FIRST ARTICLE
BY WILLIAM F. dunno.

THE DAILY WORKER, the official
organ of our party, is we'll into
the third year of its existence.
Existence is a good word in this
connection because The DAHL Y
WORKER does not live and grow, but
merely exists, as the chronic financial
crisis proves.
The publication of The DAILY
WORKER in January, 1924, was, in
the opinion of the central committee
and the whole party as well, the first
step in the establishment of a mass
Communist press in the United States.
TODAY, The DAILY WORKER is
l. the official organ of our party
and nothing else.
If this is called an extreme state
ment then 1 submit the following
facts:
~ The total paid circulation of
The DAILY WORKER Is around
$4,000. This is some 1,oR0Iess than
the party membership sd that II any
exaggeration is to be charged 1t
must be against the statement that
The DAILY WORKER is actually
the official organ Of our whole party.
~ On the books ofthe business
office of The DAILY WORKER are
more than 10000 names, OF persons
who were once readers Of our paper
but who never renewed their sub
seriptlons.
Similar figures for newsstand sales
are not available but the proportion
must be about the same.
THE DAILY WORKER therefore
L has been able to retain as readers
only $4,000 out of the $4,000 people
who have been interested enough in
it and its policies to subscribe at one
time or another.
Small circulation and chronic
financial crisis are two sides of one
problem which arises from the fact
that our party has not succeeded after
more than two years Of effort in
making The DAILY WORKER a mass
paper.
Evidences of discouragement al
the lack of success Of our party in
this field are plentiful, more plentiful
in fact than suggestions as to how tt
remedy the deplorable condition.
THE most general impression is one
L that can be described as fatal
istic one. 1t consists in the categor
ical statement that the Overwhelming
majority of the American working
class will not read Communist paper

LORD OXFORD TO
ASK EXPULSION
/. OF LLOYD GEORGE
Liberal Party Faces a
Split in Ranks

LONDON, June Lord Oxford
Asquith and their followers are max
ing attempts to read Lloyd George out
of the liberal party for his stand dur
ing the general strike of the British
workers.
May Expel Lloyd George.
The followers of Lord Oxford are
thinking OF offering motion of cen
sure for the attitude taken by Lloyd
George. If this resolution passes it is
declared it will virtually mean the
expulsion of Lloyd George from the
liberal party.
Lord oxford has a majority of the
liberal party members of parliament
with him and as this meeting will be
restricted to members Of parliament
it can be easily expected that il such
motion is proposed it will pass.
The younger element in the liberal
party supporting Lloyd George de
clare that they will bolt from the lib
eral party and form new organiza-
ton.
The London Daily News, London
Chronicle, and the Manchester Guard
ian have been snpparting Lloyd
George for some time. Two national
liberal weeklies, the Nation and the
New Statesman have also thrown their
support behind Lloyd George.
Oil Masnate With Lord oxford.
The Westminster Gazette, a paper
having a small circulation owned by
the oil magnate Lord 5Gowdray, sup
ports Lord oxford.
The Lloyd George followers declare
that II their leader is read out of the
party they will enter the elections
with a platform that win be more rad
ical than the present liberal platform
and will seek to win the agricultural
sections.

