The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-01-05

One of the functions of Com
munist paper in America is to con-
vince the American workers that
they need class party. In Europe,
even in Asia or Africa, workers are
in general up to this theoretical lew
ell. at least. They know, and act on
the principle, that they need and
must have a political party of their
own. There the fight is to prove to
them that the social-democratic par
ties are agents of the employers and
are run by the misleaders of labor
who also dominate thru machine
methods the reformish trade unions.
The social-democratic parties are
needed there by the capitalist rulers
to fool the workers, and they are
useful to the ruling class insofar as
they can capture the feeling of the
masses for a workers party and turn
it aside into channels harmless to
the present social, system.
In America this situation has nev-
err generally existed. The American
working class, due to the presence
until a few years ago of an expand
ing frontier, with free land to allow
any worker to become an "independ-
ent farmer" and thus take the pres
sure off the rest of the workers in
the labor market, has had an indi-
vidualistic outlook politically; has
acted on the theory that everybody
had chance to be president if he
was capable of it; has therefore fol-
lowed with rare and not important
exceptions, until recently, the class
parties of the capitalists.
Class Political Action
Recently, to be sure, the begin
nings of class movement have
appeared, and a philosophy of class
political action has begun to pene- !
trate the working and farmer mass
es. To the extent that this is so,
we can say that the Daily Worker
is responsible. For during these
last five years. it is the only daily
paper in the United States, pub Z
lished in English, that has advo-
Gated this theory.
1t has had to fight the Official doc
trine and all the propaganda agen-
tireless, militant fighter in all
struggles of the workers.
Closer to Struggle.
Less important than the first
group is the numerically larger
group of small town and village
papers. This group carries on pre-
carious existence and its editors are
closer to the economic struggle of
the masses. While not clearly real
izing the class implications of the
Negro emancipation struggle, the
editors Of this group are much more
open to revolutionary ideas than are
those of the first group. They also
reach larger mass of readers.
However, it is the first group that
reaches and influences the Negro
proletariat, and therein lies its i'm
portance. It's columns have been
penetrated in the past, but in far
smaller measure than is the case
with the second group. Both groups
are served by four or five news
agencies, including the radical Cru
sader News Service; which occupies
paramount position in the columns
of the second group.

years ago by Marcus Carney.
Just prior to the "War to Make
the World Safe for Democracy a
marked change began to manifest
itself in the Negro rress. Radical
publications like The Crusader, The
Emancipation, blazed the trail for a
more militant economic policy, while
The Voice and The Negro World
gave expression to growing racial
radicalism, the latter paper also
serving as the organ of futile
Zionism.
During the world war note of
bitterness crept into the Negro
press to be followed upon the con-
clusion of the war by a general tone
of militancy, which was evident in
all but the most servile and reac-
tionary publications. While the war
was yet on, radical publications like
The Crusader were analyzing and
attacking the brand of democracy
for which the Allies were seeking
to make the world safe. These pub
LEGATIONS openly encouraged resist
ing with force all efforts at humili-
alton and terrorism, with the result
that several white mobs met armed
resistance to their marauding expe-
ditions into Negro sections. Especi-
ally did this happen after the re-
turn home of the colored soldiers.
q Go Treacherous Road.
Their naive hope in the univer-
8ality of Wilson's democracy shat
ered by events, Negro editors be-
PANE more and more militant in
Hoicing their racial demands. Few
Of them, however, saw the class
implications in the racial struggle.
Others, like Du Bots of The Crisis,
saw quite clearly the class impli-
cations but were unwilling to come
out openly against those responsible
for the theories of higher and lower
races and the exploitation and deg
radiation of their race, with these
theories as justification, since it was
upon the "philantrophy" of this
very group that their own status
as leaders" was based. A. Philip
Randolph and Chandler Ownes, edi-
tors of The Messenger, maintained
a militant struggle for a while, but
with the general betrayal of the
working class by the socialist party
these two socialists went the treach-
erous road of their colleagues.
With the steady rise of the, Negro
bourgeoisie the tendency is toward
conservatism on the part of papers
such as The Amsterdam News, The
Pittsburgh Courier, the Chicago De-
fender, The Atlanta Independent,
The Baltimore Afro-American, etc.
1t is no accident that these papers
are the first to give expression to
the growing power of the Negro
bourgeoisie. They are all published
in the big industrial centers where
the bourgeoisie is concentrated. They
are among the best edited and most
powerful Of the Negro press. While
tending toward economic conserva-
tism these papers still retain, how
ever, large measure of militancy
on racial demands. OF this group
The Atlanta Independent is the
most reactionary, the Baltimore
Afro-American the least reactionary.

Increased Potato Yield.

THE average farmer has been content to cue
up his seed potatoes and plant and be
naore or less satisfied with what he got In
the harvest For many years, from 1858 10
1922. to be exact little was done to improve
the yield, and between those years the i'm
crease in production was only bushels from
the 1858 figure Of - bushels per acre to the
1892 total Of g. Since that time. however,
much progress has been made. and the yield
for the past year was lls.7 bushels. This
figure is still much balew that Of Europe and
Canada.

A few years ago Rockne began his anti

generate into within q few years IL 1o0t hall

Between the halves of Notre DANES next
Homecoming game the contest that Rockne had
described was staged before crowded stands. Il
proved to he of the most talked-of hits Of
sports bunoonery in recent years The Sunday
morning papers the next day gave descriptions
of the burlesque game almost as much space as
the real game that had been played.
Since that time Rockne has improved and en-
larged each year ON these satres and here is his
1929 version Of how q newspaper might report
a 1885 foot bail game between Notre Dame and
Northwestern:

WARRANT OUT FOR
 DEMOCRAT LEADER
O'ConneII Sought in Albany
 Baseball Pool Inquiry

New York. Dec. 2S NP)-Federal authorities today had q warrant fol the arrest of Daniel P. O'Connell, Albany county democratic leader, who was accused in an indictment Of having pcrjured himself 73 times in testifying before grand jury invcs- tigations of the Albany baseball pool.
 O'Connell was indicted last Mon day and his attorney, James L. Cuff, promised he would come here to enter d plea Thursday. O'Connor failed to appear and then Cuf as- sured the court he would motor from Albany yesterday. The hours wore on. and finally counsel told L. s. At torney Charles H. Futile that he would have to institute removal pro- cecdings if he wanted to bring O'Connell into this jurisdiction. A bench warrant was speedily issued by Federal Judge CoXe.
 Warrants were also issued for the arrest of four Albany men who failed To answer subpoenas to testi- fy before the grand jury which is tollllilulllS lIC lllIully Illlo lll't ramification of the pool. which is said to have netted millions for it's promoters. The four are Dan Me Mahon. former member of the as scmbly; Robert Burns, former cap- tain of the night watch at the state | apital building and John F. Rear ney. Some of them were said tc have left Albany
 r O'Conncll is already under s1O.- 900 bail as a material witness in the second trial of James J. Otto, one of three men alleged to have owned the pool.
