Page Two W.VA, WAGE CUT SHOWS NEED OF CLOSING RANKS Life of Miners’ Union Periled by Expulsions By THOMAS MYERSCOUGH. Shades of war have again descended on the battle-scarred mine fields of West Virginia. Coming immediately after the ch r of that district has been susp the pronouncement ot the operate that wages will be Teduced bodes tidings to the niem- bers of the organization in that field. If the success of the open shop drive} in other sections of West Virginia can be taken as a criterion, then the offi- cials and every member of the United Mine Workers of America have a hard fight to win to save the life of the union. In the face of these happenings, and much to the delight of those in charge of the open shop drive, the officials concern themselves only with the per- petuity of their official lives. This concern on the part of the miners’ off- cials is manifested in every district, where there develops an opposition to their suicidal policies, by the revoca- tion or suspension of district auton- omy. West Virginia Situation. Let us for instance take the West Virginia situation. The autonomy of that district has just been suspended. The reason given was that differences of opinion exist. But unless the en- tire strength of that weakened dis- trict can be mobolized for the battle that is now gaining momentum it will be hard to even hazard a guess about victory. Much is said by the officials in convention and in other public ut- terances to the effect that we must close our ranks, but nothing is done to bring this conditon about. They want the ranks closed, yes, but to the exclusion of those who dif- fer with them in opinion. They seem to think, even after many demonstra- tions to the contrary, that, by exclud- ing such elements, they can sail grace- fully along in their sweet, serene way. That this cannot be done is proved by the present conditon of once pow- erful organizations that, at the insti- gation of their ruling officialdom, ex- cluded militant members as the min- ers’ organization has been attempting (Continued | thon page 1.) of the world. On the basis of the agrarian crisis there is developing the “scissors,” the discrepancy be- tween the prices of industrial goods and food products. The “scissors” is universal, The outstanding thing about the “scissors” is the untensified process of mistification and the monopoly price which industry can command. <A very important thing about the agrarian crisis is that it brings back the industrial crisis, All these circumstances sharpen the contrast between the classes. The expropriation of the middle class took place wherever there was infla- tion, On\the ether hand, there is a }confusion of the interest rates on gross capital in various countries. The event which can be foretold as coming about next is an extraordin- arily severe crisis in the United States. The foundations of American economic unity have been shattered. Universal Crisis. American industry will attempt to export unsaleable goods to Hurope. Germany is facing a new crisis, al- though a little less severe than the last one. The outlook as a whole shows that this year we shall under- go a universal period of crisis. The meaning of the expert’s report is that France is making bad investments and is prometing as a means control over German economic life. Germany is not in a positioh to im- port the accumulated money and goods from the country. This means an unavoidable holding up of the repa- rations payments. The optimistic ideas of Hilferding and the united Social-democracy, that with the solu- tion of the reparations question the crisis of capitalism will be avoided, are unfounded. Pacifist Illusions. The picturing of a better future, such as the Social-Democrats predict, raises illusions in the workers’ minds that the solution of the crisis is pos- siblé without revolution. Prepara- tions for war prove the contrary. At the present time there are a million more bayonets than there were be- fore the war. The crisis of capital- ist economic life cannot be hidden. In the year 1925 a sharp crisis in America and a consequent degenera- tion of economic life in Europe can be expected. The great battle be- tween the proietariat against capital- todo. The apathetic conditon of these unions should serve to warn the offi- cials of the U. M. W. of A. that noth- ing can be gained by the adoption of @ policy of that kind. Where the ex- ~pulsion of individuals has served to dampen the enthusiasm of others of like thought the result has always been to create a conditon of docility or indifference, with deterioration as an inevitable result. Need Every Miner in Fight. This statement is written with the thought in mind that the U. M. W. of A. needs not only the forces it now has, but also every man who mines coal or works in the industry as a member and soldier in its battles against the greedy operators. There- fore it is essential, when the ranks are closed as they should be, that every man eligible to membership, re- gardiess of his econamic or political beliefs, should be under the banner fighting shoulder to shoulder with his fellow-worker, comrade and brother against the common enemy. Let the question of differences of opinion be eared for by the membership, that vast body of men who provide the sustenance for the organization, trust- ing always to their good judgment as to what is good and bad for them, Only in this manner can the workers’ ranks be closed for a victorious fight. Missing Minister Found with K. K. K. Branded on His Back BATTLE CREEK, | Mich,, July 13.