MAY FIRST PAVED THE WAY FOR BROADER MASS STRUGGLES By J. PRETERS. (CONCLUBION,) Despite these definite made in some localities, serious weal nesses were evident everywhere in the attempts to apply correctly the Bol-/ shevik tactic of the united front.| ‘There was an over-emphasis on nego- tiations with the leadership, even though in most cases the local leader- ship, of the reformist organizations. The maneuvers of the leaders of the S. P. and A. F. of L. organizations were not sufficiently exposed before the masses of workers. There was too much of a reliance upon the decisions of the local leadership without suffi- cient activity among the rank and file of these organizations, keeping them fully informed on the steps in the negotiations and organizing the unity below around the most immed- iate burning issues confronting the workers. This accounts for the rela- tively small number of A. F. of L. local unions and S. P. branches par- ticipating in this action. In many localities, however, we were still unable to break with the sectarianism, resulting in very nar~ vow May First conferences and rally- ing only small numbers of workers on May First (Kansas). At the same time in other places we witnessed the opportunist distortions of the united front tactics in making appeals di- tect to churches for May Day (Buf- faio, Birmingham) instead of con- ‘entrating on reaching the masses at- ending churches.

Unemployment and social insurance, while no doubt em- phasized in the speeches at the dem- onstrations, was not made the cen- tral issue at all united front confer- ences and was in many cases com- pletely omitted from the agitation for May Ist. A concrete exposure of the Roosevelt program, bringing forward the proper demands that the situa- tion in the country requires, still plays jan insufficiently central role in the not conducted to consciously begin | the Roosevelt program and to utilize the May First mobilization especially for actions against the effects of the Roosevelt program. The struggle against imperialist war and the dan- ger of an attack against the Soviet Union was in many cases not prom- inently and in other places complete- ly absent from the agitation. Key Task Developing Unity of Work- ers in Factories The major weaknesses in the May strations themselves is once again emphasized in the lagging in our shop Central of Mobilization for May First ‘The emphasis on unity pinced in work, While in one or two cities (Detroit, St, | agitation.

This also reflects a certain wrong conception of the united front, that the united front is more or less lim- ited to joint actions by various organ- izations, Detailed attention to the development of unity below among the workers especially in the factory, among the unemployed, around im- central task in the united front ac- to break down the illusions created by | tivities, The welding of a powerful united front of the American work- ers will not be accomplished through negotiations with the leadership—it will only be achieved, strengthened and solidified in the daily struggles of the workers. .. Recruiting Still Lags Behind Due to this conception of the united front the bringing forward and build- ing of the Party in the May First preparations and actions was often reformist leaders, and the fear of of- fending these bodies, on the part of our comrades. The Party did not play struggles devel-'a sufficiently decisive, independent role, bringing before the workers its | position, its progrant—the way out advances | Of the central demands of the Party.| the country there was yery little con-| for the masses of workers from the - | Thus, while practically all demonstra-| centration on the factories and little| crisis.

In analyzing the recruiting during the month of April in the largest districts as well as throughout the ‘country, one can readily see that the building of the Party was not sufficiently a part of the daily preparations. While it is correct that last year the Party con- ducted an intensive recruiting cam- paign during the month of April, it nevertheless cannot overlook the mediate demands was not seen as the| fact that this year the possibilities for | | building the Party are much greater. And yet, the recruiting during April was practically the same as last year. In many large districts the recruit- ing was even less. This failure to build the Party still reflects the sep- aration of Party recruiting from the daily mass activity. ‘The beginnings made in May First, | despite the many shortcomings, lay | the basis for extending the leadership ‘of the Party. But this necessitates a careful follow-up of the work con-| ducted before and on May Pirst—) First preparations and the demon-| hampered by the opposition of the| crawing in these masses into local actions, then a further development of the united front tactics, proving to the South, where the air is thick with | subtle arguments to justify inequality) and segregation. Main Task hese comrades often say: “ key job now in the South, is the ganization of masses of white work- ers.” That is correct. It is doubly true, because without the organization of white workers, our Negro work itself cannot progress far. The Negro work- | daily paper of the weekly “L’Unita| ¢™S raise this question sharply. Be- fore they throw themselves into the Party in great masses, they want to standing with them and strug-) the white workers of the South. But what is not true is that the} way to win the white workers is to) hide our program on the Negro ques- tion, We are not going to fool the white workers into the Party, and we may as well Jearn it now. Incorrect Slogans No doubt the most flagrant exam- | ple of such a tendency wes the com- plete failure of the Charlotte dis- trict to raise during the election campaign the question of the right of the Negroes to vote.

Abolition of the poll tax, property , and residence qualifications.” Hide Main Issues All this was explained in a letter to the (then) district organizer of Charlotte, who wrote back this shameful reply: “The trouble with our Party in the South is that we have been raising too damn many Negro demands!” In the preparation of leaflets in Birmingham for May Day, 1933, the demands for Negro rights were de- | liberately omitted from certain leaf- lets, It was explained that these leaf-| lets were for the eyes of the white/ workers. The Agitprop Commission of | the Central Committee condemned these leaflets in the sharpest terms. A leading white worker in the movement in Birmingham was on trial recently in the capitalist court. He showed splendid militancy, until asked: “Do you believe in social equality?” He said: “No, only in eco- nomic equality.” Some white non-Party members in Birmingham suggested a _united- front ticket for the October, 1933, city elections. They believed that such a ticket would be highly successful, on condition that all nominees be white. It is neither surprising nor scanda- lous that white workers in the heart of the South, without previous con- tact with our movement, should make such a suggestion. What is highly scandalous, is that many of the lead- ing comrades in the district favored | the concession, Our Central Commit- | tee forbade such a shameful deal, Wipe Out White Chauvinism “But,” our comrades object, “the white workers in the South are shocked when -we mention complete equality.” Of course they are! We know very well how these workers, from childhood on, have been pump- ed full of the bosses’ poison of race hatred, Yet these workers are ex- pected to jump at our program of | full equality, without day-by-day agi- | tation, without patient propaganda | work, without the organization of small joint actions, without any ex- planation of their common interests with the Negroes. Instead of plung- mittee of Action, make concessions to prejudice. Race prejudice and the oppression of the Negroes have been among the chief factors in making the Southern working-class, white and Negro, the most oppressed group in the coun- try. To bow before this prejudice is the most terrible treachery, not only to the Southern Negroes, but also to the Southern white workers. ‘These comrades underestimate the intelligence of the Southern whites in twe ways: They imagine that they can be fooled into the Party, and they underestimate their ability to understand and fight for equal rights for Negroes. Our Proposals Abstract | What, then, is the trouble with our work among the white workers? | It is not bringing forward our full! Negro program, but rather the fol- lowing: 1) We have appealed to the white masses in general, and in the ab stract. We must now concentrate on | a certain section of white workers, say in a given mill, or in Ensley (Bir- mingham), and raise the most con- crete everyday issues, and stick to it until something is built. 2) In bringing forward our Negro program, we have made abstract ap- peals to the white workers. We have failed to show them, concretely, how they are kept down because of the di- vision of the ranks of the workers, because of the existence of a group of super-exploited people, forced to work longer hours for less wages, DOWNTOWN JADE MOUNTAIN American & Chinese Restaurant 197 SECOND AVENUE Bet, 12 & 18 Welcome to Our Comrades aaaa———eeSSS—————————"== Phone Vomkinw Sq, 6-9554 John’s Restaurant SPECIALTY: ITALIAN DISHES Sata A crane 302 K. 12th St. New York same union, was arrested only about two weeks ago and is being held for deportation, although an American citizen, She is now out on $1,000 bail.
