MINORITY DID NOT PROVE THEIR CASE

Toilette movement besieged the labor
unions for their endorsement and sup
port of their candidates, we, the Com
munists, have learned the means of
effectively combating this custom,
and have gained a great deal Sn the
way of showing to great masses of
workers that the Communists are the
only real friends of the working
class. In short, the late developments
in the American labor movement and
the activity of our comrades therein
have removed many barriers which
were in the way Of our propagation
OF the class struggle from a Commun-
ist point of view and to show to the
workers that the only political party
worthy of their support is the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Now, after all the experience we
have gained and after the many hard
ships we have overcome, for us to
come again before the American work
ers and try to raise the slogan of a

as much as to try to inject new life
into dead corpse. At the same time,
to talk now to the American workers,
of mysterious "class farmer-labor
party" would mean to be hiding be-
hind the bush" for the simple reason
that we might just as well and with
Just as much advantage come right
out clearly and unhesitatingly with
the propaganda for the Workers
(Communist) Party.
To my mind the proposed policy of
the minority means retreat from
gained positions. 1t means retreat
that is not warranted by actual con-
ditions in the labor movement at the
present time. This proposed tactic
Of the minroity if accepted would
mean step backward that would
create situation whereby we would
have to play hide and seek game.
This would not mean a retreat where
by we could strengthen our position
for new attack upon our enemy, but
one that would tend to destroy our
gained influence and prestige in the
labor movement. This is an out and
out un-Leninist, un-Bolshevik tactic.
In conclusion let me say that we.
the Communist. active in the labor
movement have greater and more
important tasks to perform than to
force upon the American workers

The Discussion on Party Tasks

its own organization can III. lrty
wage a Communist political strug-
gle, and that it is opportunism for
the party to wage political struggles
thru the instrumentally of other or
ganizations. The farmer-labor party
therefore contended could be made
an instrument of our political strug-
gle even though it is not a Com
munist body
The comrades will pardon me for
imposing upon their patience with
these long quotations from Gitlow.
But it can't be helped. The interests
of the party demand that we all know
that because the Russian Party par
ticipated in Soviets, therefore, the
American party must participate in
the farmer-labor movement. This is
the new Marxism and Communism of
our farmer-laboristic minority. l am
leaving aside, for the moment, the fact
that it is not the question now of
participating in but of initiating and
creating a farmer-labor party. GitlOw
has either entirely misunderstood the
discussion, or he is consciously twist
ing the issue when he represents the
thing as Though it were a question of
our party participating in a movement
that already exists. There is no such
thing. The question is: Shall the
Workers Party create a substitute
for itself in the shape of a farmer
labor party? This is the issue.
| am willing to assume that Gitlow
did not understand what our contro-
versy was all about. He may have
sincerely believed that the whole fight
is about participating in an already
existing movement. That's why he
has written the above lines to the
effect that since the Russian PARTY

THE nearer the discussion of our
party's immediate tasks approach
es its conclusion, the more it becomes
evident that the minority has a very
poor case in justification of their pro-
posed policy. OF all the arguments
advanced by the minority all through
the discussion none were OF any strik-
ingly convincing nature.
In my opinion the minority has still
got to phove that there is NOW in
existence a mass sentiment on the
part of the American workers for a
farmer-labor party. Those of us who
are actively engaged in the everyday
work of the American labor unions,
know the facts that point to the con-
trary.
AS matter of fact we see that ever
since the presidential election the
issue of a labor party, as far as the
majority of the labor movement is
concerned is dead and buried. Those
elements in the labor unions who de-
monstrated any kind of a sentiment
for Independent political action, and
who were willing to do anything in
order to put this sentiment into ac-
ton, are now either altogether in
different to the issue or satisfied with
their conviction that what was ac-
complished by the LaFollette move
ment was all that they wanted.
For US to come out now in the labor
unions with the slogan, "For a farmer
labor party" would mean at best talk
ing to stone walls.
On theother hand we must not for
get that ever since the Bridgeman
arrest and the consequent discussions
in the capitalist press Of what the
Communist Party was and our ap-
peals to the American workers for the
defence OF those arrested, brought
about a situation whereby many
thousands Of American workers be-
came very much interested in know
ing what the Communists really stood
for.
Then again in the last prediction
campaign, hundreds Of thousands Of
American workers listened with great
interest to our speakers who came
out on the streets and in halls ex-
planning the true meaning OF Com
munism and its objects. Also. in the
last campaign, as the politicians Of
the capitalist parties and of the La
The daily worker., 1925-01-03

