In spite of this, an opposition to
the MacMahon- Conboy machine has
shown some fighting capacity for
progressive measures. This comes
from the Full-Fashioned Hosiery
Workers and the Carpet Workers, be-

spectively. This group shows a fairly
militant spirit in fighting for a better
organization and defends the Passaic
strikers from the attacks and insults

MaemGsion Proves Himself

MacMahon has shamelessly attacked
the Passaic strike, just as he did in
the mass meeting at Passaic. Here
he said it was an "ill-advised" strike
and admitted that he took the strik-
ers into the union only because he
was forced to do so. He admitted
having had emissaries in the strike
zone from January 25th onward, and

He wound up by saying that the

However, now that the strikers had

must do everything possible to help
them organize and to get relief.

.it is necessary that we take up
the slogan KEEP THE DAILY

out ways and means whereby we can
get the members in the union inter

organizer and which edpcates the
workers and farmers for independent
political action, and finally for a

the furriers' union. The audience ap.
plauded when the furriers present
arose and shouted, Monet"
All Rise.
Finally when the Workers Party
speaker asked how many in the
audience agreed with his picture of
the present government; how many
liked that picture, and how many
were willing to join with the Workers
Party in a fight to change it from a
corporation government to a workers
and farmers government, the audience
rose to its feet almost to man.
Comedy Begins.
Then the comedy element of the
evening began. Mr.. Mandel, republi-
can speaker, declared: These things
that Mr.. Wolfe has been telling you, l
do not know whether they are true
or not. do not know anything about
such things. l only know that Mr..
Rubin is good man and loves the
people, and whether you like the re-
publican party or not, l ask you to
vote for Mr.. Rubin. If you cannot
find it in your heart to vote for Mr..
Rubin, then please vote for Mr.. Ship
lakoff." By this time the audience
was in an uproar Mr.. Mandel went
from one stupidity to another until the
walls of the jammed hall rocked with
the laughter of the audience.
Democrat Is Wiser.
The democratic candidate, Senator
Hastings, was a little less stupid and
put up a fairly clever argument as to
AL Smith having pardoned Gitlow and
restored civil liberty to the state of
New York Che discreetly forgot the
injunctions and wholesale arrests),
and he argued that while both old
parties might be as black as Wolfe
had painted them, yet there were
some good men in them, and among
these good men was himself, Senator
Hastings and Al Smith. He also at
tempted to discuss the differences be-
tween evolution and revolution and
invited the workers to come in mass
into the ranks of the democratic party
and capture it for peaceful evolution
towards new social order. But by
this time the audience was in no mood
to listen to him, and the evening end
ed with a prolonged demonstration for
the Workers (Communjst) Party, for
The DAILY WORKER, for the Fret
heit, for GitloW and for Wolfe.
The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the Non-Partisan Workers
Club, one of the many working class
organizations affiliated with the
Brownsville Workers Center, which
meets at So Liberty avenue, Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Nov. s. - The four

Wolfe Speaks First.
The Communist speaker was the
first to take the platform and painted
a picture Of our present government

crooked banker as vice-president,
multi-millionaire footing the treasury
department in his care and a govern
mental machinery in which the courts,
the army and the police were used to
smash strikes and destroy the work

the democratic party representatives
present, and conspicuous by their big
election worker badges, applauded
along with the rest of the audience
because the whole attack was on the
republican administration. But when
Wolfe asked the audience which presi-

He told how in the face of this gov

Work in Unions.
Considerable time was devoted by
the conference to the trade union
work, which is so closely linked up
with the success of all the party ac-
tivities. The nuclei stand instructed
to take roll call at their meetings
with view of getting the nonunion
members into unions. The district
trade union committee is preparing de-
tailed instruction on how one can
join the union and on work of the
trade union fractions.

be taken by the Agitprop department
which would help to improve the or

work and for providing training for

One can easily find an explanation
of this condition in the objective eco
nomic and political situation in this
country. But we must not close our
eyes to the fact that we ourselves are
to a large extent responsible for the
small membership of the party. Com
munists are like busy bees engaged
year in and year out in various cam
paigns of a political nature and tax
ing active part in various labor or
CARNATIONS. This applies to both the
leading party committees and to the
rank and file.
Busy in other Fields.
The result is that we fail to pay
sufficient attention to the organiza-
tional side of the party work, fail to
utilize the various favorable situations
for increasing the party membership
and to pay sufficient attention to the
numerous workers who are in agree
ment with the Communist movement
in order to take them in as members.
MdNGS f-ldHSs
The party in Pittsburgh has real
lied this fact and decided to immedi-
stely take steps to remedy the situa-
ton. A special small organization
committee was appointed, which
meets regularly and quite frequently
TO consider nothing but problems deal
ing with activization of the party units
and with recruiting of new members.
Conference Held.
For the purpose of considering
these problems a city conference was
held in Pittsburgh, at which delegates
of every nucleus of the city were pres
ent and which took up a number of
problems dealing with organization,
agitprop and trade union work. At
ter a detailed analysis Of the results
of the party reorganization the con-
ference adopted a number Of motions
which would help to place each and
every nucleus on a functioning basis.
These motions follow:
Motions Passed.
