Friday, January 9, 1925 THE DAILY WORKER EMPLOYMENT OFF| 10 PER CENT FROM FIGURE OF 1923 Vehicles, with Iron and Steel, Lead By LELAND OLDS, (Federated Press Industrial Editor) No improvement in the unemploy- ment situation is shown in the em- ployment report of the U. S. depart: ment of labor for November, 1924. The figures drawn from 6,773 establish. ments employing over 2,000,000 work- ers show that thruout the month the level of employment remained more than 10 per cent below that of Novem- ber, 1923. The report shows a decrease in the total amount paid out in wages due in part to wage reductions and in part to reduced operations. Total wages were 13.2 per cent short of those dis- bursed in November, 1923, while per capital earnings were down 3.5 per cent. * The general level of employment shown in the department’s index is about 19 per cent lower that the aver- age for 1919. In other words about 1,700,000 of the 9,096,000 shown in the census of manufacturers in that year were off the payrolls in November, 1924. Decreases in employment of more than 10 per cent compared with a year ago were reported in 20 industries while 28 industries showed total wage payments lower by more than one- tenth. The situation is shown by industrial groups as follows, the figures repres- enting decreases as compared with Noy. 1923: Employment Payroll Pet.

In the food group slaughtering and meat packing showed a reduction of 10.6 per cent in both employment and wages while confectionary showed a drop of 16.1 in employment and 14.4 per cent in wages. In the textile group cotton goods showed a reduction of 14.8 in employment and 19.1 in wages, hosiery and knit goods a drop of 11.1 per cent in employment and 11.8 per cent in wages and men’s clothing a drop of 11.9 per cent in employment ahd 17.3 in wages. 3 The heaviest falling off in the iron and steel group occurred in foundries and machine shops which show 21.3 fewer employes and 25.6 smaller wage disbursements than in Nov. 1923. In the iron and steel industry proper employment is down 11.2 per cent and wages 14.3 per cent. Under vehicles the automobile in- dustry shows a reduction of 16.1 per cent in the number employed and 24.7 in wage payments, while railroad car building and repairing reports a de- crease of 15.7 in employment and 17,1 per cent in wages. In the miscellan- eous industry gruop are agricultural implements with a drop of 10 per cent in employment and 12.7 in wages, elec- trical apparatus with a drop of 13.2 per cent in employment and 16.7 per cent in wages, and shipbuilding with decreases of 26.4 per cent in employ- ment and 27.9 per cent in wages. The report also shows that in No- vember these industries taken as a whole operated with 81 per cent of their mormal full force of employes and these employes worked 91 per cent of full time. In other words in- dustry was working at somewhat un- der 74 per cent of full-time capacity. WORKERS! SUPPORT “YOUR GLASS MOVIES!

EDITOR 1S HELD FOR DEPORTATION New Offensive Is Waged Against Workers NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—The capital- ist government is tireless in its at- tacks on the workers ofthe country. It has its eye especially on the mili- tants of the working class, knowing that these fighters are not afraid to defend the interests of the working class. The latest attack is the arrest of Emmanuel Vajtauer, editor of the Obrana, the Czechoslovakian revolut- ionary labor paper. Comrade Vajtauer is an old revolutionist, with a record in the movement in Czechoslovakia. Comrade Vajtauer was a responsible worker in the Czechoslovakian Com- munist Party and came to this country in December, 1923, Here he entered the labor movement and has done splendid work in furthering the inter- est of the workers, especially of the Czechoslovakian workers in this country. As editor of the Obrana, he has not feared to incur the hatred of the capitalist class. His pen has been keen—and the capitalist government fears him. Fighter For Workers Vajtauer is also a splendid speaker and often appeared at labor meetings. The government determined to uproot the revolutionary movement in this country, had its SPY at this meeting, who made notes of Comrade Vajtauer’s speech. This speech was the story of the Russian revolution. Comrade Vajtauer showed why the Russian workers and peasants were driven to put an end to the tsaristic regime. He showed that the methods that the capitalists use in one country are used in all other capitalist countries. He told his audience of conditions in this country—and that was his crime. Comrade Vajtauer is a. foreign-born worker and therefore is supposed to keep his mouth shut about conditions in the United States. Hence the capitalist government came down on Comrade Vajtauer, and he is now held for deportation at Ellis Island. A writ has been obtained, and 't is hoped that the government will be defeated in its attempt to deport this militant worker. Labor Defense Council Active The Labor Defense Council, New York~ Division, 208 East’ 12th St.; is conducting the defense of Vajtauer’s case. If it is to be properly defended, money will be required. The cases of revolutionary workers before the ca- pitalist courts are multiplying, and the demands on the Labor Defense Council are growing. i Every class-conscious worker and every labor organization must help in this defense. You must do your part AT ONCE. Delay may pe costly. Comrade Vajtauer must be saved for further work in the United States.

