The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-03-12

as the first speaker pointed out that
this little meeting was at once re-
Election of a diseased condition which |
is sometimes bred by period OF sta |
bilization after partial defeat, that
the religiosity of Walton, and his at
tempts to liquidate the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Commun-
list International were similar to the
religiosity and liquidation tendencies
that followed the temporary reverses
of the 1905 revolution in Russia. He
pointed out that far more significant
than the failure of this meeting was
the blow to Lore in the small audi
ence gathered after Lores learned"
editorials on Waton's even more
sslearned" book. He pointed out fur
Their that this weak moyc served the
forces of reaction, because it is a fur
Their attempt to divide the workers
and it was a painful carricature OF
the idea Of labor party tending to
bring discredit upon genuine efforts
to build a labor party and because
Waton's New Communist Manifesto"
raised such satisfactory slogans for
lcanitalism as Communists should
not fight militarism and war Com
munists should not fight Imperialism,
etc."
Wolfe ended his attack with the
reading of a resolution endorsing the
, Workers (Communist) Party and the
Communist International and con
t demning the effort to divide the
. workers by the formation Of new
t party. The resolution was cheeret
+ by those present.
: Comrade Poyntz concentrated he
t attention on the defeat for Lore ant
0 Loreism implied in the unsuccessful
s. meeting, and gave an analysis of tn
{ un-Marxist and un-Leninist nature o
J Watons doctrines.
Olgin delivered an excellent &C
s dress on the program, the strategy
q and the tactics of the Workers icon
a munist) Party, and showed that wa
on's attack had been absolutely d
st void of political content. Walton ma
t, called for an American labor part
s. free from foreign dictation," and Y
N gin proved that the Workers (Cor
d, munist) Party was a party Oh u
le American workers, that Walton ne
TO not for a moment discussed America
r. conditions, and that the anti-Commu
tn ist remarks about foreign dictatioI
in were suitable to the interests OF !
ok ternational capitalism and were in o
position to the interests OF the wor
ne ing class.
ne Kvitko and Siskind took up the pl
ey losophy of Walton, and showed IN
VI he was not MARKHAM, but an eclict
ne anti.materialist, and a metaphysical
- whose mind was tumble OF &C
III flicting doctrines which contradict
each other.
Thus the meeting to form a NJ
labor party was converted into a p
paganda meeting in favor OF I
Workers (Communist) Party a
when the resolution proposed
Comrade Wolfe was put to a vo
aightv-six of the slightly over 0
hundred present voted to indorse
Workers (Communist) Party and
Communist international and G
denim the effort to form a new part
The Sc sympathizers with
Workers (Communist) Party arc
and withdrew from the meeting
remaining behind to form the n
american Labor Party" This m
party" elected fifteen, which is
less than one-half its number to
its general staff, or executive CT
mittee. with Harry Walton as It's
ganizer. They mournfully adjourn
and the meeting, as Walton had
dicted in opening It, had passed
to history, leaving Waton's doctrl
thoroly discredited in a more pu
manner than ever before, and exl
ing at once Lore's purposes and
decline in his influence over
workers in New York City.
