Wages Low in czecho-
SloVakia.

NoMRADE KoHN (Czecho-Slovak
" ia): "The attack OF the bour-
geoisie upon the standard of living Of
the working class has now lasted for
several years. This attack expressed
itself in great economic struggles.
1.-THE policy Of defation was a con-
plete victory for bank capital which
is In a position to force industrial
capital into the struggle whether the
latter wants to or not, as for instance
in the textile workers strike. The
real wages in Czecho-Siovalia are ac-
cording 10 the official statistics OF the
league of nations just half those Of
the English workers and less than in
Lode and in Berlin.
1.-THE wage cutting, the weight OF
taxes and the rise Of prices makes 1t
possible for Czech industry. to enter
into competition and bring about a
certain sterilization OF Czecho-Slovak-
ian capitalism. BY utilizing the unem-
ployment, capitalism forces the work
ers 70 permit themselves to be used
for attempts to introduce American
ization which damages the worker.
The bourgeoisie leaves the main
weight Of supporting the unemployed
upon the trade unions and gives only
yesy lttle support from the state.

the work of the league This IS uecea.
sary If the league is to be real func-
tioning organization. All the COM
rades realize the fact that If our own
units are not functioning we cannot
bring in new members, nor can we
carry out the decisions of the higher
committees.
The next problem which faces the
district committee Is that its sub
committees must function In the
past we have elected subcommittee.
for different departments These COM
mittees did not function In spite of
the fact that we have tried to limit
the comrades to one or two sub-com-
mtttees. The subcommittee must
meet regularly at least twice a month.
They must send plans and letter of
suggestions and bulletins for them at
least once month. Another problem
which faces the district is how eacn
unit will have plentyNef work and dis
cussion during its meetings and how
the members will have work to do be-
tween the meetings of the unit. This
the district committee and the units
will have to solve together. The best
| way is to get busy on factory cam
paigns. The units must. discuss and
find factory on which they can con-
centrate. Connections must be gath
cred and real efforts must be made
to carry on an effective campaign in
this particular factory.
Each and every member must read
The Young Worker and must push the
circulation Of The Young Worker
among the working-class youth, espe-
cially in the factories. The district
committee must make plans for ac-
tivity in the district as a whole, that
is district campaigns, which win CO.

district. There must be at least one
district campaign going on all the
time. CWatch tomorrow's column for

Some Mistakes in France.

WE have also made mistakes. A
w few comrades permitted them
selves to become engrossed with high
politics and this led sometimes to a
neglect Of the concrete daily Ques-
tions and to an isolation from the
working masses. But mistakes in the
other extreme were also made. Local
interests were overestimated, there
was too little connection between the
concrete tasks and the general po-
litical tasks" *
The speaker quoted the example of
the good application OF the united
front tactic in connection with the
railwaymen. In Januarylwe appealed
to all organizations for joint action.
The reformists naturally But
the pressure Of the masses forced the
catholic trade unions to act with us
in concert. And thisbin turn forced
the reformists to withdraw their or
iginal rejection. We were the adj
vance guard Of the movement, we
forced mixed committees, organized
joint meetings, etc. This showed that
La correct application of the united
front is possible and useful.
The general strike on Oct. 10, was
a great success for us. It showed
the French workers that we really
are in favor Of peace, that we would
never commit the treachery that the
social patriots committed in 1914.
Further, the strike was important for
the development of the working class
movement in Morocco and Syria. The
strike showed the colonial workers
that their only defenders are the
Comintern and the Req international
Of Labor Unions.
The condition of the relationship
between the Communist Party and
the trade unions in France is different
from the other countries. In France
strong syndicalist tendency exists
in the working class movement. The
left wing formed itself in the trade
unions earlier than in the socialist
parties. Apart from this there exist
two declarations. In working out the
principles governing the relations be-
tween the Communist parties and the
trade unions, this must be taken into
consideration. (Applaase.).

Good Prospects in Belgium.