Now that Omaha Workers Party local has been in its own headquar- ters for nearly a year, the Kansas City comrades, not to be outdone by any other town on the Missouri river, have rolled up their sleeves, gone to work and opened one of their own! Comrade J. E. Snyder, district or- ganizer, deserves the largest share of credft for this sudden burst of Bol- shevik activity along the “Big Muddy.” The Kansas City comrades have al- ways been a live bunch, but they allowed the Omaha reds to steal a march on them. The fight is now on to a finish, with no time out and no quarter given.

This action was taken at a meeting attend- ed by delegates from a dozen organ- izations, immediately after George Maurer, secretary of the Labor De- fense Council, had reported on the success of the bazaar. Wm. F. Kruse, of the International Workers’ Aid, outlined the steps necessary to make the show a success. Each working class organization is to distribute as many as possible of the fifty-cent admission tickets, and is to report to the next meeting the number of headquarters and other places where the large 28x42 colored lithographs can be displayed, as well as the addresses of stores and other places where ticket selling stations can be established. A souvenir pro- gram is to be printed and all branch- es are to endeavor to list all busi- ness houses that might advertize in it. The picture program will consist of “The Beauty and the Bolshevik” and “Russia in Overalls,” a two-hour show that will be run thru twice at Ash- land Auditorium, Ashland and Van Buren streets, Thursday night, Feb. 5, thus making a continuous show from seven to eleven. The next meeting of the committee in charge will be held at Greek Hall, 722 Blue Island Ave., ‘Saturday after- noon, Jan. 10, at 3:30 sharp. All or- ganizations represented on the Labor Defense Bazaar Committee should see that their delegates attend, all “Red Aid” agents elected by Workers Party branches are to be present, and any organizations who have neither of these delegates should elect repre- UNIT CoD ob AY sentatives at once, and make sure they attend. Ss ied Ce. THE STORY OF KARL LIEBKNECHT ee Our young comrades always like to hear the stories of the great men and women who have fought for the same cause to which we all are pledged—the cause of bring- ing freedom to the working class of all the world. And there is no story more inspiring for the work- ers than the story of the great leader who lived and fought for the workers in Germany—Karl Liebknecht. It is very natural that Karl Liebknecht should have, from the very beginning, been interested in the terrible conditions in which the workers are forced to live. In the very year that little Karl was born (1871), his father—William Liebknecht, who also was a loved leader of the workers—was lying in prison where the capitalists of Germany had thrown him, because he had tried to show the workers their road to freedom. As soon as Karl was able to understand, he pledged himself to continue the work of his. father, and help the workers to get control of the gov- ernment. I wonder how many Juniors know just what the word “Lieb- knecht” means, even if it were not the name of the great German worker, It means in German “love of slaves.” And you will see that Karl Liebknecht was rightly named, for all thru his life he showed that he loved the slaves— we call them workers who are “exploited” the bosses—and that finally he even gave his life for them. Karl Liebknecht attended school in Leipzig, one of ‘the large Ger- man cities. When he was in school, he did just what the Juniors are doing now. He organ- ized little clubs of his school and classmates. They met outside of school and studied together about the working class and about how the workers could be taught the truth about their terrible condi- tions. He took part in debates in his classes and he always shogse the side that would help him show to the other pupils the conditions of the workers, the horrors and uselessness of capitalist wars, and the fact that the freedom of the workers would be obtained only if the YOUNG got behind the movement. In all these ways Karl Lieb- knecht prepared himself for tak- ing part in the struggle when he actually got out of school and in amongst the workers themselves. And he had not long been in the active struggle when the capital- ists swooped down on him and tried to put him away where they English Branch of Rochester, Minn., Is With the Majority ROCHESTER, Minn.