L. D. from their dark cells in Kilby Prison to those who they know have been their most trust- worthy friends and truest defenders. Only six weeks remain during which the I. L. D. must work to block these hideous legal murders. The I. L. D. needs funds to carry its appeal to the Supreme Court, for legal expenses, for arranging all the details of blocking the approaching execu- tions. At least $5,000 is needed to defend Clarence Nor- ris and Haywood Patterson from execution It is the Scottsboro boys, held in the grip of a century old savagery of rope and faggot, Who ap- peal, from their cells at the brink of torture and execution, for immediate help. The money is needed quickly, urgently. It is literally a matter of life and death. The I. L. D. cannot proceed with all the necessary measures of defense without this $5,000, every cent of which will go to defend the interests of the doomed boys. The Daily Worker appeals to its readers to rush funds to the International Labor Defense, 1799 Broadway, New York City. Block the December 7 executions! Save the Scottsboro boys! the I. L. D.!

In its election piat- form the Communist Party clearly sets forth the demands of the city's million and a quarter jobless— a minimum weekly relief allotment of twenty dol- lars for each family, seven dollars for single unem- ployed. The city’s share under agreement with State and Federal relief expenditures will amount to no more than the payments under the debt service and the reserves under the Bankers’ Agree- ment. In its election platform the Communist Party also sets forth the demand of the nations jobless and working population for immediate enactment of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill. These are the demands of the unemployed work- ers which the Communist Party sets forth in the election, and in support of which it appeais to all workers—go to the polls and vote Communist The LR.T. and NRA HE recent experience of the employes of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in New York have once: more shown the real anti-labor aims of the N. R. A. and its national and regional la- bor boards. Thomas O’Shea and J. D. Garrison, leading members of the Transpcrt Workers Union, Inde- pendent, were fired for union activities, hardly a week after the decision of the Regional Labor Board declared void the “yellow dog” provision in the agreement of the I. R. T. with its company union ostensibly providing that the workers have a right to join the union of their choice without fear of losing their jobs. The firing of these workers once more proves the correctness of the contention of the Commu- nist Party that the N. R. A. and its subsidiary bodies were never meant to and don’t protect the interests of the workers. On the contrary, the N. R. A. has been used by the bosses as a weapon to break the organizations of the workers, lower their standard of living and set up company unions in steel, auto, coal, textile and other industries. The I. R. T. employes should prepare to meet a flood of similar dismissals in their industry. They should not be misled to believe that the Regional Labor Board ever intended or intends to enforce its own decision in the case of the I. R. T. Re- member fhe Weirton, Houde, and Harriman cases! A leaflet, published by the Delegates’ Council of the Transport Workers Union recently, pointed out quite correctly that it is up to the workers them- selves to improve their conditions by organizing into the union of their choice and by fighting for their demands. The leaflet states: “But we realized from the very beginning that the enforcement of this decision lies with us, with I. R. T. employes.” The sooner the employes of the I. R. T. realize the correctness of this statement the sooner will they organize to defeat the 10 per cent wage-cut imposed on them, the pension plan and the com- pany union which represents the interests of the bosses. Cnly yesterday the Wall Street Journal again spoke of the “inevitability” of higher fares. The company, while it cuts wages, prepares to increase its profits still more through higher fares. No time should be lost by the I. R. T. workers to get organized in a real union and put up a real fight for the improvmeent of their conditions.

