MAGIL Special to the Daily Worker DETROIT, June 4.—The Eighteen National Convention f the Socialist Party, held here at Fort Wayne Hotel, closed last night with the adoption of a declaration of principles whose chief characteristic is its unprincipled radical-phrased | this demand; his silence told us enough. “Then we suddenly asked: ‘Com- rade Thaelmann, how are you in general?’ And we learned the whole demagogy, intended to fool the rank and file of the party and the working class as a whole into believing that the S.

Delegates put the finishing touches to the convention when they voted to shelve three of the most important resolutions, on the as well as the semi- speech of Soviet Union, on working class/| unity and on Fascism. The incom- ing N. E. C. which meets today, ~ 1s supposed to act on these resolu- tions. Not a single member of the “militant” or R. P.

Threaten Split For the second time in the con- ‘vention, Waldman threatened to split the Party, the first time on | Friday in discussion on the reso- Jution supporting the idea of pro- letarian dictatorship, and in debate on the declaration of principles yesterday he repeated the threat “and was echoed by Judge Jacob Panken. Whether the old guard “will actually carry through the threat remains to be seen, since the declaration was finally adopted by a vote fo about two to one. Even the ambiguous words of the docu- ment and the numerous loopholes | ich allow for all sorts of back ing and betrayal didn’t satisfy Old Guard, who correctly sii the feared that the workers might in- terpret it in a revolutionary way. However, the necessary twenty-five per cent of the delegates voted to “hojd a National referendum of the - party on the declaration. Waldman and his supporters objected particularly to the pas- sage calling for “massed war re- sistance” and to the statement shat “if the capitalist system * sheuld collapse in general chaos and confusion, which cannot permit of orderly procedure, the Socialist Party, whether or not in | wich a case it is a majority, will not shrink from the responsibility or organizing and maintaining a rovernment under the workers’ ule.” “This means the end of the Socialist Party,” Waldman shouted. “Ht is anarchistic, i- ‘egal and Communist doctrine.” (Loud boos) “If this passage about ‘massed resistance’ does not imply extra-legal what else can it mean? No party committed to lawful and peace- fal methods can subscribe to this declaration of principles.” (More boos.) Later when speaking again, in an - effort to prevent the working class ...

To Put Burden of - Tiff Miners Get $2.25 a Wk. Work Sun-Up to Sun-Down By a Worker Correspondent MINERAL POINT, Mo. — The workers here are tiff miners. Tiff is used in the making of paints, etc. The workers live in a small one or two-room log cabin or board shacks on landlord property. Miners get $2.25 a ton and it takes a week, working from sun-up to sundown every day, to produce this quantity! One miner with a family of six said he earned $1.15 @ week! The landowner gets a ‘royaity” of $1 a ton, hauling 50c, and one of the miners said some other people got $25 a ton selling the tiff. The fact is that these miners do not see milk or cream, no fresh meat, very little vegetables and no fruit. A miner's wife was asked about clothing and she said they could never get any except what was given to them, The diet con- sists of corn bread, jowl meat, They can’t buy enough potatoes. It would be possible for them to have a cow, hogs and chickens, but, of course, they can’t afford to get them, They couldn't buy feed for them even if they could get them. The settlers here originally came from Virgiina and Kentucky. There are some French Canadians. They are all American native types, The miners were getting $1.50 to $2 a week in relief for a family of five. J. ©. Daniels of the Unemploy- ment Councils of St. Louis re- cently led a delegation of 28 of these miners to the county seat and forced an increase of relief from $3 to $4. The workers are also becoming acquainted with the Communist Party as the only leader of the workers. Last Saturday night Communist Party and Unemployed Council members from St. Louis were pres- ent at a meeting of the workers at Mineral Point, an Unemployed Council was formed and a Party unit will soon be established. Some priests, sensing the radi- calization of the workers, are try- ing to organize them into a union at $2 per head. It is said that 75 per cent of the workers have agreed to join this union.

In a formal statement to the press, Spang took General John- son to task for the misleading fig- ures handed out in connection with the revised steel code. Concerning “benefits to labor” under the code, the statement said: “General John- |Son, telling about the steel com- panies paying $12,000,000 more on in his air-conditioned office. We'd like to see him walk up to an open hearth furnace and get his summer pants scorched for $21.48 a-week.” Then Spang gave figures on the gigantic profits of steel owners.

PARIS.—In connection with the Anti-Fascist Congress in Paris, a mass demonstration was held in the Park of Vincennes, at which 30,000 workers roared their demands for the release of Ernst Thaelmann. Barbusse, Cachin, Racamond, and the secretary of the Federation So- cialiste de la Seine, Farinet, spoke for the united front of action against Fascism.

Many Wanamaker customers have expressed their sympathy with the pickets with words of encour- agement and promises to buy else- where. Some have protested the discharging of the workers to the management. All workers in sympathy with the struggle of the workers to or- ganize into a union of their own choice are urged to report to the Office Workers Union, 114 W. 14th} St., for aid in pfcketing. Wana- maker employees and customers are urged to protest to Mr. Wilkins, general manager. of Ernst Thaelmann. During the last few days, with news of the Nazi plot to rush Thaelmann to a speedy trial and death sentence, there has been a tremendous in- tensification in this mass move- ment. Scores of similar letters are being sent daily to the bourgeois press in Madrid and Barcelona. Dutch Workers in Many Protest Actions AMSTERDAM, Holland, June 4— Demonstrations have been held in every section of Amsterdam, at which thousands of workers and other anti-fascists have demanded in speaking chorus the release of Thaelmann. The workers employed on the Otto building job at Koog sent a telegram to Hitler demand- ing Thaelmann’s release. Brooklyn Butchers Walk Out On Strike for Pay Increase NEW YORK. Six hundred butchers employed by firms in the Fort Green Wholesale Meat Market, Fort Green Place and Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, struck yesterday “Nnorning, paralyzing business in the market, which supplies half of the retail butchers of Brooklyn and more than half of the shops in Jamaica and the Rockaways. The strikers, members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of America, were picketing all entrances to the market and demanding the eight hour day, 40 hour week, wage in- creases, time and a half for over- time and recognition of the union. The strike affects Swift, Armour, Wilson and Cudahey meat packing companies, Strikers say they will spread the strike to other sections of Greater New York. In an attempt to break the strike, meat packers are attempting to get strikebreakers through the Val O'Toole Detective Agency, 521 Fifth Ave., which has set up an office at 106 W. 46th St. as a recruiting headquarters for scabs. The O'Toole gang ran an ad in yesterday morn- make final strike preparations and hear the repgrt from Washington, ing’s New York American asking for bologna makers, butchers and helpers to report to the 46th St. headquarters.

