Younu1 Striker.

On Wednesday morning while walk
ing down Eighth street in the picket
line about ten policemen rushed over,
grabbed me by the arm, rushed me
out of the line and ordered me off
the street for no reason at all. This
happened about fifteen minutes after
six o'clock, as we were just going to-
wards the Gera mills to do our daily
picket duty. 1t is getting so that you
will have to go to Washington, d. c.,
and get a passport to go thru the
streets Of Passaic to get to different
sections of the city.
Not only do police call the citizens
Of Passaic all kinds OF dirty names
which they don't deserve at all, but
his is what they receive in return
after they voted an increase in wages
for the Passaic police. Now when the
people want an increase in wages and
better living conditions they get ar
rested and dubbed for going on a
strike for their rights. 1t is the peo-
pies own fault, for they put this kind
of men in Office when they should
never be there.
The next time an election comes
around they will know whom to vote
for and for whom not. The police and
bosses work together as everyone
can see now. They tried different
methods to break up the strike, but
they failed as the people are too strong
for them. Now that they failed in
clubbing the people they send false
letters and kilograms with our organ
izer's name signed to 1t, saying the
strike is settled, but the people only
laugh at them and knaw 1t is another
trick of the bosses. i,

LABOR TRAITORS
Big Biz Servants to Knife
British Unions

WASHINGTON, March 30,-Sent to
America to visit big industrial plants
and report, on the eve of British la
boris crisis set for May 1, on the ad-
vantages enjoyed by conservative
America labor, eight British trade
unionists, financed by Lord Rother-
mere's Daily Mail, have reached Wash
ington. or
They were received at the American
Federation of Labor headquarters and
presented to the members of the exec
utive council, in session March 26,
and in turn gave dinner to the coun-
Gil at the Hotel Mayhower, Washing
toms biggest hotel.
None of these eight men is a labor
leader or a prominent spokesman in
British labor conventions. Their mis-
sion, arranged by the foremost British
newspapers arrayed against the pro
gram Of the British Trade Union Con
gress, is one of showing that British
labor would be wiser to be less bel
ligerent toward the organized eRploy
ers. 1t has been denounced in Britain
as mission of treason to the British
labor movement, coming as it does on
the eve of possible nationwide strike
and lockout in which the government
may seek to crush the unions by the
use OF militarized Organization on the
railways and in themines.
The individuals whom Lord Rother-
mere sent here are e. II. Gill, con-
structional iron worker; S. Radcliffe.
machineman; T. Murray, pattern
maker; w. Wareing, hitter; J. T. Kay,
iron molder; c. Wilkinson, turner;
A. Browning, blacksmith, and A. A.
Wildman, tool turner and filter.

Dawes plan. Thru our work the feel
cause l expressed myself against the
ings are now exactly the other way
round. Even Macdonald must now
stammer excuses for the Dawes plan.
The resolution adopted at the Scar
borough congress shows the success
of the left wing movement In the
struggle against Imperialism. The
aim of the party with regard to the
zinoviev letter was to prove its falsity
and to force Macdonald to withdraw.
The first aim has been reached, today
no one any longer believes in the truth
of the letter.
The second aim has not yet been
achieved, Macdonald, is too cowardly
to withdraw. With regard to the cam
paign for the unity Of the trade union
movement, after the return of the
trade union delegation from Soviet
Russia we were successful in break
ing the Ice Of silence maintained by
the trade union leaderships by active
work and by the calling of a confer
ence. Ill
We have to thank. our successes
mostly to the objective situation, but
the party was also a force making for
progress. At the present moment we
must concentrate our, work upon the
mobilization against the offensive OF
capitalism, upon the, organization OF
the left wing inside the labor party
and it's connection with the trade
union left wing, upon the closer con
nection of the co-operatiyes with the
trade unions and upon the struggle
against Locarno. 10 g,f
We must pay special attention to
the youth movement With a correct
estimation of the problems and with
good bolshevist work the party will be
not only the left wing movement, but
able to influence in a leading fashion
also the whole proletariat.

commissions are meeting. In the

egates will visit the Moscow fac

International Press Correspondenee.)
MOSCOW, U. S. s. L., Feb. 26.-(By
4N1 Mail) The tenth session Of the
enlarged executive Of the Communist
international was opened under the
chairmanship OF Comrade Geschke.
After the discussion upon the re-
port upon activities was ended, the
enlarged executive listened to the re-
port Of the Communist Party of Great
Britain, which was presented by Com
EAde Ferguson: 1.-THE objective sit
nation Is correctly characterized in
the theses by the phenomena OF
eclipse. Examples of this are: the
position Of the coal industry; the lack
OF orders in the shipyards, the perma-
nAut unemployment from one and
ha9 to two millions. The employers
ere no longer able to make small con-
cessions to the working class from
their super-proflts from the colonies.
They are even taking concessions
which they had already granted back
again. These facts are decisive for
the objective basis for the successes
Of the Communist Party OF Great Brit
ain.
The offensive Of capitalism ex-
presses itself in the formation Of
atrikeIbreaking organizations, in the
encouragement OF the fascists, in the
worsentng of labor legislation and in
the creation OF laws which aim d.
rectly against the working class.
That has, however, also its reverse
side. The democratic illusions OF the
workers are beginning to disappear.
The party had to take this into con-
sideration.
An advantage which the Communist
Party of Great Britain has over all
other sections Of the Comintern is
that it has absolutely no fractional
struggles to contend with. The rea-
son for this is that the party leader
ship is closely connected with the
membership. Before the issue OF d.
receives the membership is always
consulted. The party press has made
great progress: three years ago the
weekly paper had 5000 subscribers;
today, despite the bad distrfbutive
conditions, 1t has 10000.
In the trade unions the party mem

way men and the textile workers, to-
day, however, we have won great
influence, thanks to the reality Of our
slogans and to our close work with
and in the masses. In the last textile
workers strike the Communists sue
ceeded, despite the opposition of the
leaders, in establishing everywhere
local committees Of action, and these
local committees are now about to be
formed into international organiza-
lions. The party does not merely
organize the existing left wing move
ment, but it sets the workers in ac-
ton against the offensive of capital
ism. In many circles there is the
opinion that the increased power Of
resistance on the part of the working
class is due in the ultimate to the