Socialist Party Referendum and United Front (Continued from Page 1) = ways deny). He means, in short, that the threat of .a_general strike, made now, is really an empty threat that will collapse as soon as the war be- comes a reality, in the same way the Second In- ternational parties all over the world collapsed as revolutionary parties in the last world war. ‘The slogan of general strike against war, with- out consistent agitational and organizational work against every step in the war preparations right how,.can only have the effect of weakening the im- mediate struggle against war and at the same time result only in an unprepared, disarmed working class at the outbreak of war. Here again the need is pressing for joint, practical action now: before the war breaks out, and sweeps all empty slogans aside. On the question of working class seizure of power, on the question of setting up a new form of government in the place of the present capitalist dictatorship, thinly disguised by the trappings of capitalist democracy, the Declaration of Principles is utterly silent on the strugzle for the dictator- ship of the proletariat, and speaks only vaguely about “workers’ democracy.” But what will be the State form of this democracy? The Declaration gives no answer, and by its deliberate evasion, leaves the door wide open for the treacherous conceptions about “capturing power” through a “peaceful tran- sition to Socialism” without the thorough smashing of the capitalist State, of which Marx and Engels always spoke. Thus, on at least two vital questions facing the American working ‘class, the Declaration leaves the Socialist Party workers with the old reformist-op- portunist conceptions which have cost the working class such bitter losses in the recent period. . * * E of the Communist Party are, of course, eager to carry on the most comradely discussions with our. class comrades of the Socialist Party on these questions, and we invite such discussions. We know that these Socialist Party workers are as eager as Westo strike blows at the capitalist slavery which opprésses us all, at the menace of fascism and war which threatens us all. We know that our differences with the Socialist An Editorial Party workers will not be resolved in discussions alone, but that they will find their final answer in the stresses and fires of our everyday fight for a better life. Therefore, we of the Communist Party say to the members of the Socialist Party: Comrades, our immediate need is for joint, united struggle against capitalism and its miseries, Whatever our programmatic differences, we are united by the great bond of hatred for capital- ism, and the desire to end it forever. Therefore we propose that there be no time lost in arranging for joint discussions of our two parties to plan immediate, practical plans for joint struggle against those things which we both oppose, such as the wage-cutting of the employers under the N.R.A. codes, the smashing of our living standards, the advance of fascist terrorism against strikes, the preparations by Roosevelt for a new imperialist war. The heroic struggles of our comrades in Spain and France against the fascist menace, the strug- gle for the release of Thaeimann and Largo Caballero, the United Front achieved in France, the growing menace of another world war, all these proclaim to us the need for joint action. * * . Ww HAVE proposed joint action many times. The results of the referendum are a clear indication that the struggle for joint action is making strides forward. There is a practical basis for united ac- tion, and for further efforts to achieve it. The vote for the Declaration is a clear mandate from the rank and file of the Socialist Party that there must be serious steps toward responding to the Communist Party's call for discussion on joint action against exploitation, war and fascism. It is to all members of the Socialist Party that we appeal for united action. The referendum proves that the Socialist Party members want united action. We call upon them to make their wishes known in their locals and throughout the entire party. With the report of the referendum, we of the Communist Party raise the call: Toward a ¢ ence to arrange joint action, the united the working clasad | Party Life New Member Offers Suggestion To Stop | |Party Fluctuation | ——- | Subject: Letter of the Central} | Committee to Party members on | recruitment, appearing in D. W. of | Oct. 6, 1934, The problem of party membership fluctuation has been widely dis- cussed in the Daily Worker and in the Party Organizer. In most of these discussions, if not all, sug- gestions were made which would | solve the problem. No responsibility | was ever fixed upon anyone, how- ever, to see any suggestions exe- cuted. Consequently past appeals, discussions, and suggestions have been barren of results, The chief reason for fluctuation is that new members are not as- signed to concrete tasks, and prop- erly guided by someone in the unit | who should be responsible for at- ten‘ion to those newly-admitted. Closely bound up with this reason are two others (a) The general inertia of party members, manifest- | ing itself in laziness, and lackadaisi- cal manner of doing work. (b) The carelessness and lackadaisical man- ner of old party members, reduces the enthusiasm of new members until they get disgusted and drop out. To remove the fluctuation prob- lem I suggest as follows: (1) That | junits should consist of only as | many members.as will enable each member to REPORT PERSONALLY about his assignment. If we allow | 5 minutes for each report, it means that there should be no more than 12 or 13 members, (2) Each section should be re- duced until there are in it no more than 250 or 275 members. (3) When a new member is as- signed to a unit, the section should | require the unit organizer to revort at the end of the third week. The | new member should also be required to report WITHOUT ‘he UNIT ORGANIZER BEING PRESENT. | The advantages following these Suggestions are: | If each member will be required to report personally, he will be interested in carrj\ng out his as- signment. The discussion following the report will help develop the reporting comrade, and make him ashained of his work if it has been sloppy. By reducing the sec‘ion member- ship, the section organizer and membership-director will be able to know each member of the section; they will be able to stir up any dead wood, or direct members into proper activities when it is necessary. They will be better able to develop sec- | tion cadres. By reqi\ving unit organizers to | report on new meinbers, the. section | will place responsibility squarely.on the shoulders of the unit organ- | WATERED BY BLOCD AIT GRAFTER Mihir yaa asses AND TEARS ae EXPLOITER ia Myron Schwartz . “pt Burek will give the original drawing of his cartoon to the highest contributor each day towards his quota of. $1,000.