— The letters “K. K. K.” were discov- ered branded on the back of Rev. Oren Vanloon, Berkley (Mich.) pastor and bitter Klan foe, who was found here yesterday after being sought nearly two weeks. Rey. Vanloon lies in a hospital in a semi-conscious conditon. He can tell nothing of the branding, except that he was standing on the corner in Royal Oak. The letters burned on his back were about two inches high and two inches wide. Dr. A. F. Kingsley said the branding with a hot metal ap- parently had taken place since the minister’s disappearance. The min- ister’s face, hands and neck were very red and blistered. The pastor collapsed on the street here. A few hours later an examina- tion of papers in his pocket identified him as the missing clergyman. He was suffering from exhaustion and lack of food and his mind apparently was a blank as to what had befallen him in the last two weeks. Brotherly Ald. PHOENIX, Ariz., July 13.—Stricken with paralysis many months ago W. C. Myers lost hope of completing the little adobe home which he had start- ed, until members of Local 1089 Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join- ers of America, took the matter in hand. The brotherhood not only con- tributed the labor but the materials as well, The home ts now complete both electric and plumbing fix- installed. ism is drawing infallibly nearer. The outlook is that of revolution; every- thing else depends on the revolution- ary understanding and the capacity for war, of the Communist parties. Discuss Zinoviev’s Report. At the afternoon session of June 20, a committee was elected to examine into the affairs of Boris Souvarine. Another investigation was undertaken, which is to be directed against the subjection of the Chinese peoples, and against the persecution of the labor movement in China. After this be- gins the discussion of Zinoviev’s re- port. Treint of France declares the com- plete accord of the French delegates with Zinoviev’s statements. Currency inflation and the high cost of living are forcing the French middle: class into the ranks of the proletariat. Great class battles are being faced, in which the workers and farmers’ bloc, on one side, will stand in oposition to the forces of Fascism on the other. Concerning the trade union question, the speaker explains that the unifica- tion of the working class into an inter- national rtniak grouping is to be hoped fer, Zinoviev’s Formulation. When our enemies say that this is only a maneuver, we answer that it is @ maneuver in the interests of the working class. The French delega- tion accepts Zinoviev’s formulation of the United Front policy as follows: United Front policy imposed from above—this is never to be tolerated. It was an error to enter into the gov- ernment of Saxony, but crooked par- liamentarian deals are wrong. The international right wing ele- ments supported the mistakes of the German right wing; the Russian op- Position forces and tle Polish party acted in the same/ manner. The french party takes an unconditional stand, too, against the leftist errors of Bordiga. Above all, the develop- ment of the right wing elements into an international bloc was remarkable. The French party will fight the ex- perts’ report along with the Commun- ist Party of Germany, of England, of Belgium. The Congress must formu- late the methods to be used in this fight. As the Third Congress fought against the dangers of leftism, the Fifth Congress must fight chiefly against the dangers of right wing ele- ments. Forgot Lenin’s Teaching. Raul, representing the workers of Germany, goes on to say that the German workers believe that they should have fought in October. The chief mistake during the October up- rising was that the party leadership forgot Lenin’s lesson concerning the arbitrary role of the party. The United Front policy is a correct one, but opportunistic leadership ‘can ruin @ good policy. It is to be hoped that the Comintern will succeed in turning the parties of the west to Bolshevism. The October events in Poland prove that an iron-handed Bolshevik leader- ship is lacking there. The Polish Cen- tral Committee terrorized the Polish opposition and supported the opposi- tion of the Communist Party of Rus- sia, and that was a big mistake. ‘For British Mass Party. Brown (of England) declares that the Congress must take a decided stand on the question of the United Front, for many are blaming this pol- icy, only because of past mistakes in its use. The Executive Committee is quite correct, if it feels that the build- ing of a mass party in England is the most pressing problem of the Comin- tern. The speaker points out that in estimating the situaiton the Commun- ist Party of England is often wrong. The English party up to now has not been in a position to criticize the La- bor Party of England, for that party has as yet done nothing. THE tadobit ths WORK ES Communists Discuss World Economic Situation The policy of the Communist Party of Germany in Halle, in the Furstenwals, in,the metal trades congress, was cor- Jaquemotte (of Belgium) laments the fact that the Executive Commit- tee does not give more consideration to the Belgian party. The party may be small, but its activity and its in- fluence are greater than the number of its members. The party wishes to throw itself into the international