Lessons of the Danish General
Strike

The mighty role that the transport workers can
fill in the worldwide struggle between exploiters
and workers is shown clearly in the aid promised
the Danish workers. now engaged in general
strike, by the Norwegian transport workers and
which may be followed by similar action in Sweden,
Germany, Holland and Finland
According to dispatches, the Norwegian sailors
and dockworkers have agreed to handle NO Danish
shipping until the demands of the Danish workers
met and there good prospects of the boycott
extending to all the ports in the countries men
toned above
Transport is to capitalism what the heart, veins
and arteries are to the human body. 1t cannot
live if the circulation system is clogged. Just as
the average human being abuses this vital part of
the anatomy, so are the transport workers abused
by the bosses and among the lowest paid hardest
worked and consequently most militant sections of
the working class
Their weakness lies in the division of their
forces by national and sectional lines-a weakness
that the transport workers of the Red Interna-
tional of Labor Unions realized long ago and
which they set out to overcome. The first step was
an effort to unity all transport unions around a
common program of minimum demands, the second
was their active support of the drive for world
trade union unity.
With the example of the need for international
solidarity furnished by the Danish strike, and the
evidence of real belief in its necessity shown by
the Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German and
Dutch transport workers, the Marine Transport
Workers of the WV, as the most militant group
in the American industry should now take the lead
in the United States among transport workers in
support of the movement for world trade union
unity, in which the British and Russian unions
have taken the lead internationally

Zinoviev Reports to the Russian Communist Party

garia is characteristic Of the political
sterilization.
THE unparalleled lies which the
4 Bulgarian government spread
against Soviet Russia, Immediately
after the Sofia outrage, have already
been disproved.. 1t remains a fact
however, that no country can be
ruled against the will Of the workers
and peasants, and that the class
struggle in Bulgaria is permeated with
civil war.
TINE German elections furnished
another example of political stabi-
lization. Comrade Zinoviev relates in
detail that the executive had proposed
to the German delegation to enter into
an election compromise with the Ger.
man social-democrats, whereby the
Communist Party was to refrain from
putting up candidate Of its own in
the second election, voting under GER
tain conditions, for Braun, the social
democratic candidate.
The majority of the German dele
cation agreed with this proposal, but
the executive had only formulated
the general policy, leaving its prac-
tical execution to the German Com
munist Party.
In the meantime the social-demo-
Gratis had withdrawn their candidate,
supporting the capitalist candidate
Marx,-in return for which, Braun
was to become prime minister in
Prussia.
In Saxony, many thousands of 80
cial-democratic workers voted for
Thaellman, refusing to vote for the
capitalist candidate,-which goes to
show that there was no psychological
basis for casting the votes for Marx.
TINE election Of Hindenburg is the
L first historical illustration of stabi-

lizasion. Sterilization will last a GER
tain period of time, but the above
facts illustrate the character of this
sterilization. Many votes cast for
Hindenburg represent a protest Of
hatred against the Versailles peace
treaty. The direct result of the cleo
ton will be the growth Of revolution
airy sentiment in Germany.
TINE social-democrats will soon
make their peace with linden
burg; not the proletariat however.
This election may be expected to have
some serious international results.
Germany's relations with France and
Poland will not be improved, but even
tually sharpened. The situation is
wrought with troubles and dangers.
There Is also the danger Of change
in German policy towards the Soviet
Union. Sterilization is there, but many
symptoms show that this sterilization
is insecure. Reaction is on the up
grade in Europe.
TUE to sterilization, there are in
- our movement number Of right
tendencies and ultra-left dangers. The
somewhat unclear formulation Of the
enlarged executive must be made
clear to the effect that a general revo-
Iutionary situation must be different
ed form an immediate revolutionary
situation. The charlatans of the Sec
ond International declare that the
plenum had not registered any reyolu-
tionary situation at all. This is a
falsehood. The plenum had merely
established the fact that there was
no Immediately revolutiopry situation.
Since the bourgeoisie is unable to
solve its conflicts from above, the ST.
tuation remains revolutionary.

MOSCOW. April 29-(By MaiD.-
- AT today's evening session Com
rade zinoviev delivered report on
the results Of the enlarged executive
session Of the Communist Interna-
tional. Pointing out that the plenum
had the character OF congress, Zino-
view declared that the resolutions
adopted by the plenum were extreme
ly important for the Russian Com
munist Party, not only as a section
of the Comintern, but as party that
rules a great country.
The plenum established the rela-
ton Of the Comintern to the retarded
development of the revolution, and
the partial sterilization Of capitalism.
This fact has been caught up by the
Second International, and was mis-
interpreted to mean that the exc
cutive Of the Comi4tern had announ-
ced the complete sterilization Of cap
italism. Certain8 events that have
taken place since the enlarged exc
cutive session, show the real charac-
ter Of the sterilization. Bulgaria and
Germany are examples of economic
sterilization. Thee French ministerial
crisis was no ordinary crisis; 1t arose
out of the financialecrisis.
THE impending. danger Of an in
L fation in France suddenly threat
ened a repetition OF the social crisis
experienced by Germany in 1928. The
crisis was overcome by a banking
scheme which coyered the deficit OF
four milliards.
However, there remains deficit OF
20 milliards. These, characteristics of
the French stabilization are particu-
larly significant, because France is a
victor country. The situation in Bull