This direct responsibility will }act as a spur upon unit organizers | to check any wrong conduc: of old | Members toward the new member, |as well as place upon the unit | organizers the task of helping the new member, By requiring the new |member to report without the pres- ence of the unit organizer, the sec- ion will be able to judge how the | organizer carried out his duty. The | section will also be able to deter- mine if the new member needs some special help and if so, what? There is an’ apparent disadvan- | tage in reducing section member- ship in that it will become more difficult for the section to mee: the overhead costs. But this disadvan- tage is not much if the following ered: | (1) A smaller section membership means smaller headquarters. i (2) A more efiicient section means more effective Party activi y, more mass support, fuller collection boxes. It is time ‘to eliminate the car less and lackadaisical work that di: sipates energy and results in mem- H bership turnover. Since this is a | major problem, fully as importan’ | as a strike victory in coal or steel, I suggest that the Con:rol Commit- tee should lead in carrying out the above suggestions. Let us go be- yond the discussion of the problem. Let us act. Cc. 8, T C. 2, Section 15, N. Y. C. I joined Unit 14, Section 15, March, 1934. Enthusiasm degen- erated to disgust.

Manager Says Tokio Military Violated Road Pact (Special to the Daily Worker) HARBIN, Oct. 18 (By Wireless). —Reports of unceasing arbitrary actions of the Japanese _ military officials and the railway police of the Chinese Eastern Railroad stated that buildings belonging to. the railroad had been seized and that violence had been done towards agents of the railroad. Manager Rudy. of the C. FE. R. forwarded a report to the managing board wherein he cites the latest facts in the arbitrary actions of the Japanese military officials and re- quests the beard to take immediate measures towards discontinuation of the interference of the Japanese officials and the police authorities with the normal activity of ‘the road. In the same report Rudy called to the attention of the board the arbitrary actions within the aliena- tion zone of persons not esnnected with the road. Thus, on Sept. 14, within the zone at Barym Station: 245 meters from the main road, the Japanese started building a hieh- war parallel with the tracks of the main road.

