The Russian Delegations Record

When the British capitalist press insinuated
that the Russian trade union delegation was not
working class in makeup the London Daily Herald
made reply that will become historic. Never has
the British trade union movement entered into
negotiations with a delegation whose record of
working class origin struggle, suffering and sacri-
flee, compares with that of the Russian delegation
Not one of the Russian union delegates but
began work at an early age, not one of them but
spent many years of their lives in the prisons of
the czar for revolutionary activity not one of
them but has been in the labor and revolutionary
movement all their lives.
None of them has ever accepted $150,O00 bribe
from biscuit manufacturer, none of them have
ever cOnniyed at the bombing of Hindu peasants
and workers, none of them has ever attended a
royal function or been dined by the nobility, but
all of them bear the of the battles of their
class in which they have taken leading part
1t was because they were workers and not takers
that the British capitalist press attacked them.
British labor has answered and more than one
British labor faker with middleclass eanings has
been forced to blush.

Communist Campaign in
Minneapolis

Dan Stevens, Communist for years one Of the
most active union men in the Twin Cities at one
time or another having held every responsible post
within the gift of the labor movement and now
president of Painters Union 1885, is candidate for
mayor of Minneapolis.
He is running on the Communist platform after
the efforts of the local party organization to form
a united front with the reformists on immediate
demands had been sabotaged by the reactionary
labor element which, in the last year and half has
become one of the most out and out bossridden
groups in the American labor movement.
Minneapolis is an important industrial center
and the Communist candidate will have the op-
portunity of putting the party program before
of workers.
The Communists have already won large fol-
lowing in Minneapolis and st. Paul by their work
in. the trade unions where they and they alone
have kept the reactonaries from disrupting it and
turning the fragments over to the employers as
ISOLATION.
The issues in the Minneapolis election are clear
cut. 1t is a question of the workers candidate
against the capitalists and their tools in and out
of the labor movement The campaign will be car
ried on in the factories, the unions and on the
streets and will result in great gains for the Com
munist Party in Minneapolis largest city be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast.

COMMUNISTS War
ON OPEN SHOP
IN LOS ANGELES
Non-Union Wages Paid
In San Pedro Harbor
by J. STEVENSON
Especial to The Daily Worker.)

LOS ANGELES, April 24.-"The
open shop must 60" This is
the opening slogan ON the program
of Comrade Ed. Harris, the Workers
(Communist) Party candidate for
councilman in the municipal cam
paign in progress at San Pedro.
The Harbor district Of Los Angeles
San Pedro--is beginning once again
to come to life. When the petty
bourgeois elements are congratuIating
themselves that at least these pesky
Com-moon-ists have been stamped out.
10 and behold, up they come, fresher
than ever!
open Shop Holds Sway
We are hard at work, holding open
air meetings, distributing literature,
and taking every possible advantage
of the respite ESQ far) from police
interference, to reach the workers
of this city with the message Of Com
munism.
Since the strike on the waterfront
two years ago, the longshore organ
izations have been losing ground. The
|. L. A. has dwindled in membership
and is but skeleton of its former
self.
The I. W. W. is non-existent as
an organized force and the open shop
holds sway; some of the crafts have
a semblance Of union conditions, par
ticularly in the building trades and
also amongst the culinary workers,
but this advantage is overcome by
the state of disorganization at the
vital point, on the waterfront.
Non-UnIon Wages
The scale of wages paid to mechan-
les who are municipal employees, is
lower than the union rate, yet this
is tolerated we suppose under the
argument of not putting too heavy
a burden on the taxpayers! The oil
companies and the shipyards are in
the same category, less wages and
non-recognition of the unions.
Doheny the Scab
It is significant that Mr.. Doheny of
Teapot Dome renown is having his
palatial steam yacht "The Casiana"
overhauled by the Los Angeles Ship
building corporation, one Of the scah-
best, lowest paying, labor hating out
fits on the Pacific Coast.
These few facts go to show that we
have some work ahead, and we feel
in good condition for getting in some
ticks before we are many moons older.
hence our slogan "The open shop
must co." N

The BARRIERS Agreement

The offcialdom of the local BARRIERS union is
trying to force an arbitration agreement on the
membership. If the committee of the union and
the master BARRIERS cannot agree third party
is to be called in.
The rank and file BARRIERS should remember the
deal handed out by States Attorney Grove to the
coal transfers and helpers when he was the third
man in an agreement of this kind last winter. The
ton of the provision that forced them to unload
the coal and carry it wherever the purchaser
wanted it, in addition to driving their wagons and
trucks. Grove gave them sixty cent raise and
told them to go to hell with the rest of their de-
mands. His word was final
The real issue for the BARRIERS is shorter work
day. The proposedagreement gives a nominal raise
of So per week, but it is no raise at all because
most of the BARRIERS are already getting the scale
called for in the new agreement Nothing is said
about shorter hours.
International President Shaughnessy and Sec
rotary Treasurer Fischer are in Chicago, sup
posedly to take up the union insurance plan, but
in reality to help the local officials put over the
fake agreement.
The machine element has been making threats
of violence against the progressves as part Of the
plan to prevent any opposition developing at the
meeting to be held in Ashland Auditorium Sunday.
where Shaughnessy and Fischer will speak.
Whatever is worth having is worth fighting for
and the progressives should put their program be-
fore Sundays meeting at all COSTS They may
be defeated but they will have shown the mem
bership the difference between militant program
and one of surrender to the bosses.
