Furthermore and more significant, is the absolute decline in the chief proletarian sections: There is a fully 33 per cent decline in Bronx County. In the 6th Assembly district, Manhattan, the socialist vote, as de- tailed reports not here indicated show, declined from 2,070 to 877; in the Sth Assembly district, the decline is from 1,293 to 893; in the 17th Assem- bly district, from 889 to 494; and in the 18th district, from 766 to 441. In the County of Kings (Brooklyn), the decline in the 6th Assembly | district is from 1,608 to 985; in the 14th district from 1,488 to 689; and in the 23rd district, from 1,847 to 1,219. That these declines of the socialist vote are no accident is evidenced from the fact ithat the returns from the 1928 election as compared with |as a point of departure for the dis- those of a year ago show theysame marked decline, in most instances in | cussion of the problems of the work- the same working class election districts which recorded declines as compared with 1926.

RICHMAN | BNGuGE ot the special election | campaign editions of our shop) bulletins have already been received | to make “possible an estimate of | their activities in the campaign. Of the 15 bulletins received, four are from the Pittsburgh district, three from the New York district, two each from Detroit and Kansas City, and one each from four other dis- tricts. Most of these issues devote a large portion of their space to the campaign, setting forth what the Workers (Communist) Party stands for in the elections—its program, its activities, and how these effect the workers in the factories. The results of this Communist election agitation in the, factories are incalculable, for we must re- member that our factory papers reach tens of thousands of workers, most of whom_are not yet reached by our Party press, meetings or lit- erature. We thus reach a picked group in a large factory, usually in a basic industry, with a message that is intimately connected up with their direct interests and problems. | Means of Contact. The special function of the shop paper is to make a point of contact on this basis and gradually to ere- ate an interest on the part of these ‘workers for the wider political prob- lems of the .working class, which the Daily Worker and other Party papers can satisfy. By using the election campaign, in ¢his instance, | \ers in a particular factory, the shop Let us look at some of these shop papers and see just how they have | treated the Party’s election cam- paign. The .“Westinghouse Work- ers Bulletin,” published by the Com- munist nucleus in its great Pitts- burgh plant, is a good example of how the election campaign is tied up with the workers of the factory. The chief article is entitled, “Whom Shall the Westinghouse Workers Vote For?” and sets out to answer the question which the opening sen- tence of the article asks: “Of what special interest is this election cam- paign to the Westinghouse work- ers?” It shows that W. L. Mellon, brother of the U. S. secretary of the treasury, is one of the directors of the Westinghouse Company, whose stock is controlled by this family. This Mellon is also chairman of the Pennsylvania republican machine, and in charge of raising money for the Hoover campaign in that state. The article goes on to discuss the slave-driving methods used in the Mellon plants, and shows very well the direct relation between exploita- tion and rationalization and the po- litical interests of big business.

Another article is headed, | “Communists Support State Labor Party Ticket,” and begins: “The 1914 and 1916 Westinghouse strikes have taught us that some-| thing more than a union is neces- sary to fight the company.” It| takes up the use of the state militia by the company, and the need for | a mass labor party to fight this state strikebreaking. Exactly one- half of this small four-page bulletin | is taken up with election material, ) and one the whole it is one of the| best examples of how a. Communist | shop paper can directly serve the | main campaigns of the Party. Most of the other papers, which | we cannot describe or analyze in great detail for lack of space, are similar. The “Crucible Worker,” is- sued by the Communist nucleus in the La Belle steel plant (Pittsburgh district), devotes its entire first page to an article on the elections, headed “Leader. of Steel Strike Presidential Candidate of the Work- ers (Communist) P@rty,” and has other articles and announcements of the campaign on the inside pages. The main article is not as well tied up with the interests of the work- ers in that factory as itt the case | of the Westinghouse Bulletin. It is | too general. But it stresses the) danger of war (Nicaragua, U. S. S. R., ete.) and ties this up with an appeal to the crucible workers to/| vote Communist. The “American Bridge Worker,” | also published in the Pittsburgh dis- | trict, which devotes almost the en- tire first two pages of a four-page mimeographed paper to the cam- paign, connects it up well with the | local interests of the steel. workers. | The “Tin Plate Worker” (same dis- trict), published in the McKeesport | Tin Plate Company plant, gives} nearly half of its issue to the elec- tion campaign. Its treatment is based on the conditions in the mill, and upon the danger of a world war. Another ‘Exposes Lewis. The “Stanton’s Miner’s Blast,” published in Wilkes-Barrre (Phila- delphia district), gives the same proportion of its space to the cam- paign. The chief article is entitled “Whom Shall the Stanton Miners Vote For?” and takes up the sup- port of the Lewis bureaucracy of the two big capitalist parties and the role of the great coal companies in these parties. The “Hudson Worker” (Detroit) prints a large notice of the Communist campaign, with photos of Foster and Gitlow, at the top of its first page, and gives the whole last page to a special Communist election appeal.

The main shortcoming of this issue is that al- though published in October it does not deal with the election campaign at all, aside from a little announce- ment of the Communist presidential candidates. In the New Haven Dis- trict there is the ‘Winchester Worker,” an eight-page mimeo- graphed bulletin, very neatly gotten up and with over half of its space devoted to the election campaign. The bulk of the two pages edited-by the Y. W. L. workers in the factory is devoted to the campaign. The “Eagle Pencil Worker,” pub- lished in New York, gives an entire page, plus parts of other pages, to the campaign, basing its chief. article on the fact that the bosses prepared police to keep the workers from Leaving Communist speakers at the factory gates, whereas republicans and democrats were allowed to speak, distribute leaflets and so on. A shortcoming in this paper is the failure to even mention the S.

It goes to the other extreme from the “Eagle Pen- cil Worker,” since it hardly even re- fers to “liberal” Al Smith or “ef- ficient” Hoover. Of course, these are small papers, but the’ workers issuing them must learn to touch upon essentials, even in the small since this is an election issue and the paper has eight pages (twice a3 much as the average shop paper), this shortcoming could have been overcome. Partially compensating for this, however, is an innovation which should be greeted with cheers --it contains the first page of any factory paper the Party has ever issued in a foreign language. The last page is written in Italian, and the chief article is an election ap- peal for the Workers Party.

The majority pro- posed that first steps toward the transformation to the shop commit- tee system be begun immediately. Shop Chairmen’s Council elect from ‘ts ranks a representation to the Joint Board, according to the num- ber of workers they represent in the. shops. Joint- Board delegates are elected from the local meetings now. The underlying reasons for this, Borachovich explained, is that as the shop chairmen increase the number of people they represent in the shops their numbers on the Joint Board also increase, thus shop delegates, through their council, will take over*more and more of the functions of the board.