But you must not allow yourselves a min- | ute’s rest until your influence has | embraced all the | working class | organizations of Canada. Then| only can you be invincible.” { Unfor unately it must be said; that. in this country where, imore | than anywhere else, the iimes | should find workers, middle classes, | and intellectuals banded tozether, there are still organizations which | refuse to enter the uni ed front And | yet for anyone who has spent. even a few days in Canada it is simple io give an account of why there is an absolute necessity for unity against war and fascism. Democratic Illusions Here, as elsewhere, democratic illusions have had deadly effect. On several distinct occasions’ the Canadian people have felt the grip of conservative governments through the suppression of free speech, the hounding of the Com- munist Party into illegality, the Arcand Bill, etc... . The Liberal Party assumed a demagogic mask, promised the voers a new regime, and there were many who were fooled in this manner. The Liberal Party did not change in the least any of the conditions laid down by previous administrations. But the real government never changed. It was necessary, of course, to change the ¢ iquette of the administration; . actual power, however, was held by the cardinal, and consequently, by the Vatican. The great masters of Caneda are the priests, who have under their dominion the flexible yoke of a fascism, perhaps sligh {ly less brutal, but much more hypocritical and more intelligent, Press Obeys Church The press obeys the orders of the Church, which is itself at the service of industrialists and financiers. I am familiar with some regions where even a conservative news- paper like the “Press” is forbidden. Workers read stuff like “The >aro- chial Page.” It is impossible for them to know workers’ reactions in other countries; they must not dis- cover that lands exist where the toilers fight for a better life. This is the essential task which the Canadian Commi-tee has set for itself. The first duty that must be carried out is to dispel the fog into which the Catholic workers have so completely entered. 337,000 Workers Represented The Toronto Congress yepre- sented 210 organizations, which in turn comprise 337,000 workers.

The absence of certain organiza- tions must be regretted, as well as the incomprehensible attitude of | the delegate, Mosher, sent by his | group io observe the discussions of | the Congress, and who refused to | part:cipate in the work of the com- mittees. He will probably return, however, and will no doubt give them some explanation of his ac- tions. But he could never com- | municate to those who elec‘ed him in what a spirit of cordiality and | fraternity delegates of all parties | and tendencies worked together.

Having | left before the end of the congress, he was unable to carry back with him the words of Dr. Salem Blanc, ! who made some excep ionally im- | portant remarks. To quote them: | Dr. Blanc’s Speech “When I was a young boy, my parents used to tell me, ‘If. you should ever enter a Catholic Church, remember. the trap-doors will. open. under your feet and you will risk falling into the catacombs, not to mention all sorts of hellish things coming down on your head.’ When a little older, I did dare to enter a Catholic Church, none of these things happened to me. Well, a iew days ago I was before the Congress in the same state of mind, and I am still unharmed. On the contrary, never have I come among Persons with ‘such an urge for soli- darity and such a faculty of deal. ing with all sorts of questions. The delegate Mosher will never repeat these words to the members of his organization, and no doubt they will always feel that unity of action is a Communist maneuver. And while the fascists and the Canadian clergy are so pleased at his leaving, they will constantly ex- ploit Protestant, Catholic and Jew- ish workers, and those who are irre- ligious; Mosher wou!d be astonished and even furious if he heard one of us declare that he has created a bed of fascism.

The program was unanimously approved by the Congress, i.e. by members of the Commonwealth Co- Operative Federation, the Canadian Federation of Labor, the Socialist Party, organizations of Catholic workers, Amalgamated Clothing Workers, the Communist Party, the Canadian Labor Defense League, etc., etc. Let us hope that in the coming year we shall be able to add more jarge organizations to the end of the list instead of “etc., etc.” That day capitalism will tremble on its foundations and we shall not be far from that which we all desire so: much.

Others will come, this is only thé point of departure of a great campaign and it is only necessary to look at the earliest results to be convinced that the delegates will not delay in be- ginning their work.

Consisting of several persons or- ganized by an engineer, Latkin, former owner of a soap factory, the counter-revolutionary group worked out a program and by-laws of a fascist type, in order to spread counter-revolutionary leaflets. An active role in this group was played by a certain Sarov, who, since 1924 had been a paid agent cf @ foreign intelligence service en- gased in espionage work.

