Page Two SING RED FLAG, RAISE A WHITE AT LIVERPOOL Communist ‘Defeat’ Not Pleasing to Enemies (Continued from page 1) the labor party, MacDonald himself uttered the significant words: “We know that tne vote would only remove the attack upon us from the floor of this conference to the street corners.” While it failed even to stop the attacks in the conference, which was one long battle from start to finish and MacDonald was disappointed in this issue, his remark about the fight being removed to the “street corners” expre: in a distorted fashion the fact th Communists will con tinue their criticism of the ‘crawl ing, sniveling policy” of the lab party among the rank and file of Brit ish labor in the shops .and unions. Moreover, the labor arty is in griev- ous need of funds to run a general election, and it has to go to the trade | unions to get them, A real victory for the Communists, and one the capitalist press has con- cealed completely or hidden in ob- seure places, is the fact that the Communists forced thru a resolution declaring that the famous “Zinoviev letter” which lost the election for MacDonald, has been proven a for- gery. How much the labor party was put upon trial may be seen in the on- slaughts of the Communists, Galla- gher saying on the question of un- employment, that the type of leaders such as J. A. Thomas, Olynes and MacDonald were sacrificing the labor movenient to the middle class. “These leaders are recognized by Beaverbrook, Rothermere, Birken- head, Churchill and the whole gang, as friends of capital. Buckingham Palace is wide open for them. The poorhouse workers.” 4gain, the labor party was exposed to the British workers when it voted down the resolution of the Commun- ists demanding that a minimum wage of $20 a week and a 44-hour work- week be granted British workers, with an immediate increase of $5 a week for all workers. is wide open for the Clynes on Empire J. R. Clynes spoke for the reform- «dst. resolution on the policy toward the empire. Its main idea was a periodical survey of the resources of the empire and their “scientific de- velopment by the home and dominion governments so as to prevent exploit- ation by private capitalists.” After voting down the Communist resolution declaring that the inter- ests of the empire were opposed ang hostile to the interests of the work- ers and that India and all other col- onies and dominions should have the right of self determination to the point of complete independence. Dr. Haden Guest making what the cap- italist press calls & “notable speech” against breaking up the empire, the congress passed—as a matter of re- cord—a resolution advocating self government for India and recommend- ing Egypt to the tender mercies of the league of nations.

C. (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Oct. 2—The resolu- tion accepting and agreeing with the recent Communist International deci- sion and pledging loyal support to the newly elected C. E. C. of the Workers (Communist) Party as pres- ented by Comrade Weinstone to the second convention of Dist. 2, Young Workers League was passed by a vote of 36 for and 7 abstaining, none against. Two resolutions were introduced. One by the minority of the resolu- tions committee and the other by Comrade Weinstone for the majority. The convention decided that in view of the recent decision of the Com- munist International they do not -re- cognize any other resolution but the one of the party representative. The | resolutions were ordered back to the resolutions committee by unanimous vote for the purpose of revision so that there shall be no discord in the attempt to unify the league on the basis of the Communist International decision. Resolution Adopted The final draft of the resolution as presented by the party representative read in part as follows: The parity thesis on the immediate tasks of the party adopted by the fourth national convention lays down the correct line of policy to be aas| lowed by us in the building up a mass Bolskevik party in the U. 8. This convention of the Y. W. L. endorses the resolutions adopted by the party convention particularly on the liquidation of Loreism, Bolshevi- zation, Trade Union Work, Reorgani- zation, Labor Party Policy, Agrarian work, YOuth wotk and Negro work. The action of the national conven- tion in removing Comrade Askelli as the editor of the Finnish paper the Tyomies, and excluding Lore from the party shows that the party has reached the stage where it can no longer tolerate opportunistic ele- ments which consciously aim to per- vert the policies of the C. I. and to break the unity and discipline of the Party. Comrade Shachtman stated that his resolution differed materially from the one introduced by Comrade Wein- stone and insisted that both be voted upon separately. In view of this, Comrade Stachel introduced a reso- lution supplementary to the one by the party representative which fol- lows in full: Endorses C. I. Decision. The C. I. in its latest decision de- clares that “It has . finally become clear that the Ruthenberg group is more loyal to its decisions and views.” The convention..declares that it wholeheartedly accepts this decision and pledges to do everything in its Power to support the party leader- ship endorsed by the C. I. Spirit as Well as Letter, The convention declares that the decision must be accepted in spirit as well as in letter. The introduction of a separate resolution is a concealed form of opposition to the decision and a declaration of dissatisfaction with the action of the C. I., and is con- strued as an attempt to maintain their group on the basis of an appeal. Against Obstruction. This we declare is obstriction to Come to the Dail y ; Wor ker Surprizes!

