Questions and Answers

(The following is the fifth of series of
questions and ansWers on the Uorld economic
crisis, unemployment, and the tasks of the
revolutionary trade a,,,ions, issued @by the
Red international of Labor Unions.--Editor)
Question 5. What prospects does the un-
employed movement hold out for us? Is there
any reason. TO believe that the movement, will
grow and become more intensive or will there
be gradual dying down Of the movement?
The reply TO this question is closely bound
up with the answer to the second question on
the development of the economic crisis. We
came to the conclusion that the crisis was only
beginning and that it would become deeper
still and more widespread. We have every
reason to believe that the unemployed workers
movement will develop the same lines. As
the economic crisis extends throughout the
world, the army of unemployed will inevitably
grow, for increasingly larger sections of the
workers will be thrown idle to swell its ranks
The unemployed movement is not only sig
nificant, socially and politically, but in the
present stage Of the capitalist crisis, it raises
the question Of the very existence of the cap-
talst system. II is becoming clear even to
the most backward sections of the workers
that social system that dooms millions upon
millions of people to starvation--esscntiaI for
The daily worker., 1930-03-04

the very continuation of the system-must be
overthrown
1t is becoming more and more plain to the
workers at large that only a social revolution
can solve the problem of unemployment. And
this brings the workers inevitably face to face
with the problem of overthrowing the bour-
geosie and seizing the power.
If the question is raised in this fashion. it
is plain that the present movement among the
unemployed menaces the very existence of the
bourgeoise. And the bourgeosie well under
stand that for them it is question of life and
death as to who is going to control the move-
ment.
If the movement is controlled by the revolu-
tionary elements, then bourgeois domination
will be overthrown for good and all and the
workers will take over the power. If, on the
other hand, the bourgeoisie are able to divide
the unempoyel workers movement, deprive it
of Revolutionary ideology and extend their
own influence the movement, then the
capitalist system will continue for some while
longer.
Well realising their class interests, the bour-
geoisie, are consequently doing their best to
get control of the unemployed workers move
ment. In various parts of the world we see
the fascist organizations today guiding the
dissatisfaction of the unemployed in the chan
nels OF fascism and bourgeois reaction
All steps are being taken nowadays to line
up part of the unemployed in the scab and
fascist organizations, the aim being to use

new factories.
Speaking of the constitutional work our
American friend was particularly delighted
with the workers homes. These, she said, are
springing up with amazing rapidty around the
larger plants and works. To use her own
words: "Charmingly built dwellings and tene-
ment homes are springng up in every city
and around the factories-veritable model
towns for workers" These contain single
rooms for one person and flats of two and
three rooms; airy, supplied with steam-heat-
ing, electricity and bath room. There is a
communal kitchen.
The larger houses with more than 100 fam
lilies has its club consisting of Lenin Corner,
reading room, games-room (ping-pong, etc.
and Conference Hall. Our observer was handed
list of meetings that had been held here
(for the workers and their families) during
the last three months of 1929 and during JAN
uary, as follows: (D The Eastern Chinese
Railway Conflict; (2) Economic Crisis in the
United States and its repercussions in Europe;
(3) Control Figures for 1929-30; and report
by the Society down with Iiteracy' of its
work among the illiterate workers of this
house.
My inquiry about the rents brought forth
another stream of amazement and wonder
ment. How incredibly low; "rents must in
deed be almost the least of the charges that
the Russian worker must meet from his
wages" and so on. She attempted compari-
son with what the American workers have to
pay but quickly gave it up 1t worked out to

earnings.
After regaling my accustomed ears with
other of her observations-social insurance,
free medical attendance, workers evening uni
versities, rabfacs "Down with Illiteracy" cir
cles, travelling libraries that are brought direct
to the home, and so on, she left me much
enlightened and yet still much puzzled woman
as to how so much had been accomplished, so
much done for the welfare of the workers.

tremendous reconstructive work in technical

| HAVE recently had an interesting converse

worker studying industrial problems. She has
just returned to Moscow after prolonged trip

been accustomed to "high pressure production"

the other unemployed workers and all in en-
ployment.
In the meantime all the fascists, no matter
what their color, are setting the workers in
employment against the unemployed, the un-
employed against those in employment, en-
deavoring to divide the ranks of the working
class, to sow dissension and differences among
the working class keeping the workers scat
tered and divided
The danger of fascism developing in certain
sections OF the unemployed workers movement
is very serious and we must reckon with this
possibility. Hence it is vital that we struggle
with every means in our power against fas-
cism and its attempts to get control of the un-
employed movement and to use it as a weapon
to further its own policy.

