ner of the new unions. Hence the whole
power of the capitalist state is brought into
action against those whom the rank and file
of the new unions have entrusted with
leadership.
Let no one think for moment that the
arrests in Pennsylvania and the wholesale
arrests and the indictments in Massachusetts
are separate events. They are part and parcel
of a deliberate nationwide drive against the
new unions and against the organizations
that furnish relief for strikers and defense
for class war victims of capitalist Justice"
Even though the New Bedford strike is
over and the mine strike has long been be-
trayed by the reactionary officials, the fight
has developed into a new stage, is still raging,
and the embattled miners and textile workers
need the help of the rest of the working
class more than ever before.
The heroic strikers of New Bedford who
fought on the picket line and faced the COM
bined assaults of the militia, the police, the
thugs and gunner and who now are threat
ened with prison for their loyalty to their

new unions now being held in Jail must be
liberated to again take their places in the

Resist Drive to Crush New Unions!

Goaded to fury because the new unions in
the mining and textile industries are rally
ing masses of workers to struggle against
wage-cuts, speed-up and unon-wrecking, the
employers are using the power OF the state
governments of Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets in an effort to destroy these unions.
The attempt in Pittsburgh to railroad Pat
Toohey, secretary of the National Miners
Union, to jail; the arrest in the anthracite
region of Anthony Minerich national board
member of the new miners union on framed
up charges of dynamiting a colhery and
church; the conspiracy" indictments IN
New Bedford against Albert Weisbord, secre-
tary of the National Textile Workers Union;
Fred Biedenkapp, secretary Of the Interna-
tional Workers Relief, and Paul Crouch, of
the international Labor Defense; the trial of
some 600 former striking textile workers in
New Bedford, constitute the main features of
ferocious drive against the very existence
of the new unions.
The mine owners and the textile barons
relied upon their friends at the head of the
American Federation of Labor unions, the
United Mine Workers of America and the
United Textile Workers, to aid them in fight
ing to prevent the realization of the demands
of the workers in these industries. But the
servile labor leaders could not deliver the
goods. The response to the appeals of the
new unions proves to the employers of labor
that although they can bride and corrupt
reactionary labor officials these officials are
not able to deliver the workers bound and
gagged
Instead of supinely submitting to the
treacherous demands of the reactionary lead
ers, many thousands of workers in the mining
and textile industries havf rallied to the ban

Licorish, Negro Hero
of Vestris Exposes
White Officers Lies

An affidavit made by Lionel
Licorish, heroic Negro quarter
master of the Vestris, who saved 20
lives during the disaster, refutes
completely the lying charges of
Ernest Smith, second refrigerating
engineer of the vessel, who declared
that it was he and not Licorish who
saved the 20 people among whom
was Licorish himself.
The affidavit, made, it was an
nounced, to halt once and for all the
persistent ISLANDERS against Negro
members of the crew.
Licorish, in his affidavit, points
out that Smith got aboard the boat
while he (Licorish) was swimming
after floating sail. He gives the
details of the heroic rescue which
have been corroborated by number
of passengers and seamen.

Stain on Right Deviations

preached the question of the dis
missal of one of the leading Party
members of a district, to whom the
Farty-workers of the district in
question objected. That is altogether
wrong. 1 might remind Comrade
Bersin of certain episodes of the
years 1919 and 1920, when certain
members of the Control Commits
sion, who had been guilty of GER
tain, believe not very weighty,
mistakes in connection with Party
directives, were punished with eX-
emplary severity at the suggestion
Of Lenin, one of them being sent to
Turkestan and another being all but
excluded from the Control Commits
sion. Was it right of Lenin
to act thus? / believe it was alto
eether right. The position of the
Control Commission was not then
what it is now. At that time half
the Control Commission supported
| Trotsky and the attitude of the
Control Commission was anything
hut stable.
At present the Control Commits
sion proceeds far more cautiously.
Can it be that we desire to be kinder
than Lenin was? No, that is not
the nucleus of the matter. The rea-
son is rather that the situation
within the Control Commission is
for more stable today then it was
then and that the Control Commits
sion has now the possibility of pro-
ceeding more cautiously. Comrade
Sacharov, too, was wrong in assert
ing that the Control Commission in
tervened too late, obviously because
he did not know that the interven-
ton of the Control Commission
commenced as early as February
last. Comrade Sacharov may con-
vince himself of the fact that if he
is so inclined. 1t is a fact that the
intervention of the Control Com
mission did not at once engender
positive results, but it would be
strange if the Control Commission
were to be blamed therefor.
We are led to the following con-
illusions; /. The right danger
within our Party is serious dam
ger, being rooted in the social-econ-
omic conditions of the country. 2.
The danger Of right deviation is
enhanced by the presence of diff
culties which cannot be overcome
without victory over the right
deviation itself and over the con-
ciliatory attitude observed towards
it. 3. In the Moscow organization
there were signs of uncertainty and
vacillation and elements of insta-
bility. 4. With the aid of the Con-
troll Commission and the Party
workers of the districts, the nu-
cleus of the Moscow Committee has
adopted all possible measures to-
wards the liquidation of these vacil-
lations. 5. There can be no doubt
but that the Moscow Committee will
succeed in overcoming the mistakes
apparent in it's midst. 6. Our task
lies in the liquidation of internal
strife, in the uniform consolidation
of the Moscow organization, and in
successful execution of the new
election of nuclei committees on the
basis of an increased self criticism.

