By MICHAEL GOLD ILLIAM GREEN and his fat boys sent out one of their notorious red-baiting letters recently to all the locals of the American Federation of Labor. They warned America’s workingmen against the Congress for Unemployment and So- cial Insurance held recently in Washington. Tt was all a red, red Communist plot, this con- ference meant to gain the right to bread for the desperete nation. Only Moscow could have origi- nated this red idea that America owed its work- ers a living, and that social insurance was due the millions of men and women who put their lives into producing America’s wealth, and re- ceived nothing in return but breadlines. Let them eat cake, Bill Green evidently believes. The Workers’ Bill for social insurance was as awful as any Communist Manifesto, he told the workers. It would ruin every American home, bring on a series of earthquakes, and inaugurate free love, the seven-year-itch and anarchy, he hinted. Be- Sides, and this was equally important, the Bill was unconstitutional. Well, this cunning old weasel Green had good cause to be alarmed. For months as he knew, throughout the usually apathetic locals of the American Federation of Labor, there had been raging a rank-and-file discussion on the Workers’ Bill for Social Insurance. Green’s malicious bogeyman letter couldn’t stop it. His payroll patriots slugged and expelled rank- and-file members for daring to voice their opinions, but interest in the Bill mounted. Hearst might well take a lesson from this. The American people are too close to starvation to worry about red scares. They are seriously in- terested in any movement, whatever the label, that promises them relief from the cruelty, indifference and organized greed of the industrial rulers of America. 5 Green's red-scare letter was tabled or thrown in the waste basket by hundreds of locals. They were loyal as ever to the A. F. of L., but anything was better than the starvation-system looming over them. Why didn’t Bill Green grow as excited about wage-cuts as he did over a Congress for Unemployment Insurance, they reasoned? The red-scare collapsed. Over 2,500 locals and eeniral labor bodies approved of the Workers’ Bill (hush, hist, Moscow!) and they sent some 307 dele- gates to the Workers’ Congress in Washington, * * . Forging Common Bonds HAT happened to these delegates at this Con- gress? Each came from some remote corner of America, where perhaps he and his group had felt isolated. At the Congress they discovered their own sirength. In every other corner of America, wherever workers were gathered, there were mil- lions of men and women like themselves, suffer- ing from the same troubles, and feeling their way to the same solutions. A granite cutter from Vermont meets a Negro Sharecropper from Alabama. They exchange im- pressions, and each is amazed to find that despite all the differences of geography, occupation, and race, each has the same fundamental interest that unites them. They discover that in their widely- removed communities the same intense debate has been going on, and the same forces lining up, for and against the Workers’ Bill. Multiply this education by a thousand; imagine men and farmers, school teachers and lumber- , Miners and physicians speaking from the same platform, eating at the same table, compar- ing notes, learning to understand each other. The value of such human contacts is enormous. The Congress started as a body of strangers who had arrived from hundreds of cities and villages all over America. It ended in a spirit that made one think of nothing so much as a meeting of One Big Union. * * * Safeguards for Employed Workers R years, Bill Green has warned the A.

Years ago Tamiris commenced to compose revolutionary dances as a/ contribution to the American Dance. | She has the distinction of being the only one of a group of concert dancers who have come to the front in the past five years, and/ who has progressed by infusing her | dances with vital ideas. Her pro- gram on Sunday showed that there is nothing mystic, nothing sterile, nothing dead about her content,| and this new content has given her | work a new strength. Tamiris’ | direction of her group is also an achievement and a noteworthy con- tribution to the revolutionary dance movement. One of the most effective num- bers on the program was “The Mass and the Individual’ from “Cycle of Unrest,” presented for| the first time. With interesting choreography and convincing ges-| tures, Tamiris satirically depicted a character who superciliously dis- dains to become part of a prole- tarian group. This dance was an| integrated composition expressing | the sterility of individualism. Another impressive revolutionary group dance was “Conflict.” Here the antagonism was shown between the bourgeoisie—in the persons of | three evening-gowned ladies — and | three proletarians—in sweaters and skirts. When this vanguard brought | forward their forces and a mass of workers appeared on the stage de- | fying the decadent finery and power | of the bourgeoisie, the perfumed ladies sat down and rose up in ludicrous fashion only finally to wilt away before the strength and militancy of the msas. “Well,” said a needle trades worker sitting near me as she ap- plauded this dance enthusiastically. “If it were this way in real life, it wouldn’t be so bad. But the| workers feel the struggle more, and | the bourgeoisie are not so easy to defeat.” Aside from this, the grouping was good and the music highly ap- propriate, with its fugal form of | bourgeois waltzing and proletarian marching. Oe ae CONVINCING solo dance by Tamiris was “Hypoczisy,” satiriz~ ing the treachery behind piety. There were other effective dances on the program; the audience was most appreciative of those numbers which sought to deal with vital ideas, It must have been evident to DATLY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1935 What’s Wrong with This Picture?

