are only revolutionary takers, then
we will never destroy the bourgeois or
der, then we will never seriously gain
the majority Of the workers. Here
is not the place to joke, we do not
believe in the truth Of the words OF
Representative Of the Schumacher
policy, who says: I'VE do not advo-
cate leaving the trade unions"
What Schumacher proposes is moth.
ing else than policy of secession,
and effectively his meaning is; Out
Of the labor movement as 1t now is,
with all its weaknesses, and that
means: Out Of the working class as
it is. We do not wish to make our
selves any illusions: We cannot form
our own great trade unions in Ger.
many. Even If we could form them,
we could not carry on a successful
economic campaign with them; and If
we wanted to do so, we should lose
it. The result would be that the
workers who are fleeing from the
unions would stream back to the So
cial democrats.
Cherish no illusions! The workers
councils represent a new form, but
the trade unions remain even after
the revolution, as we have seen from
the Russian example. The soviets are
a new revolutionary form of-the labor
movement, but you cannot create
them every day; they can only be
formed when revolution stands at the
door. The real form Of the present
labor movement, which Marx and
Lenin valued as such, is the trade
union movement with all it's faults
and weaknesses, and with all the adj
vantages which it offers to social de-
mocracy.
Absolute clarity must be reached on
this question. If Schumacher does not
give way, then he can no longer be-
long to the Comintern. If he unites
10000 workers to lead them out of
the unions, to take them away from
the united front tactics, he robs US
of 10000 class fighters, instead of
throwing them into the scale against
the social democrats. At best he
neutralizes, splits them off, and makes
them into an enemy force over against
us.
There Can Be No Question of MAR
rage" with the Amsterdamers.
Now the second question, what is
to be our attitude to the Amsterdam
international Federation of Trade
Unions? In my opinion, this ques-
ton is of secondary significance.
Comrade Bordiga maintains here, that
the plan of certain negotiations with
the Amsterdamers would give the
whole movement an extreme right"

HOOPER THREATS
ABOUT CONTEMPT
ACTION CONTINUE
Union Chiefs Decline to
Put in an Appearance

Steps to institute contempt proceed
ings thru the Federal Court will be
taken by the United States Labor
Board against the officers Of the Lo-
connective Firemen and Engineers for
their failure to appear at recent
hearing of the board to testify In
their wage controversy. This state
ment was made to the DAILY
WORKER by Ben w. Hooper, chair
man Of the Labor Board.
About ten weeks ago the brother
hoods of Locomotive Firemen and
Engineers of No. IS comprising all
the big railways Of the West and
Southwest put in demand for wage
increase similar to that received by
the men employed on the Eastern
roads. Instead of the railroad com
pany taking the matter up with the
men it was referred to labor board
appointed by the United States gov
eminent much to the dissatisfaction
of the union. To date nothing def
mite has come out Of the contro-
versy.
A few days ago the board resumed
hearings in the controversy and
called upon committee Of the repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of
which Warren S. Stone, president of
the International Brotherhood of
Firemen was one of the members to
appear to testify,
Only the representatives of the
railroads were present the side repre-
senting the union declining to appear.

aires and the lynching OF an |. w. w.
ex-service man in CentraliaS on Ar
mistice Day, 1919.
1t is known that numerous mem
bers of the Legion are smarting over
nationwide publicity now being given
to the Centralia affair. Many of them
feel that their Organization ought to
make an exhaustive inquire into this
case and place the blame for the five
killings exactly where it belongs.
Last February the Spokane Daily
Chronicle announced that DR.. Robert
Farley Of that city, district COM
mander Of the Legion, would call for
immediate investigation of serious
charges, including an allegation that
the American Legion had participated
in creating an atmosphere of terror
at the trial of the Centralia case
which caused the jury to convict
eight /. w. w. members whom they
knew were innocent of numbering
Lieut.. Warren Grimm. But apparent
ly no such investigation was ever
made, or if 1t was made no publicity
was given to the official findings.
Refused Speech Permit.
Elmer Smith recently sought a
permit to speak on the streets here
concerning the Centralia case. Police
Chief Frederick Rocker refused to
grant his request. Smith spoke. how
ever, in a hall on two nights. His
audiences necessarily were smaller
there, rival attractions being staged
in town on both evenings. He served
notice that he would come back later

