Starvation on the breadlines—starvation in the working class homés. Children dying for want of food! Men, women and young girls dropping in the streets—killing themselves because there \s nothing to eat. Jails full, hospitals crowded! The lines of the unemployed are growing da’ and the only answer of the bosges and the £6 ernment. is starvation, charity and poli¢cemen’s clubs! Less work for the workers in the shops—in- human speed-up—cutting of wagees—part time this is bringing millions more to the hunger line. Workers are protesting against these conditions, are organizing to strike against wage-slashes. The only. answer to the demands of the workers gre more wage reductions, injunctions, police and jailings. “The only possibility of restoring industry is by reducing wages!” So says Mr. Wiggin, of the Chase National Bank. “The only solution for unemployment is war!” So says a prominent industrialigt. Both formulas are guiding the hand of the capitalists and the capitalist gov- ernments of the United States. Great Britain, France—and the wage reduction campaign goes on ruthlessly (British miners, textile workers, German metal workers and miners). All capitalist powers are preparing for war. More men are under armg, more money is being experded for war than before the world war, Is ths a mere statement or must~we learn from Secr>‘ary of War Hurley himself that the coun- try is organized for war—industries prepared, etc, Is this not evidence that the government, although a signer of the Kellogg “Peace” Pact, of the London digarmament treaty; is preparing for another slaughter? need further evidence that the dis- closures the trial of the leaders of the “In- dustrial Party” in Moscow, who declared, as con- federates within the Soviet Union of the im- perialist government of France, England and the United States, viet Union was to have taken place in 1930. but has béen postponed till 1931? All details of the plang were revealed—and could not be denie4 by the imperialist powers. On the contrary, the plans for intervention in the Soviet Union go ou —for “unemployment can only be solved by wai they say.

Lenin, the great leade: snowed us the way that unemployment may be ended; how we must fight against the war dan- ger, how we must turn the imperialist war into civil war—war of the working class against the boss class. Lenin died the leader of the working class of the world. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, revolutionary leaders of the German working class, were murdered by the Germanso- cial democrats, just as the socialists everywhere shoot down the workers and peasants—India, Java, Poland, because socialists enemies of the workers. Lénin, Liebknecht and Luxemburg were hated by the reactionary trade union lead- ers, because the fascist. leaders of the unions like the American Federation of Labor betray the interests of the American workers, prepare with the bosses tor war and for intervention in Organize and | the Soviet Union. of the workers and poor farmers increases and | imperialism finds no other “remedy.” but to kill | off the millions of workers who can find no | work!

The refusal to accept these starvation wages drives the militant workers from one shop to another with the result that in many of these open shops the less militant and inexperienced workers are left to the mercy of the bosses. The class conscious worker in the dregs in- dustry must recognize the error of such pro- cedure. Mistake to Leave Open Shops. It is a mistake to leave one open shop for an- other because it is not a question of an individual shop. Bad conditions are general in the in- PARTY LIFE On Language Work’ T is vital that the piercing searchlight of the C.C. should fall also on Party fractions. we living, functioning Party fractions? rank and file members understand their role? An article in the Daily Worker cf December 1930, by Comrade Kovess prompts me to take rv this question. He deals with one phase of the language question. But he has yet to deal with the other phase, e. g., the function of the Lan- euage Buros. (It’s but a minor error taat he s failed to include the Obrana, the Commu- nist weekly of the Bohemians of this city, but Have | Do we | perhaps he has not failed to observe their move- | ment on the whole). T’ve said that he has yet to deal with the Buros “The Buros in most cases do not scrutinize the vapers for which they are chiefly responsible, do not discuss the shortcomings of the papers.” The Buros ws such are not only responsible for * their respective organs but also for all activities. | When English directives azz translated into the .

If the more advanced workers will continue the practice of,changing jobs there is a serious dan- ger that the most militant workers who should be planted in the ghops amongst the unorganized workers will find themselves unattacked to any shop during the strike. ‘The membership of the industrial union to- day only constitutes a small section of the dress industry, but this gmall section is the backbone | of the coming strike and must be widely spread throughout as many shops as possible in the in- | dustry. The best strike preparations of a union ig to send its union members into the open shops | in close contact with the workers, familiar with the grievances of the workers in every shop, giving leadership to these workers. This cannot be done by changing shops frequently. The union member must establish his or her pres- tige in the open shop, so that when the strike call is issued these union members through their activities in the shops will have prepared the workers to join in the struggle. The work in the open shops must be care- fully planned, The dressmaker who goes into a shop must feel her ground, must develop the confidence of the workers by fighting for bet- ter prices, by taking advantage of the special grievances of the workers in the shop so that when the boss discovers these activities the union member has built up sufficient prestige in the shop da get the sympathy of the other workers. Be on the Job In ‘coming into the “ghop the union member must be alert, find out the other contractors working in the same job, establish contact with the workers of the other contracting shops so that when the strike call is issued we will be able to stop the production of the whole groups of jobvers who are the real bosses in the in- dustry, a contracting industry. Yet there are many shops of strategic importance which the union is particularly interested in. The best and most effective way of assisting in the strike preparations is to report to the union office when looking for jobs so that the union may plant every worker in the shop where he can work to the best advantage of the union. The strike agitation for the derfiands of the union cannot and must not be lintited: to mere outside prop- aganda but must be directly brought into the shops by those workers who recognize the im- portance of the union, who recognize that only through establishing week work in the industry, shortening the hourg to relieve unemployment can the dressmakers get real relief. Into the open shops, every dressmaker and respective language it ghould be in accordanc~ with our Party line; not merely as lip service but in practice. (Today the Uj Elore has been slap- ped into and his fallen in with the Party line). Jt is in place indeed to ask the Hungarian Buro where are its Party fractions in the various fr: ternal organizations; how are they functionin: The fraction Party memberg active in the particular organiza- tion who are conversant with existing conditions is the immediate fader within the organization Build Up Labor Unity ~ the Fight- ing Workers’ Weekly! tinually increasing number of unemployed, tinually increasing number of unemployer, ditions 0: the workers in the shops intensifying, it is important that the workers prepare for big Clags battles That the workers will fight is shown by the tnemployment demonstrations that have taken nlace and the growing spirit for struggle on the vart of the unemployed, whose eyes are being opened to the meaning of charity which is nothing but organized starvation for the workers. in Harlem, on New Year's eve, the colored work- ers in the Salvation Army breadline smaghed the place in the demand fér meat instead of | the sloppy “soup” which they receive.

