(By a Worker Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, C: of Milwaukee, and Morr here on “Is Capitalism Firmly Entrenched?” and as soon as yellow Hoan yapped and asked him what he did to the unemployed in the Milwaukee March 6th demonstration, calling him a yellow dog “socialist.” At this point 10 comrades charged the platform. orker “Trusts Yellow Socialists Get Same Treatment by Workers Elsewhere“ —Mayor Hoan, yellow “socialist” mayor Hillquit, “socialist” national chairman, spoke OAN, WHO) The Communists say no on unemployment a comrade arose Hillquit stood on his hind legs and shouted “Down with the Communists,” when a blow on the jaw put him down for the count. Hoan made a clean getaway hefore the comrades could get on the high stage and get at him. These yellow dogs know that ca} pitalism would be permanently en- trenched in the United States of America if they had anything to.say | about it, but soon found out they were not permanently entrenched in San Francisco. I trust they will receive the same welcome accorded them »y the }omrades here at all the other places they sit to spew their lying propaganda about the Wnion of Socialist Soviet Republics. ) One cossack was beaten, eight beaten after being handcuffed. comrades arrested and, as usual, Only 70 yellow social-fascists came to hear them and evaporated at the first sign of trouble. them.

This house of efficiency requires us to have or cards punched on time to the minute, although we, of course, are “allowed” to go home later than closing time. They have the fake company as- sociation known as the mutual henefit fund, which is supposed to teach you how to be contented with your job and how to be good and willing slaves for the store.

Further Labor Struggles BRUSSELS (By Inprecorr Serv- ice).—A strike has broken out in a mill in Leuze in the province of Hennegan. The workers demand wage increases. Despite the sabotage of the re- formist leaders the strikes of the building workers in Ostende, of the wood workers in Ghent, and of the workers in the Duffel paper mills near Brussels are still proceeding, Veniselos Attacks ATHENS (By Inprecorr Mail Service).—The Yeniselos govern- Communist Press Communist Party, “Rizuspastis,” in the Greek provinces.

Trotskyites Fall Out BERLIN (By Inprecorr Press S: vice).—An open breach has now oc. curred between the so-called Lenin Leaguo, led by Hugo Urbahns and Trotsky. The official organ of the Lenin League, the “Volkswille,” de- clares that on Sunday the national executive expelled the minority under Grylevitch who rey to Trotsky. Trotsky has now cu’ eff the funds as a result of which the “Volkswille” will appear only nee a week. Previously i peared hree times a week and lived for the most part from reprints from the official Communist organ, “Rote Fahne.” The minority has now made itself organizationally independent and will be known as “Bolshevist Lenin- ist Left-Wing Communists German Seetion,” by the way an interesting confirmation of Lenin’s remark that the longer the name of an organ- ization the less there was behind 1 as a general rule. Although the Kilkenny cat process lin the so-called Lenin League is umusing, it must not be forgotten that a very serious lesson is con- |tained in it, and that is that thos¢ |who leave the Communist Party in- evilably arrive in the morass of men- shevist opportunism. This is the case with Urbahns, who degenerated to the defense of the hangman |Chiang Kai-shek in the Sino-Soviet conflict and together with Trotsky an “inverse Kerenskiade.” The workers ignore these rene- gades of Communism so that today their numbers are very few and they will soon cease to exist as an or- ganization altogether.
