In addition, 4 new street nuclei were organized. The last week, which was the eleventh, | brought many changes in the relative position of each district. Cleveland was the leading district this week with 195 new members, while Pittsburgh really started the Drive with | 112 new members this week. The total for the week was 762 new members, of which 61 were Negroes. Withs the. Drive concluded, Detroit is.in first place with 216 per cent of its quota; Cleveland second, with 167 per cent; Philadel- phia third, with 149 per eent. Eight out of fifteen districts have gone over their quota. The recruiting of 6,167 new members, most- ly.from industry, speaks for the vitality of the Party in this present period of economic crisis.

Rectify Failure in Daily Worker Subs. The section of the Drive in which there was 2 complete failure, and for which the entire Party migt be criticized and steps taken to remedy, was the Daily Worker. With the ex- | ception of California, Philadelphia and Boston in subs. and Detroit in delivery sales, no dis- trict considered the Daily Worker important. To remedy this situation the entire Party must mobilize to. conduct, in connection with the Party. campaigns—Unemployment, Defense of Soviet Union, Gastonia. and Against Criminal Syndicalist Laws, and May ist—a gigantic nation-wide Daily Worker Circulation Driv for 60,000 copies to be sold each day. The Party, with. the same. determination, plus 6,000 new members, must succeed in establish- ing the Daily Worker on a firm foundation, through making it the every-day agitation and organization of the Party. Revolutionary Competition was by no means a sufficient driving factor in the Drive. It did not, penetrate into the lower units, except in a few districts. New’ York had an easy vic- tory over Chicago, both in new members and in Negro recruits. Similarly, Detroit had a walk-away with regards to Cleveland and Philadelphia, although it is significant that these three are the leading districts in the lve. Boston district, which was not content % challenge California, but in the early stages of the Drive, when it was making good pro- gress, also challenged Minnesota, finds itself defeated by both. Revolutionary Competition, which serves to intensify the activity of every section and member of the Party, must be hrought to the forefront in the Daily Worker Drive. Still Greater Tasks Ahead. The Recruiting Drive has been successfully eoneluded, despite many shortcomings, such as absolutely insufficient recruiting in factories— | or by shop nuclei; only a part of the member- whip mobilized in the Drive; failure to recruit through. the Party fractions or build fractions in. process, etc. In spite of these shortcom- ings which we must criticize ruthlessly and take: drastic steps to correct in the districts, the, Party today has added 6,000 workers to its ranks,-and in many districts we have prac- tically.a new-Party. Although the Drive is completed, recruiting of members goes on as @. regular Communist activity every day in the ops and in connection with the Party cam- | of Railway Economics. bers—involving them in mass activity—chang- ing the life of the nuclei—turning the face of the Party to the shops—organizing classes for the new members.

