The Socialist Party neds a “great campaign” to cleanse itself of the record that its present chairman, Morris Hillquit, appeared as counsel for ed Russian capitalists in an effort to obtain through American capi- talist justice, what the revolutionary justice and power of the Russian proletariat had rightfully taken from them. The Socialist Party needs a “great campaign” to cleanse itself of the fact that its chairman, Moitis an answer to a hypothetical question as to what the American | ! However, search as we may, we cannot find in the “great campaign” of the Socialist Party against social patriotism any effort to cleanse itself of its own treachery and betrayal. The Socialist Party let its record speak for itself. It glories in this record. It glorifies in its membership in the Second International, together with the murderer Noske, together with MacDonald, who, in the name of British imperialism, ordered the Mass shooting of Indian revolutionists. The “great campaign” of the Socialist Party is instead directed against Comrade William Z. Foster. The “campaign” bases itself upon Foster’s testimony before the Senate Committee investigating the Steel Strike. The “great campaign” on closer inspection does not direct itself against social patriotism at all but seeks support for its treacherous socialism | inevitably into the camp of the couriter-revolutionary Socialist Party. Now the Socialist Party condemns Foster for not having elevated his error into a policy, which latter act would have made of Foster an honored member of the Socialist Party. Instead, Foster recognized his mistake, condemned it, and has since fought against all forms of social patriotism and against the social patriotic Socialist Party. That is why the Socialist Party attacks him FOSTER AS FIGHTING LEADER. Here we are justified in taking note of the fact that precisely during the period when he made this serious mistake, Foster was also actome plishing the only serious mass organization of workers and conducting the only serious ganized mass struggle which took place, Foster organe ized and led 160,000 packing house workers, gaining them conditions such as they never knew before nor since. He organized 250,000 steel workers and led 350,000 in a three-months strike against the most powerful Amer- ican monopoly industry. In spite of this opportunist mistake on the war situation, he succeeded in making himself the man most hated and most feared by the American capitalist class. And he gained the experierice which led him directly, in the years immediately following, into the Communist Party and into the clear-cut Bolshevist struggle on all fronts of the class war, the strugg nst war as well as the daily struggles of all workers on their immediate needs. For the Socialist Party, with its 18 years international record of social patriotism and betrayal of every struggle of the working class, to attack Comrade Foster on the grounds of social patriotism is indeed = tionary Soviets to build Socialism are threatened by a desperate effort of the bankrupt capitalist world to save itself by destroying the Soviet Union and by re-subjecting the Russian masses to the slavery cf capi- talism, “GREAT CAMPAIGN OF S.

IN FORE OF ANTI-SOVIET DRIVE. The Socialist Party needs a “great campaign” to cleanse itself of its recerd of money contributions to Abramowich and his Menshevik col- leagues for the express purpose of instigating acts of counter-revolution and sabotage against the Soviet Union, as uncovered in the Merishéevik trial in Moscow. The Socialist Party needs a “great campaign” to cleanse itself of the record that its presidential candidate, Norman Thomas, has for years tried to cover every one of the treacheries of his party and the Second Inter- national with equally treacherous radical phrases. in a eroy of “Stop Thief.” James Oneal and other lights of the Socialist Party accuse Foster of an act of social patriotism committed in 1919. Foster was then the outstanding leader of the strike of 350,000 steel workers, He himself was mainly instrumental in organizing these workers. The strike was in its most critical phase. The steel trust, supported by the A. FP. of L. bureaucracy, tried to smash the strike. Its main weapon was an attempt of the government to brand the strike as an attempt to overthrow the government and to denounce Foster as a dangerous Red to the law, order and business of the American ruling class. To serve this purpose the steel trust had reprinted a half million copies of the pamphlet of Foster written in 1912 when he was a syndicalist. The main purpose of the Senate Commission examining Foster was to secure a sub- stantiation cf this point. FOSTER’S MISTAKE. logical props of the capitalist counter-revolution as social fascists.