Union Scabbery On Albany News
papers

The strike of members of the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union against the news
papers of Albany is one of the most disgrace
full examples of the weakness of the craft
form of organization, combined with official
procrastination, treachery and plain
stupidity 1t was apparent as early as last
May that the union had to conduct fight
against the Albany publishers in order to
maintain union conditions. Instead of
waging fight at that time the reactionary
officials spent months in obviously futile
negotiations, thereby giving the publishers
an opportunity to prepare to import scabs to
man the composing rooms when the strike
was finally forced upon the union.
Already, after few days strike, the pub
fishers announce that the places Of the strlk-
ers are filled In an official statement,
signed by all the Albany publishers, occurs
paragraph that is a damning Indictment OF
the leadership of the printing trades unions
who have consistently fought against the de-
mands of the rank and file for amalga-
nation of the craft unions into powerful de-
partmentalized industrial union embracing
all these employed in producing printing
The Albany strike-breaking and scab-herd-
ing publishers declare:
"Stereotypers, pressmen, engravers and
mailers all organized union men, remain at
their posts under wages and working conditions
against which the printers struck
Let Charles P Howard, president of the
international Typographical Union, explain
why his so-called progressive machine
abandoned the resolution passed at the
Quebec convention in 1921 for amalgamatlon
Let him and the other fake progresslves,
who have proved to be as viciously reac-
tionary as any leadership the printers ever
had. explain to the membership why they ap-
prove separate contracts with the employers,
which really mean approval of one craft scab-
bling upon another.
If there were amalgamation in the print
ing trades the publishers would not be able
to produce newspapers, but would be forced
to Weld to the demands of the workers or
suspend publication. But then, under such
conditions there would not be jobs enough
for the Towards, the George L. Berrys. the
Matt Wolls and other officials. Such people
are among the worst enemies of the work
ing class. They place their personal interests
as misleaders of labor above the interests of
the membership. They are agents of the
publishers and the quicker they are kicked
out of office the sooner the rank and file OF
the workers in the printing trades will be able
to put up real fight against the employers

Cheaper to Bride Inspectors Than
Make Ships Seaw0rthy

The exposure of the fact that Edward
Keane, assistant United States steamboat in
spector, deliberately lied in his report
that the Inflated Vestris had been
properly inspected and found safe for a sea
voyage, again emphasizes one of the most
murderous practices of capitalist political
tools. A job as inspector of anything from
plumbing and rooming houses to passenger
boats and factories is a certificate to obtain
graft.
This sort of thing is inseparable from capt.
talism, where profit is the sole motive of the
owners of property. 1t is cheaper for own
ers of fire-trap factories to bride the in
spectors than it is to provide fire escapes and
other safeguards against holocaust It is
cheaper to bride agents of the labor depart
ment than it is to provide safety devices for
hazardous machinery Any owner of
dilapidated tenement house can avoid con-
demnation proceedings by contributing to
the inspector. Likewise it is possible for
such a hulk as the Vestris to obtain certifi-
cate for seaworthiness by the same expedient
1t is plain business proposition. 1t costs
much more to provide water tight compart-
ments that will enable a damaged ship to
float than to pay government agent to make
lying entry in his report. Likewise it means
real saving of money to have an inspector
report that he examined and tested life boats
and found them sound, than to have to scrap
those with holes in the bottom and replace
them with boats that will float. Even if the
boat does go down there is assurance that the
cargo is insured. There is seldom any danger
of having to pay for the loss of life because
experts" can be bribed to testify that the
boat sank because of IAN act of god" or from
some other equally convincing cause.
Federal, state and municipal inspectors are
appointed because someone in power owes
them political debt.
The appointment enables the beneficiary
to cash in on the game of capitalist politics.
Such wholesale graft is another reason why
the capitalist class and its henchmen hate
and fear Bolshevism. 1t would spoil their
game. In the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics the government exists in order to
defend the interests of the masses who toll.
1t is a class government whose reason for
existence is that it safeguards the lives of
workers and peasants. At the other extreme
of the pole is the government of this country
that exists for the benefit of the capitalist
class. It's reason for existence is that it pro-
tects the profits of the capitalists at the ex-
pense of the lives and health of the workers.
Profits are placed above human life by the
government Of the United States. In the
Soviet Union everything else is subordinated
to the welfare of the workers and peasants
Take your choice Defend capitalism, a
system that exploits and murders you or join
the Workers (Communist) Party and fight
for Soviet government of the United
States that will use all its power to make your
life worth living.

