Wednesday, December 10, 1924 RECOUNT GIVES EMIL YOUNGDAHK 69 MORE VOTES Gains in 10 Precincts; Opponent Loses in 11 By C. A. HATHAWAY. (Special to The Daily Wérker) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. * YemWith one-half of the ballots | recounted Comrade Emil S. Youngdahl, candidate for the 35th Minnesota legislative dis- trict, has made a net gain of 59 votes over his opponent E. S. Swenson. With glaring inaccuracies oc- curing in many precincts there is a strong possibility of dis- covering many more. Youngdahl has gained votes in ten precincts and lost votes in seven, while Swenson has gained but four votes. in four precincts and lost votes in eleven precincts. The recount shows great ignorance in voting by a great mass ofthe peo- ple. This is indicated especially in the labor districts. Labor candidates fail to be elected because a great many workers and especially their wives fail to vote or when they do vote, neglect to vote the whole labor ticket. But it is equally true that Many workers are becoming mistrust- ful of many candidates carrying the labor endorsement. The betrayal of the working class by many of its former leaders has created suspicion and lack of confidence. Despite the calumnies of the capitalist press and the fake labor leaders, the rank and file of the workers are turning to the Workers Party for guidance.

TIRRING APPEAL IS ISSUED BY WORLD COMMUNIST ORGANIZATIONS IN FIGHT FOR SENTENCED WORKERS The DAILY WORKER gives in the following manifesto, signed by the Communist International, the Red International of Labor Unions and the Communist Youth International, an appeal which should stir the labor move- ment of America from one end of the country to the other. The victimization of workiigmen by venal capitalist courts has become so institutionalized in America that American workers are in danger of acepting the death sentence against + their fellow workers. Sacco and Van- zetti, that it is imperative for every class conscious worker to take up the ery “Sacco and Vanzetti shall not die!” To the workers of all countries! To all trade union organizations! Comrades! For over three years Sacco and Van- zetti have been pining in the prisons of the American bourgeoisie, The class justice of the American “democracy” was never at a loss when it was a question of excesses and in citements to assassination, in order, by means of lying accusations, to de- liver revolutionary workers into prison. There was hardly any affair in which the whole baseness and mean- ness of American justice showed itself with such naked brutality as in the well-known trial of the two Italian workers Sacco and Vanzetti. Sacco and Vanzetti are class con- scious workers who have fought. with all their energy for tho revolutionizing of the American workers. Sacco and Vanzetti possess a leading influence among the revolutionary working class. What is the “crime” of these two comrades? Sacco and Vanzetti were in posses. sion of exceedingly compromising in- formation on the shameful acts of the secret department of the Ameri- can police service. This band of spies and police agents had, during his ex- amination, tortured the Italian worker Salcedo to death. ‘When the police learned that Sacco and Vanzetti were in a position tc produce proof of this shameful crime they commenced a persistent persecu- tion of these.two revolutionaries. By means of agents, prostitutes and | bullies, they framed up a trial for rob. bery and murder of two cashiers and with the help of perjurious witnesses dragged Sacco and Vanzetti into the trial. Thereupon all bribable elements were set into motion: the judges, the jury, the witness, the press, the “public,” as a result of which the judges conducted the proceedings | OUR DAILY PATTERNS A NEW DOLL SET. 4196.

Sacco and Vanzetti were declared guilty of the robbery and murder which they had never committed, and were condemned to death. This was in May, 1921. But the American bourgeoisie shout- ed their triumph too soon. The dem- onstration of protest of the workers of the United States, supported by the revolutionary and class consciou: workers of all countries, evoked such @ general storm of indigantion that the American government held it wiser to suspend the carrying) out of the sentence, Three years have passed since then. Sacco and Vanzetti, immediate ly after the pronouncement of the sen: tence, appealed to the higher court Th court dragged out this appoal for three years. It was hoped to render submissive the two revolutionaries in the prison of the state of Massachu setts, which are worthy of Nicolas the Bloody. Workers, Comrades! The reaction in America is becom: ing continually more insolent. Black America, the America of the Ku Klux Klan, the America of the blood-suck- ers of Wall Stret, the America of the executioners of Chicago, the America of the torturers of Sacco and Van- zetti, this America is the stronghold of international fascism. The “era of democracy” is to be followed by the “era of fascism.” The appeal of comrades Sacco and Vanzetti was rejected by the court. The death sentence is to be carried out. Sacco and Vanzetti are to be brot to the electric chair. Revolutionary workers! Summon all comrades to the fight against the loodhounds of Wall Street! Against the gang of hangmen of Washington! Down with American class justice! The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti must be prevented. We must wrest these, our revolutionary brothers from the claws of the American bour- geoisie!

