Stand by Your Demands, Hold Meetings, Decide Strike Action By October 8th Jointly With Sea- men Unless West Coast Arbitra- | tion Board Grants Your Demands STATEMENT OF THE MARINE WORKERS INDUSTRIAL UNION To all longshoremen and seamen. Appeal to the members of the International Longshoremen’s Association. Brothers: Longshoremen, Mr. Ryan has again played the role of strike breaker. Instead of calling for strike when the agreement expired and the shipo rs refused to meet the demands, your negotiations committee, headed by Ryan, have declared a truce. Instead of fighting for your demands, th agreed to await the de- cision of the Pacific Coast Arbitration Board. This Arbitration Board, appointed by President Roose- velt, was instrumental in breaking the West Coast strike. Si men have returned to work the board has refused to keep its promises about dis- crimination and removal of scabbing, and your brothers there many times since then have had to take strike action. The Arbitration Board will not help you win your demands. Only organized, mil- itant action upon your part will do so. United action of seamen and longshoremen will be the best guar- antee of victory. Seamen in all ports have voted for strike action October 8th. Ryans sell-out “truce” must be a warning against similar maneuvers sure to be made by Ryan’s partners in their ranks, the Olanders and Axtells. Under the leadership of their Joint Strike Preparations’ Committees and the Marine Workers Industrial Union the seamen will go ahead with their campaign, determined to strike if their de- mands are not met by October 8. In the name of these thousands of seamen the Marine Workers Industrial Union appeals to you to end this “truce” of your officials. Demand local meetings immediateiy and vote that the arbitration board must render its decision before October 8th, Take strike votes now for strike action if your demands are not met by October 8th. Pledge your support to the seamen. Repudiate Ryan as the West Coast mon did and elect your own rank and file committees. Let us follow in the footsteps of our West Coast brothers. AN ANSWER TO OUR DEMANDS BY OCTOBER sth OR THE SEAMEN AND LONG- SHOREMEN STRIKE. NATIONAL COMMITTEE, MARINE WORKERS INDUSTRIAL UNION. action Oust the Gorman Leadership IRANCIS GORMAN, vice-president of the United Textile Workers Union, and arch-betrayer of the recent general strike, has issued a new statement, urging the textile workers not to re-strike against discrimination. He again tells the textile workers that they should rely upon the new Textile Rela- tions Board to solve their grievances. What is the actual situation in which the tex- tile workers, as a result of Gorman’s betrayal of their strike, find themselves? The facts are that tens of thousands have been blacklisted in all sec- tions of the country. The remainder are now back at work without one of their demands having been won—with the same speed-up, the same long hours and low wages—without recognition, without the thirty hour week and without higher wage mini- mums. Gorman, by telling the textile workers not to | re-strike, is perpetuating the victory of the mill- owners. He is setting the seal on the defeat of the strike. He is putting the stamp of passive approval on the blacklisting of thousands of strikers, He talks against this blacklist in words, but tells the textile workers not to do anything to get back the jobs of their most active fellow strikers. | What course is open to the textile workers as an answer to the wholesale blacklist which Gorman accepts? How shall the textile workers proceed as the next step in the struggle for théir demands? First, the textile workers should not leave their union simply because Gorman and Company have Sold out their strike. The movement of the textile workers to tear up their U.T.W. books in indigna- tion against Gorman’s sell-out, will only weaken the ranks of the textile workers still more and help the fakers and the bosses. > . . INSTEAD, the rank and file textile workers should enter even more actively into the union, should take the affairs of their local unions into their own hands. To leave the union now means te DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1934 place the U.T.W. more strongly into the hands of the bureaucracy. This is just what the Gormans and McMahons wan The rank and ie workers; the thousands of textile workers who actually made the strikes— who emptied the mills by conducting mass picket nes and forming flying squadrons—must take the union into their own hands and kick out the cor- rupt leaders. The bureaucratic leaders of the U.T.W. do not want union meetings. The rank and file can win its demands and defeat cklist and discrimination by building a strong mass union, controlled by the rank and file, with the Battys and Sylvias and Gormans on the outside looking in. We should force the calling of membership meetings of the union and hold the