At N. !. PAR[EY
Convention of Workers
Party of America Proceeds
With the Work of Adopt
ing a Constitution.

New York. Dec. 26.-Steve
Burcher, New Jersey delegate to
the convention called for organiza-
tion of the Workers Party of
America, who presided with a po-
liceman's billy at yesterdays noisy
session took the chair today with
a bowling pin for gavel.
A preliminary rap and the con-
vention proceeded with the work of
adopting a constitution for an or
ganizaton dedicated to the over
throw of the present government
and substitution of q workers re-
public. There followed an address
by "Comrade" Bill Dunn, of Mon
tana, former I. w. w. leader, in
which he predicted the ultimate
success Of the Russian revolution
and the spread of communism
throughout the world. He added
that it was "becoming fashionable
to believe that some sort of capi-
talism is springing up in Russia. y
eve are meeting here in securi-
ty, or at least in fancied security" >"
he continued, "and up to the pres
ent none of the forces of capital
ism, either through the govern
ment or otherwise. has in fered
with us. AS a matter Of fact. no
radical body has been raided with
in the last two years and some of
us seem to think that the hysteria
of war has died down. But is that
true?"
He then declared that the reason
for the lack of raids was because
the radical element had banded to-
gether and fought back.
Citing the incident at Centralia,
Wash, he said:
"Blo odshed is always depiorable.
It is a terrible thing for men and
women to have to die when life is
sweet. But 1t Is always better to
die fighting than it is to be kicked
to DEATH"
Wild applause followed.
The preamble to the party's de-
claration of principles, finally
adopted before adjournment, which
was taken sine die, denounced the
Capitalist class" declared the
party favored the Russian pro-
ietariat dictatorship" and affirmed
that the Russian soviet government
was firmer today than ever.
Continuing. it declared that the
United states had acquired its in
sular possessions by "loot and
plunder," and called for freeing all
such lands and withdrawal OF
troops from Haiti.