ORGANIZATION DEPT., CENTRAL COMMITTEE. ment on the Railroads ee greatest net operating income on record was earned by railroads in the U. S. in 1929, The net operating in- come of 180 Class I railroads in 1929 amounted to $1,274,774,000 as compared with $1,194,487,- 000 in 1928 and $1,231,790,000 in 1926. The bl mileage operated by these roads is 241,- 54, The figures for 1929 represent an increase of 6.7 per cent over 1928. Had it not been | for the developing economic crisis and the de- crease in traffic during the closing months of the year, the earnings of ‘the rail magnates would have been between"15 and 20, per cent greater than in 1928. This is indicated in the fact that railroad earnings in the first eight months of 1929 were 20 per cent above those in the first eight months of 1928, but were cut to 12.9 per cent in the ten months and to 8.4 per cent in the eleven months, These fabulous earnings hardly satisfied the railroad magnates, since, according to Edward E. Loomis, president of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road they “failed to provide a return to equal the 5:75 per cent declared by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the transportation act.” The significant feature of the figures for 1929, however, is that they were piled up with fewer workers operating the roads. This was mitde clear by Loomis himself who stated: that “last year’s showing was made possible by moving the largest volume of freight traffic in history. , . . Because of this record traffic and because of the operating efficiency and administrative economy, the railroads have struggled up to the edge of a 5 per cent re- turn, not a particularly high reward according to the standards’ of other industries.” These pitiful tears of the “struggling” rail- road magnates and the crying “injustice” of having only a billion and a quarter dollars to divide among themselves for the year of 1929, out of the total surplus taken from the workers by the capitalist class, will undoubtedly soften the hearts and the hardships of the thousands of railroad workers thrown out of their jovs. In the past ten years: improved machinery or new methods caused about‘ 250,000 railroad workers to be dropped from the payrolls, Small- er crews have been handling the same and even increased tonnage. Announcements like the following frome Alexandria are typical for the entire railroad injustry. “Late in Feb- ruary, 50 train service men at Potomate Yards, ii ja, will be laid off because of the instal- lation of a car retarding device. Since Jan. 1, this year, 40 men in the car inspection de- partment and 13 in the locomative department have been given definite furloughs and are due to go. The cut in pay roll thus far has been at the rate of $90-000 a year.” At the same time wages for railroad work- ers are admittedly below the level of 1920. “Wages,” according to a Wall Street financial excent Sunday, at 26-28 Unton oA Baily Qs Worker Central Organ of the Commumst Vary of the U.

USTRIAN social fascism is making great itrides with regard to the development of its German nationalist ideology. Its national- ist propaganda is closley linked up.with the slogan of “incorporation with.Germany.” This slogan was represented to the workers as a | panacea for all the economic ills from which Austria is suffering. In order to spread this idea and at the same time to establish contact with the national bourgeoisie. there was found- ed. the “German-Austrian People’s - League.” This organization arranged a demonstration. in the summer of 1929 in Klagenfurt, advocating union with Germany, at-which the Republican defense corps took part together with the Heim- wehr, and at which social democrats and na- tional socialists (fascists) came forward as speakers. ; This Klagenfurt demonstration however cre- | ated a considerable amount of bad blood among the social democratic workers. with the result that it could not be repeated. Now however the President of the Vienna Town Schoo] Board, Herr Glockel, a prominent social democratic leader, has issued a decree to all the schools" and educational institutions under his control pointing out that the German national song “Deutschland uber alles” represents the official expression of the consciousness of unity pre- o vailing among the whole German people. There- fore the Town School Board expects that this song shall be practised in all schools and sung on suitable occasions in order-to promote the national and republican education of the young. The latest phase in the development of Aus- trian social fascism is the leading article of the “Arbeiter-Zeitung” of February 16, dealing with the policy: of the Soviet Government. to- wards the Church. Whilst on the same day the christian socialist “Reichspost” announced in big headlines “crusade against Moscow” the “Arbeiter-Zeitung” wrote as follows under the title: “Church and Soviets:” “A new wave of violence