In 1908, the police in issuing warn
ings about the May Day demonstra-
tions, threatened to organize Jewish
pogroms. In view of this, the DEM
onstrations were called off in many
towns. But the Caucasian Social
Democratic Union organized power
full demonstrations in Tiflis, Baku
Batum and Kutais.
In 1904, May Day demonstrations
were organized in Warsaw, Riga,
Mitava and Gomel. A new phenom-
enon this year was the fact that the
demonstrations in Riga and Mitava
had their special fighting detach-
ments of workers armed with bay
onets, knives, sticks and stones.
Thus, in connection with the cele-
bration Of the First Of May, the
workers, for the first time organ
lied their armed detachments. That
year many May Day strikes and
meetings were organized.
The third period in the history of
May Day celebrations includes the
years 1905 to 1917.
The principal task Of the revolu-
tionary workers in 1905, was the
preparation Of an armed rising. That
year the May Day celebrations were
very moderate, as the Russian pro-
letariat, being tired of the mass
strikes which followed the blood
bath Of the 9th Of January Of that

demonstration, the Cossacks charged
and 80 people were killed and about
100 wounded.
During the year between May LIST
1905 and list of May 1906, Russia
experienced gigantic revolutionary
events. The May Day celebrations
in 1906 were a mass character,
and exertion of forces during
the general strike and the armed
rising of that year, made itself felt.
On the First of May of 1907, the
Government crushed series of ris-
ings in various parts of Russia, but
its triumph was not complete.
In 1908 the reaction celebrated its
victory over the first revolution.
The working class quietened down.
1t had not recuperated from the
blows suffered nor had it gathered
it's forces for another struggle. The
proletarian holiday also quietened
down and during the years 1908
1911, there were only small May
Day strikes here and there.
But in 1912, the labor movement
was again at it's height. The years
1912-1914, were years Of revolution
airy revival in Russia, and they were
characterized by an increased strike
movement, intensified clandestine
Party activity and the appearance
Of illegal labor papers.
The "Pravda" (Truth) which had
only appeared recently could not,
due to the censor, develop an ex-

year, was now only narshalling its
forces for a general skirmish which
was to follow in the n-onths, Octo-
Der and December of that year. The
Central Committee IF Bolsheviki,"
took that situation into consider
alton, The proclamation issued by
the Bureau jointly with the Editorial
Board of the Bolshevik paper, the
"Vperyod" (Forward) said:
against armed force we can act
only if we are armed; we must dem
onstrate shoulder to shoulder with
rifles and bullets and bombs in our
hands. But the First of May Of
course cannot be the day Of a gen.
eral armed rising. 1t would be
madness to demonstrate on the
streets on the First of May; we
have been exposed enough to the
weapons of the hangmen; but it is
untimely Is yet to come out with
arms. But we have a method of
celebrating the international holt
day of the proletariat, which is a
general strike"
1t is impossible to give an ac-
count Of the enormous amount of
May Day literature that was issued
that year by the revolutionary or
CARNATIONS in the center and in the
provinces. In connection with the
situation in 1905, many strikes and
May Day gatherings were organ
lied; only in Warsaw there was a
demonstration. In dispensing the

various factories and mills have not
been touched. The problem of the
organization of the masses of Negro
workers has gone by almost I'M
noticed in Norfolk.
The social composition of the Nor
folk unit of the Party is extremely
bad. There is not real proletarian
element in the unit. 1t is for this
reason, primarily, that the Norfolk
unit of our Party is utterly unable
to cope with the problems of organi-
cation or to do necessary work.
The Norfolk unit of the Party is
a Jewish-speaking one. This, as we
can readily see, may be responsible
for the loss of American working
class elements, especially the Negro
workers, who are entirely English
speaking. To cite an example; the
one worker whom the unit could
claim as a member was non-Jewish
and had to stop coming to meetings
because he could not understand
what was going on about him at the
few meetings which he attended.
The Party unit in Norfolk has
adopted white chauvinist attitude
towards the race question and has
fought all moves toward the organi-
cation of Negro workers into nuclei
and units. 1t follows the course of
least resistance and makes no effort
to give the Party's stand on the
Negro question to the masses of
workers. This can be attributed to
the following reason: since taking
leadership in movement to organ
ize the Negroes and advocating
equality of the races would bring
notoriety to most of the members
of the amt, and since all of these are
in business and notoriety is bad for
business, they are fearful of the out
come of an open policy on the Negro
question.
1t is my contention that the unit
members cannot go about the task
of organizing the Negro, con-
scientiously, because of the fact that
they are now, in their businesses ex-
poiting the Negro workers. For
illustration: most of the business
done in Norfolk is installment-plan
selling. The Negro masses are the
primary source Of business for the
installment houses. The Negro, with
no knowledge of values or prices,
knows only that he must pay so
much each week or his belongings
will be taken as payment for the
merchandise purchased. He, in many

