UNITY OF WORLD
COMMUNISTS

Unity of the German Communist
movement with the Communist Inter-
national now in session in Moscow
is shown in the following report Of
the recent Frankfort Congress of the
Communist Party of Germany.
The Communist international sees
the vital Importance of the Germany
Communist Party which is now lead
ing the revolutionary movement in
that great industrial country Of cen
trail Europe. The statement made by
Comrade Ivanov of the executive com
mittee of the Communist Internation-
al which is here given is Of import
ance.
Frankfort Conference Of the c. P.
REPORT OF CONFERENCE.
The. conference Of the commun-
ist Party Of Germany was held
under illegal conditions during the
second week Of April. Following
upon a thorough-golng discussion,
resolution on 1.-THE immediate tasks
of the Communist Party Of Ger
many" was adopted unanimously
and an executive was elected whose
members were almost exclusively
representative Of the left wing. On
publishing this resolution, "De Rote
Fahne" was prohibited for ten days.
We give below the first instalIment
Of a report Of this conference which
Is Of supreme Importance for the
entire international proIetarlat.
Ed.
Before the agenda was submitted to
the meeting the provisional chairman
made the following declaration
I'VE who are gathered here today
solemnly caT to mind the tremendous
loss that the entire proletariat of the
world has recently suffered in the
death of Lenin, the leader of Com
munism. (The delegates rise from
their seats) We feel the magnitude
Of the loss even more than do our
Russian comrades because we are
struggling along new paths, seeking
new directions. But if Lenin be dead,
Leninism survives and is spreading
itself everywhere amongst the prole-
tariat Of the world, everywhere where
the exploited and the oppressed are
to be found.

1.-THE RESULTS OF THE PEG
RIA CONVENTION ARE SATISFAC-
TORY TO ME- IN EVERY RESPECT
SAVE ONE" So starts an article by
President Harrington in the June Z is
sue of the Illinois Miner, the official
organ of District IL, United Mine
Workers of America. 1t continues:
"The appointive power Of your Presi-
dent should not have been abolished
and would not have been abolished
had It not been for the fact that the
delegates came Instructed to do this
very thing"
After going at great length to say
that the instructed delegates consti-
tuted jury, pledged to render GER
tain verdict regardless of the evil
dence in the case, he begins to tell
of the accomplishments Of the men he
has appointed. For some of the men
Harrington refers to, it is quite pos
sible that the. miners back home
would say the same thing, and, if such
is the case, there need be no fear on
the part of anyone that they will not
be returned, but if such is not the
case then the verdict will be rendered
accordingly.
Didn't Want to Lose It.
However, it is hard to understand
how a person can feel so put out at
the loss of this so-called burden and
at the same time fight so desperately
to retain it. At the convention sec
ond fight had to be put up by the dele
gates to take away the Appointive
Power and when it is considered that
this was necessary, after winning the
fight so overwhelmingly in the first
encounter, then having to convince

END our days by spilling on us some
death-rays-that is, well surely get
1t worst unless we catch the other
first. Another modern way to kill
a bunch of deadly germs we'll SPILL
that is TO say, unless our foe sends
bombs controlled by radio which
bring about our quick decease before
our germs we can release-unless we
first should stir his ire by pouring
ON him liquid fire-unless he caught
us on the hip and from a ponderous
airship poured clouds of deadly gases
down to kill all living in our town,
II two emergencies should meet
they might accomplish the sad feat
OF blotting out all living trace Of this
alleged peace-loving race.
think the youth, on land and sea,
who meet the next emergency will
wish before the end is gained that old
style war had been retained, and,
quoting Shakespeare awfully well,
say; war by any name is hell"