In view of the fact that the discus- sion on the report of the party repre- sentative had taken most of the con- vention’s time it was unanimously agreed to refer all other business to the incoming District Executive Com- mittee, Elect Delegates. Delegates were elected to the na- tional convention, the entire delega- tion being supporters of the two reso- lutions as reprinted above. One of the delegates from Hartford who was elected from his branch because of having supported the former major- ity said that he “is convinced that opposition to the present Central Executive Committee in the form of refusing to support the party reso- lution would be opposition to the Communist International.” He there- fore voted for it. Two other dele- gates, supporters. of the former ma- jority, took the same view. The con- vention decided that to show its de- sire for unity on the basis of the Communist International decision it would elect one of these comrades as delegate to the national conven- tion despite this former position which they had maintained up to the time of voting. The Harfort dole- gate was chosen. A resolution was introduced asking the coming national convention to move the office of the league to New York City. This was greeted with @ great demonstration and was ad- opted by acclamation, only one dele- gate voting against it. New D. E. C. Elected. The convention also elected a new District Executive Committee giving representation to the former opposi- tion on the basis of the vote they re- ceived. ‘With all singing the International and amidst great enthusiasm, the convention adjourned.

Bar Married Women from Union Membership BUTTE, Mont—(FP)—The Silver Bow (Butte) Trades and Labor Council recommends to all local unions the they follow the example of the Butte Clerks’ Union and bar married wo- men from membership. .. The recommendation is an answer to the practise of. many, Butte firms of giving job preference to married women, making it harder for girls and single women to get employment. In some cases man atid wife are given jobs by the same house. The council takes the position that when there are not enough-decent jobs to go round the girls that have no pro- vider should get the first chance.

By de dt the Chicago Tribune carries the headline, “Russia Fails to Get Berlin to Quit Allies.” voices a hope rather than states a fact. But the headline The hope is that Germany can be inveigled into a “security pact” with the allies of the Versailles peace, an agreement that can be used as a weapon against the Union of Soviet Republics. But the fact is that the Tribune headline is still warm when the news comes that the German cabinet at Berlin has decided to sign a Soyiet-German trade treaty, and that it will refrain from an unconditional entry into the league of nations, which the Soviet Union has notified the Hindenburg-Luther govern- ment will be a violation of the spirit of the Rapollo treaty, which recognized the Soviet ambassador to Berlin. * * Union and brought a Soviet In fact the negotiations that have been going on in Ber- lin, these past few days, between the Germans and George Tchitcherin, the Soviet commissar of foreign affairs, seem to have knocked the supports from under the kind of a “security pact” that London and Paris were angling for. Germany, thru sheer necessity, because she is economically dependent on the Soviet Union, seems more determined than ever to stick by her resolve to enter the league only on con- dition that she be relieved of the obligation imposed by Ar- ticle 16 of the covenant to permit the passage of league mili- tary expeditions thru her territory. , The Soviet Union knows, and even the German govern- ment of President Hindenburg and Chancellor Luther knows, that there is only one reason that spurs the desire of London and Paris to cross Germany with all their accoutrements of imperialist war; the desire to wage another attack against the workers’ and peasants’ government, in an attempt to overthrow it. * * The Germans made their first bold stroke in connection with the approaching security pact conference at Locarno, Switzerland, when they demanded that the: be absolved from responsibility for the world war. The allies placed the war guilt on Berlin and they are determined that it shall stay there, otherwise it might get abroad among the workers, quicker than it is being spread at the present time, that all the capitalist nations wete equally guilty. The allies of the world war are very much chagrined that Germany should raise this ticklish question of “war guilt” at this time, but it is one of the few diplomatic weap- ons left to the Reich. * * All in all, the London and Paris statesmen and their ress are inclined to charge that it is Soviet diplomacy that, wh worsted them, and that Moscow is throwing a hand grenade of rather large and powerful proportions into the “safety pact” conference, But the success of Soviet strategy in dealing with world imperialist nations should not permit a single worker, especially in the United States, td slumber. On another page there is. published today the. call for the celebration of the eigth anniversary of the establishment of the workers’ and peasants’ government. This manifesto sounds the tocsin for new resistance and other greater offensive struggles against world imperialism. The class war rages on a host of fronts over the world. American workers must throw themselves into action in- of these fronts. The security senigentiy on the side of the labor's struggle on every one pact and the Dawes-Morgan plan have established two threatening sectors that call for more vigorous attack than ever. Judge Wants Stenographic Spies NEW YORK CITY—(FP)—Steno- graphers to pursue radical street meetings and report proceedings to federal authorities are wanted by Judge Louras of New York. The judge told Emil Gardos and James Lustig, Hungarian Communists, that they would undoubtedly have been deport- ed if a stenographer had reported their speeches against Sec, Kellogg's ban on Saklatvala. When Attorney Carol Weis King proved to the judge that it is no of- fense to speak on the streets in a foreign language, Judge Louras at- tempted to make the two young men plead guilty to a charge of interfer- ing with an officer. Patrolman Corn- elius Connell told how milk bottles and other missilles had been directed toward him when he broke up the meeting. The case was dismissed.
