SEATTLE, Wash, (By Nail -
l think that it's just about time that
you know the situation as it stands
on the Coast here. To begin with
there is a great deal of fric ion be-
tween the Workers (Communist)
Party and the Industrial Workers of
the World. An article in The DAILY
WORKER two or three weeks ago in
regards to the rotten leadership Of
the l. W. w. in the Colorado strike
is the cause of it. The Wobblies, that
is their leaders here in Seattle, are
on the soap-box on the Skidroad every
night But instead of talking about
the class struggle, they spend their
time in telling the workers that the
Workers (Communist) Party is in the
pay of Wall Street. And that Com
rade Foster and, in fact, all the lead
ing Communists who are organizing
the workers, are ex-Pinkertons OF
stool-pigeons.
Attack Workers Republic.
But worst of all they make their
most bitter attack against the Soviet
Union. They like to tell the crowd
that Stain is trying to bring about
capitalism in The Soviet Union and
that Trotzky (the only real radical
over there according to the l. w. W.
was sent to Siberia because he started
to clean house. The 1. w. w. says
that the poor Soviet Union is done
for now that Trotsky is stripped of
power. 1t seems funny that the
capitalists Of this country agree with
the l, W. W. on this.
They have openly attacked The
DAILY WORKER, calling it scab
paper. Of course the Keymen of
America, the American Legion and
the Daughters of the Revolution are
also trying to crush The DAILY
WORKER so one more organization
lining up with them won't hurt US
much.
Would End Relief.
Also in regards to the Miners Re-
lief Conference, the Wobblies' dele
gates got up at the last meeting and
told us that they had been instructed
to withdraw from the conference. They
also tried to pass motion demand
ing that all cans lying in restaurants
and stores in different parts of
Seattle for collecting money for the
eastern miners relief be brought in.
They don't care whether the miners
in the east win their strike or not.
Then they have the nerve to preach
solidarity of the workers.
They have been telling how Shiny
the Communist Party is, so now | am
going to show them up. Before the
mass meeting under the auspices
Of the Pennsylvania-Ohio and Colo
RADIO miners relief Fifty per cent
was to go to Colorado. A thousand
handbills were printed and the meet
was to have taken place Sunday
March %. We gathered at the ap-
pointed place to hold our meeting, but
no one showed up SO we did not talk.
Then we found that the l. w. w. had
held another mass meeting in another
section of the city and all the money
they took in they kept to themselves.
I should like to know this: Did the
Pennsylvania and Ohio miners get any
of this? I would like to know why
the |. w. w. is still collecting money
for Colorado when the strike is all
over?
And for the benefit of the gang
here in Seat tie who say that the
Communist movement in Seattle is
dying out, | wish to state that the
Communist Parry in Seattle is grow
ing by leaps and bounds. This is my
answer to their rotten attack on the
Workers (Communist) Party and The
DAILY WORKER. &C.
