Monday, March 3, 1924 THE DAILY WORKEK BROCKTON STRIKE CASES. TRIED SHOE CO. JUDGES 167 Cases Left from the Big Strike (Special to The Daily Wotker; BROCKTON, Mass., Mar, 2.—To- day, the cases of the Brockton strik- ers are before the state supreme court. The cases developed from the revolt of 15,000 shoe workers against the inhuman decisions of: the State Board of Arbitration last May, against the manufacturers, and against the Boot and Shoe Workers Union, which assented to the award. During the eighth week of the strike, their “fellow worker” (sic), a former shoe worker, upon whose sup- port they relied: implicitly, declared the strike illezal. The defia it atrik- ers went on the picket line, and 141 were arrested, under an obsolete law against loitering passed tn Istyg, aimed at street walkers. In all, there are 167 cases, the remainder being on assault end battery, ond dis- turbance of the peace charges. As- sault and oattery is the charge Placed against those who got in the way of the cops and were beaten up. The cases were originally held over for'the supreme court in October, but a mayoralty election was coming in December, so for political reasons the trials were put off until 1924, Refused To Compromise. At a meeting of the strikers held a week ago Sunday, Attorney Geoghan stated that Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Williams was willing to accept a fine of $5, from those ar- rested for loitering, provided they pleaded guilty. The original fine was $10, and it was from this that an appeal was taken. For the others, half the fine would be accepted, ex- cept for a few of whom an example must be made by a jail sentence, To plead guilty meant to acknowl- edge that they” had no right to strike, that they wore satisfigl with a state of involuntary servitude, that they were quitters, This the men re- solved never to do; rather than plead guilty, they would go to jail, The judges sitting in the case are hostile to labor, Judge Avery of Quincy, hearing the smaller cases, being one of the most reactionary. The bench is controlled by the shoe manufacturers. The original court sentence, in fact, was imposed by Judge Rowe, whose brother belongs to a shoe firm. The other public officials are likewise controlled. Mayor No. Friend. The present Mayor, Bullivant, was elected by the strikers, but does nothing for them. Even before elec- tion, he campaigned for law and or- der,, Manning, who was licked, howl- ed against the Bolshevists, the strik- ers, waving the American flag, and damning the red one. No candidate advocated the strikers’ cause; but the workers, instead of putting up their own candidate on their own program, went out to lick Manning. Manning was Ticked, but Bullivant was elected and the interests of la- bor were not advanced one whit. The defense of the strikers is be- ing handled by the Brockton Labor Defense Council, an organization which confines its activities solely to the Brockton strike cases.

The struggle within the party, which ‘was exaggerated and perverted by the paid liars of the capitalist press into a civil war, with the |. minority and the majority leading armies against each other, can only be understood from reading this speech and those that will follow. We advise you not to miss a single issue of ther DAILY WORKER as we will publish each day a portion of the discussion. Kamenev’s speech continued from last Saturday’s issue follows: i KAMENEY SAID. I am of the opinion that when a member of the Party is in doubt about anything, he should apply to his organization, discuss the matter there, and try to gain a majority, but all within the confines of the Party. But if he goes to other peopie, or to comrades belonging to quite a different party. then he commits a crime. We know very well that there are many comrades engaged espe- cially in the formation of groups. We have nothing against differ- ences of opinion. Let us assume that differences of opinion arise amongst Us today with regard to this or that decree, or this or that enactment. The comrades meet and debate. Thus, for instance, the question of currency re- form fs on the agenda, a question Soviet power and for the Party. Per. who are not in-agreement with the manner in which this reform is to be carried out. But this is an acci- dental difference of opinion, subject to discussion in the Party. Treading On Dangerous Ground. But when these same comrades, after being united all these years on one and the same platform, now come to us and say that thev are not in agreement with us at all, and that they can form a group comniete in itself, then they must permit us, who are no infants in political ex- perience, to say that we do not be- lieve this. We say to them: Yon are treading on dangerous ground, on ground forbidden by the Congress, U.S, BRICKLAYER IS SPEED MODEL FOR LEVERHULME Australians Four Times Slower, He Says SYDNEY, Australia, March 2.— Lord Leverhulme, the British soap- king, told members of the Employers’ Federation at an entertainment in his honor that employers did not exploit the workers, but that the workers exploited the bosses. This raised thunderous cheers from the capital- ists present, 4 @ was again cheered when he as- serted that in America bricklayers laid four times as many bricks as in Australia, and urged that local em- loyers should not put up with what e called the dictation of Union offi- cials, No Profits! He made the astounding assertion j—-though he was careful to add that he could not prove it—that if the profits of industry were set against the losses, the net return from in- dustry would not do more than give mortgage rental on the capital in- 4: vested, He forgot, however, to advance a reason why the bosses continued to engage in industry when, according to his assertion, they could get the same return by simply investing their money in mortgages, Another remark by Leverhulme that was roundly applauded by the bosses was that increased production did not benefit the boss alone. It merely helped him to buy more stock, increase his machinery, and give more employment. He added that his antidote for unemployment was more production. Leverhulme, however, made one statement that did not meet with the approval of the local bosses. He said that it was necessary that gov- ernments should have control over industries, but that they must also see that human greed did not exceed human brotherhood. The local bosses did not cheer that remark, while the leading capitalistic news-sheets of Sydney failed to report it, Union Organizer Nails Lie, Jack Kilburn, organizer of the Bricklayers’ Union branded Lever- hulme’s statement about the 4 to 1 speed of American mechanic over e Australian’s as a gross absurdity, What reduced output does exist, Kilburn said, is due to the irritating tactics of employers. if the soap really wishes facts he should come to the Trades Hall and get them. 43 A; SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH, 1924 SIGN Fill out the blank below and mail immediately UP!