The steel and metal worker dele- gates were not attacked by the police, but the evidence given in reports from the floor shows the olass strug- gle raging as hot as in 1928. Two skilled American workers from Ohio, veterans of the 1919 steel strike, were listened to with great attention because of their part in swinging the Ohio steel workers into the new union. “We need some wins,” said one. “Then there'll be no trouble about the union growing. The boys are tired of losing.” He stresseq the necessity of sticking to one job until it was finished. Organizers Joe Dal- let of McKeesport and Pete Chapa of Pittsburgh also spoke of the danger of leaving jobs half way. 900 Miles On Freights, A deep impression was made by a Bungalows and Rooms to Rent for Summer Season Several very nice rooms and bungalows for rent for the summer season.

He called for a vigorous stand for Negro equality, and pro- posed a resolution calling on the governor of Alabama to free the Scottsboro boys. “I believe that when this matter of Negro equality is put up right, it's just what the white Southern workers are looking for,” said this worker.

More Lay-Offs. Delegates from the Calumet dis- trict of Chicago and Northern Indi- ana reported new equipment being introduced at a more rapid pace than ever. The Inland Steel Co. has put up two new mills, one at a cost of $1,000,000. The new merchant mill employs only 14 men, against 75 in the old one, and has double the output. The new skelp mill employs 75, against 200 in the old one, and turns out three times as much tonnage. Workers from sheet and tinplate mills were numerous, and all reported some kind of new continuous or semi-conscious pro- ¢3ss introduced within the last two years. The smaller “independents” have outdone the U. S. Steel Corporation and the Bethlehem with respect to wage-cuts, delegates indicated. One reported a labor rate of 29.7 cents in the Youngstown Sheet & Tube plant of Indiana Harbor, Ind., compared With 44.5 cents three years ago, a reduction of 331-3 per cent. U. S. Stes] common labor has been cut 23 per cent. From Aligippa, Pa. and Indiana Harbor came reports of how the workers are being obliged to take up truck gardening. “Next winter they'll use that as an excuse for not giving us even as much relief as they do now,” said a delegate bit- terly.

He declared instead that he had himself purchased Liberty Bonds and that the Stockyard Workers Union, which he had organized and headed during that period, had carried on a campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds. Foster’s mistake at the time is the permanent crime of the Socialist Party and of the syndicalists. It is the Socialist Party and the syndicalists who cover their political treacheries against the workers with the excuse that the political struggles, such as the struggle against war, must be Bosses Olympic Barred Muse, Negro Actor, From The Olympic Village Manager Declared “No Negro Entertainer Will Be Allowed Inside Negro Athletes Humiliated at Games; Workers Athletic Meet in Sharp Contrast LOS ANGELES, Calif, Aug. 15.—It became known today that Clarence Muse, well-known Negro actor, was denied admittance to the Olympic Vil- lage, which was built up here in connection with the bosses’ Olympic Games, Muse; who is the star-of the Bill Sharples troupe of radio entertaincts, was barred because of his color by the entertainment organization of the American Olympic committee.

I want to say that the “Daily's” exposure of how the So- cialist newspaper, the American Freeman, stole Comrade Foster's speech word for word and substitut- ed the word “Socialist” for Commu- nist, proves how the hypocritical So- cialists are trying to win over the workers with radical talk but pro- capitalist action.

Fifth, the court used alleged statements of the executed Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Hsiang Chung Fah, and of the Com- munist renegade, Kou Cheng Chung, but both documents are unsigned, un- sealed and unaccompanied with any proof of their validity. Moreover, it is well known that Hsiang never made any statement. Sixth, the court invited a police handwriting “expert” who is unqualified and not impartial; seventh, this “expert,’ Ma- son, examined only a few unimpor- tant documents while the accused demand that the court invite an in- dependent expert to examine all doc- uments which allegedly implicate the accused of Communist activities. This request was refused by the court. Eighth, the Singapore letter which is allegedly written by Ger- trude Ruegg, and is the sole so-called evidence against her in the whole case, does not contain anything re- lating to China. No Proof. The police “expert” testified that a few corrections in this typewritten letter were written in Gertrude Ruegg’s handwriting. The Defense Committee's statement concludes that the accused have dem- onstrated that the police report, con- stituting the sole base of the prosecu- tion, is wholly unadmittable and vio- lates every legal requirement, and that the court is completely unable to produce any substantial proof of the framed-up charges against the ac- cused.
