LESSONS OF The PASSAIC CAMPAIGN

foreign-born and never had the OPP
portunity of taking out citizenship
papers. Several thousand others,
born in America, are not yet of vo-
ting age.
Moved Away.
Many Of the former strikers live
in the towns neighboring Passaic.
Clifton, Garfield, Lodi and Walling-
ton is the home Of thousands of the
former strikers. Then again many Of
those who lived in Passaic during the
strike have left the state of New
Jersey, due to the difficulty of OBJ
tanning a job.
The former strikers however, were
the basis of the entire campaign and
if a vote of the population was
taken, ignoring the regular legal re-
quirements there is no doubt the over
whelming majority of the working
population would cast their ballot for
the Communist candidates. Of
course, not in every case because they
are Communists ar many of the
workers do not even as yet under
stand the principles of the Communist
movement. But they do understand
the fundamental principles that Weis-
bord and his Communist associates
fought for-the interests of the
working class.
The First Step.
The 14-month textile strike was
the first step in the building of a
powerful labor movement in Passaic.
The recent election was the second
step.
The reactionary forces are begin
ming to become worried at the grow
ing strength of the left wing and
Communist movement as witness the
recent statement of James Starr,
vice-president of the United Textile
Workers that a housekeeping of the
local union would soon be held.
Future Is Bright.
The future for the militant section
of the Passaic labor movement is
bright. Building the Workers Com
munist) Party branch and securing
new readers for The DAILY WORK
Err are among the next tasks. The
formation of a local labor party in
the next election campaign is of
major Importance.
When considering all factors the
Passaic campaign and election has
been a great forward step for the
local and national labor movement.
For the first time since the forma-
ton of the Communist Party their
candidates received a relatively large
proportion of the votes cast The en-
tire capitalist class watched with
keen interest for the results. The
chairman of the republican party of
New Jersey phoned a Passaic news
paper election night, to ask only one
questionable size of the Communist
vote.
New Period.
The Passaic election campaign has
ended and at the same time new
period begins for the Communist
movement of this country-The
Workers (Communist) Party as an
influence in the political life of the
country.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-05-13
By SYLVAN 4. PoLLACK.

The Passaic campaign has ended
and the election taken place While
some workers are disappointed at the
small vote polled by the labor candi-
dates the campaign has resulted in
developing and strengthening Of the
militant labor movement of that city.
Over 1000 votes for Albert Weis-
bord standard bearer of the labor
group out of total of 1900 votes
cast is quite an achievement when one
considers the circumstances of the
election. 1t means that one voter out
Of every seventeen voted for a Com
munist candidate in city where be-
fore the textile strike of 1926 the
Workers (Communist) Party had
practically no influence or prestige
among the workers. Where the
Workers (Communist) Party branch
was no factor in the life of the city, be-
ing just a little group of workers
who held their regular branch meet
ings and an occasional mass meeting
with a comparatively small attend
ance.
Communist Leadership.
As a result of the textile strike and
the leadership given by Albert Weis-
bord and other Communists, the
movement changed from a little
sect to living, dynamic part of the
local labor movement, a thorn in the
side of reaction wherever it showed
its head.
When the time for election drew
near and it was found impossible to
form a labor party due to the
peculiarities of the laws of New Jer-
sey, that compel the election to be
run as a so-called non-partisan affair,
the Workers (Communist) Party
selected three of its members to enter
the campaign as labor spokesman,
with the endorsement of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Standard Bearer.
Albert Weisbord, leader of the
strike, Simon Bambach, a textile
worker and former striker, and Simon
Smeklinson, a garment worker, were
picked as the standard bearers. With
raw material to work with as a cam
paign committee, and with limited
finances the campaign was started.
Several large indoor meetings and
about a dozen street meetings were
held.
Thousands of leaflets and 5000
copies of a special issue of The
DAILY WORKER were distributed.
These were eagerly grabbed by the
workers, many of them for the first
time reading Communist literature.
Why the Small Vote?
Some readers might ask after
reading the account given above, why
the vote cast for the Communist
candidates was not larger than it was.
Several factors have to be taken into
consideration when Analysing that
question.
In the first place, if you consider
the 10000 former strikers as potential
voters you have to face the follow
ing: The largest percentage of them
are not voters. Many of them are

Mexican Communists Send
Greetings to Workers Party
-MARGERY LATrMER.

