And the finan- cial campaign is being carried on in the columns of the Daily Work- er, not as something separate from the struggles of the workers, but as an integral part of them. To relegate the drive to a special “drive news” page would, in ad- dition to the extra expense in volved, mean lowering the level of the campaign simply to the ques- tion of money-raising instead of the political question of the role and need of the Daily Worker and the necessity of mobilizing the broadest masses in the struggle to Save it. | We certainly want to print more news of “what the workers are doing in America,” in the U.S.S.R. | and all over the world.

In a special feature story by one John Mitchell, a staff writer, the columns of that paper are thrown! open to the renegade Lovestone, who was expelled from the Communist Party in 1929. The article describes the Communist Party as “split into four groups.” These are described as the official party, the Lovestone group, the Gitlow group (which re- cently split off from the handful of Lovestone renegades and has a. still smaller renegade group, following Gitlow, and the renegade Trotskyist group All Expelled Years Ago. All these groups in no way affect the unity of the Communist Party, the United States section of the Com- munist International. ‘The Trotsky- ites under the leadership of Cannon were expelled in 1928. Lovestone, Gitlow and their followers were ex~ pelled in 1929. Since then many of the followers of both groups have recognized that they were being mis- led into the camp of the capitalist | class, have repudiated their leaders! and found their way back into the ranks of the Communist Party. The split between Lovestone and Gitlow is a sign of the still further disinte- Lies About Party Membership. Pursuing their attempt to belittle the Communist Party, and weaken its influence over masses of workers and farmers that are more and more challenging the hunger and war pro- gram of Wall Street, the Scripps- Howard papers quote Lovestone’s lies that the membership of the Commu- nist Party is only 8,000.

CARLISLE ETROIT.—The press campaign slandering the strikers and their leaders began a few days before the Briggs Company issued a statement to the press on Janu- ary 27th entitled “Boost Pay to End Strike.” Everyone knows how they emphatically stated that the sti rs had ousted Phil Raymond and the other leaders who had helped build up the strike organ- ization. It did not matter that the strikers sent delegations to the dai- Jl papers, definitely telling the edi- tors that the mass meetings of the striker and the Central Strike Committee resented the pred re- | demanded a complete | retraction of the malicious “oust- | ports and ed leaders’’ statements. Yet, in spite of the decision of the mass body of strikers, up to the present moment these statements are be- ing issued by the capitalist press. HENRY FORD BEHIND PRESS CAMPAIGN The growing mass organization and the determination of the strikers had created a situation where the auto bosses made up their minds to stop at nothing to | break the strike. Henry Ford and Edsel Ford called on Briggs and inspired Briggs to issue their “Boost Pay to End Strike” state- ment—but on condition that organization of the men would be recognized, However, all the efforts of Ford and Briggs had no effect on the solidarity of the strikers. In order to attack the workers further, y hired a scab. leader of the Detroit News, James Swein- hart, who in a two-column article Stated that the “workers guaranteed a minimum hourly rate by the Briggs Company,” and “that old employees would be given until noon to return to their job.” Hund, the manager of Briggs stated, “the men on strike can come to work whenever they want.” Hund further declared that “95 per cent of the strikers want to go back to work and are kept back by the attitude of the few...” ARRANGING ATTACK AGAINST STRIKERS. The strikers were said to be “reds and Communists.” To com- plete the scare, Ford closed down his plant; and armed and legal fore were prepared to attack both the strikers and the leaders. Governor Comstock instructed Os- car G. Olander, Commissioner of Public Safety “to keep in close touch with the situation and ad- vise him of any developments.” Henry Ford arrived again, he was welcomed by Joseph Greedon, chief deputy sheriff, Captain John Paffhausen of the Highland Park Police, and Dan EB. L. Patch, chief of Police. They all went into the Briggs plant, remained 30 minutes and O: G. Olander, chief of Public fety received full instruc- tions regarding his duties, Mur- phy's cops, Comstock’s State Police, Sheriff's Wilcox's deputy sheriffs and the National Guard all got their instructions. To complete their attack against the strikers, Doak of the United States Depart- ment of Labor, was instructed to get on the job. Immediately he sent R. M. Pilkington to make con- nections and the play was staged; their forces were rallied: Press lies, slander, tear gas, machine guns, and the law! oie * JONDAY noon was the deadline for the return of the Briggs strikers. The strikers did not re- turn; the show of force organized by Henry Ford and Briggs was of no more consequence than a stone against a rolling avalanche. Every move they made was de- feated; the organized force of Henry Ford was beaten. State- ments appeared in the press saying | the Briggs plants were almost fully manned and Ford's plant would be opened. They said bodies wo go to the Ford plant and all was well. What happened? Ford work- ers, locked out since Thursday, be- lieved these capitalist press state- ments and went down to the Ford plant on Monday morning. They came in crowds thinking the re- ports were true, and. found out that there were no bodies from no | | | were | atte | | strikers’ mass meeting had a direct | | but. the Ford workers for their yery lives. Again the capitalist daily pa- pers utilized this attack against the workers and wrote “Police Save Workers From Mobs.”