the Congress unanimously nassed a resolution to the following effect: the former cleavayre between the scientific workers and the laboring class is, to- day, a thing of the past; those former dissersions have now heen supplant- ed by an ever growing’ rapproach- ment in the process of one common work of restoration of the country’s economic and cultural life, Congratulations on the birth- day of “The Daily Worker” and Camilla Clausen’s 60th birth- day.

In the Ruhr district, thousands of miners left the pits because of the} discharge of x number of workers who refused to obey the new decision. The only healthy result of this new traitorous act is the continued in- crease of influence and membership of the Communist Party and Young Communist League, which are grow- ing daily in spite of their having been outlawed by Germany’s dictator, General Hans von Seeckt. Even the intellectuals and petty business men are’ now following the leadership of the Communists as the sole agent capable of regenerating the lite of the nation by the setting up of a new system of society. Ata meeting of intellectuals and students’ organizations in Berlin, resolutions of agreement with the Communists were adopted and ten bourgeois youth unions declared themselves ready to join the struggle for the emancipa- tion of the proletariat together with the communists. The Rote Fahne, central organ of the Communist Party, altho suppress- ed by von Seeckt is appearing illeg- ally, and being circulated in great quantities, under the name of the Rote Sturmfahne (red storm banner.) Because of the suppressive acts, ‘the executive committee of the Com- munist Party nas voted to move to a neighboring country, from which the revolutionary. activities of the working class will be directed until the attainment of power by the Ger- man proletariat which is conceded to be a matter of only a short time. * 2 8 ® DEVELOPMENTS JN NORWAY While the struggle goes on ever more sharply in Germany, France, Poland and other continental coun- tries, the Labor Party of Norway has broken from the Communist Inter- national, a minority cf the conven- tion, which took place in Christiania a short while ago, forming itself into the Communist Party of Norway and immediately declaring its unreserved affiliaton to the Communist Inter- national. A The fight in the Norwegian party is of long standing. The group of intel- lectuals, centering around the publica- tion “Mot Dag,” had done all in its power to break the party away from the international. Party comrades faithful to Communist principles were not permitted to voice their opposition to the tactics of the centrists. Many were expelled and the Young Com- munist e, which stood by the Communist International was gagged completely. The fight centered around the deci- sions of the Communist International farmers’ government, the campaign against religion and the ecntralization of discipline. Besides this, the trade union leaders combined with the “Mot: Dag” .faction in a fight against the policy of affiliation to the Red Trade Union International. After a long struggle, both within the party and at international congresses, the splitters broke the party. The newly formed Communist Party is already issuing its own daily, the Kommunistblad. THE WHITE TERROR IN BRAZIL At the other end of the globe, the Communists are being subjected to a) reactionary suppression by the capital- ists. The Communist Party of Brazil is having its most active comrades in many cases without any reason be- ing given at all. Comrade Canellas, delegate to the fourth congress of the Communist International, is in, jail. So also are Comrades Peres, Silva, Brandac, the proletarian writer, Mar- cillo, Escobar, Dias and Persira, who published a prophetic pamphlet in March 1918, saying that the over- throw of German militarism would be accomplished by the bolsheviks. Many comrades are being sent to convict prisons or deported and the protests of trade unions are ignored. One union was actually suppressed for such a prot a ee 3 WITH AMERICAN LABOR Labor is seeing the need for a daiiy press more and more.