I think he was put in prison, later. “Tell me how they handle the prisoners here,” I said. “What priv- ileges do you have, as one who has spent 18 years here?” “I have been here a long time now,” Tom said, “and they are forced to treat me with some re- spect. But when my dear old mother died, and her dead body was brought to the gates of the prison so that I might see the last remains of a dear old soul who had fought and suffered for her son and her class, they would not even let me go as far as the first door leading to the outside.” There were tears in Tom's eyes.

Question: Is there any proof that there is any- thing higher than man, such as God? What is the Communist position on the question of reli- gion?—B. R Anewer: (1) All of scientific evidence points to the fact that there is no supernatural being in the universe. The belief in gods, spirits and miracles arose out of the struggles of primitive man with the forces of nature. With the development of science men discovered rational explanations for the mysteries that he formerly attributed to Divine Beings. The concept of God is an intellectual hangover that is fostered by the ruling class to heip keep the workers in ignorance and subjuga- tion. (2) Communism is the irreconcilable foe of re- ligion. It shows the workers that religion in Lenin's words “is one of the forms of spiritual oppres- sion which everywhere weigh upon the masses who are crushed by continuous toil for others, by poverty and loneliness.” Religion is sold to the masses as a spiritual dope, to drown their aspira- tions for a decent human existence. The oppressed worker is toid t his troubles will be rewarded his long journey on a freighter, as by eternal the next world. just that.

Surely not America where | longshoremen stand hours waiting | jin line at the morning shape up, the more fundamental task of fighting capitalism in all its phases. The emphasis is therefore upon the everyday economic and political struggles in which the work- ers are trained for the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism. The toilers must be drawn into the struggles against the exploiters where they will be educated in the spirit and meaning of the Com- munist program. The fight against superstition in all its forms must grow out of these struggles, and at all times it must be related to the interests of the workers. We cannot deliver the workers into the hands of the priests and the capitalists by letting them divert the struggle into religious chan- nels. Whatever the religious beliefs of the worker, he must be shown in action that his fundamental interests are with the Communists, that he must join in the fight against the exploiters. In the meantime the Communists carry on an educational campaign against the opium of religion and all other forms of superstition. They explain its use as an instrument of apology for capitalist exploitation. They fight against the perversion of modern science into a defense of religion and thus of capitalism. But the final emancipation of the toilers from spiritual slavery will only be achieved after the victorious proletarian revolution.

Under this pressure they were compelled to order the useless and sanguinary July offensive, in con- tradiction to all their peace speeches. The July offensive in turn roused the anger of the masses, to fever heat, and resulted in the armed demonstration of July in Petrograd, which showed that the or he would have met the fate of Liebknech; many attempts were planned by the officer-cliques to kill him. “Socialist” ministers were thus playing stright into the hands of counter-revolution; and in Septem- ber inevitably followed the at- tempted coup of General Kornilov (appointed Commander-in-Chief by Kerensky), who marched with his Savage Division on Petrograd to suppress the revolution. In the face of the Kornilov at- groups all voted overwhelmingly for the Bolshevik line of opposition to the Coalition Government.