participated in Soviets, the Workers
Party may participate in farmer
labor party He is pitifully wrong,
just the same. But where is my
lie?
As to Faetionalism.
Some day there will be written the
history of our party, and then we shall
know which faction or tendency in
our movement contributed most to the
development of our party. We may
be compelled to begin writing history
much sooner than would be necessary
otherwise. If the statesmen of the
minority Ga la Gitlow) will continue
the way they started, we may find it
advisable and for the good Of the par
ty to start writing history Immediate
ly. But one fact must be established
right here. 1t is the fact that never
in the history of our party did a
minority opposition defy so flagrantly
and brazenly the fundamentals of or
ganization of the Comintern, as did
the present minority The caucus is
everything, the party is nothing-this
is the motto of the present minority.
But we shall leave this aside for
the moment. We want the party first
to realize the menacing nature of
the policies Of the minority, and then
we will speak in more detail about
their practices of organization Our
main task now is to have the party
repudiate definitely and completely
the right-wing farmer-labor opportun-
ism of the minority In pursuing this
task we shall speak to the party as
plainly and frankly as is possible, and
will leave to the minority all the
privileges and all the rights of adver-
tising their virtues and of calling us
names.

beHses, but the pensioners are but
ID the cold. t .f
Every company pension plan in this
country is subject to the same finish
as the Morris plan. The employer is
in absolute control, and may abolish
the pension plan at any time. If SO
disposed, the employer may discharge
employees and disqualify them from
participating in q pension fund. The
employer may sell out his business
and the new owner would not be obli-
gated to continue the pension, just
what happened in the Morris case.
The employees have no redress, be-
cause the pension arrangement is held
to be voluntary gift and not con-
tract.
The Morris case is but another ex-
ample of the helplessness Of employ
es who fail to promote their welfare
through their own organizations.
If it hasn't dawned on the Morris
employees before, it surely has now,
that trade union organization is the
only hope for the workers to estab-
lish genuine benefits for themselves.

fact that coal can be bought on the
open market at Cleveland, Ohio, it is
said, at 81 cents a ton less than it
can be obtained at the neighboring
city of Toledo. These two cities are at
about equal distances from the coal
mines and each has direct rail con-
nections with the coal territory. The
difference lies in the fact that Cleve-
land has cooperative coal yard and
Toledo has none.
Farm Produce Sold In Nine States
The Farmer-Labor Exchange of
Chicago has been marketing the pro-
duce of members of farmers unions
in the States of Texas, Arkansas,
Iowa, Idaho, Minnesota, Illinois, In
diana Michigan and Florida.
AS an illustration of the way in
which the business is conducted, $780,
900 worth Of Idaho honey has been
marketed here in Chicago at a saw
ing of $4,000 to the Idaho producers
and at much greater saving to the
Chicago consumers.
This honey was put up in five-pound
pals and sold at 81 a pail. The same
quality and quantity Of honey retailed
at Atlantic & Pacific tea stores at
$2.621S, and the Boston Store, Chi
cago, retailed an inferior grade at
$1.45 a pail.
Potatoes Sold Under Market Price
The exchange recently handled
eight carloads of Minnesota potatoes
which were sold to consumers at so
cents a bushel under the market
price. Several carloads also were
sold to Illinois local unions and CO.
operative stores outside of Chicago
at substantial saving.
Illinois and Iowa eggs have been
retailed at 5 cents a dozen under the
market price.
There has been q big saving both

