| \ f i | ‘ i } a] | 2 DATLY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1934 Page Mane CHANGE ——THE— WORLD! y SENDER GARLIN j= in Girard, Kansas, there is an imaginative business man by the name of E. Haldemann-Julius. Years ago, | under the name of Emanuel Julius he was a reporter for the old Socialist New York “Call.” Ambition stirred in his breast, and remembering the words of Horace Greeley, he went West. Stopping in Girard, he got himself.a job with the Appeal to Reason, a paper which once had a large circula- tion because—in spite of the fact that Debs was one of its contributors— it based itself largely on reformistic “muckraking” issues. Later Mr. Julius won the hand of the daughter of Mr. Haldermann, one of the town’s influential citizens, and il a knightly gesture, became Mr. Haldermann-Julius. A short time afterward he took over the Appeal to Reason, bought himself an interest in a mail-order business, and started on his tempestuous career as an Impressario of the World’s | Finest Literature in Little Blue Books at 5c Each. | Although the list of titles included such master-works as “The Science of Hypnotism,” “Prostitution in the Middle Ages,” as well as “The Art of Kissing,” by the socialist versifier, Clement Wood, it also made available a large number of literary classics. Mr, Haldemann- | Julius cannot, however, be held responsible for this, inasmuch as re- prints of the works of dead authors freed him from the necessity of paying royalties to Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Daudet, George Sand, and others. They Changed Their “Appeal” | poaeested the war Haldemann-Julius and his associate, Louis Kopelin, ‘decided to change the name of the Appeal to Reason to “The New Appeal” in line with the mood of John Spargo, William English Walling and the other pro-war leaders in the Socialist Party. The circulation slumped, but Mr. Burleson, the bouroon Postmaster-General, appointed by Woodrow Wilson, saw the point and did not take the paper’s mail- ing rights away. What is more, the government officials were practical enough to understand that Mr, Haldemann-Julius and his partner could serve “their country” much better by purveying “New Appeal” with its propaganda in support of the war, than by holding down jobs in the Military Intelligence Division like some of their “socialist” friends—like Mr. Walter Lippmann, for example. (Lippmann had been a “red hot” Socialist, was even secretary for a time to George R. Lunn, who was Socialist Mayor of Schenectady and later, as a Democrat, got himself a $15,000-a-year job as Public Service Commissioner under Governor Al Smith!) 0 NE of Mr. Haldemann-Julius” activities right now is editing a sheet called “The American Freeman.” Unfortunately, many genuinely militant workers and farmers—particularly in the West—still subscribe to this paper because they are deceived by its fake, bombastic mfil- itancy. In a recent issue, in answer to a question from a reader, “What do you think about of the Communist daily, the Daily Worker?” the editor of the American Freeman concluded a paragraph of frenzy with the statement that “the Daily Worker is edited by a bunch of goofy-minded nuts.” Oh yeah? ‘You aren't sore, are you, Mr. Haldemann-Julius, that we exposed that dirty job of yours during the last presidential cam- paign, when you lifted Bill Foster's acceptance speech in féto, changed the word Communist to Socialist, and palmed it off as an original editorial contribution of “The American Freeman?” . . . * About Jews—and R. H. Macy LARENCE HATHAWAY, editor of the Daily Worker, got a letter the other day complaining about me. The letter, which was signed “a Jewish Comrade,” said: “While reading the Daily Worker on Thursday, March 8, I noticed that Sender Garlin in his column makes a remark pertaining to Macy’s department story, namely, ‘R. H. Macy is owned by the wealthy Straus femily, who are Jews.’ I don’t believe that the fact of being a Jew or gentile needed to be mentioned, since I never noticed that when talking of Morgan or Raskob, there was any mention of their being Protestant or Catholic, respectively. I’m afraid this might be misinterpreted by other comrades, thinking that Hitler’s theory is right, in that all the Jews are capitalists. “In my opinion capital has no religion, nationality or country. Therefore race or religion should never be mentioned when it comes to capitalists or to proletarians. “Not long ago, I read in the Daily Worker that a colored or a Greek comrade protested to Comrade Michael Gold, when he made a statement concerning their race or nationality. I think the Daily Worker should be more careful in the future, because a capitalist is still a capitalist, regardless of race or creed, and likewise is a pro- letarian.” . . ~ BIRST, let it be clear that what I wrote was not “R. H. Macy is owned by the wealthy Straus family, who are Jews.” I said, “Now it so happens that the R. H. Macy Company is owned by the wealthy Jewish Straus family’—somewhat different, don’t you think? Moreover, the point made—perhaps not sufficiently emphatically— was that profits always comes first with the bourgeoisie. In brief, the purpose of recording the nationality of the owners of the R.-H. Macy Company was most emphatically not to give support to anti-Semitism (the writer of the letter would hardly accuse us of .. that!) but rather to point out that the big capitalists seldom raise the race issue.when they're engaged in the joint activity of exploiting workers of all races, creeds and nationalities. Many of those who talk so feelingly about the fate of the Jews in Nazi Germany (speakers at the recent “protest” meeting in Madison Square Garden, for example), are tied by a thousand threads to big American banks which, through their loans, support Hitlerism and its — terrorism. 