Some of it is as follows: Class in Indian Prisons The government of India has issued a new order relating to the classification of political prisoners. The prisoners in future will be di- vided into three classes: A, B and C. A class will include those by rea- son of their education, occupation and superior mode of living are clearly of high social status. B class will constitute prisoners un- qualified for A class, but above the ordinary jail population, “due to education and social status.” C class will constitute ordinary con- victs. A class prisoners will have separate exercise and suitable bath- ing arrangements. Their diet will be superior to ordinary jail diet. They will be permitted to supple- ment it at their own expense, they can wear their own clothes, have own cooking utensils, and will be allowed increased facilities for read- ing. B class prisoners will be given the same diet as A class, but cannot supplement it by private food. They will have clothing, but of better type than that of ordinary convict. The under-trials will receive a simi- lar treatment as that meted out to classes A and B, The new rule con-| demns the exploited class in India, | arrested for fighting for their eman- ; to a life of torture in) cipation, prisons, while upper-class national- ists are to have an easy and com- fortable life while undergoing their terms in prisons. First Women Jail in India A presidency jail for women, said to be the first of its kind, was opened at Vellore in the Madras presidency on April 15, reports an Associated Press of India telegram. Similar jails for women have also been. proposed for various other cit- ies all over India. This decision of the MacDonald government is a sign of the increasing participation of women in the fight against British imperialism and for national inde- pendence. In the past four weeks a large number of women were arrested. Upon being brought to jail the class character was strongly emphasized inasmuch as bourgeois women were put into Class A while peasant women were incarcerated in Class C cells, Revolt of Peasants The “Indian Daily Mail” of April 7 states that the real danger of the civil disobedience campaign started by Gandhi is the fact that under the guise of breaking the salt law, the peasants are getting ready for the Re- ferring to the situation in Rai Bareilly, where the peasant move- ; | ment is “particularly strong, the edi- | tor of the “Indian Daily Mail,” who is closely connected with govern- ment circles, writes: “The Workers and Peasants Party is particularly active in this district; the relations that exist between thé tenantry and |the landlord are particularly bad; economic conditions have been poor for some years, and it is no wonder that there is an atmosphere ex- tremely favorable to the kindling of revolutionary fervor and to the spread of dangerous ideas.” The organ of the textile capital in Bom- bay continues, “There are two or three other places in the United Provinces and in Bihar and Orissa in which agrarian trouble can be also anticipated.” Strengthening Army in India The “Workers’ Weekly” (Bom- bay) of April 26 reports that the strength of the British army in In- dia has been augmented by the ar- rival of a new contingent of troops from Britain which landed in Bom- bay a few days earlier. The paper understands that troops are being concentrated in “unreliable” dis- tricts, such as the district of Surat and others, where there are signs of agrarian revolt. Motor Trucks Drafted ) The “Muslim Outlook” (Lahore) reports in its issue of May 3 that in Amritsar, Lahore, and other cit- | ies of north India, the police has in- | formed owners of motor trucks to} keep the trucks and themselves in| readiness. The purposes for which the trucks are required have been disclosed neither to the owners, the drivers, nor the public. “In this way,” writes the Muslim Outlook, “the government has requisitioned the forced services of about 1,000 trucks; in some cases, the protests | | or inquisitiveness of the unfortunate | | drivers having been answered with kicks and police batons.” lieved that this requisition is con- nected with the plan of transporting troops from the hill stations to “the plains.” “The requisition of forced labor from a large number of driv-| ers,” comments the “Muslim Out- | move of even questionable legality.” The authorities have set no time | limit to the period for which the trucks will have to render forced | service. Government Requisitions Arms According to reports from India the government is rapidly removing | all arms and ammunition in the pos- | session of Indian dealers. An Asso- ciated Press of India (semi-official | news agency) report states that in Karachi alone, immediately follow- ing the arrest of Gandhi (May 5), about 120 pounds of gun powder were taken.

The city conference of unemployed held yesterday in T. U. U. L. head- quarters, 13 W. 17th St., had rep- resentation from many unions and unemployed councils. It elected four delegates to represent the con- ference in the National Convention in Chicago. It was announced that there was @ total of 91 delegates thus far as- sured from New York, representing all the leading industries, and with largest delegations from the most important of them, food, needle, shoe and leather, textile, etc. The New York delegation will , Start by auto and truck on June 29 from the Workers’ Center, 26 Union Square. Census Admits 400,000. Some indication of the extent of unemployment in this city can be gained from the report of census enumerators, which, partial and pre- judiced, and all tending to save the Tammany administration as much embarrassment as possible and to back Hoover and the official gov- ernment position that unemploy- ment is slight, still show 400,000 without jobs. The figures relate to the date of the census in April, and do not take account of the great increase in unemployment since then, Of the districts mentioned, the Twelfth Assembly District, from 16th to 42nd St., east of Lex- ington Ave., showed the highest per- centage of jebless—11 per cent. According to Hdward Corsi, census supervisor of the district, the un- employment struck most heavily the construction and clothing trades, affecting in this order most se- verely: Italians, Jews and Porto Ricans.

