FURIOUS TERROR
RACES AGAINST
CROAT PEASANTS
Government Assassins
Threaten Union Heads

Recent reports of New York news
paper correspondents in Yugoslavia,
give some idea of the dreadful terror
now raging in that country against
the workers and peasants, especially
the Croatians. Ever since the crea-
ton of the dictatorship by the
French and British imperialists, the
terror, which in the past was very
sharp, has even been accentuated,
until now none Of the leaders of the
autonomists or labor union and peas
ant organizations are safe from an
assassin's bullets.
For the first time, for instance,
although they have been dead since
April, the Times correspondent re-
ports that Jakovitch and Hetchimo-
witch, were found shot near the
Austrian frontier. 1t was stated by
the gendarmes who shot them that
they were Communists attempting
to run across the border. But later
when the bodies were examined it
was found that they had been shot
in the chest at q range Of one yard,
and that the bodies bore unmistak-
able signs of violence. The two men,
both leaders in the fight of the Croa-
tan peasants against the dictator
ship, were probably killed by agents
and then their bodies were deposited
near the frontier.
Spirit Away Workers.
1t is also reported that there have
been innumerable arrests of workers
and students and that no informa-
ton concerning their whereabouts
could be obtained from the police.
AS a result of the finding Of two
bombs, probably planted, near a
palace where the king was supposed
to stay in Zagreb, capital of Croatia,
all the peasants in the neighborhood
have been prosecuted. Wholesale ar
rests were made and they were sub
jected to tortures in an effort to
obtain information.
The case of Pribitchevitch, leader
Of the Croatian Peasant and Dem
ocratic Party coalition, is illuminat-
ing, not only for the tactics en-
ployed by the dictatorship, but also
of the course of betrayal being fol-
lowed by these bourgeois leaders of
Croatia. Pribitchevitch came home
one night to find an assassin in his
room, whom he stalled and turned
over to the police. The police refused
to prosecute.
The following week, Pribitche-
witch, under cover of seeking medi-
cal treatment for his wife, went to
Belgrade to seek an alliance with
the dictatorship over the heads of
the Croatian people. Once there,
however, he was arrested, exiled to
some small faraway village, where
his life is in danger.

Party and |, representing the Party
in Moscow, had to accept the final
Judgment and decision of the Com
intern and carry it out. But the du-
ties of Communist discipline do not
allow us to rest with formal execu-
ton of Party or Communist Inter
national decisions. To accept the
decision means only to accept its
correctness. To carry out the de-
cision means to clearly absorb the
essence and reasons for the correct
ness. To accept the decision, there
fore. put upon me the duty of burst
ing the skin of fractional preiudices
to enable me to look upon the prob
lens through the eyes of the Com
munist International.
III. ...
The premise Of the Comintern
action en- the problems of our Party
are the analytical and tactical reso-
lutions of the Sixth World Congress.
In these resolutions the present
world situation is characterized as a
new period of post war capitalism,
it's third period. In this period the
productive forces of capitalism,
which had been re-establisked and
strengthened by the partial stabil-
ization of the preceding periods,
have reached a stage of development
in which the constantly sharpening
contradictions create a new crisis
for the capitalist order and eats the
vitals out of its temporary stability.
This crisis takes the primary form
of an immediate war danger, but
manifests itself also in a growth of
the subjective forces of revolution,
in rehabilitation process of the
working class. Acceptance of this
fundamental conclusion of the Com
intern analysis burdened our Party
and it's leadership with the duty to
fight against reformism, to analyze
American imperialism, to find the
forms in which this crisis of world
capitalism develops in America, and
to establish around what issues and
what slogans our American Party
would best be able to mobilize the
workers in the United States as
part of the struggle of the world
proletariat.
The Communist International
charges that our Central Committee
did not do its duty in this case. Is
this criticism by the C. I. correct?
Consideration of only one problem
will give us a decisive answer to
the questionable industrialization
of the South. We stressed the con-
tinued upward surge of American
imperialism. This was not IN con-
flict with the Comintern and its an
alysis. But it was or primary duty
to analyze how the opposite forces
develop simultaneously and parallel
to the productive forces of Ameri-