regular union meetings. Secondly, the fight against the wholesale black- listing now going on must be organized. In many New England mills, such as in the American Print Company in Fall River, the workers, by continuing on strike and running picket lines after the strike was called off by Gorman, saved many of their fellow workers from blacklist. The mill owners say they will fire every striker who “engaged in violence.” This means they will fire those who took part in mass picketing, in flying squadrons—strikers who were active in the strike. Many of these strikers have already been sentenced to six months and more in jail, for the crime of picketing, while the murderers of the strikers have been praised. We must demand the release from jail of every textile worker sentenced for his strike activity. We must mobilize the whole working class in protest against the jailing and blacklisting of active strik- ers. We must force the mill owners to take back every active striker. * . * IOMPLAINT committees should be organized in every mill to lead the fight for the rights of the textile workers. Grievances and complaints should be sent to Gorman and to the Roosevelt Textile Relations Board. These grievances must be backed up by strong local unions, controlled by the rank and file, in every mill. The local unions and the individual members of the U, T. W. should demand the immediate call- ing of regional or district conferences of the U.T.W. to discuss all of these problems, to report on the strike, and to develop the fight against the blacklist and for the demands of the textile workers. At these regional conferences the role of the U. T. W. leaders in the strike should be taken up. Those responsible for the sell-out should be removed. Local unions of the U.T.W.! Pass resolutions calling for an immediate emergency national con- vention of the textile workers to discuss the strike results and to continue the fight. Above all, it is our duty—the duty of every rank and file textile worker—to forge the unity of all textile workers in the fight for their demands. This means the unity of the unemployed and blacklisted textile workers with equal rights in the local unions with all other members. It means that we must call a halt to the attempts of the U.T.W. leaders to cover up their betrayals and split the workers on the basis of political belief through their red scare. It means we must unite all rank and file textile workers for control of the local unions and of the entire union and in the coming elections kick out all traitorous elements from leadership. Through re-strikes; through rank and file con- trol of the union; through the broadest unity of the rank and file to build the union, the fight for the demands of the textile workers can be. suc- cessfully carried forward. The Daily Worker in The Marine Struggle ’ THE far flung battle front of the gen- eral textile strike the Daily Worker played a more important role than in any previous strike. The Daily Worker, read by thousands of textile workers every day, was a big factor in closing the mills in the biggest strike in the history of American labor. Because the Daily Worker, carrying to the strik- ers every day the line of the Communist Party, gave warning of the Gorman sell-out, the textile work- ers after the sell-out, will be able to rally their forces more quickly and carry further the fight for their demands, . . . IN THE coming struggles of the marine workers, the Daily Worker can play an even more influ- ential role in the fight for the demands of the sea- men and longshoremen, Ryan, the officials of the I. S. U. and I. L. A, are trying to prevent the marine strike, are trying to sink the demands of the marine workers in the morass of Roosevelt arbitra- tion. This can be prevented by the action of the rank and file marine workers. But the program of the rank and file, correct as it is, can be effective for winning the marine workers’ demands, only to the extent that it is put into the hands of the masses of the marine workers. This task is in the hands of the readers of the Daily Worker, especially in the hands of the mem- bers of the Communist Party and of other militant working-class organizations. Beginning with today’s issue, special distribu- tion of the Daily Worker among the marine workers is being arranged. Every local union, every marine worker, should send in to the Daily Worker at once and every day worker correspondence, news of the struggle, news of activities in the local unions, and of the actions of the union officials, Every available marine worker and all others should arrange to aid in the immediate distribu- tion of the Daily Worker every day among the marine workers. It is up to all members of the Communist Party, to ail militant workers, to begin now to distribute the Daily Worker in thousands of copies to the marine workers every day, in order to arm them for the fight which has now begun.