THE trade union discussion then
4 opened with speech of Comrade
Jacauemotte (Belgium): AT the
present time in Belgium there exists
the possibility for the creation of a
Communist mass movement. The
partial sterilization Of capitalism af-
fects the situation Of the working
class adversely.
Seventy per cent Of the state bud
get is applied for the payment Of in
terest upon the war debt and for new
ornaments. For this reason the Bel
gian capitalists are not in a situation
10 satisfy the demands of the work
ers.
Even the Vandevelde government
declared that the introduction of so
cial reforms was impossible. The dis
satisfaction of the workers is favor
able for the growth Of Communist in
fuence. A left wing opposition is
making itself apparent in the trade
union movement The reformists are
beginning to sense the danger and
they are intensifying their resistance.
They are attempting to reduce the
Communist influence by the policy Of
explosions. The party has to remain
very cool in order to avoid split.
TT would be comparatively easy to
exploit the dissatisfaction and the syn
dicalist tendencies of the workers to
form an independent trade union fed
GRAFTON. 1t is much harder to fight
inside the trade unions and to organ
ize strong oppositional movement
there. We must nevertheless take
the more difficult way and attempt to
win the trade unions from within.
''The accusation of Losovsky that
we do not fight enuf against the expul-
sions is incorrect. The case of Loo
tens which Losovsky quoted was very
difficult. The reformists threatened
that unless the workers permitted
the expulsion of Lootens, they would
expel the whole branch consisting of
900 men. 1t is better to sacrifice a
few comrades than to lose our basis
in the trade union movement.
THE situation in Belgium is to a
certain extent similar to the situation
in England. From 100000 workers,
100000 are organized. OF these
100000 are organized in the social
democratic unions and the remaining
100000 in the Christian unions
Given cool and elastic tactics we shall
be able to win great successes in
these trade unions before long.

the united front. When the reform
lists observe the sympathies of the
workers for unity, they provoke joint
action in order to lead those actions
consciously to defeat and thus to
compromise US.
For instance in the Maehrisch- Os-
trau miners strike where despite
certain successes in the beginning
when 5000 Communists led $4,000
workers, we made great mistakes. We
overestimated our own strength and
had to pay dearly for the lack of
fractions. This struggle taught US to
be more careful, naturally not to avoid
necessary struggles, but to consider
the prospects. % 8ioe
"In the last textile workers. strike
in which the reformists attempted to
repeat their provocation, we acted so
carefully that we achieved good sue
cesses and broke thru the resistance
Of capitalism. The feelings Of solid
arity and the demand for unity in the
economic struggles.
'Losovsky is correct when he says
that we commenced the struggle for
the united front very late. We, how
ever, needed time for the necessary
preparatory work. We had, first of
all, to overcome the separatism tend
encies in our own ranks, we had to
convince our own members that the
united front was not a maneuver.
We had to convince the comrades
of the importance of fractional work
not only in the reformist, but also in
the revolutionary trade unions.
"Our good work has had the result
that the reformists are now ready to
negotiate. It is true, under impossi-
BILE conditions. We insist upon a
unity congress and demand the new
formation Of the trade union organ
izations upon the basis of the class
struggle. The struggle for the estab-
lishment of unity with the reformist
unions is made more difficult by the
fact that the revolutionary unions
themselves are not united. The lack
Of fractions is partly responsible for
this.
I'VE received an object lesson upon
the importance of fractional work
when the Red international Labor
Union demanded that the independ-
ent revolutionary unions should enter
into the revolutionary national organ
ization which several leaders of the
revolutionary building and wood work
ers' unions, for instance, Tetenka, re-
iected. They showed themselves TO
be reformists. And after expelling a
few comrades who are loyal to the
party, they commenced a sharp cam
paign against the party. From this
we learned to organize fractions en-
ergetically and we were successful in
winning influence. We agitated for
the calling of an extraordinary con-
gress Of the union at which we hoped
with the assistance of our fractions,
TO carry thru our policy.

Workers Communist Party
English as an Instrument Of BOISheVizatiOn

mon language becomes more and
more compelling.
Why English.
How often in nuclei, do we hear
comrades say: II can't accept as in
dustrial organizer, Cor other position)
because l can't SPEAK English?" Some
times, this is said in fairly good Eng
fish, but sometimes it is true that the
comrades cannot speak we'll The Ian
guage handicap is, however, no bar
to accepting an office in the nucleus
or other party unit. It is a handicap,
which must be overcome.
At nuclei meetings, where the lam
guage spoken is. Of course, English,
the contribution OF a comrade toward
the work of the party. and what he
gets from the meeting depend to a
great extent on his knowledge Of
English. In the trade union, the effec-
tiveness of our work depends to a
great extent on the ability Of com
rades to make motions, to defend
their position, to argue with those
who know no other language but
English. In some industries, it is pos
sible to speak a foreign language in
the shops, before and after the meet
ings; but the union meetings are in
English. And with our present deter
mination to turn more to the basic in
dustries, where more OF the workers
are foreign-born, the problem of get
ting the workers to speak English be-
comes more essential. The case Of a
United Mine Worker local is not an
isolated one, where the membership
was foreign-born, and had to entrust
the secretaryship to a conservative
because he was the only one who
could handle communications and an
swer them.
1t is often difficult to secure a nue.
leus secretary because of lack Of
ability to write English. The same
difficulty shows itself in our work in

trade unions. Only in this way will
we be able to achieve unity!"
Two declarations in France.

