Party without whose leadership sue

class. Those candidates go into the
field as marshalls, but at the same
time under the discipline of the Party
and subject to the iron command to
carry out the will and the program

We of the committee, without any
dissenting vote or dissenting thought,
without the proposal of any other
names, have been able to reach a
conclusion. in favor of candidate for
president of the United States and
another for vice president.
We recommend for the presidential
candidate a man whose name is asso-
ciated first of all in the minds of the
workers with that great struggle of
the working class, the steel strike
of some years ago. In this man we
recommend are embodied the best ira
ditions Of the old days of the social
ist party when we all-tl,e older ones
among us here-were in it; enlbodies
the best traditions of the industrial
workers of the world when that too
was a revolutionary organization. He

committees. In the course Of this
important duty the unions became
themselves virtually part of the
machinery of government.
The new role of the unions was dis
cussed at the First All-Russian Con-
gress of Trade Unions called in Petro-
grad in January, 1918. This congress
recognized the fact that the whole
question of workers control was bound
up with "the general system Of regu-
lation of national economy; that it is
the basis of state regulation" 1t
likewise decided that the trade unions
could not be neutral in the struggle
to establish socialism during the per-
iod Of proletarian dictatorship Con-
sequently it passed resolutions strong
ly supporting the Soviet Government
and expressing its desire to work with
it in the tremendous task of economic
lconstruction. The congress also con-
frmed the action of the conference of
trade unions held the previous June,
that fthe factory committees must
become local. organs of the union" and
should not carry on an existence sep
arate and apart from the union move
ment. Accordingly it abolished the
Central Council Of the Factory Com
mittees which hitherto had played an
Independent role in urdting the COM
mittees Of various factJries. This CON
gress also strengthened the "produc-
ton principle" Of organization, pro-
vided for a further Capitalization of
the union on vertical lines and stressed
the role of the unions in the indus
trial upbuilding of the country.
The story of the unions during the
entire period of war communism
would provide material for separ-
ate volume. Briefly, it may be said
that from this time on the unions,

Federation Of Labor; the candidate
we propose is pioneer of the Com
munist movement who was himself la
the old underground movement of
our Communist Party in the days
when we were illegalized; a man
whom the capitalist class tried to
imprison in Michigan, a member of
the Executive Committee of the Com
munist International; a man whose
name Strikes terror and fear and
hatred into the hearts of the capital
list class.
For president we have to re-
commend a veteran of the trade
union struggle in the largest city of
the most brutal capitalism of the
world. We have to recommend a
fighter, fighter for revolutionary
principles in the socialist party, in
the days when john Reed and Charles
E. Ruthenberg led that revolutionary
body; man who represents our ira
ditions as founder ofsthe left wing
in the socialist party, a founder of
the Communist Party, a founder of
the American section of the Commun-
ist, international, who has spend long
years of prison and suffering in be-
half of our class emancipation.

Heroic Deeds"
Some of the heroic deeds Of the
Japanese bourgeoisie are the murders
of Comrade Hawai- and seven other
workers committed by the police, the
murder of the anarchist Oosugi, his
wife and brother, also committed by
the police, the Corean pogroms, OF
which thousands Of human beings
were victims; the hanging of Nauba,
who had made an attempt on the life
Of the prince regent, the hanging of
the worker, Fruit, who had made an
attempt against the life of General
Fukudu, the instigator of the Corean
rogroms; and the sentencing to death
Of the Cox cans, Faku and Kanoko,
for high treason.
AS part of it's campaign against
the workers and peasants, the Jap
anese government passed a number
of extraordinary laws, such as the law
against civil strife, the act for the
preservation of law and order, which
involves sentences of ten years for
the least infraction, and labor legis-
lation which permits the most thoro-
going medding by the police in eco
nomic struggles.
Fascist Organizations.
Besides these measures, the govern
ment is favoring a number of fascist
organizations of which there are doz-

ems in Japan, among others the Kok-
usaikai, the society for struggle
against the Red peril, the defender
of the imperial soldiers, the imperial
youth league, the league of young
patriots, and the league of patriotic
women. These organizations take an
active part in the struggle against
strikes and revolutionary organiza
tions in the shops and among the ap-
prentices. They are chiefly active as
denouncers and scab-herders.
The last few years have been char
acterized by the oppression of the
peasant movement in Japan and the
growth of oppression in Corea. Dur
ing the peasant disturbances in 1926
in the Nagani prefecture, and others,
826 men were arrested, of whom 159
were charged with destroying police
booths.
In 1928, as result of the election
campaign, there have been numer-
Gus arrests, particularly in the viii
lagos, where the Rodominto, which is
demanding the distribution of the en-
tire land among the peasantry, is very
popular. For example in Kagawa, a
small district in the island of Shikoku,
over 1000 workers were arrested
The total of arrests in Toxic reached
100.

Congress in Moscow, went at mid
night after a session of the congress

somewhat afflicted with some ex-
IRENE leftist views asked Comrade
Lenin whether or not our Party

we should only put up candidates for

Immediately after the March revo-
luton council Of trade unions was
formed in Moscow and another in
Petrograd. These councils later CO.
operated in calling, in June, 1917, the
Third All-Russian Trade Union Con-
ference. This conference consisted
of PAT delegates representing nearly
1000 local unions and 81 central
trades councils, embracing total
membership of about 100000. The
conference was controlled by the Men
shevik and social revolutionary
groups. and confined itself to advo-
eating heavier taxation of the capital
lists, the standardization of prices Of
certain articles consumed by the
working class, state control of inn
portant branches of industry, and sim
liar measures. A general tendency
toward coalition and cooperation with
the employers also manifested itself
at this conference. Nevertheless, it
advocated the industrial principle of
organization and established central
organization for the trade union
movement.
Fror, this time on, however, the
union movement swung sharply to the
left, due, in part, to the vacillation
and weakness Of the Kerensky gov
eminent and it's desire to prolong Rus