This letter states: | “Considering that the 15th as- |sembly of the League of Nations |has not formed its Third Commis- sion (the Third Assembly Commis- sion engages in disarmament ques- tion), there has consequently been |no possibility of ascertaining the |present condition of the disarma- ment conference’s work, and con- |sidering that, on the other hand, | with the work in its present phase, |the assembly could not start dis- cussion on this question, the dele- gation of the Soviet Union proposes to put the following proposed reso- lution to a vote, at the next ses- sion of the 15th assembly of the | League of Nations: |_ “‘The 15th assembly of the | League of Nations expresses the de- | Sire that the Council of the League of Nations hear the report of the chairman of the disarmament con- ference concerning the condition of jits work, and that the Council ex press its opinion upon the question of further proceeding with this | work,’ ” ‘Unity Against War Is Call at Chicago By JOSEPH NORTH (Continued from Page 1) “The speeches made from this plat- form by Mrs. Berger and by Mrs. Barr,” he said, “both members of the Socialist Party, in which they de- clare their own personal support for the united front, and stated that they were determined to do every- thing within their power to realize this united front, is certainly wel- comed by the Communist Party as | indicating the sentiment among large masses of Socialist workers, and as proof that a united front of Socialist and Communist workers will be realized as the first step in rallying of the masses in the struggle against war and fascism.” The Struggle for the Trade Unions Hathaway impressed the dele- gates with the need for greater | working-class representation; the | fight to retain whatever civil liber- ties remain for the American prole- tariat. Harry F. Ward likewise said: “Our immediate and most pressing task, the task to which this Congress | will be asked to give an entire | session or major part of a session, the task for which we have been preparing, is to penetrate into the trade unions with propaganda of this League in order to raise the activities in these operations. “The first of the sub-sessions to- night will be devoted to that of the Trade Unions. The others include: Women’s, Unemployed, Negro, Far- mer, Religious, Cultural and Frat- ernal, Ex-servicemen, “There is a deadly precision with which the work*is being organized. The leaders of the movement recog- | nize that all of the population will | be drafted for the next war—com- pulsory or universal draft. The plan is to fight fire with fire; to organize the anti-war and anti-fascist move- ment on an industrial and occupa- tional basis.” Principal Tasks The principal tasks of the Con- gress as described by Dr. Ward, were; First, to broaden the base of the movement. To concentrate on the Trade Unions, on the sections of workers strategic in war-time, ie. transportation, marine, steel, ete, and to widen the support from among the middle class, Fascism’s potential storm troopers. Second, to increase the agita- tional, publicity and educational phases of the work; to increase the magazine circulation, print more pamphlets; to send speak- ers into the trade unions, into the churches and colleges. Third: to unite all forces in the League for the defense of the workers’ and farmers’ rights wherever they are attacked in this country. Hathaway, speaking for the Cen- tral Committee of the Communist Party, explained the role of various social-chauvinists, the “defend your fatherland” Socialists of 1914. He warned the workers to be alert to these misleaders in the labor move- ment that “found one excuse after another to justify their own support. of an imperialist government in war.” He explained the role of the left wing in the labor movement, out of which the Communist Party was dveloped, and took the position of Marx and Lenin, who said, “We must pick up every issue for the work- ers, all their immediate problems in the factories, their greviances aris- ing from the war; we must attempt to develop a mass struggle for higher wages, improved conditions, all de- mands of the people, trying to de- velop the mass movement of the workers up to the point where they will be able to overthrow capitalism, to transform this imperialist war that is going on into revolutionary war, into a civil war against capi- talism, for the destruction of capi- talism.” He told how the Communist Party had adhered to that position. The correctness of the Party’s position, he said, is proved by the fact “that today over one-sixth of the world surface, on the basis of the policies that were laid down, a union of the working-class, is in control and the Soviet Union is established. “Nevertheless,” he pointed out, while we recognize there are fun- damental differences among us, we | again reiterate that the emergney of the danger of war, the marked trend toward Fascism, makes it im- perative for us to unite our ranks and to go cut of this