is sweeping over Russia. . . . This policy which believes that it can» with the bayonet colleetivize the mass of the peasants numbering millions and by means of arrests and trials enforce the indus- trialization of Russia and the intensifigation of work is also the outcome of the opjnion that it is possible to transform the entire mentality of a 150 million people by meas- ures of violence, to exterminate religion with- in a few years and destroy the church, This since last year the Soviet government has departed from the original policy of separa- tion of the Church and State and gone over to the volicy of combating the Church by the State, to a policy which reminds one of the Jacobin phase of the great. French Revolu- tion.” The comparison with: the Jacobins is the last trump card with which it. is hoped to ter-" rify the philistines. The®‘Arbeiter-Zeitung” then enumerates the. terrible crimes: of the Soviet: Government how it is. converting the churches, synagogues and mosques into.meeting rooms melting down the church bells and does not also forget to remind its readers of the arrested and banished ‘priests in’ order to de- clare finally: ‘ “We social democrats who fight on frin- ciple for freedom of conscience -against ‘cleri~, calism, must also fight against the new turn” of the Soviet policy. It is not permissible to use force in order to impose one’s views on free human beings. . . . Stalin’s policy which aims at changing by means of State power not only thé economy but also the world view of 150 million people is. not ours.” As a matter of fact the “Arbeiter-Zeitung” has never allowed any international campaign against the Soviet Union to occur without ac- tively participating in it, so that there is no need for us to be surprised that it is now join- ing in the campaign of clericalism. ‘We do not underestimate in any way the im- portance of such articles in connection with the writer, “were reduced in 1921 and 1922 and reached. their lowest post-war average in 1923. "| It is estimated that wages in 1929 were ap- proximately $2,852,000,000 (for 1,800,000 ‘rail- road workers) or about $830,000 less than in 1920,” ” “2 Meanwhile. the gigantié rail merger proposed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which will be ‘brought ‘to a close ‘in the very near future, will throw out an additional half milion workers from the industry, even according to the most conservative estimates, ae ¥ international war preparations against the ‘So- viet’ Union. Nevertheless we. believe that this time the Austrian social, fascists have uncau- | tiously exposed themselves too much, The Austrian workers who know to their own cost what: the power of the church means, follow with warm. sympathy -all the endeavors.of the toilers “of the Soviet Union ’to do away with the last remnants of clerical: influence. |.

Letter From a Worker Editor Daily Worker, Dear comrade: 1 ask you to publish this letter it the Daily Worker. I received two copies of the counter- revolutionary paper “Revolutionary Age” from the former Party member, F. Vratatich, Wilkes Barre, Pa. When I read that countér-revolu- tionary paper, I found ‘that this paper is no better than the Trotzkyists’ party wrecking paper. ‘ . At this moment when all the capitalist coun- tries. attack the Union of Socialist Soviet Re- publics and prepare war against it, these Party wreckers try to’send their lying counter-revo- lutionary papers to workers and try to -tell them that the Party is no good. And not only that, but they have declared war on the Com- munist International and on the Soviet Union. All workers know that the capitalists of every kind are the enemies’ of the workers. But thjs bunch call themselves Communists, and they all work against the Communist move- ment. I ask them through the Daily Worker not to send me their counter-revolutionary paper any more, because I support the Communist Inter- national and you bunch of Party-wreckers will not be able to draw me away from the Com- munist movements The workers in the anthra- cite region do not want your Party-wrecking policy and will take the mask off your face so that everybody can see who you are.. And send me no more “Counter-Revolutionary Age.” Lovestone’s Pals Freed by Courts While: Comntunist e Worker Is Senténced PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia ‘(By _Inprecorr Press Service).—The trial of the liquidators Nourath, Jilek and Houser, took place here yesterday. They were accused of having main- tined connections with a foreign power in or- der to overthrow ‘the Tchekish social system. They- were also accused’ of espionage. After short. proceedings, all three were acquitted on fhe ground that although the-court found that they had ‘actually* received money from the foreign power, in-other words from the Com- munist International, this money had been used to carry out “legal aims.” The espionage charge was held'to be non-founded.