2 The Chase National Bank, for example, still has $70,000,000 in- vested in the Hitler murder government. The wealthy Jewish bankers of Speyer & Company, as well as the Warburgs, who control the Bank of Manhattan, recently participated in the floating of a loan to Nazi Germany. Now, comrade, when a capitalist newspaper emphasizes the fact that a Negro in the South is “suspected” of a crime, it does so with the conscious purpose of inciting lynch-hatred against the Negro. ‘When we Communists emphasize the fact that Jews aid the murderous Nazis, we do so to show the extreme solidarity of the members of the capitalist class. Jews With Money ‘OME impressive testimony in this connection is fouhd in the “Rund- schau Nachrichten-Agentur,” the Information Bulletin of the illegal * German Communist Party, published in Zurich, which makes public the significant news that: “20 JEWISH BANKS WATCH OVER PRUSSIAN STATE FINANCES _ “BERLIN.—Today all the leading newspapers publish an official * notice on the exchange and sale of the new Prussian state bonds. The _ notice is headed with the Prussian eagle, which has been decorated by Goering by a swastika on its breast.

The peddlers are busy: Messrs Muste, Budenz and Harvey Fire- stone’s new recruit to this “Com- munism,”— Mr, George Schuyler— are crying the virtues of —not a “nathional socijalism,” but a the ultra-modernity of it, Mr. Goebbels!) In Mr. V, F. Calver- ton’s fence for stolen literary works (and for anything else at a price), the dull ass Eastman sells second- hand phonograph records from the estates of Dr. Duehring and Eduard Bernstein, on the “unscientific character of Hegelian Marxism” and the song-book of the “true Lenin- ism” {that calls for war against Marxism and against the Commun- ist parties of the world, and gives the ultra social fascist justification for war against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Eastman’s solemn chant that Lenin “ignored” in his “practice” the dialectical materialism of Marx in which he “formally believed,” should read Eastman on Lenin in- stead of Lenin on Marx; and who does not know that in 30 volumes Lenin in practice and with full ex- planation made use of the Marxian dialectical method, writing one whole classic volume on precisely the subject approached exactly from the point of view that Eastman says Lenin “ignored”—and attacking pre- cisely such asses as Eastman. * . * Be even in some places where the scientific character of Marx is “acknowledged,” there has been an attack in other forms. Of an alleged “ponderousness,” “unreadableness,” “longwindedness” | of Marx (more particularly of Marx’s “Capital”) it has been the fashion talk in the Socialist Party since the day of its birth; it might be called a fashion that partly con- ditioned the embryo of that party. This legend of the “unreadableness” of Marx was one of the petty forms through which reformism made war on Marxism in America, The mat- ter is particularly important today when so many sincere socialist workers are turning with disgust from the now more open frauds of the Socialist Party. Disgust with these frauds does not transform a long-misled socialist workers into a Communist, a pseudo-Marxist into @ Marxist; a whole transformation of his outlook is necessary. For this transformation one must turn to the works of Marx and Lenin. But before the “ponderous”| volumes of Marx stands the priest whose name is Thomas (who prob- ably neyer read a page of Marx), or it may be Father Oneal (who certainly never understood a page of it.) And the unread and seven- sealed “ponderous” volumes of Marx are supposed to contain some- | where in their “unreadable” and uncut pages the explanation of the mystery (if they could only be read:) of how Noske, Scheidemann and Wels, although they turned artillery on the Berlin workers in 1918, and Otto Bauer though he asked only ‘to be allowed to help Dollfuss turn the artillery on the Vienna workers in 1934, are still the true purveyers of Marxism! | There can be no substitute for Marx, And this is especially true in this epoch of imperialist wars and reyolutions when Marxism is Leninism! Today, when Marxism is living Bolshevism! aeiar * H bearind is no experience in the realm of literature more trans- forming of one’s life than the dis- covery of the power—the fresh dynamic immediateness of the basic works of Marx—the discovery that Marxism in the “epoch of imperial- ist war and proletarian revolution” is Leninism, that it is today “the theory and the tactics of the prole- tarian revolution in general and the theory and the tactics of the dicta- torship of the proletariat in par- ticular.” But who is taking those “pon- derous,” “unreadable” volumes down from the dusty shelves and bring- ing them, over the heads of the uncomprehending professors, to the workers in steel-mills, the coal- mines, the automobile works, who can understand them, and to whom they are neither ponderous*nor un- readable? 4n this, of all times, it is neces- sary to turn all the arts loose like so many furies to tear the guts of capitalism. We don’t do enough of this, nor do we do it rapidly enough, nor * )W Hugo Gellert* has done a big and beautiful job in taking beg a ale to ae litho- stone and spreading its crisp, of art.