We must never lose sight of the ultimate aim: Winning and holding these organizations for the Communist Party leadership. It is pertinent to quote: “All that is requisite is that the Party members who belong to these organizationg should use their influence and all their arts of persuasion to bring these non-Party organizations into the closest proximity of the Party, and to lead them to place themselves of their own free will under the po- litical guidance of the Party.” ism). stressed! Our language Burog have not as yet mad» that sharp turn which our Party has made since 1929. The old tactics still persist organizationally. For instance there is a specific case on hand for the Hungarian Buro—that of the Singing Society of Philadelphia. Had the Buro developed a dis- ciplined Party fraction today the present situa- tion wouid not obtain. The Philadelphia situa- tion ig a warning ahead. All outer manifesta- tions prove that our members are awake to it. The recent statement to the Fish Committee “citizens” of Trenton in which they called at- tention to the Communist activities of the Hun- garians, etc., should indicate that our class. en- emies are continually threatening our members with deportation. There is much ground work yet to be done but the clearing process has begun. Today the Party in all phases of its activities smacks no longer of dilettantism; dummies are no longer in vogue. He is the able fighter who readily (Stalin: Lenin- | And this brief paragraph cannot be over- | senges the neers and moods of the pdoletariat | and translates them into correct action, thus winning the workers and the masses to the lead- ership of oux Party, the C.P.U.S.A.

On Workers’ Defense By WALTER BURKE. ‘THE districts that took steps to organize the de- fense of the March 6th demonstrations, did not do so in line with the Central Committee resolution of last February. The work was done on the basis of seleeting groups of comrades, al- together an insufficient number purely’ on the basis of their physical qualifications. The in- structors of these groups were comrades with a limited knowledge of athletics and sports but who did not have a political understanding of the Party resolution, nor of the confronting tasks. Their conception of defense work was the organ- ization of “strong arm men.” Gymnastics, physi- cal exercises, and’ the like, were the training that these comrades received. Not only was this the wrong method of workers defense, but any- one with any understanding of athletics would know that in a period of several weeks, little or no\improyement can be made in the physical condition of an individual. In addition, the com- rades were shown some tricks of jui-jitsu, how ‘o trip a cop, ete, In the main, the methods “sed were methods of “self-defense,” which can at best protect the individual comrades from ‘he attack of the police, but certainly they have othing in common with the organization of self defense of the workers. With this incorrect conception of defense work, ‘ese groups were sent out on March 6th to de-> “vd the demonstrations. When the police at- acked the demonstrations, there was no core to “stiffen and strengthen the ranks of the work- ers” and “unify and direct their defense.” (C.C. Resolution). What Is Workers’ Defense? ~ Unlike the present conception which leads to- wards the formation of a small sect of “strong arm men” consisting fnainly of Party members, the defense corps should be composed of at least 50 per cent non-Party members who have proven their readiness to fight in actual struggles. The Party members in these corps should be selected on the samé basis, The mair. functions of the Workers Defense Corps should consist of organ- izing defense or workers’ meetings, strikes. dem- onstrations and other activities, These Defense Corps must be able to mobilize the workers at their emetings, demonstrations, etc; for their” demonstration or meeting. ee must leara how to raise the fighting spirit of the workers in the direction of defending themselves from attacks, how to distribute the forces for struggle against the police or fascists, how to separate these en- emies, isolating individuals from the main body of the police, And above all, these defense corps | must know when and how to lead the workers | into retreat in an organized manner. In the course of a demonstration the members of the defense corps should know how and whom to recruit; from among the militant workers, into | the orzanized Workers’ Defense Group. The only way that a defense of workers’ dem- onstrations can be successful today, is through the mass character of the defense. ‘Therefore, in addition to the formation of workers’ defense corps, we must conduct through the Party press, in the factories, at metings ;nd demonstrations, a wide-spread cainpaign of’ explanation to the workers on what their. task is in this period in connection with self-defense. All chairmen at all mass meetings and demonstrations should, in their opening remarks, deal with the tasks of the workers in came any attempt is made to break up their meting. To be forewarned is to be prepared. In our work of organizing meetings and dem- onstrations, great care must be taken to prepare their’ defense. The leading comrades must be assigned to this work. For it must be thor- oughly realized that a well offanized, disciplined demonstration of several hundred men ig far more powerful than a poorly organized and in- disciplined demonstration.of several thousand strong, which the police and fascists can dis- perse without the slightest difficulty. - The Party resolution*on workers’ defense of last February lays down the correct line. The! task of the Party is to apply this line in bed every day work. Check Up Activity. in Signature’ Collection in Your City.