MASLOWSKI (Berlin). E acts of provocation against the Soviet | Union have increased tremendously of late. It is.perfectly obvious that they. are due to | the chagrin and. disappointment of the capi- talist world at the fact that. the Five-Year | Plan is being sudcessfully carried out, that in- dustrialization is succeeding, that the collec- tivization of agriculture with the simultaneous liquidation of the kulaks as a class is making progress. The furious incitement against the Soviet Union is also a measure of the growing world crisis of capitalism, for which the im- perialists hold the existence of the Soviet | Union responsible. But the new factor. in the present situation is not so much the quantity of the provoca-, | tion, but rather the form in which anti-Bolshe- vist activity is being systematized and united. | All the different links of ‘the incitement are being united with the aid of religion into a single chain, extending -over ‘the whole capi- talist world, * Pope Pius XI, who as a former papal Nun- cio, has.a good practical knowledge of the methods of ideological -counter-revolution, who has already»succeeded in surrounding the So- viet’ Union with a chain. of concordates.in Po- land, Lithuania, Latvia, Rumania, etc., and | who-in the year 1927, issued the slogan, “Res- | cue Christian. civilization from devilish Bolshe- of the “moral” world front against Bolshevism. A.permanent committee for combating Bolshe- ed'in Rome. The 19th of March has been fixed as a world day of! prayer for the Russian Church, The whole action is under’ the pro- | tection of:“Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus.” The parsons of the whole world have sud- denly lined up in the black anti-Bolshevist front.’ There ‘are no longer any sectarian dis- putes: The English bishops, among them be- ing the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, have wel- comed the call of the pope and demanded that the Soviet Union should not be recognized or, where it is already recognized, relations should | be broken off until “religious. freedom” is re- stored in Russia. Whether it is question of a catholic priest, or a protestant pastor or a rabbi, there is only one religious battlecry: Down with the Godless Soviets! The mobilization of religious fanatism on a world scale isin full swing. ~ In the midst of all this anti-Soviet incite- ment the Second International must of course | not be missing. From the point of view of the clerical offensive against Bolshevism there is first revealed in its proper light the calumnies of the social democracy, especially, however, those of the English Labor Party and of the German social democratic party. The press of | the’ Second International has long ceased to “protest” in the name of “socialism” against “Asiatic Bolsheyism.” A glance at the German and English social ‘democratic press shows us that today the church slogan of ‘protection of } Yeligion against the Soviet Union has been ) taken up entirely. ~ MacDonald and Henderson obediently repeat vism,”- has the command in the organization | vism,with ‘religious arguments has been found- | } what the Archbishop of Canterbury has tole The “Vorwarts,” the chief orgar § them to say. of the German social democracy, praises the papal appeal as “an acknowledgment of the | | principles of humanitarian democracy,” and de- ‘clares that it is “really high time” that all “who are endeayoring to hold aloft the prin- ciple of spiritual freedom took action against Moscow.” This organ of the social fascists Se- vering and Zoergicbel has the brazenness to support the anathema pronounced by the pope by referring to the “resurrection of the middle | ages,” not perchance in social democratic Prus- | sia, which concluded a concordate with the catholic church, but in the separation of church and state and church and school in Soviet Rus- sia. Thus, that which the social democracy in its better days advocated’ as its own demand, it now describes, in)papal jargon, as “‘a savage | terrorization of religious life.” | One is declined to dismiss the whole matte: | as something ridiculous and absurd, but th | erusade, so far as its international historic: | tasks are concerned, is of much deeper signi- | ficance. Hitherto it was one of the great sources of trouble and worry to the world im- perialists and their social fascist train-bearers that with the very extensive technical-military | preparations for war on the Soviet Union there was lacking the necessary war ideology. in the masses. The warmongers are quite aware that without such an all-embracing and effective | war ideology it would be a risky business to | venture on war. | In seeking for the most attractive war ideol- | ogy, the imperialists hit upon the papal slogan | of the necessity of protecting christian Euro- | | pean civilization from Godless and Asi: Bol- shevism. ‘Here there was offered a relatively favorable opportunity to make use of the re- ligious fanaticism of the masses for ideological war preparations. That it is precisely the pope who is playing the leading role in this anti-Soviet crusade is not surprising. The catholic church and its | international structure best corresponds. to the | imperialist League of Nations. “Its authorita- tive and dogmatic teachings based upon