For workers who have little time,
yet who wish to use that little in
getting an understanding of the
basic line and current decisions of
the leading body of the Communist
movement, a reading of the official
organ of the Executive Committee
of the Communist international is
most advisable.
Six articles appear in the current
issue (No. 20). The first, "On the
Upgrade" gives meaty account of
the results of the Tenth Plenum of
the ECCI, in such form as reveals
in few paragraphs the essence of
discussions which took up whole ses-
sions, and sets for the important
disputed points and final decisions
on them. One must understand that
it is necessary to recognize the
deviations from the Bolshevik line,
as they were there exposed, in order
to avoid them and clarity ones COM
prehension of the final thesis of the
Plenum. We cannot over-stress the
Importance of every page of this
article, from which we cannot quote
both from lack of space and from
an inability to set one part out as
more important than others.
Another very necessary article is
"The Reformist Struggle for Peace
Is Preparation for War;" in which
both the pre-war, war and postwar
social democracy is exposed by its
OWN words and actions. We are
reminded that: ut is worth while to
recollect that none other than the
arch-imperialist, Gompers, president
of the A. F. of L., shouted louder
than the rest Damn all wars; ~
but only with this pacifist blabbel
to dragon American workers into
the slaughter.

white terror has attacked then

fully numerous-who do not GRASP
the sweep and power of the colonia.

on the Meerut Trial of Indian Revo,

like saying-under Party instruc
tions.
Days are swiftly approaching il
which the Indian Revolution will b.

being carried out by the socialism
perialist government of Macdonald

BEHIND MEERUT
TREASON TRIAL
Protects Imperialism
From Indian Masses

LONDON, Oct. 2,-When J. H.
Thomas reported yesterday to the
Brighton Labor Party Conference,
it was noted that his magnificent
scheme to alleviate unemployment"
entailing an expenditure of 44,000,-
900 pounds sterling, provides work
for only 1000 unemployed for each
million pounds.
At the evening session, the Indian
policy of the government was dealt
with, mad Fenner Brockway of the
LIP. moved to refer back a section
of the parliamentary report, because
it failed to mention the Meerut
prosecutions.
Drummond Shield, Under-S ecre-
tary of State for India, defended
the governments Indian policy, de-
claring that while the Meerut pris-
eners were arrested before labor"
attained office, the Labor" govern
ment accepted complete response
bility for the present prosecution.
Drummond Shield declared that
the Meerut prisoners were not ar
rested as trade unionists or Com
munists, but on charges of eonspir-
ing to overthrow the Indian govern
ment by armed force with foreign
| finances.
He declared that it was the gov.
ernment's duty to protect the In
dian Masses" and cited the fact
that British lawyer and a Com.
munist representative were "per.
mitted" to proceed to India, as proof
chat the government was using
fairness" His whole speech hae
the effect Of declaring the prisoner:
guilty before their trial.
The Conference voted overwhelm
ingly for the government.
Arthur Henderson, Foreign Sec
rotary, told the Labor Party confer
enee yesterday that the government
had ne intention of giving up tht
British mandate in Palestine. Hen
derson's speech was filled witt
chatter of "peaee" and "disarma
ment," but when a woman delegate
proposed that the government strive
for total disarmament during thu
life of the present parliament, Hen
dersen replied, 1--WE shall not at
tempt what is practically impos
sible."

JOBS UNSTEADY !
FOR WORKERS OF
MD. DRYDOCK
II to Is Hours for All
Working Mothers
(By a Worker Coyrespondent)


BALTIMORE, Nd. by MaiD.-
For some time the writer has been
employed in and about the Mary
land Drydocks in Baltimore. All
of the workers are underpaid and
forced to work under unsanitary
conditions. The wages paid boiler
makers are 60 to IS cents an hour
with no assurance of steady employ
ment. When business is poor the
the higher paid workers are sent
home and the lower paid are allowed
to remain. At certain times Of the
year the workers average as low.
as 40 hours in one month.
At one time the skilled workers
were organized by the A. F. of L.,
but as usual were sold out at the
time of strike. The unskilled and
semi-skilled were not included in the
organization and, sad to state, they
took the places of the workers on
strike. The A. F. of L. organiza-
ton has little or no control over the
situation, and the bosses do with
the workers just about as they
please. And last but not least we
have that snake in human form that
is known in capitalist society as an
industrial detective" These stool
pigeons spend a great deal of time
in shopping around finding nothing,
because the workers Intentionally
misinform these animals.
What the ship yard workers want
and need is a militant trade union
based on the class struggle. One
that will take all workers regard
less of race, color or creed.

governor ordered into Marion the

Salisbury company of the national
guard.
This massacre follows immediate
ly the publication in all Southern
and many other newspapers yester-
day of Governor Gardeners hype-
critical statement that he is in
favor of better wages and condi-
tiens for mill workers. His first
statement advocated the abolition
of mill villages, the little towns
erected, controlled and policed by
mill owners, private slave pens for
their employees, where schools, post
office, government and everything
is directly run by the bosses.
Gardner Immediately saw that
this was going too far, and issued
a correction, denying the abolition

sisting that the workers got through

Governor Gives Signal.
In his statement to the press, the
governor lays the basis for murder
Gus attacks on strikers and union
organizers by claiming that all the
trouble in North Carolina is due to
Communists who came in from the
outside.
The murder of Ella May near
Gastonia followed similar state
ment by the governor, and the kid
mapping of the N, 7. W. organizers
Wells, Saylors and Lell, with the
accompanying flogging and attempts
at lynching, shortly preceded still
another statement. 1t is evident
that Governor Gardeners statements
are intended to furnish a kind OF
canopy of legalism and propaganda
for the mass murder Of workers by
the mill owners gunner.

The interest of a speed -jaded pub lie today in new airplane and mo- tor car records is mild compared with the excitement that attended the setting of a new mark for fast time by steamships and trains 40 years ago.

 The press devoted columns to the trip and the comparative speed Of the fastest trains. An English train had attained the "frightful velocity" of 60 miles an hour, which brought the editorial prediction that maXi- mum in speed soon must be reached.
