Longshoremen's Bill
for Compensation In
Accidents Advanced

WASHINGTON. June 81 Carrying
schedule of compensation rates iden-
teal with that now established in the
federal employees compensation act,
the longshoremen's industrial accident
compensation bill has been ordered
favorably reported by the senate jul
dietary committee. This measure,
backed by the International Long
shoremen's Association, the American
Federation of Labor and the American
Association for Labor Legislation,
seeks to bring men employed on ships
tied at dock in American harbors
under the provisions of workmen's
compensation.
If the bill becomes law it will affect
longshoremen, ship repairers and
other men engaged in tasks on ships
at dock and alongside such ships. 1t
prohibits deductions from employees
wages for benefit funds; it bars waiv-
ers of liability, assignments of benefits
to creditors or attachment of any pay
ments made under the act.
1t prescribes that insurance against
liability shall be taken out by en-
ployers, in lieu of proof furnished to
he U. S. employees compensation com
mission that such employers are re-
iponsible for any possible payments.
Stevedoring firms would have to fur
iish to the shipowner a certificate of
ompliance with the insurance clause.
, rhe bill does not apply to men pro-
tected by the compensation laws Of
states or by the seamen's act. The
house judiciary committee has re
ported similar bill.

What The Daily Worker IS
What 1t Must Become

I that the so-called labor takers are
damaged very little by such abuse but
that it actually aids them in that it
gives them a chance to shift the is
sue, l. e., to talk about our abuse Of
them rather than the concrete de-
mands we put forward.
The history of every struggle of the
left wing has shown that personal
abuse in The DAILY WORKER has
been used very effectively to rally
wavering elements to the support of
the machine.
A FTER all the trade unions hNe
A their traditions, even tho we may
pay little attention to them,. and one
OF those traditions is that one must be
proved guilty by something more than
phrases.
If we ask ourselves what the reason
Is for our high-power phrasing and
give little thot to the question we
discover that by such methods we are
catering to our Communist vanity. We
get a certain amount of satisfaction
from publicly branding our enemies,
who are also the enemies OF the work
ing class.
It is very noticeable and enlighten-
ing, however that as the strength Of
the left wing in the labor unions has
decreased, the heat of our utterances
concerning the Ubiquitous practices Of
the labor oficialdom has increased
until our general approach and criti-
cism can be described as a sort Of
venemous futility.
To anyone outside our party the i'm
preston is given that we are shout.
Ing loudly to conceal our disappoint-
ment.
There are other methods by which
we cater to our Communist vanity and
In dealing with them, / repeat, the
whole party must take the blame.

JOINS PROTEST
over FRAME-UP
Demands Release of
Sacco and Vanzetti

CALGARY, Alta, (By Mail.)- The
Calgary branch of the Industrial
Workers Of the World called meet
ing to protest the action of the Massa-
chusetts court in the Sacco-Vanzetti
case.
This meeting was attended by a
large crowd which represented the
workers of every shade of opinion in
Calgary. Fellow worker, Sam Scar
lett addressed the meeting and pointed
out that only thru working class solid
arity could we expect to free our fel-
low workers, then read the following
resolution:
ITO the Governor of the State of
Massachusetts:
1--WE, the workers and citizens OF
Calgary, Alberta, in mass meeting as
sembled, do hereby resolve:
Whereas, our fellow workers Sacco
and Vanzetti, have been imprisoned
and their lives placed in continual
jeopardy, for the past six years,
And whereas, there is a, confession
in the hands of the defense by one
Celectine Mederies. that he and not
Sacco and Vanzetti committed the
crime for which these men were con
victed and that said conviction was
secured when war hysteria and the
so-called red menace was rampant.
Therefore, we the workers of Cal
gary, demand and join in protest with
all international labor, that this hor-
rible miscarriage of justice shall not
be permitted and that these innocent
victims of political and class hatred
shall be Internationally released"
The resolution was carried unani-
mously. We are sending the above to
the governor of Massachusetts and to
all working class papers in Canada
and the United. States.

Article 8
BY WILLIAM F. dunno.

