Ard They Wonder Why There Are | Reds! Another of those newspaper clip- pings that were sent me tells about the case of Reba Waxman, a young ‘mother of 20, who abandoned her son in Brooklyn Family Court; the baby was already undernourished and the mother had no food what- goever. The report on this case took the line that a great favor had been done this woman because Magistrate Haubert freed her of the abandon- ment charge. In other words, under this cock- eyed system it is a crime to leave your baby somewhere in the hope that someone will feed it, but no erime to take it home and let it starve to death. I believe I got red myself (although I had not yet found my way to the Third International) in Cleveland sbout four years ago, when I read in the papers that a mother of ten children, a widow who tried to sup- port them by selling newspapers. shot seven of the children and he:self.

WISHLANDS IRON £ steel co (By a Worker Corespondent) TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — The bosses at the rolling mill of the Highlands Iron & Steel Co. here were caught completely off guard a few nights ago by the unex- pected decisive action of the workers, Orders were issued just before quitting time for all employes to remain on the job to run an extra heat, a requirement that would have necessitated violation of the working hours limitation of the Roosevelt-Morgan steel code. Im~ mediately upon receipt of this order the workers issued instruc- tions of their own, countermand- ing the first order. At the con- clusion of the eight hour shift he workers threw down their tools and marched out. They returned to work the fol- lowing night to find all such future orders had been rescinded. With the first of this week all de- partments were reduced to half time. LLA. Fund: ‘Drive, $12, 000 Behind; : Rush Tag Day Funds at Once!

J.—Despite the N. R. A,, We employes of the Victor R. C. A. radio company are s¥Il being made the victims of all kinds of boss trickery, designed to lower our pay and to further enslave us. ‘The workers, for example, are forced to cooperate with time setters, men who determine the minimum speed rate for all assembling jobs. The time setters at regular periods in- form each worker to pay strict at- tention to his work and to perform his assembling operation at his nor- mal speed. But the workers know that their being too slow when timed leads indirectly to dismissal, and to they work at a speed faster than can be possibly maintained. By means of some formula a mini- mum speed rate is established. This speed rate, wihch is supposed to make allowances for the inability of work- ers to slave without letting up at fre- quent intervals, also determines their bonus. The workers labor at top speed in order to supplement their small pay |with the extra money their bonus brings them. But they are fortunately waking up at last to the fact that the bonus which is paid for exceeding \their minimum production quota is becoming smaller and smaller when earned, and that it is only being used as a substitute for an outright speed- up system. ‘The Victor officials have solved in “heir own way the discontent pro- voked by low wages. It is required of most employes, especially the low- est paid ones, to work overtime on Saturdays and even on Sundays, which pays them time and a half. This not only quiets the workers, in- sofar as wages are concerned, but it also enables the company to avoid employing more help.

J. Gary, Indiana Under the heading “Main Link the Open Leter states: in Execution of the Correct Policy “Every Party member must now understand that it depends o correct policy and above all the execution of the correct policy whetha we will be able to mobilize the masses of workers for struggle and whethe our Party, in this historically favor- ¢———_——— ~ | is not correct either. Some may able situation will become the de- cisive mass Party of the American Proletariat, or whether the bour- geoisie with the help of its sical fascist and fascist agents will suc~ ceed in disorgaizing the mass move- ment and keeping it down.” Further along the Letter states: “It is time that the entire Party should understand that without a solid base among the decisive ele- ments of the American workers, tho. Party cannot lead the revolutionary struggles of the working class and free them from the influence of the social democrats and the bour- geoisie which still prevails among the decisive elements of the work~- ing class, however favorable the conditions for our influence may be... .” Lower Units Unaware of Meaning of | Open Letter In connection with this problem of the American Party which the Open Letters deals with in these lines, I wish to show that the lower Party units at least in our Section are still not aware that the Open Letter ac- | tually means anything to them in the way they carry out their day to day work. I believe that the following incident j proves either that the Party members | in our unit have not read the Open Letter at all or if they did read it, they did not understand it or else they openly defy the Party on the correctness of the policy of the Party as outlined in the Open Leiter.

Exposed In Cincinnati, Ohio, the Communist | Party expelled several pernicious enemies of the working class, against whom it wishes to warn all workers | and all working class organizations. SAMUEL F. BROWN, 224 W. 14th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, Jewish- American, 40 yrs. old, 5 ft. 8 in. tall, bald head, brown graying hair, front teeth widely set, who claims to have been @ real estate man and to have lost his fortunes in the 1929 crash, has been found out to be an agent ateur. ‘ HARRY BERG (ROSEN), formerly from West Orange, N. J.,26 years old, 5 ft, 2 in. in height, curly brown hair, dark face, flat nose, who talks with a Jewish accent and claims to be an engineer and a “hobo,” has been ex- posed as a close associate of the spy (Brown) and as a vicious disruptcr. ‘They have been seen having con- ferences with the City Manager Dyk- stra and with Hehler. They have been going around to the workers and sympathisers spreading vicious slan- ders against the section leadership of the Party. Brown took out a warrant for the arrest of Herman Pollack, leader of the Unemployed Council, the very day when the unemployed were to have a city-wide action to force the City officialdom to recognize their Council and other immediate de- mands. He went to the City Council and spoke against the Communist Party and against the Unemployed Councils, thus trying to help the city 60 officialdom to break up the organiza- tions of the workers and to them to starve. ‘With these two there were also ex~ velled Jenny Atkins, Georze Gunther, Fred Davis and Bessie Davis, who formed a factional grown around Brown and Berg, who peddled their slanders, and who refused to disso- ciate themselves from these two agents of the bosses, in spite of the appeals of the Section organization and of the District organization of the Party.

