The spirit at the conference was
fine and many delegates expressed
their interest and enthusiasm for
the movement. Short addresses were
made by three speakers, dealing with
the subject from different angles.
A resolution against the "immigra-
ton" bills discriminating against
foreign born workers was adopted.
A collection Of $3.50 was taken
and contribution lists were distrib-
uted. The delegates decided to start
vigorous campaign to raise 5000

Sunday, at the Labor Temple, at 2
Up. M, with Representative La
Guardia as the main speaker and sew
eral prominent local men, such as
Attorney Anthony Lucas. This
meeting is expected to give the
movement an excellent start.
The great interest in and need Of
council like this was also mani
tested by the numerous observers
from organizations that had not had
time to elect regular delegates. These
expressed sympathy with the cause
and will give favorable reports to
their organizations.

Open Shop Threat
Made by Operators
in Kentucky Field

Wage reductions threaten coal min
ers in western Kentucky, according to
information published for the benefit
of the trade in the coal and coke sec
tion Of the Chicago Journal of Com
merce. The suggested action by
operators in that region would add
mines producing nearly half million
tons a month to the non-union col
umn. Referring to attempts which
will be made by non-union forces TO
extend into what have been union
districts, the statement reads as
follows;
western Kentucky operators are
seriously considering adjusting the
miners wage scale in the Muhlenburg
union district to the 1917 level. I.
When the contract expires April /,
it is expected the producers will not
sign a new pact with the United
Mine Workers. The field produces
approximately 100000 tons a month
Zone or two operators in the Hop
kins County union district adjoining
Muhlenburg, where the contract with
the miners does not terminate until
April /, 1925, are understood to be
restless and are making attempts TO
operate open shop. One company, it
was declared, is planning TO bring
the wage down 40 per cent, which is
approximately twice as low as the
1917 scale. The field mines about
the same amount of coal month as

all bankrupts recorded by the. fed
eral courts. Then as business picked
up in 1922 and 1923 the number Of
bankruptcies among wage earners
fell back to 80 per cent Of the total
for all classes.
Farmers Have Relapse.
In the case of farmers the turn
for the worse did not come until
1921 when the defation of farmers
by the banking interests was in full
swing and the purchasing power of
agriculture was far DeIow that of
pre-war days. Between 1920 and
1921 the percentage of farmer bank
rupts to the total rose from 615 per
cent to 8 per cent, then in 1922 to
IA per cent and in 1923 to II per
cent.
The extent to which farmers and
wage earners have been harder hit
than the business classes by the war
and its aftermath is revealed in the
following figures which show the
percentage increase in the number
of bankruptcies among the various
classes since 1912; farmers and wage
earners, 1876 per cent; merchants,
1O3 per cent; bankers and manufac-
turers, 81 per cent, and profession
ais, II per cent. 1t is a startling
fact that seven times as many
farmer bankrupts were reported by
the attorney general for 1923 as for
1912.

Zinoviev's Speech to Leningrad Communists

this would mean nothing more nor
less than developing the germ Of a
secondary government.
The Party cannot permit this. The
very slightest division of power
means the decay of the proletarian
dictatorship. That we have been able
to withstand the enormous difficult
ties pressing down upon us from all
sides is solely due to the fact that
the Party has been homogeneous.
1t is frequently asserted that the
Tenth Congress IS to blame for all
the misfortunes which have been en-
countered by the Party. Why this
assertion? 1t was precisely the
Tenth Congress which recognized the
freedom of discussion and of consul
tations in the Party. It was this
same Tenth Congress which, how
ever, accepted the proposition made
by Comrade Lenin on the prohibition
of factions and groups. And it is
this which has been dispIeasing to
many.
The policy of the Tenth Congress
is the policy of Comrade Lenin. 1t
is, therefore, necessary to recognize
clearly that an attack is being made
against the foundations of Bolshevist
policy, against the principles Of Len
inism, against It's fundamental bal
ance as drawn by the Tenth Congress.
And thus the strictest dividing line
must be drawn between a freedom
Of discussion and consultation per-
mitted by the situation. and the lib
erty to form groups and factions.
Crritieism-Not Faetionalism.
It need not be said that this is
not to be so interpreted as if we
were going to designate every criti-
cism as faction-like. Not in the
slightest. By doing this we should
simply drive the comrades into fac
tions. Criticism is necessary, I'M
avoidable, and necessary. Those who
whine for "Party discipline" at every
breath of criticism, and want to train
up muzzled party, should be laugh
ed at and set aside. But factions
are not permissible.

