The dairy boss just laughed. So the women organized— bombarded the dairy with telephone calls—and then sent up a larce dele- vation with signs to the dairy. They ‘nformed the Boss that they had a list of all his customers and that if this farmer was not put back on the list immediately that they would visit every customer to get a strong boycott and that they had their nosters ready to picket the dairy. This time he did not lauch. In fact he go a little shaky. He told them that the farmer’s milk would be nicked up the next morning! And ‘t was!

No address. Reviewed by GERTRUDE HAESSLER For several months the Steel and | Metal Workers Industrial Union has been issuing for the workers in the Navy Yards, a paper called the “Yard Worker.” It is issued from outside the yards and is building up union organization in the shop. There is a Communist Party unit in the shop, which is taking the lead in building up Union organization to fight for better working conditions. The unit, however, found that it was impossible through this Union paper to bring the broader political issues affecting the working class adequately before these workers. They therefore undertook to issue their ow. paper from the inside, in their own name— the Communist Party Unit in the Navy Yards. The Union leaders will soon find this paper one of the most powerful means for mol the workers for correct militant tactics in fight- ing the employers (in this the United States Government). And of course it will be the most ‘m- portant means a opening the eyes of the Navy Y¥: workers to class- consciousness, and rally them for the final aim of the Communist Party— the overthrow of the capitalist system, and the establishment of a Soviet America with all that this implies. But to become such an effective weapon to lead the workers in their economic struggles and their final political aims, the “Yard Voice” in its future issues, must st-ike a Detter balance. The first issue trie: to ac- complish this all-comprehensive task, but betrays a certain amount of in- experience. It tries to accomplish the whole Communist prosram at once, and giv the workrs too much to digest in one dose, The yard workers cre suffering from certain illusions which must be | shattered before they can understand and assimilate our program as a Practical program. One of these illu- sions is that you can’t fight the gov- ernment. Another is that intensified war preparations will be beneficial to them because they are in a war in- dustry. Now these are practical problems that must be met. But in all its political material—and there is great wealth of political material in this first issue—the pape: does not meet these two burning problems squarely. In fact the question of war analyzing the Roosevelt budget and in analyzitig the imminenze of war, In both of ‘these the first approach should have been this very natural desire of an unclass~conscious worker in the yards—an expanding arma- ments building program, in order to get more work, We must show them that the claim that war will bring Prosperity to the war-production workers is a myth, With all the in- creased activity in war production, there haye-been very few workers added to this production apparatus because of the speed-up and wages have been cut azain and again. Our fight must be a strong organization to fight speed-up and wage-cuts, The Anti-War Campaign ‘We will never rally these workers to an anti-war program by talking first to them about five years of crisis, and saying “our. bosses are looking hungrily to--war, to a new world Slaughter, as a:way out.” If you are to handle at all the questior of war as the capitalist way out of the crisis, it must be dore adequately, explaining how. the bosses find war the only -way out. You can take nothing for granted. When you tell them that. “war-is part of this sys- tem,” and ‘bring up such a class con- cept, you'must be ready to explain how it is part-of “this system,” and what “this system” is. You cannot take for granted that they even know there is a system, A Wrong Directive Then what is the paper telling these workers who are producing war armaments, to do in the anti-war struggles?’ The article says: “Our first method of fighting against the war makers is to demand the elimination of the 15 per cent cut. Our wages have been cut so that more money would be spent for war materials, instead of wages. By demanding that the huge war budget be turned over for unemployment insurance, we fight against war and struggle for insurance for the inevitable day when we are tossed aside like an empty can.” What are we doing here? We are telling the workers that if they get more of the war appropriations for their own pockets, then less will go for armaments, Is that what we tell the Brooklyn’ Navy Yard workers is their duty in helping to fight against war? This problem of drawing workers on war production into the anti-war campaign is not a simple one, and we must be very careful what kind of slogans we fling among them. The important thing, together with rousing their hatred against war, and together with developing their class solidarity, is to-show them that if we build up a strong organization in the plant, that in itself will help to Postpone war. For then the bour- is dealt with in two articles—in SHOP PAPER REVIEWS geoisie will know that it cannot rely | their cut on them during war time to manu- facture material with which to mangle and murder their class brothers. That ts the strategic step in any war munitions plant—strong organization. We must begin to prepare these strategic workers for our slogan of turning imperialist war into civil war. The way to prepare them is to avouse their class consciousness and their class loyalty. Building the Union One of the basic tasks of the “Yard Voice” is to help to build up an adequate fighting apparatus of the workers inside the Navy Yards to get better working conditions, The unit editing this paper, however, seems to regard the paper as a political sup- plement to the Union paper, without realizing that the Unit paper itself must be a Union organizer. The paper does not show the workers how to struggle for better conditions. It does not explain how to build up any Kind of shop organization. It does not mention the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union anywhere except to support its program on one issve—the restoration of the wage- cut, It outlines no program of im- mediate demands. It says nothing on how to build up opposition groups in the various A. F. of L. locals in the Yards, or how the members of these locals can fight the leadership of the Metal Trades Council, which has a strangle-hold on the organized work- ers there. It does not tell the un- organized workers how they can struggle. It doesn’t even mention the word “united front” under such a complicated organizational situation. It does not explain the role of the company union. Even in its intro- ductory article, telling what the Com- munist Party stands for, it says nothing about the Communist Party championing the workers in their day-to-day struggles. Basically what is the shortcoming of this paper? Th--:zh it is a shop paper, it does no! handle the problems of the shop adequately. It takes up only two shop problems—the restora- tion of the wage-cut and the status of the apprentices. The acticle analyzing the set-backs