Price 3 Cents A Demonstration of Inter- 2,000 Workers Resist the national Solidarity Militant masses of workers went to the Federal Building and City | fall on Saturday afternoon to voice their protest against the murders in Haiti, to declare their solidarity with the revolutionary workers of that oppressed country, and to denounce “Peace-Pact” Stimson who stimulates war in Manchuria with the Kellogg Pact and makes war in Haiti with marines. From two to three thousands workers gathered for the demonstration, at the call of the Communist Party. Mounted police were thrown against the demonstration as soon as it appeared. The authorities were furious, especially at the size and spirit of the demonstration, and proceeded against it with clubs. But this time the police found they were not beating pass’ victims, but were met with active resistance to their customary brutality. A splendid spirit moved the entire body of demonstrators, which communicated it- self to the thousands of on-lookers, numbers of whom joined the demon- stration, a participation which was felt also by the police. Typical of the spirit of the New York police, as representatives of U. S. imperialism, was their method of singling out Negro, Chinese and Japanese workers for especially brutal clubbings. It was this which especially aroused the fighting spirit of the mass of demonstrators, who registered some effective protests before being driven off the streets. This demonstration, the most militant and largest of its kind seen here in many years, reflects the rising spirit of struggle of the working class. It reflects the growing consciousness of the wo: 's of the burn- ing need of international solidarity, for the common struggle against imperialism. It records the rising barometer of class struggle, which finds other expressions in the movement in the South, and in the grow- ing Illinois miners’ strike. It gives political edge to the thousands of conerete partial struggle developing over the whole country. And of especially immediate interest to the members of the Com- munist Party, it puts the seal upon the process of reorientation of the Party upon the line of the Comintern, and the liquidation of the Lovestone-Cannon renegades from Communism. The Party was mob- ilized for struggle as it has not been for years. It was filled with the Bolshevist spirit of unity and struggle. The New York demonstration, as well as the smaller one in Wash- ington at the same time, aroused a sympathetic response in thousands of onlookers, and expressed the deeply-felt feelings of hundreds of thousands in the whole country. The great mass of anti-imperialist sentiment, stirred by the rape of Haiti and the intervention in Man-. churia, found its first effective expression. Let these great positive achievements of the demonstration not cause any neglect in searching out the weakness in its organizational preparation, which prevented it from being twice as effective as it was. A searching, self-critical analysis of the preparation and execution of the demonstration must be the starting point of greater mobilizations, more effective struggles in the near future. Forward to new struggles! Oust the marines from Haiti! port the revolutionary Negro masses in Haiti! ers and peasants overthrow the militarists! Sup- Help the Chinese work- Defend the Soviet Union! Keep on the Offensive! Win the Miners’ Strike! It is a fundamental principle of tactics, in the strike struggle no , Jess than in military struggle, that the offensive wins the victory. A victory on the defensive is of use merely as a preparation for the offensive, and the offensive is to be seized at very opportunity. If the Illinois miners had settled down to picket those mines which first came on strike a week ago, they might have had three or four thousand out, instead of perhaps 15,000 at this time. If the miners in the 1928 strike had followed their old traditions of militancy and march- ed into Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and the coke region, that strike would have been won. The official bureaucracy of the United Mine Workers of America was able to prevent mass picketing and marching on a large scale in the strike of 1927-28, though the left wing, and the Communist Party repeatedly urged such tactics as the only possible way to victory. The strikirfg miners of Illinois, now in their own union, the National Miners Union are on the march. In spite of every attempt at repres- sion, in spite of. tear gas, and machine guns, and bayonets wielded by militia, bosses’ gunmen, police and deputised U.M.W.A. thugs and “organizers” the miners come out on strike one after the other, and the strikers’ ranks grow from day to day. The U.M.W.A. bureaucracy, International President Lewis, Harry Fishwick, president of Ilinois district, and the other district adminis- trators belonging to the Lewis machine in the last strike, did not want a victory. They were engaged, as results have since abundantly proved, in selling the miners into defeat, disorganization, and the slavery of low wages and worse conditions, long hours and unemployment. They were engaged in transforming their United Mine Workers of America into a company union, and maintaining their position as paid agents of the bosses. This is still the objective of the Fishwick and Lewis administration. Fishwick has even taken back into his ranks that old-expert in the sell-out, Frank Farrington, who accepted the $25,000 a year bribe from the Peabody Coal Co. while still U.M.W.A. president of Illinois district. Naturally, the State of Illinois, and all its county sheriffs, the whole machinery of repression dominated by the Illinois coal operators’ rallies all its forees to stop the mass picketing and the marching miners. The mass arrests in Nokomis, and at Bullpit, the tear gas and gunfire at Coella, these are the desperate efforts of the coal operators, acting through their state, to suppress a revolt that menaces coal operators’ profits. They show that this is class war, and that the industrial struggle has become a political struggle almost on the first day. The immediate support of the coal operators by Fishwick’s denun- ciation of the strike, his rallying gangs of U.M.W.A. hired thugs to raid the Auburn picket lines a few days ago, the immediate deputizing of the U.M.W.A. gunmen at Coella and Nokomis and Springfield—ex- pose completely the role of the company unionized U.M.W.A. official machinery in such crises as the Illinois strike. And it is'on such ele- ments as these of Fishwick’s that the Muste movement relies for its “new A.F.L,,” according to its own publicity! The action of the Coella local of the U.M.W.A. in refusing to meet with deputies present, the refusal of a thousand U.M.W.A. rank and file to work at Taylorville with militia present, the action of 800 Pana miners, assembled in a park to hear speeches on the strke, from which meeting they bodily ejected a U.M.W.A. international organizer who wanted them to go back to work; all these and many similar incidents show how the rank and file feel. Miners! ! Workers everywhere! This is clear cut class struggle. The National Miners Union, the Trade Union Unity League of which it is a section, the Red International of Labor Unions to which the T.U.U.L. belongs, and the Communist Party, the workers political Party, are leading the fight for the working class. The U.M.W.A., the A.F.L. which signed the “no strike” agreement and “no wage advances” agree- ment with Hoover, and participated in his “Grand Fascist Council” a faw davs ago, the Muste group, and the renegades like Watt and the srotzkyites, whose articles and speeches are used by the operators’ press for strike breaking purposes, the I.W.W. who scab at Collinsville. All these are enemies of the workers. Throw out the labor traitors! Rally to the support of the miners’ strike! Spread the struggle! On the offensive everywhere! with Accorsi It is plain that the acquittal of the worker, Salvatore Accorsi, was due to no such fiction as a “fair trial,” but solely to the timely intervention of the American working class, rising in protest to defend this worker whom the Mellon gang of Pennsylvania millionaires fully intended to send to the electric chair.

Hence there can be no mistake. The evidence against Accorsi was false, of course. But so was the evidence against Mooney and Billings. So was it false against Sacco and Vanzctti, and in many another case. The evidence is never the decisive factor either way in trials of workers before capitalist courts. Evidence was not the weapon in Charlotte which brought 20-year sentences to the Gastonia strike leaders. The decisive factor for conviction is the class hatred of the capitalists against rebellious workers, That which saved Salvatore Accorsi, was class anger of the masses. led by the Communist Party and expressed through the wide protest organized by the International Labor Defense. In celebrating the release of Accorsi, let every worker understand the nature of the victory and join the Communist Party, whose methods of open class struggle will not only free other Accorsis, but lead to the emancipation of the whole working class from the rule of the capi- talist class which now robs and murders them.
