The whole traitorous record was
there in broad outline This history
began with the Second International
Congress just before the war. where
the Socialist Democrats declared they
would use every means" to prevent
war. Then came the great "betray-
all in 1914. with the Socialists mus
tering their forces to help the Kaiser
overthrow Russian, English, French,
and American Imperialism. The pic
lures graphically portrayed the or
ganized and systematic treason Of the
Social Democrats during the war. the
falling Of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg, the outbreak Of the Rus
sian revolution, the signing Of the
Brest-Litvosk treaty, and eventual
ly, the overthrow of the Kaiser.
Here began a new record of betray-
al by the Socialist Democrats, the
assassination of the German revolu-
ton. All the main developments were
covered by the pictures; the agree
ment with the capitalists that the
present social system should contin-
ne. the numbering of Liebknecht and
Luxembourg. the shooting down of
German workers by Moske's assas-
sins, the overthrow of the Munchin
soviet; the abolition of the proletari-
an troops and the substitution of
white guard organizations, the defeat
Of the March Action" in 1921, the
reasonable agreement to fulfill the
reparations demands of the Allies, the
betrayal of the workers in the Ruhr.

movement in 1923. the abolition of the

events. all pictured in such simple

most powerfully to the workers as

ten years. 1t was a most terrific

teresting. the audience itself was
hardly less so. The great hall was
literally jammed, at least 5000 peo-
pie, men. women and children being
packed into the building. whose
gloominess, frigidness. and generally
rundown condition reflected the sta
tus of present day Germany.
The crowd was stern and cold and
calm-marvellously so. Never at any
time did the assembled workers show
any emotion. There was no applause
whatever Many of. the pictures were
blood-stirring. and the crowd was in
tensely interested in and sympathetic
with them. but it sat quiet as they
were shown. Occasionally a worker
would cry out his indignation at some
scene or Individual being shown. or
perhaps, a litter would run thru the
house at the humorous portrayal of
some incident. such as the flight of
the Social Democratic government
during the Kapp-Putsch. while the
workers fought the battle. But that
was as far as the emotional demon
strations went. The whole thing was
most deadly serious.
The meeting reminded me of moth
ing so mucn as a meeting of strikers
in the last weeks. of a long and bitter
struggle. Time and again have seen
that same spirit at meetings of hard
fighting miners, steel workers, rail
road men. Not smile. not bit of
enthusiasm, nothing but grim deter
mination to go on with the struggle.
That was the logged spirit of the
Russian workers in the early hard
years of their revolution, It is the
spirit of the revolutionary German
workers now. In this remarkable
meeting this uncomfortable. do or
die spirit dominated and pervaded
everything. 1t portrayed to me even

The Seattle Union Record aspires to be the
daily mouthpiece of the workers and farmers in
the Pacific Northwest 1t has, therefore, some
views what kind of paper the workers and
farmers want.
The DAILY WORKER also aspires to speak for
labor in the cities and the land and it has it's
ideas on what labor needs to read.
When the DAILY WORKER made its appear
ance the editor of the Seattle Union Record took
us to task for not publishing all the "news," that
we were ignoring current events On comparison
we found that the DAILY WORKER was giving
just as much space to the big developments over
the world the Union Record, perhaps more So
Of course, we interpreted these events as we saw
them.
But perhaps we mistook the criticism of the
Union Record editor. The Pacific Coast daily, in
its issue of Saturday, April 26th ON its first page
in large type, loudly proclaims $4,000 of New
Features Added to the Union Record"
We are told that Bigger and Better Union
Recordw is to develop out of the use of the EMIL
lion Dollar Hearst Featuresw and Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst is paid the tribute of being
admittedly one of the most brilliant newspaper
publishers in the world" ~
This makes us rather proud of the criticism of
the Union Record editor. Surely, il he thinks the
Hearst chloroform good for the workers and farm
ers, then we would feel there was something wrong
with us, il he directed any praise our way
Against willie" Hearst's "Abie the Agent" we
will pit the latest news about the biggest strike,
or expose the most recent developments in cor
rupt legislation that is being put over in Wash
ington, and depend on the workers and farmers
to know which is the better for them. We had
always thought that the Union Record was slip
ping. Now we are sure Of it.