It commits errors, just as all our Party members do. And those Party members who have been placed in responsible positions by the Party, the economists, the co-opera- tors—do they not make mistakes too? To be sure they do, errors which really concern the Party, our mistakes which effect the actual body of the Party, these cut much more deeply. As a general rule, however, the Party apparatus has carried out the policy dictated it by the Central. The apparatus is a tool, an instru- ment, and if you are not going to a acapectonal ith, bapidinene admit that the apparatus has carried out its poliev, if you are going to undermine the general policy by th slogan of : “Dismissal of the old ap- paratus-men from their posts,’”? then the Party will not permit this. It will renew its apparatus systemati- cally, and cure its diseases.

In view of the fact that these ef- forts have brought no results and the ‘Glos Robotniczy’ continues its cam- paign of slanders afd misrepresenta- tions of the Party, the Central Ex- ecutive Committee declares that the ‘Glos Robotniczy’ is not worthy of any moral or financial support by friends of the Communist movement in the United States, “Tt also calls attention to the fact that the persons controlling this paper are also the leading element ‘in the organization known as the Interna- tional Publishing Association, and that this organization has no connec- tion with the Workers Party and its ‘attitude is hostile to the Party.” Reader Thinks Dome Scandal Is None of Our Business To the DAILY WORKER—Does it lons were drunk befor2 vhe plant was|ever occur to you: That the great eiforts now made to liberate prison- large |ers of war out of the penitentiary sack-fulls of empty whisky bottles |of Leavenworth has an economic as- ect, as hardy, developed bodies can r of great service to produce profits inmates had confessed they |for some of the pals of these fore- “dope” and then sub-| Most citizens.

In conclusion, I should like to put one more question to myself and to you; Here we have a resolution and a historical turning point, which are in themselves naturally not of such essential importance as the change of tactics involved in the NEP. We have afforded the guarantee that the change implied in this resolution is going to be carried out with the smallest possible detriment to the Party, and the question as to what is going to be done towards the ex- ecytion of the Central’s decisions can be answered perfectly clearly: “Party life is to be renewed from top to bottom, all questions of a po- litical and economic character are to be submitted to debate among the broad lower strata of the Party; our apparatus is to be systematically re newed at the new elections; comrades are to be elected and not appointed. Thus the resolution of the Central can be carried out.” But what must not be allowed to happen is the fol- lowing: at this critical turning point no groupings must be permitted, whether factional or other groups; no one section of the Party must be incited against another; the evolu, tion being performed by the Party must not be converted into a conceal- ed struggle for power within the Party. Then we shall fulfill our task. If we prove too weak to offer jresistance against those who are at | present trying to play off the Party against itself; if we are not firm !enough in this respect, then we shall be criminals in the eyes of the whole Party and of the next Party confer- lence. I am profoundly convinced that the Moscow organization will not commit this error, that it will dare everything, will discuss the whole criticism thoroly in its nuclei, and will finally, with all determina- tion and caution, and with due obser- vation of the old Bolshevist disci- pline and the old Bolshevist ideology, perform the necessary evolution, and not permit anyone to hinder it in doing so. ILLINOIS MINERS JOINING BATTLE FOR FOREIGN BORN Davis Laws and Klan The Issues (Special to The Daily Worker) JOHNSTON CITY, Ill., March 2.— Councils for the Protection of For- eign Born are forming in the mining towns of southern Illinois where so many of the workers are of Euro- pean extraction, Johnson City’s new council will hold a big mass meeting March 9 to protest against the selective immi- gration bills now pending in Con- gress. F. R. Sullivan of St. Louis will be the principal speaker. To Fight K. K. K.

