ss WHAT | = WORLD! ; By Michael Gold if HAVE printed a few letters from readers who said they liked this column, Here is one typical of the readers who not only do not Tike the column, p but- also seem:to hate its author’s intestines. 4 ‘The lettercis from a young organizer of the steel ‘workers’ union in Pittsburgh.°’He-is very impatient and positive, and he brings up questions that have been debated for years and years: “Your lament over the lost proletarian poets, notably Russak, really galls. me,” writes. “To think of us here, with strikes and struggles going on, with so much upheaval among the workers, and you worry be- if cause a guy who could have been a writer went and became an organ- } izer, And we want organizers here more than we want bread! Have you no sense of proportion? “The revolutionary movement is a virile one.

Not-from the ranks of the weak-sister, polite gin-drinking Mexican art-stuff hot air throwers who don’t even know what a miner's payday in a cathouse looks like and who write about the misery of workers .they never even saw. “In line with' which;Jet me tell you that while “The Road” by Marlen stinks, this “S, S, Utah” i8 not so bad.

True, there is little form te~it, no gripping beauty, but when you can’t have fish, you take hetring, and it’s a good herring. “Otherwise, Comrade Mike, you're entertaining.

(ee PAT, to_answer first your personal crack, and thus free the ‘discussion for.more essential matters, I would like to tell you I don’t hang around the cafeterias. I live out of the city, and come in about once a week. I write about eight hours a day, and that’s hard work. Have you ever spent six months working at something, then tear it up and start all over again? ‘Writing is work—hard work. i met the. proletarian writer Hans Marchwitza at the Kharkov con- ‘He is a Ruhr miner, a man of about forty, who fought all through the-avar, was a-leader in the barricade fighting in the Ruhr, and an active Communist functionary. Marchwitza wrote a novel about the Ruhr fighting, and was working at another when I met him, His entrance into literature was an interesting story. He had written his first novet ‘after the’long day underground in the mines, in a dark miner’s hut,” “by..candlelight, surrounded by his family of five children. He slept only fhree of four hours a night. He wrote and rewrote the book at least thirty times. He had to learn his technique, step by painful step. His. health broke’down but he persisted. It took him over three years to ‘write “that: first neve which became famous at once in the German Ne ee ee a a movement. Well, at, congress, Marchwitza, the veteran of wars and revolu- tions, had. to say:. “Comrades, it takes a lot of guts, too, to be a writer.” we Yes, itstakes a form-of guts to be # proletarian writer. Some of us have gone.keyond the-point where we feel it necessary to prove to every- ' body that wechave guts:or that we have a right to do literary work. As to cafeterias, you have just told us where miners spend their paydays, ‘ and'I can-onfy answer, Pat, if this is true, somebody ought to teach them to go to cafeterias instead. | As a matter of fact, there is a kind of cafeteria parasite who spoils ‘the scene: in New York, A great deal of foolish talk does go on in those places.. But -every large city has these social gathering places. I saw Communist--eafeterias in Berlin, Paris, London and Moscow. The Soviet workers eyen play chgss and checkers, and they certainly love to sit around and talk: Talk, comrade, whether you know it or not, is a kind of relaxed editation. But it should never be a substitute for ghia of course: No Apologies Needed Now as te poets and organizers. As I have said, some writers and artists Have made an adjustment to the” revolutionary movement. Artists like-Gropper or Jake Burck have long gotten over apologizing for the fact’ that they are artists. Their work is recognized by themselves and others as ‘another weapon in the struggle. achieved this’ self-understanding. In the main, however, the youngsters who have cultural leanings and are revolutionists suffer from a conscious- ness of guilt. It. is quite,in the American tradition. The Babbitts have always de- spised culture, and some of our proletarians take over this worst of com- mercial vices. ‘They think it is somehow manly to look down on an artist or writer. I can still remember the time when I was a boy and worked for the old Adams Express, All the drivers looked down on anybody who read books. You were a sissy if you read a book. For a revolutionary to feel that way about any of the arts or sciences means that he is not a leader of the masses, but is sunk in their most backward prejudices. It is not only a question of studying economics, Marx and Lenin, and forgetting the rest. If you study Marx and Lenin thoroughly you-are sure to be led on and on into at least an understand- ing of.the revolutionary importance of the cultural problems, Your feeling that organizers are more necessary than poets is quite natural, We are engaged in a great battle, and culture is generally one of the casualties of war. Yet even in wartime there is a psychological factor which ‘évéry general must reckon with. Tt is sai oe Morale: and’ tt is as hecessary as food to any army. ~Proletarian art is a means of lifting the morale of the working class. It is also » form of mass-education. The workers get tired of speeches after a while,;-as any organizer will testify. It is then that the prole- tarian artist steps in with his agit-prop troupe of players. It is then the proletarian poet chants or sings his songs; it is then ‘the artist makes his cartoons. [ ENIN, I think, said that the poems of Demian Bydeny were worth at least a machine-gun regiment to the Soviets. ~ Our whole conception of revolutionary tactics has broadened out since ‘ the Russian Revolution. We are beginning to understand what mass work is, Tt must the men, the women, the children. It must touch every side of the.emotional.and mental life of the worker—his hobbies, his health, his sport and esthetic desires. ij Comrade Pat, we have had many, many strikes led by Communists in this They have been won, and they have been lost, but only @ small. of new Communists were made in all this gigantic activ- ity of millions of workers. Why? The question has been asked again and again, and many answers. made. My own amateur guess is that nobody stopped. long-énough to teach the striking workers something about Com- —ee een ee but through the cultural work. ‘Soviet China, when in the field, always has a corps to each regiment.

Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union and Communist candidate for President of the Board of Alder- men in New York City. By PHILIP STERLING EN GOLD sat over his ever-present cup of coffee in a downtown rest- aurant. He was there by appoint- | ment, to tell the story of his life, by | request. But an inexperienced listener, |who was not familiar with the labor |movement since the end of the war, | would have been unable to tell where the story of Gold’s life left off and |where the history of the New York | post-war labor movement began. With | politely suppressed impatience he brushed aside questions about his per- sonal life to pursue his recollections {of the fight for a real furrier’s union, | When the World War ended, the workers who. were compelled to fight it returned to their homes on this side jthe, ocean to. find that they had }another war on their hands—a war for jobs and for decent wages. The S. P. and Racketeers mitted the Socialist Party to urge workers to kill each other in the} trenches also permitted it to share; control of the furrier’s union with a |clique of racketeering officials and | youtright gangsters, not be taken into confidence, the union leaders found it necessary to) |support a large corps of gangsters to| enforce their edicts inside of the or-| | ganization and out of it. After “Izzy” ‘Cohen, one of the Socialist founders of the union, was reproached for per- mitting such tactics, he declared at a | jrank and file of the membership could | a union without gangsters.” Elected to Joint Board Ben Gold, on the other hand, be- lieved that not only was it possible |it was possible and necessary to run the furriers union without crooked | officials as well. There were hundreds and later thousands of: furriers who believed. that same thing and they expressed this belief in 1919 by electing Ben Gold to the Joint Board of the International Fur Workers Union. A little later they, also elected Aaron Gross who was also active in fighting for rank and file control. All through 1919 the opposition to the Soeialist officials continued to grow. Ruddy cheeked, passionately militant Ben Gold, barely 21. years. old, was the leader. On their side, the Socialist officialdom of the union, had the strong arm corps and a treas-. ury of $250,000. From Operators Local 1, which elected Ben to the Joint Board, the opposition spread to Locals 5, 10 and 16. Attempt To Oust Gold Fails On one occasion, the officials of the Joint Board called amass meeting: at. which they hoped to crush the rising popnonton by the charge that Ben The political policies which per-| Because the union was run as a) private business concerning which the | public mass meetiMy, “You can’t run | to run a union without gangsters, but | and the others were Reds. The meet- ing was a boomerang. Gold and the | other opposition leaders were there overwhelming support of the meeting. ‘Gold was not then and is not now a member of the Communist Party. Ben Gold loses his shyness when he recalls these events. His soft voice seems to become a veil for the joy |he takes in battle and his friendly smile seems to sheath a spirit of steel. “Our struggles were resulting,” he will tell you, “in a rapid clarification of our economic demands, our poli- tical slant and consolidation of our fight against class collaboration poli- cies of the Socialists. Almost before we knew it, our opposition had erys- talized itself into a definite left wing. We knew what we wanted. Our de- termined opposition to gangsterism and to irresponsible handling of union funds without an accounting to the membership finally resulted among other victories, in Morris Kaufman's resigning from the presidency of the International, and the managership of the Joint Board. It is significant,” Gold continued, “that he is now man- ager of a fur bosses outfit, the Musk- rat Group Factors Association. Abe Beckerman and Sam Cohen, two of his henchmen who were forced out with him, were recently indicted for racketeering.” Officials Fight to Hold Control The officials, Gold recalls, resorted | to desperate-measures in 1920, to re- | oe BEN GOLD tain control of the union. Seeing their | P' grip slipping, they decided that a strike might turn the tide for them, If- it didn’t, they could, in any event, use the occasion for looting the $250,- 000 treasury. “Of course, the left wing supported the strike in the interests of solidar- ity,” said Gold. “Our left wing locals were placed in charge of the toughest territories because the officidls hoped we would be smashed there, but we weren't. _ for the strike. 3 “Before the strike was very old, we began to learn that. not the mem- bership, but hired gangsters were running the show.

