DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1938 WORLD! ——= ‘By Michael Gold Death of a White Collar Worker JURSUING the theme-of yesterday, this whole problem of the relation hetweerthe revolutionary movement and the so-called intellectuals (or let's say, white collar‘ workers), I am leading off with a most unusual letter fromm a comradéwho knew T. E. Barlow, the Communist leader who was lynched recently by the four Nazi-Klu Kluxers in Fort Worth, ‘Texas. This letter comes from Comrade A. W. Berry of Kansas City, Kans., and he gaysz- nets “Tn May;!1932, during the preparations for the National Nominating Conventi oh of the-Cotnmunist Party, Comrade Barlow was considered a good syiipathizer ofthe Party, but too much of a ‘softie’ to join the ranks of the ‘hardboiled.’ “The Party comrades in Houston, where Barlow first contacted thé Party, thought that because he still had traces of religion and had attended some sort of medical college, that he would not fit it. He was also a clerical. worker (bah!). “I remember that, during the preparations for the Texas delegation, Barlow was a tireless.worker. At the conference where the delegates were elected he was unanimously chosen to go to Chicago. We had to make the trip in a delivery *truck;: 14 delegates in all. Because of his office employ- ment Barlow was not’able to stand the hardship of the trip. Inhaling the exhaust futiés day after day gave him bad headaches, We had to stop often to let him re-arrange his position, All the comrades thought he would never maka a ,g00d Communist Party member. (And, by the way, travelling some 3,000. miles in a truck crowded with luggage and people, is no joke.) Most of us had been manual workers, or had been trained to such hardship by Jere membership in the Party and revolutionary move- ment. “But by*the time the delegation came back from the Conyention the now histori¢ 14th Plenum Resolution had sunk home to some of the com- redes in Houston. Barlow was admitted to the Party despite his ‘softness’ and lack of ability-to“take it.’ He now became an organizer of the unem- ployed, organizing’ a“nmumber of committees in the Negro section, leading them to the relief ‘station and getting relief. Later he became candidate for Congress in the..special elections. Although there were a number of political mistakes made.in the campaign, it served to bring some of the views of the C. P. before a large section of the Houston population, He became organizer ofthe Party in Houston. “Going t6 Fort:Werth in the early spring of this year, his native ability for-Wifining thé @bnfidence of workers, together with his knowledge of revolutionary tactics gained during the past year, enabled Barlow to ex- pose the legdershtp ‘ofthe Socialist Party local there and start the rank and file 6m fhe road to.revolutionary activity. “By the first of y, this year, all except one member of the local had turned in-their Soc! cards and applied for membership in the Com- munist Party. At about the same time, Barlow was at the head of a mass eviction struggle, was ayrested and kept in solitary for days. The follow- up of his work on his return after a tour of other Texas cities caused him to be arrested and murdered. His death has stirred many sections of the Texas toilers to action, And this, briefly, is the story of one so-called ‘in- tellectual softie’ whom sectarianism had tried to keep out of the Party and revolutionary activity. “I am sure that around many sections there are others, equal to, or potentially greater, than this revolutionary hero of the Texas masses who was once dubbed ‘softle!.” Theme for a Proletarian Novel iF SOMEONE could write, simply and with psychological insight, the life of T. E, Barlow, he. would be writing one of the important documents of our time. For the martyred ‘TE. Barlow is « type hitherto little known in Amer- ica, but destined to be a hero of our time—the Proletarian Intellectual, ‘There will be-more-and more Barlows, coming from the mines and steel mills, the office stools and draughting rooms. The prejudice-Comrade Berry points out, is, I believe, a temporary one. Too many intellectuals have flitted in and out of the movement and given this group, & bad namé; But the matter has passed now onto a more im- mense planer The Yacillating temperament of the bourgeois individualist is swamped teday in the great permanent need of a disinherited class. The lower middie. ¢lass is bankrupt—the farmers,-small home-owners, students, 7 -professional-people. It is they, in the person of such “clerks” and “religious ‘myedical- stttients” like T. E. Barlow, who now approach the Tevolutionary movemerit—feelers cast out in the dark toward the great historic alliance of-all°the oppressed groups in America behind the leader- ship of the Tevolution&fy workers in the basic industries for the final over- throw of. cgpitalism. It has ‘always peer too easy to sneer and repel this great mass and its representatives—it will prove more difficult to learn how to win them. This is the. -Feservoir, from which finance-capital-draws its man-power for Fascism; Zo. abandon this class to such a fate doesn’t seem to me the height of palitical wisdom. * ove