The following telegram addressed to the Workers Com
muns Party and The DAILY WORKER was received Friday
morning from the chairman of the Mexican Communist Party now
in session in Mexico City:

The rest of the officers expressed
themselves in the same spirit. Some
of them began to revive their cour-
age, and their opinion was such: there
are many sailors, but with bare
hands they can do nothing, while we,
armed with rifles and revolvers, can
if need be, slaughter them like a
herd Of sheep.
Lieutenant Brasov was gloomier
than the rest. He sat at the table,
leaning his head on his hands and
clenching an unlighted cigarette be-
tween his teeth. Evidently the advice
of the officers did not satisfy him.
Finally he Strengthened, his eyes
glowing with determination.

the officers quarters with the shell

] looked sternly at Brasov.
"And what them"
He continued in a steady voice.
"We shall be blown into the air
together with the mutineers, those
desperadoes who know neither honor
nor conscience. That would be a
noble and instantaneous death. 1t
viii save us from torture and shame
full abuse"
At these words the officers shuffl-
ed uncomfortably in their seats.
"On no consideration" / answered
sharply. "That would be horrible
betrayal of our country. We must
remember the war. | hope gentle
men, no one among you would allow
Russia TO be over-run by the Ger
MANS"
We arrived at no decision but re-
solved to wait and see the course
history was steering and to be con-
stantly on the watch.
On the second day we received a
wireless message stunning US with
tidings Of new events. Revolutionary
winds had arisen to a gale and were
sweeping away the decaying masts of
the old regime. The throne of the

my officers completely lost their
heads. Each one carried a revolver
but l already doubted if, at the nee
essary moment, he would get an OPP
portunity to discharge it at his OPP
ponent.
On what was the commander of our
fleet depending? Why is he keeping
the sailors in ignorance Why does
he not join the revolutionary move
ment? In this way only could ne
save the officers.
Meanwhile, on my ship all was or

tempted to sound the sailors through
his secret agents, but could learn
nothing. No signs of mutiny We're
visible. There could be only two ex-
plantations, either the crew suspected
nothing of what was happening in
Russia, or the Reds were conducting
their conspiracy so warily that it YVES
impossible to detect anything. In
the matter of obedience, the sailors
became even better than before, per-
forming their duties cheerfully, as
people perform some heavy labor for
the last time, after which they expect
TO enjoy long rest. This circuni-
stance, more than anything else, gave
cause for suspicion.
A year before the revolution, sew
oral arrests of sailors had been made
in our squadron. Investigation
showed that strong political organi-
cations existed on many Of our war
ships. It was apparent that the fleet
was preparing TO mutiny though it is
true no sailor had yet beef arrested
on the "Thunderbolt." We merely
increased the secret surveillance of
the crew, but this led to no result. At
the same time it was hard TO believe
that the revolutionary contagion had
not penetrated the men under my
command. That is why the last few
days felt distrust. My men seemed
terribly unreliable in their I'M

there were advanced men on board

in Your
Shoulder?
It's Probably Neuritis;
Use TysmOl for Relief

Knifc-like jabs or pain i'm the vi
entity of the shoulder blade are
generally due to neuritis, brought
on by exposure to draughs or sud
den changes of weather. In some
eases there is stiffness or soreness
in the muscles, making it difficult
to raise the arm.
The safest and easiest way to re
lieve such an attack is to apply a
small quantity of Tysmol over tn"
affected area. This soothing, heal
ing preparation is quickly absorb
ed through the pores and carried to
the throhbing, aching peripheral
nerves. Tie pains usually stop az
once. and in very short time the
last trace of soreness should disap-
pear.
Tysmol is absolutely harmless
free from dope. Recommended for
all forms of nerve pain, whether
caused by neuritis, neuralgia, scia-
tica or rheumatism. You can get {"
good supply for 81 at any drug