Six workingmen are now being tried by United
States Steel and National Coal Association court
in Farrell, Pennsylvania, ON the charge of having
violated the state anti-sedition law, thru member
ship and association with the Workers Party.
This trial is Of vital concern to the workers and
rural masses of every section of the country. This
trial is only the preliminary of the steel and
coal interests to launch new campaign of ter
rorism against the working men of the state, es-
pecially in Western Pennsylvania. For some time
the department of justice and its stoolpigeons in
the trade unions of Pittsburgh have been trying
to break up the Workers Party in the Smoky City.
The solidarity of all labor with the Communists
in the strong and successful Labor Defense and
Free Speech Council has so far stopped the CAPT
talist agents from denying the working class of
Pennsylvania the right to belong to and support a
political party opposed to capitalism.
The big business interests have chosen weaker
section of the proetarian front to make their at
tack Should they win in Farrell, there is every
likelihood that they will then go after the nine
workingmen arrested year ago in Pittsburgh,
and charged with the crime against the bosses and
their government-the crime of belonging to the
Workers Party.
Every possible support must be rendered the
brave workers now battling for their very lives.
The law these workers are charged with having
violated was opposed at the time Of its passage,
and is today bitterly denounced by every part of
the labor movement, regardless of its political
opinion. II the employers win in Farrell, they
will attack Pittsburgh next. After Pittsburgh the
rest Of the state will be easy. And after the most
aggressive and militant group of the working class
is crushed, the onslaught against the other work
ers' organizations is the logical next step. Thus
ii is in the interest of all workers regardless of
any difference of opinion that may separate them
today, to line up behind the Communists and their
sympathzers, now under fire by the blacklist band
Of enemies the laboring and farming masses Of the
country face today.

A German Communist Meeting

The day that Hugo SHINES died,
was in Berlin. The capitalist papers
were overlooking with glowing eulo-
gies Of this master industrialist, who
probably did more than any other
one man in the past several years to
reduce the German people to their
present pitiable poverty. But the revo-
lutionary journals shed no crocodile
tears over the passing away of this
super-parasite. They showed his true
role as gigantic bloodsucker. 1t
seemed very fitting occasion to WIS.,
it big Communist mass meeting
called for that evening, so went.
The German Communist Party is at
present an underground illegal organ
ization. BY outlawing it, the authori-
ties hope especially to cripple it's in
iuence in the coming elections to the
Reichstag. The big party headquar
ters on Observation-Disclosures are vacant
save for few comrades here and
there. But public mass meetings are
still held under the name of the Par
W, anu JHo Ouc SCucuulcu was ouCl.
These meetings, however. are often
the scene of bloody clashes with
the Fascist, who seek to break them
up. At the meeting in question, Wis
it from the Fascist was particularly
expected, owing to the peculiar ma
ture Of the program and the fitness
Iof the occasion. AS it turned out,
however, no disturbance OF conse-
uQence developed, altho few shots
were fred outside OF the hall.
The program was one OF the best
pieces of propaganda work it has
ever been my good fortune to see. 1t
consisted of series of stereopticon
Views of the German revolutionary
movement, accompanied by lecture.
1t was history of the counter-revo-
lutionary activities of the Social-Dem-
mocratic Party, and was entitled IS.

