The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-02
By I. JEROME.

IF there is still a worker with a
particle of faith in the endeavors
of the labor bureaucrats to fight in
functions, the latest manoeuvre of the
so-called labor-leaders of this state
should serve to sober him. The re-
ference, of course, is to the Injunc-
ton Regulation Bill drafted by the
New York State Federation of Labor,
and known as the Byrne Bill.
A great to-do has been made by
the labor officials about this "chief
preferred labor bill of 1928" There
has been much trumpeting and pomp-
osity. There have been advance no.

PRODUCTION of the measure in the leg
islature, public hearing before the
Industrial Survey Commission, and
only few days ago mass meeting
in Cooper Union at which, it must be
recorded, Mr.. Green and his colleagues
did not fare so we'll due to an over
sight on the part of the arrangement
committee in permitting workers to
enter the hall. Yet all the Fordesque
advertising has not succeeded in blind
ing the American workers to this
fact-that the Byrne Bill is retreat
and not an advance.
Complete Surrender.
The officials of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor have never been
great warriors in the workers cause
Nevertheless, in the days before they
took the road to surrender, they adj

functions. That tradition was formu-
lated in a perennial convention reso-

the so-called "Model Bill" for intro

Of such nature was the Hacken-

the New York State Assembly by
the New York Federation of Labor q

widely in the proposed bills.
An official commission, working for
2 years with an appropriation Of $5,-

Ruthenberg, the American Labor
Movement and the Everyday strug-
giles of the Workers.
AS a feminist, Ruthenberg fought
n consistently for revolutionizing
of the American labor movement, for
developing its mass, organizations
(trade unions, etc. into militant or
CARNATIONS of class struggle.
His whole life is an unbroken chain
of hard, strenuous work and struggle
in the interests of the working class
and the labor movement.
AS a Bolshevik, Ruthenberg never
lost sight of the chief objective of
Communists, in the class struggle,
which is to revolutionize the minds
and struggles of the masses and to

Ruthenberg and the Soviet Union
IN line with his revolutionary out
look and his rapid development to-
wards Bolshevism in that period,
Ruthenberg was one of the first and
staunchest supporters of the Soviet
Union.
He realized the revolutionary role
of the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics, its place (as the bulwark of
working class power) to inspire and
mobilize the American masses. With
this consciousness he worked tire
lessly for the recognition and defense
of the Soviet Union.

Story Of First
International

INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS,
S81 Fourth Avenue, New York,
have just published the first author
itative history of the international
Workingmen's Association, the First
International"
For many years English-speaking
students of the labor movement have
been denied the possibility of studying
one of the most important and inter
esting periods in the history Of the
international labor movement, be-
cause nothing was available in the
English language that gave any ac-
count of the first attempt at inter-
national organization Of labor, that
was founded by Karl Marx in 1864.
The book just published under the
title of "The History of the First
international" was written by G. NJ.
Stekloff, well-nown writer and
translator Of historical and MARKHAM
writings. The book has been trans
lated from the third Russian edition
by Eden and Cedar Paul. 1t is one
of the most detailed studies, not only
of the International WorAngmen's
Association during the period of it's
existence, but contains also a great
deal of material interpreting the con-
ditions and the period which gave
rise to the First International.
The book, which has altogether 46S
pages, contains great many explain
atary notes, the constitution of the
International, as well as the names
of the first Central Council. No stu
dent of the international labor move
ment or Marxism should be without
this first authoritative and complete
study of the First International in
the English language.

defects Is the failure Ho formulate
the slogan of Civil War against I'M

The experiences of Ruthenberg and
the militant workers associated III the
struggle against the impsrialist war
contributed greatly towards the revo-
lutionizing of the American working
class and the eventual crystalliza-
ton in America of a. Communist

International.
The American working class must
remember the tradition of resistance
to iruperialist war symbolized by
Ruthenberg and by the mutiny of the

