DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1933 - MICHAEL PELL UTAH novel THE STORY SO FAR: The crew of the S.S. Utaly after the boat has stopped. at Copenhagen, Helsingfors, and Leningrad, US.S.R., Te~ turn to their boat, deeply impressed by what they have seen in the Soviet port, as contrasted with the ports in the other countries. So, when they are awakened at 4:30 one morning and have to wxit around for an hour before beginning work; and when they are ordered to work on Sunday, their day, off, they refuse. In this move their leader is Slim, a member of the Marine Workers In dustrial Union. Yesterday you read how the seamen, after organizing for the strike, held their ranks solid- ly and stood for, their demands before the threats of the Captain. You also read how.they won their demands. Now read on: " “Jumping-Faced> Jesus (continued) ~& PAUSED for breath: his lungs were in bad shape and when he | talked much it made him cough. “Well, men, I'll tell you what I’ve done.” He pulled out a little black book. “I joined this Marme Workers Industrial Union right:in the Sea-/| men’s Club there—And I'll tell you| what I’m. thinking..of, doing now: | joining the Communist.Party as soon | as we get back to. the,.States!” | Pitts turned to the Eskimo. “Now| what do you say to that?—And I'll! tell you something else: I’ve been a member in goods standing of the American Legion all these years, but - now that: my eyes are opened, and| after seeing how the Leglen stgod| by and let Hoover miirder the veter- | ans in Washington—I’'m through with them, and joining the reds.” This speech, coming’ from a man who spoke so little!’ impressed the men. Slim was surprised, too. “That’s all right, you're doing a} -- good thing,” assured the'second cook, | a Dane with feminine-features. “Do you: belong’ te ity too?” Pitts. “No, not. yet. I was thinking many times of..joining over: there in New York, but they're so dirty, and they go around. the streets,hollering and making so much rackef,that’s what, I don’t like: about: them.” “What I don’t like,”—here Blackie threw his spike in,—‘“is that they're all foreigners.” Pitts smiled. “Am-I a-foreigner? Is Slim there a foreigner?” “But you'll have to admit,” sec-} onded the Dane, “a hell of a lot of | them are’ foreigners.” _ | asked | | * LIM patted the Dane on the back. “Righto! We have to, and we're proud to. We're very thankful to the foreigners for~helping the movement in the~States. But don’t! swallow that bunk*in the Saturday | Post or Daily Herald, which is only) intended to divide us—In every} country they use the same line. In| England, they say it’s the foreigners! | in Australia they say it. But we work- | ers don’t fall for thatdine: no mat-| ter what the natiofality or race or) color,—our only question is: Are you -a worker, willing to fight against capitalism? Yes? ‘Them you're our comrade!” | Fritz handed Slim a glass of kum- mel on this speech. “Hey, for Christ’s sake,” called | Gunnar, “I . thought Communists | don’t drink!” aes “You thought they don’t drink, and the second cook thought they don’t wear clean underwear, and Blackie thought, they're all foreigners, and Eskimo thought they’re all criminals. jin INSTALLMENT 29 his shoulders, the Swede stuck his head into the toilet. “Say, young feller, do you know what you forgot about?” “What?” “Setting up a ship’s committee!” “Jumping-faced Jesus!” GARLY the next morning they made fast to Raumo. Right after break- | fast the deck gang beat it ashore. Slim had an appointment. he reached the other side of the dock he found Pitts there already. comrade.” Slim noticed the serious meaning the word “comrade” had for Pitts. He asked him when he had joined the union. “Just before we left Leningrad. The | | Club delegate informed me that you | were ship’s delegate.” “O.K. Now that there are two of us on board, we form what's called a ship’s group.” “We the only two M.W.1.U. mem- bers on board?” “There is one other member, but for certain reasons he cannot be active. This much I can tell you: he is an officer, and in your de- partment. Pitts winked understandingly, “I think I can get Barney to join. He's been a member of the Machinists Union so long now, it’s hard to budge him.” “Why not let him stay there a- while, and join the M.W.LU. too. In that way, he can compare the workings of the two unions better, and also do some work from within the Machinists’ Union—Which re- minds me: you said you were getting | | out of the Legion and into the Com- munist Party. I’d advise you to stick in the Legion awhile, in order to expose them from within. You've probably lots of friends there, the rank and filo trusts you more than an outsider. Show up the fascist of- ficiels and their corrupt, anti-work- ingelass policies right at the mem- bership meeting!” Pitts considered silently. “The same with, Barney.

