taken by a new Convention OF the
combined organization.
8. 1t was agreed that the name of
the official organ of the combined
Federation should remain young
Armenia until further decision by
the C. E. c. of the Workers Party.
These decisions were determined by
the view of the Central Executive
Committee Of the Workers Party that
it was necessary that there be a
transition period between the time OF
afiliation with the Workers Party and
the final organization of the revolu-
tionarv Armenian workers as a sec
ton of the Workers Party, during
which the members of the Social
Democratic Hunchakist Party would
become familiar with the program
and purposes of the Workers Party
and the Communist International.
Educational Work Needed
II was the view of the Central
Executive Committee that for
period Of a year at least it was neces-
sarv to carry on an educational cam
raign among the workers of botf
oroups so that the best elements II

not affiliated with the Workers Party

accept the decisions of the Central
Executive Committee of the Workers
Party. This group seems to think
that it can achieve at once the goal
which the Central Executive Commit
tee of the Workers Party is striving
for in the policy it is following among
the revolutionary Armenian workers:
They desire to change the name OF
the Federation and the name Of the
paper at once, and declare that If the
Central Executive Committee of the
Workers Party will not accept its
views. then it will split the Armenian
Section of the Workers Party and
leave the Workers Party. In other
words, the attitude of these mistaken
workers is: eve are Communists II
we can have our own way; if we can
not have our own way, then we are
not Communjts and we will not be
part of the Communist Party OF
America, the Workers Party"
The Central Executive Committee
/ of the Workers Party cannot make
any compromises with such "com
munists." If the rebelling section Of

and the instinct of those Ta.rties is to
hush up all internal squabbles as long
and as closely as possible.
Russian Psychology
But the Russian Communists are
neither Western nor bourgeois.
Working-class Parties are apt to be
more frank and less repressed IN their
manner of controversy. Their Ian
guage is more direct.
And the Russian Communists are
Russian. They have all the
Russian love of a good verbal row.
They have all the Russian indiffer-
ence to publicity. Our proverb about
washing dirty linen" does not
appeal to the Slav. He holds that
the open air is the most healthy place
for such laundering operations.
They are enjoying themselves
thoroughly-both Young Guard and
Old Guard. But if the gentleman OF
the "Times" thinks that all this com
bat means a splitting of the Party
and 'war to the knife" between two
factions, they are as mistaken as
visitor from some strange land VINO
watching a Rugby match, concluded
that the two .fifteens were morta
enemies each of the other.
The Coming Congress
The dispute will go on until AM
during the Party congress mex

modification of central control, a
increase of democratic self-expressio
for the rank and file.
And the decision of the Congress

There will be no split.

from without, dissensions would ceas
and the ranks be closed solidly.

WEST VIRGINIA MINERS
WAGES SUFFICIENT ONLY
FOR UPKEEP OF CONVICT

Statistics made public in West
Virginia indicate that the standard of
living of the states coal miners is not
much higher than the standard of liv-
ing of the criminals in the state
prison at Moundsville.
The average miner earns $1044.05
and has to support a family consist
ing of a wife and three children.
When deductions of 800 is made for
rent, coal, tools, hospital charges
which are collected by the company
it leaves him $744.05 to be divided
among five people, or $148.81 each.
The state prison spends 1851 a
year for each prisoner. This does
not include administrative costs.

Central Committee Acts
The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers Party has declared
that those members of the former Ar
menian Workers Party who refuse to
accept the decisions of the Central
Executive Committee in regard to the
Armenian question thereby exclude
themselves from the Workers PARTY
of America and from the right to call
themselves members of the Com
munist international.
1t falls upon all members of the
Armenian section who are loyal to
the Communist organization in this
country and to the Communist Inter-
national to at once return to the Ar
menian section and to take up the
work of consolidating and organizing
the former members of the Armenian
Workers Party and the Social
Democratic Hunchakist Party as a
solidly organized section of the Work
ers Party of America; it declares