struggle against the experts’ report. Dispelling Illusions. Petrowski (Russian Communist Party) states that MacDonald is pop- ular with the petty bourgeoisie. The disgontent of the workers is growing, the left wing of the trade union move- ment is growing stronger, the wave of strikes is dispelling muddle-headed illusions. The Communist Party of England has great possibilities. A break with the Labor Party would be a mistake, for this would constitute a break with the trade unions, and therefore a break with the working masses. The Labor Party and the trade unions present the flelds of ac- tivity for the Bnglish party. The Con- gress must analyze the situation in a concrete manner and must help the English comrades, The establishment of a daily newspaper is to be desired. Roy (of India) expresses the opin- ion that the chief task of the Comin- tern is the building up of a strong Communist Party in England. The labor movement in England is devel- oping imperialist groups, for the Eng- lish bourgeoisie can corrupt the work- ing class by talking of the conomic benefits derived from the colonial peoples. The speaker points out that the faith of the English workers in MacDonald is still great. The activ- ity of the English Communist Party must encircle the world. The chief task is the application of the United Front policy to the opressed colonial peoples, and the waging of a bitter fight against imperialist ideology and against the betrayal of the English workers into the hands of bourgeois democracy. Fighting Rightism. | Severing (of Germany) states that the German proletariat passed a his- toric landmark in October. The chief fact about this serious breakdown is the formation of right wing groups, so that the main task consists of fight- ing right wing dangers. As early as the Fourth Congress an attempt was made to)come to some agreement with the right wing German workers, since this group has a great influence with the Czech, German and Italian opposi- tion. Radek has falsified history if he conceals this fact. The Leipzig convention struck a blow at the spirit of the Fourth Con- gress, for Brandler wished to exclude the organizations, from Berlin, Ham- burg and the Ruhr district. Only Zin- oviev and the Bxecutive Committee prevented a split. The German left maneuvers, but rather against the sys- tem of opportunism which the Com- munist parties inherited from the Social-Democracy. Radek is to be held responsible for the formation of right wing groups in the Communist Party of Germany even more than Brandler is. The basis of Radekism is lack of TRUST CONROLS WORKERS’ LIVES (Continued from page one) ments, machining, assembling, paint- ing, packing and shipping depart- me! and when we have less men In thes departments we would like to have our forces in the non-productive departments go down in the same pro- portion. “But they wont because we have certain departments such as the power plant force, that are the same regardless of conditions in the shop, and it is impossible to make reduc- tions in such forces. But there are ways in which every man can help reduce it.” Grant, after telling the men that they would probably lose their jobs in the near future, strongly hinted that those who are retained are going to get wage reductions. And this com- pany-union organization is supposed to benefit the employes! “1 think we have been neglectful in enforcing the old tule that the com- pany pays for good work only,” said Grant. I do no® think there was any- thing unproper in the rule that the company would only be expected to pay for good pieces.” ‘Piece Workers Protest. The workers in the piece work shops certainly disagree with our alt- ruistic superintendent on this point. Often the defective pieces are worked on for long periods of time, going thru several operations such as reaming, before a blow hole or other defect is discovered. There is no reason why the company should not pay us for, this time, which is unavoidably put in, certainly not for our own interests but as company time. Mr. Grant wants us to do two jobs when we get paid for only one. He said, “Let's everyone pass on his own work—be an inspector.” The com- pany should pay for an adequate force of inspectors, instead of making the piece workers inspect their own work, and retusing to pay them for unavoid- able defects. “There is, not very much in sight for the summer,” Grant told the men. “If it had not been for foreign orders, the McCormick works would have had a very siim year.” Company Union Gags §; Along with the use of the council as a Heanewned tor’ fasuing orders to the men, the Harvester company uses it as a means. to spread loyalty, patriotic and Americanization propa- gande. Every attempt to discuss socialism, or any problem which vital- ly affects the interests of the em- ployes, is stopped by the International Harvester officials. When August Pritzke, one of the employes representatives, timidly sug- gested at the meeting of the council held on May 9, that he “would like to give a talk on the bubject of Social- ism, Evolution and Recreation in rela- tion to Employes,” Mr. Grant refuged Pritzke permission to speak, declaring, “We usually try and keep council business confined to matters of mutual interest to employes and the company, and this looks like a pretty broad sub- ject to cover.” Then he went on to discuss the laying off of more em- ployes and reduction of the piece workers wages.

