Unity in Deeds Not Words. :"

Unity in Deeds Not Words"
Unity is a maneuver"-you say
it is a maneuver. What are we
maneuvering for when we speak of
unity? Are we trying to jam any
thing down your threats?
We have the majority. The men,
bership is convinced of this. The c. l..
is convinced of this. We are rot
fighting for a majority We are not
trying to convince anybody that we
are majority. Those questions are
settled. What was the maneuver?
Are We trying to make an alliance
with some comrades against others
l say no, but we will deal with that
question in minute. Some comrades
say 1--WE want deeds, not words" We
extent to you the hand Of unity, and
we will keep it extended no matter
how often you refuse it, until you
clasp it and realize that all your
suspicious are unfounded.
Comrade BALKAN has come for
ward with the claim for a niche in
the Party museum. Comrade Bedacht,
he is little fractional - he says in
the Party mausoleum! l don't say
this. We have one difference with
each other, Comrade Bedacht. Com
rade BALKAN is alive and will help
the Party much more than in the
past.
What does Comrade BALKAN claim
He claims: II, as a member of the
group which threw out the slogan of
collective leadership. l think he
threw it away when he misapplied
it. Comrade Cannon is farsighted, is
little more advanced in Party STRAIT
egg. When he said that same thing
about unity, he passed a note up
to the chair at least to have the rec
ord clear that he did not mean what
he said. Comrade BALKAN forgot to
pass a note.
Comrade BALKAN: the collective
leadership which you proposed was
collective leadership of one-third
here. one third there, and one-third
nowhere else, and that form of col
lective leadership which you put up
in your famous nine points is ancient
history. This thing even I put in the
Party mausoleum.
Comrades of the convention will
pardon me if I take minute to re-
veal secret of dead group. When
the question of collective leadership
was raised in the former Ruthenberg
group, Comrade BALKAN was the fell
low who fought Weinstone more Bit
terly than anybody else did in the
group. That revelation l give you
with your indulgence. This is not a
place for indulgences.
Collective Leadership.
About this collective leadership. I
can see how you could have one-third
of delegate. l can see how you can
have even one-seventy-fifth of
delegate, but I cannot see how you
can have one-third of Polbureau
member or Gee member. The C. l.,
together with US, has worked out an
agreement for collective leadership
and that agreement lays the basis
for the establishment of a definite
majority in the incoming Gee. This
agreement recognizes that the trouble
and one of the basic reasons for not
having collective leadership in the
past was because we have parity, a

League of Women Voters to Hold Meeting Next Tuesday - Several Meetings Scheduled For This ESeninS-Briefs.

ENeninG-Briefs.
 First steps in what will possibly terminate in a local volunteer fire department have been taken by the committee of Bolton kasica post, American Legion, which has an- nounced a meeting of the committee with residents at the Warrington Community house on Tuesday eve ming, October II, at s o'clock,
 The announcement of the meeting follows an extensive investigation by the committee, which is headed by Adolph w. Schultz, which has taken place for the past several months Schultz and other members of the committee have made inquiries re- garding suitable apparatus and per sonnel of a department and have also carried their Investigations into insurance fields where they found that the creation of a local depart ment would reduce insurance costs 10 about one half of what they are at the present time.
 The committee in charge of the work has chosen Fire Prevention Week as the time for the raising of the curtain on the subject. Invita- tions have been extended those resi- dents who have already signified their intention of joining the fire de- partment but the committee wishes it understood that the public is welcome and it Is hoped that a large number of volunteers will be obtained at the opening session.
 Al this meeting officers will be elected and committees appointed to investigate and report on the future location of stations, types of appara- jus and other necessary features of the department in the three dis tricts.
 Although this will be the fast open meeting of the fire committee Of the Legion, the town is fairly well vcrsed in it's knowledge of the prin- ciIles of the proposed plan. the Le- zion committee having appeared several times at public meetings to explain the project. Interest in the subject has run high since the Le- zion announced it's intention of in- vestigating the subject and popular opinion seems well divided on the advisabilit of the adoption of the committees recommendations some Berlinites claiming that the New Britain protection afforded the town is more efficient than.a 2 local depart ment would be while others aver that the New Britain protection is subject to unavoidable delays which have proved costly.
