BY ROBERT MAcKLIN,
Worker Correspondent.l

NEW YORK, Jan. IA. - Comrade
Bertram Wolfe, director of the New
York Workers School, led a very in
jtructive discussion on the question
Whittier American" before an in
tensely interested working class audi
ence in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
In developing the subject, Comrade
Wolfe gave a dialectic analysis of
American capitalism and the Ameri-
can working class. He pointed out
the American pecularities which have
had a profound influence upon the
labor movement. These were briefly
the following:
America was born a capitalist
country, an offshoot of European CAPT
talism. 1t had had no feudalism, and
so the American working class was
not born in period Of revolutionary
struggle as the European proletariat
was, so that it naturally was devoid
of the tradition of struggle. Then
there did not develop a continuous
working class.
Ihere was new working class
each generation due to the different
waves of immigration (Irish, German,
Jewish, Italian,) each one going thru
a period Of intense class struggle yet
failing to hand down the memories of
these struggles as a tradition because
of the fact that due to specific Amer
lean conditions such as the gold rush
es, the free land movement, the nu-
merous opportunities to open up bust
nesses, ETC., large portions of each
class Of immigrants forgot the class
struggle as they crept out of the work
ing class, while the new wave of i'm
migrants had to start all over again
the class struggle in America. All
this prevented the continuous devel-
opment of the American workers
along lines of class struggle, prevent
ed the development of class conscious
ness.
But since 1900 the United States
began to change rapidly. AS a great
nation it had been the
granary of the world. 1t now was be
coming the workshop of the world,
replacing England and the ambitions
of its capitalist masters was that #
shall become the clearing house of the
world, an ambition fully realized after
the world war. 1900 saw the begin.

After riding on the train all night
we arrived at Cudahy, which Is named
after the Cudahy packing plant locat-
ed there. Cudahy and the Federal
Rubber company run the town to suit
themselves.
Here we were met by one OF the Gu
daily bosses who told us not TO stray
away or else we would lose our FIVE
dollars and miss breakfast. After
walking for a long time we were brot

OF its name. / wonder what made
Brother Hillman support so many de-
mands Of the left wing at various con-
ventions in the days when he still
protested TO be fighting exploitation
and reaction? Did Brother Hillman
at that time think that those demands
were destructive and would lead to
dual unionism?
The left wing Of the Amalgamated
has not changed its policies; it still
stands against wage-cuts, whether d.
rect or in the form Of re-adiustments,
against class-collaboration, against
terrorism by officials. It stands for
amalgamation of all the needle trades,
for shop committees, for real insur-
ance for the unemployed, for organ
ization of the unorganized.
Deceit Won't Work Forever.
Brother Hillman, you and your
Salutskys know that the policies Of
the left wingers mean raising the liY-
ing standards, raising the class-con-
seriousness, of our members; you
know that the left wingers will build
up American trade unionism in spite
of your provocation and persecution.
The left wing is determined to carry
on the class struggle for the workers.
1t will not be long before the pro-
gressives win their support, because
the workers cannot help but see that
they are the only ones standing for
the working class.
The workers will see that the Hill
mans and Johnstons have outlived
their usefulness as representatives of
organized labor like Sigman in the /.
L. G. They will see that the left
wingers are always ready to carry on
the struggle against the exploiters,
while their reactionaries are trying to
find comfort thru DISQUALIFICATION

price of their bread.

This "hotel' was used at one. time
as a barracks for soldiers and was
later turned over TO the Cudahy meat

had TO climb over the ends. The beds
were seldom cleaned and were alive

fare from the pay envelopes, they
were able to pocket thousands Of dol
lars every year that way.
Conditions were so rotten here that
there were many workers coming and
going and this arrangement was quite
satisfactory to the company. When
they hire the worker they tell him
that after ninety days he will get his

NEW YORK, Jan. IA. That The

preciated by the toiling masses Of
this city was splendidly demonstrated
at the second anniversary jubilee
when the Yorkville Casino was filed
to capacity by enthusiastic partic-
ipants who showed how happy they
were on this memorable occasion.
Comrade Krymbein as chairman
handled the affair in a mastery man
ner and the success of the program
was assured as soon as the Hungarian
Workers Symphony Orchestra had
rendered their two numbers, 1.-THE In
ternational' and Hymn of Free Rus
STA"
The violin selections by Elfrieda
Boss carried the audience to their
feet and made the event an occasion
to be remembered for years to come.
She had the spirit of the new life that
only one whose heart is in the revolu-
ton can have. Il was easily under
stood that her term in Leningrad had
resulted in the acquisition of an art
that the old system Of capitalism in
the outside world cannot inspire.
Tilda Schocket was supreme in her
dances, and the representation of
"The Toiler" reached point in the
art of dancing that is seldom if ever
seen on the stage.
The subscription talk by ]. o.
Bentall resulted in liberal hustle for
enrolment on the list of The DAILY
WORKER. "The ears papers of Rus.
STA are no more, but the Pravda and
Isvestia are circulated among the
100 100000 workers of Russia today"
said Bentall, land we shall see the
day in America when the New York
Times and World and the Chicago
Tribune shall be no more but The
DAILY WORKER and other papers of
the workers of this country shall take
their place" Fl
Comrade Gitlow Showed in his clear
way how great the power of the cap
italist press is over the people and
what a necessary task we have in
building up our daily press. A hearty
response to Gitlow's appeal for funds
was made. v4
The Freiheit Sfhging Society fin
ished the program in most fitting
manner and the masses went home

