tunist deviations from the line of
the Sixth World Congress.
Does Lovestone correct his devia-
ton in his appeal? No, he does
not. In his display of the historic
specific features of American class
relations, in spite of the criticisms
that have been made of his line, he
even yet does not speak of strug-
gle against social democracy, against
reformism, but instead speaks of
the "absence of a strong social
democratic theology and socialist
party organization in comparison
with certain highly developed indus
trial countries of Europe" Thus
Lovestone still shows not only a
very dangerous underestimation of
the role of reformism in the work
ing class of the United States of
America, but also reveals once more
an application of his theory of ex-
ceptionalism.
Conclusion.
Thus, the Appeal to the Tenth
Plenum does not correct the previous
line of Lovestone, Pepper, and
others, but remains on the basis of
four fundamental errors. the four
planks of his opportunist platform:
L. Vulgar opportunist overesti-
nation of American Imperialism,
and the attempt to exclude Amer
lean imperialism from the general
situation of world capitalism.

Statement OF the Central Committee the Communist Party the
On the Appeal Jay Lovestone and Others the Communist ternaon

2. Underestimation of the inner
contradictions of the third period.
8. Underestimation of the radi-
calization of the working class.
4. Underestimation of the danger
of social democracy and of oppor-
tunisr.
These four errors are all forms of
this one and the same opportunist
theory of exceptionalism.
In his appeal Lovestone not only
calls for the withdrawal of the Ad-
dress of the Communist Interna-
tional, which corrected the mistakes
OF the Party, but he proclaims the
correctness of his own opportunistic
line. The line of Lovestone's appeali
is right wing line, the line of OPP
portunist revision of the decisions
of the Sixth World Congress.
No one will be deceived by Love-
stones demagogic assumption Of
the role of the defender of the line
of the Sixth World Congress.
All revisionists of Marx, all re-
visionists of Lenin have always
decked themselves in the robe of
true defenders of Marx and Lenin.
Such is the historic position of a
whole series of renegades, from
Bernstein to Kautsky; it was the
position also of the Russian Men
sheviks; it is the position also of
Trotsky.

ATHENS (By Mail) 1.-THE Greek

officials of the unions have been ar

in Drama was arrested en- bloc, G

of the Tobacco Workers Union was
also arrested.
In Xanthi the police raided the
premises of the Building Workers

The next day 40 members Of the
union were arrested at their work
and dragged off to the police sta
ton. The organizer of the independ-
ent trade union federation, Assikis.
who was arrested on the 18th of
May, has now been deported, to-

he has done with only a handful of
subjects: A prison warden, his en-
tourage, and a group of political
prisoners in a. Siberian bastille of
pre-Soviet days.
A simple story. A concrete
theme. Imagery and composition
that will make you rise from your
seat in admiration. And not for one
moment has Reisman made even the
slightest concession to any artistic
impulse that might have caused him
to lose sight of his purpose, his
theme and become involved in COM
position, in abstract design. Here
again Dreyc-' has been greatly sur
passed. Every short is almost math-
ematically calculated to accuse or
to bitterly caricaturizes those who
for centuries terrorized and tor
tured the political leaders of the
Russian working-class.
"In Old Siberia" is, in fact, Bit
ter indictment of that class all over

tyrizes those individuals among the
workers that lead and organize them
for revolutionary struggle. For,
after all, every character in this

I'm Old Siberia" a Fine
Psychological Study

When we saw Dreyer's "Joan of
Arc" some time ago we thought
that all possibilities of psychological
penetration through the medium of
the camera had been exhausted.
But after seeing Gin Old Siberia"
we are convinced that Dreyer's mas
terpiece has been outdone 1--WE are
speaking here of method, of tech
nique only, content being entirely
out of the question:.
J. Reisman is the young master
who directed it for Gosvojenkino, the
Soviet organization established to
produce films for the education of
the Red Army and Navy. The orig
inal title is "Katorga" and it was
also shown in Germany under the
title of "Zachthaus" (The Prison).
1t is the most merciless and devas-
tating application of the cinema art
to reality that we have yet SEEN.
"In Old Siberia" is he kind of
picture that does away with the au-
dience as a passive element and
sweeps onlookers into the maelstrom
of it's dynamic rhythm, its turbulent
and relentless application to life.
Where others might have content
ed themselves with half measures,
where even Dreyer would have hest
tated, Reisman has dissected, has
torn the veil from a class condemned
by history; has shown us the puru-
lence and brutality Of the ruling
class exterminated by October. This

Prisoners Slated
for DEVILS Island on
Strike in France

PARIS (By Mail).-A strike of
prisoners slated tosbe sent to the
hell-hole on DEVILS Island, French
Guiana, broke out in the French
prison camp of Saint Martin De Re,
near La Rochelle. This is the port
of departure for Devils Island.
Out Of the 400 prisoners at the
camp, many of whom have been held
there for shipment to Guiana for a
year, over 100 refused to work, and
all 400 refused to eat their supper
and left the dining room to hold a
meeting in the yard of the prison.
The conditions at the camp were the
cause of the strike.

