BY JOSEPH NORTH.

EEUDALlSTIC tyranny, boodier than any
that weighed on the countless serfs of the
Middle Ages, operates today in industrial
Pennsylvania. The case of Salvatore Accorsi
"a year old MINER who goes on trial Decem-
Der g. for his life, is direct fruit of this
bloody tyranny. The fascists of Italy may
well come to this case and get many valuable
pointers in technique. They will see how the
helmeted state police Of Pennsylvania are on
the trail of another blood sacrifice to ensure
the profits of the secretary of the treasury,
chief stakeholder in the mines and steel plants
of Western Pennsylvania.
Before going into history of the cases that
have grown out of this abominable system it
IS well to give brief description Of the insti-
tuition Of Coal and Iron police and state
police.
State police, the helmeted horsemen whose
maces have broken many workers head,
work nominally for the state. Actually they
are at the beck and call of the big companies
Of heavy industry. Coal and Iron police or
the yellow Dogs" are responsible, openly, to
nobody but the companies which employ them.
They are armies of private gunner who get
state licenses. They are as criminal as the
bodyguard of Al Capone, and many of them
are directly recruited from the ganglands of
the big cities.
BY far the majority are professional gun
men and imported strikebreakers. Few are
local men. About 5000 of the Coal and Iron
police are now at large in Pennsylvania
majority of them in the western part Of the
state Every member of the gunner army
carries permit signed by the governor, John
S. Fisher, himself coal operator.
Before him, the liberal Governor Pinchot
faced by similar scandal, made gesture by
examining the list Of permits, and revoked
some $500 Of the 5000 because of the criminal
records of the holders. The institution of the
yellow Dogs" remained, however, untouched.
That the trail of blood let loose by these
gunner leads to MELONS door was admitted
by Senator from Montana, Burton K
Wheeler, who wrote, for political reasons, after
the murder of John Barcoski, "My thought
about this matter is that Mr. Mellon complete
ly dominates not only the Pittsburgh Coal
Company, whose policemen committed this
murder, but likewise dominates the republican
party in Pennsylvania and likewise to a large
extent the economic life of the western part of

be very consciously and very decisively COM
batted.
Recently we met with possibly the worst
manifestation of this commercialism We were
treated to Third Period Dance" Through
the columns of the Daily Worker we were in
formed that the mysterious absence of Party
members from their unit meetings will find
an explanation in the dance" In another
column of the same Daily we were informed
that while the southern textile workers are
fighting, we, in New York, have to show our
revolutionary quality by dancing at the Third
Period Dance" The ticket to the affair bears
the information that those who register at
this Third Period Dance" will be Credited
with performing a task in line with the poll
cies of the Communist Party"
The comrade who is the originator of this
brilliant idea of a "Third Period Dance" and
who supplied the above cited publicity, unques-
tionably intended to aid our Party through a
financial success of the affair This success
would have supplied the Daily Worker with
some of the necessary funds for its existence
But the comrades intentions are not decisive.
The decisive thing is that he found no diff
Guilty in STOPPING to such vulgarization of a
most serious political term as that of the third
period in order to support the appeal for finan-
cial help. The third period is for us the en-
bodiment of an epoch in the history of capital
ism in which the inherent contradictions of the
capitalist order are putting the proetarian
revolution upon the order of the day. The
vulgarization of this conception in Third
Period Dance" should be expected only from
an opponent of it. Here we have case where
the above criticized tendencies of commercial
ism have gradually killed the political iudg-
ment of the responsible comrade to a degree
that he finds no fault in subordinating poll
tics to the commercialism. Instead of raising
funds to support the political work, he uses
the political work and political terms as ex-
cuses to raise funds. This is such Grass
manifestation of opportunism, such an mex
cusable outburst of commerciaism that it
should serve as a warning to the Party. 1t
should impress the Party with the necessity
of combating every and even the slightest
manifestation of this commercalsm. 1t should
convince the Party that its political aims and
purposes are everything and all the rest of its
activities can only claim Importance in the
degree in which they tend to strengthen and
to achieve these political aims and purposes.
Wherever the political aims and purposes are
subordinated to fundamentally subordinate
questions indefensbe vulgarizations must re-
suit They weaken the Party undermine its
prestige, and tend to make it the laughing
stock instead of the leader of the workers.

On the Question of Party Dues.

Assessments will still be levied, but the con-
tnual demands for assessments for this or

these organizations a broad mass basis, tax

Party members who are in these mass organ
izations, must as members of them, also par
ticipate in the widespread distribution of these
papers, but must direct their efforts primarily
amongst the non-Party masses. While every
Party member should be encouraged to buy
all these papers and particularly to distribute
them, there should be as few mandatory deci-
sions as possible, but rather the convincing
of the members thru theological means and
thru development of interest in the papers
concerned.
4. The increased income from the new dues
system will meet a part Of the annual deficit
of the Daily Worker. The balance of this will
have to be met thru special measures. All
special funds are abolished by decision of the
Polcom in connection with the successful in
PRODUCTION of the new dues system. If the
Daily Worker will find an emergency call
necessary it will have to present its case to
the Polcom and have a decision made on the
matter. The present financial drive which
has been started, is to meet the prevailing
situation until the new dues system is put into
effect