Nazi Methods in the Saar Fraud in Registrations |More Light on Spain S THE DAY of the Saar plebiscite’ on January 13 |draws nearer the efforts of |the Nazis by every means and at all costs to drive the Saar junder the yoke of Hifter fas cism becomes more intense, The fact that the Nazis have their organized murder gangs prepared for action in the Saar has already been exposed. The latest trickery of the Nazis is the flooding cf the voting registration with over 125,- 000 fake voters, Latest reports from Paris state that though the January 1, 1920 census in the Saar showed a population of 600,000 persons, more than 520,000 names are on the registration lists, All of the male and female povu- lation above the age of 20 are clig« ible to vote. The Nazis, skilled in menipulating elections in Germany, ready to go to any length to force the rich Saar territory under the swastika, have resorted to every known and unknown fakery to at- tempt to insure them victory in the elections, The Fascist scoundrels realize that the Saar plebiscite and what will follow will be one of the greatest tests for Fascism. A vie- |tory against Hitler in the Saar would go a long way towards help- |ing to defeat Fascism in Germany. The Fascist regime is ready to pre- cipitate a war in order to insure its domination in the Saar. The Communist Party and the Socialist Party in the Saar have declared for the status quo, the existing ar- Tangements of the League of Na- tions rule, not as an expression of confidence in this form of rule, but as the best means for continuing the revolutionary struggle against Fascism, and for the ultimate unity of the Saar with a proletarian Germany. The other alternatives are unity with Fascist Germany or with imperialist France. iano: Heir) ee French imperialists, in their own interests, recognizing the armed strength of Fascism in the Saar and the recent revelations of crooked plebiscite proceedings, are urging a postponement of the plebiscite to the spring of 1935. On the question of the faking of the registrations, latest cables from the Saar show that the Nazis have urged married women to. register under the maiden name, as well as their legal name. ‘The “Arbeiter-Zeitung” in Saar- bruecken reports that 100,000 to 125,000 complaints have already been entered against the lists of voters. This margin of faked reg- istrations is sufficient to decide the election one way or the other—most probably the way the Nazis want it to go. Many of the Nazis and members of the so-called German front are entered twice. On the other hand, the “errors” depriving voters of their right to vote, the Wrong registration of names and dates of birth, occur Strangely enough among those persons known to be anti-fascists, Communists, Socialists, Catholies and Jews. * 8 AEONS the voters fraudulently registered are workers who” are now living in Germany. The Hitler government traced all these work- ers. Under threats of violence, Joss of job, imprisonment, they were forced to register and to promise to cast their vote for unity with Germany. They were also forced to register their wives and children. The usual Tammany trick of registering names in cemeteries has been resorted to. When a notice is sent to a Nazi family in which the voter is deceased, the other members of the family register the name and report this fact to Nazi headquarters so that it can be taken care of on election day. All of these tricks, being exposed in the anti-fascist press in the Saar, is intensifying the struggle, enraging the Nazis, and bringing about an atmosphere of the ex- pectancy of the outbreak of the sharpest struggles. “ ae Cia ao Moz detailed cables on the Svanish struggles that appear in the London Daily Worker of Oct. 9, from its special correspondent in Barcelona, show how the errors and hesitations of the Anarcho- syndicalist leaders led to the de- feat of the Catalonian indepen- dence movement. “The Anarchist organizations are in numbers the strongest in Cata- lonia,” says the London Daily Worker correspondent. “The fell of the Independent Catalonian government on Sunday is partly attributable to the fact that many of the Anarchist lead- ers continued to maintain their lonz-standine alliance with Ler- Toux, the old radical leader, now head of the new government. On. the absurd grounds of ‘pure. inter- nationalism’ they refused to alien themcelves with the Workers’ Alli- ance in the anti-imperialist fight for Catalonian independence.” This false “internationalism,” which failed to see the revolution- ary role of the struggle for the na- tional indevendence of Catalonia as a lever for the speeding of the revolutionary fight throughout Spain, was cheered by the Fascist Lerroux-Robles regime as the de- cisive factor in the defeat of the workers. Later some of the Anarch- ist leaders saw their error. and con- tinued the struggle for Catalonian independence after the fall of the bourgeois - nationalist Companys government. But the mistake had already proved fatal.
