The vote in the committee stood 5—17, with the result that the delegates never got a chance to vote on the resolution. Fake and Real Opposition A fake opposition, as well as a Genuine rank-and-file opposition, was active at the conference, according to Haywood. The fake opposition wi typified by the leaders of the Chi cago delegation, “They started out with a frontal attack upon the offi- cialdom of the N. A, A. C.

We're going on strike right this week.” I was in haste to talk about the strike. Sam said he was glad to hear it It was high time for the painters to start things. Afterwards he showed up at the strike headquarters regularly and I had a chance to observe how he changed, By and by the strike leader fak- ers of the union were showed up. "The strike was ordered by the Mas- ter Painters Federation, to kill off the small firms, the “Cockroach” bosses. The day of big building was over so the big bosses were forced to angle for small fry, for the lit- tle jobs which had been done by the small bosses so far. That's why they wanted to break the small bosses. And that’s why they used the union—and the strike, From day to day this became clearer, especially because of the tactics of the strike leaders. The big bosses were not picketed, only the small ones. We demanded fight against the big bosses, too. We de- manded that the entire member~ ship picket all the scab works. Of course this demand was sabotaged by the leaders. Meanwhile the strike fund, some $30,000, dwindled to nothing, pocketed by the politi- cians, their friends and the gang- sters, Our left-wing opposition grew stronger every day and more eyes were beginning to see clearly in the rank and file. Small wonder We went along 37th Street to- wards the piers and carried the banner sideways along the sidewalk. We couldn’t move steadily. We got along for half a block, then stopped for a few minutes. Often we could | go only 20 or 30 steps and had to | wait for another start, Ahead of us marched thousands of young workers, Alongside and “Wanna seé somp'n?” STEADILY, almost falling as he reached down, he tried to lift the woman's skirt. Some of the women in our ranks cried out in- voluntarily and the soldier straight- _ ened up, eyed us and laughed his | imbecile laugh. Suddenly, as his | glance wandered over us, he saw | right behind us were the members | of the John Reed Club and the Pen | and Hammer. Sam was in shirt- sleeves, his helmet strapped under his chin. His great fist clasped the pole of the banner which the wind tried to wrest from him; he was as serious as if fighting for life at | the front with a gun, This was his first May Day. E had passed the tenements and | there were only warehouses and great shipping platforms around us. Most of the gates were locked, there was hardly a sign of life. Our slogans were silent, our songs too— for what or for whom should they sound? It was a dead neighbor- hood. When we get to crowds, we'll start again. We were even a bit sore. Why march through the most deserted part of the city? After one of our starts we stopped before a hulking big building whose doors were closed. We knew long before- hand that we were to see something interesting there as we saw many marchers step out from the ranks at that spot, A fat drunken woman was there, leaning against the closed dooti a big empty building, Fat, bloat Sam. His face changed, he pres- sed his fists to his eyes, and just _ looked and looked at Sam. We all gazed at Sam, too, who stood as if | petrified. His two arms out-— stretched in front of him, he grap- | ped the rod of the banner resting | at his feet. His face was abso- | lutely rigid, as if carved in stone. Somebody in front of us shouted, “Forward, march!” Sam lifted the pole with a swing and he, too, shouted loud and strong, “Forward, march!” When we were already some fifty paces from him the soldier stag- gered up to the marchers and for | a while tried to keep up with them. He kept pointing to Sam all the time and explained stammeringly | to everyone, “Tha’s me father there.” The distance between us grew. Though I held the first pole I could feel that Sam wanted to hurry, so a out fast. We turned into the avenue and lost sight of ithe soldier, Soon we reached the Young Workers’ group.
