Sign Of the intensified Struggle.
The class struggle intensiies. The
state police force is for use in that
struggle, on the side of the bosses
But the workers are not idle. They
are putting up a militant resistance.
The most class conscious section Of
the workers, under the leadership of
the Workers (Communist) Party, is
alive to the realization that the power
of government is always the power of
the ruling class in society land in the
United States that means the capital

! bosses agitate for an extension and
Capitalization of state power they are
only forging a new weapon of their
own to protect their stores Of ill-got-
ten wealth. The present scandalous
campaign for a capitalist-owned state
police force in Illinois should serve
to convince every worker who has
ever been in a struggle, who has ever
been on strike, to understand that
what the Communists have been ex.
posing Is true.
For a United Front.
A united front of all labor elements,
together with the poor farmers, viii
put the fear Of proletarian might into
the hearts Of the puffy legislators in
Springfield. It is the only way in
which the Dunlap bill can be defeated.
The Workers (Communist) Party is

LONDON.-British labor is flicked
with the whip Of foreign competition
just when the leaders OF the largest
unions are working for a united front
in the struggle for higher wages. A
contract for building five 10000 ton

be done more cheaply in Hamburg
Many British shipyard workers are
out of job and the anti-union forces
find the contract a made-to-order ar
gument for reducing wages and abol

The ability OF the German firm to
underbid British yards by from $780,.
600 to s480,000 per boat is still a mys.
terry. There is evidence of collision
on the part of the British employers
who are bent on undermining the
wage movement and substituting a
downward one. Secretary John Hill
Of the Boilermakers' Union points out
that the winning German bid was con.
siderably above the normal British
price per ton and that the lowest
British bid was inexcusably high. Hill
says, "It is all part of some capitalist
design which is now being applied
not only to shipbuilding but to ship.

The Finnish Section of the Workers Party

seriously we have neglected the Com
munist education Of our membership
The more cheerful phase Of this let
ter Is that the writer realizes the stu
alton and admits 1t openly. To that
extent we admit our negligence we
are able to remedy 1t. A serious
struggle, however. is bound to rise
from the fact that too many leading
comrades are not willing to admit our
negligence and errors. On the con-
trary, in their words they as much as
confess that something has been ne
elected, but in their deeds they hold
tight' to their former methods and
viewpoints, and are trying to make the
members believe that those comrades
who are now demanding fundamen-
tai remedy, are distIrbers. For per-
sonal motives they want to interrupt
the peace in the Finnish federation
and to SOW discord.
However if the situation does not,
in the light Of foregoing analysis, look
very bright, there is no need to be
pessimistic. as far as the relation of
the Finnish members toward our party
is concerned. If we become pessimis-
tic towards the working masses we
might as we'll cease to believe and
speak about the coming proletarian
revolution. 1t would also be a wrong
idea to believe that the Finnish

ton form of organization and build

This new form OF organization tears
away the national division lines and
at the same time makes possible the

This same condition that now ex-
lists between the Finnish section and
our party, also exists more or less be-
tween other language sections and the

Verdict May Save
Finnish Worker
from Deportation

The United States circuit court of
appeals Of the eighth circuit of which
the district of Minnesota IS a part,
handed down decision in two cases
involving the same question of law as
the Sauna Kannasto case holding that
the so-called wartime passport act is
wartime emergency legislation and
that it is no longer in effect.
This decision is expected to com
pei the court to release Mrs. Kan
nasto from criminal prosecution for
an alleged violation of this notorious
Iva. Mrs. Kannasto is of Finnish ma
tionality and her arrest was brot
about thru the efforts of white guard

activity in behalf of the workers. Her
deportation is sought by the federal
authorities.

"The establishment of this fact Is
important for the following reason.
If the people and the proletariat were
at that time synonymous ideas, the
rule of the people or democracy
would actually signify proIetarian
rule or the rule of the working class,
and not, as democracy is understood
today, the rule of the whole nation
in opposition either to oIigarchy or
personal monarchy. In the years
1SS1-1S4S, democracy signifed the
rule of the people in opposition to
the bourgeoisie."
1T is only by virtue of this historic
background" continues Beer, that
we can understand, the otherwise in
comprehensive because apparently
neutrality-suspicious. in the Commu-
mist Manifesto: The first step in the
labor revolution is the elevation of
the proletariat to the position of ruI-
ing class, the struggle for democracy
Democracy IN the sense of the Com
unist Manifesto accordingly means
the rule of the working class"
The above quotations are but one
small example of the richness of
Beers book, of its value to assist the
working class reader in obtaining a
clearer idea Of the historical back
ground of the labor movement. More
than hundred years ago the clear
note of proletarian revolution was
struck by the first working class
fighters, whose glorious tradition was
to be incorporated by and brot to
fruition under Vladimir Lenin.

A Book for the Workers Shelf.

"sociaI Struggles and Thought" by
M. Beer, Boston. Small, Maynard
G Co. 1925, So.
1t is not often that book from the
flood poured forth from capitalist pub
fishing houses can be highly recon-
mended to the workers. This is one
of those rare exceptions. Within a
brief 200 pages, Beer has concentra-
ted picture of social struggles in
England and France land their reac-
tons upon Germany, from 1776 to
1S48 together with concise statements
Of all the schools of social criticism
and programs Of soeial change, that
arose out of these struggles. 1t is
without doubt the best work of it's
kind available, at least in the English
language, and it is a valuable addi-
ton to the working-class library.
The large field covered may be in
Dictated by mentioning the names of
those dealt with by writer's and
thinkers who influenced social thot in
that period Adam Smith, Bentham,
Ricardo, Wallace, Spencer, Goodwin,
Hall, the Physiocrats, LANCE, Dolivier,
Buonarotti, Babeuf, Wieland, Weis-
haupt, Leasing, Cetinger, Fichte, Fou-
rier, Saint-Simon, the Luddites, owen,
Combe, Gray, Thompson, Morgan,
Bray, the Chartists. Blanqui, Prou-
dhon, Pecqueur, CADET, Leroux, Blanc,
and many lesser lights. Beer has ac-
complished the seeming impossible in
giving not only the essence of the
ideas of each of these writer's and
leaders, but also the social and eco
nomic setting, the background and
significance of each, in a manner
which is thoroly in the spirit Of the
modern revolutionary worker, all with
in the compass of one small book
OF particular interest are the brief
pages in which Beer shows that the
demand for democracy" in the early
revolutionary movement, and in the
Communist Manifesto of Marx and
Engels, had nothing in common with
the sickly conception Of the present
day socialdemocrats = the Bergers
and Hillquits. The demand for the
rule of the people" was demand for
the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Thus Beer quotes Louis Bland ellis
torie de dix ans"): THE people is
the whole of the citizens who, pos
sessing no capital, are completely de-
pendent upon others for the necessi-
ties OF life" And Charles Beranger
lin petition to the Chamber of Dep
uties, Feb. 3, 1891: THE people is
the whole OF those who work, who
are robbed of their sociAl existence,
who possess nothing; you know whom
| mean: the proletariat." And En-
fantin's criticism Of the July revo-
luton: "the people or the proletariat
fought on the barbados, but after
the victory the bourgeoisie armed ag-
ainst the proletariat."
Beer goes on TO say:

There is plenty of material on