DUTHENBERG was feminist and
AZ a Bolshevik He studied feminist
theory and practice and waged a
successful struggle to convert the ad-
vanced sections of the American
working class to the feminist
ideology.
This leader of American workers
studied Leninism, not for academic
purposes but for the purpose of APP
plying the theory and practice of the
world revolutionary movement, as
embodied in Leninism, to the concrete
conditions of the class struggle in
America and for building up a mill
ant labor movement and powerful
Communist Party in the United
States to lead the oppressed masses
to victory and freedom.
From Left-Wing Socialism to
Leninism.
DUTHENBERG was for many years
~ leading militant left wing So
cialist in the ranks of the Socialist
Party of America. AS such, he
exerted tremendous influence for
maintaining the working class char
acter of the socialist party and for
pressing it's official leadership to
militant struggle against capitalism
and the capitalist government.
But Ruthenberg did not stop at So
cialist left wingfsm. For him it was
transition to complete working
class revoluti binary philosophy ana
practice Nenihism.
The late Shperialist war, which he
combatted bravely and systematic
ally, the working class revolution in
Russia and the formation of the Com
munist International, all contributed
towards clarifying his point of view
and towards bringing him into the
position of one of the outstanding
leaders in the Communist movement
of the world.
Founder and Builder of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
GUTENBERG was one of the first
Az working class revolutions, in the
United States who had drawn prac-
tical implications from the expert
ences Of the working class during the
war to the concrete situa ions of the
class struggle in the United States.
Tho first of these practical con-
illusions was the idea of breaking
definitely with the opportunists, re-
/ formists and traitors in the socialist
party and of modifying the advanced
sections of the American working
class into a Communist Party. Thus
Ruthenberg became one Of the chiet
founders and most energetic builders
of the Communist movement in
America.

SIX OF TITLE TEAM

However, Much Good Talent

While four leading members Of the
crack Tech High School track team,
which last Saturday won the public
high school meet for the fifth year In
row, will be lost by graduation next
month, as many stellar performers viii
remain as a nucleus for the 192s-2o

In view Of the fact that all those
returning we're ranking members Of
the team during the past season, 1t is
figured that the Maroon and Gray
should be unusually formidable during
1929, as a campaigns experience
doubtless will be reflected in even bet
ter performances next season.
Robert Bailey, hurdler and quarter
miller; Basil Postlewaithe. sprinter and
broad jumper: Edgar Shaw, miller, and
Harry Mullen, sprinter, will receive
their diplomas next month. and Smit-
skamp and Stelzer, promising miller
and shotputter. respectively, also win
be missing. Bailey probably viii be ap-
pointed captain Of the team by Coach
Hap Hardell IN recognition Of his fine
record throughout his four years. No
captain for the team was named at
The start Of this season, as has been
customary. Bailey probably will enter
the University Of Pennsylvania next
Fall.
Heading the stalwarts who win be on
hand next season is Jack Edwards,
sprinter and sfotputter extraordinary.
Others to return win be Allen Pope,
hurdler, and Nebel and Reichmann,
quarter and half miller, respectively.
Edwards, Nebel and Reichmann all
were members of the feet mile relay
team which last Saturday won the
event In record breaking time to gar
ner the meet laurels. Bailey is the
only one of the quartet who win be lost.

Today also was to be marked by only
one contest, but it was important, as
it was to bring together Eastern and

Gonzaga nosed out a 5-4 win over
Eastern's nine yesterday and avenged

Early in the season here Georgetown

the Blue will be out to even scores to-
morrow. 1t will be Maryland's first
game Of the campaign against Prince

Georgetown's nine was the lone local

LACROSSE TO SUPPLANT
BASE BALL AT ST. JOHNS

ANNAPOLIS, May 29.--Lacrosse
will be the major Spring sport and
base ball will be done away with,
il seems, as a result Of the vote
taken by the student body Of st.
Johns College.
Thes faculty had given a choice
between the two Spring sports and
called a meeting so that the stu
dents might signify their preference
by a formal vote. The vote was
close, so favoring lacrosse and so
base ball among those choosing to
express a preference.
Officials had felt that IL would be
inadyisabie to continue both Ia
crosse and base ball In the future,
but the faculty did not wish to 90
contrary 10 the sentiment of the
ajority Of the students.
