LETTER FROM A FIGHTER
Tom Mann Gyeets III. d. Bazaar Here

Tom Mann, veteran of nearly two
generations of labor struggles in
England and one Of the leaders of
the National Minority Movement,
has sent letter of greeting to the
sixth annual bazaar Of the New
York District of the international
Labor Defense, which opens Wednes-
day night in New Star Casino, 10th
st. and Park Ave-, and continues I'M
til Sunday night. Mann was presi-
dent Of the National Unemployed
March to London which ended a few
days ago.
The letter, addressed to Rose
Baron, secretary of the New York
Section Of the /. L. d., appears in
the March number of the Labor De-
fender. 1t reads:
"Dear Comrade:
ITO you and to all the comrades
Of the International Labor Defense

from the revolutionary workers on
this side. We know the work you
are engaged in and we are strug-

eve are familiar with such eff
forts and know that much work is
entailed, but it is for a glorious
cause, that you may care for the VIC
Tins of capitalism in the great class
struggle. With the large population
and the many struggles, you have a
great task. We of the I. C. w. p.

in view to your own. We must not
allow the capitalists to ride rough
shod over the workers without the
help of warm hearts and loving
hands of helpfulness, so we congra-
tulate you on what you have done
and especially upon what you are
doing.
"May your bazaar in March be the
biggest success you have ever had.
May you relieve distress, comfort
the otherwise helpless, and inspire
to noble endeavor thousands of mill

workers.

sued declaration renouncing their
Opposition and calling upon former
followers to do likewise. Ella Reeve
Bloor, one of the oldest Opposition
leaders, issued similar statement.
The convention was postponed for
one month till March to give time
for the E. c. c. I. to send letter
to the Convention. The Central
Committee is using the period of
comparative calm after the election
of delegates is completed to inten-
sify the convention discussion still
further, to develop self-criticism,
discussion of Party tasks and issues,
strengthening of the apparatus of
the Party, especially the illegal ap-
paratus, and to intensity the Party's
anti-war activities.
The agenda of the Convention is
as follows:
1. Report of the Central Execu-
tive Committee Economic and Poll
teal Situation. Activities of the
Party and Tasks before the Party.
2. Report of the National Execu-
tive. Committee of the Young Com
munist League.
3. Report of the Sixth World Con-
gress of the Comintern.
a. Report on the Right danger
and Trotskyism.
5. Report on Trade Union Work.
6. Party Organization Problems.
7. Negro Work.
8. The War Danger and the
Struggle against American Imper-
ialism.
8. Election of the Central Execu-
tive Committee and the Central
Control Commission.

the iron range (metsl mining re-

one in favor of the Central Com

The vote on the copper range was
one hundred and fifteen for the Cen

position. In the Ohio coal fields
where the Party has led the Penn
sylvania-Ohio coal strike, the vote
was one hundred fifteen for the Cen
trail Committee, nothing for the OPP
position. The anthracite coal region

unanimously for the Central Com
mittee.
All textile, shoe, clearinghouse

unanimously for the c. E. C. The
Opposition received some support
only in California (where only forty
per cent of the membership are in
dustrial workers), and in New York
where the Opposition carried five
units and the Central Committee
seventy-two and in Chicago where
the vote was about the same.
Causes Of Defeat.
The reason for this overwhelming
defeat of the Opposition is to be
found in the following develop
ments:
l. The Opposition campaigned for
support on the basis of reservations
to the decisions of the Sixth World
Congress. This was overwhelming
ly rejected by the membership of
the Party.

Voting in Industrial Centers.

From the nickels and dimes palo
by workers and their families, the
F. w. Woolworth Co. coined profits
of over $35,OO0,O00 in 1928. Net
earnings reported for this vast chair
store business have been over $40,

years.

Out of 80 delegates to the forth
coming convention of the Workers

be held in New York March /, SO
are industrial proletarians in their
origin. Sixty-eight of these come
directly from the mines, mills and
factories and twenty-five are Party
functionaries who formerly were in
dustrial proletarians. The Detroit
district convention of the Party was
made up of 90 per cent factory work
ers most of whom are working in
automobile factories. This is the
first convention of the Party where
the majority of the delegates are
workers in industry and not Party
functionaries. 1t is part of the re-
Spouse of the Party to the proposals
of the Sixth Congress that the Party
should hasten the process of draw
ing proletarian elements into the
leadership.
Twelve of the delegates to the
Forthcoming national convention are
Negro workers, one is a japanese
and one a Filipino. There will be
fraternal delegates from the Com
munist Party of Mexico, the Com
munist Party of Canada and from
several other Latin American coun-
tries.

2. The Opposition repeatedly re-
jected the proposals of the Central
Committee for the unification of the
Party on the basis of the acceptance
of the Comintern Decisions, all
other matters to be adjusted by mu-
tual agreement. This the Opposi-
ton rejected. However, the mem
bership insisted upon the notification
of the Party.
8. In the midst of the discussion,
part of the Opposition bloc went
over to Trotskyism Cannon and his
followers) and were expelled from
the Party by unanimous vote of the
Central Committee (including the
Minority members). After Can
mons attempt to split the Party, the
Opposition continued to fight the
Central Committee much harder
than the renegades who were trying
to split the Party. This was re-
sented by the membership and
scores even of Opposition leading
figures broke with the Opposition
on this account and announced their
support of the Central Committee.
a. The most capable leader of the
Party Opposition, Comrade Foster,
was defeated for leadership of the
Opposition by Comrade Bittelman,
and his leadership caused the OPP
position to lose support and to
adopt the reckless line which called
forth the rebuke of the member
ship.
The drift of former Opposition
supporters to the Central Commit
tee continued after the voting.
