at the trial: Prosecuting counsel
holly pursues a point in the evidence
of one of the accused and pours a
rapid fire of questions at him. The
accused is being carried off his feet.
The president intervenes:
To Krilenko: swat minute, let
him finish his reply"
To the accused: "Do you want to
say anything more on this point 2"
The accused explains what he wants
to say.
To Krilenko: "Have you any more
questions? Please continue"
Accused clustered.
In the course Of cross examination
the accused will get flustered. Seeing
this the president will take up the
questioning himself and with quip
and jest put the accused at his ease
again and then only let the prosecut-
ing counsel continue.
The accused are defended by coun-
sci of their own choosing, the ablest
in the profession here. The German
Social-Democrats demonstratively de-
manded to he allowed to appoint a
German lawyer to defend one of the

eighty of the Soviet State. The de-
tense of the German prisoners was
arranged by the German Embassy
here and the best counsel obtainable
have been engaged.
In addition to their counsel the
accused themselves are permitted to
cross-examine witnesses. After each
witness has given evidence and after
he or she has been examined by de-
Tending counsel the president calls
upon the accused concerned to ques-
ton the witness if he desires to do
so. Sometimes quite wrangle takes
place between the accused and wit

until the president pulls them up:

you deny it. Very well, you must now

This is avowedly class court; the
court of the proletarian dictatorship;
but it is scrupulously fair one and

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-26

Of the Independent farmers them
selves, it can be pointed out that the
average farmer receives only about
$3.50 for his own labor, the labor of
his family and the return on his in
vestmont, and that only about half
of this is in cash.
The average agricultural worker
earns less than $500 year but if
we allow the average farmer any re-
turn on his investment his own wage
falls considerably below that of his
hired man. Here is one explanation
Of the lack of purchasing power for
the products of industry which con-
stantly forces curtailment of factory
employment.
The average monthly farm wage of
$48.63 compares with $65.05 in 1920
and $30.21 in 1913. This represents
a drop Of % per cent since 1920 to a
level about 81 per cent above 1918.

day. Compared to wealthy United
States, Soviet Russia is still very
poor country. Nevertheless it could
afford to establish 7-hour day. 1t
was established without strikes, with
out pickets, without injunctions. Why,
because Soviet Russia was established
as the result of successful revolution
which crushed capitalism and set up
a working class government with lib
erty and freedom, both political and
economic for the workers and not for
the shirkers.
I was a member of the socialist
party over a period of IL years. I
know what is left of the socialist
party. l know that the revolutionary
and militant elements have been
driven out Of the socialist party.
l remember how I was expelled from
the socialist party. A detective was
planted in the central committee. The
police encircled the party headquarters
so as not TO let us in. Now what is
left of the socialist party? Where
are its 100000 members? What is
left? The Norman Thomases, the Vic
tor Bergers, the Hillquits, the O'Neals,
the doctors, the lawyers, the dentists,
the shopkeepers, the prostitute intel
lectuals, all lickspittles of capitalism.
That is what is left in the socialist
party. (applause)
The Communist Party out of this
convention sends clarion call to the
West, to the North, to the South, and
to the East.
1t sends clarion call into every
factory, into every mine, into every
mill.
It sends call to all workers, to all
exploited, the farmers as well as
workers.
1t sends call to the blacks, to the
yellow races, to the whites, unite
against the powerful enemy, crush
capitalism, make the working class

moral decay. Eugene V. Debs must
turn in his grave when he hears Ber-
ger state that the main task of the
socialist party is to make capitalism
and its government honest and to pre-
vent its decay. The class struggle
doesn't exist for Congressman Berger.
In the article on the socialist party
and the 1928 election campaign, Vic
tor Berger also makes the following
statement, l will read it:
''The prime essential factor, how
ever, is the awakening of the social
genius of American people. With
cut such awakening a real change
in our public life is impossible.
Without a change in American
psychology even a successful revOlu-
ton will mean only change of mas
ters."
He continues:
"a similar instance we see in
Russia where after all neither poIit-
zeal or conomic liberty was
achieved"

and political liberty for?
Have we got it in America?
Have you the right to strike? The
right to vote? DO the Negroes have
the right to vote? Quite the con-
trary. Who enjoys the economic and
political liberties in the United States
Mr.. Worker or Mr.. Rockefeller?
Compares Soviet Russia.
The answer is very clear. Not the
workers.
The Haynarkets, the PASSAGES, the
coal strikes, the unemployment, the
injunctions, the whole anti-labor
strike-breaking activities of the CAPT
talist government of the United States,
its sham hypocritical class democracy
is positive proof of the dominance,
rule and dictatorship of the capitalists
over the country.
In the Soviet Union it is different.
In the Soviet Union the workers and
peasants enjoy political and economic
freedom.

Role of the Socialist Party.

At time when the capitalist re-
action is growing, at time when the
intensification of exploitation is in
ereasing, what is the role of the So
cialist party in the labor movement?
, The role of the socialist party in
the labor movement is the role it
demonstrated it can play so we'll in
Germany, Italy, Poland, etc.
1t is the role of the hangman of the
revolution.
1t is no accident that the day after
the New Leader carries an attack
against the textile workers in New
Bedford, against the rank and file
committees that are leading the strike,
after it carries vicious attack against
the Communists, that Communists
and the rank and file of the New Bed
ford Textile strike are arrested and
thrown into prison.
Who is the standard bearer of the
socialist party? The standard bearer
of the socialist party is sky pilot, a
minister, who believes that revolution
is too costly for the workers.
Well, how costly to the working
class is the rule of capitalism and i'm
perialism?
Where has revolution taken place
on the face of the earth that was so
bloody as the imperialist war?
The result of capitalism is wage
cuts, unemployment, poverty, misery,
frame-ups, white terror, fascism and
imperialist world war.
These fruits of capitalism Norman
Thomas favors, but he does not favor
revolution to end all this.
The extent to which the socialist
party has degenerated, its complete
abandonment of the class struggle and
the best traditions of Eugene V. Debs
is clearly indicated in the article writ
ten by Victor Berger in the June issue
Of Current History.

HOT METAL CARRIED
10 MILES BY TRAIN
Ohio Mills Build Special Tank
Cars and Roadbed to Move
Molten Product.

MTDDLETOWN. Ohio Up).--Three
newly designed vacuum jar" tank cars,
each weighing 500 tons when loaded,
have been put into operation by the
American Rolling Mills Co of Middle
town to transport molten metal to its
open-hearth furnaces from the blast
furnaces of the Koppers Co., 10 miles
away.
-Four times ds $50 tons of liquid
metal are hauled over reinforced road
bed of the Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad
between the furnaces, So great is the
weight imposed on the roadbed that a
bridge over the Miami River was built
TO withstand 9 load almost so per cent
greater than any other known span in
the world.
The cars, doub.e lined with flrebrick,
make it possible for the metal to be
kept in its molten state until 1t can be
poured into the open hearthS. Officials
Of the company explain that formerly
it was necessary 10 charge c0ld pigiron
into the open hearth and to subject ii
for several hours to q high tGmpera-
ture to brinG it into molten state. All
this is eliminated through the use Of
the new cars.
Looking like land submarines. with
the enGs resting on railroad tracks, the
cars swing on pivots ana empty their
scorcning load like so much water The
metal is spilled into ladies, which take
it. to the open-hearth furnaces. Two
and n half hours are required for the
round trip over the 10 miles between
the two furnaces. Metal can be kept
molten in the cars as long as fs hours,