ers. Morris Kaufman, of the Fur
riers' Union, is not the only one who
strives to establish hearty co-opera-
ton" between unions and employers.
In Justice" issue of March 2Sth,
appeared an article by Morris Sig
man, which is based upon a longer
statement sent to the capitalist press
by the president Of the "Internation-
al" In this article Sigman tries his
utmost to show that the union wish
es to do it's best not only for the
workers, but also for the employers.
1.-THE program of the union" he stat
es, is just as much in the interests
Of the jobbers and manufacturers as
it is in the interests of the workers. "
In another article published in Gus
tice," on February 22nd, Sigman ap-
; peals to the jobbers to be good and
accept "the responsibility and obi.
cations which modern manufacturers
assume towards their employers"
1--WE would then" he says, "have two
powers of equal strength in the in
dustry-on the one hand, the jobber
with his capital; on the other, the
organized worker with his force con-
centrated in his union. These two
powers would estimate each Others
strength and would try to maintain a
balance conclusive to peace. This
would benefit the entire industry"
Let it not be forgotten that the
writer of this is one who constantly
insists that he is an industrialist, a
revolutionary.
The same Gomperists peace pol
icy" is in many respects even more
scrupulously followed by the leaders
Of the Amalgamated. We will not cite
facts here as we have a special ar.
ticle on the policies of the Amalga.
mated. The same policy is pursued
in the Capmakers' Union, in the Jour.
neymen Tailors' Union, and in other
so-called radical unions. This Com.
persist philosophy not only finds ex
but is the determining factor in ev.
cry step of trade union activity. And
this is the cause of the chaos, the de.
moralization, the helplessness of our
union organizations.
At time when truly progressive
leaders are exerting all their energy
to organize the workers so that they
may be prepared to carry on a real
4, struggle, the Gompersists strive to
organize the workers only for the
purpose of negotiating collectively
with the employers. This policy OF
the Gompersist trade union leaders
preston in the public statements OF
union officials or in press articles
was very clearly demonstrated in a
feature article in the monthly journal
OF the metal polishers' international
union.

ers in his trade. SO as to obtain, thru

LAWRENCE. Mass, May 5.-More
than 500 textile workers have been
put on the streets with the closing OF
the Pemberton and 'Methuen cotton
mills OF Lawrence. Within the last
month employment here decreased
over is per cent according to Massa,
chusetts department Of labor figures
In Massachusetts, 81 per cent OF all
factories are operating on part time
or closed down entirely.

joint action, higher wages and better
conditions of labor No individual
worker, can gain these merely thru
his own unaided efforts. When an
employer deals with each of, say, 500
employees separately, he can easily
treat them without the proper spirit
of fairness. Thru collective negotia-
tions We have greater possibilities
for concluding agreements which may
result in more desirable relations be
tween capital and labor, and estab-
lish peace. Collective bargaining af-
fords the only practical means of bet
tering the relations between proprie-
tors and workers on tusiness-like
basis. 1t guarantees a square dear
to both Sides"
Several weeks ago the writer of
this article attended a meeting of
tailors called by the Journeymen
Tailors' Union, at which various ur.
ion leaders made propaganda speech
es to snow the necessity of orgauiz-
ing the workers. One organizer OF
the Journeymen Tailors' Union ii.
Chicago, had this to say: Should
any one tell you that the purpose o;
organization is TO carry on a struggle
for better conditions thru strikes. !,
me assure you he does not know what
= = talking about The aim of or
ganization is to avoid strikes of the
workers.
In Chicago" he further declared.
our union has had no strike for the
last Is years. Do you know why?
Simply because in Chicago we are or
| gained. When you are INORGANIC.
ed the boss sometimes takes advan-
tage of your position and treats you
SO badly that-you are forced to strike
When you are organized, however, the
boss is compelled to deal with you
differently, and the union can see to
1t that the situation leads to no
strike"
This is the "class" viewpoint of
the present leadership in all the I'M
ions of the needle trades. The work
ers must be organized only to the ex-
tent necessary for collective bargain
Ing with the employers. These lead
ers do not think of organization as
means Of building up working
class power, which can carry on a
struggle to maintain positions pre-
viously won and to achieve new gains.
We have no union leaders, concern
ed with educating the workers to
class-consciousness, and actually lead
ing them into the struggle for better
living conditions.
We have merely union mediators''
who seek only to curry favors from
the employers. 1t therefore often
happens that union leaders make
more effort to organize employers as
sociations than to strengthen the un.
ions of the workers.
Hence all the methods of organiza.
tion and struggle which they use have
led the unions into a swamp. III the
workers wish to escape from the
swamp, they must first understand
how injurious all the tactics are
which have been practiced to this
day.
We shall describe these tactics
more fully in the next article.
