Confiscation Referendum
in Germany Aid to Unity
of Workers and Farmers
BY J.,LoUIs ENoDAHL.

GERMAN Communists, altho de-
~ feated in their referendum to
confiscate the property, valued at
about $6OO,OOO,OOO, of the former
kaiser, four kings, six grand dukes,
five dukes, seven princes and their
respective dynasties, have won a
signal triumph for one of their most
ambitious united front actions.
The Communist victory lies in the
fact that not only the rank and file
of the German social-democratic
party (socialists), but great labor
masses from the bourgeois parties
also rallied in support of the Com
munist leadership against the
monarchist reaction. 1t was a tri-
umph for worker-farmer unity, grow
ing out of the united front tactics
of the Communist International.
The extent to which this Commun-
ist action penetrated deep into the
German masses is shown by the
fact that about 14,500,000 ballots
were cast in favor of confiscation,
whereas the total Communist and
socialist vote in the last reichstag
election, held Dec. Z, 1924, about Is
months ago, reached a total total
of only 1O,52O,963. Thus about four
million votes were drawn from the
professedly capitalist parties.
Workers the world over have
closely watched this effort of the
German Communist Party, the
greatest blow against the linden
burg regime, the inauguration Of
which gave new hope to monarch
ism in Germany and threatened the
republic.
The ex-kaiser, the ex-kings, the
ex-grand dukes, the ex-dukes, the
ex-princes grew bold with linden
burg's rise to power and demanded
the riches they had held under
Hohenzollern rule. Even their mis-
tresses publicly made their demands
for property they claimed was
theirs. In Saxe-Coburg-Gotha the de-
mands made totalled one-third of
the entire wealth of the principality.
The Communist proposal for a
confscation referendum hit the rep
tile head of kaiserism, again lifting
itself to strike at the German peo-
pie, squarely between the eyes. The
referendum was not taken seriously
at first. Four million names, signed
to petitions, were needed to mi
tiate it. This was huge task.
At first the socialist leaders OPP
posed it, making the usual socialist
attack on Communist united front
proposals. But the Communists
went to the social-democratic
masses and began winning them
over in such large numbers, that
the leaders were forced to recon-
slider the proposition and give It
half-hearted support.

TRIES TO STEAL
union ELECTION
IN CARPENTERS
Jensen to Count Out
No. 1886 and 1928
by A carpenter.l

Harry Jensen, former president OF
the Chicago Carpenters District Coun-
ell, known as a bosses man" for his
open shop agreements, was defeated
in the district council elections by
Fred Bobzin, in spite of corrupt cleo
ton methods by the Jensen machine,
which is now trying to disfranchise op-
posing locals and thereby steal the
election. All tricks are being used to
keep Jensen in office.
Tally Committee Reports Friday.
Next Friday, June 25, at the district
council meeting, the Tallying commit
tee-handpicked by the Jensen ma
chine-will report the results of the
elections. 1t is expected they will re-
commend that Local Unions 1886 and
1928, be disfranchised and their vote
ruled out, on the claim that No. 1856
has not sent in the ballots in proper
form, and No. 1928 has not paid its
per capita tax.
Such will be their argument. But
the facts are-that by ruling out of
both these locals, Harry Jensen may
win the election by the skin of his
teeth-104 votes.
Maybe Somebody Knows Him.
Jensen was busy on the night Of the
election. He was out furnishing a
good time" with all the trimmings OF
liquid refreshments to one Of the Off
Gals of Local 1856. Later, "mysteri-
GUS" person, claiming to be a member
Of the Tally committee, called on the
secretary of Local 1855 and asked for
the ballots. So it is said. The sec
rotary claims he gave the ballots to
this mysterious" person, with the re-
suit that both the ballots and the
mysterious" gangster friend of Jen'
sen who took them have disappeared.
Jensen's Tallying committee will
naturally, try to deprive all the mem
bers of Local 1856, of their vote be.
,ause OF this.
II Makes A Lot Of Difference.
Prior TO the election, Local 1928 was
lealt with by Jensen as one in good
standing The official ballots were
ient to It for the district council cleo
ion. But as soon as the returns from
Local 1928 was found to have gone
against Jensen, the brilliant discovery
was made that Local 1928 was in bad
standing"
Jensen is now tightening up his ma
chine for the adoption OF the Tally
committees report on Friday night al
the district council meeting. He is, in
addition, preferring charges against
Frank Larsen, the progressive who
was elected Warden and whom he
could not defeat even by counting out
the votes OF Locals 17S6sand 1928.
This move against Larsen is to bar
him from the meeting OF the district
council where the installation Of Off
GERS takes place and thereby deprive
him OF the wardenship. Many things
can happen between now and Friday
night. The rank and file who do not
like election steals may yet cheCI
Jensen's tricks. q

