order TO put into force these anti-labor
laws, the bill provides that the United
States marshall shall secure the
! names and addresses of all foreign
born workers. This means cataloging
the foreign-born workers for prosecu-
ton and persecution at the hands of
the agents of the employing class. II
means the setting up of big army
of government agents who shall be
charged with doing nothing else ex-
cept cajoling and terrorizing the
workingmen who happen temporarily
to have certain language difficulties
or be at a disadvantage because of
their having arrived from a foreign
country.
The McClintic bill like the Aswell
and other bills, also pretends to speak
in the interests of the foreign-born
workers. But no honest working man
will be fooled by this ruse Every
worker will understand the purpose Of
these bills. Any legislative measure
which aims to deport workers to coun-
tries in which they may be imprisoned,
tortured or even killed, is not a bill
in the interests of the workers. Every
bill proposed in congress which aims
to limit the freedom, the motions of
the working masses, regardless OF
nativity, is not measure put forward
in the interests of the working class.
Dangerous union-Busting Machine.
TIME McClintic bill aims to set up
4 deadly efficient strike-breaking
and union-smashing machinery. In
order to stop this bill from becoming
law it is the task Of the workers
to smash the hanks of the open
shoppers and the labor-hating crew,
that are behind this bill. If this
bill should become law, it will be
enacted, in reality, by the working
class of this country. There is no
doubt that if organized labor in par-
ticular and the working masses in
general show a strong front against
this measure, 1t will not be enacted
as law. This bill must be killed and
killed in quick time. If this bill lives.
trade unionism will die. The Nc
Clintic bill will let loose a deportation
mania which can do nothing else ex-
cept undermine, weaken and paraIyse
the fighting capacities Of the whole
working class in the United States.
Every working class organization
in the United States must denounce
and oppose this bill with all its might
and main.

Concluded from last issue)
Dealing with the activity of the An
glo-Russian unity committee, Tomsky
declared, that perhaps from the point
of view of Communism it's decisions
and declarations left much to be wish
ed for, one should perhaps have inten-
sifed one or two expressions used
against the opponents of trade union
unity, but politically considered, that
which was said was essentially cor
rectly said in order to make it accept
able to the working class or to the
European trade union functionaries.
The Anglo-Russian bloc has complete
ly justified itself and this is corrobo-
rated by the afiliation of the Finnish
and Norwegian trade unions to its
point of view. But to turn the Anglo
Russian committee into an English
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES committee
would mean to awaken the impression
OF an attempt to create a new trade
union international.
Tomsky declared that the British
trade unions were right in their de-
sire to take a few preparatory steps
before calling the conference, to dis
cuss with other trade unions, as far as
supporters of the idea of unity were
present in them and afterwards ap-
proach Amsterdam once again, and
then call the conference without for

this bill declares: Every alien adj
mitted to the United States on and
after the passage of this act who
does not make application to become
citizen within a day of three years
shall be eligible for deportation"
Closing the Doors of Citizenship
to the Workingman.
ITO the superficial observer, it would
appear that these gentlemen from
Louisiana and Oklahoma are very
anxious that the foreign-born workers
should become citizens Of the United
States. The fact is quite the contrary.
These lackeys of the employing class
have not introduced a single bill to
make it easier for foreign-born work
ers to become citizens of the United
States Instead, they have spent their
time working feverishly to enact laws
to cut down the mobility, to limit she
rights and destroy the freedom Of the
foreign-born workers.
1t is an easy task to say that
foreign-born worker should become a.
citizen in three years after he lands.

ton of Labor is opening the door to
the tricksters of the Long type to lay
every crime at the door of organized
labor
Need Militant Policy.
A militant policy is demanded by la
Dor today. The unorganized worker
will not join the unions for the sake
Of being in union. What protection
does the union give him? What will
he get out of paying his dues and
assessments? These are the questions
that the workers ask, for they see
no advantage in belonging to a UNI
ion, especially as In most cases
with the exception of the building
trades-they must work in open shops.
And in some instances, their pay as
organizes men, is lower than that Of
unorganized men.
Unemployment Increases.
Unemployment is increasing in this
state. Steel mills, automobile facto-
ries are cutting down their forces.

ton and for the political resolution.
the resolution of the officials meeting
OF the Leningrad district upon the in
formational report of Yevdokimov and
other delegates to the party congress
who. had left the party congress in
order to justify the attitude of the
Leningrad delegation to the Lenin-
grad organizations, was reported. In
this resolution the officials meeting
declared that they had been misled
by few leaders of the Leningrad or
ganization by the action of the latter
at the Leningrad party conference in
concealing their differences of opinion
with the central committee. and in de-
claring their solidarity with the acti-
witty of the central committee and
then voting suddenly az the party con-
gress against the ratification of the
policy of the central committee.
The Leningrad party organization
sharply condemns the fractional at.
tempts of the Leningrad delegation in
the party congress and adopts the de-
cisions Of the party congress complete
ly as these decisions represent the
conviction of the whole party.
The party congress welcomed the
meetings OF the Leningrad organize
lions with stormy applause.
Comrade Clara Zetkin then greeted
the party congress in the name of the
Communist Party Of Germany.