LABOR FAKERS ARRIVE IN DISTRICT ONE Only Picormed with Breaking Strike By THOMAS MYERSCOUGH. (Special to The Daily Worker) PITTSTON, Pa., Dec. 9.—Immediate- ly on its arrival in this section yes- terday, the commission of internation- al board members, appointed and sent here by International President John L. Lewis, pfoceeded to the meeting of the Lehigh Valley general griev- ance committee, and with the usual line of bunk prevented action by that body, which would bring another large number of miners on strike. They did not, however, prevent an unlimited amount of criticism from be- ing heaped on those who are really responsible for the appalling situation prevalent at practically every mine in this district. Nor did they prevent a motion to demand a special conven- tion, at which all the conditions pre- vailing in the district will be aired, and the responsibility for same be placed. Special Convention Wanted Today meetings of the Pennsylvania, Hudson and Glen Alden (D. L. & W.) general grievance bodies will meet and the commission expects to visit all of them for the purpose of checking the spread of the strike, It is, however, believed that a special convention will have to be called, as the demand for Same is so great, Neal J. Ferry, chairman of the com- mission, in a straddle statement to the local press, admits that there may be something connected with the grievances hereabouts, to make the strike justifiable, but quickly adds, that- his belief is, that radicals bent upon the formation of a union within the U. M. W. of A. are in some way responsible, as an agent of this group has been known to them as being quite active for several montlis. It seems to be of no concern to any of the officials of the union hereabouts that the operators have repeatedly violated the agreement. All they want to see is the end of what they call an outlaw strike with victory for the operators. Your Union Meeting Second Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1924 Name of Local and Place of Meeting.

Losovsky, secre- tary of the Red International of Labor Unions. The twentieth chap- ter is entitled, “War and Revolu- tion.” Oh. * ROM the very beginning Lenin had a clear conception of,the interna- tional nature of the class struggle. Long before the war he already felt himself a stranger at the internation- al socialist parades where the phrase reigned supreme and where no action was to be seen. As a result of his appearance at international congresses (Stuttgart, Copenhagen) there was formed a small and loosely allied left wing. This “Russian sectarian” was treated condescendingly by the leaders of European reformism. Some of them looked upon Lenin's activities as a sort of sectarian madness, others con- sidered it a result of the mystical traits of his Slavic character. Very few realized the significance of this coming leader of the international working class movement. Only a few radical Germans, Polish social-demo- crats, and several comrades of other countries, stood in close political rela- tions towards Bolshevism. Clara Zet- kin relates the following story: At the congress in Stuttgart, held in i907, Rosa Luxemburg, while pointing out to her the place occupied by Lenin, said: “See that man? Just watch the characteristics of his head. He looks 48 if he were ready to crush the whole world, that he would rather break his head than surrender.” Lenin knew the international work- ing class movement well for many years. But the international labor movement began to know Lenin only after the October revolution. And here wo approach one of the most interest- ing questions connected with the the- ory and practice of the labor move- ment. How many people are familiar with the giant of scientific socialism whose name was Marx? A few hun- dreds of thousands. On the other hand, how many have heard of Lenin? Hundreds of millions. How is this to be explained? Marx forged the weap- on of criticism for the struggle against the capitalist system, while Lenin em- ployed this criticism as a weapon to strike the enemy over the head. The oppressed millions have gotten a very clear conception of the significance of what Lenin was doing, while the materialistic conception of history, the theory of the socialization of produc- tion, could be understood by a limited number of people. But the expropria- tion of land, factories, and banks, the abolition of exploitation, the annul- ment of debts—such propaganda by action appealed to and was understood .