the basis Of the reports of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, the
wages Of workers employed in various
industries in the United States, con-
cludes: "In general it is fair to say
that the great bulk of the men who
work in the various industries of
the United States receive less than
$50 a week; that perhaps one man in
five receives more than $40 per week,
and that very small fraction-well
under tenth, receives more than $50
per week. In the case of women,
these figures are nearly twice too
high. In the case of farm labor, they
may be cut almost in half"
Now you can judge for yourself
how much short the pay envelope of
even the highest paid worker is from
the amount he would be entitled to
under an absolutely just wage distri-
button. 1t should also be borne in
mind that the above makes no allow

The Struggle for the Party

an action very much lacking in
courage. But let US really look
into the matter, comrades, and see
if the conditions ruling in the Party
at the time Of the Brest peace were
really so idylIic as to be worthy of
being rendered eternal?
Our Party is still so young that
the majority cannot remember what
happened at the time of the conclu-
sion of the Brest peace, about five
or six years ago. At that time a
fraction had been formed, calling
itself the cleft communists The
leading theoretical leader of this
fraction was Comrade Bucharin,
and one Of its practical organizers
was the late Ooritzky.
A large number of leading mem
bers of our party joined this frac-
ton, at one time almost one-half of
the Central Committee. This frac-
ton expressed itself as opposed to
the conclusion of the Brest peace.
Its members violated Party disci-
pine in this same hall and voted
against the decisions of the Central
Committee in the All Russian Cen
trail Executive when the question Of
the Brest peace was decided. 1t
issued its own newspaper.
Danger of Groups.
In a word, it acted like a party
within the Party, like an independ-
ent fraction. And such a state of
affairs is designated as normal! 1
should like to relate to you an cpl
sode with reference to that time,
one which l have just got to know
lately. At that time, now held up to
us as an ideal period, the left social
revolutionaries, who were also
against the Brest peace but in real
ity represented a petty bourgeois
and counter-revolutionary party, had
become so bold that they applied to
the left communists with the official
proposition that the Soviet of Peo-
pies Commissaries, headed by Com
rade Lenin, should be arrested, and
a new Soviet of Peoples Commits
saries be appointed.
We did not hear Of this until a
few days ago when Comrade Bu-
charm informed a great meeting at

Patrick Company Fired
Union Members

To The DAILY WORKER: The
F. A. Patrick Company of Duluth
celebrated st. Patrick's day by in
forming its employees that a number
of its former employees discharged
for being members of the union
would not be reinstated. On hear
ing this the remainder of the en-
ployes also union members quit
work and have not yet returned.
The employees of the F. A. Pat
rick Co. decided to organize. The
firm always boosted that it was its
policy not to discriminate against
union members in its employ. But
on March IL, eight workers were
fired for being members of the Am
algamated Clothing Workers to the
knowledge of the firm.
The union organizers secured an
interview with Mr.. Ahern, the man.
ager of the department, who admit
ted they were discharged for being
members of the union. The organ
izers asked their reinstatement but
this was refused.
On March II the workers reached
the limit of their patience and
walked out. The fight is now on
to a finish. Not a single striker
deserted the ranks and a strong
picket line is maintained.

FRANCE is USING
BELGIUM AS Her
MILITARY VASSAL
Plans Naval Base for
War on England


B R u S S E L S, March 27.-The
slight improvement which seems to
have taken place in the relations be-
tween France and England since the
Macdonald government took Office
will not have a lasting effect.
The main reasons for the rival
ry still exists and will become
stronger as time goes on.
France has secured great
strength in metallurgy, now that the
mines of Lorraine belong to her, and
little by little she is gaining the
primary on the continent.
When France becomes the great
est continental power her expanding
interests will be hitting against the
interests of Great Britain with
greater force than ever.
Getting Ready For War.
France is carefully studying the
means of fighting the next war
against England. She is improving
her flying corps; she is increasing
her navy. Further she is seeking
the means to build a railway thru
the Sahara, and this will enable her
to send to France by land without
fear of English submarines, millions
of Negroes from Senegal and the
Niger. Last but not least, owing
to the servility of the Belgian gov
eminent, France is organizing in
Flanders, on the Belgian coast, a
base for her navy-in case of war
against England.
Naval Base on Belgian Coast.
The war has shown how every i'm
portant the Belgian coast will be in
faopaval struggle. In the hands Of
the Germans it meant big danger
for Great Britain.
The French plan to transform
leebrugge, Bruges, into a naval
base. The Belgian war fleet has
been conveyed to Bruges, where the
Belgian sailors are trained on the
French warship, d'Entrecasteau.
Bruges will become an important
military base, too. The biggest
barracks of the country will be built
there. Important factories in the
neighborhood to manufacture war
engines will be erected there.
Secret Military Pact.
There is a secret military agree
ment between the two countries The
Belgian navy is strongly bound TO
the French navy. The Belgian off,
GERS are instructed in France; their
maneuvers are taking place there.
France has given Belgium a war
training ship and further a scheme
is being prepared to establish an
air railway between France and
Bruges in order to avoid the danger
Of food by the bombardment of
the dams and locks Of the User.
All the above facts cannot be de-
MED. France is making use OF her
small vassal, to prepare for the
next war against the new enemy.