/ Address.
II.
I have just returned from Mos

corrupt logic, I have there helped to
embody in document after document
in speech after speech, the mon.
strous idea that the Cominterr

cause it is determined to break up
my" faction.
Came on May Il a meeting of the
Presidium of the Communist Inter
national. The Address to ou1
Party-as since published in our
American Party press-was submit
ted to the Presidium by the Amer
lean Commission for final approval
and adoption. There were the lead
ers of our International. There
were many comrades whose revolu-
tionary quality had been tested in
the fire Of decisive revolutionary
battles. There were the leaders of
the leading sections of our World
Party,s whose policies we had again
and again endorsed and accepted as
correct.
One after another of these COM
rades arose to give voice to the de-
termination of the Comintern to
break up and destroy all fractional
groups in our Party, thus to unity
it. One after another arose to point
to the imperative duty of unifica-
ton in the face of the coming bat
ties of the speedily sharpening class
war. One after another arose to
show how the pressure from the
Right tendencies and groupings
within the Comintern is on the one
hand feeding the unprincipled fac
tionalism, and, on the other hand,
fed by it, and how this relationship
of factionalism and Right danger
seriously threatens the readiness
and ability of our Party to fight in
the class struggle. One after an
other arose to appeal from the
Judgment of our fractional concept
to that of our Communist conscience
so that we may do our duty toward
our Party, toward the Comintern,
and toward the working class.
This discussion broke down in me
my will Of resistance. The feeling
gradually grew in me that to pit
my will against the will of my
World Party is a presumption not
growing out of revolutionary, but
out of petty bourgeois logic. I grad
ually began to understand that my
very approach to the whole prob
lem was in itself a proof of the
correctness of the criticism of our
leadership by the Communist Inter
national.
After this discussion in the Pre-
sidium, it was clear to me that our

and went to Whitmire, where an
other mill is on strike.
State Sends Agent.
The Whitmire strike involves l.
300 workers. Of these, the speeders,
who started the movement, demand
fifteen per cent increase in wages.
They have not been cut, or speeded
lately, as is usual when a strike
cause develops in the South, but
are on the offensive, and this new
spirit is due directly to the lessons
taught by the National Textile
Workers Union organizers.
AS assistant to the sell-out of the
U. T. W., the governor of South
Carolina has sent in H. E. Thomp-
son, secretary of the state board of
Cancellation. His task is to act with
the U. T. w. betrayers of labor in
the same capacity as Anna Vein
stock, Of the U. S. department Of
labor, did in Elizabethton.
The National Textile Workers
Union will send another delegation
to the Mills mill to expose the
treachery of the U. T. W.
Meanwhile, the strike is reported
spreading. About 1900 workers at
the Wareshoals Manufacturing Co.
mills at Wareshoals near Greenville
walked out today. This is their sec
ond strike. The first strike in March
was won, but the employers broke
their promise that they would re-
woke the "stretchout" system.
A young married striker, Ledford,
ran around through the large crowd
at the mass meeting of strikers in
Gastonia yesterday evening until he
found members of the relief commit
tee of the Workers International Re-
lief. His wife was expecting a baby
within few hours, and the doctor
demanded $40 before he would take
the case. The relief committee hur-
riedly conferred, and gave the last
money it had on hand. The commit
tee also gave absorbent cotton, rub
bing alcohol, soap and baby powder,
none of which the strikers alone
would have been able to provide.
The bedford family was evicted
some time ago, and had been living
in the overcrowded union boarding
house.
Need $500 for Shoes.
The w. l. R. committee here is
negotiating with shoemakers to re-
pair hundred pairs of shoes, and
needs 500 Immediately to cover the
cost. The shoes are second hand,
donated by other workers and have
holes in soles, heels and guards.
The H. H. Mills family was evict-
ed in Bessemer City last Thursday.
Mills is an active striker, and now
is blacklisted everywhere. 1t is i'm
possible to rent a house for them,
as the boss has bought up all avail
able houses to victimize the strikers.
The few pieces of furniture Mills
has all stands on Main st.
Threaten Chain Gang.
Mills has received notice from the
police that his furniture must be
removed from Main St., by noon to-
day, or he will be arrested as a
vagrant and given sentence on the
chain gang. The employers are de-
termined to run the Mills family out
of town. Four other active union
members in Bessemer City have been
blacklisted and are being evicted.
They face the same problems as
the Mills family.
One child of the Fowler family,
years old, in Bessemer City has
bad case of pellagra and needs a
doctor. The treatment costs too
much for the w. 1. r. to pay for it
at present. Other bad cases of i'll
ness are developing.
