| FACTORY PAPER AND DAILY GET BOSS EXCITED He Actually Offers Vaca- * tions Now (By Worker Correspondent.) ASTORIA, L. I, July 13— I have some important news to tell in my third story, since the circulation of the factory paper and the DAILY WORKER, in our shop. On July 8, when our shop paper was Passed around, two workers got dis: charged. But this will not discour+ agé anybody, because there are so many progressive workers that unless the bogs closes up the whole factory he cannot stop: them. On the same day that two were fired, the rest of the workers who have been three years in service, were Promised a week's vacation with pay. How gracious our boss begitis to be, when he thinks the workers are watching him and are organizin, Never before has any vacation eve! been thought about. } Most of the workers in the shop are with the progressives in the fight for better conditions, which proves’ that the so-called “loyal” ones have Jost their grip on the employes. But the little shrimp who works on pulleys is becoming the real champion of all the “suckers.” Yet he may not be a champion of some fist fights he may run into sometime in the near future. The superintendent, the foreman, the bookkeeper, all held by the 6 guy—a sort of “three in one” ma has also proven himself to be an “A-1” slave peddler. Some day he will sure- ly be full of rheumatism, and will not be able to see himself. Some few workers in the shop are due to be exposed in. the DAILY WORKER.

Is it to impose upon this country the principles of centralization as against the principle of federalism, under the banner of which an opium-soaked war- lord with a harem of concubines is marching or rather: fleeing from the woe-begone province of Yunnan. to other soldiery-ridden provinces? Is it that a Eurasian mongrel, an adven- turer for hire, a curio dealer, an ex- pelled member of the Kuomintang has hurriedly come down to the neigh- boring colony to “aid” a few militar- ists against the Kwangtung govern- ment by putting into their shivering hands the scarecrow of Communism and trotting them out as the champ- fons of liberty and prosperity of the province of Kwangtung? Is it that the Kwangtung government is. going to re- place the almost non-existent capital- ist system in this province by Com- munism? These are not the issues upon which the present conflict is goitig td be settled. There is but one fesue, one clear cut issue. It lies in the con- tradiction which for years has marked _|the principles of Kuomintang and the means for their realization. The ‘| principles are good, the means weré bad. It is the contradiction between ‘| good and evil. Principles of the Kuo Min Tang. What are the principles?

What have been the means at the disposal of the Kuomintang govern- ment for the realization of these prin- ciples? An unruly, tyrannical, selfish, unpatriotic soldiery. When legislat- 3} ive, judicial and executive authority are usurped by armed bandits in uni- form there is no hope for the princi- ples of Kuomintang, no hope for the| ive province and for the country. For years the soldiery was robbing: and terrorizing the people, undermin- ing the prestige of the government, at the head of which stood the great leader, longnig to do something in accordance with his principles. generals listened or pretended to lis- ten to their patriotism, their past rev- olutionary records, and even to that feeling of compassion which Sun Yat Sen believed no man to be devoid of, but all to no avail. They did what they pleased.. The many conferences held with the generals thruout these years were futile. The finances re- mained ununified; unjust taxation con- tinued to be exacted from the people, gambling was rampant, prostitution was encouraged for revenue. The generals’. deposists- in the foreign banks in the safe havens of retreat were swelling, while the common people in the province were getting poorer and poorer, swelling the ranks of banditry, The Beast of Militarism.

This, of course, would be highly welcome to the imperialists, forthe triumph of Dr, Sun’s principles means the anni- hilation of unequal treati while the triumph of the militarists means the Perpetuation of the semicolonial posi- tion of China. And so the militarists have to be destroyed that the princt- ples might triumph. But how was this to be done? Admonitions and appeals to reason failed. The hearts of the militarists were hardened by plunder, by gambling and prostitution reve- nues, their human feelings dulled by idleness and opium, There was noth- ing left but to appeal to the people to free themselvcs from the tyranny of the soldiery, to help the govern- The}: jot _lutiop ment to carry out the necessary re- forms,—reforms that would bring peace and prosperity to the province. This appeal was made by Dr. Sun to the people of Kwangtung. Did the People respond? .Some did and some remained deaf to the appeal. The Peasants, the workers, the students, the patriotically-minded citizens re- sponded nobly to the appeal. But a portion of the merchants believing themselves to be secure from the sol- diery in their narrow lanes were soon to find out to their own ultimate peril that the arming of other hoodlums to fight the government only added to the general calamity. The thing to have done was not to have listened to the selfish counsel of the Chan Lim- pak crowd, to arm hooligans against the people and the government, but to unite with the government for the eventual expulsion of a tyrannical sol- diery. Fortunately, the merchants have since come to realize that salva- tion lies in the victory of the Kuo- mintang, and today they stand sol- idly behind the government in its dif- ficult task of making this province safe for the people. The merchants are beginning to understand the game of the hirelings of imperialism who use every Tom, Dick and Harry to Prove that the Kuomintang is Com- munistic when it is not, The mer- chants are investigating for. them- selves and it is their own conclusion that counts, We Have Come to a Parting of . The Ways. The present conflict is one in which the people and the government are on the one side, the tyrannical sol- diery, supported by expelled members of the Kuomintang who fail to ren- der accounts of public and party fun reactionary and predatory in- tei s of imperilaism, on the other side. The issue in this conflict is to get.rid once and for all of the contra- dictions between. the principles of our Party and the means for their realiza- tion. Henceforth the Kuomintang and a marauding soldiery must part their ways. Henceforth, the Kuo- Min Tang and the people of this province will travel on the same road to, peace, democracy and economic prosperity. If needs be, this issue will be fought to a finish.

Ritzer, a member of Local 2, had been taken off his job with the Goth- am Cloak company, by order of the business agent, and he and his com- rades were urging the workers jn the shop to demand that he be allowed to return to his’ job. The gangsters see- ing that they outnumbered the work- ers, boldly ofdered them away from in front of the building, and when they resisted, the strong arm squad began to work. Ritzer ran to the opposite side of the street without knowing thit another group was wait- ing there and immediately ten thugs fell on him, knocked him down and beat and kicked him until he was senseless. * Vietim in, Hospital Held Illegally. An ambulance which was summon- ed, refused to take the man to the hospital and finally comrades took him in a taxi to St. Mark’s hospital, where he is now lying in a serious condition, The hospital authorities have so far refused to let anyone, even a physician see Ritzer, stating that by order of the police, he is to be held incommunicado altho he is not under arrest. Later, about 1 o'clock in the after- noon, the gangsters tried some more of their terrorist work along a new line. A private automobile drew up to the curb on West 21st street, just east of, the headquarters of Local 22, at No. 46 West 21st street. Four gang: ters stepped out and immediately started a crap game on the sidewalk near the building. A.New Sort of Crap Game. In @ few. gninutes they pretended to be quarreling; two of them sprang up and after;the others had thrown sand into the faces of the workers gathered near by, four men attacked Harry Offberg, of Local 2.
