stated that socialist construction will
be successfully achieved with the
help of the world revolution but at the
same time, 1t is itself one of the driv-
ing forces of the revolution.
Sen Katayama (Japan) declared
that the opposition lacks faith in the
creative forces of the proletariat and
the general forces of the Soviet I'm
ion. The Comintern, he said, was the
general staff of the world revolution,
and the strictest discipline of all sec.
tons in the struggle against right and
left tendencies was necessary for the
liquidation of fractional strife and the
achievement of its great tasks.
Bodeman, on behalf of the Belgian,
Swiss and Dutch Communist parties
read a declaration unanimously sup
porting the position of the Communist
Party of the U. S. S. r. He declared
the three parties will oppose unani-
mously the new onslaught of the op-
position. The opposition is guilty of
unprecedented breach of discipline,
factional activities, pessimism and
lack of principle. The opposition's
activities are stimulating all anti-So-
Wet enemies, he declared, in their
new struggle against the proletarian
dictatorship and engender the danger
of new worldwide factional strife.
Poland Supports.
Prukkniak (Poland) said that the
Polish delegation unanimously joins
in the plenum's repulse of the opposi-
ton. The Western European masses,
he stated will advance as heretofore
under the banner of the Communist

Comintern.

Severe Charges.
The opposition is bitterly fighting
the c. P. S. U. and its feminist central
committee; 1t is appealing to the
direction Of its enemies to whom ii
is supplying anti-party material, and
thus is directly or indirectly sup
porting world imperialism and at
lacking the proletarian dictatorship.
Amidst stormy applause Thaelmann
concluded sying that our most import.
ant task is to hquidate all fractional
work. Together, the c. P. S. U. the
Comintern and the revolutionary
workers of the world on the basis Of
Leninism and relentless Bolshevist
struggle against factionalism will
build socialism in the U. S. S. r. and

Bella Szanto of Hungary read dec

the opposition's attacks have failed

1000 Vote TO
SUPPORT JOINT
BOARD IN N. Y.
Hyman Exposes Sig
mans Treachery


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-That COM
pIete vlndIcation OF left wing leader
ship was testified to by the two mass
meetings held in Webster Hall and
Manhattan Lyceum, when a total Of
1000 striking eIoakmakers unanimous
ly endorsed the present management
OF the strike was claimed by Louis
Lyman, manager of the Joint board
and chairman of the general strike
committee in a statement issued to-
day.
Hyman, Charles Zimmerman and
other "ousted" strike leaders were
given tremendous ovations at both
meetings and resolutions were pass
ed unanimously condemning the ac-
ton of Morris Sigman and his forces
in attempting to obtain illegally and
by force the control of the joint board
and Of using the strike to advance
their political ends.
How sigman Got in.
in Hyman's statement he explains
how it is possible for the general
executive board of the international
to move against the leadership of the
strike despite the fact that the great
majority of the membership is whole
heartedly in his favor.
"Sigman was reelected to the In
ternational presidency at a conven-
ton held year ago this December.
His election was the result of the
delegate system by which it was pos
sfble for him to win the election with
rs per cent of the membership only
voting for him whereas rs per cent
voted for me. 1t was decided at that
convention that the International
president should introduce a referen-
dunn to the membership asking them
whether or not they favored a change
in the election system to one of pro-
portional representation. This refer
endum was to be introduced within
six months. Sigman has not intro
duced it as yet. Sigman, too fright
ened to have a vote taken on such a
referendum, knowing 1t would spell
death to his leadership, and yet fear
ing he would be forced to do so if
the present strike were successfully
settled, raised the cry Of Communism
as an excuse to allow him to forciblJ
seize the control OF the joint board
and the locals.
I'VE have information that Sigman
sent agents to members of the Ameri-
can Association who were on the
point of settlement with us, urging
them to delay settlement and promis-
ing more concessions If settlements
were delayed until they could seize
control. The lockout of the Ameri-
can Association which proved a fiss-
co was the result.
"Sigman is thus responsible himself
for the delay in the settlement Of
the strike.
1.-THE hypocrisy of Sigman's attack
on the leadership Of the strike is de-
monstrated by the fact that he and
his friends hold responsible positions
on the strike and conference com
mittees. They aided in negotiating
the agreement with the Industrial
Council. They had as much inform
alton then as today on the. way the
strike was being conducted. Why did
they wait until this late hour to make
their charges?"

Hall and Manhattan Lyceum were Hy-

Referring to Smith as the chairman

that "the said Samuel insult was, ac-
cording to the testimony Of himself,
