capitalism, and reached the first mile
stone on the road of working class
emancipation, the Soviet Government
of Russia.
1t is not us, as individuals, that our
enemies hate, it is our program.
NOV, brothers, what is 1t in our
IN program that has caused this
brain-storm among our labor takers?
First, we. advocated a united from
campaign against child labor. You
say, so do we. Yes, we admit you are
for the child labor amendment. But,
brothers, did it ever strike you, that
it is meaningless without government
maintenance of the children of IT,
plotted workers and poor farmers? Is
it not due to the starvation wages
paid those workers and farmers. tina
forces them to drive their children
into the mills, mines, and fields, in or
der to raise the family wage to a level,
where they can supply themselves
with the most meager existence of
life?
The workers cannot afford to keep
their children in school up to the age
Of eighteen, they have not got the
price. We say, it is the duty of the
working class to force our govern
ment to levy taxation upon profits
and high incomes, to raise the funds
necessary for government mainten
ance Of the workers and poor farm
ers' children while in school.
NKIE advocate work or wages for the
Wv unemployed. Why are the work
ers frequently thrown into the streets
by the millions, why are they depriv-
ed of their right to earn their daily
bread, in this land of the "free"? Be-
cause when the parasites who own the
means and tools of production and dis
tribution, cannot find a market for the
wealth that the workers produce, and
when there is no immediate prospect
for another imperialist blood-bath to
drown few million unemployed wage
slaves in, they close the industry.
They are not concerned about our well
fare, or the welfare Of our children.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-02-21

They are only concerned about safe
guarding their profits.
CAPITALIST production, is the
~ cause of unemployment, it takes
away from the workers the right to
work. Therefore, we advocate unior
wages for the unemployed, to be paid
by the owners of industry. That is
not charity. We should not ask for
charity. We should fight for our right
to live, for the right to work, and the
right to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Next to our program is amalgama-
ton of our out-of-date craft unions
into Industrial unions. This campaign
that we are waging in the trade union
movement for more modern, more mil
liant and progressive forms of organ
ization and methods in our everyday
struggle for shorter hours, better
wages, and working conditions, is an
exigency, that has ben forced upon
us by the rapid changes that have,
and are, constantly taking place in
our mode Of production and distribu-
ton, rendering our forms Of organiza-
ton obsolete.
XkIHETHER you want to or not, you
NV cannot stop the forces of evolu-
ton. You are pushed toward new
forms Of organization or else you have
to go backwards, you cannot stay
still, stagnation means degeneration
and death.
To expect the working class to be
victorious in their fights for better
working conditions, better wages,
shorter hours, ETC., against those pow
erful capitalist industrial organiza-
tons with their present out-of-date
craft unions, it is too silly to even
seriously consider. The capitalists
know this, that is why they fight the
Workers Community Party and its
program savagely, for fear that the
workers may learn our program and
organize revolutionary industrial un.
ions.

dience that all precautions are being
taken against any disturbance.
Vladeck took the chair and express
ed himself as one of those socialists
who don't always worry about social

we have holiday, all other times we
are too busy, busy with our business

dience was ordered to stand up but
only some Of the audience stood up
and they felt very uncomfortable be-
cause It is not pleasant to stand for
somebody when You notice most Of
the people remain in their seats and
they Immediately sat down again.
Abramovich started his infamous
address and told the audience that he
was sent by the workers OF Russia to
tell the American people the truth
about Russia and that they are being
terribly oppressed. Immediately the
selected audience began telling Abram
oyich that he is lying and the police
and sluggers were on the job. using

ice tried to stop the applause by hit

the applause was kept up until they
were forced to play the Marsellaise to
quiet the crowd.
LIE then made another attempt and
l there was disturbance from all
over the hall, cries of "ceunter-revo
lutionist," "liar." and many other such
pleasant remarks.
Then Abramovich started to yell.
Committee, I can't speak," and the
committee, who consisted OF thugs ano
police, got on the job again and club
bed everybody within reacn. Those
that put up any resistance were
thrown into the patrol wagons that
were in readiness and taken to the pol
ice station where they were registered
and put into cell. Il took about $50

locked up.
The comrades who were not arrest
ed were on the job getting comrades
out as soon as possible and when we
were sentenced to either ten days or
$3.50 or five days or $3.50, the COM
rades who were waiting outside be-
cause they were not permitted to stay
in emptied their pockets and within
an hour or so all those who were ar
rested at the socialist meeting were
released including some nom Workers
Party members who were also ar
rested.
THOSE who were non-party men,
bers were very appreciatfve when
they noticed that altho they were not
party members they were taken out
by Communists and also pointed out
that now they see the difference be-
tween the Communists and socialists.
! am sure that many of those mill
tant workers who stayed out from the
Workers Party will now see the
necessity Of Joining the Workers
Party in order to carry on the strug-
gle not only against the capitalists,
but also against the betrayers who
belong to the socialist party and
who are now known as betrayers
OF the working class all over the
world.

