As a result of this investigation, the Central Control Commission de- cided to expel from the Communist | Party twenty-four members, declar- ing that the latter had degenerated into enemies of the Party and the Soviet Power; that they were betray- ing the Party and the working class and working illegally under the guise of “Ma Leninists,” to form a capitalist organization and restore capitalism and kulak power. Zinowiev and Kameneff Among those expelled are Gregory Zinoviey and Leo Kamenev. Refer- cribes them as former organizers of an anti-party, and anti-Soviet oppo- sitional block for which they were previously expelled from the Party but were permitted to rejoin follow- ing submission to the decisions of the 15th Party Congress. The decision of the Central Con- trol Commission declares that they again betrayed their trust. Altho aware of the existence of the Riutin group they refrained from informing the Party about it, thereby support- jing it. The Pravda states today that by remaining true to Leninism and ex- |pelling opportunist elements, the Party has achieved tremendous suc- cesses in all fields. The construc- tion of, Socialism, declares Pravda, is impossible without friction and difficulties’ because the proletarian forces are contending constantly with the bitter hostility of internal and external enemies. In moments of par~ ticularly fierce resistance of the class enemies, individual members of the Party are liable to give way under the pressure of alien elements, even becoming their mouthpiece. Capitalists’ Spekesmen In this way, counter-revolutionary groups were formed which drafted and the relations to the group of «— ring to these two, the decision des- | programs opposing the Party and jaiming at restoration of capitalism jand kulak power, @ dissolution of the Soviet and collective farms and the granting of important concessions to capitalists. The Riutin group consisted main- ly of members who had fought the Party policy for many years and sub- jected Party leaders to particularly venomous criticism. The decision for the expulsion nas now dcalt them @ crushing blow. Naturally, the de- fection of a score of Party members to the camp of the counter-tevo- lution, could not shake the Party or cause it to leave the path of Lenin- ism. Betrayed Workers Before This is not the first time, says Pravda, that Zinoviey and Kameney have left the Party in the lurch, Fifteen years ago, at the most. crit- was compelled to strike-breakers; scorge them as errors, reposing further confidence in them. Ten years later they again betrayed the Party and were expelled but after a show of submission, were | permitted to re-join and were again entrusted with responsible work. Party Shows Strength The logic of the factional struggle |has driven them into conspiracy a- gainst thé Party. Instead of inform- jing the Party of the existerice of the Riutin group they cooperated with it and supported it. The control com- mission presidium’s expulsion deci- jsion has again demonstrated the | strength and unity of the Party. _ Ruthless handling, declares Pravda js necessary for oppotiunists: bétatise all past experiente has shown that opportunism has led into the camp of counter-revolution.

The strikers have elected a broad strike Committee. A picket line Was at once placed in front of the shop, The company employs approximately 100 workers.

Supreme Court protesting against the Scottsboro frameup, stepped on the platform. the delegates and about a hundred Negro and white visitors, men and women, spontaneously rose to their feet, burst into cheers. then with c bannered hall with the surging words and music of the International. In accepting his nomination, Com- tade Patterson, who has just been elected national secretary of the In- ternational Labor Defense, déclared that the presence of Negro and white workers at the conference Showed the fundamental change in working class ranks of America since the beginning of the crisis. “For the first time in the history of the Uni- ted States,” he said, “Negro and white workers are united’side by side in @ common struggle against theit white capitalist exploiters and Ne- gto misleaders.” “More than anything else,” he con- tinued, “the capitalist class fears the unity of Negro and white workers. The placing of my name by the Com- munist Party on the ballot for May- or of New York City is a symbol of the Party's position in the fore- front of the Negro and white work- ers’ united fight against capitalist misery,” Exposes Negro Misleaders With biting sarcasm Patterson cx- posed the Negro misleaders who ask the Negro workers to vote for the Republican ot Democratic Party, He also showed the tue role of the treacherous Socialist Party. “The Socialist misleadéers oppose the demand by the Communist Par- ty for self-determination in the Black Belt atid the campaign by the Com- nitinist Party against the vicious dis- crimination against Negro workers in the matter of jobs and unemploy- ment relief. They say that there is no special Negro problem and that ‘discrimination in favor of the Neé- gro Would be resented by the Negroes themselves’, “They try to maké us believe that.

The audience ar® plauded vigorously when he called upon the workers to join the Com- taunist Party and help it establisir a Soviet Republic in the Uniied States. Shepard, acting as chairman, de- clared: “Not merely by voting, but by carrying on the daily struggle un- der the leadership cf the Communist |Party can the workers uproot tha capitalist system which is the direct cause of the oppression of the work- ers.” He urged those present to ro into the shops, ifto the unions, to rally the workers behind the Com- munist Party as an afiswer to cap- itelist exploitation of the toilers.