for 20 years.
sNot Parliament Of Opinions"
During the period of the organic
development of the Second Interna-
tional such a state of affairs had
become regular rule. But when the
Comintern began to organize itself,
its first word was: What we now
want is not a parliament of opinions,
not an ANSWERS to correspondence"
but a leading organ, single Com
munist world organ, for we cannot
conquer the bourgeoisie in any other
way.
But the creation of single work
ers' Party means that we have to re-
nounce the liberty Of fractional
struggle.
In the Second international we
saw, at the Stuttgart Congress, Rose
Luxembourg and Lenin on the one
side, Bernstein, Jaures, and others,
on the other. This is Impossible for
the Third international, for we are
now in the midst of different epoch.
In exceptional cases there is now
and again a group struggle in the
Third International, but this is al
ways an exception.
We frequently prefer to cut away
a considerable portion of the Party,
as we did in Norway, in order to pre-
serve a really united and homogen-
eous Communist Party, and not a
parliament Of opinions" And we
do not act thus because we are in
love with centralism, but because the
present historical situation requires
that the political Party be cast in
one single piece, or it cannot con-
quer the bourgeoisie; without unity
it is condemned to decay.
Lenin's Policy.
Our Party is the soul of the gov
eminent. 1t is not necessary b 60
far to see this. Were we not in the
same party as the Mensheviki for
years, standing against them as a
faction? And now? Now we are
two classes, two worlds. If we now
approve of the formation Of separate
groups and factions within the Party
and allow these to act as they please,

which has given rise to some dis
agreement amongst us: the cultural
education of the non-partisan and
Party workers. Before entering into
this in detail, / should like to first
treat of two articles written by Com
made Sarkis, in one of which he is
right and in the other equally wrong.
In the question of the workers
democracy, the second ARTICLE is right
and the first wrong. Comrade Sar-
kis, whom we know and appreciate
as one Of our best functionaries,
working in one Of the most import
ant proletarian centers, has put the
question wrongly.
The general trend Of the article is
to the effect that no improvements
whatever are required in the Party or
ganization.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
this is not the case, for improvements
are very necessary. We are behind
hand in many respects with regard to
the workers democracy.
Under the new conditions we must
go over TO the system OF electlng the
organizations and nuclei from below.
The elections to the gouvernement
and district leading organizations
must be carried out more publicly.
Room For Improvement.
In Petrograd, too, there is room
for Improvement in the Party organi-
cation.
With reference to the question Of
cultural education, am in agree
ment with Comrade Sarkis. have
stated that our collectives in the
provinces are invariably ahead of the
non-partisan masses, if only for the
reason that they constitute a part
of the whole Party, and this works
on organized lines, possesses a pro-
gram, tactics, tradition, history,
but that we sometimes observe, in
the sphere of culture, in intercourse
with one another, and in economic
matters, that a part of our Party
functionaries are in certain respects,
behind many of the non-partisans.

GROWING RIC H
1923 Is a Banner Year
for Bankrupts
BY LELAND OLDS
Federated Press Industrial Editor