But for some time, the) World continued to pay his large) salary merely to keep him from work- | ing for other publications. | With the outbreak of the war, how- ever, Minor began making a series of slashing drawings against both im~- perialist sides of the war. J, A. Ten-; nant, then managing editor of the/ evening edition pf the World, under-| took to publish this series. However, hhe soon came to Minor to say that) the World could not use such car-| toons, in spite of their very great) popularity. He told Minor it was necessary to begin to make the car-| towns not against both sides of the imperialist war but “gradually to turn them more and more against the German side.” Seeing that this was) in line with the effort to put the) United States into the war on ithe} side of the Allies, Minor picked a} quarrel and succeeded in getting the! contract with the World annulled.| He immediately went over to the New York Call and in 1915 became) the cartoonist for that paper which; was the daily central organ of the Socialist Party of the United States.

He was charged with “high treason in war time” and a court martial appointed. After Minor had been in jail a few days he was notified that the military authorities would demand «the death sentence. While Minor was preparing his de- fense, which he intended to conduct himself, the Conrt. Martial. came to the prison and was confronted by the prisoner at about, 2 o'clock in the morning. It deyeloped afterward that the peace treaty was about to be signed (the war was aba stand-still through the Armistice at’ the time) | and with a legal status of peace, a conviction would be more difficult, While the Court Martial was being hastily prepared, the peace treaty was signed. From inside of his prison, Minor was able to’ witness through a window, the tremendous “demoraliza- tion of the troops?’ in ‘throwing off discipline, capturing motor trucks and running wild, etc. The whole of the) Communist, Anarchist and Left- Wing press of Europe was carrying on | was guilty but that the lack of cor- roborating witness for one stage of the case (necessary for a trial in- volving the death penalty) had caused the release. | It is notable that the Socialist Party | in the United States, through its re~ presentatives in the State Assembly at | Albany, were just at that time voting in favor of the “Liberty Arch” on | Union Square commemorating the in- | vasion of the Union of Socialist Soviet | Republics, | Upon his release Minor returned | to America, plunged into nation-wide speaking tours demanding the with- drawal of troops from the Soviet Union and the release of Mooney and Billings. A few weeks after his ar- rival, he joined the Communist Party, | which was at that time outlawed by | the Government as an “illegal” Party. Minor engaged in all of the work of the Party leading positions from | 1920 to the present time, during most of this period being a member of the Central Committee.

Government upon that country. The “Mexican War” incident came to a sudden end with Minor in Mex- ico and he decided to go to Califor- | nia for a rest. But instead of a vacation, Minor was plunged imme- | diately into a terrific struggle cen- | tered around the arrest of Tom Mooney and his four associates struggle. For a year and half, Minor fought and worked for the organiza- tion of a mass movement to save Mooney. The International Workers Defense League was resurrected and built up to a powerful organization under Minor’s leadership, 54 Amer- ican Federatiow of Labor Unions be- ing affiliated. Through the murder trials of Billings, Mooney and Wein- berg, Minor worked and fought. Tom Mooney has said that throughout the whole struggle Minor stuck fast to his cause and fought tirelessly where others gave up, The Russian Revolution Then the Russian Revolution broke out. With Billings sentenced to prison for life, Tom Mooney sentenced to death, and of the other three defend- | ents, two acquitted and one dismissed, | Minor decided, after consultation with Mooney, to go to revolutionary Russia. In the Spring of 1918, Minor ar- rived in Moscow. His first act was to carry the thanks of Mooney and the revolutionary labor movement to Lenin for the fact that the Russian Communist Party, under Lenin’s leadership, had saved Mooney’s life by mobilizing the masses against the American Embassy at Petrograd.
