WHAT OUR LABOR PARTY
POLICY HAS ACCOMPLISHED

the fact that It collected over $1,000
900 for famine-stricken Soviet Russia,
it offered our party splendid oppor-
unities for propaganda and for the
development and winning over of SYM
pathizers. Akin to the +. s. R., but
aot so extensive. were the other unit
I'D front committees set up to work
Tor famine relief and the recognition
Of Soviet Russia.
Another important united front was
and is the Labor Defense Council.
Our party has been able to utilize it
to great advantage. The Michigan
trials marked an epoch in our party
history. Much of their effectiveness,
both in the matter Of finance $780,
900 has been raised to date) and Of
publicity. depended upon the Labor
Defense Council united front. These
trials enabled us to bring our Com
munist message most forcefully to
tremendous circles Of workers.
Finally, let me mention the ANAL
gamation united front in the trade
unions, altho to our @. e. c. minority
everything connected directly to the
mass trade unions smacks of syn
dicalism. The amalgamation campaign
began when the w. P. was still what
the minority calls Sect" that is,
before it had been saved by the magic
labor party slogan. The campaign was
highly successful. Fully 100000
union workers were won over to Civ
ng organized expression in support
of our amalgamation slogan. Large
circles of sympathizers were created.
Many effective contacts in the unions
were secured for our party. These
later served as valuable bases for our
farmer-labor party agitation. This sue
cessful amalgamation united front in
the unions did very much to establish
our party's pretige and control. In
deed, without it our farmer-labor par
ty campaign would have been a fizzle.
United Front Policy a Success.
All these enumerated united fronts
helped very substantially in building
our party. But it is quite understand
able why the G. E. C. minority, trying
desperately to galvanize the dead
farmer-labor party slogan into life
again, should conveniently overlook
them and claim all the credit for their
pet slogan. By and large, the farmer
labor slogan was helpful to the w. P,
so long as there was a mass move
ment existing in support of it. But
much of the early gains made thru it
we're destroyed by the collapse of the
farmer-labor party movement. This
debacle, which left the Workers Party
in serious crisis, cost US the loss

slogans on the political field, can
wrest leadership Of the workers and
poor farmers away from the petty
bourgeois LaFollette leadership.
Yet, in my opinion, there is every
reason to believe that the Workers
Party can be successful in breaking
the masses of industrial workers and
poor farmers following LaFollette
away from his petty bourgeois leader
ship. True, as the c. e. G. majority
declares, "the masses of the workers
and poor farmers are not yet ready to
accept the leadership of and give
their support to the Workers Party"
But that Is why we have united front
slogans. The slogan of the class
farmerlabor party will serve to show
these misguided workers that the
LaFollette petty bourgeois leadership
is against their working class inter-
ests.
The outlook is hopeless indeed II
we accept the survey OF the political
field made by the G. Il. G. majority.
1.-THE question OF trying TO build a
mass farmer-labor party which shall
base itself on the mass organizations
of the workers and poorer sections Of
the farmers Is definitely out OF the
range Of practical politics for the
immediate future" says the Q. e. O.
majority thesis.
The c. 70. c. majority statement
would lead us to believe that we must
have faith in the Workers Party
only on the industrial field. The
present political situation presents a
challenge 10 the Workers Party. Here
we admittedly have large masses Of
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-12-04

ments in the unions and elsewhere
among the workers. The farmer-labor,
party bosters, of course, say nothing
about this. For them the farmer-labor
campaign was all roses and victory.
But even tho the farmer-labor slogan
was most highly effective in the past,
as its ardent advocates claim, still
to attempt to use it now, as the c. Z,
@. minority proposes, when there is
no mass movement to justify its use,
would be to hamstring the Workers
Party and do it real injury.
For a Real United Front Policy.
To maintain. as Comrade Ruthen-
berg does, that giving up the farmer
labor party slogan means abandoning
the united front program is ridic-
ulous. In the past, as we have seen,
we have carried on several very sue
cessful united front campaigns, in ad-
dition to that for the farmerlabor par
ty. And in the future we shall have
many more united fronts upon the
burning issues in the class struggle,
and these will be far more successful
than any we have had in the past.
Conceivably, conditions may possibly
so change in the time to come that,
with the growth Of a mass farmer
labor party movement, we can again
use the farmer-labor party slogan
proftably, but in the absence of such
a movement we cannot so use it now.
While the farmer-labor party slogan
was alive the tendency was to con-
centrate on that and to neglect other
essential party activities, especially
the organization of united fronts
around concrete issues in the work
ers' everyday life. The farmer-labor
party was used too much as a sort of
catch-all it was a too-ready answer to
the workers demands for organs Of
struggle and for the struggle itself.
1t is a very significant fact that only
few days ago the c. e. C. appointed
subcommittee whose function it is
to organize, for the first time, our
united front work. This committe is
charged with constantly surveying the
various phases of the class struggle
and to initiate, wherever opportunity
presents, local and national united
front movements around concrete de.
mands of the workers.
The charge of sectarianism against
the G. e. C. is "hokum." The united
front campaign will not be abandoned
simply because we can no longer
probably use the slogan of farmer
labor party. On the contrary, in its
many manifestations, it must and will
go ahead more Systematically, deter
minedly, and effectively than ever
The united front is the great means
to bring the Workers Party directly
into the struggle Of the toiling masses
and to build it into a mass Communist
Party.