day Somers has failed to convince
anyone that harrington did not tell
the truth on that occasion.
Today the ever-smiling Joe is an
appointee, serving on some sort Of
commission and he never hesitates
to say that he is for harrington 100
per cent. This reminds me that Far
rington, in his article, says that poll
tics make strange bed fellows" and in
that statement l am forced to agree
with him, as l also am in the follow
ing one that he makes to the effect
that politics and efficiency are rare
ly found sleeping in the same bed"
The thing that puzzles the miners tho,
is why the miners union should be
managed in accordance with rules laid
down by business institutions, as de-
handed by harrington. All that they
can see from big business methods is
no work with the resultant misery and
starvation.
Workers To Act.
That is true in Illinois and in every
other state where coal is mined, out
with the change already made in ILL
nois as well as in Kansas and with
the subsequent changes yet to be
made, Big Business will be knocked
into cooked hat and the workers will
begin to look after themselves. This
will be done in spite Of the fact that
that officials of the miners union per
sist in supporting the political nomi
nees of big business. The men who
make up the vast army Of members Of
the miners union will not only take
control of the union, but when they
do, they will use this economic arm
to build a political one and with both
they will announce the advent OF the
day when the suffering Of the work
ers is ended.

G. is also fully cognizant OF the psy-
Geological reaction that this defeat
has effected among the members OF
the Party generally.
In the theses submitted by the left
wing majority of the conference the
principles o. which were thoroughly
discussed with the representatives Of
the e. c., it was established that
The German Revolution has Survived,
and that new revolutionary wave is
to be expected in the near future. But
at the same time the possibility of a
slow development is also to be reck-
oned with.
In either case the leadership of the
German Party is confronted with diff
culties of the drst magnitude, difficult
ties. which would exist for any other
group which took over the leadership,
In the trade union question, especial
ly, the Party is confronted with de-
cisions of most momentous char
acter. Large sections of the workers
have left the old unions and are reso-
lutely clamoring for the creation OF
new industrial organizations. Such
new revolutionary industrial organiza-
tions, moreover, will impose heavy OBJ
legations upon the party and the
workers will not be slow in imposing
these obligations The e. G. has
therefore given the closest attention
to this problem, and in view of the
fact that it is of international, as we'll
as of national Importance, follows the
development with greatest concern.
Unlimited Support.
The E. G. herewith declares that
The new executive of the Party will
receive the unlimited support of the
e. c. The E. c. appeals to the minor
ity of the conference to render broth
erly support to the new leadership.
The E. c. will not tolerate any at
tempt to undermine the authority of
the new leadership of the Party.
For the first time in the Comintern
the left wing undertakes the leader
ship of big party. There is the dan
ger from the very outset that right
wing groups will take advantage of
the first false step of the lew leader
ship to launch an attack against it.
For this reason it is incumbent upon
this conference to put an end to the
formation of groups and create a
united Communist Party.
Harmonious Agreement.
The E. c. appeals to the conference
majority to work in the most harmo-
NOUS agreement with the Comintern

ance has been formed between the
German and the Russian Parties. The
Russian Party is fitted to enter upon
such an alliance, not only because Of
the seizure of power in October, 1917.

party discussion found it more firmly
consolidated than ever. In January the

many comrades who sacrificed them
selves in the streets of Hamburg. In
the crisis of last October they were
alone in blazoning forth the revo-
lutionary aspirations of the working
class. They took up the fight and
met their death in the belief that the
last and final struggle with the Ger
man capitalists had arrived. 1t re-
mains our task to ensure that this
hope of theirs will very shortly be
realized
1--WE would also call to mind the
thousands of our comrades incarcer-
ated in German prisons, who are
thereby unable to participate in the
discussions at our conference but who
otherwise would certainly be with us.
Especially do our thoughts turn to
Comrades Urbans, Stetter, Schneck
and Pfeiffer, who are only prevented
by class justice from taking part in
our deliberations.
After the agenda had been drawn
up, the opening speech was delivered
by
The representative Of the {. c., Com
rade Nanov.
On behalf Of the E. G. of the Com
intern and the c. c., of the c. P. R.
Comrade Ivanov welcomed the Confer
ence and hoped that it would accom-
plish fruitful work. The revolution in
Germany would not take the same
course as in russia. In Russia one
of the driving forces of the revolution
was the contrast that existed between
the land monopoly of the big land
owners and the land hunger Of the
millions Of poor peasants. The c. P.
r. offered peace to the masses of the
peasantry that were serving as sol
diers in the trenches. 1t thereby re
ceived the support Of these masses
whose numbers ran into millions. In
Germany, on the other hand, Scheide-
mann's party, the party which had
conducted the war, was able to de.
ceive the German proletariat into the
belief that it was the party that brot
peace. Thus the German proletariat
has suffered itself to be lead along a
long and sorrowful path to Golgotha
The E. c. and the c.. of the C. P. G
recognizes that the trend the revolu-
ton has taken in Germany places the
c. P. G. before extraordinary Difficult
ties. These difficulties have been in
creased by the big blunders that were
made by the majority of the Central
Committee and which contributed to
the great defeat in October. The E