Algus, says Gold, was elected as one of the dele- gates from Local 1 to the convention | of the International in May, 1922, | contested by the right wing. “After that meeting,” Gold. de- clated,- “someone handed. Jack a drink. Jack took it and died the same evening. We've never been able to prove anything, of course, but I'm convinced and so are others were present, that Jack Algus was poisoned.” Expelled From Union In 1923, the left wing furriers gained’ new strength frorn the organ- | ization of the Trade Union Educa- tional League: The league was soon branded as a Communist organiza- tion by the furrier officials. They used | |Gold’s affiliation with ‘the league as | jan excuse, long sought, for expelling him from the union, That, of course, work with those who xemained on the inside. “Two years later, the determined ef- [forts of the left wing, backed by | growing numbers of furriers, resulted in the election of Gold. as manager of the Joint Board. New Victories Gold’s eyes sparkle with unsophis- ticated enthusiasm when he talks of this period. “Our victory in the Joint Board was followed in 1925 by a wave of strikes—successful strikes. Under the leadership of the left wing we unionized opén shops, we organized the Greek section of the industry in which there had never been a union before, we forced Kaufman out of office. We gained leadership of the Joint Board and we were going ahead to. 100 per cent unionization.” The Mineola Frame-Ups But the furriers had the ‘successors of Kaufman in the International to deal with. These were as anxious as Kaufman to keep rank and file hands off the union controis. The New York Joint Board, however, went ahead with the historic strike of 12,000 fur- riers, which established the left wing not only in the furriers’ union but in the American trade union movement, The strike resulted, however, in the expulsion of the entite Joint Board and tRe left wing locals from the International. The treachery of the Socialist leadership and: their anxi- ety to co-operate with the bosses in crushing the left wing also became evident in this strike, when the Jew- "|ish Daily Forward and the Socialist leaders engineered the frame-up of ;|Gold and other strike ‘leaders on charges of felonious ‘assault in Min- eola, L, I. It took the workers in the entire industry two years to recover from this blow, for the expulsion was fol- lowed by a weakening of the New York locals and the International.

By 1929, the left wing elements had been driven from dozens of unions the country over by the same kind of | trickefy and gangsterism employed against the furriers. The result was the formation of the Trade Union Unity League. Ben Gold assumed leadership of the Needle Trades | Workers’ Industrial Union and the left wing furriers finally found a solid footing from which to iba their battle for organization, During 1930 and 1931, Gold's friends | and associates became aware that the strain of ten years’ fighting with no time out between fights was begin- ning to tell on him. They urged him to take a lay-off. Ben scoffed until someone proposed that he visit the Soviet Union, not for a vacation but to study Socialism in the making. ‘That appeal to Ben and he went, He stayed there nine months, observing and studying, Early in 1932 he was) recalled by the furriers and got back into harness. He's still at it. His candidacy for president of the Board of Aldermen is only part of the load he is pulling. (THE END) by QUIRT. |.