THE Communist is pictured invar-
4 iably by the capitalist press as an
individual who always is frothing at
the mouth. Even the term radical
in the United States is construed by
the popular mind to mean a person
who is slightly unbalanced, tremen-
dously wrought up continually and
therefore more or less unreliable.
This is not a good situation for us
as Communists but it is a fact and
certainly it is unwise for us to give
aid and comfort to this mistaken i'm
preston.
DUT IL one looks over file Of The
IL DAILY WORKER covering any
length of time, he will be struck by
the constant repetition of such words
as tabor faker." fink" traitor"
terrorism" "tools of the bosses"
white guard" "counter-revolutionist,"
fascist "black treachery," ''degen-
crates" "scoundrels," crooks DE
trayal"
The labor officials and their actions
described by such phrases are prob
ably everything we say about them
and more. AS a matter of fact, even
we Communists do not appreciate
fully the depth of the black pit into
which the labor leadership has pulled
the labor movement.
THIS, however, is beside the ques-
L tion. II is not what we think and
know but what we are able to con-
vince the masses OF on the basis Of
their actual. experiences. We prove
nothing by hurting such terms into
the ranks OF the masses at present
but we do weaken our own case.
II is my opinion, formed after some
experience in the labor movement, and
careful consideration OF the matter,

Workers (communlst) Party
OF America

THE plenary session of the central
4 committee Of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, held on May 26, 81,
and %, marked the beginning of the
development Of new stage in the
life Of the party. The party has over
come the crisis which developed thru
the inner party struggle. This inner
party struggle developed with in
creasing sharpness during period of
two years, The party has now turned
its face away from this struggle and
towards constructive work among the
masses for building the party in
fiuence and organized strength.
There were in attendance at the
sessions of the central committee, not
only the members of the central COM
mittee candidates and alternates, but
the district organizers, representatives
of the language fractions, members of
the national executive committee of
the Young Workers League and COM
rades active in leading the trade union
work of the party thruout the country.
sible comrades present, the plenum

The plenary session Of the central

hear he report Of the delegates to the

Communist International to act upon
the resolution of the factional contro-
versy in the party and to work out
a resolution on the trade union work
Of the party Other questions which

Of tie party in the light of this deci-

In contrast to the experiences of the
party in past discussions on such a
question, there was no factional ap-

WORKER). which has been unani-
mously adopted by the political com
mittee, received a similar unanimous
vote from the central committee.
The approach made by the political
committee in discussing this resolu-

harmonious work of all the members

BOSSES HATE
PASSAIC STRIKE
R RELIEF WO R K
Strikers Determined to
Win Fight
tspeelaI to The paIIv work.r,

N~F~SANt ~ tHS SaiAY NpEkpFN
PASSAIC, N. J., June 4.-The splen-
did way in which labor has supported
the textile workers of Passaic has
enabled the creation of a relief ma
chinery that has spread CONSERVATION
among the bosses and given hope and
inspiration to the strikers.
Workers Aid Strikers.
The response from labor has been
wide and generous. Help has been
forthcoming from labor unions and
workers fraternal organizations of all
sorts; from workers political parties
and a number of churches. All this
money sent in has been Rput to very
good use-has been spent judiciously
and economically to achieve the great
est possible amount of relief.
The relief committee issues food
cards on the basis of the size of the
family, the highest denomination be-
ing $40. Each application for relief
is investigated. Only those families
having absolutely no resources re.
ceive strike aid.
Four Food Stations.
There are four food stations issuing
food to the strikers.
The committee has five picket line
lunch counters, where coffee and sand
witches are served to strikers on picket
duty.
There are two children's kitchen
that feed 1000 children day and
one garment store where considerable
worn apparel is dispensed.
BARRIERS Donate Time.
In addition to this, the spirit Of la
Dor solidarity which has featured this
strike has brought groups Of BARRIERS
from New York City to give free hair
cuts to the textile strikers. Groups
of New York shoe workers have re-
paired shoes of the workers, thus
keeping them fit for the work of pick
citing Free fuel and medical atten-
tion has also been dispensed Several
landlords, in sympathy with the lust
demands OF the strikers, have offered
the use of apartments for those suffer
ing eviction.
Strict Economy.
Making for economy in the conduct
of the relief machinery is the fact that
125 strikers themselves carry on the
relief work, giving their services with
out remuneration and managing the
food and clothes stores, doing the diff
cult work of buying (and doing it eff
fectively), making investigations of
the applications for relief, etc.