sacred principle is the inalienable
rights of it's members to defend them
selves when on trial. and in conform
fly with the constitution of the A. f.
of L. have right to demand it, and
you if sincere, should net deny me
that privilege. Since my defense will
be based upon my own judgment, up
on conditions as l see and understand
them, and because you intend to con.
vict me, according. 10 your own judy
ment, feeling, passion, or prejudices,
you cannot be consistent when you
deny me the sams privileges, that you
ask for, and exercise yourself. When
you deny me this right, you yourself
should be placed on trial for having
violated the constitution and princi-
pies you pretend to uphold.
TO me this trial is not joke, it is
1 a serious matter. Charged with
fighting against the interest of my
class, concerns me more, than any
other charge, no matter how grave.
Permit me to say this is the first
time, during my eighteen years of
humble, activity in the labor move
ment, yes, say the revolutionary la
beramoVement, in several countries,
that such charges have ever been
placed against me. But am not con-
cerned about myself as an individual,
but only concerned about the interest
of the working class, about the inter
est of the organization of which am
a member. / am proud of being a
member Of the Workers (Communist)
Party.
THE members of this organization
1 are fighting every day courage
ously, both in and outside of the trade
union movement, in the interest of the
workers. An organization which is oc-
cupying the front line trenches, and
are the vanguards and working class
shock troops, in the bitter class strug-
gle between the workers and their
enemiess the. CAPITALIST class and their
hired thugs, gunner, and stool pig

nothing in it for us, in our struggle for

ton. Yes, brothers, the workers
struggle is our struggle, and it is
hard road to travel, a stony one, full
OF persecution, hardships, imprison.
ment firing squads and torture. 1t is
road full of the bones of the victims
of several epochs of slavery, and
struggle, the bones of heroes of work

bankrupt craft union policy, because
Of your failure to organize Industrial
ly. You must organize industrially IL
you are to preserve the labor move
ment. When you begin to amalga-
mate your craft unions into Industrial
unions, based upon the revolutionary
class struggle, you will begin to
travel the road to victory, to real
power.
It is true that such amalgamation
would cause many of our labor takers
to lose their fat ten thousand dollar
a year jobs, and that, they resent.
They would rather keep their ten
thousand dollar jobs, and let the Ia
Dor movement go to hell, than to give
up those jobs and help the workers in
improving their forms of organization.
That is why they are fighting us. and
in that fight, the capitalist class sup
ports them. That is why they want
to expel us, and let me tell you,
brothers, that this expulsion of the
most active members in the trade I'M
ion movement is the united front pol
icy with the enemies of the workers.
NkTE are not only concerned with
wv the immediate everyday ques-
lions only, but we also know that the
workers will never solve their prob
lens permanently until they have de-
stroyed the cause Of their misery.
Just as true as it is that you cannot
cure yourself of any sickness, until
you have discovered and removed the
cause of that sickness, just as true is
it that you will not be able to escape
new imperialist blood-baths, new per
iods of starvation, and unemployment,
until you have destroyed its economic
cause, namely, our present system of
society that boasts of it's christian
principle, of it's civilization, culture
and capitalist democracy, but is in re-
atty based upon profit, and murder.
DEMEMBER, that the deliveration
IN of America from British imperial
ism was not done by the ballot-box
which is an Illusion fostered to safe
guard the political state OF capitalist
dictatorship, but was accomplished by
revolution. How about the chattel
slavery question? Was that settled by
legislation, by the ballot-box? No, it
was settled by civil war. The entire
human history is In evidence, that no
ruling class ever gave up its usurped
power, its privileges. its parasitical
existence without a struggle to the
bitter end. The climax OF the probe
tartan class struggle is the social
revolution, the instrument that de-
stroys a system. that fails to satisfy
the needs Of the people. Our slogan,