... “Mobs Stone Returning Workers.” This “riot” scare cooked up by the | Briggs—nothing around the plant | capitalist forces was supposed to | have taken place Monday, January 30th. THE ARREST OF PHIL RAYMOND. On Tuesday night, between 10 and 11 p. m. (Jan. 31st) Phil Ray- mond, leader of the Auto Workers’ Union, was arrested while return- ing from a meeting of strikers. The | Cops arrested’ him under instruc- | tions from Prosecutor Toy. He was | quesioned, and charged with “in- citing to riot” at the first hearing. At the second hearing, John Pfalle wanted to hold Raymond an ad- ditional 48 hours in order to allow the prosecutor to gather evidence so that he might be charged with “Criminal syndicalism.” Maurice Sugar, Raymond's attorney, ac- cused the police of persecuting his client, adding, “The employers are trying to break the strike by keep- | ing Raymond in jail. ay ieee A feetiee Raymond’s hearing was taking place, a mass meeting of strikers was being held and the | mcy discussed the situation arising | out of Raymond's arrest. They un- animously agreed to stand by Ray-~ mond and the Auto Workers Union. There is no doubt that the decision of the strikers was imme- diately brought to the prosecutor's attention; and the decision of the bearing on Judge Marschner who decided that Prosecutor Toy’s com- plaint against Raymond were dis- missed. The judge told Toy’s as- sistant, “you have had sufficient time for a complete investigation and there is no reason why this man shoula be deprived of his li- berty because of generalizations!” And so, once more mass pressure and mass organization have beaten down Henry Ford.

It is taken from No. 20 of the “Commu- nist International.” Yesterday's installment concluded with the statement that the “biggest elec- toral victories of ty- Communist Party of Germany were obtained in the districts where the strike moyement was the strongest”). . IN this respect, the results of the elections in Berlin are particu- larly instructive. Here the brilliant victory of the Communist Party of Germany coincided with the height of the struggle of the Berlin trans- port workers, in which the leading role was in the hands of the Com- munist Party of Germany and the revolutionary Trade Union move- ment, from beginning to end, while the social-democrats exposed them- selves from start to finish as a hireling band of strike-breakers for capitalism. a ve ee HE tremendous political im- portance of the strike of the Berlin transport workers, which broke out on the very eve of the Reichstag elections, was also re- alized by the whole of the bour- geoisie. The organ of the Centre, “Deutschland” had. good reason to write that “the strike of the Berlin transport workers was not only a political struggle, but also a political signal. The “Berliner Borzenzeitung” had good reason to write that “the activity of the Com- munist Party is far in excess of the normal activity of election propaganda.” In this strike, as in many of the big strikes which have recently taken place (Belgium, Geneva), new manifestations and forms of proletarian activity, in the conditions of the end of the par- tial stabilization of capitalism, have found vivid expression. There had not been any strike in Berlin transport for nime years—since 1923, The reformist union was very strong here. -But.in. spite of all the é@fforts of the reformists, in spite of their recognition of the binding nature of the arbitration court decision, in spite of all their strike-breaking work, they could not persuade the working masses to refrain from striking. The greatest activity in this strike was shown by the busmen, who haye responded hitherto least of all to revolutionary propaganda. The National Socialists who, at | first, wanted to follow the reform- ists in admitting the binding na~ ture. of the decisions of the arbitra- tion court, were compelled, uider the pressure of their own masses, to join the strike. This participation in the strike was an attempt to de- ceive the Berlin proletariat with social-demagogy, so that, by this means, they could ensure a split in | the working masses for themselves | right before the elections to the | Reichstag. This is one of the chief causes why Strasser gave his cate- goric refusal to reply to the pro- posal of Hammerstein to abandon the strike, and enter the govern- ment. Before the elections there could be no question of abandoning the strike. NAZI DECEIT FAILS The National Socialists nad need of, this, especially because they clearly -felt the disappointment of the workers and unemployed who had been deceived by then, and who had been diverted by social demagogy into the ranks of fas- cism, a discontent which has been expressed in the growth of the anti-fascist united front in recent months. It was a further attempt to ensure the conversion of the | factory cells of the National So- cialists into mass fascist trade union organizations. The attempt was not successful. The defeat of the Na- tional Socialists in Berlin was not <0 great as that of the social-dem- ocrats or es the defeat of the “Nazis” therselves in other indus- trial centre of Germany. But it remains a fact that in all the proletarian divisions of Berlin, the losses of the National Socialists were very palpable. se * NEW feature in Cierman strike struggle, which chéracterizes the higher level of this struggle, is the » Tole of the Strike Committee, which ‘was elected from below by delegate conferences, and which, from be- ginning to end, kept the leadersh’p in its own hands. By its leadership, the Communist Party succeeded in creating a most popular strike committee in which were repre- sented non-Pariy, Social-Demo- cratic and National-Socialist. work- ers.