TO WELCOME RETURNED USSR DELEGATION The Friends of the Soviet Union membership meeting on Friday. June 27, will welcome the delegation of trade union members returning from the Soviet Union. The dele- | gates visited “Gigant”—the 500,000 acre farm, the largest collective! farm ever attempted. They saw the great Soviet industries—Traktor- stroy — Selmashstroy — the electric power stations. They talked with workers in shop, mill, mine, factory and will report on how the 12 mil- lion trade union members of the in- dustrial unions of the U.S.S.R. are the driving power behind the Five- Year Plan which will be realized in four years or probably less, Demand the release of Fos- ter, Minor, Amter and Ray- | dustrial growth, serves as an ex-| | ginning of a constant and revolu- PARTY RULERE ‘NTO THE SHOPS XEYNOTE STRUCK AT NAT'L CONV, Break With iPpars 6 Methods Needed (Continued From Page One.) program for a conference, saying that since the Ninth Plenum, which before both the Fourth Con ss of the RILU and the Sixth Congress of the CI, they seriously disagreed with the CI; they now admit that the CI “correctly had no confidence” in their leadership | of the Party because their leader- ship was “completely opposed” to| the policies of the CI. The Party came from the Sixth Convention worse equipped to carry out its tasks, but the address of the CI to the Party last year awakened it to/ the danger. Ruthlessly the Party brushed aside those who refused to accept the guidance of the Comin-| tern. Weaknesses. the CI, but as yet there are many in carrying it out. It has not yet changed to the meth- ods and tactics necessary to do mass work, The Party insuffi- ciently is and feels itself an in- tegral part of the working class. “Into the shops!” must be our lead- ing slogan. The successful campaigns have shown how unity has strengthened the Party. But it has also shown “We in- cline to make noise to create action, rather than organize action and let it make its own noise.” Mere demonstrations without organiza- tion will not bring results. It is| an opportunist reliance upon spon-| taneity of the masses, and this| leads to chaos. The revolution! must be organized and the Party is its only organizer. Capitalism will | not collapse, it must be overthrown.

The crisis in Europe, as in Ger-| many, where the “socialists” had agreed with the bosses for a wage cut; the wage cuts in England) where the Labor Party had ‘done| likewise, is repeated here wher wage cuts are being put over with the help of the A. F. of L leaders This cris’s is not only a crisis for the capitalists, but for the agents. the social fascists. In only one! country is there no depression, the Soviet Union, where in two years of the five year plan the output in-| creased 65 per cent; and it is espe- cially to be noted that last vear, while U. S. production fell 20 per) cent, production in the Soviet | Union increased 30 per cent. This victorious advance of socialism, col-| lectivization of agriculture and in- ample aaa inspiration to the world’s workers, and it is for that very reason, also to grab a new market,| that world imperialism is prepar-| ing war upon the Soviet Union. The War Danger. War danger is also particularly) workers from breaking awoy|500,000 of whom suffer a double;danger is not the job only’ of the acute in the intensifying rivalry between U. S. and British imperial- ism, This arises from the general) crisis and the fight to market sur- plus commodities. There is only} one outlet for this surplus and that | is the outlet of war. We must} fight the war danger, but we can-| not fight phrases about turning imperialist war into civil war. We must mobi- lize the workers before the war,} and on the basis of their daily | struggles and not expect that on the outbreak of war some miracle will happen to organize revolution. ! An extensive analysis was given| of the capitalist crisis which will be deep and of long duration; more- over, capitalism cannot recover to its former strength as this cyclical crisis occurs within the general crisis and decline of world capital- ism. Unemployment will increase, wage cuts will come like hail and the Communist Party must organ- ize the workers in struggle against the bosses. Particularly must the unemployment convention at Chi- cago on July 4th be made the be- tionary fight for unemployed insur- ance, the 7-hour day, 5-day week, against wage cuts and speed-up. Spectacular actions, “record” ac- tions, not based upon organization, must be liquidated. Leadership of masses must be real, not merely by declaration, said Comrade Bedacht. Social Fascism. The crisis narrows the base of fin- ance capital. While no open split may occur, there are local and sec- tional fights within the bourgeoisie. The social-fascists see this and seek to insert themselves as the third bourgeois party, The slogan of a Labor Party once tended to break workers away from bourgeois influ- ence. Today the Communist Party provides the slogans of action which mond, in prison for fighting icant _that the New J for unemployment 4 dnsurance. serve this purpose, while the Labor | Editor Daily Worker:— it by merely shouting |. “ID ROAD IN PORTLAND FULL OF Suggests Way SHALL WE TELL HUNGRY MEN LOOKING FOR WORK to Train TU ne OF OUR ERRORS, Organize DAILY WORKER, DEAR COMRADES:— | Jobless!

Comrade In the Daily W er of June 16, on the back page there is an article by Comrade Murdock about the r.W.U.

It is all too unfortunate that these great mistakes exist without giving the Lovestoneites and other enemies of the workers a chance to publicly expose the “bankruptcy” of the N.T.W.U, and the Communist Par- ty. I think a much better method would be to talk about these things in our unit meetings and _ insist upon a more correct policy in the future from the comrades who are lax in their duty.

It is of special impor jance in the South and must be con- |nected with the slogan of Self-De- termination for the Negroes. The rule of this white bourgeoisie main- tains itself only by lynching. We must appeal to the Negro and white workers as well to replace the rule. of the white bourgeoisie with the self-determination of the Negro masses in those regions in which they are a majority. “There will be a special report on agricultural work,” said Bedacht, “and for that reason we will not jonly touch on it.” It, too, is con- nected with Negro work, “For us it is primarily a problem of the ag: ricultural wage workers.” The Party : iust cease doing Negro | work by proxy, by relegating it to | those comrades assigned to the Ne-| gro Department.
