"The Were Wolf"


Just as influential if their member
ship is somewat less. Such are:
the "Jung Deutsche Orden" with a
membership Of 10000 and "The
Were Wolf" supported by the auto
mobile industrialists, with about 4O,-
900 members, both Of which organi-
cations also endcavor to set up their
nuclei in the factories. The former
is able to boast of certain successes
among the Thuringen leather work
ers. In some leather enterprises with
500 to 1000 workers, the Jung D. L..
has so to 100 members in its nuclei.
"The Were Wolf" has gained some
ground among the Helsenkirchen
miners.
The fascist made Jealous use of
the sport organizations got up by
the employers in the factories in the
hope Of reconciling the workers to
the fascists. These Sport Associa-
| tion have thousands of working-class
members who are regarded by the
| fascist as reserves for their own or
ganizations.
Scabbing Real Purpose.
1t goes without saying that during
strikes and other conflicts the leaders
of fascist organizations force the
members of their nuclei to scab.
This adaptation to the direct advan-
tage of the employers is the touch
stone of fascist work in the factor
les. A succession of conflicts taking
place during the last few months in
Germany have already considerably
shaken the fascist factory nuclei.
Brought face to face with the in
exorable fact of the class struggle
many fascist nuclei showed them
selves to be bankrupt. The last cleo
tions to factory committees have
shown that the workers, entering fas-
cist organizations to better them
selves materially, are beginning to
leave them as soon as this aim is
fulfilled. In many enterprises with
from one to two hundred workers or
ganized in fascist nuclei, the fascist
candidates got less than half of the
nuclei membership in votes. The
same rapid de facto withdrawal of the
workers from fascist organizations
was noticeable during the recent in
dustrial conflicts. The strike of tex
tile workers in the North-German
Cloth h-manufacturing Concern af-
fords. vivid testimony of this. The
employers became involved in this
| oznfl,aN IoCvsfa fLa hOnvN, -, 4Ia tax
tile industry, trusting in the assis-
tance of the fascist nuclei in the Con-
Germs enterprises. The workers
were, however, solid, and the leaders
Of factory fascism" in the enter
prises of the Concern were thrown
over by their own members.
1t must also be remembered that,
with the increase of the number of
fascists in the factories it has be-
come more and more difficult for the
employers to give them privileged
positions. All these points must be
, born in mind when the partial sue
cesses of the fascists in the factories
, are spoken Of.
, Fascism Degenerates.
German fascism has degenerated
. into an armed battalion of the big
bourgeoisie. 1t supplements t h c
machinery Of capitalism in the State
and the army. This, in the main, ex.
| plains the fact that the Reformists
few years ago breathing fire
against the fascists, no longer wage
{ against them even an oral campaign
This also explains the attitude taken
} up by the reformist unions and S. d
Party during the last "Steel Helmet
demonstration in Berlin. This demon.
| stration, during which the fascists
J were admitted even by the capitalist
press to have "run the gauntlet oi
, the hostile Berlin workers." proved {
, fiasco entirely owing to the brilliant
: anti-fascist campaign waged by the
3 Communist Party. The failure of the
9Th of May Fascist demonstration
shows that the broad masses ar,
), alive to the dangers with which fas
cism threatens them and ready Il
: struggle with them. Fascism, spring
5 ing up in a capitalist State in in
!. herently incapable Of being implanted
Q in the masses of the workers for long
: In the daily class struggle it i
: forced to show its true features, an,
0 stands unmasked as the traditional
e foe Of the working class. None tn,
d less does the struggle with fascisn
? become the most urgent task befor,
' the German working class, any blow
. struck at fascism being at the sam,
e time blow at the whole capitals
