Characterizing the raid of the

Office of the Communist Party
Of the U. S. A. as similar to the

Beal and Clarence Miller, two of
the strike leaders who the textile
bosses are now trying to send to

have sent the following denunci-
alton of the right opposition:
Just heard of the latest out
rage of Lovestone opposition"
the workers state, ''in raiding
Party center in manner similar
to capitalist police. The attack
of this right opposition, together
with Cannon-Trotsky group, Mr..
Lore and liberals, against the
working class line of our defense
in Gastonia case is strike break
ing and helping to electrOcute us.
There can be no doubt now
that this same opposition will try
to block the progress of the T.
U. U. c. at Cleveland.
There is but one manner in
which to deal with traitors and
burglars. The whole Party and
class conscious workers must
stand up unitedly against the
Loyestone opposition and for the
Party, for the building of the
Red International of Trade Un-
ions in this country and for our
defense to save our lives from
the hands of the executioner.
This latest outrage must be
the dying gasp of the Lovestone
opposition.
