Hatha- e| way also outlined the tasks of the American Communist Party in at- taining the united front of all work- ers in solidarity with the Austrian proletariat and to combat the rising tide of fascism in America. “The Communists,” said Hatha~ way, “sincerely want the united front, intend to attain the united front, will fight for the united front, and will ‘win the united front.” Offer Platform to All Workers In opening the mass meeting, Jo- seph Brandt, chairman and section organizer of the Communist Party, said, “We want every worker present here tonight, and especially members of the Socialist Party, the Young Peo- ples Socialist League, and the A. F. of L. unions, to speak from this plat- form, to criticize, if they see fit, the position of the Communists, and to declare what they believe best to at- tain the unity of the American work-~ ing class in the fight against fas- cism.” Hathaway presented a_ brilliant analysis of the international aspects of fascism, quoting in his thesis from the Thirteenth Plenum of the Execu- tive Committee of the Communist In- ternational. “Fascism is the open, ter- vorist dictatorship of the most reac- tionary, most chauvinist and most im- Perialist elements of finance capital.’ “Why,” he said, “should I indict Otto Bauer, the militant, the ‘Leftist’ of the Second International, when by his own words and deeds he damns himself as the arch-enemy of the Au- Philadelphia, Pa.

He showed how these so- called leaders of the workers dis- armed the workers in their fight, and by open treachery, and in the name of bourgeois democracy, capitulated to Dollfuss. Linz Workers Joined with Com- munists “The first fighting,” Hathaway ex- Plained, “was in Linz, the industrial capital of Austria. Here the Socialists had effected contact with the illegal Communist Party, had formed united fronts with the Communist Party, and had invited Communists to speak from their platforms.” When the leaders of the Linz work- ers came to Bauer in Vienna and de- clared that an outbreak was immi- nent, Bauer advised them to ‘keep cool’ while the bloody fascism of Doll- fuss was preparing to take from them the last rights which had been left to them after the leaders of the Social- Democracy had continually capitu- lated to Dollfuss.” Hathaway ended with a ringing ap- peal for unity of all workers in the fight against fascism and in solidarity with the Austrian workers. Many Workers Speak As the meeting was thrown open for discussion, workers from A. F. of L. unions and former members of the So- cialist Party took the floor. A worker, member of the Pocketbook Makers A. F. of L. Union, appealed to the Com- munist Party to effect the unity of American workers. ¥.P.S.L. Members Join Y.C.L. Two members of the Young Peo- ples Socialist League, who were pres- ent at the meeting joined the Young Communist League, and eight work- ers applied for membership in the Communist Party. Few members of the Communist Party were present at the meeting, having previously heard Comrade Hathaway expound the Austrian situ- aton at other meetings. All their ef- forts had been directed in bringing trade union members, small business men, intellectuals and members of the Socialist Party and Young Peo- ples Socialist League to the meeting. Although all present paid admis- sion, in response to the appeal for a special editions devoted solely to the heroic struggles of the Austrian work- ers? Was it “filthy calumny and lies” that the Central Committee of the Communist Party issued, st the very moment that the news ume from Vienna, a statement hailing the glorious struggles of the Austrian workers for “raising high the banner of invincible class struggle on the bar- ricades”? Was it not the Socialist leader, Otto Bauer, who pleaded with the capitalist world in apology, that he | them “to be patient under the search for arms”? Were there any “filthy calumny and lies” to equal this out of the mouth there any “filthy calumny and lies” to equal the special pleading of the New Leader and Norman Thomas’ apologizing for the Austrian workers on the ground that they “had not provoked the battle”? The Central Committee of the Communist Party, the Daily Worker, the Pravda, leading, paper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the millions of workers from the biggest factories in the Soviet Union, sent their admiration and revolutionary greetings to the embat- tled Austrian workers ringing round the world. But the Socialist papers and lead- ers grovelled in apology for the armed struggles of the Vienna and Linz pro- letariat. Cie ce iS U. S. Socialist official talks of “calumny and lies.” Was there any filthy calumny and lie to equal the statement of his Social-Fascist colleague in Austria, Otto Bauer, who befouled the heroic struggles of the Austrian and Linz workers, whining in apology that his orders against their struggle “had arrived too late”! HAT WAS it that stung the So- cialist officia's of the American Socialist Party? It was the revela- tions in the Daily Worker that Otto Bauer had only taken the roail upon which the American Socialist leaders are now striving to lead the American working class. It was be- cause the Daily Worker persistently reminded the American working class that it was the Socialist lead- ers of Germany who paved the way for Hitler by supporting Von Hin- denburg, that it was the Socialist leaders of Austria who paved the way for Fascism in Austria by sup- vorting Dollfuss, and that the Nor- man Thomases and Seniors in America are paving the way for American’ Fascism by supporting the Wolls, the Greens, the Roose- velts as the “fighters against Fas- collection to carry on the work of the mission 10c.

