MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1934 On the Call for United Strike of Seamen and Longshoremen HE Marine Workers Industrial Union has issued a call for a united strike of all seamen and longshoremen on the At- lantie Coast for the first week of October. Proposing a definite program of action and demands, the call (published in te day’s Daily Worker) takes up in detail the most important problems the seamen and long- shoremen face and shows how the strike oan be Jed to a successful conclusion. The M.W.LU. proposes the unity of afl seamen and longshoremen, irrespective of union affiliation, together with the unorganized, the calling of joint meetings where all demands are discussed and ap- proved, the setting up of united fromt strike com- mittees and the establishing of rank and file con- trol of the conduct of the strike. Every Party member and sympathizer, especially those connected in any way with the marine in- dustry or involved in marine concentration work, should study the call carefully. Every effort should be made to give the call the widest circulation among the seamen and longshoremen, and to win them for this call to action. The agreement of the longshoremen expires on September 30. The reactionary officials of the In- ternational Seamen’s Union have purposely set Oo- tober 8 as the strike date. The joint action of the seamen and longshoremen is the only guarantee for the success of the strike. AM efforts should be bent on establishing such united action if either the sea- men or the longshoremen are to win their de- must learn from the San Francisco general strike This strike proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the united action of ali workers under rank and file control is the best guarantee for suc- a repetition of the Frisco betrayal is to be prevented. amen and longshoremen! cess, if Start preparations for strike without further delay! Set up united front strike committees on the docks. Don’t per- mit the reactionary officials to put over strikebreak- ing arbitration through N.R.A, Labor Boards. Hold regular daily mass meetings to hear reports of the strike committee. Submit all proposals of the bosses to all the seamen and longshoremen for approval. Only the unity of action of all seamen and long- shoremen, no matter to what union they belong, together with the unorganized under the leader- ship of rank and file United Action Committees can assure the success of the strike, ———E—E———e New York’s Jobless March | r DEFIANCE of a police ban and in the face of a huge mobilization of polee, New York’s jobless, during a continuous downpour of rain, marched to City Hall Saturday to present their relief demands before Mayor La Guardia. O’Ryan, the outgoing police commissioner, as his last Official act, had banned the march; the incoming Police Commissioner, Valentine, as his first official act, had likewise banned the march. Despite these denials of the elementary righis of the workers, under the leadership of the United Action Committee, the leaders of New York's unem- ployed, who had correctity estimated the rellef situa- tion and prepared six weeks tn advance of the present “crisis,” the unemployed established the workers’ right to the streets, to assemble and to picket. The newest order of the police department, bar- Ting workers from assembling at City Hall, must be fought by trade unions and unemployed in a huge demonstration at City Hall tomorrow, when the leaders of New York’s unemployed present the jobless workers’ demands to the Board of Alder- men. Mayor LaGuardia, the “champion” of the job- Jess, who found it convenient to have been in Wash- ington when the unemployed converged on City Hall on June 2, again absented himself from City Hall when the unemployed marched Saturday. In conference with Roosevelt at Hyde Park, LaGuardia again proposed his forced labor “unemployment in- surance” scheme. In essence, this scheme is a re- hashing of previous plans cooked up by the United States Conference of Mayors last March. It pro- vides that the unemployed shall work at forced la- bor for any “benefits” received. The United Action Conference demands the en- actment of the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill by the State legislature and is preparing a State-wide delegated hunger march to Albany on October 18 and 19. The Workers’ Bill, initiated by the Communist Party and receiving the support of the Communist Party and all its candidates in the coming elec- tions, is the only unemployment insurance bill yet put forward that provides full benefit payments to all unemployed, all workers and farmers and social imsurance to the aged, sick and disabled. Support the struggle for real unemployment insurance! Vote Communist in the coming elections! Support and join the Communist Party! Not A Copy Wasted! HERE are 20,000 extra copies of today’s issue of the Daily Worker specially printed to expose and fight the Gorman strikebreaking back-to-work order. a Not a single copy of today’s issue must be wasted, comrades in the textile area! The immediate task is to mobilize every single comrade in the Districts for organized distribution of today’s issue. No one is exempt. The duty falls on every one. The Daily Worker provides the weapon which | | | | bie * DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1934 can help im turning the tide away from any return to the mflis while the demands remain ungranted. Today's “Daily” can become a decisive weapon against the Gorman betrayal. Every Communist, every sympathizer, must feel the responsibility of the present moment very keenly. Let us crush the despicably vile treachery of Gorman. Let us act with revolutionary energy te fulfill our duty. In every section and unit there should be instant mobilization of all available forces to rush today’s issue of the “Daily” te the textile workers, During the strike, we distributed 10,000 extra copies to the textile workers. These newly