The Legion's major Duty"

Well Commander John Quinn of the American
Legion is lust now telling the world that 1--WE will
consider it cur major duty to have universal
service law passed. If we were sympathetic folks
we'd shed some tears for the militarists troubles
It's cruelty hard to get folks to fight for somebody
else,s dough any more-so hard that the million
aire doughboys of the American Legion who are
too proud to fight in dirty trenches themselves
get the itch of a "major duty" to make someone
else fight.
Tonight we shall listen in on the radio to hear
whether the other ravening gunpowder eater,
George L. Berry, Quinn's vicecommander, isn't
proclaiming a "major duty" ALSO George got un
der the colors somewhere about November IL
191S-over on this side of the pond.
Probably if George is considered good enough
strikebreaker to pull big scab vote as vice presl
dental candidate with Billy McAdoo, Well hear
more about this universal service stuff in the com
ing campaign And the pacifsts whom the Legion
aires are so busy fighting, since they got dlscour
aged with trying to break up union halls after
Centralia. will view with alarm
Over in Russia the pacifsts used to view uni
versa military training with alarm too. They saw
unmitigated tragedy in the fact that 1.-THE ham
mer was wrenched out of the hand OF the worker
and the gun put into it instead"
The Russian workers suddenly found out wh'
their real enemy was. The result is revolutionar.
HISTORY But Commander Quinn and his ilk don
read history or see the handwriting on the wal
of capitalist society.

Loyalty and Profits

The DAILY WORKER exposure of speed up
methods in the Western Electric plant has re-
vealed how large corporations at little or no cost
to themselves keep their employees working for
years at small wages by pointing out the adj
vantages of the pension and sick and death BEN
efts.
Employees of large industrial plants turn down
offers of better salaries from other firms simply
to complete their term of service and collect pen
sion money. But often as in the Western Elec-
trio company, the men after working twenty and
thirty years, are discharged some pretended
breach of discipline. These discharged employees
are unable to collect one cent of the pension
money due them.
The Western Union Telegraph company, mem
Der of the Electric Trust which includes the West
ern Electric, makes the employees pay monthly
dues thus placing the entire expense of the pen
sions and sick and death benefits on the employees.
In the Western Electric company, as in many
other industrial plants, after the death of work
ers with long and faithful years of service, the
families are unable to collect the policy from the
company.
Another concern, employing several thousand
men, the Morris and Company packers, has just
been charged with non-payment of pension funds.
Twenty-four former employees of the Morris pack
ing company in bringing suit for the payment Of
sion idea to keep the men on the job, at low
salary.
The Morris company used the amalgamation
with the Armour Packing company in 1909 as an
excuse for lodging their obligation to the en-
ployes The packing employees charged on the
witness stand that the Morris packing company
managers kept them from accepting jobs at higher
salaries by telling them, "You owe it to your
family to guarantee them the comforts Of life when
Won are too old to work" Most of these men are
now jobless and penniless
These pension systems are controlled by com
pany officials. The money is paid out, according
to the bosses pension plan, at the discretion OF
committee of the officers of the company.
Following out their usual policy of cutting down
the cost of production, the Welfare department OF
the Western Electric, and the legal departments
of the other industrial plants pay the pensions
only when they are unable to wiggle out OF the
obligation thru some legal technically. The many
legal ways Of refusing payment of these policies
are left in the pension plans, which are drawn up
and run by the companies themselves.
Therefore it does not pay an employe to be too
IIoyaI AS long as the wage slave produces profit
above the wage he receives he is kept on Anything
that its into the bosses profits such as sick and
death benefit or pension, is violently resisted by
the company stockholders
