German Art Expert Found
 Dead in Calf. Residence

Hollywood, Cal, Sept. 16 R - Baron F.. R. Vongersdorff, art eH- port and former German army off cer. was found dead in a bath room at the home of Martin Weinschenck, art collector, yesterday. A physi- clan called to the house said death was caused by rupture of the main blood vessel leading to the heart.
 Although accepting the doctors explanation as probably correct, the coroner's office ordered a post nor tenn examination to remove all doubt in the matter.
 The welnschenck home was loot ed last February of paintings and art objects valued at close to half a million dollars. Baron Won Gersorff was among those questioned in con .nection with the case, but police and private investigators said he was unable to throw any light on the dis Appearance of the art collection.

direct to Poughkeepsie, where con-
 nections were made with other
 lines. But this has no longer been
 possible for years. One can still
 take a passenger train from Dan bury to Poughkeepsie, but the pas
 senger trafflc Is down 10 near zero
 The automobile has been blamed for this development In the case Of local traffic, and more convenient routes are open to the public for long distance travelling.
 The New Haven railroad. willing to give up running passenger trains to Poughkeepsle, apparently in- tends 10 utilize the motor coach in- stead, thus giving the tracks over entirely 10 freight trains. This would he rather new develop mcnt for the railroad, as the com pany would he utilizing motor coaches to give passenger trans portation 10 towns already being served by its own tracks. The com pany's action in asking permission to operate a motor coach line be- tween Poughkeepsie and Danbury, indicates its motives, although this being an interstate line no particu- lar permission 10 run 1t seems necessary, The company Is also said 10 be eager to start a motor coach line between Danbury and Water bury, paralleling its own rails, It has successfully blocked independ- ents who in the past have endeay- orcd 10 start a motor coach line between Waterbury and Hartford. Perhaps some day in the near fu- ture it may want to start such a Dus line llsel.
 The action of the railroad In wishing to run motor coaches to Poughkeepsie. however. evidently has been stimulated by the efforts of independents to honeycomb that section of the terrain. A bus line already extends from Brewster to Poughkeepsie and If the railroad were 10 operate busses from Dan bury to Poughkeepsie 1t would con- nict with the Independent line; for that matter, the independent line has already connicted with [ h railroad business between the two cities. Other independents are en- deavoring to operate between other cities in that section and the bat tie between the railroad and it's pesky enemies is quite spirited.
 When passenger transportation service in that section depended altogether upon the railroad the service was at d minimum, as the time table amply demonstrates. With the development of motor coaches, however, passenger travel seems 10 have been stimulated; many residents in the towns who ordinarily use automobiles in pref erence 10 the railroad seem willing 10 use the motor coaches part Of the time. This seems to be phe- nomenon not 10 be overlooked, It seems 10 be a fact that the motor coaches have created business,

Discussion Of Our Party's Immediate Tasks

| could go on for hours on these
minority united fronts, but Just let
me cite one more This one should
not be missed because this comrades
argument at the Chicago membership
meeting, for farmer-labor party con-
sisted of admitting that he built bar
ricades during the Russian revolution
of 1905. He, however, forgot to tell
what he wanted done in the carpen-
.ters' election of 1924 Comrade Ander-
son proposed a united front with the
faker Brown of Peoria, and the with
drawal of our left wing candidate,
Morris Rosen He not only did this
in the building trades group meeting,
but presented his proposition to the
T. U. E. L. national committee and it
was promptly turned down. Like
Wicks, he has not admitted his mis-
take on this question.
No Masses Except in r. L. p?
The trouble with many of our COM
rades of the minority is that the swal-
lowing of the farmer-labor movement,
such as it was, by LaFollette left
them completely isolated. They can
not see any other means of contact
with the masses, as far as they arc
personally concerned, than thru a
farmer-labor party. The only way that
they can figure out is to use the farm
er-labor party slogan as an emetic
to force LaFollette to disgorge this
farmer-labor party. This can lead
only to third party alliance, in fact,
the minority openly advocates enter
ing the c. P p A. which is the very
heart of the LaFollette movement
This isolation" felt very keenly by
the minority, is not party isolation.
The great bulk of our members are
industrial workers, their points of
contact are too many to isolate them
by the mere shattering Of the farm
er-labor party movement. We of the
majority want our comrades of the
minority to get in real contact with
the masses but we are opposed to the
forming Of a fake farmer-labor party
which would be fake contact.