The Bloody May Days of Tsarist Russia

tensive First of May campaign, but
the illegal party was busily engaged
in preparations for the First of May.
The tsarist secret service was also
getting ready. Numerous house
searches and arrests were made on
the night of April 28th. The offices
of the "Pravda" and the Menshevik
"Zhivoye Dyelo" (The Vital Cause)
were smashed. About 100 TO 170,-
900 people participated in the May
Day strike of that year throughout
Russia. Attempts were also made
to organize demonstrations, but they
were dispersed by the mounted
police.
The police were particularly active
before the First of May 1914. Daily
reports were coming from various
towns about house searches and ar
rests. But in spite of all the meas
ures taken by the police, 100000
people participated in the May Day
strike in st. Petersburg, $4,000 in
Transcaucasia, 44,60O in Riga, 40,250
in Moscow, 10000 in Reval, $4,000
in Kharkov, 1920 in Nizhni-Novgo-
rod and Sormovo, etc.--a total Of
504,190 people throughout the coun-
try according to the reports of "Put
Pravdy" (The Way Of Truth).

it. This militant group in the Navy
Yard is of the utmost Importance
and cannot be allowed to go its own
way and result in its being lost to
our Party. With the proper leader
ship it must be turned into an active
shop nucleus, embracing the best
elements among Negro and white
workers. 1t is also of the utmost
Importance that nuclei be established
Immediately in all of these bases and
military schools.
Negro Question.
The Negro question in Virginia is
acute. Discrimination, segregation
and Jim-Crowism are everywhere
prevalent. The Negro, although ex-
plotted even more than the white
worker, is not outwardly revolu-
tionary. The Negro masses now
working in the mills are the same
masses who a few years ago were
engaged solely in agricultural pur-
suits.
Now employed in factories and
mills, and getting slight bit more,
in the way of wages, than when he
was agrarian, the Negro has become,
outwardly at least, quite passive.
The attitude of the masses of white
workers toward the Negro is, gen
orally, that hatred which has been
instilled in them by bourgeois propa-
ganda and teaching. There are sew
eral groups of militant Negro work
ers in both Norfolk and Richmond.
These, like the Navy Yard group,
have not been touched.
These groups are now ready for
development. They must not be al
lowed to go on in their own way or
they too will be lost to the Party. 1t
is of the utmost Importance that the
members of these militant groups
be drawn into the revolutionary
struggle. The masses of Negro
workers in Virginia are readers OF
the reactionary NEGRO World" and
the "Norfolk Journal and Guide" 1t
is urgent that the "Negro Cham
pion" conduct campaign and secure
as readers the masses Of Negro
workers in Virginia. 1t is also i'm
portant that a special publication
dealing with the vital problems OF
the southern industrial workers,
agrarian laborers and tenant farm
ers, be issued and distributed.
Composition of Norfolk Unit.

done in Norfolk. The Navy Yard

cases, continues to pay for as long
as two and sometimes even three
years. Since most of the Norfolk
Party members run installment
houses, the reason for this chauvin-
ism on their part can be readily
seen.
The Party's invasion of Virginia
in the last election campaign did not
give rise to any organizational
gains. In Norfolk there were three
campaign meetings. Two of these
were arranged by the National Of
flee of the Party and the third by
the district office at Philadelphia.
The Norfolk section of the Party
did very little towards the success
of these meetings. The same, I be-
lieve, is true of Richmond.
Proposals.
Our Party must undertake the
complete reorganization of the Nor
folk and Richmond units. 1t must
inaugurate an extensive campaign to
organize real proletarian elements
into units and nuclei, and in line with
the general situation in the South,
of which Virginia is partly typical,
it is my opinion that the Party must
pay particular attention to the i'm
mediate organization of Southern
district with all the functioning de-
partments, such as Women's, Negro,
Youth, and Pioneer.
The Trade Union Educational
League must establish itself in the
South in order to draw the great
masses of unorganized workers into
the struggle on the industrial field.
More attention must be paid to the
organization of the Southern work
ers into the new industrial unions.
Our Party must analyze the condl-
tions of the agrarian laborers and
tenant farmers with a view towards
laying out a program around which
we must rally these agrarian labor

EDITORS NOTE-The Norfolk
unit has already been reorganized
because of white chauvinism. The
District Committee is now engaged
in building a real Party unit from
among the workers in the basic in
dustries, concentrating among the
workers of the Navy Yard.
The condition described by Com
rade Keith existed and to an
extent still exists in other Party
units in the South. The Party is
now giving attention to these units
in reOrganizing them and orienta-
ting itself on the Negro prole-
tarians and the workers in the
basic industries generally.
