Page Four THE DAILY WORKE DEFENSE AUDIT | SHOWS DEFICIT HAMPERS WORK Ruthenberg Appeal Is Big New Task The Labor Defense Council, which for 15 months has been in the fore- front of the fight against “anti- criminal fgyndicalism” persecutions, now finds itself in serious financial straits. The financial statement for the three months ended Jan. 1, 1924 discloses that expenses for the period exceeded income by $2,142. The total deficit of the Labor Defense Council amounts to $4,670 and it will be seen that nearly half} of this was incurred in October, November and December, 1923. Re- ceipts have fallen off steadily during the past few months—unfortunately precisely at the time when renewed efforts are needed for the winning of the Ruthenberg Appeal, Must Raise $15,000 Between now and March 1, the Defense must raise $15,000. This is the minimum required to meet cur- rent bills and expenses, some of} which are already past due. It will) not cover any of the $4,670 deficit re- ferred to above which has been taken care of temporarily by loans which must be repaid shortly. Organized scarcely a year and a} half ago, the Labor Defense Council) has raised more than $110,000 for the defense of the Communists in-| dicted in Michigan as a result of the| machination of Burns and Daugherty. The magnitude of this accomplish- ment will be realized when it is un- derstood that over 90 per cent of the money raised was contributed by working men and women, in small amounts. It was the wholehearted response of workers everywhere that made possible the engaging of Frank P. Walsh as chief counsel for the defense. . Kept Workers Out of Prison. By its persistent campaign, the Labor Defense Council has been able the saye 32 staunch fighters of the working class from prison. But it has done much more than this, It has carried on a defense which was at the same time an attack, making use of the Michigan emergency to create a united front of labor against the vicious agents of the employers. It has exposed the secret ps ag tion of Burns and his “Department of Justice” operatives. It has de- feated the avowed purpose of the enemies of labor to destroy the mili- tant wing of the labor movement and weaken the whole lebor structure. Ut the vem-<kable victory in the case of William Z. Foster will be again endangered unless it is made secure by a precedent of outright pA ginny under the Michigan Crimi- nal Syndicalism Law. The struggle must be carried to complete and final victory thru the winning of the Ruthenburg Appeal. If the Appeal is lost, it is almost certain that Foster will be brought to trial again— along with William F. Dunne, Rose Pastor Stokes, Robert Minor and the twenty-seven other defendants who have not yet been brought to trial Has Raised $110,000 The Labor Defense Council has raised over $110,000 in its year and a half of existence. The administra- tive cost of raising this has been about 30 per cent, ficinding printing and advertising, traveling expenses of speakers, office expenses, etc, It is generally agreed that this is an extremely low percentage for collect- ing defense funds. Some $75,000 have gone directly into legal expenses. Great results have been achieved, more than justifying the time and money which have gone into the de- fense work . The present condition of Laber Defense Council finances, how- ever, is such that the fruits of past triumphs may be lost unless sym- pathizers can be made to realize the importance of assuring final victory thru the winning of the Ruthenberg Appeal. The secretary ofthe Council declares that plans in conection with the appeal may be hampered in the event of insufficient funds, i GOLLIN BROS. Formerly With Mandel Bros.

Of all the many and varied activities of the Workers Party there is none that demands and receives more interest at the present time than THE DAILY WORKER: Received with unanimous enthusiasm and carrying with it the hopes and the aspirations of every party member and every party unit THE DAILY ‘WORKER, nevertheless, has tremen- dous obstacles to overcome and tremendous problems to solve before it will have passed from the experimental stage and has become firmly established as an institution, self-supporting and safe from destruction, The establishment of THE DAILY WORKER was a big revolution accomplished by the members of the Workers Party, supported by the mili- tant American wage-workers, In a few months, by means of sacrifice and toil, the American militants have freed themselves of the necessity of depending on the enemy press for news and have created the conditions under which the whole working class can also be freed. necessity. The organization of this But as in every revolution, after the first victory there must be months of the most unremitting labor to strengthen and make tenable the position won. That is particularly true about THE DAILY WORKER. If the Workers Party and the working class are to realize the bene- fits out of THE DAILY WORKER for which they worked and hoped, there must be performed for the next months, day in and day out, the labor that will make THD DAILY WORK- ER live. That labor is already being car- ried on. The militants of American labor have been mobilized for THE DAILY WORKER to the extent that in the first week-and-a-half of THE DAILY WORKER’S existence, two thousand new subscriptions were re- ceived. In every section of the coun- try workers for the first time are be- ginning to read the militant labor press. But something more than individual work on the part of militant workers is needed to serve as the back-bone of THE DAILY WORKER. An OR- GANIZED ARMY is of the utmost army has begun. In every city, wherever a Workers Party branch ex- ists, there will also be a DAILY WORKER agency, functioning every day to strengthen and spread THE DAILY WORKER, working thru the Workers Party and with the Party as j@ base to increase THE DAILY WORKER'S circulation and influence. | . Wherever these agencies have not ‘already been established, the mili- tants are urged to communicate in once with THE DAILY WORKER business office. There is work and important work to do for every live rebel who wants to help THE DAILY WORKER succeed in its great mis- sion. There are material rewards as well as the rewards that come with a great work well done for those who can serve THE DAILY WORK- ER and the working class in putting across the first militant national daily | labor paper. | Before it is forgotten, let the real live wires take a post card, add: it to THE DAILY WORKER and write, “I want to help THE DAILY WORKER grow.” Remember Liebknecht-Luxembourg Thruout the country successful di emonstrations were held in memory of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg. In New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Rochester, Gary, South Bend, Omaha and other cities, young workers gath- ered under the banner of the Young Workers League, affiliated to the Young Communist International, and listened to the speeches made by league and party speakers.