especial to The Daily Worker,


WASHINGTON, June 21.-The first
charge Of Illegally in Pennsylvania
Ss,ooo,ooo senatorial primary was
made today before the senate sIush
fund committee by Senator Reed,
democrat, Of Missouri, chairman.
Reed said the finance committee of
the business mans committee of Phil

laws by accepting contributions to
the Ware campaign fund without max.
ing a return to the secretary of the
commonwealth.

This charge came during examina-
ton of Albert M. Greenfield, Phfladel-
phia real estate dealer, and angel
Of the Ware campaign, who said that
his contributions to the Ware fund
totalled s125.OOO.
Greenfield explained that the
finance committee, of which Charles
H. Tuft, president of the Metropolis

was chairman, was a subsidiary of
the general are-Beidleman campaign
committee, and all the money was
turned over to the general commit.

1T isn't fair to say we were doing

Greenfield.

so" snapped Reed.
Greenfield had testified that Jules
f. Mastbaum, Philadelphia president
Of the Stanley company of America,
had given the committee a $4,000
check and also $4,000 in cash.
Conflicting Testimony.
Greenfeld's testimony conflicted

"A Few Collections"
Senator Reed demanded that Green

the committee he had mo connec-

than to raise a few collections"
Greenfield earlier said that he had
raised "only about $4,000"

Not only the four million names
required, but more than three times
that number, 12.50O,0OO in all, were
put down on petitions, in spite of
the fact that the employers could
use it as huge blacklist against
the workers and farmers.
The German rulers were in a
panic. The referendum struck at
the sacred rights of private proper
ty Confscation of the property of
the deposed monarchists might be
followed by somewhat similar ac-
ton against the reigning industrial
lists. The success Of the petition
guaranteed the triumph of the
referendum if the recognized rule
demanding majority of the vote
cast could be made to apply.
The referendum was defeated,
however, when the subterfuge was
brought into play, that the PROPOSE
ton was a constitutional change
and required not only that MAORI
ty Of the votes cast must be Sc
cured, but that. majority of all
qualified voters must cast their bal
lots. The referendum was thus de-
feated by the opponents of confisca-
ton remaining away from the poll
Ing booths, only about 100000 vot-
ing. The German workers will not
fail to understand this trick Of cap
italist democracy. Thirty-six per
cent OF the total vote was for con-
fiscation. The supporters of mon
archism didn't dare vote.
Far-reacRing effects would have
resulted from a victory for confis-
cation. 1t is declared Won linden
burg would have resigned along
with some of his ministers, the
reichstag would probably have been
dissolved and new elections for the
Prussian diet. 1t is claimed that
fascist Bavaria would have refused
to carry out the decision, along
with some of the other states.
Yet even the defeat will have
far-reaching effects. The catholic
center party saw hundreds of thou
sands Of catholics, especially in big
industrial sections, ignoring the or
ders of priests and bishops and vot-
ing for dispossession. The demo-
cratic party took no stand officially
but the sentiment of its followers
forced its press to favor confsca,
ton.
White collar workers and large
sections of the middle class, that
had lost their all in the war or dur
ing the imitation, supported the
referendum declaring, II have lost
all l had. Why should princes fare
better?"
The next step" so far as the
notwithstanding government is con-
cerned will be to return the property
to the deposed monarchists on condi-
lions that will win the support of the
majority Of the reichstag. Thus the
government turns to the socialist
leaders, who sabotaged the refer
endum, and offers compromises to
win their support. In fact, the So
cialist leaders have already an
nounced they will favor the granting
to the princes of Is per cent Of their
pre-war incomes.
The next step" on the side of the
workers and farmers has not yet
been announced. But there is no
doubt they will continue to develop
and cement the unity achieved in
this historic struggle.