the contradictions Of capitalism are
today greater than before the war.
1t is necessary to differentiate be-
tween the sterilization of capitalism
and the sterilization of the Sovie
Union.
Speaking Of the rapprochement be-
tween the British and Russian trade
unions, Comrade Zinoviev stated that
there is in England, for the first time,
general revolutionary situation. The
rapprochement between the trade
unions follows the line Of historical
development; hence the great signi-
ficance Of the united front tactics.
The speaker then declares that the
view entertained by some that the
fact of stabilization means that
Trotsky was correct in his analysis,
to be false. The differences did not
turn about this question, but on the
question of the tactics to be adopted
by proletarian party in such situa-
ton.
TN connection with the Czecho-Slo-
vakian party, the speaker states
that the crisis has been overcome, and
that the designations in Brunn only
contribute to the healthy development
Of the party.
TNHE plenum had dealt with the
agrarian question and with the
policy OF the Comintern. Events have
shown the policy pursued by the Rus.
sian Communist Party in the Comm
tern to be correct. The immediate
task of the Russian Communist Party
Is to adapt its daily work with the
international movement, At the pres
ent moment the Comintern needs
especially the moral support Of the
Russian Communist Party, which is
and remains the party Of international
proletarian revolution. (Applause)

Boost Wages of
Local Labor Head
Against Protest

The Chicago Federation of Labor
yesterday passed motion to raise the
salary of President John Fitzpatrick,
from SIS to 500 week. An amend
ment was added that the stenographer
employed by the federation should be
raised IS a week.
Delegate ]. p. Mccarthy, from the
Carpenters Union inquired as to the
scale of the Blacksmith's Union of
Chicago, Of which Fitzpatrick is a
member. He stated that as a general
rule the officials Of the American la
Dor movement were paid too highly,
that Fitzpatrick should get no more
than the regular union scale Of his
trade.
Mccarthy declared that the exhorbi-
tant salaries OF labor leaders were a
corrupting influence which gave them
different class viewpoint than the
members Of the unions and separated
them from the rank and file. The I'M
skilled workers in the building trades,
he pointed out, were working under
the scab Lands award, and IL was
much more needful to use all avail
able funds for organizing the unor-
ganized than in increased salary for
labor leaders in time when the work
ing class was suffering wage cuts right

CHICAGO WORKERS
/. PROTEST BALKAN
WHITE TERROR
Thousands Slain; More
Thousands in Prison

At mass meeting Of several hun
bred Chicago workers yesterday held
at Bricklayers' Union hall, determin-
ed protest was voiced against the
horrors of the white terror raging in
the Balkan counties.
In Bulgaria especially, and also in
Jugo-Slavia and Greece, many thou
sands Of workers and peasants have
been murdered, being shot down and
hung without trial, while many more
thousands have been brutally thrown
in Jail and vile prisons to rot for year
after year, until death would seem a
release from suffering.
The meeting was presided over by
Thurber Lewis, and the speakers wer,
Earl Browder, in English; Comrade
Michalachky, in South Slavic; Com
rade Koteff in Bulgarian, and Comrade
Kostis in Greek.
A. spirited resolution Of protest de-
handing a cessation TO the barbarities
Of the Balkan bourgeoisie was adopt
ed, and is to be sent to the labor press
turnout the world and mailed direct
to the embassies of the Balkan ma
tions at Washington.
Especial emphasis was laid upon
the part Of the imperialist powers in
concealing the real perpetrators of the
Sveti Kral explosion ands using the
occasion as an excuse for intensified
white terror murders.

Lee and the Left Wing

From the company union known as the "B and
o. plan" on railroad system, established after
the Hallway strike in 1922, when the morale of the
the workers was at a low point, the class peace
policy of the trade union ofacialdom has extended
to Canadian government railways and a number
of roads on this side of the line.
Now comes William Lee, head of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, with the proposal to
hold a conference of railway managers and railway
union officials to launch mo strike" movement in
the entire industry. With characteristic energy
the imperialists are evidently insisting upon re-
suits from their agents in the trade unions,
This movement is planned on stupendous scale.
If successful it would include 100000 workers
in the most important key industry and introduce
the company union system on a national basis.
The ability to organize and strike is the test of
labor union To surrender the right to strike
and substitute class cooperation for the class
struggle, no matter how vague it's conception may
be- is to take the heart blood and bowel out of the
labor unions. This is the purpose of the plan.
1t would be only half explanation to say that
the railroad capitalists behind this scheme be-
cause they are concerned only over demands for
higher wages and the power of the unions to en-
force them. American capitalism can afford to
and does pay proportionately higher wages to the
railway brotherhOods than to other groups of
workers. Its quarrels with them of minor
nature and, with their reactiOnary leadership,
quite easily adjusted.
But railway transport systems are of vital i'm
portance in war and war comes closer the
rivalry between America, Japan and Great Brit
ain becomes more intense If the railway unions
can be hamstrung by company unions great
burden will have been lifted from the minds of the
war mongers.
Upon the whole labor movement the plan would
have a demoralizing effect.
1t is doubtful if Lee will have much luck in secur
ing the endorsement of other labor officials. Not but
that they are in accord with the general tenor of
the scheme, but this manner of putting over on
the union membership is little too raw. The
takers are conservative even in their conservatism
The trend of thought of labor oficialdOm is in
the direction of class peace and acceptance of sub
sides from imperialism, but the "B. and o. plan
seems to them to offer better method of be
traying the masses for the time being
There is this much to be said for Lee, however
He has shown the logical conclusion of a class
peace policy and given the left wing in the labor
movement a concrete illustration on which to base
their arguments against all attempts to lead the
unions into the camp of the enemy for surrender
instead of struggle.
