Page Four ARREST WORKERS PARTY SPEAKERS IN DENVER, COLO. Mass Meeting Stopped; Mother Bloor Arrested (Special to The Daily Worker) DENVER, Colo. Sept. 7.—A free "speech fight is on here due to the breaking up of a Workers Party street meeting and the arrest of the speakers by the chief of the City Hall Secret Service, Ed. Young. Ella Reeve Bloor was chairman of the meeting. She had just finished in- troducing Stanley J. Clark, the first Speaker of the evening, when Chief ‘Young walked up to her and asked for her permit. As soon as the permit was handed to him he pocketed it and in- formed Comrade Bloor that it had been revoked and there was to be no meet- Ing. Bloor and Clark Arrested. Comrade Bloor asked Clark to pro- teed with his addres: of this meeting,” she to proceed under your constituti rights.” Clark spoke two words and both he and Comrade Bloor were ar- rested. William Deitrich then took the Platform and after a few words he too ‘was arrested. While the secret service man Young was calling the patrol wagon, James P. es talked for ten minutes. Young failing to show up again, Comrade Bloor asked the crowd ‘whether they wanted the meeting con: tinued, All the 500 present raised their Editor’s Note——With the saber rattling administration at Washing- ton exerting every effort to rouse the workers of the nation td what is thought to be a proper observance of “Goose-Step Day,” Sept. 12, it is particularly timely to publish today the closing installment of the Mani- festo, issued by the Fifth .

A new war would mean first of all, the mass ruin of the peasants and farmers, the depopulation and desola- tion of the country side. the conver- sion of the land, cultivated by long generations of peasantry, into waste desert and cemeteries. For Europe; as a whole, it would mean the destruc- tion of civilization, the wreck of all the hopes of liberation for which several ‘generations of workers have already |fought. Everything that is being done today in human society—in the realm of eco-| nomics, politics, science, or art—is of secondary importance in connection with the gigantic task of finding some geois governments, to vote against the budget:~~Any “socialist who enters a bourgeois ministry, any deputy who helps a bourgeois government to col- lect its taxes, or who draws the work- ers and peasants into military serv- ice—is a traitor and a villain. There ean-be-no place for such a person in the ranks of the working class. We must drive from the trade unions every leader who directly. or indirectly aids, justifies, or supports militarism. We must clean the proletarian or- ganizations of political strike-break- ers. We must remind all workers, men and women of how the last war was prepared, and how the Social Democrats for four years helped im- perialism to destroy the workers and peasants. We must appeal tirelessly to the youth of town and country. The inhuman suffering of their fath- ers and older brothers during the im- perialist war must be transformed in the worker and peasant youth to a burning hatred of the perpetrators of the war. It is necessary that the youth enter the-capitalist’ armies with an inward “determination to direct their arms not against their brother- proletarians, but against their class enemy; the bourgeoisie. We must la- bor tirélessly to beak down those ar- tificial walls which exist between the army and the working class. We must maifitaina”ctose connection with the barracks. We must see that the word of truth reaches every soldier. We must unite the class conscious sol- diers into small. groups. establish a revolutionary organization We must jon an iron foundation from the most courageous and devoted of the prole- tarian fighters. We must direct our attention to the military factories. In eacn of these there must be a strong militant nucleus, which will be capa- ble at the decsive moment of carry- ing with them all the working masses. The bourgeoisie fear neither pacifist preaching, nor the Social Democrats’ threat of a general strike. But the bourgeoisie tremble with hatred /and fear at the news of the formatidn of each little illegal nuclei on the rail- roads, in the military factories, and especially in the army and fleet. The bourgeoisie know that there is not a single worker or peasant or soldier who wants war, and that it is only their lack of organization and self- confidence which forces them to go submissively to war. The bourgeoisie way to prevent a new war and thus to ruin. This can be done only by the workers under the leadership of the revolutionary proletariat. No repres- sive measures, no forces of militarism will avail, if the workers present a united front against war. The ma- chines of murder are harmless, until they are set in action by a human be- ing. And the overwhelming majority of these human beings are workers and peasants. This is you, workers! On you depends the fate of war, and consequently, your own fate. The struggle against militarism can- not be put off until war actually breaks out, for then it is already too late. The struggle against war must be carried on right now, immediately, from day to day.