COMPANY UNION
ISSUE AWAITED
IN R. R. SHOPS
Watson-Parker Law to
Determine Case

BOSTON, June 2.--The whole shop
force of the Boston and Maine rail
road is watchfully waiting what is go
ing to happen to labor unionism YER
sus company unionism under the new
Watson-Parker law when Coolidge
gets around to appoint the arbitrators
which under the law have practically
the last word and have their arbitra-
ton award made compulsory by the
courts.
Company unionism and the piece
work system have been grievances of
Boston and Maine shop workers for a
long time. The company union
proved a bitter joke to the workers
and failed to take up their complaints
The agents of the Mechanical EN-
ployes' Association" as the company
union is called, are paid $33 plus by
the railroad and only SIG plus by the
company union. But the agents didn't
show even that proportion of atten-
ton to the workers. Men who
couldn't keep up with the production
standards set under piece work were
dropped. Finally, the five officers Of
the Independent unions lodge were
discharged this Marcht
Bosses Try New Law.
The workers appealed to the U. s.
labor department and commissioners
Wood and Brown came. Boston and
Maine general manager, B. R. Pollock
refused to allow the commissioners to
attend the company union hearing Of
the discharged workers case. The
fired men then withdrew but later
succeeded in having the labor com
missioners attend a hearing with the
manager. Decisions went against the
men and they are still fighting for re
instatement. Their next move is tC
try out the new machinery by the
Watson-Parker bill which congress
passed.
There are about 1000 shop workers
now employed at Billerica, the main
shop of the B. and NJ. Normally
there are 1,400 at the shop.
There are more stool-pigeons thar
workers." one of the discharged work
ers said when asked whether the B
and M. had an Industrial espionage
system. Any worker discovered be
longing to an A. F. Of L. shop craft
union or to the independent is quickly
fired. Membership in the company
union is practically compulsory to hold
"a job, but payment ns dlaas --ss,.l~-l-r
is not insisted upon.
Union Sentiment Reviving.
The shop workers are not deluded
by the company union, but fear of los
ing their jobs, with the railroad cur
failing shop STATS, keeps them from
open rebellion. Interest in real unior
organization is reviying, Condor finds
and at the opportune moment will
likely stand up to company unionism
and throw it back into the face of the
railroad management which slipped il
over in the 1922 shop strike.

Fall of BRAND Seen

Cabinet Over Franc

PARIS, June Premier BRAND in
the next few days faces a crisis in the
chamber If he refuses again to con
sent to a discussion of the financial
situation. At a meeting of the radical

decided that IL BRAND refuses the

Of the right parties, the radical party

other maneuver to retain the support

New Orleans Unions
Boycott Open Shop
Bank for Lock-Ou

NEW ORLEANS, June 2.-As a
means of fighting the Canal Bank and
Trust Company, who have locked out
union labor in the erection of its new
home, G. Fitere has introduced a reso-
luton that the council address a com,
munication to each affiliated union,
advising that the building of the Canal
Bank and Trust company is unfair
to organized labor and requesting each
local union that if it has funds on de.
post in the bank to withdraw same
and place the funds in a bank that is
fair; also requesting individual mem
bers to do likewise.

One Victory Brings Re-
newed Struggles in
Perth AmbOy
BY IRVING FREEMAN.

PERTH AMBOY, N. J.-Ever since
the workers in the American Smelling
e. Refining Co. and Raritan Copper
Workers, one of the biggest copper re-
fineries in the world, went on strike
and succeeded in gaining a 5-cent in
crease In wages the unskilled and
semi-skilled workers of Perth Amboy
have been restless. Strikes are break
ing out every day in all the terra
Gotta, cigar and brick works, where
the workers are demanding increases
in wages.
One thousand workers in the Ma
tional Fireproofing Co. have been out
on strike since last Wednesday. Their
demands, which were refused by the
super, Mr.. Weaver, are for an in
crease in wages, time and one-half for
overtime and holiday work and no
discrimination against any of the
workers active in the strike. At the
meeting the super offered time and
one-half for Sunday work. He in
formed the workers that they were
the highest paid workers in the city
and that the company could not af-
ford to give them their increase.
Hard up company? They have so
many orders that the men are COM
PEELED to work overtime daily, and
they have refused to take on any
more orders because they cannot fill
them, due to their inability to turn
out greater production. Then these
bosses have the gall to tell the strik-
ers, that the company cannot afford
an increase. These workers are de-
termined to stay out until they get
their demands and all the workers are
taken back to work.
The, workers of the Atlantic Terra
Gotta Company, the largest manufac-
turers of terra Gotta in the world,
have gone out on strike. Their de-
mands are 10-cent increase in wages
per hour of time workers, a 10 per
cent increase in wages of the piece
workers and no discrimination against
any workers active in the strike. AT
meeting with their superintendent
he told the committee that the com.
pany could not afford an increase in
wages and that he wanted the firemen
to go back to work, otherwise the
kilns would get cold and the plant
would be tied up and that the office
workers would act as strikebreakers
/, and firemen. The answer at the
strike meeting was that no men
should go back to work, that the mill
gates should be picketed and the
workers urged to come out with them.
These workers are determined to get
the remaining rs workers in the plant
on strike and to picket the plants
morning and night until the bosses
come across with their demands and
more money. Picketing and mass
meetings of the strikers will be held
every morning in Columbia Hall, on
State street.
Several hundred women and chill
dren working in the Bayuk Cigar Co.
plant, manufacturers of the Philadel-
phia cigar. went out on strike this
morning demanding an increase in
wages. Discomfort has been rampant
in the shop ever since the company
has assumed the making of another
cigar. Preparations were being made
for mass meeting where these work
ers could formulate their demands.