~ o NJ R A D E. MONMOUSSEAU
~ (France): "The most important
fact in the present French trade
union movement is the existence of
two trade union declarations which,
according to the official statistics,
have approximately the same mem
bership. In reality, however, our in
fiuence is greater. Recently the re-
formists have had few successes, as
for instance in the affiliation of the
teachers union. On the other hand a
definite left wing formed itself in the
same period inside the reformist trade
unions. The connections of the re-
formist leaders with the bourgeoisie
strengthened, particularly after the
access of the left bloc to power The
chairman of the reformist federation.
Jouhaux, is at the same time the rep
resentative of France in the league
Of nations in which he carries on a
reactionary and nationalist policy.
"This connection with the bour-
geoisie was strengthened still more
after the formation of the so-called ma
tional economic council, in which re-
formist leaders sit side by side with
the representatives of the bourgeoisie,
the banks, etc. The workers are nat
urally discontinued with such an open
policy Of cooperation between capital
and labor and this discomfort has led
to the formation of left fractions In
the various unions. In the question of
the unity congress for both fedora
tions, we suffered a certain defeat.
The reformists carried on a campaign
against us, even with the assistance
Of the authorities. A partial success
for us was the fact that the reformist
congress decided to listen to our dele
cation despite the resistance put up
by Jouhaux and that in the voting
which followed strong minority of
approximately 800 organizations, vot-
ed for the acceptance Of our pro-
posals.
When the reformists raised the
question of trade union discipline
and threatened the unions who wished
to establish unity with us, with ex-
pulsion, a few of the left leaders
abandoned the unity proposals. And
this treachery had such demoraliz-
ing effect that only "a representatives
OF the reformist unions appeared at
the unity conference. Nevertheless
we were successful in discussing vari-
GUS practical questions, altho our or
iginal aim was not achieved. Our
activity strengthened the left wing in
the reformist unions. Altho in our
agitation we had never expected com
plete success for the unity congress,
nevertheless the hopes amongst the
party membership based upon our
first partial successes, were so great
that later on certain disappointment
showed itself, particularly Of estab-
fishing unity. other comrades be-
lieved that we should only work in
side the revolutionary unions. We
had to fight against both tendencies.

Amsterdam and the Orient.

'Losovsky remarked correctly that
the Amsterdamers are showing great
activity in connection with the
colonial working class movement.
They are recognizing the danger of
our work In the colonies for reform
ism. VanderYelde for instance wrote
that the whole civilized world must
oppose the Bolsheviks in their at
tempts to utilize the colonial move
ment, this movement had nothing to
do with them.
''The reformists are attempting
either to prevent any organization Of
the colonial movement or to get the
leadership Of it into their hands,"

unions, and other organizations.
All class conscious workers must
possess the will to participate in or
CARNATIONS with workers of all Ian
guages, and to prepare themselves
for such work. The study of English
must be taken up by those comrades
eagerly. Neither age nor language
activities can serve as an excuse for
not learning or improving ones Eng
lish. All language fractions must con
slider as vital part of their work, the
improvement of their members in Eng
lish. Sympathetic workers Of language
organizations must be induced to Join
classes in English.
Where Shall We Study?
Shall the classes in English be con-
Quoted by class conscious workers, or
shall we use the. classes in the public
night schools? The public school
courses are a part of the Americaniza-
ton scheme of the financiers, and
many workers are opposed to them
on that score. However, IL they would
serve our purpose, we would urge
workers to attend. But the classes do
not serve our purpose. The subject
matter being taken is patriotic, and
the classes take so much time Usual
ly four times week. that It leaves
practically no time for working class
activity.
Our classes in English on the other
hand, have working class content,
the subject matter being taken from
The DAILY WORKER and other party
literature, dealing with workers,
strikes, wages, Communism. The com,
rades learn to read, write and express
themselves on the Problems in the
party. the union, and other working
class organizations.
Our policy must be to draw workers
into workers classes in English as
given by the workers School in Chi
cago, New York, and other party cen
tiers.

German-czech Unification.

TIME reformists are talking very
Amuch just now about the unifca.
ton OF the German and the Czech
trade union central committee, that is
to say the unincation OF the leader
ships with the retention Of the paral-
lei unions and thus to keep the work
ers from real unity. They will,
however, be unsuccessful in this, for
the urge OF the workers towards a
real unity is becoming ever greater.
The party is carrying on sharp
struggle against tendencies towards
iiquidating the revolutionary trade
unions and is carrying on an ener