This is the reason that every capi- talist government, whatever its démo- cratic guise, persecutes- mercilessly all_real revolutionary work, and this is the reason that it is the duty of every revolutionist to increase his ef- forts in this direction ten-fold. Only that party which from day to day carries on an unremitting struggle against the bourgeoisie; that party which rallies the workers to the struggle; which has learned to hate the domination of capital; which in- fects the masses with this hatred; which prepares the necessary forces and means for the combat; which es- tablishes bases of support for the evolution in the barracks—only such THE DAILY WORKER Class War Against Imperialist War confidence and support to the bour-The Communist Parties of every country may” bé~” such ~a~—-direoting force, The-militant association of all these. parties “constitutes the Com- munist International. We, the dele- gates of this International, gathered together*for the fifth time for our world Congress, in Moscow;~which has been made free by the efforts’ of the workers and peasants, address to you, workers of all lands, these words of reminder, of warning, and of sum- mons! Victory is only possible if there is a will to victory, and a faith in vic- tory. Victory can only be attained by rallying around the party which is eager for victory, and can lead to victory. Workers! Let the question of war be the touchstone by which you test the loyalty of parties and leaders. Truly, the workers have been hoaxed long enough by the words, the phras- es, the promises, the bombastic lies of the demagogues. Demand action, examine the facts. Down with the charlatans of pacifism who in time of peace carry on a wordy war against war, but at the first sound of shot are transformed into chauvinist jack- als. Down with those socialists who rail against the oppression of the bourgeoisie in the newspapers and at meetings, and then in the hour of dif- ficulty for the bourgeoisie, become their staunchiest supporters. Down with the yellow Amsterdam trade un- ionists who take their orders from the bourgeoisie ministers and the mag- nates of capital. Down with those traitors who vote the money for War, who help to build capitalist armies to bourgeoisie support colonial slavery, and thus prepare new wars....Down with the Menshevist leaders of political and trade union organizations. Drive them away, expose..them, boyéott them, force them out of the ranks of the working class. Watch them sharply, size them up, place no confi- dence in their words, but examine their deeds—and you will become convinced that there is only one par- ty which is ready to lead you into bat- tle and able to guarantee victory— the ‘in ths ra Party. Look at Rus- defend the state, Who sia: in this vast but backward.coun- try; the revolutionary party created by the genius of Lenin was able not only to overthrow its own bourgeoisie but to defend the government, of the workers against innumerable enemies. In the face of enormous difficulties, consequent on the backwardness of the country, the low cultural level, Jana the enormity of the destruction produced by two successive wars, ‘the workers and peasants are erecting stone by stone the structure of the Socialist commonwealth.

It mentbhers is shown by the achievements in the Jewish branch of The following quotation from a letter from Max Lerner, ‘district organizer in Clevevland, tells the story of how a branch which was not functioning very well was turned into one of the most effective party units in that city. Program Outlined. “In respect to the entire pro- gram of action of the party, the district committee has decided to carry on a reorganization campaign in the district to make ef- fective the program of action outlin- ed. The motion as passed by the dis- trict committee, is to the effect that every branch thru its Executive Com- mittee go over its membership one by one calling before it those who are delinquent either in dues payment ac- tive participation in party work, at- tendance of meetings, etc., with view of dropping those who do not respond or who will not become active after their standing has been reviewed. “In this we are following closely the method of reorganization accomplish- ed very excellently in the Jewish branch of Cleveland. The Jewish Branch of Cleveland thru its Execu- tive Committee went over all of its members and called the delinquents before it by registered letter or in some cases sent committees to visit same. When the membership found that the branch was pursuing its task of reorganization seriously the re- sponse was practically a hundred per cent. At one meeting I am informed, there was something like $150 in back dues paid up for one, and for another the Meetings of the Jewish branch are the best attended I have yet seen of all the branches we have. Of the some sixty odd members very few are absent. The result of the reorganization has been that ev- ery member has been assigned to one of the committees outlined by the pro- gram of action and has to continually ber is now keyed up to get new mem- bers because of the requirements from himself. The best response in getting signatures on petitions has been from the Jewish branch. And only two members had to be finally dropped and they were dropped for non-payment of dues. Every Member On Job. “The successful reorganization of the Jewish branch has convinced us that the program of action of the party can be the more effectively car- ried ‘out by getting every single mem- ber on the job thru the above reor- ganization means and in that way get- ting the necessary material for full committees in every respect as well as for the general party activities. In some branches the reorganization may mean the losing of a few mem- bers temporarily but we are sure that many more members will be gained as a result of the determination of the party to get to work and hold ey- ery member responsible for his being in the party.” The work accomplished has inspir- ed the City Executive Committee of Cleveland to go about the reorganiza- tion of the whole party organization of Cleveland in an effort to place the other branches on the same footing as the Jewish branch. What is being done in Cleveland, can be done by every party unit. We cafl increase the effectiveness of our work 100 per cent if we go at it earnestly and real- ly make an effort, You can get sample copies of the DAILY WORKER any time at the Chicago Branches to the struggle against militarism and against the dangers of a new war. Peasants of Europe! Farmers of America! Tillers of the soil in every land! Your farms, the lives of your sons aré at stake! Arise, unite, join with the revolutionary working class! There is no other course for you, no other salvation! The women—sisters, wives and mothers— less noticeably perhaps. than the men—but no less painfully, are weighed down by the monstrous burden of militarism and war. The destruction of the workers’ family, the ruination of the farmers’ home- steads, the four years of war, trans- formed the working woman into a beast of burden for capital. The war has left a terrible imprint on the hearts of mothers, wives and sisters. After all that the working woman has experienced during these years, she must be in the first ranks in the struggle against war and capital. Working Women! Peasant Women! Your place is with us—we summon you, and we expect you. The revolutionary education of the colonial peoples has become a ques- tion~of life and death for the pro- letariat. If the bourgeoisie strive to support and perpetuate the dppres- sion of the proletariat thru colonial oppression, then we, on our side, must bring about a revolt in the col- onies to support the revolt of the pro- letariat. National and race prejudices are the fruit of slavery and the susten- ance of slavery. Chauvinism epen or concealed, is the best prop of mili tarism and the surest means for the preparation of future wars. It is nec- essary to declare a merciless strug- gle against national prejudices and race superiority. Not only direct hostility, and a scorn and derision, but the patronizing condescending at- titude of the white people. toward the the yellow or black races, must be sharply condemned by the workers as a despicable breach of solidarity, as the worst kind of scabbing. We must teach the colonial workers to regard the white workers as their brothers. And to bring this about, the white proletariat must adopt a brotherly at- titude toward the colored population of the colonies. Proletariat of Europe! More attention must be given to the colonial question, greater efforts, must be expended in revolutionary work in the colonies. In the very place where the bourgeoisie are hop- ing to find the most dependable sup- port, we must deal our heaviest blows. Colonial Workers! Slaves of imperialism! Brothers! Arise to the struggle for indepen- dence!” The Communist International is with you! Our immediate and pressing task in the struggle against war is at the sent time the struggle against that eaty of the capitalist tyrants which goes by the harmless name of the “Experts’ Plan.” And here, as every- where, the first blow must be directed against the. Social Democracy. They frighten the workers with the formid- able forces of America, they demand from them submission and obedience. NOTICE TO CHICAGO a?