—At the regu. lar meeting of the English Branch, Rochester, Minn., after a thoro discus: | sion of the Central Executive Commit- tee theses and the afticles appearing in the DAILY WORKER pertaining to the same, we find that: { Whereas, a mjority and a minority section of our central executive com- mittee has perhaps unavoidably been formed, thereby unfortunately creat- ing more or less of a muddle of opin. ions among comrades in general, and Whereas, said printed discussions has a tendency in leading the mem- bership in general to conclude that the central executive committee has failed to intelligently interpret instructions from the Communist International, if not willfully functionoing contrarily but Whereas, we are convinced that the position of the majority is correct in- asmuch as they point out that the party must be built by establishing contact with the rank and file of the workers themselves, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that we of the Roch- ester English Branch unanimously ap- prove of the majority thesis, believing that at this time the same to be the proper Communist policy to pursue. (Signed) Nels M. Nelson, Sec’y. Joliet, Ml., English Branch Unanimous for the Majority JOLIET, Ill, Jan. 8—The Joliet English branch of the workers Party, after discussion of the immediate tasks of the party as set forth in the theses of the majority and minority of the central executive committee, unanimously voted to support the majority. Greek Branch, Toledo, Ohio, Unanimous for the Minority Thesis TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 7.— After a long discussion of both the thesis of the minority and majority of the C. E. C., our branch unanimously adopt- ed the minority thesis, which sets forth the effective means for permeat- ing the politically backward masses of this country .with Communist prop- aganda and for the building of the Workers (Communist) Party.—T. Dedakis, Secretary. Cleveland Lettish Branch Unanimous ! For Minority Thesis CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 6— The Lettish branch of the Workers Party of Cleveland unanimously indorsed the thesis of the minority at their meeting on Dec. 29, as constructive and the best means of building a mass Communist movement, and condemn- ed the defeatist and sectarian attitude of the majority thesis.—(Signed) Yuria, Secretary, West Brownsville, Pa., Also Unanimous for The Minority Position thought. he would be unable to influence the masses. In 1906, Karl Liebknecht gave a series of lectures to a large group of young workers organized together like the Young Workers League is now, and his subject was “Anti- Militarism.” That meant that he was not in favor of militarism by the capitalists who used the armies made up of workers to get con- trol for the capitalists, but that he was in favor of the workers hav- ing armies that would fight for themselves (as the Red Army of Russia does today). When Karl Liebknecht had these lectures put together and printed in a book, the government of Germany arrested him and he was put into prison for a year and a half, and all his books and lectures were ordered destroyed. The German government was afraid to have the workers read the book or listen to the lectures. The capitalists hoped that when Liebknecht went to prison some of the workers would forget about him and his ideas—and that the rest would be frightened and not dare to give their own ideas for fear of getting into jail, too. But being in prison did not stop Lieb- knecht. The workers loved him even more when they saw that he was suffering because of his love for them. Even while he was in prison the workers of Berlin elected him to represent them in the Prussian congress. As soon as Liebknecht was out of prison, he again started his fight for the workers, this time in the “land- tag,” the name for the Prussian congress, He talked especially about the capitalist control of the schools to which the workers’ children went. thru his speeches in the the work- ers on the outside much.

A working class newspaper was principles of Communism every day in the year. and have raised a sum of over six-+- teen hundred dollars. After the DAILY WORKER appear- ed, we constantly pointed out at the Workers Party meetings, the in- fluence of our DAILY WORKER in spreading the principles of Commun- ism, The result is hundreds of read- ers. During the year that the DAILY WORKER has been in existence, we have nearly doubled our membership. Our entertainments were always suc- cessful as well as our mass meetings. Without a Communist daily press we should not have been able to make such rapid progress. On the 13th of January, 1925, we shall take inventory of what we have done for the DAILY WORKER, and outline plans of what we shall do af- ter the first anniversary. ,On the 13th of January, at Brook- lyn Hall, corner Soto and Brooklyn Sts., Los Angeles will celebrate the first birthday party of America’s only revolutionary class paper in the Eng- lish language.