received in the struggle for the restoration of the wage-cut is good. It exposes the anti-employee, and pro-employer tactics of the Metal Trades Counril, and how it stifled the mass action of the yard workers, and how the A. F. of L, leadership as @ whole stifled the mass action of all federal employees. Here was a good chance to combat that illusion the workers have that you can’t fight the government, for actually the federal employees did fight the government and were partially successful, for they, including the Yard workers, are on their way to getting back part of Now the paper, aside from endors- ing the program of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, should have outlined concrete organi- zational proposals for the immediate future, to realize this program. This was overlooked. The C. P. cannot content itself with merely endorsing the program of another organization. It must lead the way in establishing machinery for realizing this program, The Problem of the Youth On the question of the apprentices, the paper shows its alertness on the question of the problems of youth in industry but only from the stand- point of the youth. It has fallen into certain dangers. Its formulations would tend to bring about a schicm between skilled and unskilled work- ers and thus play into the hands of the employers who constontly use this method of splitting the ranks of the working class, The question of apprentices supp'anting mechanics at apprentice weaves, is handled only from the point of of the apnren- {ices, and the problem created for the mechanics is ignored. Still they eall for support from the other workers in the yard for their demands without showing those workers why this act of solidarity is necessary, and without showing any sympathetic undorstanding of the problems of |the adult and experienced workers. Worker Correspondence How about the other departments? We have contacts in quite a number of other departments, but one could never guess it from the paper. And there is only’ one letter from a worker. This is perhaps natural in a first issue, and the appeal for more in subsequent issues should bring re- sults,—at least we hope so in view of the fact that the paper gives no ad- dress. The paper is very attractive tech- nically, rotographed in a neat man- ner (with many typographical errors, however), and with good illustrations. The issuing of a Party paper in this very important war industries plant is an achievement toward put- ting into effect the Open Letter and the program of the 13th Plenum re- solution, Now, in future issues, the comrades should learn from this first experience not to handle too many political problems at once. No one expects you to hand out to these gram and all the Party campaigns in one issue. It is better at first to handle one or two political subjects only, but give them a clear, careful, elementary analysis, linked up as closely as possible with the conditions in the yards. And don’t forget that in addition to being Party organizers, you are also Union organizers.. The Party unit in the shop is the fraction of the union in the shop—the class-consvious Union organizers in the shop. If the unit becomes more sensitive to its task of building up Union organiza- tion in the shop, and the clear con- crete handling of the immediate day- to-day problems of the yard workers, it will become the leader that any Party organ should be anywhere, and especially in such a strategic shop. Reach the workers with your political program through their immediate interests. Keep your high political level, but reach the Workers by build- ing the highway to them—the Union. PARTY LIFE | United Front Must Be With Workers to Be Effective New Bedford Experience Proves the Correctness of United Front from Below Navy Yard workers the entire pro-| Some Experiences in United Front Tactics in New Bedford As a tactic of involving the Portu- guese workers in political struggles, the New Bedford Party unit decided |to organize a united front mass movement to be directed against General Carmona’s -dictatorship in Portugual and link it up with the | general anti-fascist movement in the | United States, against the N.R.A., |etc. It was decided to call a city- | wide conference of all Poz'uzuese or- |ganizations and clubs in the city. | This conference aimed to establish a | Permanent committee for the con- | tinuation of its work. | While in the main our line was |correct, the unit was too weak to jcarry it ou‘, having only, at that | time, two Party members among the | Portuguese. But outside of the Party we hes - toma monn n* Portugese vorkers who are sympathizers and some of whom are members of the NTWU. The proposal’ was put up to them and these workers eagerly took to the idea of the united front, but they failed to understand the Party line for the organization of the united froré. The Party line meant hard and serious work. These work- ers decided to make a short cut. Why go down to ‘he masses to form a united front when this can be done easier from the ton? So they went cut and resurrected the anarchists who are a very small group with no organization and with no influence among the workers. They also go’ a couple of “radical democrats” and one or two free thinkers. These ele- ments were called into a meeting and it was decided among them to form a united front club which they called the “Liberal Alliance.” They established club rooms and adopted @ unanimous constitution. This constitution called for the establishment of an executive com- mittee of eight, two representatives from each political viewpoint, with all power vested in the hands of this committee. This gave the control of the organization of some 60 mem- bers, 90 per cent of them sympathe- tic to the Party, into the hands of |the anarchists who, from the very | beginning formed a clique against the majority of ‘workers in the club, represeted by the two of the Come | munist viewpoint on this committee, of only one was a Party mem- ber. | AM attempts on the part of the |unit to straighten out this jumble | provéd of no avail. These workers ' who styled themselves as Communists | before the workers refused even to accept friendly advice from the Party. . But they were finally con- | vinced of the correctness of the Party | advice when the anarchists together | with the other ‘liberal” elements on | the executive committee took over | the funds that were being raised for |a@ joint paper and issued their own paper. When eur sympathizers woke up to these happenings and finally decided to take steps to change the | constitution so that control of the | club would rest in the rank and file, | the anarchists withdrew from the |club with all funds of the club, one of them being the treasurer. As a result of this cleansing of the club it has grown in membership, but so far its only activities are so- cial. .The Party must use its influ. ence to see that the club draws up @ program of mass activities to carry ert the ovitive™ line of the Perty, The club should-now take the initia tive to organize a city-wide confer- | ence on. the question of fascist dice | tatorship in Portugual. It should bee gin the organization of mass educae tional meetings, raising the issue of mass ‘support t6 the revolutionary movement in Portugual and s‘rugegle against General Carmona’s agents ‘in the United States.