estab- lished bonds with these magnificently fighting workers must not be broken or weakened. What- ever happens we must now cement our bonds with the textile workers, deepen and strengthen them Every Communist must now prove his salt by taking his proper place in the textile strike, at the head of the movement to fight the sell-out orders of Gorman! The first job is te place today’s Daily Worker in the hands of the textile workers. Com- rades in the strike area—to work! EEE ‘Moral Victory,’ Says Green TLLIAM GREEN, who did everything he could to defeat the demands of the textile strikers, withholding all assistance of the General Council of the A. F. of L., now greets the strikebreaking order to return to work without gaining the strikers’ demands as “a great moral vic- tory.” “The strite is to be deplored,” says Green of this herois struggle of 500,000 workers battling against the vilest conditions of oppression, of hun- ger, of blood-sweating speed-up and stretch-out. Ne wonder Green hails the strikebreaking move of Gorman as “a moral victory!” No, Mr. Green, the textile workers oan’t eat your “moral victory.” They are now faced with disorimination, they are faced with the same rot- ten conditions they so bravely went out against. The “moral victory” is on your side and on the side of the employers, if through your strikebreak- ing tactics, with the help of bayonets and machine guns you are able to drive the workers back into the mills. Green’s record in this strike is one that should be thoroughly exposed at the forthcoming A. F. of L, national convention in San Francisco. At the height of the strike, when the textile workers were calling for aid, for relief, for rein- forcements, when 10 of their fellow workers had been shot dead in the back in cold blood, Green called representatives of 106 unions together, In- stead of discussing support to the strike, he quickly disbanded the meeting, declaring that the matter would be taken up at the A. F. of L. convention. Then Green worked hard to drive the workers to the mills without the bosses granting them their demands. This foul deed should arouse the protest and bit- terest resentment of every A. F. of L. member. Every local union should pass a resolution of pro- test against the vicions treachery of Green and Gorman and send them to these gentlemen. The whole matter should be brought up on the floor of the A. F. of L. convention as one of the greatest pieces of treachery in the American labor move- ment, a blow against every A. F. of L, member, The Communist Party Is Proved Correct [Z absolute correctness, the keenness, trustworthiness, and practical wisdom of the position which the Communist Party took in the textile strike are now confirmed with iron-clad proof. Every textile worker should now be able to see with his own eyes why Gor- man, William Green and Co., were so eager to join the textile bosses and the capitalist press in denouncing the “Reds.” Day and night, every hour, every minute, the Communist Party warned the textile workers— watch out for Gorman, who is planning a “victory” that will send you back to the mills without giv- ing you what you are fighting for! Now, after the textile workers have fought hero- joally and splendidly for three weeks, and just when they have the textile bosses weak and fright- ened, Gorman sends them back when they have the textile bosses paralyzed, without giving the workers one single demand for which they struck! And it is this shameless traitor who dared ac- cuse the Communists of working against the “trade union interests” of the textile strikers! wa was the position of the Communist Party in this strike? The Communists, from the very first hour of the strike, took this fundamental position—that the textile workers, aided by the eager solidarity of the American working class, could really win their four U. T. W. Convention demands. Second, the Communist Party declared that pledged its aid and stated its fundamental pur- Pose in the strike as follows—there must be ne return to work until the four Convention demands are granted by the employers! * * . | eet piece of advice the Communist Party gave the strikers now’appears as absolutely correct and the best way to defend the wages and con- ditions of the textile workers. The Communists stands clearly forth as the ‘best and most reliable fighters for better wages, for union conditions, for an end to the stretch-out —and they are the most reliable fighters for these day-to-day “trade union” demands just because they are a revolutionary party fighting against the whole brutal system of capitalist exploitation. Textile workers! In the ranks of the Commu- nist Party you can fight against the daily robbery of the bosses, and for the overthrow of the whole rotten system of capitalism, for a Socialist society, for a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government, for a Soviet America where the workers and toiling farmers will no longer toil for the bloody profits of a handful of Wall Street exploiters, Textile workers!

At Pied of United Fruit Company NEW YORK.—I solidarity with | the heroic strike of the Costa Rican banana workers against the United | Fruit Company, the New York Dis- | | triot of the International Labor De-| fense and the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union have called on all New York workers to mobilize at the pier of the company, Pier 7, North River, West St. and Battery Pl. today at noon. | The strikers, twenty of whom have been killed and many imprisoned by the American imperialist forees in Costa Rica, have won support from poor peasants and harbor and rail- road workers of Coste Rica, who have gone on sympathy strike. As a result of this action, no banana shipments reached the United States last week from Costa Rica.

The cost of living, as shown by official statistics, has gone up 45 per | cent, while wages, figured on the | basis of full work, have increased || only 21 per cent since 1915.