Comrade Editor: "| Eugene Debs said that if the capi- | talist class were to speak well of him ‘he would immediately investigate | himself to see what was wrong with | him, |_ At the Baptist Church in Terre | Haute the Socialists honored Debs in | Memorial program. Rev. George E. Francis read a po Rey. Fisher | acted as chairman, and the inyoca- | tion was given by Rev. A. J. Esperson. |Thus were the crocodile tears in a flow of demogagy bestowed upon the man who said, “I am a Bolshevik from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet.” If these Socialist leaders were sin- cere, they could not honor one Bol- | shevik—though he be dead—and sup- Port the system which clubs and jails others. And the straw that breaks the camel’s back is when the editor of the “Tribune” says, some of his (Debs) “most expansive dreams have come into operation.” j The editor says: “It is no conces- sion to anything to admit that if Gene Debs were to return to earth today, he would find things in a vastly changed order. Kings have fled their thrones, commoners fill the cabinets and chancellories, women have come into the cabinets, govern- ments have taken over control of in- dustry, and some of his most expan- sive dreams have come into operation. In fact liberalism has come so fast, that Gene Debs would find it diffi- cult to keep up with events.” We workers must. not think for one minute these misleaders do not know Debs was for the overthrow of the capitalist system. If Debs werp alive, they would condemn him just as they do any other Bolshevik. And for the editor to say that “liberalism has come so fast, that Gene Debs would find it difficult to bay 7 with events,” is the worse sort of demagogy. Liberalism! For whom, Editor? Do you mean liberalism for the capitalist class through Fascism such as they have in Germany, and such as we are ever getting more of in the United States as Fascism over- takes us here? With such “liberal~ ism” Debs would find it difficult to was elected to arrange the affair. jat the affair and no efforts were mad: As part of the publicity for the affair | to make them feel that it was thet someone sent in an announcement of | affair and when I danced with then the affair to the DAILY WORKER /an actual feeling of hostility per- in the words: “Vetcherinka is being rranged by Untt 11 at 224 West 15th Street to 8: p. m. Excellent music, good eats. Admission ten cents.” | When I read this in the DAILY WORKER and although I belonzed to this unit, I was dumbfounded! I thought some mistake had been made and that some other organization had planned an affair on the same day we had arranged our affair, not knowing what “vetcherinka” might mean. At the following Party unit meet- ing when a report on the money made at this affair was made, I borught forward my ideas on this in- cident. I criticized this method of carrying on our work, saying that although this in itself is a small mat~- ter, and that possibly no great amount of money was lost and no great harm done this time—that put~ ting an announcement in the Daily Worker (an English paper) in the Russian language is a reflection of the whole attitude of our uni toward our work and an attitude which is exactly opposite to the spirit and meaning of the Open Letter. In all our agitation and propaganda we should keep in mind that we want to appeal to the native Americans as much as possible in order to wean them away from the capitalist poison which they are accustomed to swal- low. In order to do this we can only do this by using their own language. I believe that any affair given for the DAILY WORKER should not only be used as a means of raising funds, but all such sicial affairs should be utilized in reaching and holding workers as sympathizers and future Party members. These affairs can be the means of reaching some workers who can be reached no other way—but surely not in Russian or any other foreign language they don’t understand. However, when I brought out these things in the unit only one or two members could see that these tactics were wrong. In fact, one of the lead- ing comrades, attacked me quite het~ edly, stating that I was causing hard feelings, which again shows a lack of understanding on the necessity of self-criticism within the Party and shows also a tendency to take a per- sonal attitude toward criticism which |vaded the place. In fact I think } was the only white woman to dane: with the colored comrades. Suct ‘ty snobbery and sectarianism wil er get us to the destination we | have set ourselves. x Necessary to Change Approach | For the benefit of those comrades in the Party and sympathetic organ< izations who..were pioneers in the movement in this country, although foreign born, and who suffered dis< crimination at the hands of the bosses and who sacrificed much in the struggle, I as a Party member like to say this: The class-conscious native-born Americans appreciate fully what an important role you have played in the working class movement and the such comrades for the sake of unity, for the sake of the rapid growth of the Party to change their approach towards the native-born Americans and to burn out with the severest self-criticism the idea that the Am~ erlcans are dumb, cowards, or that it is Impossible to overcome the capt talist poison which they have been 3 victim of, for many years. The recent Fargers’ Conference te Chicago proves conclusively that the Party is correct in saying that must root ourselves among |tive Americans and that it done. But it can’t be. done boring secret doubts and those doubts. If our Party is to become one any influence or force in A omcerd economics, in the actual life of workers, we must win the ‘Anerioan workers to our Party.