vegetables and citrus fruits from
Florida. As an example, there was s

there was 3 further saving on this

Samples Of tea have just been re-

Editor The Union Leader, Chicago
Circuit Judge Ryner has ruled that
the Armour packing plant, which alb
sorbed the Morris packing plant, may
discontinue the pension plan of the
latter concern.
There is a wonderful lesson to the
workers in this case, if they will heed
it. Here were $500 employees who
were led to believe if they remained
in the service of their employer UNI
til they were no longer fit for work,
and gave the best that was in them
for the advancement of their employ
er's business, content with the con-
ditions the employer planned fof
them, they would be assured a COM
petence in their winter of life. But
sad to relate they were deceived.
The cold truth hits them too late to
recover from the blow and make a
fresh start. Industry Slapped their
vigorous years and deserted them in
old age.
The Morris employees depended upon
the employer instead of themselves.
They sacrificed in wage rates and
labor conditions; they stuck to their
jobs when they could have bettered
themselves elsewhere, all because
they had been promised a pension

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
BETWEEN FARMERS AND
UNIONS MAKES BIG HIT
By JOSEPH A. WISE

CHICAGO, April 9.-Cooperative
marketing between trade unionists
farmers with Chicago as a base of
operation is growing steadily in vol
ume and Importance. The Farmer
Labor Exchange, of which C. F. Low
RE, Room SOC, 179 West Washington
Street, Chicago, is the secretary, now
owns one warehouse outright and has
made arrangements whereby it has
partial use of four other warehouses
here in Chicago.
Arrangements now are being per-
fected to buy large quantities of coal
for the farmers of nine States who
are marketing their produce through
the Farmer-Labor Exchange.
Only Union Coal Handled
The coal will come from union
mines only and win be bought in not
less than carload lots and resold in
quantities as wanted.
There has been considerable Of this
sort of coal buying among small
groups Of trade unionists here in Chi
,cago, and it is now the aim to en-
large on the practice, extending the
benefits to the farmers as well and
thereby perhaps bringing the price
down still further.
A strong argument that the coop
orators are advancing to support their
plea for the coal proposition is the

and beauty to the hair.
Well known druggists say every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound now because it darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied-it's so
easy to use, too. You simply dampen
a comb or soft brush and draw it
through your hair, taking one strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and beau
Etiful.

knights of Pythias Notes Of In
tereSt.

The regular meeting of Garrett
Lodge No. 1l3, knights of Pythias,
was held on Friday night of last week
and meeting of the picnic commit
tee, which reported much progress,
was likewise held.
The arrangements committee for
the Labor Day picnic and reunion this
year has been a busy bunch of men.
They have found that it requires more
work and time than ever before to
carry the picnic on to a successful
conclusion. The committee makes a
special request that all auto contest
books that have been sold be turned in
just as soon as possible in order to
avoid too much work on the day of
the picnic.
Much improvement has been made
to our building in the past month. The
theatre entrance has been remodeled
and new concrete steps to the cellar
and building have also been added.
A note from Gormania Lodge says
that Mr.. W. S. Shrout has gone to
Fairmont, West Va, having been sent
there as a delegate to the Grand
Lodge of that State. "Uncle Billy" is
73 years old and has been an active
member of the German lodge for 35
years and is the only charter member
of the lodge living. This trip to the
Grand Lodge makes his twelfth time
as a delegate. He takes great interest
in the Knights of Pythias and the
weather never gets too bad for him
to attend the weekly sessions. When
few are present he is one of them. He
is member of whom every knight
should be proud.
Your officers wants as many as pos
sible to be present at the next two
meetings Of the lodge as much bust
ness Of Importance will come up and
your support and suggestions are re-
quested and will be appreciated,