Petko Petkoff, a peas- ant member of parliament, was killed by agents of the White Guard govern- ment when they failed to frame him up on a charge of conspiracy to mur- ‘der members of the cabinet. Petkoff, both in his paper, People’s Defense, and in parliament, had car- ried on a bold and bitter campaign against the white terror. For reply the government charged him with con- spiracy, First Frameup Fails. Two months ago the minister of the interior read in the chamber of depu- ties a declaration signed by many peasants accusing Petkoff of conspir- acy. Petkoff rose and produced the bloody shirt of a peasant who had re- fused to sign the charges against him and who was beaten to death. In a brilliant and bitter speech Petkoff completely turned the tables on his accusers, and the session broke up in disorder, Shortly after came the charges from the same minister of the interior that Petkoff was plotting the assassination of the cabinet. Demands Trial; Killed. There was no evidence to support the charges. and Petkoff applied to the courts to be put on trial and demand- ed to be shown the proofs of his guilt. Three days later he was murdered. Political murders are frequent in this country, as they are in Italy, and, like Italy, when the victim is of the opposition the murderers are never caught. Just now the country is aroused over this latest outrage. Arrest Secret Police Agent. Petkoff was a man of international reputation and had powerful friends both in this and other European countries, so something had to be done, An agent of the secret police has been arrested, charged with the Killing. wing is not fighting against the use of | faith in the Buropean revolution. Radek and Brandler strove to trim Bolshevism according to the West European pattern; they look on So- ial-Democracy as the deciding factor of the European labor movement; they consider a workers’ government possible within the framework of bourgeois democracy, which is a com- plete negation of Lenin’s theory of the state. The German left wing is not against our partial demands, but it is against the opportunistic intetpretation of these partial demands, as, for exam- ple, in the case of the taxation of real property. Brandler’s and Smeral’s for- mulation of workers’ government is no accident, but rather a systematic opportunistic theory. The Commup- ists must come out into the open, if they are to win over the Social-Demo- cratic workers. Zinoviev’s formula of a workers’ government as a propa- ganda is a happy one, but union or coalition with Social-Democracy must be declined. Blames Radekism. Radek’s thesis, that Fascism over- threw the November republic, is op- portunistic. Radek wanted to base our policy on the differences of opin- ion in the bourgeoisie—again opnor- tunistic. The conduct of the French and the English parties toward the MacDonld government, various acts on the part of the Dutch comrades, Wynkop and Thalheimer, show that Radekism is a menace on an interna- tional scale. Radek was aware that it was a mistke to enter into the re- gime in Saxony without the decision of the shop stewards’ congress. Ra- dek five times prevented the calling together of this congress. Radek for- bade the holding of anti-Fascist day; he sounded the retreat for the May strike in the Ruhr district; he kept the masses from the fight during the Cuno strike. A fight was possible and necessary in October, but the opportunistic Ra- dekistic party leadership called off the battle in Chemnitz, while at the same time Hamburg decided on a fight. After the October retreat, Ra- dek forbade party discussion in the Communist Party of Germany, and drove the party toward a split that was prevented only by the Executive Committee. The party is now in sound conditon; it was saved by the Executive Committee. October Almost Forgotten. Radek’s stand in the discussion on the Communist Party of Russia is con- sistent with his opportunistic German policy. Thanks to the new leader- ship, the Communist Party of Ger- mny has almost forgotten the October debacle and is now welded together into a unified whole. The leftist ten- dency does not exist as an organized group; the Central Committee is fight- ing the Menshevist groups: The new leaders are making mistakes, too, but they see their mistakes, they try to rectify them. Their chief error is that the comrades allow themselves to be torn away from the voice of the masses, that they do not yet know how to be leaders. The new leaders must wipe out Brandlerism, for right Baron Munchausen Talks to Two Fakers On Davis Nomination By BARON MUNCHAUSEN. In offering the views of the two gen- tlemen whom I had the honor to inter- view for the DAILY WORKER, I hope your readers will not conclude that Messrs. Gompers and Cook are not subject to conviction. In fact, one of them is already convicted. Mr. Gompers is still at large. In view of their outstanding person- ality, I feel, I am voicing the opinions of all real Americans when I say that a dirty trick has been played on the honorable professions followed by these two estimable gentlemen in not receiving the nomination for the presi- dency.

It is rumored, however, that Dr. Cook is mentioned for secretary of the interior in the event of Davis being successful at the polls next November) while Mr. Gompers is slated to take Mr. Mellon’s place as chief prohibition enforcement director. Samuel Gompers said, in his sleep: “The democratic nominee for the pres- ent social order, which is the best we have had since I first became presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor.

The Yel- low Kid and myself were figuring on breaking the deadlock in the fall of 1927, but we were double crossed by Robert Brindell of Sing Sing, who was opposed to me because I did not let him in on my oil business.

