The Communist Academy in
Moscow aPowerfuI Aid to
the Party and Government
By ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL

THE main task of the Communist Academy, at Mos
cow, is to help the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Soviet Government of Workers and Peas
ants, to solve the gigantic problems facing them in
building toward Socialism.
This does not mean that "The Academy" attempts to
present problem ready solved to Josef Stain or Nola
Bulharn, of the Party, to Michael Kalnn Alexis l.
Ryckoff or Anatoe Lunaeharsky of the Government.
Communist policies not developed that way They
not factory made
What the staff of "The Academy" does is to take
problem, that is assigned to it, and then gather all the
available material that tends to shed light upon sou-
ton of this problem. 1t is this material, with sugges-
ons that goes to the officials of the Party and the
heads Of the Government.
That is what happened during the agrarian crisis
when the struggle ragged to the relative Importance
Of the we-to-do the middle and the poor peasantry
and the attitude to be TAKEN against or in favor of
these various strata of the agricultural population.
"The Academy" also great aid in preparing the
"Gosplan"-the five years of economic work-of the
Soviet Union 1t helps settling the continuous prob
lem of how to develop Soviet industry.
This task of "The Academy has taken on huge pro-
portions since the ending of the intervention and the
civil wars, specially since 1926 The Institute of Soviet
Construction has been created special department

tific lines.
Then there is the problem of national autonomy with

these problems in order to provide solutions

The New York Times Points Out Lesson for
Bosses in the Defeat of the Traction Workers

policy of the labor leaders In the
traction industry-as enemies of the
labor movement and agents of the
bosses.
NO section of the working class has
~ ever gained an additional ounce
of bread by choosing surrender in
stead of struggle. The best-in fact
the only-guarantee against sup
pressive legislation is a powerful la
Dor movement, built and steeled by
struggle, conscious of it's power and
willing to use it whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself.
JUST as official cowardise and
" treachery in the Italian, French
and British labor movements have
weakened the working class organi-
cations and encouraged the capitalists
and their governments to enact labor
smashing legislation, so has the de-
feat of the traction workers, brought
about by the surrender of the Off
cial labor leaders without struggle,
encouraged such official organs of
capitalism as the New York Times to
demand an extension of the powers
of the state against the unorganized
and organized workers.
RUT in making this demand the
- capitalist spokesman have them
selves broadened the struggle. Here
is an issue around which every &C.
tive and honest section of the labor
movement can unite the link has
been welded which will unite such
different elements as needle trades
workers and traction workers in a
common struggle for the right to or
ganize and strike.
THE New York Times, which takes
the lead in the fight on both needle
trades and traction workers, and
Hugh Frayne, playing leading role
in smashing the needle trades unions
and betraying the traction workers,
furnish first class symbols of the for
ces opposed to the workers an out
right organ of capitalist reaction and
a labor leader who carries out the
bosses program inside the labor
movement.
Both must be fought and defeated
and one cannot be separated from the
other only at the risk of confusing the
main issue in the struggle for union
organization and the right to strike.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-07-30

The Times concludes correctly that
the present leadership of the organ
lied labor movement will not and can
not wage militant struggle against
anti-strike legislation since it has al
ready endorsed and worked for the
Watson-Parker bill program in the
railroad industry-has given official
sanction to this anti-strike law.
OUT anti-strike legislation must be
~ fought and defeated.
1t is clear, however, that this can
not be done without fighting and de-
feating a labor leadership which puts
weapons into the hands of labor's
enemy while at the same time disarm-
ing the labor movement.
How silly then are the proposals
of the reformists and liberals who de-
plore the struggles inside the unions
for a fighting program and honest
and capable leadership! They would
have this struggle waged in a
"gentlemanly" manner without any
of the name-calling in which uncouth
Communist workers indulge.
ACCORDING to these sensitive souls
"A it is tactically incorrect to state
bluntly that labor leaders like Will
liam Green, Matthew Woll and Hugh
F'rayne are agents of the capitalist
class, that they defeat the aims of the
labor movement, attempt to make it
part of the production machinery of
capitalism, thereby weaken it's
morale, disrupt it organizationally
and open the way to exactly the kind
of suppressive measures advocated
by the New York Times following the
defeat Of the traction workers.
IN the end it all comes to this-that
the official labor leadership and it's
supporters among the intelligentzia
prefer the present conditions in the
traction and other industries, with
the known facts for unrestricted COM
pany domination over the workers
established, to open struggle for or
ganization of the workers against all
forces opposed to this.
This condition is called "peace."
Labor officialdom and its apologists
join with the capitalist press in de-
nouncing as enemies of Society" any
individual or organization-the Com
munist Party, for instance-which
points out that peace is an abstract
term and the correct way to approach
the question is to ask:
"Whose peace is it?" At whose
expense is this peace maintained?"
TO any worker not sunk in twi-
light slumber by the Soporifics of
the capitalist chop" peddlers, it is
clear that industrial peace" is
maintained at the expense of the
working class and that the longer
this peace lasts the worse off the
workers are-politically, economic
ally and socially.
IT is one of the major immediate
tasks Of the Communists and the
organized left wing in the labor
movement to shatter to bits the de-
featist conception that "peace in in
dustry" is possible except at the ex-
pense Of the masses, to expose the
preachers of peace at any price-the

By WILLIAM F. DUNE.

WITH characteristic acumen, the
" New York Times, leading organ
Of American capitalism, has issued a
call for anti-strike legislation follow
ing the surrender of the officials of
the Amalgamated Association and
the A. F. Of L. to the city administra-
ton and the traction barons.
Says The Times:
MIR. Untermyer holds strongly
to the opinion that strikers on
public utility should not be tolera-
ted. He has, in the course of the
recent troubles, added to his lnowl-
edge of organized labor, and per-
haps would be willing to volunteer
his great legal abilities for the
drafting of measure to make the
usually forgotten public an active
and efficient agent in preventing
wanton or wicked strikes"
THE working class pays in more
than one way for the acts of re-
dictionary leaders. 1t pays not only
in the loss of immediate objectives-
the extension of organization, in
creases in wages, better working
conditions and greater political
powerful pays the price of restric-
tive legislation enacted by the CAPT
talists and their agents following de-
feats resulting from incompetent and
treacherous leadership.
THE capitalist class, ever alert to
4 take advantage of every weakness
in the labor movement, and knowing
that it can depend always upon the
trucking responsibility which Amer
lean labor leadership calls "Ameri-
canism," enacted a whole series of
suppressive laws during the war
period as soon as the servility of Ia
Dor officialdom to Imperialism had
been shown by it's persecution of all
workers who were against the war.
Similarly, the knowledge that the
official leaders of the railway shop
mems strike of 1922 would not advo-
cate and lead real resistance to it,
produced the sweeping injunction is
sued by Judge Wilkerson.
IN the case Of the traction workers
organization campaign, and the
proposal for anti-strike legislation
voiced by the New York Times, the
capitalist group whose mouthpiece it
is, and the capitalist class as a whole,
knows that the present policy of la
Dor officialdom is a worker employer
cooperation anti-strike policy and it
knows further that the clamorous
solicitude for the welfare of the pub
lie, to the exclusion of any anxiety
over the welfare of the traction
workers, shown by labor officials in
the traction situation, creates a IA
vorable atmosphere for anti-strike
legislation.
THE Times doubtless has in mind
also the atrocity campaign waged
against the cloakmakers and furriers
unions by the same band of A. F. of
l.. officials in an effort to crush the
militant sections of these unions and
establish an anti-str&e and efficiency
policy in the industry.