" cucia aleu- TfeSS INDUSTRIAL EdltOr)
More wage earners and farmers
were declared bankrupt by federal
courts during the year ending June
80, 1923, than in any one OF the pre-
vious II years, according to the an
nual report of the attorney Of the
United States. The number of fail
ures among those who actually pro.
duce the goods was probably greater
during 1923 than in any year in the
history of the country.
Bankruptcies among all classes,
including merchants, manufacturers,
professional and others, also reached
record breaking proportions during
1928. The total number declared
bankrupt by the courts amounted to
4,401 while the total liabilities
amounted to $486, 400,908 The year
nearest approaching this in the
amount of liabilities was 1917 with
total of 323,557,441.
The official figures show that
10,261 wage earners and 5,945 farm
ers were adjudged bankrupt during
1923. In other words these two
groups of producers furnished over
AZ per cent OF all the bankrupts in.
the federal court records. This rep
resents a very material increase as
compared with pre-war years in the
proportion coming from these two
classes. During the five years 1912
to 1916 inclusive farmers and wage
earners supplied less than 35 per
cent of all the bankruptcies.

clared bankrupt and also the total

NEARING BESTS
PETRUNKEvITCH
IN RUSS DEBATE
Audience Votes 6 to |
for Recognition

NEW HAVEN, March by a
vote of six to one, an audience which
thronged Music Hall, voted in favor
of the recognition of Soviet Russia,
by the United States, after listening
to a debate between Scott Nearing,
of New York, and Alexander Pc
trunkeyitch, professor of zoology at
Yale, whose father was leader Of
the old Duma.
Nearing showed by means of a
huge economic map suspended from
the stage, how all the European
countries are dependent upon one an
other. He proved that the present
economic chaos in Europe is largely
due to the still existing boycott of
Soviet Russia by surrounding capital
istic nations. The capitalists have
realized their mistake, he declared,
and now nineteen nations have given
Soviet Russia recognition.
Coolidge and Russia.
president Coolidge said," Near
ing stated, chat whenever there ap-
pear works mete for repentance our
country ought to be the first to go
TO the economic and moral rescue of
Russia" Coolidge declared that en-
couraging evidence Of Russia's re-
turn to the ancient ways Of society
can be detected.
"These ancient ways suggest once
more the exploitation of Russia by
the French coal operators, the Ger.
man bankers, British and American
oil magnates and Nikolas Romanoff.
1t means that we are asked to look
at the world thru the eyes of Lodge
and Root and be content, rather than
look at world which holds, in the
fifty years to come, such immense
changes for the better as mankind
has never experienced"
~. S. Free'-Hal Hal
When Professor Petrunkevitch,
who had declared that he was for
the people of Russia but against its
present rulers, characterized the
United States as the land of the
free, the audience, which jammed the
largest hall in town, jeered repeat
edly.
Nearing pointed out that the
Frenchman whom the French plati-
mum trust had sent into Russia to
ferret out production secrets was an
economic spy.
Besides eight hundred workers
who were present when Chairman
Alfred Wagenknecht opened the
meeting, over four hundred Yale
students attended. The meeting was
under the auspices Of the Workers
Party. Six hundred and thirty-two
voted for recognition Of the Russian
government, and only 81 against, the
rest Of the audience not voting.

zINovIEv CONTINUES.

THERE IS still another limitation
i put on the workers democracy,
the fact that we inhibit the formation
of groups and factions within the
Party. We often hear the words: We
demand freedom Of discussionl when
what is meant in reality is: We de-
mand freedom to form factionsl
The liberty to form groups-has
this anything to do with the prin-
ciples Of the workers democracy?
Yes, certainly it has much to do with
it. A pure workers democracy de-
mands the freedom to forn groups
within the Party, for if it is really
the case that 1--WE are all equal" if
we really possess "full' democracy,
then | naturally have the right to
gather around me those who think
as do, and to weld them together,
etc.
The freedom of faction existed at
the time of the Second International.
There were two or three groups fight :
ing within almost every social demo-
cratic party.
Lenin and Rosa Luxembourg were
ony one faction in the Second Inter
national, its left faction. And it was
the same, on an international scale,

The proportion OF wage carriers IN
the bankrupt column rose sharply
from 81 per cent in 1916 to "a per
cent in 1918 undoubtedly rejecting
the fact that wages were tagging
far behind the rapidly mounting cost
Of living. There is another sharp
rise marking the coming Of indus
trial depression in 1921 when wage
earners represented 80 per cent OF