Bill to Come Up

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2.-The
Holiday anti-alien bill introduced by
Representative William B. Holiday of
Danville, ILL.,, will be presented to the

house committee ON immigration has
acted favorably on this bill.
This bill is aimed especially at
those workers who participate in the
struggles of the workers for better con-
ditions. The proponents of the meas
ure thru their propaganda channels

runners and keepers of houses of
prostitution.

born worker can be deported on the
following grounds:
l. An alien excluded by law from
admission. ~

United States longer than authorized
by law.
4. An alien who becomes a public
charge from causes not arising subse-
quent to lawful entry.

etc.

NEW ORLEANS, June IA ship

Should the woman work for Labor
'arty? Yes, if she is a working class
oman. Why? Because she is a part
the working class. The working
lass must have a party of its own
ecause the worker must challenge
he power of the boss and the land
ord.
The boss and the landlord have
heir own parties-the democratic and
epublcan parties. Thru these par
les they control the government.
hru this control they have every
hing their own way. Originally
reated to serve their interest, they
make it more and more an instrument
OF their use. This is why the worker
'ets the worst of it in every direc-
ion.
Government Serves Boss.
When he strikes for more wages,
he government steps in and helps
he boss to win out against him. His
wife and children have less to eat,
}oorer clothes to wear, a poorer home,
)oorer education, poorer everything
because the boss has the big say in
he government.
When the worker has a quarrel
with the landlord-when he wants
over rents, better dwellings, more
light, more air, more heat in winter.
safety against fire, the landlord can
afford to smile at him. He is strong.
He has his strong political parties;
therefore, he has the courts, the DO
ice force, the sheriffs, every office in
he government is at his service! He
AN always go to his politician :,
t Is his America. The democratic
'arty, the republican party-they are
10Th the same-they belong to him.
The worker never gets a square deal
vhen it comes to a conflict between
imself and the landlord or the boss.
Why should he?-from a government
hat BELONGS to the capitalists, was
IADE to SERVE the capitalists
rom politicians who are not HIS
arty politicians.
Who suffers? The worl1ingman
My? No! Working woman, too
nd her children. If conditions in the
chool are bad-if the children are
in the classroom till the !
sacher nearly goes crazy trying to |
zach too many and can't really teach |
ny of them well-what satisfaction
o the mothers get for their children
rom the capitalist politicians in the
choOl boards or in city halls? None
t all. They are the servants of the
osses and the landlords. The chill

are-the workers children can get |
long with anything. Anything is |
God enough for the children of work
RS. SO say the landlords and the
Dossesi And what they say goes be-
cause they are in control. They are
bosses and landlords first. Catholics,
Jews, Black, white-born here, born
anywhere else in the world-whether
they believe in keeping down the
workers by one method or whether
they believe in keeping them down by
another method-THEY ARE CAPT
TALISTS, MEMBERS OF ONE
CLASS first. last and all the time;
they control politics as a class in
their own class interests.
Police Serve Bosses.