Among the Jews there are workers, toilers; among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters, capital- ists, just as there are among the Russians and every other nation . . , The rich Jews, just like the rich Russians and the rich of all countries, are united in trampling upon, oppressing and dividing the workers.” nificent drawings related to Marx's eme. No man in his senses could think of Marx's “Capital” as frivolous reading. And Gellert has not given us any “re-hash” or “explanation” or other vulgarization. The text is just a few of the most compelling pages of Marx—so well selected as to give a swift-running, consecutive look at the greatest analysis ever made of a social, a political econom- ic system.

It is a step that must and will be followed in the inevitable logic of these revo- lutionary days. Gellert knows this and with a spirit in keeping with| his art and with his collective philos- ophy he opens an invitation to all the artists of the world to feast their talents on “, .. the works of our great | working-Class leaders—Marx, En- gels, Lenin and Stalin—a wealth | of material for their best creative | efforts.” | This challenge ought to make any and Engels’ “Origin of the Family, | Private Property and the State,” and for Lenin’s “The State and| Reyolution”—and for Stalin's works | on Leninism and on the National Question. It is interesting to note the re- actions of critics—and of his fellow- artists—to this trail-blazing work of Gellert’s. As far as I've seen, the capital- ist press critics, while playing down as much as possible so remarkable @ work—have shown a reluctant ad- miration. In regard to the reaction of revo- lutionary artists and critics, it seems to me there is a word to say. Such a journal as the “New Masses” is of course of decisive important among the revolutionary artists. In its issue of February 27, a critic] surprises me with his cautious terms| in comment upon this incautious | work of Gellert’s. While showing a certain sensitiveness to the impact of the work, the critic does not give the impression of being quite open, I can't help wondering whether, if Gellert had followed Dore into a new pictorial “Dante's Inferno,” our bold critics might have excused him for such obviously reactionary obscurantisth in such a day as this. But in the case of this precedent- making revolutionary work, the revolutionary critics run not the slightest suspicion of being “broad-} minded.” | Tll speak frankly. It seems to} me there is a certain residue of bohemian cynicism among our revo- lutionary artists in meeting Gel- lert's challenge and invitation. In this wet and soggy spring, are the revolutionary artists, some of them, stewing too much in the snow-juice of Greenwich Village to give a hand to a big work like this? | Or to take up the challenge to, In Oil Field By JOHN L. SPIVAK TULSA, Okla.—The Okl- homa oil industry normally has about 100,000 workers, but out of these only some 60,000 actually work in the] fields or refineries. Some 40,000 out of the total belong to the white collar class; stenographers, clerks, salesmen, etc. When the depression grew a little deeper, firing and wage cuts started and there was no union to protest either occurrences. Union labor was pretty well demoralized and leaderless. Since 1929 unemployment in the oil industry dropped between 35 and} 60 per cent, depending upon the oil field, These figures include the white collar class as well as the approx- imate ten per cent average which were unemployed even during good times due to the seasonal nature of that Marx made the better part of|coin, through the “Transformation| artist’s fingers itch for a crayon|the industry. The consumption of |of Money Into Capital, the Pur-| and for the “Communist Manifesto,”| gas and oil in the winter months is not as great as during other months and thus there was always a fluc- tuating percentage of workers who were always oeing laid off when gas and oil consumption dropped. With the drop in employment thousands of workers drifted away from the flelds—back to the land, the factories, the railway yards — wherever they had originally come from during the boom days, in ef- forts to get work there. For those who remained there was nothing but long hours and starvation wages. The only break they had was that oil companies seldom charge for rent, light and water in the com- pany houses where workers live, and during this period of unemployment the companies permitted their for- mer workers to continue living in the company-owned houses. Throughout the long years of deepening depression the demoraliz- ed oil workers mostly lived off char- ity or those of their relatives or friends who still managed to hold down some kind of job. There was little restlessness perceptible among them; they seemed crushed by the depression. But with the coming of the N. R. A. and the 20 per cent pick up in the