A Red Builder on Eyery Busy Street Corner in the Country Means a Tremendous Step Toward the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! “EVERYTHING’S R abor. ‘ Late ons Board 4% ADY, GORMAN!” The Most Burning Question --- Unity of Action By BELA KUN Member of the Presidium of the Communist International (Twelfth Instaliment) FTER March 5, 1983, the Communist Parbles made the proposal that the Social-Democratic and Communist Parties should fight together against German fascism, against fascism in thelr own coun- tries, against the offensive of capital, Instead of aiming at a direct struggle against German fascism and fascism in their own coun- tries, the Social-Democratic Parties aimed at the foreign political isolation of German fascism; they undertook to achieve this isolation of Hitler Ger- many together with their own bourgeoisie. This was the time when in England no other than Cham- berlain delivered a great speech against Hitler Germany. In France there was strong feeling in in Austria there was an immediate strengthening of the French orientation in foreign politics and So- cial-Democracy treated Dolifuss as the “lesser evil.” In Czecho-Slovakia a struggle was waged against German Nazi fascism in alliance with Czech fas- cist groups. In Poland there was a strong orienta- tion against Hitler Germany. This was the time when international Social-Democracy conducted a rabid campaign against the Soviet Union because “the Red Army did not march,” and placed the pro- letarian dictatorship in the Soviet Union on a par with the fascist dictatorship in Hitler Germany. The Second and Amsterdam Internationals de- clared a boycott against goods from Hitler Germany, without, however, taking any serious steps to put. this boycott into effect. CHANGE OF INTERNATIONAL SITUATION Instead of a common struggle of the Social- Democratic Parties together with the Communists against the bourgeoisie in their own countries and against German fascism, the Social-Democratic leaders taught the Social-Democratic workers to put their trust in the isolation of Hitler Germany, which was to be achieved together with the bour- geosie in their own countries, This was the principal reason why we Communists did not succeed in achieving unity of action with our united front proposals made on the basis of the appeal of the Communist International of March 3, 1933. Meanwhile, however, there came a change in the international situation—a change which gave direct proof to the Social-Democratic workers of the ab- solute necessity of unity of action, This change came about above all at the begin- ning of this year. The principal symptoms of this change in the situation have been the following: 1. In England there was a change in the rela- tion of English imperialism towards fascism in Ger- many. Democratic England for a time became the real protector of Hitler Germany. Fresh signs of disintegration appeared in the system of the French bloc, This was shown in the reorientation of Poland towards Hitler Germany and in vacillations on the part of Belgium in favor of Germany on the ques- tion of the arming of German imperialism. The collaboration between Germany and Japan and the danger it represents for peace likewise became clearer to the masses of workers. It has also be- come clearer for most Social-Democratic workers that, despite the rabid campaign of the Second In- ternational, the Seviet Union is the only state which is’ really defying German fascism. All this has proved to the working masses that the policy of teaching the working class to put its trust in the foreign political isolation of Germany, instead of conducting a struggle against German fascism and fascism in all countries, is bluff, or, at best, an illu- sion, HEROISM OF GERMAN C. P. 2. A further factor in bringing about a change in the mood of the workers in favor of the united front has been the heroic struggle of the Commu- nist Party of Germany against the Hitler dictator- ship, as also the heroic struggle of Dimitrov in Leip- zig against the fascist regime—a struggle waged on behalf of the Communist International, on behalf of the Communist Party of Germany and on be- half of the whole working class. 3. Moreover, the further advance along the road to fascization made by the bourgeois democratic states in a number of countries and the break- j down of parliamentary methods against this fasciza- ) tion have opened the eyes of many Social-Demo- cratic workers and thus encouraged the struggle for unity of action. We need only give one or two examples: France—the offensive of fascist organi- zations amd the introductions of the emergency decree system; Ozecho-Slovakia—emergency decree regime not only against the German Nazis, but also in the whole sphere of social policy, based on the Czech fascist movements; Belgium—plenary power to act for the government; England—the offensive of the fascist Mosley aided by the newspaper king, Lord Rothermere; Switzerland—the Haeberlin bill against the labor movement and the growing ac- tivity of the fascist fronts; advances of the fascists in all Baltic and Balkan countries. In all these countries there has been an increasingly rapid growth of the urge to unity among the workers. BURIAL OF THE BOYCOTT 4. We should also mention the tacit and un- honored burial of the boycott against goods from Hitler Germany, We Communists had predicted that this boycott of goods would not be carried into effect and that the agitation for this boycott would only be carried on so long as the interests of the bourgeoisie in the various countries permitted it. The bankruptcy of the idea of a boycott against goods from Hitler Germany has proved the neces- sity of a revolutionary struggle against fascism. 