| by the widest sections of the working class. One of the French bourgeois pa- pers wrote after Lenin’s death: “His thoughts were grey and theologically monotonous.” For the bourgeois world the ideas of Lenin were really grey. But how did the international working class movement respond to his ideas? Millions of people understood his thoughts because they were simple and within the graps of the masses. ‘They were in harmony with the class instincts of these masses, if not al- ways with their conscious understand- ing. But the true greatness of Len- in’s “grey ideas” could be seen only after these ideas had been transform. ad into “red actions.” When at the end of 1914 Lenin spoke of the necessity of putting up he civil war against the imperialist war, not even the left wing could fol- UNCLE WIGGILY'S TRICKS WAR AND REVOLUTION low the trend of his thoughts, He| therefore, organized at Zimmerwald a left wing which assumed definite form only at Kienthal. But even after the conference at Kienthal one of its par- ticipants, the French delegate Bris- son, spoke of Lenin as of a queer sort of fellow who had been making pub- licly very childish propositions. From the very beginning Lenin had a very clear idea as to what results the imperialist war would bring to hu- manity, and that the capitalist world THOUSANDS MAY DIE IN IRISH FAMINE CRISIS Connemara Farmers Are Living on Seaweed (Special to The ,Gally Worker) DUBLIN, Dec. 9.—The probability that thousands may die of starvation in Ireland as a result of the crop failure and the industrial panic was voiced today by many prominent lead- ers in Irish public life. Much criticism is directed at the Free State govern- ment, which so far has ignored. the cries for help from the panic stricken people in the famine area and in the cities where the industrial proletariat {are in great distress. Peasants in Dire Straits. The peopie on the west coast of Ire land usually live in a state of chronic poverty. The food staple is the po tato, which with fish, bread and tee is the main article of diet. The fail ure of the potato crop leaves the peasants in dire straits. Instead of solving the problem in would under no circumstances be able to avoid civil war. This explains his radical slogans. But the international labor movement had been developing very slowly. It had to have a few more years of war before the masses would come back to their senses. And this had been Lenin's task, to awaken the masses to revolutionary action al- tho he was very little known to the wide proletarian masses. After the February revolution the patriotic henchmen of all countries started a campaign of vilification against Lenin as an agent of the Ger- man general staff. This story found wide ‘cirevlation also among social- demoerati¢ circles. Only after the Oc- tober revolution did the masses come to learn the part played by Lenin at Zimmerwald and Kienthal where he lemanded that the working class be ‘roused against the imperialist war. Inly after he assumed the leadership of the greatest revolution in the his- tory of the world did the masses come o know who Lenin really was. And since then the internatienal labor movement has been divided into two groups as far as Lenin was concern- ed, “enthustastic ~friends and deadly enemies. Every day of the existence of Sov- fet Russia, every attack against Rus- sia by its enemies, have contributed towards the increase of Lenin's popu- larity among the masses, thereby rais- ing the importance of those organiza- tions (the Communist International and the Red International of Labor Unions) whose fate was bound up with that of Soviet Russia. Lenin's death deeply impressed the ‘working masses of the entire world. Most of the leaders of the internation- al revolutionary movement have real- ized that Lenin has been the trail- blazer for the Communist Parties of every country in the world. At pres- ent the theoretical and practical fea- tures of Bolshevism which were cre- ated by Lenin have become factors of world importance. Since Bolshevism has thrown off the chains of czarist rule, it has become the object of uni- versal attention and of the hatred of the imperialist bourgeoisie the world over. Bolshevism at present stands imperialism and reaction as a real power. In the constant development of our movement, {n the constant | growth of the Communist ideas and Communist Parties, in the extended influence of the Communist Interna- tional and the Red International of Labor Unions, in the internationaliza- | tion of our methods of struggle and in the elasticity of our revolutionary | tactics, in the growing international | unity between the various sections of the revolutionary proletariat— in all this we can see the firm hand and the great xenius of Lenin. He stands out in the history of the international la- bor movement as one of its foremost and greatest leaders. i Tomorrow—“The Father of the Communist International.” Personal. ISADORE.