ANTI-RED LIARS
TWIST The NEWS
ABOUT RUSSIA
Try 10 Give Riga Dope
Moscow Flavor

Riga has now taken the place occu-
pied by Helsingfors during war time
as the principal European lie factory.
1t is near enough to Moscow to give
the fables emanating from the Lat
Wan capital a Russian flavor and
sufficiently far removed to give the
liars reasonable security.
The Chicago Tribune notorious for
news perver7ion has recently featured
articles to the effect that serious
crisis was raging in Russia with
Trotsky, the Red Army and the
Cheka lined up on one side and on
the other the Central committee of
the Russian Communist Party.
Trotsky, by the way is an important
member of this committee.
Where there is some smoke there is
generally more or less fire, and there
is plenty Of fire in Russia, plenty of
life. The Diplomatic correspondent
of the London Daily Herald, who is
not a Communist, explains that the
innocent cause of the flood of lies that
have appeared recently in the capital
list press of the world is a Heated dis
cussion that is taking place within the
Communist Party Of Russia.
Live on Hope
The White Guard elements who
never lose hope that the good old days
may yet return placing the parasite
in control of Russia, see in this con-
troversy, a sign that Soviet control is
cracking. But as the Daily Herald
correspondent says, this is not sign
of decay but of exuberant vitality.
The Riga messages are not mere
fakes; they are perversions of the
truth. The Daily Herald correspon-
dent continues:
There is a tremendous controversy
raging in the Russian Communist
Party-a controversy carried on with
much hard hitting and with no mine
ing of words. The question at issue
is the relaxation of the iron discipline
and the rigid central control of the
revolutionary years. But behind it is
that perennial fighS of the young
Guard" against the "Old Guard"
that RACES in every healthy living or
ganization.
''The younger generation is knock
ing at the doors" of the Kremlin.
And the noise of their knocking
echoes across Europe. Listen" say

SEEK ARMENIAN
WORKERS UNITY
THRU The PARTY
Effort Made to Remedy
Mistakes of Groups

The Central Executive Committee
OF the Workers Party has issued q
manifesto to the Armenian workers
OF America, calling on them to line
up behind the Workers Party and
With the Communist International.
The manifesto reviews the situation
that has existed between the Ar
menian Workers Party and the Social
Democratic Hunchakist Party and
points out the mistakes of both groups
saying that there is only one basis on
which they can unite, as a language
Federation within the Workers Party,
after a transition period. The Mani
festo follows:
Armenian Workers. Rally to the Sup
port of the Workers Party and
the Communist International!
To the members Of the former
Armenian Workers Party and
the Hunchakist Social
Democratic Party:
Comrades: The Central Executive
Committee of the Workers Party has
had called to its attention the situa-
ton now existing among the former
members Of the two organizations to
whom this statement is addressed and
wishes to present the facts clearly so
that every member wiz understand
the situation and the position of the
Workers Party and the Communist
International.
At the Convention of the Armenian
Social-Democratic Hunchalist Party
held in Boston last summer, negotia-
tions to unite the Armenian Workers
Party and the Armenian Social-Demo-
cratic Hunchakist Party and to affili-
ate the united organization with the
Workers Party were carried on. A
representative of the Central Execu-
tive Committee of the Workers
Party participated in these negotia-
lions on behalf of the Party and thru
his efforts the following agreement
was arrived at:
Transition Period Necessary
1. The Armenian Workers Party
and the Armenian Social-Democratic
Hunchakist Party were united and af-
filiated with the Workers Party on
the basis of a Central Executive Com
mittee Of the combined organizations
being elected with five representatives
for each of the two former groups.
2. 1t was agreed that the name of
the combined organization should be

mediately abolish the name, Social
Democratic Hunchakist Party, which
had been the name of this group for
over quarter of a century, would
mean the loss of a large number of
members of this organization and it
therefore agreed to the transition
period in which the name was re-
tanned as part of the name of the
Federation, and the name of the
paper also to remain young Ar
menia."
The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers Party does not believe
and would not permit any organiza-
ton to be part of the Workers Party
of America which permanently re-
tanned distinctive name such as that
of the Armenian Federation at the
present time. The Central Executive
of the Workers Party believes that the

The fact that more and more
branches of the party are being or

to light two important factors. It
shows that the objective conditions in
America are becoming more and
more favorable for communist organ
ization. The coming of an industrial
depression and unemployment, the
attacks of the government against
the foreign born workers, who COM
prise the bulk of the workers en-
