PARIS, June 20—Following the convention of the Paris district, the national convention of French Com- munist Party has opened here in the midst of great enthusiasm. Reporting on the situation confront- ing the Party, Semard, leading French Communist, pointed out that there is no catastrophic crisis now impending, but indicated the increased difficulties abroad. Fight “Rationalization.” The speaker declared that stabili- vation of the franc affords a fresh basis for cffensive in the form of rationalization causing an aggrava- tion of the class struggle. He pointed to the numerous strikes in the past few months. “The Communist Party must draw the correct conclusions for a united front for the purpose of influencing the social democrats,” Semard urged “There must be fewer negotiations among the heads and more work among the rank and file of the social democrats.” he asserted. Be further urged the necessity of consolidating the work of the Party and its organization in the industrial centers. “We must collaborate to se- eure the Communist Party a leading role in the trade union movement,” Semard declared. Maintaining an opposition to the ‘lection tactics of the French Com- munist Party, Renaud Jean asserted that the shop nuclei are functioning poorly. He urged the formation of street nuclei and proposed a spread of theoretical propaganda. i Strengthen Nuclei. Speakers from all the | districts overwhelmingly disagreed with Re- naud Jean. .They proposed the strengthening of the factory nuclei a combatting of the overestimation of the importance of parliamentary success and a misunderstanding of tactics. The conference has showed itself to be unanimous as regards the strength- ening of the Party. SEEK TO REGISTER THE FOREIGN-BORN New Trick Is Devised to Put Over Law WASHINGTON, June 20. — Alien registration, which organized labor looks upon ag the first step toward espionage and persecution of labor agitators who happen to have been born abroad, is now being sought un- der a new pretext by Secretary of Labor Davis. The bureau of immigra- tion in his department announces that | beginning July 1, it will issue “iden- tification cards” to all new immi- grants, Hitherto, only Chinese have been presented with these cards upon entering this country, except that they liave réeently been issued to aliens who daily cross the Mexican or Canadian border, Each year since Davis became sec- retary of labor he has urged that con- gress enact an alien registration law, requiring evéry alien now in the Unit- ed States to reg ister before a federal official, and to report at least once a year. Organized labor, defeated this scheme in committee in the senate and house, pointing out that it would enable anti-labor employers to trace the records of. their workers and to persecute them if they sought to im- prove wages or other conditions in industry.

LEWIS URGING | Tries to Collect Aid Tho | He Gives None (By a Worker Cfrrespondent) writing these few lines for DAILY WORKER to show all miners organize the miners for'a “victory.” Today two ladies came from New Kensington to solicit money for the sti‘king miners. They had creden- tia, from the Kinlock local union. We asked one of them whether she represented the Save-the-Union Com- mittee or the Lewis-gang. They an- swered they were from the United Mine Workers, from Lewis’ side, Then iI asked whether they give money and jfood to all the strikers. They said Lewis takes eare of it all. So I asked j i lief from going to locals like Harwick and Renton and other places in Dis- tricts 56 and 6 in Ohio.where miners are on strike for a union. I said that Lewis and-his gang were sending “re- lief” only to his supporters in the jvarious locals of the districts, He ' stopped relief for strikers even before April 1. ‘tries to starve us into becoming scabs.

Then we wouldn’t have ‘such fights and betraying policies but fone national contract and a. good | strong Union. I asked them to“elp us. But they replied, “Go back to work!