of. the. basic dangers has been that these intellectuals come into the movenient-bringing:a ‘great deal of worthless bourgeois baggage in their minds, and trying ‘sell this junk to the movement, hey sometimes deriand positions of leadership, and try to revise and the proletarian character of the Communist movement, It is true, in many.fespects, that the intellectual in America has been trained in ail the rotten habits of bourgeois individualism. One of the most amazing sights tome has been to watch some of the recent recruits to Marxism-—avound -New—York. Their progress is sometimes as rapid and humorous as that of an old Keystone comedy, On Maj i they, suddenly discover the proletarian revoiution. It had been present in the world for over 60 years, but the boys shout and whoop as if they weve the original Columbuses. By August they “have gone through quite a “revolutionary” career. ‘They haveylectured ‘and. written articles, and made some first-hand con- tacts as members of Yarlous committees. They have also attended a few banquets. x By Chris Sepipre begun to realize that the movement, is a hard and bitter thing, and one that offers no soft berths to any single person. By New Year's they have discovered that “Communists make serious mistakes,” and that “Lenin and Stalin aren’t the best of Marxists”—all 'd really, never heard of John Dewey. By the-next May.Day these heroes have become completely digillu- sioned, Now-they havea whole new program for Communism; and they share the: “betrayed” feelings of a Trotzky. Really;- it is no-wonder intellectuals get a bad name. The worker earns his. mmunism z ind the right to make mistakes by hard and dan- gerous experience, Do these intellectuals really EARN their right to criti- cize? They know nothing, actually nothing, of the revolutionary practice. Tt is all in their heads. But what a mistake to judge a great historic group by a few such representatives. T. E. Barlow comes from the same group these Pesele, and-that should always be remembered, too. as i. fieving thé ‘Daily: Worker, steam Michael Gold THE Sarge VIBIT BY CITY OPFITIALS Wrto ARE TRYING TO KEEP TAR PRAME-UP OUT OF COURT BECAUSE THRY ARE AFRAID THE ILS.

The story, though not de- tailed, is given in all its essen- tials and with that uncon- scious realism (and dullness) which has long distinguished the Congres- sional Record. The exact date was June 6, 1932. The scene was laid in the tobacco- laden atmosphere of the House of Representatives, during the 72d Con- gress, first session. Congressmen were rambling about the place. Some of them were reading newspapers, others were engaged in conversa- tions, as the Clerk of the House was droning out the numbers and de- scriptions of the bills on the calen- dar “A bill to amend. . . a bill to authorize the appropriation ...a bill’... The elock over the rostrum of Speaker Rainey (Dem.) of Illinois ticked away as the clerk’s voice con- tinued his parliamentary lullaby. Gird for Action The House had met bright and early—12 o’clock noon. The Chaplain, Rev. James Shera Montgomery, D.D., | had offered the following prayer, as | reported in the “Congressional Rec- ord.” | “Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee, we praise Thee that the sweet- est word that ever sprang out of heaven is love. When the old earth is moved and the heavens tremble; when the sun and the moon are | darkened and the stars withdraw | their radiance, love shall live, for | Thou art love. Behind every floating | cloud it abides, We are grateful that | there is. no dislocation in Thy sov- ereignty and no interruption in the divine order. Inspire us this day with enlarged opportunities, with expand- ing powers that we may understand completely our whole duty to our country. | * Wiese Journal of the proceedings of the previous Saturday was read | and approved. The statesmen then | considered various bills including ELR. 8576, “to regulate the manufac- ture and sale of stamped envelopes”; it gave its attention to a bill to erect a bridge across the Ohio River at Owensboro, Ky. Much more time was spent on these bills, which inyolve graft for public officials and favored contrac- tors, than on the Dies bill, which would affect the lives of countless workers. “Mr. Speaker!” It was Mr. Samuel Dickstein of New York. He was promptly recog- | nized by the chair. | “Mr, Speaker, I move to suspend | the rules and pass the bill (H.R. | 12044) to provide for the exclusion . 8 Stage and Screen New Soviet Film “Three Thieves” Coming to Acme Theatre Thursday “Three Thieves,” 8 new Soviet film, | will have its first American showing Jat the Acme Theatre this Thursday. | This picture, which is being released by Amkiyo, was made in the U.S.S.R. by Mejrabpomfilm. “Three Thieves” is a satire on pres- ent-day institutions, morals and men in their scramble for money. It deals with Jerry Diddles, a despised, hound- ed sneak thief who is hailed as a master mind and financial genius when it is thought that he got away | with the three-million dollar robbery. J, A. Protozanov is responsible for the scenario and direction, The cast is of the usual high standard of Soviet films and includes B. Ilinsky, A. Ktorov, A.