A further new feature in this strike, finally, was its result. dn spite of the fact that, under the pressure of police terror and the strike-breaking of socal-democraty, the workers accepted a reduction of 2 pfennigs an hour from their wages, even in spite of the mass dismissals which comemnced in the factories, moral and political sac- cess was entirely in favor of the strikers. and the Comunist Party which headed the strike. LESSONS OFAN ELECTION In such circumstances of sharp intensification of the class struggle, the German workers proceeded to the new elections to the Reichstag —the fifth big electoral campaign this year. The keynote of the elec- tions was the extra-Parliamentary mass struggle of the proletariat, and the maturing of a revolution- ary crisis in Germany. The first fundamental lesson “of this electoral campaign is “that neither the fascist dictatorship ~6f the Von Papen government, nor the mass movement of German fas- cism, nor the main social bulwark of the bourgeoisie—Social-Demoe- racy—which was utilized by mon- opolist capital for the strengthen- ing of its dictatorship, none “of these was able to retard the ac- celerating speed of the mdicaliza- tion of the masses, to prsvent the processes of crisis in the mass movement of German fascism; or those of the growing crisis of social- democracy, which had already been so clearly expressed in the elections to the Reichstag, three .months previously. The changes in the re- lationship of the forces of revolu- tion and counter-revolution are continuing to move irresistibly in a direction beneficial to the work- ing class and its Communist .van- guard. In the conditions. of the most brutal.police terror, the Com~- munist Party not only increased jts vote by 700,000 and raised the.pro- portion of Communist votes from 145 per cent. to 17 per cent, but— which is most important—it ob- tained its biggest victories in the decisive industrial centres—espe- cially in Berlin,-and the industrial district of the Rhine and West- phalia. The elections showed that in Germany the Communist Party has been able to create a serious barrier to the chauvinistic wave, and closely approach the solution of the strategic task of winning over the majority of the workiny class. ‘HE bourgeois-fascist’ and social- democratic press attempt to weaken the dmpression made by the election results by stating that these results were “expected” by everyone and that electoral activ- ity on the whole was lower than in the previous elections. But though there was a fall in the proportion of voters who took part in the elections there was almost everywhere an increase in the num- ber of Communist votes, and it is precisely this fact which indicates the significance of the successes. of the Communist, Party, the. only Party which emerged from these elections with really substantial gains. It may be said, in passing, that election participation turned: out to be much greater than was expected, and was not far behind the record election activity of the previous election. As for Berlin, the participation of the electorate even increased. The number of votes cast was 120,000 higher than at the Reichstag elections on July 31st this year, but the Communists won 140,000 more votes, i. e., 20,000 more than the total increase in the number of votes, and 30,000 more than the comibined losses of the social-democrats and national-s¢o cialists. “ SIX MILLION RED VOTES © = The second lesson of the election campaign is to be found in the defeat of national socialism. The elections showed that the program: of social and national liberation, put forward by the Communist Party two years ago, is becoming more and moré a revolutionaty weapon for the concrete expos of the national and social dema=+ Sogy of national-socialism. The masses are understanding more and more that chauvinism will mot destroy the Versailles system, Six million votes for Communism—sueh is the reply of the working cl: Germany to the increasing siveness of German imperialism, to the military adventures of General von Schleicher, to the appeals of Eas a Thalmann from the prole- tarian tribune in Paris for a strug gle azainst nationalism, for inter- nationalism. “The enemy js in our house.” These words of Karl Liebknecht are now Penetrating millions of the German ‘oletariat, rousing in them the menor of the monstrous treachery of social- democracy on August 4th, and call- ing them to a self-sacrificing reyo= lutionary struggle against fascism, against reaction, against new im« perlalist wars, i (TO BE CONCLUDED) Farm Strike Head Jailed by Bosses The Argentina Government . yes- terday launched a vicious attempt te break the strike of the impoverished farmers and share croppers, arrest- ing Esteban Piacenza, president ot the Argentina Acrarian Federation, and ocher leaders of the striking farmers. 4 Striking farmers held protest de- monstrations in a dozen towns in four provinces, demanding the. lease of their leaders and raising demands for lower rents,’ freights and relief at the the government. ata
