By MAX BEDACHT.


THE role of workers cooperatives in the class
struggle was formulated by Lenin as fol-
lows;
/. Proletarian co-operatives improve the po-
sition of the working class because they re-
duce the measure of exploitation of the masses
by the many commercial middlemen; they IN
fluence the working conditions in the establish
ment producing for the cooperatves; they I'M
prove the conditions of the clerks and statesmen
in their Owl establishment.
2. Proletarian cooperatives improve the po
sition of the working class by supporting the
workers in case of strikes, lockouts, political
prosecutions, etc.
5. Communists in cooperatiyes must inces-
sanity support the idea of the class struggle
among the members of the cooperatives. They
must cause the closest working together OF
the cooperatives with all the other forms Of
organizations of the labor movement, with the
revolutionary working class Party (CommU-
nist) and with the revolutionary trade unions.
This is the program of the Communists in
the co-operatives. The fight against the Com
munfsts in the co-operatives is a fight against
this program. The fight against the Com
munists can have only one objective to main-s
tain the co-operatves as mere commercial in
situations and not as proletaran instruments
of the class struggle.
Co-operatives based on mere commercial
principles can not result in any benefit what
ever for its members They can result in bene-
fits only for the bureaucracy of the co-opera-
tives and for the capitalist concerns from whom
they buy their goods.
Glass Struggle.
The masses of the workers and poor farm
ers that have organized the co-operatives have
done so because they clearly recognize the need
of these organizations in the class struggle.
They have organized the co-operatives to unite
the workers and poor farmers. also as con-
sumers, for the struggle against the capital
list class. But this unity can be of value only
if it is unity on the basis of a class struggle
program for the co-operatives. Otherwise the
unity merely supplies an organized boly of
customers for stores, called co-operatives, which
in reality are nothing but pure and simple
business institutions.
They Must Follow A Class Line
The class struggle takes place across def
mite dividine line of interests with the ex-
ploiters on the one side and the exploited on
the other 1t must be the ,endeavor of every
class-conscious worker to organize workers
and to cement the alliance between the work
ers and the poor farmers on the working class
side Of this dividing line.
The revolutionary unitv of any workers or
g8ni7at'on n'ust keep this dividing line def
ini+ely in ni"d. 1t must understand that the
unity IS IF value only if it is effected end main
tairad ev"'''sivelv on the working class side
of ia dividir" line of the class struggle
V-hArove~ efforts are mpda 10 establish or
main+ein univ across the dividing line. com
promises must be made which can only benefit
the canitalist enemy.

b. d. ANiIS.

IMMEDIATELY after the Civil War the Ne
gro toiers were given bourgeois democratic
rights by the 18th, 14th and 18th amendments
to the United States constitution. This enact
ment gave the former slaves full suffrage and
the right to hold parliamentary office For
the first time, the Negro workers ,were given
equal rights; they became the allies of the
Northern industrial capitalists
But this free lom did not last long. The
Northern industrial bourgeoisie, intent in their
purposes to crush the Southern shareholders,
so they could proceed, unhampered to gain
state power for the free development of capt.
talism and to establish the rule of the indus
trial bourgeosie, soon deserted the Negro work
ers. Friendly relations were established be-
tween the Northern and the Southern bour-
geoisie and the propertyless Negro toilers who
had been granted equal rights ha them taken
away and were forced to return to their former
slave masters, who reduced them to the state
of semi-slavery This was accomplished in the
name of the great republican party" "the
party Of Lincoln" the "Emancipator."
Organizations Crush Negro Toilers
Obviously there arose in the South various
organizations which attempted to perpetuate
the traditional conditions of the master and
slave. Such were the Ku KluX Khan and the
democratic party under the leadership of the
dastardly reactionary politicians.
With an unwritten agreement, the two ma or
political parties, simultaneously pursued
parallel courses leading to the same goal, the
development of industrial capital through the
appropriation of the Negro toilers and
white workers. To assure success of the free
development of industrial capital and the rule
OF the bourgeoisie and to attempt to perpetuate
the exploitation of the entire working class,
it was evident that all attempts at organiza-
ton among the Negro workers and white
workers must be prevented, must be rendered
difficult. Consequently willy an careful plan
of poisonous propaganda was put in motion
This propaganda was to spread hatred in its
most bitter forms among the Negro and white
workers.
The two major political parties are not con-
cerned about the conditions of the workers.
but about making greater profits for their
bosses. The politicians of the republican and
democratic parties are the true lackeys of
"Gerard's Ga parasites" They must legisate
to protect their bosses who are interested only
in making more and more profits.
These lackeys have betrayed the Negro work
ers time and time again. They have endorsed
lynchings, segregation, disfranchisement mob
terrorism and all forms of persecution against
the Negro toilers Whenever the Negro work
ers became dissatisfied and began to talk of re-
bellug these "pot-cking" agents appeased
their irrtated feelings by selecting the most
despcable lackey among the Negro petty
bourgeoisie and placing him in some semi
official position.
The demands and grievances. in 50 far a. the
workers are concerned, have only been grante

