Production conferences" is another
recent development, organized on the
initiative Of the party in factory, and
composed of workers and members of
the technical staff. These conferences
aim to increase production by study
ing all the reasons for low productions

all fields. Some $4,000 workers
in the Moscow district alone are in
such organizations. Cultural
''big brother" committees are also ini-
tiated in factories, where the workers
agree to interest themselves in i'm

committees, and there are now mil

MATTHEW VOL
FUMES AGAINST
BORAH, RUSSIA
Bitter Condemnation of
aor Passaic Action
Especial to The Daily workerl


Montreal, Aug. 91--Matthew Vol,
a vice-president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and member of its
Executive Council, in session here,
makes a bitter attack on Senator Bo-
rah for his interest in the Passaic
strike of textile workers.
The A. F. L. officialdom had follow
ed a policy of non-recognition of the
strike, and had rebuked the strikers
for appealing to the Council for aid
or organizational support without
first joining the United Textile Work
ers Union.
Hates Everything Progressive
A committee headed by Jett Lauck,
railroad labor economist, with the
participation and help of Senator Bo-
rah, succeeded in persuading the U.
T. w. to admit the 10000 militants on
strike in Passaic. Up until that time
the strike had been supported by pro
gressive labor on a voluntary basis,
and especially by Communists, both
in America and abroad.
VOL in his statement manages to
condemn Jet Lauck, Borah and the
Russian government all in one breath
After stating that the Lauck commit
tee could not approach the Executive
Council which recognized in this strike
only the United Textile Workers, VOL
continues:
Labor has no reason to look upon
the activity of Senator Borah as hav-
ing been friendly to the workers Oh
America. To the contrary, his con
slant efforts to have the United States
recognize Soviet Russia against the
constant protest of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor clearly indicates that
labor and Senator Borah are not in
accord either in matters political
economic, domestic or international
At the present time the United Tex
tile Workers are actually conducting
the strike as a result of the worS
Of, among others, Senator Borah. Al
the same time that Borah and Laucl
were trying to bring about this TO
suit, the American Federationist, or
gan Of the Executive Council, was
publishing large advertisements Of the
Botany Mills, the largest employer
concerned in the Passiac strike.
This is not the first time that Borah
and VOL have clashed. During the
consideration two years ago OF a Sena'
torial committee headed by Borah OF
the reasons for and against recogni-
ton Of Russia by the United States,
VOL became very angry when alleged
evidence he wanted to present against
the Russian government was rejected
by the committee as unreliable.

senting the women Of industry, in pro-
portions of one to every thirty or forty

elected to every ten women in indus

them gradually into participation in

into party work. AS result of this

7. The Trade Unions and Voluntary
Societies.
By ANISE,

BY ANlSE,
THE Communist Party makes no Sc
4 cret Of the fact that 1t controls
and leads" not only the Soviet gov
eminent, but the trade unions, the CO.
operatives and the host of voluntary
organizations which have sprung up
since the revolution. Running a state
is only part of the party's job; the
Soviet state, by itself, is not expected
to produce socialism. That is the job
Of the Communist Party, using the
state, the unions, the co-operatives,
the voluntary organizations as instru-
ments for the purpose.
Trade union membership has risen
in the past year and half from five
and a half million workers to seven
million seven hundred thousand. How
do the Communists control this vast
membership, of whom they form only
8 per cent? In every union, every
shop committee, the Communists form
their Traction" which always acts
together for its program. This is done
quite openly and simply; 1t is no more
resented by the rest Of the workers
than the students in an American uni
versity object when the athletic asso-
citation plans and puts thru some ath-
letic program with the tacit support
or even the cordial cooperation of the
less athletic students. The Commu-
mist program is not regarded as one
program set over against another pro-
gram; 1t is rather the joint program
Of the working class, formed by all
the workers who are energetic enough
and intelligent enough to care about
forming it, and who enter the Commu-
mist Party for that purpose.

Inner Party Democracy.
At every party discussion" claims
are made by the group which fails to
carry it's points that the party is run
by small group at the center dictat-
ing everything. To some extent this
is true in every large organization.
The party officially answers this
charge by stating that inner party
democracy consists
/. In the fact that all leading or
gans from the central committee down
to the factory committees are elected,
and that elected leaders are respon-
sible to the party in the person Of
central committee and local organiza-
lions.
2. In the fact that all members of
the party are drawn actively, as far
as possible, into the working life of
the party, and that all measures taken
by the center are first widely dis
cussed In mass organizations.
8. The fact that the framework Of
party leadership is systematically be-
ing widened.
The directing organ of the Ccmmu-
mist Party Is the central committee,
composed now of So members and As
alternates and holding sessions every
two or three months. This body elects
a political bureau of nine members
and FIVE alternates, which directs all
matters of political policy, and an or
ganization bureau Of eleven members
and five alternates, which decides on
organizational matters. Under these,
five secretaries (the chief of whom, of
course, is Stalin) carry on the party's

EDITOR, The DAILY WORKER,
IL Chicago, U. S. A.
Dear Comrade:-
On July 3rd you reprinted my article
entitled, "Who Needs These Declare
tions?" in which l exposed the ma
neuver of the so-called left wing"
leaders of the general council, who
were attempting to screen their past
treachery and prepare for future be-
trayals by means Of equivocal state
ments in the press. In the course of
this article l incidentally pointed out,
in friendly fashion, that our very
valuable comrades of the Sunday
Worker were unconsciously aiding the
misleaders by welcoming" their
hypocritical statements.
A LLOW me to point out to you that
"A you are entirely in error in say
ing that my article refers to the Sun
day Worker of June 18th. My refer
ence was las stated in the article)
first to a public statement by Swales,
Hicks, and Tillet published in Lans-
bury's Weekly (of May 22). The COM
ment of the Sunday Worker which
rightly criticised was contained in
their issue of May 20, mot the article
of three weeks later which you
quoted), which said: I'VE welcome
the statement issued by Swales.
Hicks, and Tillet the other day, just
as we do the other declarations in
today's Sunday Worker.
NOV 1t is true that three, weeks
~ later our good comrades on the
Sunday Worker had finally learned
the lesson which l Twas trying to point
out in May, in my article, namely that
Hicks & Co. were in a united front
with Thomas against the miners. That
is good, but 1t is not good that the
knowledge of these facts which 1t is
your duty to transmit to the readers
of The DAILY WORKER should be
confused by your erroneous editorial
note, which effectively serves to
divert the attention Of the readers
from the main subject, which is ex.
animation of the treacherous role
being played by the so-called left"
leaders, and fix II instead upon the
question Of whether the Sunday
Worker was correctly quoted or not
E1VEN at the moment when you were
II writing that editorial note. the
left" leaders were committing new
treason. They had tricked Cook into
new united front" with them, on
the basis OF silencing criticism and
determinations" Surely for those
who carry the buIpen OF guilt such as

RIGHT WING
SPLITS UNION
Organize Dual T r a d e S
Council at Battersea
Especial to The Daily Worker,

BATTERsEA, England, Aug. 81. -
A dual Trades Labor Council has been
set up here and is engaging in a
vicious attempt to destroy the official
council. This new body has the bles-
sings of Eccleston Square, that is the
oficialdom of the labor party.
The general opinion amongst active
workers in the labor movement at
Battersea is that this dual council is
but another attempt on the part of
the leaders of the labor party to split
the movement rather than let it be
controlled by Communists.
Comrade Saklatvala has the unques-
tionable support of the official council.
and has been returned as a Commun-
list member of parliament from this
constituency.
This has been thorn in the side
of the labor party leaders for some
time, hence their endorsement of the
dual council.
