The in- fluence of the imperialists has been felt by the workers in the increasing use of fascist methods in all workers’ struggles. Every large strike no matter whether independent of the Red Trade Unions or not, is quickly turned into a political fight for the right to strike by the brutal tactics of the state forces. The entire apparatus of the Communist Party is being newly con- structed in order to make the campaign a success. The slogan “Atten-| tion to the works!” formulated at a recent session of the Central Com- mittee is being carried out by every unit with the carrying of the) propagan1 directly into the factories. Every effort is being made to win the support of the largest possible number of workers so that representatives from all of the important industries will cooperate directly in the Anti-War Campaign.