the ab- | solute obedience of the masses, runs parallel | to the main feature of fascism. The catholic | church, by the establishment of missions to the heathen in all parts of. the world, has at the same time the organizational means in its | hands for supporting world imperialism against | the Soviet Union and the oppressed eaecly, | peoples allied with it. Thus regarded, the papal social-fascist crv | sade against the Soviet Union is nothing els | but a higher stage of the imperialist war pre- | Parations against the rule of the Russian work- | ers and peasants. That all reactionary forces, | including the social democrats, stand united behind the papal anathema against the Soviet Union, only shows the attractive force of this religious war ideology and therewith the in- creased danger of war. Therefore far from regarding the clerical | offensive as a mere trifle the revolutionary proletarjans in all countries must display in- creased vigilance and. stand ready to defend the fatherland of all workers. ; How the Workers Distribute - Their Fighting Daily ‘ By BOB WOODS. In Detroit we have denionstrated the fact that the Daily Worker can bé builf now. In less than three months we have increased the number of readers by nearly 2,000. The total circulation now every day’ is about 2,500 made up as follows: 1,700 in bundle order, about 100 at the new stands, and the remainder be- tween 700 and 800 in subs. Three months ago the bundle order—if' we | can dignify it by that name—was exactly three copies every day. Now it-is 1,700. Before another month is over it will be ‘much above 2,000. Already. the order for Saturdays is 2,000. The plan followed in Detroit is no longer ex- perimental. It is already successful. The gain has been steady. Beginning -with a bundle of 200 every, day, we have gone up to the present figure, never downward. The District pays its bills to the Daily Worker. This important item proves that the plan is :working.. - How are the papers sold? About 750 to 800 copies are sold regularly by half dozen “news- boys.” These newsboys are Communists. They are members of the Party and the Young Com- munist League who-go out every day and not sometimes. They average 125 copies a day. Some of ‘them sell as high as 250 papers a:day on some days. It‘ must be remembered that the weather lately in this part: of the country was not very favorable, and the results.of the newsboy sales will increase with better weather. It must also be.remembered that the city police and the private police of the companies do everything possible to prevent our comrades from selling the paper at the factories—and this. is where they are mostly being sold. The reports of the comrades show that the Daily Worker is recognized by the workers as the only paper of.the Workers, Workers at the factory gates buy theirtpaper regularly. Un- ‘employed give their three:cents for the Daily. The workers protect the comrades in many cases against: the stool pigeons of the company. The: balance. of the bundle order is: sold through distribution from: house to house by thé street nuclti. A territory is taken and the paper delivered for a week. At the end of the week the worker is asked if he is willing to get the paper daily and pay 18 cents at the end of the week. Those willing are listed as reg- ular readers. For those.who do not want the paper an equal number of workers.in the ad- jacent territory get the paper for a week and so the round goes. For example, let’s say a street’nucleus has 20 members. They get 40 papers every day. Every day a different comrade takes care of the'distribution, arid’in some units two or more comrades every day so that every comrade participates once a week. The paper is de- livered the first week to the homes of 40 work- rs. At the end/of the week let us say ten workers become regular readers. The nucleus still receives its.40 papers but chooses 30 new ‘homes’ Of wonkins. “ to the point when it will haye all 40 readers | they will receive an additional 40 papers to | start a new. territory. In other words every | nucleus constantly delivers to the regular read- ers and constantly tries. to get new readers by repeating the process of delivering the paper free for a week. they sell. The nucleus must guarantee one cent for every member per day in the event | that they do not collect.from the regular read- ers. enough. to pay. for the papers. Nuclei that sell only. one-third of their papers have + enough to pay for all the Papers. . The workers read the Daily and they like it. The paper is a force in this District, Through- out Michigan the number of papers coming every day and sold and distributed are near- ing the 3,000 mark, This means: that many times this number read :and know about the Daily Worker. The paper is a mass force =) | | The newsboys"get two cents for every paper | | this is reflected in all the activities of th Party and accounts for many of the success Our program is an athbitious one: not satisfied with the results. We Sanaiae satisfied until every worket will read the Daily Worker in the Michigan District, Before that time arrives we will have a Michigan’ Edition of the Daily Worker. We are planning to have @ page every week soon, and when we have 5,000 readers we will arrange for a page »very day.