And seeing that all efforts must
be directed towards their elimination
and that perseverance and fortitude
are requisite to this end, qualities
which not all of US possess in a suf-
ficient degree-either owing to
tiredness and exhaustion or else be-
cause of a preference to live quietly,
without trouble or unpleasant Incl
dents-it is just here that vacilla-
ton and hesitation set in, ten
dency towards adopting the line of
least resistance, towards playing
with the idea of a slowing down in
the rate of development of industry,
towards contemplating facilities for
the capitalist elements, towards OPP
posing the foundation of Soviet and
collective farms and everything else
that surpasses the limits of or
binary, everyday work.
Must Be Real Fight.
But we cannot move forward
without overcoming the difficulties
before us. And to this end we must
in the first place attack the right
danger and overcome the right devi-
ations, which are hindering us in
our task of overcoming the difficult
ties and attempting to undermine
our volition in this direction. In
this connection, moreover, the fight
rlust be real fight and not only a
fight on paper, campaign of
words. There are people in our
Party who are not disinclined to
preach against the right devjations
for the sake of relieving their con-
sciences, much in the style of par
sons shouting "Alleluyah," but who
fail to DO. even the very slightest
practical thing for the purpose of
starting a fight against the right
deviations in the necessary way and
of effectively overcoming them.
This tendency may be called con-
ciliatory tendency in relation to the
right, openly opportunist, devia-
tons. 1t is not difficult to under
stand that the fight against such
conciliatory tendencies must form
an essential part of the general
fight against these deviations them
selves and the danger they repre-
sent, for it is impossible to over
come the right opportunist devia-
ton without systematic fight
against the conciliatory elements
which take the opportunists under
their wings.
ConciIiators Defend Rightists.
The question as to the represen-
tatives of this right deviation is I'M
doubtedly of interest, though not de-
cisive. In the lower organizations
Of our Party we encountered such
representatives during the grain
provisioning crisis, when whole
number of Communists in the sub
districts and villages opposed the
policy of the Party and contem-
plated fraternization with kulak
elements. You will remember that
such members were expelled from
our ranks last Writer, as was ex-
pressly pointed out in the we'll
known document Of the c. c. of
our Party in February. 1t would
however, be wrong to assert that
no such elements had remained in our
Party.
If we search higher up in the re-
gional and governmental organiza-
lions of the Party and subject the
Soviet and cooperative apparatus
to strict investigation, it will not
cost us much trouble to find repre-
sentatives of the right deviation and
of the policy of Cancellation in re-
lation to this danger. The letters,

MAYO PLANNING
INSTITUTE FOR
CANCER STUDY
Rochester Medical Authority
Says Work Should be Co.
Ordinatcd

Chicago, Oct. 18. - (HJ - DR..
Charles II. Mayo. noted Rochester
(Minn) surgeon, today announced
plans for establishing cancer re-
search institute at Chicago, where
the experimentalework being con-
Quoted throughout the country may
be coordinated.
DR.. Mayo made his announcement
before the American Health associ-
alton convention, which is in session
here.
The institute would be both
clinical and research headquarters.
Scientists would study the worlds
experiments, and cancer specialists
and surgeons would apply the re-
suits on cancer sufferers.
Details of the plan for the new
institute are being worked out by "A
committee of ten distinguished med
ical leaders, DIR. Mayo said. These
are DR.. Hugh Cummings, surgeon
general Of the United States public
health service; DR.. Gideon Wells,
DIR. William A. Pussy. DR.. Ludwig
Hektoen, DR.. Frank Billings, DR.. Gill
bert Fitzpatrick, DR.. l.. l.. Mac
Arthur, DR.. Frank Morton. DR.. John
E. Tuite, president Of the Illinois
Medical society, and Dr. Herman H.
Bundesen, former Chicago health
commissioner.
DR.. Maude Slye of the University
of Chicago presented records Of her
experiments with mice. showing that
cancer is hereditary but can be
eliminated by proper breeding. DR..
Mayo revealed that he had produced
cancerous growths on plants-straw-
berries, roses. trees-in his Roches-
ter garden. He said he had trained
plants to resist the disease and had
made others subject to it.
"Heredity is very important fac
tor in cancer, and other diseases as
WELL" DR.. Mayo declared. IF you
want to know what you are going
to die Of, look up your family tree.
We find that SIS per cent Of all people
die of diseases which killed their an
cestors."
DR.. Benjamin Goldberg Of the Chi
cago municipal tuberculosis SAM
tarium said the Mexican immigrant
presented serious problem in tuber-
culosis control. The living condi-
tons of the Mexican laborer are con-
ducive to tuberculosis, he said, and
tor this reason the importation of
Mexican labor is rather a menace
to health than an industrial saving.