In the elections of the shop stewards the results were particularly brilliant. Stay in the| Unions. Retreats occurred only where Brandlerism rules, The Central Com. mittee hesitated on the question of the trade unions, but now it is put- ting up a hard fight against the move- ment to get out of the unions. The experts’ report is inaugurating a new period of struggle in which the party is putting up a fight without quarter, with power as its object. In the ques- tion of the United Front the Congress must work out a concrete policy for every country. The present explana- tion of Smeral is a scholarly trick of diplomacy. There is danger in the fact that in Czecho-Slovakia the events in Saxony are recurring. The English party must be Communistic not only on Sundays, but also on week days, and it must put up,a sharper fight against MacDonald. The Com- munist Party of Germany declares for the fusion of the Communist Party of Italy with the Italian Socialists. The chief task at present is the fight against Radekism and Bandlerism on an international scale, and the crea- tion of a unified Bolshevik party all over the world. | This speech was often interrupted by cheering. It was loudly applauded. Czecho.Slovaks With Comintern. In the name of the minority of the Czecho-Slovak delegation (Venzell, Friedfeld, Meierowa, Tschulen, Vert- schik), Vengell declares the complete accord of the Communist Party of Czecho-Slovakia with Zinoviev’s criti- cism of the Central Committee of Czecho-Slovakia. Smeral’s present explanation has not cleared up the sit- uation at all, for he has not sufficient- ly done away with opportunistic ten- dencies, or, rather, he has not done away with them at all. The Central Committee of Czecho-Slovakia is in opposition on the Russian and German questions indifferently. Thru this the common task of the Communist Party of Czecho-Slovakia and of the Comin- tern was made more difficult. The speech enumerates further op- portunistic erroneous groups, which must be fought in the spirit of Bolshe- vism. (Applause.) In the name of the Balkan Federa- tion, Boschkowitsch declares its com- plete accord with the Executive Com- mittee. Danger of war, national prob- lems, agrarian problems, and imperial- ist rivalries are threatening the equi- librium of the Balkans. The Balkan Federation accepts Zinoviev’s formu- lation of the United Front policy and the workers’ government. Hirsch (of the Communist Party of Czecho-Slovakia) makes an explana- tion in which he shows that the Czecho-Slovak Communist youth is in full agreement with the Executive Committee. Aside from the mistakes already mentioned, there are serious opportunistic groupings in the Com- munistic Party of Czecho-Slovakia on national and agrarian questions. The inversion of the party position on the question of nuclei will be pushed by every means: The party must first become Bolshevik. End of the session. Against Capitalism Monday, uly 14, 1928 Rail Chiefs in Flop To LaFollette Can’t Break Wall St. Ties (Continued from preceding page.) Heading big insurance societies and in some cases coal mines where strikes are met by strictly business methods, they have, so to speak, win- dows opening on Wall Street. Nurtured McAdoo Sentiment. The railroad union leaders nurtured the McAdoo sentiment for years. In union halls and in their press, above all in their official paper “Labor,” they sounded‘his praise. McAdoo was invited as the guest of honor at rail- road union affairs. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Broth- erhood of Firemen, McAdoo’s remarks were spread over an entire page of “Labor.” The mischief now is done. This long term propaganda in favor of McAdoo has ‘bred a confidence in him among thousands of the less clear thinking members of the brother- hoods, A sudden shift of their lead- ers to another man does not erase th effect of this propaganda. The confidence in McAdoo means confi- dence in McAdoo’s pronouncements— to a sufficient extent to swing thou- sands of votes, Will They Repudiate McAdoo? Davis managers are chuckling at this situation. The McAdoo endorse- ment means some additional strength for them, regardless of what the rail union leaders do. But they will gain still more votes unless the union offi- cials are aggressively hostile, not only to Davis, but to McAdoo, Only by a vigorous repudiation of the oily Doheny attorney can the effects of the McAdoo endorsement be largely destroyed. That is not expected. ’ In failing to repudiate McAdoo and all his workers, now that he has openly allied himself with Morgan’s lawyer, the rail union leaders will be double crossing any other candi- date they endorse. However one of the most powerful of the brotherhoods, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, has not en- dorsed the acts of the C. P. P. A. convention and is still free to give full official support to the man Mc- Adoo endorses. Wall Street To LaFollette. The rail union leaders have one leg in the democratic party and another leg in the LaFollette movement. Thru the democratic leg they are in very close footing with Wall Street, with the big open shop oppressors of union labor. That the two old parties are con- trolled by Wall Street has beconte an axiom. And the LaFollette movement, backed by the poor relations of Wall Street, the railroad labor bankers, of- fers no hope of a clear-cut tle against J. P. Morgan. The only party of that kind is the one which has the ticket of William Z. Foster and Ben Gitlow in the field. It is uncompromising. Its members are workingmen, not labor bankers.