Of a class farmer labor partyf
Because the masses Of the workers
and poor farmers are not yet ready to
accept the leadership of the Workers
Party" must we desert them and turn
them over to the LaFollette third
party movement instead OF putting
against the petty bourgeois leader
ship Of the "progressives" the slogan
of a "class farmer labor party?
Rather than employ the united front
on the political field must we merely
have faith in the Workers Party?
The majority emphasizes "the unit
ed front from below" We must have
a united front TO combat child labor
exploitation, "the Dawes PLAN" for ma
tionalization Of mines, etc, we must
have a special c. e. c. subcommittee
to restate the old ways and to ferret
out new ways OF applying the united
front. But we must desert the united
front on the political field. And we
must not annoy LaFollette with our
class farmer labor party slogan while
he is inducing masses OF industrial
workers and poor farmers into hts
new petty bourgeois party.
We must, according to the majority.
leave the workers and poor farmers
entirely to LaFollette on the political
field, and sit back and wait until the
workers are ready to come to US. and

AS MRS. HARVEY SAW 1T

A reception was given at the
beautiful comodious Anderson home
for the benefit of the White Bluffs
Aid. Mrs. Anderson received her
guests with that kind, benevolent
air so well known by her many
friends. A wonderful representation
of IFS women and children of the
valley were present. About Is at
tended from Hanford and vicinity
Benches and chairs were placed un-
der the large shade trees in the
yard. A fine program was given.
Several comical selections were re-
cited and a splendid talk on picture
shows was given by Mrs. Green,
who is visiting her brother Mr.. Wheel
er. Bountiful refreshments of cake,
ice cream, coffee, lemonade and grapes
were served. The day was also the
birthday of Mrs. Anderson's little
daughter. A table for the little ones
with birthday cake in the center
and the happy children gathered
looked over that gathering and saw
many interesting faces-with dear
adorable little children, bright beau
tiful young girls, capable old and
middle aged women, the majority
showing marks Of care and strug-
gle but on each face one could see
a pleasant look or bright smile. I
asked myself what was the magic
that caused this universal good
cheer. Was it generated by this
} home of love and devotion presided
over by Mrs. Anderson?
Where eyes shine the brightest
And heart beats are lightest,
Where greetings are the kindest
And love ties bind us,
Where mothers smile is dearest
And children's laugh the clearest,
Where life's glorious living
Where there is love and glad for
giving
There life's worth more than all
And for such I would gladly fall
From the heights of fame above
To hold this wonderous love.
It has been truly said "the pio-
neers are the salt of the EARTH"
My dear pioneer sisters:
You have worked and progressed
while working
You were too busy helping your low

To sit down to pine and fret.
You have done your duty, neighbors,
In CHEEKY way that's grand
And no finer women ever

UNUSUALLY PLEASANT

young folks at grange hall last Fri
day evening. The affair was given
by Edmund Tromanhauser and Ce-
Gil Barge, patrons and patronesses
being Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Luhnann
and Mr.. and Mrs. c. I. Wright. The
color scheme was pink and blue,
carried out in daintify huted and
twisted steamers. Of course the
piece de- resistance of the evening,
was the punch bowl which was kept
pretty busy, and in spite of the
visits of some small and unlimited
punch lovers during the evening,
no one suffered from lack. The
music was furnished by a phono-
graph. The time flew only too fast
and judging from the happy and
contented looks of some of the
dancers during the last few dances
they would have liked never to have
stopped.
It is sufficient to say that the
dance ranked among the most en-
joyable White Bluffs has known
