INTERNATIONAL MAY DAY, May
Ii, 1895, is the fifth May Day on
which Communism in America hurls
its challenge in the face Of American
capitalism. It is the fifth May Day

can working class, calling to It to

nag Of the Communist Information
al
This year, May 1, 1895, broader
masses than ever before are being
reached. More Communist litera-
-ture has been distributed. more
May Day demonstrations have been
planned, there is greater contact OF
Communist workers with non-Com-
munist workers, than ever before.
The First May Day.
The year 1890 started with the
nationwide 'Rnti-Red raids" Of Pal
m0rs department of justice under
President Wilson's waning regime,
that put thousands In Jail This
was but an echo in this country Of
the worldwide capitalist hysteria
growing out Of the revolutionary IN
rest of labor everywhere; an unrest
inspired to action by the victory of
the Russian workers and peasants.
It was early in this year that large
numbers Of workers were deported;
that one ship especially, carrying
an unusual number OF deportees,
was christened 1.-THE Soviet Ark"
certain indication that It carried a
Communist cargo, but also freighted
with the fable, that has lowered
over this land, that America is an
Asylum for the Oppressed Of all Ma
TONS" That fiction was forever ex-
ploded in the minds Of more millions
Of workers; additional reason why
capitalism should be completely
obsessed by the fear OF Communism.
The Joy and dissatisfaction with
which the whole ruling class put
thousands Of Communists in jail, in
those 1920 Palmer red raids" is
best echoed in a whole series Of
headlines to be found In a single
issue OF the New York Times as fol-
lows:
100 Taken In and Near Buffalo.
Raids In II Connecticut Towns.
Fifteen Taken In Bridgeport.

AVA berg, Winltsky, Gitlow, Larkin
and Ferguson in prison in New
York state. The trial of the mem
bers OF the Communist-Labor Party
had taken place in Chicago. The
general strike" in Seattle, Wash.
had been dragged thru the courts at
Chicago, and outlawed along with
Communism. But capitalist fear of
Communism had in no way lessened.
American labor was demanding
recognition OF Soviet Russia and the
opening OF trade relations with the
workers and peasants republic;
the political prisoners Of the world
war were coming out OF capitallsm's
bastilles and taking their places In
the ranks OF the class struggle; So
viet rule was crushing each new In
terventionist effort OF Yudenitch, OF
Wrangel, OF Denikin, and with them
allied hopes; shops and facories,
mills and mines we're closing down,
strikes were increasing In ferocity

The Communist movement had
been driven underground, many
Communists had been placed on
trial in the courts, but this did not
in the least lessen the fear that
haunted the great capitalists, their
kept politicians, their yellow editors
and ranting pulpiteers. The sleep
ing giant-American labor-was
stirred In his sleep and the Com
munist movement got full credit
for It: especially for the outlaw
strike Of the switchmen of that year,
the steel strike OF the previous year,
both coupled with the beginning Of
the fight Of Alexander Howat, at the
head Of the Kansas coal miners un-
ion, against the courts and the gov
ernment OF that state. Palmer's
May Day scare" OF 1920, will re-
ceive its due attention in the prole-
tartan histories Of the future.

ONE OF the most important tasks Of
" the Young Workers League Of
America. is the struggle against cap
italist militarism. In the European
countries militarism stands more
markedly before the working class
youth; therefore making 1t easier TO
discern it as an institution indispen-
sible for capitalism. Compulsory mil
itary training for all young workers.
when they have reached a certain age,
general discrimination and marked
distinction between the soldier and
the civilian all contribute to the ex-
posture of this most repulsive tnstitu-
ton of capitalism.
In this country, however, the meth
DDS and tactics pursued to develop
powerful capitalist army and navy,
are to say the least more subtle. To
characterize this, we can point to
the Inauguration of the Citizens Civil
Military Training Camps in 1923.
Since then, this organization has in
creased it's influence and popularity.
Some of the most notorious open shop
interests have and continue 20 con-
tribute literally with money, in order
to make the Citizens Civil Military
Training Camps permanent and in
fuential instrument thru which will
be developed a well trained, discip-
lined army to be available to any pur-
pose which will suit the interests Of
American capital.
DECRUITING Offices to enroll in
1G the Citizens Civil Military
Training Camps exist in every prin-
cipal city. Many thousands OF dol
lars have been spent IN giving pub
Lefty to these camps. Many employ
ers influence their employees to enroll
in the camps. Compensation for the
time to be spent in these camps is
extended to many young workers.
Other inducements are offered to
stimulate the interest of the young
American workers in the Citizens
Civil Military Training Camps.
At these camps, thoro training Of
militarist discipline and patriotism is
inculcated in the minds of the naive
recruits. Repetition Of such training
quickly produces an army Of the 100
per cent American philosophy.
TN the face Of this alarming danger
L for the working class, the official
dom of the A. +. of L. at the last con-
vention in El Paso, made the organ
lied labor movement thru the usual
treacherous tactics pursued by these
labor takers. an abettor for the Citi-
zens' Civil Military Training Camps.

was consistent with the policy OF the

Passenger travel has been brought

are running on time.
The railroad code adopted June,
1922, which gave the railroads the
status Of juridical persons and made
them responsible for loss and damage
and delays to shipments, has aided
greatly In the recovery. Under the

operation and management, as a re-
suit Of which operating costs have
steadily fallen.

MAY DAY, 1922, found the Ameri-
AA can Communist movement bat
Ting energetically in the open. The
Workers (Communist) Party had
been organized but a few months
before, and on this years May Day
our Communist appeal went forth to
Americas toiling masses: "Capi-
talism and Chains. OR, Social Rev
olution and Freedom"
Our May Day Manifesto OF this
year reviewed the struggle OF the
previous two years. 1t showed that
when the railroad men threatened
to strike, the government answered
their just demands with Injunction
courts and obligatory arbitration.
When the miners struck, they,
too. were forced to submit to arbit-
ration courts. John L. Lewis, the
president OF the mine workers, true
to the traditions OF American labor
leadership, which demands peace
and class collaboration with CAPT.
tai at any price, called off the strike,
because, "he was not fighting the
government"
State militia and the police were
called out TO make war on the New
England textile workers opposing
wage cuts.
Thru laws forbidding strikes, and
the launching of a brutal open
shop" campaign, II was sought to
rob labor of its weapons and bring
the workers TO their knees. Many
workers were sent TO prison under
so-called anti-syndicallst laws used
especially against the members OF
the Industrial Workers OF the
World.
Millions OF jobless walked the
streets. Under these conditions

whore the capitalist inQuisition was
held, the Communist message went
forth TO labor everywhere, from the
lips Of Communism's chosen spokes-
men.
Our Communist movement was
developing It's united front strug-
giles. The drive for amalgama-
ton was winning the attention
Of great numbers of organized work
ers, while the campaign for the la
Dor party, in the political field, was
attracting the favorable attention Of
workers and rousing the hostility Of
the reactionaries, the whole
strength OF the Gompers' regime In
the American Federation Of Labor
being enlisted in the war against
tho Communists. The Communist
counter-attack finally forced the la
Dor reaction to show its real colors,
placing It in open alliance with the
terror reign of the capitalist gov
eminent itself.
This was the first May Day on
which the American Communist
movement could boast Of the exist
ence Of its EngIish-language daily,
the DAILY WORKER, the establish
ment OF which constitutes one of it's
greatest achievements. This was
an additional cause for increasing
enthusiasm and great rejoicing on

The reading Of this years May

that great May Day demonstration
are being organized in hundreds Of