to the extent of quoting the rising spirit of
revolt in the masses and endeavoring to cause
them to forget their miserable plight and ex-
ploitation.
In this manner, the Negro workers have been
the football of bourgeois politicians
Socialist Party.
The socialist party, a worthy contemporary
of the other two bourgeois democratic organ
izations, cloaked in deceptive progressive
phrases, has not platform for the Negro
workers. Its leadership endorses the brutal
crushing of spirit and beatings of workers who
fight for workers demands The leadership
OF the socialist party consists of those right
wing elements that support finance capital
Inc lett-wlng, the more radical group, split
away over ten years ago and formed what is
now the Communist Party of America.
Communist Party and Negro Workers
The Communist Party election platform ex-
poses the misleaders of labor in the American
Federation of Labor, the Socialist Party and
other parties In fact, it pulls the cover off
the entire capitalist system showing that
new war is in the making and that the inn
perlahst powers are attempting to attack the
Soviet Union. The platform demands imme-
date and adequate unemployment relief and
introduces an unemployment insurance bill for
the workers, the funds for which to be
supplied from the surplus profits of the bosses
1t advocates the building of revolutionary
trade unions AMI wages fight for the repeal
of all criminal syndcalist, anarchist and sedi-
ton laws. The platform states that "anti-
Negro laws are the most vicious anti-labor
laws" and ito stop lynching the rule of the
white bourgeosie must be ended"
The Communist Party demands the right of
self-determnation for the Negro masses
where the Negroes are the majority.
The struggle against race discrimination
against lynching and against persecution of
every description must be the concern of the
entire working class Of the United States AS
long the bosses succeed in pitting white
workers against black workers. it will be i'm
possible to pit the whole working class against
the capitalist class. Support of any form of
race prejudice, therefore, is anti-labor AMI is
support of capitalism itself
The Communist Party is the best political
fighter for the Negro workers. 1t demands
and fights for complete social and political
equality for the Negro toiers. The Negro
workers and farmers must support the Party
of their class. They must support the candi-
dates of the Communist Party. Negro work
ers and farmers. In the South and North,

So They "Study" Unemploy-

Roosevelt to pretend he is doing something

that no money can be appropriated, so the UNI

A Restful Trip

The following is a testimonial received of
the amazing good one receives from nice,
quiet vacation in the Adirondack mountains
of Northern New York State. 1t is not copy
righted in any language, not even the Scan
dinavian:
II received job as camp artist at Indian
Head Camp, through an acquaintance who
went under the title of Camp Manager, but
who in reality was hired to get the camp
1000 reservations. When he failed to do
just that, he was fired without receiving a
penny of his salary, which was to have been
$500. | put in II hours of back-breaking
work daily doing both jobs that were called
for and uncalled for in my contract. The
staff ate food that without exception caused
bOils and indigestion. After two months of
this, was notified by the management that
due to bad business they were unable to pay
me. Lack of funds kept me from beginning
any legal procedure to get my wages,
they were well aware would so prevent me.
| was forced to hitch-hike back with only
enough money in my pocket to raise an APP
petite In conclusion, j given lift
from Hudson to New York a booze de-
livery truck. We were chased from Pough-
keepsie to Peekski!l by a gang of hi-jackers,
with plenty of bullets flying all the way. In
all this time not state trooper showed
up on the road. This marked finis to what
the advertisements call quiet, healthy trip

We only wish to add for the contributors
information, that the state troopers were all
busy that day helping the American Legion

A Sad Case
BY JORGE

The N. Y, Post last Friday took lot of
space in its editorial column to pointing out
the terrible misery inflicted by the economic
crisis. (By the way you never see capitalist
papers using that word "crisis"D The sor-
rowful tale did not, Of course, tell about the
desperate hunger of the workers, since to
capitalist papers workers are not people.
The people are those who buy cars, play
golf and so to the mountains for vacation,
Just like the movies, in which all real people
wear evening dress and have no visible means
of support. Anyhow, the Post gives us the
following touching instance of poverty:
"a business man in a train to Atlantic
City remarked to>a friend that he had
planned 10 go to Europe this year, but had
decided to stay at home because the stock
market slump had left him 100000 poorer
than he was twelve months ago"
We are overwhelmed with pity. To think
that while the jobess workers have only to
do without eating, while the poor millionairss
are actually deprived of trip to Europe. But
the Post tells US there is yet hope. 1t APP
proves at length of Hoovers idea of reducing
the income tax so the poverty-stricken capt.
talists can hope for better days.
! tell you, if it weren't for Hoover, the
down-trodden multi-millionaires would be per-
ishing right at the wheel of the Rolls-Royce
or wasting away at the golf course.

News Values

A capitalist papers idea of what news
should be featured
A hungry war veteran jobless and penn-
less tries to commit suicide by jumping from
a building. Broke his legs to splnters and
has internal injuries. Taken to a hospital.
He gets ten lines on an inside page
Morgan's yacht which cost $3,000,000, goes
aground off the Maine coast, and after twelve
hours is taken off by tugs without serious
damage. This gets 40 lines on the front page
with a double column headline.
Well, the rest of the hungry war veterans
can rejoice that Morgans yacht was saved.
1t would have broken their hearts to hear that
it was lost, according to the estimation of the
capitalist press.
How's this? The republicans say that the
democrats have been "slandering Hoover" We
can't imagine what the democrats or anyone
might say that could possibly be a Islander
against such a person as Hoover.
Let's seei 1t wasn't so long ago that
Hoover said that Russia is an economic
vacuum" Maybe he meant a vacuum cleaner.

Stable Governments

Oh, yes! Argentina and Brazil not so long
ago declared that they wouldn't recognize the
Soviet Government because it wasn't "a stable
government"
Armies over which the government of Brazil
has no control have been marching around its
map for two years
And the other day the Argentine Minister
of War ordered sailors from three warships
ashore for action against the army, supposed
to be attacking Buenos Aires, only to be told
to march them back again by the Minister of
the Interior since if the army really was
marching on Ruenos Aires it was merely to
kill the president who is barricaded in his
palace.
Really it seems that the Kremlin might be
sociabe enough to send some red marines and
establish little proetarian order in the
stable" countries of capitalism.
