Of the census said he did not think it

The commerce committee, which
heard Mr.. Steuart's testimony yester-
day, regarding the census bill. met in
executive session today and voted to
report favorably the census and reap
portionment bills as one measure. 1t
Is expected an effort will be made to
take up the combined bill In the Senate

AS reported from the committee, the
bill provides for taking the census In
November OF this year, instead of in

was introduced Thursday by Senator
Vandenberg, providing for an automatic

Senator Vandenberg said he regarded
the question of the number of voters
and non-voters in the District as one
of the basic facts to be ascertained in
arriving at a solution of the problem
He indicated that his poSition was
that of seeking full information on the

The Census Bureau will be requested
to include in the 1880 count Of the
population of Washington a report
showing how many persons In the Dis
trict of Columbia vote in some States
and how many have no vote anywhere.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan, and q member of the Senate
District committee, announced today
that he would ask the Census Bureau
to gather this additional information
while the 1880 census is being taken
because he believes exact information
on this point is important in consider
ing the question of the disfranchised
Washington residents.
Vandenberg Questions Steuart.
Senator Vandenberg ascertained from
w. M. Steuart director of the Census
Bureau, during a hearing before the
commerce committee on thte pending
census bill, that this information con-
corning the voting status of Washing
tonians could be gathered by his bureau
under the terms of the measure now
before Congress to provide for the 1880
census.
IT am very much interested in the
District of Columbia as to the so-called
disfranchisement of the electorate"
Senator Vandenberg said while Direc-
tor Steuart was testifying before the
commerce committee Have there ever
been any figures taken to show how
many residents of the District of Co
lumbia maintain their legal voting
rights, and how many are actual resi-
dents of the District of Columbian"
Mr.. Steuart replied that he did not
think so.
Director Decides Question.
Senator Vandenberg then asked
whether such data could be collected
in connection with the taking of the
census, except by warrant of law.
Yes" Mr.. Steuart answered, cit
could be made with this new law. It

acy TO defeat justice we're made today

ward band on charges of kidnapping un-
friendly election workers.
A jury In Judge Frank Comerford's
court last night freed the group of de-

victed of a conspiracy growing out or
the orgy of sluggings and kidnapings
and the murder that marred primary
election day in 1928. Morris Eller him
self and his son, Judge Emanuel Eller.
are still under indictment on the con-
spiracy charges, having won separate
trial from their henchmen. and the ac-
quittal yesterday inspired doubt that
they would ever come to trial.
Judge Comerford himself made known
today that he is investigating sus-
pected plot by the defense to assure ac-
uuittals. One man is already in Gus

with the jury. but the Judge expressed
confidence that he failed to reach the
jury.
The courts charges were made after
a secret two-hour conference with the
IL jurors late today.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-12

Thus, for example, Comrade Love-
stone, in his "The Communist" May,
1928, article entitled, "The Labor
Movements Present Situation"
wrote under a special subtitle
blazened as, "The Crisis in the
Trade Unions" that the employers
offensive "has brought our trade
union movement to the most intense
crisis in its career" and much more
to the same effect. In the May,
1928, "The Communist" Comrade
Pepper declared, Recent articles by
Comrade Foster give a clear and
thorogoing analysis of the present
crisis in the American labor move
ment. Developments in the past few
weeks have proven the correctness
of this analysis" The Party cleo
ton platform also declares that,
"The result of the offensive of the
bosses and the treachery of the
trade union bureaucrats is THE
GROWING CRISIS IN THE LABOR
MOVEMENT"
In view Of this widespread ac-
ceptance of the theory of the decline
of the old unions, which Comrade
Bittelman never in the least chal-
lenged until January 9th, it is i'm
permissible to state that am bring

(2) THE MERGING OF SOCIAL AND BOURGEOIS
REFORMISM.