The Young Workers League Band of Chicago rendered several selec- tions which were heartily applauded by the whole gathering. Comrade Minor, editor of the Lib- erator, gave an excellent talk on the Spartacus Week in Germary. “The situation was most favorable for the revolution,” said Comrade Minor. “The ruling class was no longer able to rule, the rich bour- ise classes were donning working class clothes to escape the wrath of the infuriated workers; every worker and soldier was demanding a Soviet form of government, but nevertheless, the revolution failed. It lacked one thing without which no revolution can be successful, and that is a revolutionary party, a party of the revolution, well organized and strongly disciplined, which ‘could put the masses into motion and lead them forth to victory.” He made a spe- cial appeal for the organization of the youth, the future fighters of the revolution. Comrade Max Bedacht, who was ‘the last speaker, pictured the po- litical situation in Germany, which must inevitably lead to a proletarian revolution. “The Communist Party of Germany is suppressed,” said the speaker, “but is exists illegally and i Bb the forces for the rev is tut Seventy-five per cent of them are estimated to be permanently re- tarded to e sixth grade intelligence stage.

Y, ORGAN OF BIG BIZ URGES SOVIET TREATY Declares Borah Speaks Words of Wisdom The Journal of Commerce, New York, in an editorial in its issue of January 9, urges recognition of Soviet Russia, and commends senator Borah for his clear and goncise state- ment of the reasons wh¥ the United States government should ditch the whiskered policy of the state depart- ment and follow the example of other European governments in their Rus- sian relations. The Journal of Commerce audibly giggles over the charge that the Soviet government is attempting to overthrow the United States govern- ment, Soon this ancient wheeze will jar the sensibilities of the American workers as much as the stale no- banana joke. It is amusing to note that while the most realistic section of the American capitalists are determined to make the best of the situation, capitalist errand boys like Samuel Gompers are supplying the secretary of state with hoary arguments to bolster up his tot- tering position. The editorial follows: Borah on Ri “Senator Borah, in his response to Senator Lodge in the debate over the recognition of Soviet Russia, has spoken words of wisdom. ‘Recogni- tion of the present Russian Govern- ment,’ he said, ‘would constitute neither approval of its policy nor of the character of the men forming it. Such action would mean simply that we realize it is the only governing power in Russia, and if we are to deal at all with that great nation it must be thru its government.’ Here we have @ concise statement of a reason- able basis upon which to accord rec- ognition to Russia. “When the phrase ‘international law’ covered a moderately well de- fined body of customary observance, and when some people even believed the world law could properly be ap- plied to the practices sanctioned by custom which governed international intercourse, Senator Borah’s position would have been unassailable. In de- ciding whether to recognize a govern- ment,,the way in which it came into existence is not a pertinent fact; neither are the political and social views of its governing heads. The point at issue is whether that govern- ment is the ruling power within the country and whether it has existed long enough to establish its supre- Oo neacant Puecion aneesnl AlaLy. — 4ne pREooMY Avusonnn pu Moen ment fulfills both requirements and the charge of insidious propaganda in this country has not been satisfac- torily proved to have an_ official stamp. Even Senator Lodge admits that the United States is in no im- mediate danger from the activities of foreign emissaries preaching social and political heresies. “Tf there is a sound basis in cus- tom for recognizing the Soviet gov- ernment, there are even more com- | pelling reasons for doing so.

