The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-06-01

prepare for the presentation Of ma
terial, and finally after the whole
factory has thus discussed its own af-
fairs in the light Of the questions
raised by the press, the worker CORE
spondents and all others who can be
moved to do so write in to the paper
what they have CLEANED Of the views
Of the workers and also whatever de-
tails Of fact they can contribute
These letters are frankly published
and sometimes regular press debates
ensue.
At the close Of the campaign an
other general meeting is called and
the results are subjected to discussion
In the case mentioned where almost
a third Of the workers wrote per-
sonally to the newspaper AZ definite
suggestions were made, Of which %
were accepted at once and carried out
to an extent Of 80 per cent. As a re-
suit, also, the friction which existed
between the workers and the tech
niciaus was liquidated.
Opposition ScOrned.
Following Gussiev's speech there
were short addresses by Comrade
Ulianova and others including a fac
tory worker who had taken part in
the Illegal distribution of the original
"Pra4da." Thereupon Comrade Zinc
view, who had been sitting at the ex-
treme rear of the platform, asked for
the floor It was granted without
question and, as an old "Pravda" col
laborator his reception by the audi
ence was fairly cordial. This was his
first appearance since his crushing
defeat in the XIV Congress of the
| CPSU and the VII Enlarged Exec
utive of the Comintern, and there was
great interest in what he would have
to say. He did not leave his hearers
long in doubt. Assuring them that
in the event of a war on the Soviet
Union every comrade (of the Opposi-
toni would be found in the solid
united Party front, he attacked the
Party policy in China and especially
the "Pravda" which. he said, did not
give sufficiently earnest attention to
the war danger and did not print his
article on May First. By this time
dissatisfaction embraced the whole
audience and shouts Of Enough"
came from all parts of the hall.
Not Fooled BY Pretty Speeches.
No sooner had he wound up his re-
marks than Nicolai Bukharin went to
the tribune-where he was given a
tremendous ovation. He had not in
tended to speak he said, but the I'M
heard of attitude Of Zinoviev made
an immediate reply necessary. To
come before an open mass meeting IN
such critical time with an attack Of
this sort was a crime against the
Party. The charges made by Zinoviev
he refuted completely, and the pretty
phrases about united front of the
Party" were exposed by comparison
with Zinoviev's actions. A resolution
endorsing the policy of the Central
Committee and censuring the Opposi'
ton was then offered from the floor
and adopted with only two dissenting
votes.
As is customary in such celebra-
tions, a very fine concert program
followed the serious part of the
meeting. Each guest received a
souvenir anniversary Jacket of
"Pravda" and it's other publications.
This drawing taken from the 18th an
niversary supplement of "Pravda"
illustrates the hectic experiences Of
the sheet with the Czarist and Keren-
sky police. In its history between
1912 and 1917 it had to change its
name sixteen times of which six
changes were after the February
revolution. The sequence Of the vari-
Gus titles and the number Of issues
through which they lived is as fol-
lows: "Pravda" (Truth) 440 days, |
Workers Truth" (17 issues), North