5. However, the most important factor causing a change of feeling among the broadest masses of the working class was the collapse of Austrian So- cial-Democracy in February this year. In Austria it was not only one Social-Democratic Party which collapsed—a party which had boasted of having in- vented “western methods” of building socialism, in- volving no sacrifices on the part of the workers. In Austria a clear proof was provided that the unity of a great and powerful Social-Democratic Party does not yet denote the unity of the working class, and that strong militant unity of the working class can only be achieved if the workers in poli- tical and trade union organizations reject all class collaboration with the bourgeoisie, All these phenomena today are to a large ex- tent facts of experience for the Social-Democratic workers and those in reformist organizations, and even for many Social-Democratic and trade union functionaries. The presence of such facts of ex- perience has enabled us to repeat our offers of a united front and has yielded the first successes of these proposals. ADDRESS UNITY PROPOSALS In accordance with our program we have effected a turn in our tactics by so altering the form of our struggle as to address our proposals for unity of action not only to the Social-Democratic workers but also to the leaders of the Social-Democratic Parties, A Social-Democratic worker, however, may raise the question: “That is all very well, but why did you Communists not make such offers to the Social- Democratic Parties before the fascist danger in Germany was an immediate one? Why did you not make such proposals before?” ‘We answer as follows: Try to imagine what would have been the an- Swer given to our united front proposals by the Prussian Prime Minister Otto Braun, by the Ger- man Minister of the Interior Severing, by the Police Presidents Zorgiebel and Grzesinski. All these So- cial-Democratic leaders have directly served the German bourgeoisie, and the whole apparatus of the Germany Social-Democratic Party was com- pletely merged with the state apparatus of the Ger- man bourgeoisie, of German capitalism. To propose a united front at that time to the party leadership of Wels, Severing, Braun, Leipart and the rest, would indeed have been purely a maneuver designed to unmask them; it would have had no other pur- , pose than to show the workers that the Social- Democratic Party, which directly minded the busi- ness of the German bourgeoisie, and was directly merged with the state apparatus of this bourgeoisie, did not want to fight together with the Commu- nists against itself. This would not only have been @ maneuver; it would have been a stupid maneuver. (To Be Continued| + Di uae i vada RE At Apa 5: Pt 8 by Burck On the World Front By HARRY GANNES.

Three-quarters | of the photos are of Hitler. The pic- ture we are particularly concerned with here is the one of the Blohm & Foss shipbuilding yard which de- clares: “Der Fuhrer (Hitler), at the left speaks to the employees of tha Bohm & Voss co.” Now one of the shipyards workers who was present at the meeting was astounded when he looked at the picture to see it portray four times as many work- ers as were present on the occasion, He examined the photograph very carefully and was able to discover that the entire crowd was synthetic. By a very crude montage, the Nazi press merely made four prints of the scene and pasted them together in order to enlarge the crowd for publicity purposes. If you examine the extreme right of the picture you observe one worker with a smashed fedora hat, virtually the only one in the picture; next to him is an- other worker scratching his head while the majority raise their arms in a Nazi salute. If you look carefully over to the right, the same funny hat and the same worker scratching his head reappear three times! At the ex- treme right of the picture, the Nazi fakers did a bad job. There is a line through the photo slicing off hands, heads and bodies. eae . HEN the photograph of Bishop Mueller’s flop is printed in Ber- lin, the Nazis will have no difficulty filling up the square. At least they ‘avold ancient technique when deal- ing with Propaganda. i iT is officially admitted in France that unemployment is growing by leaps and bounds. The latest gov- ernment statistics issued show an increase of 37 per cent in the ranks of the jobless during the past year. Government figures say 325,600 are without jobs. Estimate of the Com- munist Party declare that more than 2,000,000 are unemployed. ES aS on the basis of a cable report of Havas, semi-official French tele- graphic news agency, the Daily Worker published and commented on news of Swedish elections, erroneously believed to be elections for the Riksdag, Swedish parliae ment. We herewith print a correce tion sent us by Comrade Albert Pearson, editor of Ny Tid, weekly newspaper in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish languages. “In the Daily Worker, Sept. 20th, a news item was published about the election in Sweden and it says that the Communist Party there won 42 seats in the Riksdag, and that they had nine seats in both houses in the previous Riks= dag; you also mention in your column that “there are now 42 Communist deputies in the Swed- ish Riksdag.” This is not correct information. In the first place it was not an election to the Riks- dag; it was a district-municipal election, an election to the Land- sting which elects the Senate in the future. In this election which took place Sept. 16th in most of the districts the Social Democrats carried 503 seats, gain 34; Kil- boms-socialists (fenegades) 16 seats, gain 12; The Communist party 9 seats, gain 3. This is ac- cording to cable we received from Sweden Sept. 17, In the Riksdag the ©. P. has only 2 seats. Al- though a few districts held their election after the i6th it is not possible that the C. P. could gain as many seats as reported. The election to the Landsting is of the same nature, to a certain ex- tent, as the state-elections in the U.S. A. Eection to the Riksdag (the lower house) does not take place before 1936.” ha \ { \ } NI I
