EMIGRES EXPOSE

Especial to The Daily wOrker)

MOSCOW, Oct. 81. R. Am
Tifis a numerous group Of Partisan
emigrants who have left the ranks
of the mensheTik party has arrived
The members were greeted heartily.
The emigrants, amongst them men,
bers of is and 20 years standing in
the menshevik party, declared that
they could no longer reconcile the
policy Of the Georgian emigrant lead
ers with proletarian honesty and they
therefore preferred to return and take
part In the socialist reconstruction of
their country instead of serving as
the instruments Of irresponsible con-
spirative intrigues Of the emigrant
leaders supported by the International
bourgeoisie.
The returned told how Giordiani
and Tseretelh and their followers use
all methods including denunciations
to the Partisan police, to smother the
spirit amongst the Georgian emf
grants towards a return to Georgia.
Marseilles Hears Issue.
The workers group amongst the
Georgian emigrants requested the
Marseilles congress Of the Second In
ternational to appoint a commission
to go into the question of the present
relations between it and the emigrant
leaders. The congress, however, left
the request unnoticed, for it had the
effect of drawing the attention of the
congress to the counter-revolutionar
degeneration Of the Georgian social
democracy. The group directed itself
also to the league for human rights
and to the national conference of the
French social-democratic party with
the like result.
The teachers delegation, at present
in Tiais which is studying both the
cultural and political situation of the
country, had a long discussion with
the returned emigrants from Paris.

that altho the workers are getting
12.48o more in wages they are turning
out a product for which their employ
ers receive from POO ts $50 more
than they received a. year ago. Labor
is producing from 10 to 116 more
value per 81 of wages than it did in
Aug. 1924. This explains the higher
profits which are being noted in a
majority Of the financial reports this
year.

Production Higher Than Last Year
These gains reflect an increase in
production over August, 1924 reported
by the federal reserve board as 1870.
Factories were averaging $40 Of full
time in August, 1925, compared with
$3.50 in 1924 and $50 of full force this
year compared with 1870 a year ago.
But production must go still higher
to bring full employment. The 1870
over 1924 is still 1870 under August
1923. Employment is still 1919 below
the level of August, 1928, and total
wage payments are so lower.
Combining wholesale price figures
with production figures it appears

The Workers Government and the
Overthrow of Capitalism.
In proposing the above demands the
Workers Party points out that even
such elementary demands of the
workers can only be realized and
maintained through the establishment
of a workers government. We propose
them, not as a complete expression of
the aims of the working class, but as
an expression of their most element
tary needs, knowing that the workers,
in struggling for these demands, will
inevitably came to understand that
they cannot be realized and maintain
ed under capitalism, but only through
overthrow Of the capitalist system, the
establishment of a government of
workers and poor farmers and the
adoption by this government of such
measures as will lead toward the in
PRODUCTION of a communist system Of
society. To this full program the
Workers (Comniunist) Party is
pledged.
In calling upon the workers of this
city to support the candidates of the
Workers (Communist) Party, we
once more point out that they must
choose between candidates that re-
present their class interests and those
who directly or indirectly help to
maintain the capitalist system. The
two parties of big business stand d.
rectly for capitalism, for wage slavery,
for government by Injunction, for the
open shop, for poverty, ignorance and
misery for the workers, and for
wealth and senseless luxury for the
capitalist.
The socialist party which also calls
for working class support in this
election and pretends to be a party of
the workers, is, in reality, a pacifist
social reform party most dangerous to
the workers because it destroys their
fighting spirit, is the ally OF the labor
bureaucrats who are wrecking the
unions, sponsors class collaboration
policies in place OF the class struggle
and is tying the workers to the poll
tics, theology and leadership of small
businessmen and professional ele-
ments. This party, during the course
OF the past year, has again and again
allied itself with the labor bureau
Gratis and served as their tool in at
tacks upon the militant workers.
The Second or Socialist" Interna
tional, of which the socialist party is
a part, has behind 1t a history of ten
years Of working class betrayal OF the
slaughter Of revolutionary workers
and the claiming OF the working class
Of the world to capitalist Imperialism.
This party, so meek and gentle in its
dealings with and apologies for CAPT
talism, has shown Unbelievable ener-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-10-08

gy, in fighting the militant section
of the working class. It has blocked
every effort for labor unity. 1t has
this year abandoned, even it's platonic
acceptance of the labor party idea,
has discarded all semblance of mill
fancy and makes no pretense of be-
ing party of class struggle. The
socialist party is not party of work
ers; it cannot and will not serve their
needs.
The Workers (Communist) Party is
the only party that provides the
means by which the workers may
free themselves from exploitation and
wage slavery, which is their lot under
the exploited masses against the CAPT
nominating its candidates and carry
ing on its campaign, it aims to unite
the exploited masses against the capt.
talist system. The support of the
Workers (Communist) Party by the
working class of New York means the
preparation of the workers for their
liberation from exploitation and op-
preston. Rally to the Workers (Corl-
munist) Party and hasten the day
when the workers shall rule and thru
their rule attain to freedom.