They predict the ruin of Europe, and first of all of Germany if they should fail to submit to American capital. We, the Communists, say to the work- ers of Europe—your only salvation is in an” unremitting war against the plan of the experts, against its pro- mulgators and-supporters. You must clear the Social Democrats from your road, you must overthrow the bour- geoisie, you must take power into your own hands, you must unite the various sections of the economic structure of Europe, and direct them along the road to Socialism. If Sov- iet Russiahas~ been able to defend herself victoriously for so many years against the -capitalists“of Burope and America,"vertainly. the victory..of the Buropean proletariat is also assured if they, Gmseizing power, unite the European countries into a Soviet Fed- eration, into a workers’ and peasants’ United States of Europe. Thus not only will European culture be rescued from decline and~deeay,-not only will freedom and independence be guar- anteed to the colonial and semi-col- onial peoples, but a mortal blow will be dealt to the “world autocracy of American capital.( The revolutionary movement in America will receive a great: impetus. ) The: European Social- ist Federation” will thus become the cornerstone of the World socialist re- public. Only then will human be- ings be able to think and act like real human beings; only then will world economy be established on a basis of solidarity and reason, and world re- lations be transformed into the fra- ternal exchange of material and spir- itual wealth between the separate peoples and continents. War will be a thing of the past, since there will be no longer any reason for it. The armies and soldiers will disappear. All the efforts of human beings will be directed toward the enrichment of our earth, toward the improvement and adornment of human life. Such is the task of the Communist International—a huge task, but not an impossible.one. The road to its realization was indicated by Marx and Engels. It is the road of fierce struggle in each country against the national bourgeoisie, it is the road of combining the forces of the pro- letariat of all countries for the seiz- ure of power and the establishment the dictatorship of the proletariat, oever tells you there is another road is lying to you. The Communist International serves the interests of the proletariat in that it speaks the truth. Let that trpth resound thru- out the world like the tocsin of the re- volutionary struggle!

L., Sept. 7—The Ku Klux Klan has shown the folks of Long Island that it.can pull off a kid- napping stunt here as well as in the old south. The object of their demon- strations was a druggist, Ernest 8. Louis, who defied a K. K. K. order to get out of town. Twelve days later a dozen men, who said they were klansmen, threw him into a car and carried him to a village, Hicksville, 12 miles away, where they released him, Louis is back in Freport awaiting the Klan’s next move. The Kluxers ac cused him of attempting to attack a little girl in his store. The police de- clared there was nothing in the story and Louis’ wife says she was present at the time the alleged for the attack and no such thing occurred. Louis says the secret order perse- cutes him because he is a Jew.
