policy and is printing attacks upon

a statement by the Central Executive
committee of the Workers Party.
at declares itself in opposition to
the principles and tactics of the party
and of the Polish Section.
Every effort has been made by
the representatives of the Polish Blu
reau to have the persons now con-
trolling this paper to refrain and
come to some friendly agreement
with the Polish Section and the Party.
In view of the fact that these eff
forts have brought no results and the
Clos Robotniczy' continues its cam

lions of the Party, the Central Ex-
scutive Committee declares that the
Clos Robotniczy' is not worthy of
any moral or financial support by
friends of the Communist movement

hat the persons controlling this paper
IRE also the leading element in the

ional Publishing Association, and |
hat this organization has no connec-

Ittitude is hostile to the Party"

ILLINOIS MINERS
JOINING BATTLE
FOR FOREIGN BORN
Davis Laws and Khan
The Issues
Csp.elai to The Daily worksr)

JOHNSTON CITY, H.. March g.
Councils for the Protection of For
eign Born are forming in the mining
towns of southern Illinois where so
many of the workers are of Euro
pean extraction.
Johnson City's new council will
hold a big mass meeting March 8 to
protest against the selective immi-
grafton bills now pending in Con-
gress. F. R. Sullivan of st. Louis
will be the principal speaker.
To Fight K. X. X.
Another organization, called the
Alien Protective League, has been or
ganized for the purpose of resisting
the attacks which the Ku Klux Khan
makes on the foreign born. The new
society will make the Khan a big is
sue in the April election. Bootleg
gers and gamblers are barred from
membership.
The local Slovakian National Bene-
fit Society has protested to Washing
ton against the enactment of any
special legislation against the for
eign born and condemns categoric-
ally the bills in the interest Of bust
ness on selective immigration. The
national organization, with head
quarters in Chicago. and with a
membership of $4,000, is urged to
send in a similar protest.
The Slovenian society points out
that the Creation National Benefit
Society, with offices at Pittsburgh,
has sent in ringing protest.
West Frankfort Council.
West Frankfort is forming a coun-
ell for the Protection of the Foreign
Born now. At a recent meeting a
committee of six was chosen to ar
range mass meetings and organize
other protests.
Other mining towns are forming
councils of this kind. The miners are
aroused by the strike-breaking char
acter Of the Davis bills, which would
compel every one Of the millions of
foreign born workers to register with
the authorities who would work for
his deportation if he stood up for
the rights of his class.
Belleville German Relief.
The Central Labor Council Of
Belleville has formed a committee for
the relief Of the German workers.
Relief will be sent in equal portions
thru the Protestant and Catholic
Church committee and the Friends Of
Soviet Russia and Workers Germany.
Most Of the unions are assessing their
ten cents each. Contribu-
tions are also being made from local
union treasures and many individ-
uals are giving generously.

Reader Thinks Dome
Scandal Is " one
of Our Business

To the DAILY W0RKER-Does it
ever occur to you: That the great
efforts now made to iiberate prison
ers Of war out of the penitentiary
of Leavenworth has an economic as
pect, AS hardy, developed bodies can
be Of great service to produce profits
for some of the pals of these FORE
most citizens. That Is a whole lot
better than paying for their keep.
Does it ever occur to you that:
The Tea Pot Dome oil exposure is
none Of your business. as it only
concerns those who share in the
booty. Does it not plainly show that
officialdom represents only those who
really control. Why don't they con-
Germ themselves with housing condi-
tons? That is your business.
Does IL ever occur to you: That
the street car system Of either ele-
waited, surface or subway are to the
people what the elevators In big office
buildings or in department stores are
20 the owners thereof. To promote
the general welfare Of the people, no
pecuniary profits should flow to any
one, or any set Of men.
Does IL ever occur to you: That
our constitution was written for the
purpose Of protecting to us the rights
of Life, Liberty and Pursuit Of hap
piness, would it read Life, Liberty
and undisturbed pursuit Of dough by
office holders, it would be Just right.

but if the slogan is issued: "Down
with the Party apparatus" then we
shall have to be careful indeed not
to destroy the whole apparatus Of
the government by such slogan,
and careful again not to injure the
actual framework Of the whole
Party, by the aid Of which the Party
has been working up to now along
the lines upon which it had to work,
Is it possible to accomplish those
state duties incumbent on the Party
without the help Of this apparatus
You forget that we, with you, are
carrying on work which is three
fourths state work--or are you go
ing to believe those who tell you that
the Party should occupy itself with
it's own affairs, and the state with
state affairs. There are people who
will say this. 1t is a false politica'
conclusion. In our agrarian country,
with our number of proletarians.
with our state apparatus, and under
the NEP, it must not be forgotten
that Comrade Lenin placed this APP
paratus on sound basis, and that
we Communists, as a Party, are faced
with this enormous task of purely
state work.
Require Centralized Apparatus.
The slogan, dismissal Of the
paratus men from their posts,' were
employed by US Bolsheviki again
the Mensheviki, because we wante
to destroy this party.
It must be remembered that we
require a mighty centralized appa-
ratus. The apparatus which we pos
sess is bad. It commits errors, Just
as all our Party members do. And
those Party members who have been
placed in responsible positions by the
Party, the economists, the co-opera-
tors-do they not make mistakes
too? To be sure they do. But the
errors which really concern the
Party, our mistakes which effect the
actual body of the Party, these cut
much more deeply. AS a general
rule, however, the Party apparatus
has carried out the policy dictated it
by the Central
The apparatus is tool, an instfu-
ment, and if you are not going to
admit that the apparatus has carried
out its policy, if you are going to
the general policy by the
slogan of Dismissal of the old ap-
paratus-men from their posts" then
the Party will not permit this. 1t
will renew its apparatus systemati-
cally, and cure its diseases. There