Congress to unite the ranks of the working-class movement as a whole on this issue of war and fascism—to appeal to workers to enter this united front “ARMS ON MORO CASTLE WERE ONLY SPORT GOODS.” — Ward Line Officials by Burck CP. of Belgium Clarifies Issues Of United Front in Y.C.L. Letter Shows How Unity With Trotskyites Is Aid to Counter-Revolution In a letter addressed to the Cen- tral Committee of the Young Com- munist League, the District Secre- tariat of the Communist Party of Chatelet, Belgium, pointed out a serious mistake in united front tac- tics which the Communist youth of Belgium had committed in signing a pact of unity of action with the Trotskyite youth group, and ex- plained exactly why such a pact was tantamount to a betrayal of the working class. Citing the lessons and experiences of the revolutionary miners, metal workers and unem- ployed workers, the letter declares: “Our own experiences of a whole life of exploitation, of hunger and of misery, have made us the most determined defenders of unified action. Without this unified action we proletarians can never come for- ward along the road of our free- dom, “Comrades, this, however, in no way signifies that we are defend- ers of unity of action as an end in itself. Ought we to agree to EVERY unified action, one for in- stance which would have com- peiled us to follow the directives of the Papal hierarchy—which is identical with the social program of the Austrian fascist regime— and thus permitted the wholesale slaughter of the Communist and Socialist workers of Vienna? No! We shall nover consider it, since such a “unity of action” would signify, not our remedy, but our death, Greets Unity with Socialist Youth “For us unity of action signifies a living unity of the fight of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie. The Young Socialists of the prov- ince of Charleroi defend unity of action on exactly the same basis. For that reason, therefore, we greet the fraternal working to- gether of the Socialist and Com- munist youth for the protection of the interest of young workers, for the defense of the victims of in- ternational capitalist reaction, for the defense of the revered leaders of the German proletariat, our comrade, Thaelmann, and all im- prisoned anti-fascists; for the fight against fascism and war. “We declare, frankly, however, that under no persuasion and at no period of our agreement with you can we subscribe to any united action with the Trotzkyites or the protection of Trotzky himself. “Do you realize, comrades of the ¥. C. L. who Trotzky is and what Troizkyism really means? What Trotzky Is “Trotzky, a counter-revolutionist, a confederate of the bourgeoisie and an enemy of the working class! “Trotaky, who since 1903 has been warring against the Bolshevik Party, the only Party which succeeded in smashing capitalism, the only Party which, with an entire nation, is con- structing a new world, a world where youth plays a significant and tremendous role. “Can we Communists conclude a pact of unity with him? No! “Trotzky, the renegade who at- tacks our Communist Party of Ger- many, whose leader as well as whose members carry on their battle against bloody fascism at the risk of their lives! Exposes Trotzkyism’s Role “Trotzky, who advises our German comrades to give up the fight when he declares that the distribution of leaflets itself is a sheer waste of time, that it is impossible to win out! Trotzky, who in France lives in a villa, with neatly arranged port- folios, su:rounded by pedigreed hounds, by servants and secretaries! “Can we look upon him as a “vic- tim of capitalist reaction,” and shall we fight for the right of asylum for ‘these renegades? No! “The Trotzkyites are in every country the enemy of the united front, attempting always to slip into the united action committees, in order to disrupt them, in order to spread confusion in their ranks. And do they not follow the united front organizations in order to inject their propaganda of splitting the working class, of creating a fourth international? Cites Anti-Soviet Actions “Shall we protect those who dis- credit the Soviet Union and try to hinder the international proletariat from coming to the aid.of the Soviet Union in case of attack by the im- perialist bandits? “Comrades, can we form a united front with these enemies of the working class? No! Never! “Comrades of the Y. C. L., is it necessary to talk to you about the Belgian Trotzkyites? We knew them when they were at the head of the Party, and when they played a/ double game with our proletariat and the Communist International, ‘Sa ys Workers Should Not Fight on Behalf Of Renegades in order to hide their real faces as enemies of Communism. We re- member the Van Overstraetens, the Vandenborres, the Lesoils, and the Bondas. We remember the damage they caused our Party, our youth organizations and the working class, Urges Real United Front “You must be convinced that we really desire to accomplish the united front and unity of