Diet were forcibly expelled by the police on the orders of the social- democrat president of the Diet after the Communists had put up a fierce fight. When a Communist representa- tive protested against the new wage system for officials which favors the higher officials at the expense of the lower ones, his speech was throttled by Guillotine. The Com-| munist protested later, but was again prohibited to continue his! speech. This time, however, the Communist continued speaking, | whereupon the vice-president of the | Diet expelled him. The police arrived to remove the | Communist, but other Communists | prevented the removal. Then the| social-democratie president of the | Diet expelled the whole Communist | fraction and called a large body of uniformed police to remove the Communists, After a fierce fight between the police and the Commu- nists. they were finally removed.

In the Bayonne Hospital a gas meter exploded in the basement. The blast shattered many windows and frightened patients. A man and woman in an adjoining room were Will Matheson, who wrote the above resolution, presented it for action every coal digger’s hand shot up immediately. In Bicknell, Indiana, the center of a two years’ strike, and one of the best strongholds of the left wing miners’ movement, the nucleus of fourteen members unanimously | stands by the Central Committee. A | meeting to explain the issues of} Trotskyism was held on Sunday,} December 9th, with William F, Kruse, district organizer, as the speaker. But already at the preced- ing meeting the nucleus had unani- mously adopted the following reso- lution: “In most emphatic terms the Bicknell nucleus fully supports with- out reservations and endorses the action and decisions of the DEC and CEC in the case of Cannon, Shacht- man, Abern, etc. Much as we re gret to learn that Comrade Swabecl has allied himself with anti-Party elements, thus causing his expul. sion, we recognize that the Trotsky- ists in the American Party must be eliminated,” | Thus far not a single nuclei in any mining town has voted against | the CEC. In other sub-districts also the vote is practically unani- mous in support of this line. In the industrial centers of Racine, Kenosha, West Allis the vote was unanimous. In Madison, Wisconsin, likewise. In Milwaukee the south- | side nucleus voted unanimously, the north-side 12 to 4, and the central | nucleus 7 to 3. These votes cast in opposition were declared to be not | against the expulsion of the Trot- | skyists but against the statement | accompanying this expulsion. | In Gary, Indiana, when the city secretary, J. J.-Rusak, offered a/ statement. with strong Trotskyist | inclinations the membership all but | unanimously voted to reject this | statement and instructed him to/ submit another. After a somewhat | lengthy consideration over a period of several weeks he did so and dis- | sociated himself from his former position. Special agitprop measures are being taken with respect to a group of five lower functionaries in Chi- cago who expressed themselves for a statement somewhat along the Rusak line and it is expected that all of them will be retained for the party. Thus, in District 8 also, where for many objective reasons the Trotskyist Opposition was ex- pected to show its greatest strength, it has been completely smashed and the Party stands more solidly than ever for the Leninist line of the Cl and CEG ~ ~ | by the preponderance of small scale sh paces remain behind the demand. “However, the lack of commodi- ties is connected with the present period of reconstruction in industry.