MARKHLEVSKY In our revolutionary epoch the slogan “Workers of the World Unite,” is being carried into practice. ‘The Third International has in reality, be- come the general: staff guiding the struggle of the working class, and is from day to day gaining the confi- dence of the working masses. It is the aim of unifying the world proletariat which is ‘also pursued by our “International Organization of Aid for the Fighters of the Revolu- tion” (Mopr). When at the Fourth Congress of the Communist Interna- tional our organization was founded by the initiative of the “Society of Old Bolsheviks,” many were sceptical about it. The ruin caused by the im- perialist war and by the capitalist crisis had impoverished the working masses, and it seemed almost hopeless under such conditions to expect from the workers contributions for the benefit of prisoners and of the wives and children of those who had laid down their lives in the» struggle against capitalism, “But if the workers are not able to contribute anything from their mis- erable earnings, and there are no other sources of income, where are the necessary means for such an or- ganization to come from?” This is what the sceptics said; and it-is no use hiding the fact that even those upon whom. the Comintern Congress ing “RED AID” were not very hope- ful.as to the ereepece But after afew months MOPR was fitmly estab- Ished. Our organization is at present sending large Sums of money to the countries where the number of vic~ tims‘is very large, and has established a fund which ‘enables it to send at the first call the necessary aid when- ever a critical moment arises. The heroic proletariat of Soviet Russia takes first place in this great work of “Red Aid.” Here we witness the cheering phenomenon that not only communists, but wide masses of non-party workers and peasants re- spond to the call of the. Comintern. The whole country is being covered by the network of local MOPR organiza- tions, which are very successful in their activities. The fact that wide masses of workers give evidence in the form of the feeling of interna- tional solidarity (in spite of their difficult . position, the workers and peasants of Russia responded immedi- ately to our appeal) is one of the most gratifying experiences of our activities. At present there is not a single capitalist country where it is not necessary to come to the assistance of prisoners and their families. But conditions differ in various countries. At present Germany,.Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Finland and Esthonia are in the worst blight. also Bulgaria, where the working masses were com- their hand against reaction, but suf- fered defeat.and are now in a des- ale position. Other countries, ‘reat Britain, America and France, are going through a period of. a comparative quiet. The workers of these countries can help, and are helping, their brothers who are in the thick of struggle. It is the busi- ness of MOPR to o} ize this great work of brotherly aid, in order that the means are being collected are rationally distributed.

The board in the present decision holds that the contract entered into between the carrier and the contrac- tor for handling freight at the piers in question was a violation of the transportation act and of the board’s decisions in that it was made with the intention of evading the act and of establishing less favorable wages and. working conditions than the em- ployes were entited to under the act. It ordered the road to reimburse the employes for their resulting losses. Similar cases ‘before the board in- volve shopmen on such important car- riers as the Erie, Western Mary- land, Southern Pacific and Pennsyl- vania, to mention only a few; also freight handlers and maintenance of way employes on leading railroads. These cases resulted from a bare- faced attempt of the railroads to slash wages without even a pretense at collective bargaining. They ex- pected to wash their hands of all responsibilities under agreements and decisions of the board by getting a dummy contractor of the strike- breaking variety to do the work on a cost plus basis. The way this was done on the Western Maryland is typical. On Jan, 11, 1922, General Foreman C. J.

SABOTAGE ROCK ISLAND PLANT 10 AID PROFITEERS Skilled Machinists Lose Jobs at Arsenal (By The Federated Press) i ROCK ISLAND, Ill—Skilled ma- chinists who have served. the gov- ernment at the Rock Island arsenal from 10 to 80 years are being laid off by Col. D. M. King, commandant, because of lack of orders from gov- ernment departments. A high grade publicly owned fac- tory is being practically scrapped because the Washington administra- tion prefers to have its work done for private profit and the present commandant bows to the manufactur- ers who resent competition on an equal footing. The Rock Island arsenal in the last year did only $300,000 of work, altho the government placed total orders of over $350,000,000 with plants no better able than the arse- nal to turn out first class work. The previous commandant, Col. Harry B. Jordan, made a good fight for orders to keep his skilled em- ployes at work. The arsenal excu- tive of military stores is a plant valued at $58,000,000, with up-to-date machine shops, tool department, forges, foundries and pattern shops, woodworking department, sheet met- al and plating department and hy- draulic press department as well as laboratories and heat treating plant. There are almost 2,000,000 square feet’ of active floor space for manu- facturing purposes. Employes and others are enlisf- ing public support in a movement to keep this valuable federal plant intact and in working order thru placing of government orders there. They show that the nation can get work well done without exploitatio and that the war department, ir charge of the arsenal, should see the value to national defense of maintaining corps of skilled employes that know in productive work a the plant and can put it on its stm wae e pia most efficient productive basis. and 30 cents.