action with the Young Socialists and their leaders. We will accomplish these things on the clear basis of the class struggle, as the Socialist workers themselves would want us to, but without the paricipation of the Trotzkyites, a participation which can only deceive the workers con- cerning Trotzkyism, concerning its real character and its real role as the vanguard of the counter-reyo- lution, “We shall show our class brothers, the Young Socialists, that it is to their own interest and to the interest of the working class as a whole to shrink from any united action with counter - revolutionary Trotzkyism. And our class brothers, the Young Socialists, will surely understand. “Comrades, our Politburo has made a mistake in approving the pact concluded through the Central Committee of the Y. C. L., bicause a united front with the Trotzkyites is not consistent with our program and our principles. Make Declaration Public “We say these things openly, inas- much as we desire the central press of our Party to make this declara- tion public. “We know that in our Party, which is based on democratic cen- tralism, the organizations and mem- bers of the Party have the fullest right to speak freely, in order to work out a correct political line, a Leninist line. “We demand—and stand upon it— comrades of the Y. C. L., that you carefully consider what we have said here, and we are convinced that after deliberation your decision will be: ‘Our comrades of the Cha- telet District are damned right!’ “Young Communists!

After a cert \ standstill there commenced a ne epoch of the labor movement amon; the large masses of workers. Massj Socialist parties united by the Sec-' ond International were created in the capitalist countries. The epoch of imperialism commenced, ac- companied by the formation of a Jabor aristocracy and the growth of an opportunism which, begin- ning with the World War, led to the shameful collapse of the Sec- ond International. Only the Bolsheviks, headed by Lenin, steadfastly pursued the revolutionary line of Marx and Engels in the Second Interna- tional. The direct heir and continuer of the cause of the First Interna- tional is the Third International. But what a tremendous distance exists between the First and the Third International! In the course of many years Lenin and Stalin nurtured a monolithic party bound by iron discipline, resolutely throwing opporunists of all grades and colors from its ranks. Lenin and Stalin created a new type of party, a party mer- ciless in its struggie with capital- ism, a party victorious in prole- tarian revolution, a party capable of overthrowing the power of the capitalists and landlords and of successfully raising the grand edi- fice of classless socialist society, Lenin and Stalin created the Third International as a party of world Communism, which in the struggle against the main social support of the bourgeoisie—world social-democracy—organized the masses against fascism and for the overthrow of the capitalist system throughout the world. Proletarian dictatorship in the epoch of the First International was “Latin to the masses,” as Lenin used to say. Now this matin has been translated into all the languages of the world. Now the idea of “So- viets,” based on the experience of two revolutions in Russia and theoretically expounded by Lenin, becomes the slogan in the class struggle of the proletarians of all countries. “In the country of the Soviets— the invincible fortress of proletarian internationalism—the political and economic liberation of the working class, which was the basic program demanded by the First Interna- tional, has ben materialized. The Third International is the only continuer, the only worthy heir of the First International. “The fiery words of those geniuses of revolution, Marx and Engels, ‘A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism’—burned then over the cradle of the First International. “Now Communism is no longer a spectre. Its material, invincible force finally conquered one-sixth of the globe, where it is now firmly established. At its head stands Stalin, He preserved unstained the great, invincible banner of Marx, Engels and Lenin, raised it high, and now carries it forward to all the toilers of the world. “The toilers of the world know well that the banner which the great leader of the Third Interna- tional, Comrade Stalin, is raising high over the whole world is the proletarian revolution, Under this banner Communism will conquer the whole world!” Seventh Canadian Leader Freed on Eve Of Demonstrations (Special to the Daily Worker) TORONTO, Ont., Sept. 30— Seeking to stave off country-wide demonstrations called for tomor- row, the Bennett government yes- terday was forced to release Tom Ewen, secretary of the Workers’ Unity League, who has served 30 months of a five-year term in Kingston Penitentiary.

R, A plenary session of the Cana- dian Labor Defense was meeting to develop the struggle against in- creased terror when Ewen was re- |leased.