The Clerk read as follows: Be it enacted, etc,, That subdivision (a) of section 1 of the act of October 16, 1918, as amended by the act of June 5, 1920 which (U.S. C., title 8, sec. 137), is amended to read as follows: “(a) Aliens who are anarchists Sve. 2.

I will answer the gentleman by saying that I have given some study to that problem along with the | Congressman Dickstein’s wholehearted support of the Dies Bill was demonstrated when he approvingly called attention to various features of the measure, and expulsion of alien Commu- nists.” The bill was read; there was ec | discussion, four or five congressmen | participating, including Hamilton Fish, Jr., notorious red-baiter, New York tenement-house owner and chairman of the so-called committee | to “investigate” Communism, which made recommendations similar to those contained in the Dies bili. Congressman Jenkins (Rep.), Ohio, then rose to declare sententiously that Mr, Bachmann (Dem.) of West Virginia was absolutely correct and that “the bill should pass, for it is demanded by a patriotic public. Those | who, like a Mr. Dunn* adhere to Russia rather than to America in case of war, should not complain at our seeking to protect ourselves from their doctrines.” ‘The speaker then put the question on the Dies Bill. I quote from the Congressional Record: The Speaker: “The question is on the suspension of the rules and the passage of the bill.” The Record then reports that: “The question was taken; and ~two-thirds having voted in favor thereof, the rules were suspended | and the bill was passed.” “Without a record vote, and with only a handful of the membership present,” reported the Washington Bureau of the Federated Press the following day, “the House approved the Fish-Dies bill for exclusion and deportation of alien Communists,” No roll call was taken since there was Clearly no sharp division on the bill, and so, of course, Congressman Dickstein didn’t vote on the Dies bill. But did he oppose the bill? Did he | the most compelling manner his com- | real alien communists who I call the gentleman's eeirg against it on the floor? R. DICKSTEIN ‘aid not oppose the bill, He did not speak against it. When, as chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, he moved “to suspend the rules and pass the bill” he demonstrated in plete approval of the bill. A complete united front was ef- | fected in order to push the bill! through. Dickstein yielded his time to political “opponents” in order to} enable them to speak for the bill. Chief among these was Hamilton Fish, After Dickstein had yielded “three | minutes to the gentleman from New| York,” Fish rose and said: “I congratulate the gentleman from Texas (Dies) and his com- mittee for bringing in legislation of this kind. These alien Commu- nists do not fear our police, our courts, or our jails. The only thing they fear is to be deported back home. .. . I hope the members of this House will be afforded a chance to go on record im favor of this legislation, so that they can go back home and tell the people of their districts that they took the first opportunity to vote to get rid bs the alien Communists in the . 8.” Unfortunately, Fish did not get the chance to go on record, nor, .appar-| ently, did Congressman Dickstein. The latter, elected from a congested tenement district, was evidently not 80 eager to go on record.
