dek further continues, "For that rea
son / believe that the G. E. G. acted IN
correctly when it regarded the lapses
of Lore as a lapses of peculiar fell
low. This is a centristic tendency
in the party against which the Q. =.
G. must fight. The comrades must
oppose Lore in the press, they must
attack him"
The writer heard Comrade G. a.
Hathaway make the remark at the
Dec. 18th meeting of the Minneapolis
English branch of the Workers Party
that is was the minority group that
had worked with and received the
support of the Loreites. Hathaway
claimed that the present majority de-
sired to carry on an educational cam
paign against Loreism, but that the
minority insisted on prosecuting Lore.
He explains that is the reason why
Comrade Lore consistently votes with
and supports the majority group. A
very weak and unsatisfactory answer,
but seemingly it is the best excuse
that the majority adherents are able
to put forth.
A New Brand of Communication
Wheels
The good virtuous Communists COM
posing the majority group loudly
shout. "The Workers Party must
purge itself of this dangerous ele-
ment that infests the organization
with it's idea of a class FL. party"
Speaking of dangerous elements, -
who are they? During the time when
the DAILY WORKER, the only Com
munist daily in this country, printed
in the English language, was appeal
ing, yes, almost begging, for the mem
bers of the party to get out and secure
subscriptions for the publication
what was happening in the city Of
Minneapolis?
Comrades c. A. Hathaway, Carl
Skogland, and E.. S. Youngdahl, as
well as others Of the majority, were
breaking their necks" in the cam
paign put on by the Farmer-Labor Adj
vocate to build up their subscription
lists. The FarmerLabor Advocate,
edited jointly by VIM. Mahoney and
Ralph Harmon, is published at st.
Paul and represents the greatest con-
glomeration of labor takers and pol
itical microbes ever banded together.
The reward offered by this publica-
ton was not "a mere enlightened
n h1o fqe,1
obile to be given as prize to the
person securing the greatest number
of subscriptions. A capitalistic "eatch-
penny" affair designed to perpetuate
the pie cards" of couple of labor
takers.
Comrade Walter Frank, who was
then DAILY WORKER agent, pointed
out to both Comrades Hathaway and
Skogland that if they would devote
the time spent on building the FL.
Advocate to securing subscriptions for
the DAILY WORKER many new read
ers to our publication could be OBJ
tanned Both Hathaway and Skogland,
however contended that if the auto
mobile was won by party member
the district would be materially ben
Gifted.
In conclusion,-the majority insists
there shall be no class FL. party in
any way supported by the Workers
Party. Like the S. L. p. and the
proletarian party we are to our way
alone. Just imagine, comrades, the
fboucopdo ,,poY, Thousands Of xryorLorc
who will dash into our party the min
ute we abandon the idea of a class
FL. P. Just stop to consider the
great strides the S. L. p. and p. P.
have made in the matter of building
up their their membership,-they, no
doubt, hold the overthrow of capital
ism in the palms of their hands by
virue of the fact that they have such
huge number of followers in their
camps.
Because the present majority were
"doubled-crossed" and given the "Jud-
as kiss" by takers of the LaFollette,
Cramer, and Virgins stamp, men who
had been pointed out as not being de-
pendable the idea of class farmer
labor party must be thrown to the
four winds. The writer says, let us
begin from the bottom to form such
party. By this method, by going in
to the political arena again and ex-
posing who the real takers are, we
will rally around the Workers Party
those worthwhile farmers and work
ers who really desire to achieve the
overthrow of capitalism.
The minority are being charged
with about everything under the
sum-" The majority is SO busy, how
ever, concentrating their efforts to
fighting the enemy within the party,
that little time can be allotted to wage
struggle against the capitalists and
their lackeys. As Comrade Frank, the
DAILY WORKER agent, says, "the
