NEW YORK.—Roger Baldwin will speak at the Workers’ Schoo] in the symposium course in American Labor Problems, this Friday night, Dec. 10, at 8 p. m. on the subject: “Civil | (Continued from Page 1.) of the working day in a practical man- |ner, take the initiative in uniting all |workers in one trust and put forth |new demands for state care of the un- employed. Unemployment. Dwelling on new developments in the labor movement, the speaker point- ed out the abnormal growth of unem- ; ployment in Germany and England, the growing rapprochement between the social-iemocratic leaders and the cap- italists in all countries, the growing will of the workers towards a united front and the appearance of new sec- tions in the world labor movement such as in China, Japan, Indonesia and other countries destined to play an Impormne roie m international events. Among the working masses, Losov- Losovsky Speaks at Comintern Plenum {considered of paramount importance the task of the British party to enlist new membérs. The situation in this |respect is favorable because while the reformist leaders are drawing closer to the capitalists, the working class jis leaning towards the Communist Party. The speaker further emphasized the political character of the general strike which was a struggle for power. Today, ‘like after the defeat of Chartism, the bourgeoisie is again attacking the labor movement, Gal- |lacher concluded, Devisser (Holland) stated that the | Dutch Communist Party had made big | efforts to prevent the export of coal to | Britain but the campaign failed owing to the strikebreaking tactics of the right wing leaders of the unions, The groupings with a leftward tendency | made by Smeral (Czecho-Slovakia) in and new political differentiations. The |regard to the party’s position on the Communists must support all left ele- | Indonesian uprising. He declared that ments in the trade union movement, | the party corrected its initial mistakes altho criticizing and fighting their theoretical mistakes. Continue United Front. United front tactics, in spite of the weak points that develop ‘in their operation, must continue to be prac- tically adapted te new conditions. Communist work in the trade unions must be more intense and more prac- tical. Communists must consolidate minority organizations in the trade unions bringing these new elements more under Communist influence and causing them to come closer to the newer sections of the international movement such as the Chinese trade ugions. The Communist parties must, in a practical way, prepare for the im- pending economic fights. Resuming the debate on Murphy’s (Britain) report on the British miners’ strike, Remmele (Germany) stated that one of the reasons why the con- tinental proletariat failed to~ render more adequate assistance to the fight was because tha Communist work in the trade unions was itself inadequate, and the connections between the trade union centrals of the various coun- tries were insufficiently established. The British Communist Party, Rem- mele said, worked splendidly; the most important. task now before them is the creation of a mass party. Gallacher (England) said he also |and pursued tacti¢s in full accord with |the Comintern’s. Murphy Sums Up. Murphy (England), summing up the debate on the British strike remarked that most speakers agreed on the main points he brought out in the begin- ning and stressed the immense im- portance of winning Communist in- fluence in the trade unions, In con- clusion he pointed out that the revo- lutionary situatiog was favorable in England owing to the decline of in- dustry, the inability of the bourgeoisie longer to bribe the labor aristocracy and because no peasantry exists. The |plenum unanimously adopted Murphy’s report amid loud applause. A protest against the British treat- ment of fourteen members of the Kuomintang Party in Tientsin when they,were arrested and turned over to the militarists illegally by the British legation there, was passed by the plenum. Fischer On Way. Chairman Remmele announced that Ruth Fischer, Maslov and others who had been expelled from the German Communist Party wired informing the plenum they will arrive shortly in Moscow, Masloy excepted, to person- jally defend their appeal against their | expulsion from the German Party. enthusiastically received in Chicago accommodate all who came to see the picture. that evening and both times the house was packed.
