France and Czecho-Slovakia have done the most to carry out the de- slowly. For example in France ninety per cent of the workers are unorganized. The German rights also attacked the Red International of Trade Unions on the question of strike strategy, the speaker said, putting up instead the slogan of “force the leaders,” as the pressure could make fighters of reformists. Our task is to replace reformists of the trade unions by proletarian fighters, who will take the lead in strikes and utilize them against the reformists and the bourgeoisie. The German rights want to wait until we have captured the trade union ap- paratus but that would be fatal for us.

The forces of the Red In- celebrate the opening of the election campaign in New Jersey for the candidates of the Workers (Com- munist) Party at a Red Proletarian banauet. Besides good food, the workers present will hear Scott Nearing, Communist candidate for Governor, and Albert Weisbord, Cammunist candidate for U. S. Sen-| ator and leader of the Passaic ttike. ‘The date of the Red banquet co- inciding with the date of the open- ing of the Jast world war, it will be turned into a demonstration against the menace of a new world war and American imperialism. Delegates coming in to Newark from outly- ing points in the state will be pro- vided with free overnight accommo- | dations to bridge the gap between the banquet and the opening of the convention at 10 the next morning. | All workers or organizations, every shop, factory and refinery | throughout the state is entitled to elect delegates to the banquet and the ratification convention. Organ- izations and shops which have ‘not received the conference call are also asked to elect delegates.

(UP)—| “The Federal Radio Commission today | famed J. H. Dellinger, radio expert | “of the bureau of standards as its, engineer. ternational of Trade Unions are growing. Victory over the capital- ists is certain. The following comrades then ad- dressed the congress, Li-kuang, of China, Lenski, of Poland; and Dom- bal, of the Peasant International. Foster, of the United States, de- claréa"that™ the “American bour- geoisie is trying to break the resist- ance of the workers by_propagating reform plafs which are nothing but utopias. These tendencies are dangerous. Calls Analysis Short. The speaker further declared that Bukharin’s analysis of American im- perialism is somewhat short. Foster considered that a detailed analysis of American imperialism is neces- sary in order to determine the cor- rect policy for the American party. “The majority of the Central Com- mittee of “thé party has committed serious opportunist errors,” the speaker went on, “it has overesti- mated the reserve forces of Ameri- can capitalism, underestimated the Present economic depression, under- estimated the war danger and the aggressive policy of the United States: in China, underestimated the radicalization of the masses, neg-| lected to organize the unorganized | and neglected to work amongst the women and the Negroes, speech was pessimistic, that it over- estimated pitalist stabilization, particularly in Great Britain, that it overestimated the strength of the sociai democrats and contradicted Bukharin’s analysis. The right wing danger and those who tolerate it in Germany must be overcome. Lominadse then declared that Evef€underestimates the signifi- cance of Vienna insurrection, British general strike and the etoral victory of the German Communist Party. He declared that the failure of the German Communist Party is in the > not using sufficient organizational neasures against the right wing. Pepper confuses still more the redi- calization of the European working and judges wrongly and pes- tically the prospects for a left swing in the American, proletariat, the speaker stated. The American pets is ripe enough to apply the Bc ties which the ninth plenum de- ermined for Britain and France. The theses declare that the Can- ton insurrection was not. a putsch and the Chinese comrades can an- swet Pepper and others who “warned” them of insurrection, in the words of Lenin, “as long as the | possibility of victory -exists, insur- }cisions but the work is going on|rection must be attempted.” | Loyestone Points Out Errors Lovestone, of the United States, |then declared that the opposition wrongly accuses the majority in charging that the latter makes prop- jaganda for American imperialism | because it recognizes that American |imperialism is still growing. The) minority overestimates the present economic depression which is caused | by rationalization and not by de- cline, The growth of American im- perialism and its contradictions makes favorable ground for the work of the party, # What the opposition fails to see is the conection between the grow- ing strength and the growing ag- gressiveness of American imperial- | ism. .We see the radicalization of the American workers but believe that this radicalization is not yet so | general as the opposition thinks. CAMPS ACTIVE IN MINERS’ RELIEF |Unity and Nitredaiget Have $1 Tax A number of summer camps and resorts are giving active co-opera- tion in the campaign to furnish re- lief for thousands of miners, their wives and children, itis announced by the National Miners Relief Com- | mittee at 799 Broadway. Camp Nitgedaiget and Unity Camp. both co-operative institutions have during the past few weeks in- stituted » voluntary tax of $1 a week on the campers. Half of this tax soes to the National Miners Re- lief Committee and the other half to the Joint Defense.

Dur- WITH WORKERS Proceeds for $100,000 Workers Party Drive RDERS are begining to pour into Communist campaign headquar- ters at 43 E. 125th St. for books of campaign stamps. These stamps printed in three colors with the Soviet emblem and the pictures of Foster and Gitlow, have caught the imagination of workers immediately. In shops and factories, on rail- roads and even by radical seamen on board ships, the stamps are being pasted surreptitiously on walls and pillars, much to the chagrin of the bosses who sometimes contribute to the gayety of the workers by at- tempting to tear them off their sticking places. Many Orders. But the stamps, es is obvious, are printed on gum paper, and it is al- most as hard for an infuriated bosr to remove them as it is for workers to get a raise without the aid of a strong union and a militant strug- gle. Not a piece of literature leaves the National Office of the Workers (Communist) Party without a VOTE COMMUNIST stamp. And the Workers (Communist) Party turns out no mean quantity of litera- ture. S. Essman, the secretary of the Rochester local of the Party, writes in for $20 worth of stamps. A worker in a Passaic textile fac- tory, with the memory of the great strike fresh in his memory, had 2 good look at the proletarian emblem of the first Workers’ Republic and the presidential and vice-presiden-| tial candidates of the Party, and im- mediately got busy among his com- rades to raise the price of ten books. eighty stamps to a book. He sent in ten dollars with the following letter: “Workers Party of America: I am not a Communist yet, but I remember what the Communists did for us when we were in the long struggle against the mill bosses, backed by the Democratic and Re- publican Party politicians. From reading the Daily Worker I learned that Foster and Gitlow were work- ing actively for us as well as the whole party. I never heard that Al Smith or Hoover raised a voice in our behalf. We were clubbed and arrested by Democratic and Repu- blican policemen, convicted by Democratic and Republican judges and jailed by Democratic and Re- publican wardens. The textile work- ers of Passaic would be crazy to keep on supporting these capitalist parties. A great number of them will work and vote for the Com munist Party in this election, and we will stick up\so many stamps here before the campaign is over that the bosses will be cockeyed.” Subway Scenes. | This worker does not want his/ name published as it would mean immediate dismissal. The writer observed a clever stunt |in a subway train a few days ago.

The brake- man also got curious. I never saw) one that was not. While the train was rattling on to the next stop he came over and scratched his head. d at New Jersey State Communist Convention “Arrested M ¢ ieca an OF FEDERATION Working Women Will) Confer Thursday | Scott Nearing will speak on “The | War Danger” at the second dele | gate conference of the New.
