Pat DGVinG Finds
Many Workers Feel
Need to Organize

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec. 9.-Pat
Devine, national organizer of the
Workers (Communistl Party of Amer
lea, interviewed here while making
stop on his swing through the Penn
sylvania industrial and mining region,
stated that he found everywhere the
same situation: workers badly in
need of organization on the industrial
and political field, but not yet suf-
ficiently aware of the methods for
going about it.
! Organize In Four Cities.
Devine has held mass meetings in
Atlantic City, Easton, Bethlehem and
Allentown, leaving trail of defense
organization, workers classes in Eng
lish and the fundamentals of Com
munism especially, the beginnings of
workers schools, and various groups
pledged to start the organization Of
local labor parties. He secured a con-
siderable number of subscriptions to
The DAILY WORKER and other
Communist papers, and brought some
new members into the Party.
Labor Party Sentiment.
Devine says that especially in Eas-
ton, where the Labor Party move
ment win proceed through fraternal
organizations at first, and in Bethle-
hem where the first steps are already
taken, Labor Party sentiment is on
the increase.
The youth movement is particular
ly good in Bethlehem, where many of
the older generation is being drawn
closer to Communism by the activi-
ties of the children in the family.
However, in some places the opening
Of school interferes with the financing
of the Pioneer work, as the children
need money for school.
Want Defense.
The Pioneer movement is spread
ing in Allentown.
Many workers have heard of the
International Labor Defense, and
strong sentiment exists in favor of
defense of workers under persecution
for activity for their class interests.
In Allentown and Bethlehem the
workers, especially in steel mills, are
ready to start shop newspapers, said
Devine.
The Negro workers, especially in
Allentown, said Devine, are begin
ming to realize their racial and class
interests. There are about 300 Ne
groes in Allentown working in the in
dustries.
Devine will now go on through the
hard coal territory of eastern Penn
sylvania, holding mass meetings
wherever possible.

Fake Mexico Documents
Raise Storm In Senate

Continued from Page One)
have been obtained from the secret
archives of the Mexican government.
The latest development in the cam
paign to aid the war-mongers against
Mexico and TO try to justify the raw
aging of Nicaragua by American
armed forces, deals with an order to
pay large sum of money to four
United States senators as gifts from
the Mexican government for services
rendered to that country.
Faxed As Usual With Hearst.
While it is recognized that many
of the stalwarts in the senate would
be quite capable of trying to enrich
themselves by Matchmaking the Mex
lean or any other government, the
Hearst documents, as usual, are
plainly spurious and concocted in the
same forgery mill that originated
the other crude inventions that were
proved by The DAILY WORKER to
have been faxed. The places where
the names of the senators involved
are supposed to appear have been
erased and only black smudges ap-
pear in place of names.
Four Senators Involved.
According to the Hearst docu-
merts four senators are alleged to
have been involved and to have re-
ceived certain sums from the Mex
lean financial agent in New York,
Plutarcho E. Elias. The sum OF 81
215.O0O was ordered paid the four
senator's by Elias, and the so-called
"secret document" stipulates the
names and amounts to be received by
each. One of the senators was or
dered paid S5O0,e00, two were to re-
ceive s35o.0O0 each and enc the COM
paratively misery sum of S15,0Oo.
Cheap Political Maneuver.
This latest series of exposures"
comes just as the 10th congress opens
it's sessions and when demands are
being made from certain senator's
for an investigation of the policy OF
the state department in Latin Amer
lea. 1t. is probable that the oil and
land thieves for whom Hearst speaks
have concocted these forgeries In or
der to intimidate senators so they
will not press the investigation de-
mand, or if they do to try to dis
credit them with the charge that they
are paid by Mexico, which has been
charged with financing every revo-
lutionary movement in the whole
world during the course of the serial
publication of the Hearst forgeries.

