BROACH ATTACKS
ELECTRIC UNION
LOCAL 3 WORKERS
Calls Them Cattle"
and BUNS"
(By Electrical Mnrkerl

At our last meeting of Local No
3 electrical workers held at Central
Opera House, H. H. Breach, inter
national president, took over
the whole meeting much to the dis
gust of the members who are getting
tired of seeing his sneering face al
ways before them.
Breach made a vile attack on the
general membership which two
weeks ago refused to vote his $24
dues increase. Breach referred to
the union members as "cattle" and
said that they were not union men.
More Money Yet!
The dues question would come up
again for consideration, he warned
u.s., At the same time he tried the
old game of picturing the progress
which he said has taken place in
the union, but avoided all mention
of unemployment, increasing non
union conditions on the job, and vio-
lations of union rules.
A new business agent was ap-
pointed Dy PrelSs, the business man.
ager, at the swollen salary of $115
per week Breach tried to prove
that this is not more than the aver
age member earns throughout the
year. Some of US unemployed men
did not know whether to laugh OF
get mad.
Breach drew his usual picture Of
needing money by stating that two
/ injunctions facing the organization
required funds to fight them. He
said nothing about giving report
/ for the thousands of dollars already
spent for which no full accounting
has been given. In a most polite
manner he reminded the members
/ that at all times there must be $40,-
900 in the general fund. Should the
fund fall below that sum, every mem
Der would receive a post card to
come to the local and keep on pay
ing until that amount is secured.

bourgeoisie. The theses do not say
that the workers should support the
Swarajists. The fact is, however,
that the Swarajists are not common
Observation-Disclosures, but hesitant
bourgeois opportunists. We must
fight them and tell the workers
what they will do, but we must not
simply describe them as counter
revolutionaries and fail to utilize
the antagonism between them and
imperialism.
"Lenin proposed tanning such an
tagonism and connecting our agita-
ton with it, but Bennett proposes
the opposite 1t is improbable that
the bourgeoisie will even temporar-
lily join the revolutionary camp, but
we must not exclude such a posi-
bility for all colonies beforehand.
Conditions under which temporary
alliance is possible are contained
clearly in the theses"
Two Stages in Bourgeois Revolution.
Kussinen then went on to deal
with the second opposition group to
the theses, consisting of Losovsky,
Schueller, Lominadse and Neumann.
He said
"This group rejected the de-
colonization theory, but declared it
was wrong to speak of two stages
in the bourgeois democratic revolu-
tion However, we see the first
stage in India and the second stage
in China Clarity must be created
concerning the character of the ma
tive bourgeoisie because it has in
fluence over the masses. Our task
is to win these masses for the rev.
olution."
Kussinen then criticized Neumann
and Lominadse, who, he declared,
4 tried to represent themselves as the
saviors of the Communist Interna-
tional from the opportunist morass.
Kussinen declared that the theses
treated insufficiently of the Negro
question. Ireland and South Africa
must also receive more detailed
treatment, he said.
He continued: "The chief tasks
set by the theses were to strengthen
the Communist Parties, plus the con.
4 quest of the masses away from the
national reformists' leadership anc

and it's helpers, particularly the so
cial democracy. The proletar.at, to-

When the great building boom
was over it became necessary
for the average union carpenter to
draw his savings (if he had any,
from the, bank. In looking for a job
he found a line of unemployed car
penters and saw non-union men in
place of union men. He witnessed
the results of the speed-up, the hire
and fire systems and then he be-
gan to realize how far the trade
was from union control and how
much the union officials had ne
elected to utilize the good times"
in the interest of the membership.
Even in some conservative locals,
the membership began to demand
from the officials what they were
going to do with these burning
questions, but the best they could
get from the so-called leaders was
eve are comforting"
Progresslves Active.
But if our reactionary leaders
proved how far they were from
solving the evils in our trade, the
progressive elements proved more
efficient. The progressive carpcn-
tiers Of Greater New York issued a
leaflet with a constructive local
program and a clear analysis of the
conditions in our trade.
We were confronted with elections
for local union officials, carpenters,
state federation and also elections
of delegates to our carpenters gen
eral convention, which takes place
once in four years. The national
committee of the progressive car
penters issued a national program
in which was clear analysis of our
problems and the solutions of them.
This national program of the pro-
gressive carpenters committee made
strong impression among the car
penters of New York. Every union
carpenter who had some thinking
ability could easily realize that we
progressives came with clear un-
Y
Outstanding and with a constructive
program which, if adopted, would
improve our conditions and strength
en- our union. This national program
brought so much enthusiasm to the
rank and file that it was translated
into several languages to give those
whose understanding of the English
is limited an opportunity to study
it. In certain local unions of Greater
New York the question was raised
at the meetings that the local as q
whole should buy these national
programs and distribute them among
the members. A few of the large
locals adopted motion to that eff.
feet.
Unity Necessary.
The local elections and the cleo.
tions of delegates to the genera
convention clearly proved the neces
sity of unity among the progressive
element and the Importance of al