Bootleg- gers and gamblers are barred from membership. 4 - The local Slovakian National Bene- fit Society has protested to Washing- ton against the enactment of any special legislation against the for- eign born and condemns categoric- ally the bills in the interest of busi- ness on selective immigration. The national organization, with head- quarters in Chicago, and with a membership of 50,000, is urged to lege in a similar protest. e that the Croation National Benefit Society, with offices at Pittsburgh, has sent in a ringing protest. West Frankfort Council. West Frankfort is forming a coun- cil for the Protection of the Foreign Born now. At a recent meewng a committee of six was chosen to ar- range mass meetings and organize other protests, Other mining towns are forming councils of this kind. The miners are aroused by the strike-breaking char- acter of the Davis bills, which would compel every one of the millions of foreign born workers to register with the authorities who would work for his deportation if he stood up for the rij of his class.

The Central Labor Council of Belleville has formed a committee for the relief of the German workers. | Relief will be sent in equal portions the Protestant and Catholic Church committee and the Friends of Soviet Russia and Workers Germany.

AMALGAMATED — WON 44 HOURS FOR BELLEVILLE A. F. of L. Council Is Glad for Aid (Speetl to The Daily Werker) BELLEVILLE, Ill., March 2.— | Belleville one of the best organized cities in Illinois, suddenly woke up to the fact that the pants makers of that city were working under sweat- shop conditions, working 12 and 14 hours per day for wages ranging as low as $9.00 per week. The situation came to a climax when one of the girls failed to come home for supper. Her father went to the factory and found she had been locked in and was being compelled to do a certain amount of work be- fore being allowed to go home. United Fails. This condition was brought to the attention of the Central Labor Coun- cil, which took immediate action, writing to the United Garment Work- ers, asking them to send in an or- ganizer, assuring them the support of the council. No action was taken by the United Garment Workers, so they invited the Amalgamated Clothing Workers to send in their organizer. Immediately the owner of the fac- tory became alarmed and threatened to move the factory to another town. The answer of the Central Labor Council to this threat was to ask the unions of Belleville to give the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers their moral and financial assistance. Amalgamated Wins Men, The Amalgamated sent in a num- ber of organizers, who held a meeting with a few of the leaders in the factory. The next day a lock-out was declared. The Amalgamated on behalf of the girls, put in a demand for the 44-hour week, recognition of the union, and the adjustment of prices, They gave all the workers strike benefits, whether they belonged to the union or not. The factory was tied up 100% and remained so until the settlement of the strike. The last attempt to break up the united front of the workers was made by a representative of the Board of Trade who appeared before the Cen- tral Labor Council, and tried to get them to withdraw their support from the Amalgamated Garment Workers on the grounds that they were not affiliated with the American Federa- tion of Labor and did not carry the union label. He was taken aback when one of the delegates showed him the A. C. W. union label, and capitulated com- pletely when the Central Labor Coun- cil passed a resolution which will be sent to the Illinois convention of the United Mine Wi of - : asking them to use their influence with the American Federation of La- bor to have the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers recognized in preference to the United Garment Workers. Union Conditions. An agreement has been entered into by the Amalgamated, which esta- blishes for the first time in this fac- ory, the rights of the workers to have some say as to their wages and work- ing conditions. The recognition of the union and the 44-hour week has been established, From now on no one but members of the Amalgamated can be hired. An edinstment on prices has been made. The wages and conditions are by no means the best, but as one girl puts it, we did not win the world with our little strike, but we won the opportunity to develop and from now on watch our smoke.