oil industry and the re-empioy- ment of some of the unemployed, it seemed to change the whole outlook of the workers. “Things were pick- ing up” they read, and they believed it with the result that they at first became indignant at the lower than living cost wages they were getting and then bitter. The rebellious spirit developed first in Tulsa proper’ I don't know | why unless it was the knowledge that they were not living in com- pany houses and consequently could rapher’s Stone|Jobs Drop 35 to 60 P.C. s Since 1929 | their homes auctioned off, who first started a wave of rebellion through Tulsa and other Oxiahoma cities by marching on the co house and threatening to defend their homes by force if necessary. They were finally quieted and imemdiately af- ter the unable to get work or food, with the charities unable to care for them properly, started to talk in no uncertain terms of seizing warehouses, food stores and clothing stores. It ik at first but it | quickly developed into carefully laid plans. The business, financial and political powers in the city became panic’ stricken. It was during this period that a group of “leading” citizens came to Wildcat Williams, correspondence school lawyer, chemist, college man, war veteran and gunman, and ap- pealed to him to stop the unem- ployed. Wildcat Williams kept them down” as he put it, partly by a fund the leading citizens put at his dis- posai and partly by flourishing his gun and shooting over their heads of the unemployed every time they became “hot and bothered” to use another of his pet expressions. Dur- ing this period Wild cat worked hand-in-glove with the president of the State Federation of Labor. S A result of this service Wildcat ws made Sheriff “to keep the |radicals down” as he assured me, | and organizer for the oil field work- ers’ union. Today Wildcat admits | frankly that the workers are not getting a living wage under the code |and that the code wage scale is not being enforced. He is doing nothing | about it and when dissatisfied work- |ers rise in their locals and demand | that something be done he pulls his gun, fires a couple of shots through | the nearest wall and terrorizes them |into silence by the implied threat of getting killed. Since Wildcat has carefully nurtured the reputation of being a gunman most workers hesi- tate to cross him; and those who suspect that Wildcat’s make-up con- sists of a very high percentage of | fertilizer, fear to cross him because of his influence with the legal and financial powers here.

Cultural G roups By ALAN CALMER New Jersey Cultural Federa- tion met in Newark last Sunday to discuss ever-recurring problems of intellectual and organizational growth. These Jack London Clubs are composed of young workers and students from many sections of the state—and from many sections of the population. Many of their members have been attracted to the revolutionary movement through these clubs, and some of them have moved on to active participation in the work of the Young Communist League. During the few short years of the existence of these groups some of the members have out- grown beliefs which they-once con- sidered to be sacred truths. As reported by the delegates, all of the clubs have experienced vital little struggles of their own, In large part these minor battles are signs of a healthy growth—a devel- opment which, in large part, has proceeded in the right direction with little more than local guid- ance. One delegate told the story of a club whose membership at first op- posed vigorously any parliamen- tary procedure as “bourgeois”! An- other told of a dramatic group that consisted of two members—one wrote the plays and the other per- formed them! Another recounted an equally amusing but significant story. His club decided that “genuine” prole- tarian elements were lacking; and the members made up their minds to canvas the neighborhood. They brought back a crew of hard-boiled youngsters with distinct Jumpen- proletarian traits. The new recruits turned the “cultural” club into a toughhouse, and people were frightened away. Through sane and courageous if young and immature leadership, the better ones among the new members were organized into a scrappers’ club, and there is hope for their political education. A well-dressed girl, whose ances- tors probably blazed trails through some section of this country, told quite simply and unaffectediy of the comradely spirit being created be- tween Negro and white members of her group. Another spoke with deep sincerity of @ club in the “upper neck” of Newark. He spoke of the fine spirit of comradeship that prevailed in this club of workers, and of the earnest desire of these youthful proletarian individuals to absorb thoughts of Marx—not too literal, but rather freely imagined — not illustrations of Marx (thank God!) ‘ut rather the reactions of the art- and create working class culture.
