THERE ARE BANDITS AND BANDITS

of Parsimony they try to live as best
they can and with the least expendi-
ture of effort. If under given social
conditions banditry offers a better
living than mining or blowing OF
weaving or blacksmithing, men will
practise banditry.
With Open Eyes.
And why not? Is banditry any
more anti-social and parasitic than
real estate operations or stock
gambling? Or living on interest, rent
and dividends? Is it any more
ferocious or inhuman than war?
We shake hands with brokers, bond
holders and brigadier generals. Why
should we draw the line at bandits :?
They take up their profession with
their eyes open. They run the risks
incident to their calling. They make
handsome returns on comparatively
small expenditures of time and small
OUTLAWS of capital. That is, from 9
commercial standpoint, they are
highly successful. In the United
States they have become so numer-
Gus and so prosperous that they may
well demand place in the occup;
tional census of 1880.

portance of controlling this big mass
movement. No wonder that the CO.
operative question was one in which
the reformists fought the MARKHAM
revolutionists most bitterly. Lenin
not only debated with the opportun-
lists in the sessions of the commission,
but he also submitted his own theses.
AS these theses very clearly point out
Lenin's conception of cooperation, we
publish them here:
Theses Proposed by Lenin.
"The congress declares:
81. That the proletarian consumers
cooperatives improve the condition of
the working class by reducing the ex-
ploitation of all kinds of middlemen,
by exerting an influence in the work
ing conditions of the workers engaged
in the distribution Of products, and
by giving better conditions for its
own employees.
tOn the other hand the congress
declares:
81. That the betterment achieved
thru the help of the cooperatives is
insignificant so long as the means of
production are in the hands of that
class whose overthrow is essential for
the realization of socialism.
"2. That the cooperatives are not
organs of the immediate struggle
against capitalism, and that they with
other similar organizations of the
other classes. may develop the illusion

Cling for a Communist "Freiheit."
This resulted in internal differences
and struggles. A number of years
passed before this process Of crys-
talization was completed. With the
aid of the Central Executive Com

was built a consistent unified Jew

munist) Party. This Jewish section
proceeded to lay the foundation for
the present "Freiheit."
Results Justify Hardships.
In the Jewish labor movement the
need for "Freiheit" was sorely felt.
Every live, active force in the labor
movement centers itself today around
the Communists. The labor bureau
Gratis have openly allied themselves
with the employing class. Every
class-conscious worker understands
that only over the heads and in spite
of the labor lieutenants of capital

The Freiheit record of struggle in
the interests of the working class

best fighters in the Jewish labor
movement. The road it has yet to
travel is hard one. But she is
steeled to meet the struggles ahead.
The results of the last six years of
the activities of the Freiheit have
more than justified the hardships and
sacrifice made by thousands of work
ers to build the Freiheit.

Staged Program

Cheers for labor party, the jeer-

president of the American Federation

voices of the workers-these were the
features of mass meeting called by

afternoon, at which. Green utilized
every resource at his command to
prevent any rank and file expression
from being heard.

partly farcical injunction "drive"
were William D. Mahon, president of
the Amalgamated Association of

the New York State Federation of
Labor, Joseph P. Ryan, president of
the Central Trades and Labor Council,
and many other labor officials. Be-
sides number of Representatives OF

Tammany and republican politicians
and the members of the catholic and
protestant hierarchies.
Cheer For Labor Party.
The height of the rank and file re-
sentiment at what they manifestly re-
garded as verbal camouflage on the
part of all the speakers, was reached
when Green announced that he would
fight the injunction by appearing at
the chambers of the legislatures. At
this point young woman worker
arose and shouted: mo, no, we want
a labor party" Instantly the hall was
in frenzied uproar. For fully eight
minutes cheering, shouting and
stamping of feet continued in spite Of