Moscow of it. When the debates
over the fraction question had reach
ed their present point, Comrade
Bucharin said to himself: This can
not be kept secret any longer,
shall tell the Party straight out
how matters stood at that time.
Please notice the following. AT
that time the fraction of the left
communists was headed by excellent
workers, old, tried and tested. 1t is
true that some of them had Joined
the Party only a short time before,
as for instance, the late Ooritzky,
but there were also such old Party
comrades among them an, for in
stance, Bucharin. They Indignantly
rejected the proposal of the left So
cial revolutionaries.
Why Wasn't Central Informed?
We thank them for not having ar
rested Vladimir Ilyitch; but the
fact that they did not inform their
Central Committee of the matter,
and that we did not hear of it until
six years later, is an excellent his
torical illustration Of what frac-
tional struggle signifies in a Party
governing state.
When a party is not governing a
state, then a fraction is still an
evil, but a more or less bearable
evil; in such case the parties
quarrel as to whether some news
paper be published or not, whether
some secretary be appointed, etc.
These disagreements have no refer
ence to the government, to the
question of power. But when a
party is governing a state, and es-
pecially when civil war is raging,
then every fraction struggle within
the party is transformed into a
struggle for power. This struggle
is completely disastrous. And where
other forces exist as well, hostile to
us, as, for instance, the left social
revolutionaries, this petty bour-
geoisie gone mad, then we have that
third party ready to take advant-
age of the discussions of others for
its own benefit.
Ito Be Continued Saturday.

port given by COmrade Gregory
Zinoviev, chairman of the COmmun-

the Leningrad Communist Party
Organization.
III. The Fractions and Groups.
HE second important question
occupying us at present is that
of the formation of fractions or
groupings. In my opinion this is
one and the same question. It is
known to you, comrades, that our
opponents, Comrade Preobrazensky
and others, represent the matter
somewhat as follows:
"At one time we had full liberty
to form fractions within the Party.
Altho we passed thru difficult times
at the beginning of the civil war,
still we were able to debate freely
as to whether we could call upon
the military specialists or not,
whether the Brest peace should be
concluded or not, and so forth. But
SAHCS lie 4SAlJn EdrLy congress we
have been limited, there is no longer
any free expression of opinion in
the Party. This shows that our
whole inner Party policy has been
mistaken since the Tenth Party
Congress, and that the decisions of
the Tenth Congress were thus mis-
taken in themselves. It is therefore
necessary to re-examine the deci-
sions of the Tenth Party Congress-
Lenin Drew Up Resolutions.
/ have already pointed out that
the decisions of the Tenth Party
Congress were arrived at with the
participation of Comrade Lenin, and
not only this, but that they were his
decisions. He drew up the resolu-
ton passed by the Tenth Party Con-
gress, he gave the address, he was
the chief speaker of our Party at
the Congress on precisely this
subject.
But let us assume that even
Comrade Lenin might be in error.
Then the comrades should say this
straight forwardly, and not make
an attack on the disciples of Lenin,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-28

other toward a discouraging of vol
untary military training.
Our anti-military activities shall
assume the following forms:
/. War against ornaments.
(a) Continuous efforts to awak-
en- the workers to opposition to
ornaments.
2. Propaganda amongst the youth
likely to be recruited for military
training camps, students corps, or
the like.
(a) Printing of leaflets and cir
culars, to be distributed among the
young workers and working stud
ents, pointing out the purpose for
which they are trained.
(b) National campaigns partici-
patton in military training at per-
iods when the training camps are
opened or at times when the ques-
ton of military training is before
the workers.
3. Work among the children to
point out the militarist character Of
the Boy and Girl Scout movement.
(a) Every attempt must be made
to reach as large a section of the
proletarian children and prevent
their membership in the Boy and
Girl Scout organizations.
(b) Enlist the aid of the worker
parents in the struggle against the
Boy and Girl Scout movement on
militarist and anti-worl1ing class
grounds.
Fight White Guardists.
a. Fight against Fascism and
White Guard organizations.
(a) Together with the Party, the
League will carry on work against
the formation of anti-working class
Fascist organizations such as the
Ku Klux Klan, the American Lee
gion, the American Sentinels, etc.
(b) To secure the cooperation Of
all labor organizations for the fight
against Fascism and White Guard
organizations.
5. Propaganda among the ex-serv-
ice men and disabled soldiers.
(a) To point out the treatment
melted out to soldiers in capitalist
wars.
.. Utlllzation OF dissatisfaction of
the armed forces.
(a) The Unsatisfactory conditions
of the soldiers ard sailors, as well
a. within the training camps, should
be portrayed IL League and Party
papers.
At all times the anti-military
work of the League must be carried
on in closest cooperation with the
party, for tho the majority of those
who bear the brunt of war are the
youth, crises Of this nature affect
the entire working class and the
best results can be achieved only by
the closest harmony with the lead
ers Of the Communist forces in the
United States, the Workers Party
Of America.