The pre-convention dis- cussion must help solve the problem of drawing in the mass-organizations, and through them the masses of for- eign born workers, into the struggles led by our Party—thus putting an end to language sectarianism and remnatns of federationism which characterizes our work in this field. How to put an end to this situa- Pre-Convention Discussion of C. P. Work of the Foreign Language Sections of the Party amination of the work of our frac- tions in the Hungarian mass organi- zations will help us to some extent. Fight Language Sectarianism While the foreign born masses have been considerably radicalized as a re- sult of the crisis, with many of the so-called backward workers partici- pating in strikes and unemployed struggles and joining unions and Un- employed Councils—without the as- sistance or even knowledge of the old- time revolutionaries—the life of our mass organizations is in the main in the old grove. Club patriotism, social, educational and dramatic activities, affairs for the language press, formal participation in the activities of the Party, with a sharp differentiation between “our people” and “theirs,” all limited to @ narrow circle of so-valled revolu-| eral. tionary workers without making ef- forts to involve new workers and driv- ing most of the new members away with the non-political, sectarian and burocratic practices. There are ex- ceptions, but these exceptions even more sharply bring to light these common practices. As the first step to change the sit- uation, a thorough ideological cam- paign is necessary, which must go back as far as the 4th National Con- vention resolution putting an end to the language federations, laying of course, the main stress upon the Open Letter and the Thesis of the 13th ieee Plenum. The campaign in articles appearing the Daily Worker, but dealing with concrete experiences, must be linked up with a thorough dis- cussion in the organizations. Fifteen conferences held last September, in- volving about 800 actives from the mass organizations ,helped consider~ ably in the Hungarian field. At these conferences, minimum tasks were adopted on the basis of concentration, with organizational steps to guaran- tee their execution. The reports sub- mitted to the National Fraction Con- ference on Dec. 2 and those com- ing in since bear out the correctness of the line. Orientation Towards the Shop They bring out first, the closest re- lation between the so-called language work and the class struggle in gen- orientation towards the union and unemployed work, we can break into the toughest terri- tories. The success in the I.W.O. re- cruiting drive in Duquesne, Hazel- wood, Homestead, and other steel cen- ters in the Pittsburgh district was due to our concentrating upon new ele- ments, who were reached and for a while, organ’ fi by the SMW.L.U. In Hazelwood, we won over many Hungarian workers with the help of the Unemployed Council — led by Irish-American workers who have been distributing the Uj Elore to the Hungarian contacts, while we tried to organize the old fossil-club-elements with the old of work. have @ narrow foothold among the 80,000 Hungarian workers, without any definite objec- tive on how to break through our isolation, The last decision of the District Fraction Buro to concentrate on the 2,000 registered Hungarian members of the revolutionary unions (meedle, shoe, furniture, and metal) and these under the leadership of the ing fruit. The campaign to build the Uj Elore circulation, the I.W.O. and workers club will be based primarily upon these workers, the majority of whom are still reading the fascist press. The beginning in organizing @ Hungarian Furriers local (through which we will recruit new members for the union) show this is a correct line which must be followed up, Many more examples prove how the mere “cashing in” on the recruits of the struggles led by our Party can bring in new blood into our language work and further develop the strug- gle (one of our I.W.O. branches in a steel town where the S.M.W.LU. has been driven underground is holding one monthly mesting devoted to the the discussion of the union problems). Similar examples could be brought forward regarding industrial towns around Youngstown (Sharpsville, Campbell), Kenmore, Ohio and Eliza- beth, N.