Statement of B. Rsider.

Dear Comrades:
l appeal to you to take me back into the
Party. For a number of weeks | have felt
like appealing to the Party for reinstatement
1t began With the leaflet issued by the So
called opposition of Section No l" in which
they have tried to create the impression that
the leadership of the Party and the Section
No. l is incapable, and that the best proletarian
elements were expelled. Among others, they
also mention my name although some time ago
I stated that l disagree with their attacks
against the Party and the formation of an op-
position Party, and l therefore withdraw from
the group and from giving any support to
the group.
am convinced that they are conducting a
system of double bookkeeping They claim that
they are conducting struggle for correct
line, but in reality they are minimizing every
struggle of the workers led by the Communist
Party. They are demoralzing active elements,
they are discouraging members from doing
work for the Party and auxiliary organizations
an dare undermining the prestige of the Party
in mass organization. One who is very close
to the chiefs of the opposition told me that 1--WE
must not even stop before smashing the Party

only did | make political error but that I

tcipating in the opposition.

pulson from the Party for number of months

yet too late. l am now convinced that the

Order by Man Who Died Not Delivered, Plain
 tiff Alleges

Three days after Bernard Der kowitz had, it is claimed, purchased 50 shares of common stock of the Eisler Electric stock, he died and when the draft due for the amount did not reach the Commercial Trust Co. the stock was returned and the sale cancelled. His estate has brought suit for $500 against Bon- ner Brooks S5 Co.,, Inc, claiming that the stock increased in value.
 Berkowitz ordered the stock on January 22, 1880, at $16.50 and, it is claimed, it was agreed that the stock would be delivered to the Commercial Trust Co.,, where a draft would be paid. On January 25 Ber- kowitz died and on February 5 Nor ris Berkowitz was appointed admin istrator. It was on the same day that the stock was returned when the draft was not paid. The ad- ministrator claimed the bank did this without notifying the Berko- witz family. At the time the stock was selling at $20 share.
 In the complaint drawn by Attor- ney Bernard l.. Albert, the plain tiff's attorney, it is asked that the stock be returned or the financial loss satisfied.

 While preparations were made for the removal of the bodies, three separate Investigations were begun 10 determine responsibility for the crash between a Santa lre passenger train and a huge Pickwick Grey hound motor stage yesterday near Pueblo lsleta, F miles south ,t Albuquerque.
 The bus was en route from Los Angeles to Denver, with 4S occn pants, including the driver, F. B. Williams, of Albuquerque. Wit ncsses said the driver slowed down nearing the crossing, but apparent ly thought he could beat the speed ing train across. He was about one hour behind schedule, officials ot tho bus line here said.
 Midway of the tracks, witnesses said, Williams swervcd sharply in a futile attempt to avoid the acc.- dent. But the locomotive. which had slackcned it's speed somewhat on seeing the stage, plowcd into the middle of the bus. shattering it into a thousand splinters. Tho gasoline tank of the stage exploded, burning the dead and dying.
 Mrs. r. N. Olguin, an Indian woman who witnessed the tragedy, said bodies were strewn along the right of way, some decapitatcd, others armlcss and lCglcss.

Interest In Treaty

London, April 12 P)-Intcrcst of the delegations to the five power naval conference was centered pri- marily today on completing draft of q naval treaty for signing next Thursday and in departure for home.
 In no delegation was the spirit of home going so marked as with the Americans, who arc intent upon catching the Leviathan at Southamp ton April 22, even it if must be held over 4S hours so they can make it.
 With the exception of the pro- visional clause which will allow Great Britain. and ergo, America and Japan, to increase their nayies be- yond the treaty figures if cndanger- cd by the building programs of non- signatory nations, that is, France and Italy. The three power limitation agreement between Japan, America, and Great Britain was not expected to offer serious obstacle. Mere mat ters of terminology arc regarded as involved.
 Five Power Section Difficult
 The five power section of the treaty, however may be more diffi- cult. Although involving much less than the three power limitation agreement, the conflicting national viewpoints of Italy and France were expected generally to clash some what again in it's expression, result ing possibly in some delay. Both na- tions were reported today to be seek ing certain reservations hitherto un- considered.
 According to those close to the French delegation Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, in signing that part of the treaty relative to battleship holiday will reserve the right to build 10000 tons capital ships which were granted France under the Washington treaty and which thus far have not been built.
 Italy was said to desire to make 8 similar reservation with regard to S5.OO0 tons of capital ships, thus continuing the demand for parity
