the Communists must accept this de-
feat by dropping the farmer-labor
united front campaign. Is this not In
practice a capitulation to the political
leadership of the petty bourgeoisie
over the exploited masses?
The majority OF the central execu-
tive committee. answers this question
in the negative. Their reasoning runs
along the following lines: OF course
we are not considering capitulation
to the petty bourgeoisie. All we say
is that we will not enter into a def
mite struggle with them for the sal
vaging of the farmer-labor movement,
because such struggle would not
be profitable or successful" This is
similar to the man who said mol"
and acted Yesi" And anyway, further
reasons the majority OF the central
executive committee, Is not the 'Ex-
posture of the bourgeoisie nature Of
LaFollette the central problem of our
agitation and propaganda" Since
when has the Communist Party
merely become an instrument Of agi-
tation and propaganda? Are we go
ing to use bean shooters against the
long range guns of the petty bour
geoisie or are we going to retain our
integrity as a real Bolshevik party
with the ability to so maneuver that
we will be able to break away large
sections of the workers and exploited
farmers from the political leadership
of the petty bourgeoisie progressive"
movement and the political parties of
the big bourgeoisie, under the slogan:
For a Glass Farmer-Labor Party"
utilizing the sentiment which we have
created to make the Workers Party

The Plot to Liquidate the Workers
Party.
It seems that in the party discus
sion "polemical detectivism' reigns
supreme. 1t was thus that the ter
rible plot to liquidate the Workers
Party was unearthed. The majority
of the central executive committee of
the party also raises this cry in their
theses. They say: Therefore, every
attempt by the Workers Party to set
up middle of the way political bodies
to take the place of the Workers
Party in the eyes Of the masses is in
direct violation of Communist prin-
ciples and If carried to any length
will spell the liquidation of the Work
ers (Communist) Party"

the central executive committee is

INSURGENTS" IN
SENATE ARE MEEK
AS COOLING DOVES
They Get Theirs, So Cal
May Have His Way

WASHINGTON Dec. 4.--The senate
safely passed its first insurgent crisis
today when it formally approved with
out debate the republican committee
awards agreed upon by a republican
conference from which the LaFollette
bloc had been barred.
The republican assignments, head
ed by the promotion of Senator Will
lam E. Borah. of Idaho, to chairman
ship of the senate foreign relations
committee were adopted without a
record vote. The insurgents repre-
scented on the floor by Senators Laid
of North Dakota, and Brookhart of
Iowa joined in the desultory chorus
OF ayes.
The Administrations slate, while ig-
noring the insurgents in all promo
tions, did not affect their present COM
mittee assignments AS a result the
insurgents made no effort to block
confirmation of the appointments and
passed up an opportunity for a renew
al Of their last session fight against
Senator Cummins. republican, of Iowa
who was named chairman of the judi
ciary committee.

PLATOONING OF

Platooning the Chicago schools is

NIT to lay in allegiance for a time was
the opinion expressed by Superin-
tendent McAndrew when this matter
came before a board committee meet
ing. However, he did not suggest its
suspension. In fact, he regarded the
platoon system of sufficient i'm
portance to recommend the appointing
Of a commission Of school principals
TO study the platoon system. And
then he submitted a list of names as a
suggestion who should serve on this
commission. This viii be up for con
sideration at the next regular board
meeting week from today.
1t is reported from sources close
to the superintendent that he is leav-
ing the matter Of platooning the
schools up to the board. McAndrew is
concentrating on his junior high
school scheme, the Job he has brought
to Chicago by big business to put over,
and for which he has already secured
the approval Of the installation of IA
from the board.

FIGHT FOR POLITICAL LEADER
SHIP OF EXPLOITED MASSES

labor party maneuvers, endeavoring
to set Up middle of the way political
bodies to take the place of the Work
ers Party" and that now, in order to
avoid future occurrences Of such de-
cided deviations from the Communist
position, they wish to discard the
farmer-labor united front and cloak
the party in the garb of ''purist sec
tarianism"? And further, Is this in
any way connected with the illusion
of the Fosters Cannon group that thru
some magic the whole or a great part
of the organized American labor
movement would be organized into a
broad mass farmer-labor party in
which the Workers Party would as
sumo the role Of relatively weak
left wing and not the position Of lead
ership and control? Both of these
suppositions are very likely.
Let us assume for moment that
the line of development tended to-
wards the actual organization Of a
class farmer-labor party which would
establish itself firmly and function
over a period of time Would such
class farmer-labor party be dual
to the Workers Party? Not at all!
And why? Simply because it would
not be a "monolithic party hewn of
one piece" with an individual, dis
ciplined membership It would be an
organization of affiliated WORKING
class and exploited farmers organi-
cations, with each organization re-
tanning its separate identity and right
of criticism based on the principle of
the united front conference. 1t would
become the revolutionary duty of the
Workers Party to strive for leader
ship in such an alliance and endeavor
to utilize it for it's own development
into mass Communist Party. 1t is
just the failure to understand some
of these elementary matters that
characterizes the theses of the ma
jority Of the central executive COM
mittee.

Both Feet Split.
When he arrived, both feet of the
poor wretch were cracked wide open
clear across both soles, and filled
with sharp splinters. grass seed and
dirt. His neck was raw and bleeding
from the chains fastened around him.
When the prisoner was placed in jail,
the iailer Strath took pity on him and
dressed his wounds Beckett added
that Mickey was good kindhearted
black who did not consider he was
doing wrong in taking the tobacco.
Saved Policeman.
Another black named Neighbor was
similarly chained and was on his way
to Jail when the policeman escorting
him was washed off his horse in the
Wilton river. Despite the fact that
le was a prisoner and could have es-
,aped, he plunged into the river,
chained as he was, and rescued the
policeman. To do the policeman Gre
dit, he showed his gratitude to the
prisoner by stripping him of his
chains, putting him. on horse and al
lowing him to ride to the Jail. The
black was released, and given a
medal for bravery, but whites who
resented honoring a black man took
it from him.
Beckett produces long list of
black girls, all at Port Darwin, who
while in the compound for protec-
ton CD were raped and became
mothers. He said that in every case,
well known white men were respon-
sible for this outrage. He urged a
searching inquiry into this and other
atrocities which he says are everyday
happenings in the Northern Territory
Of Australia.

They Sing for the Revolution.
The Freiheit Singing Society is a
revolutionary workers organization.
For ten years, ever since it's inaugu-
ration, it has taken its place with the
revolutionary workers. Themselves
working men and women who work
in the shops every day, they spend
their evenings in rehearsals and in
performing at Communist functions.
Their leader, Jacob Schaffer, was
carpenter. He's now an accom-
plished musician and the composer
of music to many revolutionary
songs. 1t was he who composed the
music to "The Famous Twelve" which
was written by Alexander Block in
Russia two years ago.
This a Double Celebration.
The singing society has taken its
name after the Communist Jewish
daily at the time of the split away by
the revolutionary elements from the
socialist party when it no longer re-
presented the working class. With
them is associated the Freiheit Man
dolin Society which has come over
from the socialist party just year
ago. This makes the anniversary a
double celebration.
Besides the enjoyable entertain
ment of a program composed of
selected music and revolutionary
songs which in themselves will lure
comrades and sympathizers to this
concert they will be there in full
force to show their appreciation of
this group of $50 talented comrades
who have given their ardent sup
port to every fuction that was held
by the party at any time during the
year at which they have been asked
to perform.
