THE FLAG OF 1927

What flower Is this that Ereets the
morn.
Its hues from Heaven so freshly born?
With burning stars and flaming bands
Il kindIea all the sunset land.
OH! tell us what lts name may be;
Is this the flower OF liberty?
It IL the banner of the free
The bright and starry flag Of liberty.
Many. many years ago a little girl
Said those words as the flag she nn-
furIed,
Held firmly in two hands white as
snow
In the country school where patriotism
did glow.
That same flaming banner she waved
that night
Has several more stars all shining
Held firmly and proudly stronger than
ever,
DefyinE friend or foe this country to
sever.
No one can monOpOIlre the red, white
and blue;
No sect or creed can separate it from
you;
The rich, the poor. Gentle and jew,
All cheer In unison for the red. white
and blue. T. c. D.

MARRTED LIFE

Afightin' and n scrappin'
Like two hogs in a pen;
Just like two rival tigers
Let loose in den.
Calling each one every name;
Bringing forth all the strife.

Nothing right In either life.

He blames all on the wife.
An every day example
OF what shouldn't be in life.

A Neglected Strike and Official A. F. Of l. Scabbery.

The production of eighteen open shop mines Of the Pittsburgh

of last April.
It is pertinent to inquire what the offcadom of the

defend the present standard Of living of the mine workers
1t is also pertinent ask what has been the contribution of
the ofcadom of the A. F. of L. to the winning Of the miners

Communists, Socialists and Hero Worship
An Answer to the Letter Of Synpathizer

learn to treasure that tradition and
accumulate it and utilize it and spread
it to all our class.
American Traditions.
In the new world war that is APP
preaching the tradition of Debs and
Ruthenberg-the tradition of strug-
gle against imperialist war-will
prove a priceless American heritage,
Above all that Of Ruthenberg, who, a
far greater thinker than Debs, was
the first American to clearly formu-
late the struggle to change imperial
list war into class war into civil war.
1t is our task to make the whole
wOrkingclass remember and under
stand and build upon that tradition.
Let us conserve and spread the mem
DRY Of it lest they tell us Resistance
to Imperialist War--the conversion
Of imperialst war into civil warts
'un-American'."
And Ruthenberg represented much
more than that AS great in courage
as Debs, he was far greater in clar-
ity. The constitution of our party is
his work. It's most important theses
were written by him. He saw our
class as whole, its allies and it's
enemies and its relation to other
classes more clearly than any of the
rest of us.
Pointing out and avoiding their err
rors, we must keep alive the memory
of Debs and De Leon Yes, and we
must revive the memory of other
American workingclass heroes (such
as Sylyis) whom we have permitted
to become nameless. But above all we
must keep alive and carry to all our
class the memory Of Ruthenberg for
he is the outstanding figure the
American workingclass has so far
produced. The DAILY WORKER
talks too much about Ruthenberg?
My complaint is that it does not talk
about him enough.

BY BERTRAM D. WOLFE


In The DAILY WORKER Of April
26th was printed a letter from sym
pathizer, S. Richarts, in which he OBJ
jects to the amount of space given to
Ruthenberg's life and work in The
DAILY WORKER. He feels that it is
beneath the Communist dignity Of
"grown-up scientifically minded peo-
pie" He compares it to "the Social
list Party slop about Debs. Tho jailed
he speaketh'." He feels that "this
sort Of thing has not helped the So
cialist Party. and will not
help our cause"
Ruthenberg and De5s
In the first place I think Comrade
Richarts makes a big mistake in COM
pairing our treatment Of Ruthenberg
with the Socialist Partv's treatment
Of Debs. 1t was the fact that the
rest Of the paper cOutradicted Debs'
words that marked the degeneracy Of
the Party he did not have the cour-
age to break with. 1t was the con-
tradiction between the militant spirit
Of struggle he stood for and the
cringing spirit of class collaboration
in which the officialdom Of the S. P.
is acting. 1t was the contrast be-
tween his criminal" record and the
Party's responsibility" his desire
for unity of all labor forces and the
S. P's splitting tactics; his friendship
for the Russian revolution and the
Oneal-Cahan hatred of it; his partici-
patton in united fronts and the S.
P.'s sabotage of them-in short, it
was the contrast between words and
deeds that made the use of the heroic
figure of poor old Debs as a fig-leaf
to cover the S. P.'s naked betrayal
of the class struggle so disgusting.
But as to honoring Debs, reprint
ing his speeches, commemorating his
life, even we who see his weaknesses
hdo that. And l think we will do more
Of it as the memory fades Of his final
failure to break with a degenerating
and decaying party that was feeding
on his name and reputation, and as
the things he stood for-unity, soli-
darity, industrial unionism, struggle
against war, uncompromising class
struggle-stand out more and more.
Richarts Ignores History.
You say, Comrade Richarts. that
revolutionary parties, scientifically
minded people" don't do that. How
about the Russian Party with its Len

knecht and Luxembourg; the French

Launches
Drive to Increase
Subscription List

CHICAGO, June ia special
committee, headed by S. T. Ham
mersmark, Chicago representative of
The DAILY WORKER has issued a
call for a conference to be held at
the Workers Lyceum, 2733 Hirsch
Boulevard, on Friday, June 18th. A
midsummer subscription campaign
is to be launched and all Party units
and supporting and sympathetic or
CARNATIONS are to be busy obtaining
subscriptions between now and July
18th, when the drive will end.
At the meeting reports will be
made by Comrade Arne Swabecls, and
the delegates including representa-
tives of the foreign language press.
On July End, a special Chicago edi-
ton to be edited by Thurber Lewis
viii be issued for wide distribution.
This activity is by way of reply to
the attacks on The DAILY WORKER
by the courts and other reactionary
forces.

has its heroes, and greater than the
heroes Of the bourgeoisie. Greater, for
they can think as well as fight there
in Debs was inferior to Ruthenberg)
and greater because they serve not a
class alone, but in the long run, all
mankind.
Not Hero Worshippers.
True, we are not hero-worshippers
in the sense that we do not believe
that great men make history. But
our theory of history does not do away
with great men. On the contrary it
explains them as the leaders Of move
ments, as those who see clearest and
therefore point the way, as those who
march with surest and swiftest step
and therefore march in front, as
those who help to build the move
ment that in turn Guilds" them. We
know that without an army the
greatest general is nothing but we
know also that a good army needs a
good general and without officers an
army is no army.
But of what Importance is leader
such as Debs or Ruthenberg after he
is dead?
Tradition Plays a Part.
To answer that question, Comrade
Picharts, you must understand the
part that revolutionary tradition
plays in the building of revolution
airy movement. The tradition of the
Haymarket martyrs gave us May
Day. The tradition of the French re-
volution and of AS gave France the
Paris Commune. The tradition Of the
Paris Commune gave Russia 1905 and
the tradition of 1905 gave us 1917.
The bourgeoisie tries to make us
forget our worEingclass heroes and
our workingclass traditions Of strug-
gle. It tries to tell us that "May Day
is un-American' tho it originated in
America. That revolution is I'M
American" tho America was born of
revolution. It tries to make US for
get the left wing of the American re-
ivolution, the Daniel Shays and Thomas
Paines and those who are too prom
inent to be forgotten, the Patrick
Henrys and Thomas Jeffersons-it
conceals their revolutionary charac-
ter. Because the master class controls
the schools, the press, the church
our memory is painfully short We
must struggle to preserve the precious
heritage of workingclass heroes and
workingclass struggles. Without such
continuous and growing revolu-
tionary tradition each generation
must begin again from the Beginning.
Our class will grow in ripeness as we