Why ALabor Party Today.

larry in smashing the rights of labor.
In the same way, the railway
unions, the Big Four, have endorsed
such enemies of labor as Foss and
Pomerene of Ohio.
Basic Factors for Labor Party.
There are four basic factors for
mass labor party in the United
States.
l. The development of a strongly
centralized government. This is one
of the outstanding facts today. Ac-
cording to the latest findings, there
are at least ten million people in the
government bureaucracy of the Fed
eral, State and other divisions.
The government is interfering more
and more in the relations between the
workers and their employers. The
primary task of all divisions of the
government today is to defend the
bosses against the workers, to break
strikes and smash the efforts of the
workers battling for better conditions.
2. The labor party corresponds with
present political development of the
American working class. In Amer
lea alone, of all the highly developed
industrial countries, do we have lab
or movement which has not yet di-
vorced itself en- masse from the poll
teal parties of capital.
8. The slogan "for a labor party"
is a unifying slogan which serves to
bind together the working masses who
are in struggle in various parts of the
country; the striking miners of Colo
RADIO with the miners of Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio, the workers
fighting in the needle trades in New
York with the exploited farmers of
the South and West; in short, from
Maine to California, all the workers
can get together for a labor party,
for a united, common challenge to
their common enemy.
4. The increasing recession in
American industry and the intensified
resistance to American imperialism,
is lessening the economic gap be-
tween the skilled and the unskilled
workers.
This development should again
serve to increase the homogeneity of
the working class, hasten its levelling
process.
With a more homogeneous working
class, there will be more solid basis
for national labor party on a mass
scale.

BUILD THE DAILY WORKER!

THE death of William Premier, for
mer president of the, brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, who at the
last convention had mas "otfice re-
moved" after the exposure of the
mismanagement, graft and corruption
resulting in the loss of over SzU,U0O,-
100 OF the funds Of the railroad
workers, brings to close the career
Of super-ciass coilaborationist,
similar to his predecessor Warren s..
Stone.
Stones death, according to the
records of the convention proceedings,
occurred at time when the Corrupt
leadership, led by Stone, and in
charge OF investments of over a hum
dred and fifty million dollars, in order
20 cover up the loss of about 6 mill
ion dollars, began the frenzied fl
nancial ventures in Florida which re-
suited in further loss OF some 49,
0UU,000. 1t was Stone wins ciaimed
it was "as easy to run bank as IL
was to run "a peanut stand" to
which delegate at the last conven-
ton answered.: land by Cod men,
chats how she was rum"
Premier, succeeding Stone, became
president when the tuil results Of the
corruption brought about the greatest
financial catastrophe in all labor his
| tory. The full record OF this is strik-
ingly presented by William Z. Foster
IN his new book Wreching The Labor
Banhs, distributed thru the Workers
Library Publishers. Premier, like
stone, was the loudest advocate OF
class collaboration policies that were
slowly poisoning the ranks of the
railroad workers.
"We have demonstrated American
iabor's complete answer to the
theories OF MARX and Lenln," wrote
| trenter. I'm America there is nc
such thing as working class as dis
rlnguished from a capitalist class
Men pass too readily from one group
into the other to be tagged with class
labels. 1t is the Broenerhoods aim
IN It's financial enterprises to show
its members and workers generally
how they can become capitalists as
well as workers"
This is the poison peddled by the
reactionary leadership led by Premier
while they were robbing the treasury
insurance funds and pension money,
living like millionaires and placing
every on of their sixty-seven
cousins on the padded payroll.
=
Pres. Premier, Foster tells US in
his book, purchased $250,000 estate
in Cleveland. He presented jobs to
relations and friends, paying as high
as $4,000 year. He was in every
way connected with the disaster that
wrecked the various banks and in
vestment companies of the Brother
hoods. The crash resulted in an as
sessment of $500 per month on each
member for the next two years, on a
membership already paying as high
as $50 per moth in dues and in
surance fees. The 1927 convention
held by the Engineers in Cleveland
at which the full story was presented
lasted for six weeks from June 6 to
July Fl, and cost the railroad
workers Another half million dollars.

WILBUR 0. K. ON
POLAR FLIGHT
Navy Will Not Oppose
Byrd's Plans.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July Sec
rotary of Navy Wilbur today with
drew his objections to the proposed
south polar flight of Commander
Richard E. Byrd this fall.
st hate to see Commander Byrd
risk his life on such fight" Will
bur said, "but if he wants to carry
it out, the Navy will not object.
The secretary said that with a
plane of cruising radius Of from
2,40O to 1000 miles, Byrd would be
able to make an extended trip over
south polar regions and could take
pictures and make observations that
would add greatly to scientific
knowledge.
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief of the Navy bureau of aero
nautics, said such a series of flights
as Byrd plans in the next seven or
eight years-to the south pole,
around South America and over
Mount Everest-could be made with
an airplane, but he considered
dirigibles more feasible.