What Comrade Bittelman incor-
rectly calls Fosters theory of the
declining role of social reformism"
l put forth in most complete form
year ago in a series of articles en-
titled Capitalist Efficiency Social
ISM"
This analysis, which / shall deal
with at length later on, points out
that big capital in the recent period
has depended more upon its own
bourgeois reformist apparatus to
spread illusions directly among the
workers In it's industries than upon
the A. F. Of L., that this bourgeois
reformism has been developed into
a whole system company unions,
welfare systems, group insurance,
employee stock buying, etc.,, which
l ventured to CALL. because of its
role in naturalization and its
pseudo-revolutionary perspectives,
capitalist efficiency socialism, and
that there is a growing tendency for
social refornism to merge itself
ideologically and organizationally
with this bourgeois reformism and

Brisk Trade; Needs
More Volunteer Help

Although the Workers Interna-
tional Relief General Store, located
at 2311 Second Ave, near 10th St.,
has been opened for less than a
week, Louis A. Baum, manager, and
his staff are doing a brisk daily
trade with strikers and unemployed
workers, Baum states.
While the store aims primarily at
aiding striking workers by donating
clothing, useful articles are sold at
bargain rates for the benefit of the
Workers International Relief. "a
suit OF Clothes" Baum declares, "can
be obtained at our store for one dol
lar. Gloves, socks and overcoats are
sold at equally cheap rates.
This store, however, is hampered
by lack of assistance. Although we
reaiizt that most, of the comrades
are busy row in connection with the
needle trades strike, we urge COM
rades to help us, if only for an hour
q day, at the store. We need a car
penter and chauffeur, particularly"

It's were quickly arrested in another
place. The picket line, which ex-
tended down the block and out Of
sight around the corner, was aug
mented by hundreds to take the
place of those arrested.
Mass arrests continued Clubs
were swung freely. Tillie Lurye,
member of the Young Workers
(Communist) League, was struck in
the face with club, her nose bleed
ing profusely, her dress nearly torn
off, and her coat torn to ribbons
when she protested against brutal
treatment accorded bickets by police.
She was arrested at 21st st. and
7th Ave-, and taken with the other
pickets to the police station, where
she was charged with "helping a
legal prisoner to escape"
As the mass picket line wound its
way through the dress shop district

tween 7th and 9Th Ave-, the police
did their utmost to break up the line

number, with about one square foot
of spaces apiece. The strikers, a
large proportion Of them women,
kept up the singing to the moment
of being released at four o'clock.
In the cells strike problems were
discussed, the dressmakers told how
many new shops have joined the
ranks of the strikers, and how the
Schlesinger gang has no support ex-
cept from the bosses and the po-
lice. The role of the city govern
ment as being always at the service
of the bosses was pointed out and
many instances given by workers
who have faced capitalist "justice"
before.

Minority also endorsed it. Comrade
Blankenstein, without opposition in
our group, declared it to be the
most important theoretical contribu-
ton made to Communist analysis by
any comrade outside the Russian
Communist Party. Comrade Bittel-
man now finds himself in OPPOSE
tion to this general proposition, even
declaring that it "iquidates every
thing connected with Communism"
But during the year that this mat
ter has been before the Party, and
Comrade Bittelman says it is vitality
important, if he carried on any OPP
position to it, or made any attempt
to clear the Party up on it, it has
quite escaped my notice. Even in
the present Minority statement he
does not specifically challenge it.
The fact IS the Minority, as well
as the Majority, accepted this gen.
eral line, although both took excep-
ton to the name. It is found in our
Minority thesis, not only where we
speak cencretely Of the company
unionizing Of the trade unions" but
in a general theoretical sense where.

by the Party, and (2) that the pres
ent critical statements of the Ma
jority and Minority are attempts to
get away from this line without the
formal acknowledgment end self
criticism they must make if they be-
lieve the line wrong.
AS for the Majority, it has clearly
endorsed the theory Of capitalist Ell
ficiency socialism and included it in
the Party platform (P. 1917 and in
their present thesis. Likewise, the