700 Workers Protest
Brutal Action

Especial to the Daily Worker
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Aug. 26.
Police yesterday attacked and
broke up an anti-war meeting held
under the auspices of the Workers
(Communist) Party and Young
Workers (Communist) League on
Bridge Square here, and arrested
Carl Cowl, ex-National Guardsman
and now member of the Young
Workers (Communist) League. Cowl
was roughly handled, taken to the
police station, and detained there
without any charge having been
made against him.
Seven hundred workers, gathered
yon the square to protest against the
capitalist war preparations, stood
their ground in spite of the police
attack and listened to Pat Devine,
who mounted the platform immedi-
ately after the arrest of Cowl, de-
nounce the brutal action of the po-
lice. He called upon the workers to
demand the unconditional release of
Cowl and to fight for their rights of
free speech.
Scores Police Terror.
"The action of the police" he said,
SIS obviously a continuation of the
entire government policy of the sup
preston of anti-militarist work in
the Citizens Military Training
Camps throughout the country"
AS Devine concluded his appeal to
the workers, after all the Workers
(Communist) Party platforms had
been sold to those gathered on the
square, the city bomb squad arrived
at the meeting. "They had evident
ly been rushed to the meeting for
ithe purpose of creating disturb
ance in order to be able to attack

stated.
The meeting, however, was almost
over, and the bomb squad was I'M
able to create any disorder on the
square.
Devine announced another meet
ing to be held Wednesday, with Carl
CowI as the principal speaker. The
TOO workers at the Bridge Square
meeting determined by unanimous
vote to carry on the fight against
the capitalist militarist activities.

characterizing the true nature of
the so-called naval accord between
the French and British govern
ments as an offensive and defensive
alliance, continue to find credence.
The irony of the situation is
heightened by the presence in this
city of the British and French dip
lomats who are responsible for the
signing of the naval accord and the
secretary of state of the govern
ment against which it is understood
primarily to be directed, the United
States.
While it is believed that the basis
of the accord is the common policy
which the two great European pow
ers are carrying on in Asia and
Africa and their common prepare
tons for war against the Soviet
Union, it is rumored that a united
front against the United States is
one of the desirderata of the pact.

Del Bissonette's home run over
the fence at Ebbetts Field in the
last half of the tenth inning beat
the New York Giants, a to 3, and
set McGraw's club another full
game behind the st. Louis Cardinals,
who defeated the Phillies, 6 to l.
The Chicago Cubs drew up to the

1t was the fifth consecutive victory
for Chicago. The Cincinnati Reds
strengthened their hold on fourth
place, turning back the Pirates, 4

The defeat at the hands of the

PERUVIAN TRACT
AS CONCESSION
To Be Used as Source
for Raw Material

BERLIN Aug. 26.-In order to
develop western Brazil as a source
for raw material and ores, the Ger
man Peruvian Company has been
organized here with the aid of New
York capitalists.
In order to provide easy COM
munication with the homeland a
railroad will be constructed from
Tambo del Sol to Pucalpa, connect
ing the terminal of the North Ger
man Lloyd line on the Amazon with
the west coast of South America.
Large tracts of land, rich in min
eral deposits and thinly populated,
along the railroad route have also
been obtained. Besides using the
acquired land as source for raw
material it will also be used to ac-
commodate settlers from Germany.

sinen. sit is a @question not of de-
colonization but of industrialization
under the control of imperialism.
That is the same thing in a differ
ent, form. The acceptance or the
rejection of the theses depends on
the answer to the question: Does
imperialism retard or foster indus
trial development in the colonies?
According to the Marxist analysis
of the development of capitalism,
exploitation of the colonies has
divided the world into two parts
agricultural and industrial. Natur-
ally, capital export conducted by
finance capitalism has caused GER
tain alterations Capital export,
however. does not foster industrial
ization. but is the weapon of i'm
perialist expansion for the CONSOLE
dation of economic dominance and
exploitation of the rawstuff sources.
capital export is accompanied by
certain industrial development, for
instance, the building of railways
and exploiting of mines. but not by
industrialization. British imperial
4 ism wants India as market for in
dustrial products and as an agrariar
dependent.
Lenin's Colonial Theses.
'Iominadse also falls a victim to
the decolonization theory" continued
the speaker. "Ienin's colonial
theses at the Second World Congress
correctly represented the essence OF
the imperialist colonial policy as the
retardation of the industrial devel-
opment. He did not say that Brit
ish imperialism will succeed in hold
ing back industrial development, but
on the contrary development will
proceed and provide grounds for
conflict between British imperialism

has no native industry and without
this there is no possibility of indus