The Mayor dismissed the long- term borrowing method by claim- ing that the city already has bor- rowed $70,000,000, which will take ten years to pay. This is the Wall Street bank loan for the payments on which the Fusion administration has been cutting into the living standards of workers, by means of the Economy Bill, wage cuts, lay- Offs, etc. Suggest Tax On Employed An even more ominous suggestion was made by James J. Lyons, Bor- ough President of the Bronx, who proposed a tax on employed work- ers to support the jobless, intending in this way to shift the burden of the relief from the city administra- tion on to the already semi-destitute working population. LaGuardia nodded in agreement when Lyons suggested a tax of five cents a day for those receiving $20 to $50 a week, and $10 a day for those re- ceiving $50 or more. In this way, he claimed, the city would raise | $15,000,000 to $16,000,000 a month. Not a single representative of the unemployed for whom LaGuardia has recently shed crocodile tears and who at the same time have been bestially slugged and jailed under his instructions by the police, was invited to this exclusive con-| ference, which LaGuardia charac- terized as “an interesting experi- ment on the viewpoint of the peo- | ple of this city.” But men like) Winthrop D.

The members, seeing that! they were left in the lurch by the leaders, gave up their sport; others! went over into the bourgeois clubs | without any plan. Only a very little part of them was “gleichgeschaltet” (coordinated) as a closed club, while the class conscious and revolution- ary part among them realized the treachery of the leaders and began the fight against fascism, together with the members of the Fighting Alliance for Red Sports Unity. ‘THE treasonable role of the social- democratic leaders is best char- acterized by their slogans. In the first period of the attacks of the fascists on the workers sport move- ment they tried to keep their mem- bers back from the fight by their Slogans of “The principal matter is to guarantee our sports activity,” “Every resistance is useless,” “The fascist dictatorship will break down by itself.” (In this way they were always the best helpers of the fas- cists, they were those who pre- pared the fascist dictatorship.) Afterwards, they ordered “At pres- ent sport is not the principal mat- ter, but the resistance against fas- cism.” But nothing was done to organize even the least resistance. In the last period we see some attempts of the reformist leaders to separate the former members of the social- democratic sports clubs from the red sportsmen and to build their own illegal groups. In this way they continue their role as helpers of fascism by the attempt to hinder the members of the former reform- ist sports clubs from fighting to- gether with the members of the Fighting Alliance against the fas- cist dictatorship. The fact, that the Lucerne Sports International was absolutely passive in the face of the destruction of its organization, the strongest in Germany, and the fact that this In- ternational did not organize the fight of the working sportsmen of other countries for the support of the German workers sports’ move~ ment, that the traitor Gellert who is the president of the L.

Fighting Alliance for Red Sports Unity could not be sup- pressed. It is the force that already before, but especially since the be- ginning of Hitler’s dictatorship, un- tiringly fights against fascization and militarization of sport; it mo- association did not flee abroad nor did they go over to the fascists; at the head of their members they led—and are leading—an heroic fight against the Nazi dictatorshiy By the hundreds their functionarie were thrown into thé prisons anW the concentration camps. Quite a number of them were tortured to death by the fascists. The Fighting Alliance found new illegal forms of organization and its members stand in the fire of the fascist terror, in the forefront of the class-conscious revolutionary proletariat, in the fight against fascism, always ready to die. S25 Le UT in self-criticism we must also see and remove the shortcomings and weak points, which this fight has pointed out. These stiongly checked the work, in part, and we lost time. In the first period of illegality the possibilities were but insufficiently utilized, and there was a certain irresolution about the or- ganizatfonal measures we had to carry through. Moreover, »also up to the present, there has been in- sufficient reaction to the ‘measures of the fascist sports leadership. We see that the connections be tween the leadership of the. Mili- tant Association and the unities be- low do not fully exist; only very few reports are given; the leaderships were not informed about many events in the clubs and in the fed- erations, or they got their news in- directly, and in this way the infor- mation arrived too late. When the connections were cut through, parts of the Fighting Alliance became un- able to work, because they had no initiative of their own. So in many cases we left the masses behind. We put too little attention to poli- tical education; this education could have helped us to’ overcome the ob- jective difficulties better than we did. The connections with the so- cial-democratic sportsmen and our work among them were absolutely insufficient. The Militant Associa- tion worked only among those so- cial-democratic sportsmen. that came to us at their own initiative; but we did not go forward actively to gain the social-democratic sports- men. The work of influencing and gaining the young working -people must be done with much greater seriousness and with much: more initiative. Here the leadership must concentrate all forces and-must us them. Only if the Fighting Alliance will have overcome. all these short- comings and weak points, will the; gain. success in securing unity with the social-democratic sportsmen, in the formation of the united: front with all anti-fascist sportsmen in general, which is. one of the condi- tions. for a victorious fight for the downfall of fascism.