Communist Party cannot function
except it has a farmer-labor party to
play with, and he wants united
front so bad that he is willing to
form it with anybody. His last united
front was with James Lynch, the most
reactionary labor faker in the Ameri-
can labor movement. Wicks, the
MARKHAM" actually lined up with this
faker and helped to elect him to the
presidency of the Typographical I'm
ion. The G. K. c. promptly condemn
ed Wicks publicly, but Wicks has new
err admitted that he was wrong in
lining up with Lynch. In the Pater-
son silk workers strike, where our
party assumed leadership and did
splendid work, Wicks, the MARKHAM,
was the one who made the motion
to stop a Communist from speaking
at the strike meetings

the other unions might get hep to

his eyes open, because he points out

HAS THE FARNER-LABOR PARTY
SWALLOWED JAY LOVESTONE?

Soviet form of government? l think
not, and | think Comrade Lovestone
can find very few phrases that he
can use in the words of Marx or Len
in for such a policy.
Comrade Lovestone uses the words
"menshevist skepticism." Yes, Com
rade Lovestone Your argument
smells badly of menshevism. Your
skepticism of the Workers Party par
ticipating in the election campaign
as Communists and not as farmer-la-
borites, is a bad menshevist disease.
You seem to be disappointed in the
fact that our party did not show ire
mendous growth at once. You seem
to be of the impression that, for in
stance, it is of no Importance that
the DAILY WORKER during this
election campaign has increased its
circulation by 5000 new subscribers.
Is it not of the utmost Importance
that the morale of our party mem
bers has been strengthened in this
campaign? Is it not important that
some of our branches that were be-
ginning to die, have come to life again
and are beginning to educate them
selves in fundamental principles of
Communism instead of farmer-labor-
ism?
Perhaps your misunderstanding of
the situation is due to the fact that
you have not realized the necessity
of studying the conditions among our
membership, but have only taken a
superficial view of the situation.
Comrade Lovestone, would like to
recommend to you that instead Of
basing your analysis on the basis of
enthusiasm, you may be able to stir
up in mass meetings composed Of
Workers Party members and sympa-
thizers for the slogan "farmer-labor
party" that you go to union meet
ing, for example, in one of the most
progressive ones at this time, and
select two subjects.
For example, a united front with
the Workers Party to organize a fight
against injunctions, a united front to
organize the unorganized, or suggest
they participate in another farmer
labor convention. PdN like to see
where you get the most enthusiasm.
am afraid they'll tell you that they
have passed about 100 labor party
resolutions and they are sick and
tired Of it at this time, but they
would like to unite with the Workers
Party to fight injunctions or against
the unemployment, etc. Shall we then
tell them that we can't fight injunc-
tions because we have no farmer-la-
Dor party or shall we tell them that
we have Communist Party which is
capable TO fight their battles?
And then please, Comrades Ruth
enberg and Lovestone, do not throw
sectarianism against us. Commun-
lists who participate in the everyday
struggle OF the masses. who are lead
ers OF strikes who are fighting against
the bureaucracy in the trade unions
will not so easily be let into sectarian-
ism as those who shout from the ma
tional office dictaphones and hurl
proclamations at the workers like
Comrades Lovestone and Ruthenberg
like TO do.
The minority also tries the old
stunt OF theirs in accusing the ma.
jority OF not trying to organize the
f. +. l.. p. altho Comrade Ruthen-
berg in the last convention explained
the truth laid in between and this
matter was refuted by the convention
as beisg nothing short of an attempt
of the then majority, now minority