fore, the Party advises: "Renew the
Party apparatus Systematically at
every new election, and choose COM
rades and workers capable of carry
ing out the workers democracy"
Cannot Permit Groupings.
In conclusion, should like to put
one more question to myself and to
you: Here we have a resolution and
a historical turning point, which are
in themselves naturally not Of such
essential Importance as the change
Of tactics involved in the NEP. We
have afforded the guarantee that the
change implied in this resolution is
going to be carried out with the
smallest possible detriment to the
Party, and the question as to what
is going to be done towards the ex-
ecption of the Centraps decisions can
be answered perfectly clearly:
Party life is to be renewed from
top to bottom, all questions of a po-
litical and economic character are to
be submitted to debate among the
broad lower strata Of the Party; our
apparatus is to be Systematically re-
Hewed at the new elections; comrades
are to be elected and not appointed.
Thus the resolution of the Central
can be carried out" But what must
not be allowed to happen is the fol-
lowing: at this critical turning point
no groupings must be permitted,
whether factional or other groups;
no one section of the Party must be
melted against another; the evolu,
ton being performed by the Party
must not be converted into conceal
ed struggle for power within the
Party. Then we shall fulfill our
task. If we prove too weak to offer
resistance against those who are at
present trying to play off the Party
against itself; if we are not firm
enough in this respect, then we shall
be criminals in the eyes of the whole
Party and of the next Party confer
ence. l am profoundly convinced
that the Moscow organization will
not commit this error, that it will
dare everything, will discuss the
whole criticism thoroly in its nuclei,
and will finally, with all determine
ton and caution, and with due obser-
walton of the old Bolshevist disci-
pline and the old Bolshevist theology,
perform the necessary evolution, and
not permit anyone to hinder it in
doing so.

Conclusion Of Kamenevs Speech Before Moscow Communists

We tell you this because we are we'll
aware how factions come into being,
and how they pursue their aims. We
ourselves once formed a faction;
for 90 years we were a faction in
the Russian Social Democratic Work.
ers Party, and we were deliberately
a faction, for we intended to con-
quer power by these means, and we
have carried out our purpose.
We split off from the Mensheviki,
and made our Party into a complete
whole in itself. If we are to solve
the present question, we must state
openly what faction leads to and
what is the result of the formation
of groups. We have a very differenl
conception of the structure Of the
Party to that held by those comrades
who stand for the IL erty to form
groups. There exist two forms of
party groupings: let us take the
Menshevist party, with which we
long lived in close affinity, and which
we got to know thru and thru--and
our faction, the Bolshevili. What
is the difference between these? The
difference consisted Of the fact that
we were a centralized organization
of the shock troops Of the revolution,
united down to the last man on our
theological basis.
Necessity Of United Action.
And what were the Mensheviki?
They were a coalition Of various
shades, Of various groupings. This
was the Menshevist organization, and
this is why they succumbed in in
ternal party struggles. We stood as
a united organization, and they as
a coalition Of differing shades and
groupings. It was not for nothing
that Comrade Lenin named the Men
sheviki the heroes of petty reserva-
tons If we have an organization in
which one section is opposed to an
other, it is only natural that each
group will make reservations with
respect to the other. / am afraid
that Comrade Preobrashensky will
make reservations with regard to
Comrade Sapronov, and that Com
rade Sapronov will do the same with
regard to Comrade 0ssinsky.
Comrades, l ask you what you
really want. Do you want firmly
welded MISREPRESENTATION, with
all the inner democracy possessed by
the Party, or are you trying to trans
form our Party into a coalition of
groups, of small groupings and
shades of opinion? This is luxury
which we cannot permit ourselves.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-03

And we are of the opinion that the
Party would drive away. with a
hangman''s rope, and before the next
congress, any Central bringing the
Party into such a condition. Such
degeneration Of the Party would
signify its complete defeat on the
field Of real state power. It must be
our endeavor to perform the neces-
sary evolution in mutual agreement,
and in such a manner as TO lose as
little as possible by it. But should
anyone seek to utilize this evolution
for the purpose Of introducing into
our conception Of things, that which
formed the essential character of the
Menhevist party, then, comrades, you
must permit us to call halt. That
is something which we shall not
allow.
Party Apparatus.
Neither shall we allow that which
we have heard and felt at the dis
trict meetings. The question Of the
Party apparatus was brought up at
all these meetings. The favorable
opportunity is to be seized upon
when the Party admits that errors
have been committed, that there
have been appointment experts"
that stupidities have been committed.
This is the moment for those COM
rades who have been drumming at
the door fer three years = come and
say: "Now then, down with the APP
paratus." II the necessary transit
ton which we are endeavoring to
carry out is to be utilized for the
purpose Of melting one section Of the
Party against another-that means
overstepping the limit and risking a
broken neck.
What is our Party apparatus? Ac-
cording to information / have re-
ceived from the Central, 10000 COM
rades are working in the Party APP
paratus. l do not know whether that
is many or few. But / know that
q much larger number Of apparatus
workers are employed in our peoples
commissariats. But if 10000 out of
10000 Party members are absorbed
by what we call the Party apparatus,
this has been brought about by ne
cessity. The question is. therefore:
what are we to do with this appara-
tus; is II of any use for anything,
or does it consist of a selection of
members who should be hunted out
of the Party? | maintain that this
should be renewed, that
the faults Of the apparatus should
be removed by our common efforts