OMAHA, Nebr., Jan. 14.-Distribu-

packing houses in South Omaha went

rades on the job, two of them young

ing the story in The DAILY WORKER.
The next morning the workers were
on the lookout for the distributors,
and soon they were waiting for the
papers to be handed out to them. On
this day we had two boys helping in
the distribution and they were enthus-
iastic about the job. A number of
workers offered to pay the boys for
the paper, showing that they appre-
ciated the efforts that were being
made. BARRIERS and pool hall owners
came to get The DAILY WORKER
and the whole south side seemed to
be interested in what was going on.
We noticed a number of workers
with the earlier issue in their pockets,
much the worse from wear in being
passed from hand to hand, or Of
being read over and over again. OF
course, we had call from the office
force at Armour's. A young fellow
was sent out to see what we had the
first day, the next day they wanted
a copy for the foreman, superintend-
ent and general manager. Thru the
window we could see the office force
grouped around the paper all busy
reading it.
The great majority of the workers
were intensely interested in the
stories and campaign of The DAILY
WORKER. Only very few of the
native-born workers, probably home
owners, refused the paper. and one
even threw it away. Some of those
workers appeared curious about the
paper but were apparently intimidat
ed by the fear Of being seen by the
boss. There were many who greeted
the distributors after the first day
with, Thank you," or Good boy,
that's real paper" Some said when
you start the organization, we will
be ready"

tendent to punch the time clock and
go on the killing floor.
The new superintendent called a
meeting Of the workers and had them
all sit down on the green grass out
side their hotel" and he then started
to tell them how wonderful a country
this was and how the Cudahy plant
was growing bigger and bigger. He
didn't tell them II was wrung out OF
the sweat and blood OF the workers,
and that he was not in favor OF hav-
ing the ten-hour day, but there were
times when there were too many hogs
to be slaughtered in eight hours and
II would be necessary to work longer.
He then asked them to vote on the
proposition.

ming of giant trusts, and as a reflex
the trust busting movements led by
popular muckrakers such as Roose-
welt, LaFollette, Hearst, Ida Tarbell,
Charles Edward Russell, etc.
1T was during this period that the
socialist party grew rapidly and in
cluded in its ranks a variety of ele-
ments expressing not SO much a move
nent forward toward socialism but
rather the historically backward trust
busting movement In spite of this
the trusts grew steadily powerful, es-
pecially so under the cloak of patriot
ism during the period of the world
war with it's preparedness campaigns,
its red cross, and salvation army
drives, liberty loan campaigns, all
sponsored by the trusts; the dollar
year men and their committees COM
posed almost entirely of prominent
corporation officials, etc, etc. Muck
raking stopped especially thru the aid
Of postmaster censorship OF the muck
raking press, and the trusts emerged
not only controlling the government
but the whole economic life of Ameri-
ca.
"All industry and commerce were
trustified and interlocked under the
control of the two most powerful
banking institutions, ]. P. Morgan &
Co., and The National City Bank (the
Rockefeller interests). The bour-
geoisie themselves changed in char
acter. No longer did they participate
in the processes of production, but
rather they became a class of "cou-
pom clippers" and perhaps even had
hirelings clip their coupons for them.
The capitalist class had evolved into
perfect parasites. The change in
American capitalism did not confine
itself within the boundaries of the U.
S. but expressed itself on an inter
national scale. 1t had now become
the clearing house of the world.
Whereas only few years ago It owed
to foreign countries more than zoo mil
lions, it had now, thanks to the world
war, become the worlds creditor to
the tune of more than twenty billions.
1t had most of the nations Of the world
by the throat. financially and in many
cases politically. The Dawes plan
was obvious proof OF this. America
had become the most powerful impe-
rialist nation and naturally also a
great militarist nation"

TESTEPEQUE. Salvador-(B BY Mail)
The anti-labor drive strated by the
American imperialists thru their
agents, the puppet presidents of the
Central American Republics, following
the affairs in Panama in October last,
continues here with ruthless fury.
The United Fruit company. the
American prototype of the English
East Indian company, is determined to
crush all who stand in its way to eco
nomic and political domination.
Lest the call Of the workers who
fell in the plaza" of Panama City,
last October, would be heard by the
enslaved workers of Guatemala, Die
tator Orellana, faithful servant OF the
American capitalists, by stroke Of
his pen, declared all the militant labor
organizations in the country Illegal.
The unions were quickly crushed,
the documents confiscated and leaders
and members alike prosecuted with a
severity that would make the de-
parted czars Of old Russia turn in
their graves.
Comrade A. F. Marie, leader of the
Communist movement was imprison-
ed, then deported to Salvador and M.
c. Morales, active member Of the
anti-imperialist movement, was seized
by the police on the evening of Dec.
10, imprisoned, and at 10 o'clock the
same night put in an automobile un-
der heavy guard and taken to the
frontier of San Salvador.
The only charge against him was
that he had taken part in a protest
meeting conducted by the students Of
Guatemala University. t1'