drafting of the resolution in this con-
nection was handed over to a COM
mittee.
Leningrad for United Party.
In the same session the party CON
gress received the greetings of nu-
merous delegates from various dis
tricts and from the largest shop nuclei
of the Leningrad organization. The
delegates declared, that the Leningrad
delegation had broken the decisions of
the Leningrad party conference which
had voted unanimously its complete
confidence in the central committee,
that the Leningrad Pravda misled the
party members and that the Lenin-
grad workers and Communists had
learnt with the greatest indignation
OF the voting against the resolution
upon the political report, which they
accepted fully. The Leningrad party
members, in contradistinction to the
Leningrad delegation in the party con-
gress, would not oppose themselves to
the whole party, but would fight for
theacomplete carrying out of the party
decisions and for real maintenance
of an iron party unity, above the
heads of a few leaders. The speakers
communicated numerous unanimous
decisions of their shops to this effect

ton had taken an attitude similar to

Tomslxy Speaks on the Work of the Trade Unions

NAL character between. the Russian
unions and Amsterdam.
Will Amsterdam Refuse Again7
l am no prophet, said Tomsky, but
l believe that Amsterdam will also
reject this conferencesT The future will
show whether or not we must per-
haps look for other ways, perhaps to-
gether with the English to call con-
ference of the trade unions in favor
of trade union unity, perhaps once
again thru Amsterdam, or above its
head call the workers of the whole
world to unity.
The numerous demonstrations of
solidarity from various countries in
favor of the Anglo-Russian committee
show that its program is in accord
ance with the real spirit and needs
of the international working class 1t
must be absolutely dear for every
one that the creation of united in
ternational embracing not only Eu-
rope, but also the young trade unions
of Japan, China and Australia and lat
er also America would be the great
est gain of the international working
class movement For the first time
in history the whole internationally
organized class of wage workers
would stand opposed to the capitalist
class.
The next task of the Russian un-
ions is to establish brotherly and

friendly relation with the trade I'M
ions of the East, in particular with
those of Japan. The calling of a world
congress of trade unions with proper
tional representation would in the
opinion of the Russian unions be the
best method of creating a united
trade union International. Neverthe-
less, one cannot yet say which way
the struggle for unity will go. For
us, unity is no agitational maneuver
to expose the social traitors, they
have been exposed and exposed and
exposed again. 1t would not be worth
while to undertake such complicated
maneuvers against them. For us
unity is great strategic maneuver of
the class struggle in the truest and
widest sense of the world. Our aims
are to bring the workers together
against the dangers of war and
against the economic and political of
fensive of capitalism, to establish the
cooperation of the revolutionary
workers outside Russia and inside
Russia, to propagate the experiences
of the latter. The struggle for unity
is difficult, but we must and will fight
it to its end. (Applause).

in the discussion which followed:

make Roadway. Organized labor is not
to be frightened by such tricks. But
organized labor should also wake up
% the fact that the open shoppers
will go to any lengths in order to dis
credit the trade union movement and
to incriminate trouble makers"
The American plan association is
on the job in this state, and is proud
Of the fact that they have increased
their membership during the last
year. The trade union movement
must be unified. The unorganized
must be brot into the unions. The
campaign that the Cleveland FEEDER
alton of Labor, under the instructions
of the American Federation of Labor
is conducting TO organize the unor-
ganized is not vigorous enough. The
rank and file of organized labor must
be drawn into the organization cam
paign Men, women and young work
ers must be lined up and no SNUG self
satisfaction that "we are doing every
thing that can be done" will suffice.
The American plan association is
growing in power. Class collaboration
schemes, the buying of stock by the
workers-"to make them shareholders
In the operations Of the company"
etc. etc, are only tricks to win the
workers away from trade union or
ganization.

l. THE McCLINTIC BILL.

IL. The MCCLINIlC BILL.
THE bill introduced by Congress
man J. V. McClintic, OF Oklahoma
is an out-and-out deportation bill It
makes no pretense whatsoever at de-
laying persecution Of the foreign-born
worker by giving the latter an op-
portunity to enjoy the costly and
useless due-process of the law pro
vided for in other measures
The McClintic bill fits in very well
with the bill introduced by Congress
man Aswell. We have seen that the
bill introduced by the gentleman from
Louisiana provided for certain ar
rangements which made it much more
difficult for foreign-born workers to
become citizens of the United States.
The McClintic bill follows right on
the footsteps of the .Aswell bill and
declares that any foreign-born worker
who has failed to become a citizen,
without in the slightest way taking
into account the difficulties in the
path of becoming a citizen, is to be
punished very severely thru deporta-
ton.
To Deport the Unnaturaized Worker.
WE find that the bill declares that
w all workers who have been five
years or more in the United States
and who have not applied for citizen
ship papers shall be deported if an
application for citizenship is not filed
within six months of the enactment
of this bill as law.
This declaration is as effective a
strike-breaking weapon as that pro-
posed by the Aswell bill. 1t gives the
Department of Labor unlimited power
to cajole and prosecute workingmen.
It really turns the department of la
Dor into an open strikebreaking
agency.
Little time need be spent here in
examing the difficulties that interfere
with foreign-born workers becoming
citizens of the United States. We
simply want to cite one incident
which is typical rather than excep-
tional in the treatment accorded to
the foreign-born workers by the ruling
class of the United Statss.

coal miners in 1922, Judge Charles D.