new YORK'S JOBS

IN ALL INDUSTRY

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-Factory
unemployment continued downward
during August, according to the report
of industrial commissioner Bernard
L. Shientag of the state department
of labor. The manufacturing of build
ing materials was seriously curtailed
and threw brick makers, workers in
cement mills, cut stone yards, paint,
lumber and house trim plants out Of
work. There was slight increase
in employment in the woodworking in
dustries, furniture and piano-making.
Contrary to manufacturers state
ments that the New York silk mills
had been profitting by the Paterson
strike, the commissioner reports that
1000 silk workers were laid of. Eight
percent more of the knitting mills
workers were thrown out of work
The working forces in the cotton mills
of the state were little more than half
of the number working last year dur
ing the summer months.
No Jobs Available
The shirt and collar factories in the
Troy district cut their working STATS
further during the month. There were
no gains in other lines of work in this
area to Offset the unemployment
figures of the commissioner and the
workers themselves find that they
can do little more than marx time un-
I'll their employers see iit to reopen
the factories. No other jobs are avail
able.
In New York City the clothing in
dustry has been slow in reviving and
many workers are still out of work.
The fur workers are finding great diff.
ficulty in getting jobs. Shipyards let
out 700 men. Fewer workers we're
left employed in the brass and copper
mills and in the auto parts manufac-
turing plants. The packing plants and
stockyards cut their working stan.
More biscuit makers were laid off.
Shoe workers around Binghampton,
most of them employed by the Endi-
cott-Johnson concern and totally un-
organized, lost work also during the
month. Shoe workers OF Rochester
managed to hold their own. But on
the whole the situation for the work.
ers all over the state is not yet bright
ening None Of the big political Ares
have fooled the workers into seeing a
dawn yet, but the campaigns are
just beginning.

I'm the third installment Of the
speech Of Gregory zinoviev on the
trade union question, delivered at
the Fifth Congress of the Commu-
mist International, he takes up the
question Of international unity of
the trade union movement. "All the
problems and tactical difficulties of
the Comintern in the last five
years." he says. "are due to the fact
that the development went on much
more slowly than we had thot."
That is the factor in the situation
which is ignored by those impatient
ones, rebuked by zinoviev, who
want new tactic for the trade UNI
ion question:.
The German party must be abso-
lutely clear on this question. We can
forgive many mistakes, but this ques.
ton can become a milestone about
our necks; then where we should
swim, this stone will drag us to the
bottom, we may perish, if we have no
clear understanding on this question.
If the representative of the Schulz
macher tendency maintains that he
speaks in the name of 10000 COM
rades, that makes sort of local pa
triotism, and we know these local iso-
lated unions from the time of Legien,
at that time the same number was
mentioned.
We hope that of these 10000, 10 900
will go with the Communist Interna-
tional when 1t has chosen fixed line.
With the rest we must part for a time,
we can make no concessions. Schulz
macher is also soldier of the revo.
luton; the party has decided that he
must carry this decision thru, not
only in form but in practice. l do
not think that the German party will
put up with Schuhmacherism for long
Schumacher and his followers say:
We also do not preach leaving the
trades unions, we also do not say
OOAuC OuL VI lnC LIduOb we
only % advocate the formation of in
dependent unions, and the watch-word
of the Industrial Unions" We be-
lieve that the party must support this
watch-word Us that so? Does
Schumacher think us so simple that
he believes we do not know what it is
about, if he says it in different words?
He wants to bring us before such
facts as will disturb the line of the
party in the trade union question.
Back to the Trade Unlonsl
We must collect those workers who
have left the unions with the one
watchword: "Back to the trade un.
Ions! Yes! Back to the reactionary,

Never Reads Lattcr's Papers. He Says, But Is Forced to Comment on Certain Editorial.

Albany, N. r., July 24.-Governor Smith today issued formal reply to the letter of William Randolph Hearst, published in the Sunday morning editions of the Hearst New York newspapers and which urged the democrats of New York state to work for the nomination of Lieuten- ant-Governor George E. Lunn for the party's gubernatorial candidate in the primary campaign.
 II do not read any Of MT. Hearsts s papers," the governor said in his statement, because they arc not al- lowed in the executive mansion or in any of the public offices of the state, but my attention has been called to Sundays edition because it contained a signed letter from Mr Hearst in which he undertakes to advise the democratic party. He attempts to say something about water power. He has no more understanding Of that sub ject than the man in the moon ] am sure that the democratic party will admire his literary effort, but it has not any use for his advice, When it needs advice, it will go 10 democrats for it, and not to either dcmagogue or crackpot."