POLAND ARRESTS
MILITANT LABOR
Communists Held; in
Brutal Terror

WARSAW, Poland, March 25.-
Arrests Of over 200 workers and
peasants are again arnounced from
various cities in Poland.
Among those arrested are the
usual "emissaries of the Communist
International"
Ore of the stories which reveal
the horrors of the Polish jails into
which the class war prisoners are
constantly herded under the white
terror here is that Of Abraham En-
calender.
In 1926 Engelender was jailed for
a six year term but, while in prison,
he became afflicted with heart
trouble and suffered nervous
breakdown. His entire body became
swollen and the doctors were of the
opinion that he would die if he re-
mains in the prison.
In spite Of the doctors reports,
the authorities have refused to give
Engelender sick leave. A politician,
who is known cs follower of Mar
shall Pilsudski, remarked that if En-
calender were not a political prison
err he would find it much easier tc
obtain sick leave from Jail.

Threatened with Expulsion

girls unanimously voted to keep her
or the job and pay her themselves.
While this was more easily decided
than carried out, she nevertheless
stayed on the job that paid $40 in a
period of the last five months. The
Right wing sent in one of their stars,
J. Roberts, general secretary-treas-
urer of the organization to break
this local but he had to give it up.
Then came the present manager,
Gertler, who tried more subtle
methods, the organization of girls
club activities under the leadership
of forewomen and desigenrs who
had control of two shops. In this
way he hoped to get at least some
base of operations against Anna Da-
vid. His first attempt was to break
up local union meetings of the girls
by sending in men members of the
other locals to disrupt them. This
failed. His next attempt was to
start a new "local" with seven nom
members, but the girls invaded the
meeting and won over the converts.
Then he resorted to secrecy, calling
another meeting, not in the union
headquarters at 35 SO. Dearborn
St., but in Fraternity Hall, at 10 W.
Adams. The girls got wind of the
plan on the last day, however, and
published leaflet attacking the dis
ruptive activity of the Right wing
Especial organizers" Right from
the shops they marched, fifty strong,
invaded the takers meeting, and
made Gertler run yelling for the
police. Organizer David took over
the meeting. This was on Monday
January 81. So once more, despite
a considerable number of strong
arm guards and the protests of the
hall owner, the militant girls car
ried off the day.
On the following Friday the local
had its regular semi-annual meeting
in the Capitol building for the cleo
ton of officers, and Anna David
was unanimously reelected. A
staunch executive board was elected
at the same time and all agreed that
the fight would go on.
On January 20, however, the Cert
Ter outfit determined on one more
attempt. This time they did not
trust themselves to any public hal
! but hid themselves away in a pro
tected private room of the radio
broadcasting station of the Chicago
Federation of Labor at 623 S. Wa
bash. Again fifty girls invaded the
place, got by the guards posted tc
prevent their using the elevators
but were unable to penetrate to the
meeting itself. The disturbance held
up the radio program for some time
and a threat was made to call the
police. When dared to do so, the
takers backed down. Then the ex-
pulsion was finally announced and
now the girls face the problem OF
"wh1; next ?"

part of the convention arrangements
of the Right wing in the lnterna-
tional Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union, Local So, the Chi
cago Women's Millinery Workers
Local is in process of "reorganiza-
ton" After several attempts had
been frustrated by the indignant
girl membership, Manager Gertler
finally got together a handful OF
foreladies and designers as a rump
"local" to whom he announced that
every one of the $50 members of
the local would receive a notice of
suspension from the union, and that
they would have to make new APP
plication to come back, but the
"loyal" members would not have to
worry because only the radicals
would be kept out.
This is the latest move in a battle
that has lasted over a year, during
which the Right wing has been try
ing to break down the resistance
of this militant Left wing local and
it's organizer. There are 1000 I'M
organized women millinery workers
in Chicago, yet the machine has for
whole year directed all its atten-
ton to smashing what organization
had already been built up after two
years of work by this organizer,
Anna David. She was appointed or
ganizer in April, 1926, by the Zarit-
sky crowd who never expected any
sort of organization to be possible
in Chicago. But they soon found
that when Left winger starts out
to orge re the unorganized some
thing pens. Local So was formed
and this was soon followed by the
formation of two other new locals,
those of the cutters and of the
blockers. Then followed the forma-
ton of the Chicago Joint Board, with
five locals, and Anna David unan-
imorsly elected secretary.
From the very start the Chicago
Joint Board was thorn in the side
of the Right wing officialdom. Under
the direction of the yellow "Vor-
waertz" the reactionaries took adj
vantage of the capmakers' strike,
they enabled the bosses to break the
strike and then expelled the leader
of the workers, l. Feingold, lead
ing Communist capmaker. The next
objective in the campaign of de-
stroying the Chicago union by their
own New York bureaucrats was the
Joint Board. It's criticism had to be
stopped else it would become the
rallying center for the Left wing in
the capmakers' trade. So the Left
wing manager, ]. B. Salzburg was
removed by New York, and in the
fight that followed, first two locals,
then a third and finally the fourth
was split away from the Joint Board,
leaving the women's local to carry
on the fight alone.
The Right wing thought to solve
this situation by removing their or
ganizer from the payroll, but the

ganizing Chicago or any other CEN
ter. They make a feeble bluff at it
in order to make some pretense at
justifying their 20 cents per week
per capita. Actually their role is to
prevent the workers from forming
an organization strong enough really
to give the bosses trouble. This has
been shown clearly in their Chicago
capmakers' tactics, and in their dis
ruption of the New York and Boston
locals and of the Chicago Joint Board
and the repeated attempts to destroy
the womens' local. There are tens
of thousands of hat trade workers
a. over the country waiting for a
chance to c~ganize. Only the mil
liant workers can do this, and only
through the new industrial unions.
