1t is necessary, however, that the
co-operatives shall be controlled and
directed by the rank and file workers
and working farmers, and not by the
capitalists, the professional bourgeois
experts and intellectuals. Otherwise,
the co-operatives will cease to be eff

will be turned into organs of class col

MICHIGAN HITS
ne W BLOW At
WORKERS PARTY
Bridgenan Contention
SGw First Attack
BY CYRIL LAMBKIN.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. o.
The state of Michigan has just
struck it's second blow at the
Communist movement by ruling
the Workers Party off the ballot.
The first blow was struck
more than two years ago when
it joined with the federal gov
eminent in raiding the conven-
ton of the Communist Party at
Bridgeman and arresting many
Of the leaders.
Blow VIII Prove Boomerang
But just as the first blow not only
failed to accomplish its object of des-
troytng the Communist movement, but
on the contrary strengthened it, so
the second blow will prove a boom
erang that will strike back at the
capitalist class.
The Michigan election law contains
a provision that the state central
committee Of each political party is
to be elected at the first party con-
vention held in the odd years. OBJ
viously, this is meant for established
parties and not for parties appearing
on the ballots for the first time. AS
q matter Of fact, such was the inter
probation given our party representa-
tive by the office Of the secretary of
state.
The party held its state convention
at which Il nominated Is electors and
four candidates for state offices and
elected a state central committee. The
state central committee certified the
nominations to the secretary of state
and the S3 county election commits
sions.
LaFolIette Ticket Gets o. K.
Such, in fact, was the procedure
Followed by the LaFollette forces. But
the LaFollette ticket was not ruled
Oft the ballot.
without doubt, the capitalist 60
Hernment was glad Of the opportunity
to bar our party from the ballot.
However, there is reason to believe
that the state government which re-
presents the big capitalists intends
indirectly to strike at LaFollette also.
The politicians have not the courage
to strike at him directly, But they
reasoned that if we go to court and
get an adverse ruling it would apply
to LaFollette as well as to us.
The party has engaged counsel and
is going to fight to enter the elections
in this state this fall There is a bare
possibility that a favorable order will
be had. 1t is more likely that the
decision will be unfavorable and we
shall then have additional proof that
democracy is an Illusion.

course of three lectures to be given
quarterly. These lectures are to deal
with the elements of Communism and
the program of the Workers Party
Thus we will make certain that new
members will be better acquainted
with the Communist position.
In addition, lectures are to be sent
to the branches on questions based
on the decisions of Of. the Fifth Con.
gress of the Communist International
In this way in addition to the regular
courses in education, branch educa
ton can be extended.
The city central committee meet
ing indicated that the activities of this
party were extending in all directions
and that the party as a whole and its
branches were going forward. Indus
trial activity must be increased many
fold, and is now receiving more atten
ton than ever before. The DAILY
WORKER must be built at all costs.
This is the big job before us. To aid
in that direction the proceeds of the
November 7th Soviet Anniversary Gel
ebration will be given to the DAILY
WORKER.
Every member Of the party is ex-
pected to become a member of THE
DAILY WORKER BRICKLAYERS'
UNION, by subscribing to the DAILY
WORKER or getting another worker
to subscribe. Membership in the
Bricklayers' Union is compulsory and
comrades who fail to join this union
by getting subscribers in this organic
alton drive to build up THE DAILY
WORKER BRICKLAYERS' UNION
must answer to the party.
