''LAW' FIXED FOR
The PARASITES
Buffalo. n. Y.

Buffalo, N. Y.
Daily Worker
One law for the worker, another
or rather no law Tor the social para
site. This was clearly proven, for
the millionth and some time, again
yesterday in a ruling handed down
by Justice" Pierce in a Buffalo
court
On May IS, Miss Mildred Nevin,
"a society spinster of 1872 Norwood
Ave, went gayly spinning in a car,
although she didn't and doesn't have
an operators license. At Delaware
and Tupper st. she struck and IA
tally injured Mrs. Mary McDer-
mott. For this she was held only
long enough to go through the for
maity Of furnishing bail. Many
days later she appeared before the
court, as a mere matter of routine,
where she was given a clean, lily
white bill of innocence in the mat
ter. The judge ordered her re-
leased from official custody and
had her bail refunded. 1t was held
that the defendant was not guilty
of manslaughter, of reckless driving
or driving without a license.
Workers caught in a similar pre-
dicament would have been heavily
fined, givensa long prison term and
the right to operate a car would
have been revoked. The right to
bail would have been refused, just
as it is refused for the horrifying
crime of unlawful assembly"
Absorb this picture of capitalist
"justice," fellow-workers, and then
ponder on the following episode.
Several months ago two or three
lads were parked (not dTiving) in
a fliver, which one of them owned.
The lad at the wheel had no opera
tors license and when some COPS
came along they began to run from
the scene. The cops, traditionalIy
known for valor in the face of over
whelming odds, Immediately opened
fire and one of the boys, aged II,
was struck in the head and instantly
killed. The abysmal brute who COM
mitted this cold-blooded murder was
later exonerated in a veritable blaze
of official glory. S. C. H.

KAMENEV CONDEMNS
FORMER FACTIONALISM
IN STATEMENT TO PRESS
Declares Full Agreement with Party Policy and
Central Committee
Urges Active Participation. in All the Struggles
of the Party

MOSCOW G.P.S).-The press
publishes a statement of Comrade
Kamenev concerning a conversation
between him and Comrade Bucharin
in 1928, referred to by Kaganovitch
in his report to the Moscow Party
conference. Kamenev admits that
Bucharin attacked the Party leader
ship in this conversation and agrees
with Kaganovitch that his (Kame-
nev's) failure to inform the Party
leadership of this conversation was
dictated by factionalism, repre-
sented a vulgar political error and
justified mistrust and watchfulness
on the part of the Party in its at
titude toward him (Kamenev). Ka-
menev then declares:
'I hardly need to say that I am
completely in agreement with the
general line Of the Party for the
building up of Socialism, with its
struggle against Trotskyism, against
the right-wing opportunist devia-
tions and against the left-wing ex-
aggerations of the Party policy. In
all these questions I share COM
pletely the opinions of the Party
leadership laid down in its various
documents. In its struggle against
us the Party has proved that it's
policy is the policy of Lenin, the
policy of the international proleta-
rian revolution. On the other hand,

their best to make the workers hos
tile against the Communists, it is
also true that the activity of the
Communist Party is convincing
ever larger sections of the workers
that only the Communist Party
stands and fights for their inter-
ests. Naturally the Communists
must know how to win the masses
and how to give them leadership.
Now although Comrade For More
Action does not seem to understand
that the working class is being
swept by a tremendous and deep
going wave of rehabilitation which
is increasing and not diminishing
he nevertheless is in hurry to
'take power first" and educate the
! masses later. The experience of the
international working class and of
past revolutions has proven that
you cannot make a revolution with
out the masses. In other words,
you cannot have a wedding without
the bride. The Communist Party
does not stand above the working
class. Its aim is to lead the work
ing class both in its immediate
struggles and in its ultimate strug-
gle to set up a Soviet government
of workers and farmers as in the
Soviet Union. 1t is only in the
course of these struggles that the
Communist Party can educate the
masses. In other words, our first
task is to educate the masses to the
necessity of fighting against the
entire capitalist system, and this
can only be done by fighting with
the masses from day to day,

which Levy was killed.
A Garveyite by the name of Grant
was the chief speaker at the Garvey
meeting. He personally helped to
beat IN the workers at the Commu-
mist meeting. He pointed out Levy
to the police, and they Immediately
set upon him like a pack of wild
iackals, battering his body with
clubs and blackjacks. The doctor
w,.o reported the death of Levy said
that he had been beaten in the stom-
ach with clubs and was bleeding in
ternally. Levy also had a fractured
skull
After this combined attack of the
Garvey officials and the police, the
Communist workers started another
meeting on 132nd St, but the Gar
veyites and police followed and once
more broke up the meeting. Levy
was beaten on 133rd St
At an open air meeting the next
day at the same corner, one of the
Garvey leaders stated openly: eve

Member cf Unemployed Council.
Levy was leading member of
the Harlem Unemployed Council Of
the Trade Union Unity League and
a member of the Communist Party.
He had been out of work for about
nine months at the time he was
beaten and murdered. His wife
lives in Whitehall, Jamaica.
After the Garvey officials, to-
gether with the blackjacking police
succeeded in breaking up the 133rd
st. meeting, Levy was taken to the
Harlem headquarters of the Com
munist Party, where he fell uncon-
scious. Just before he lost uncon-
sciousness a second time, Levy call
ed upon the comrades and workers
of the entire city to go on with the
fight. He urged them to mobilize
for a determined struggle against
the Garvey officials who openly ally
themselves with the enemies of the

lice to club Negro and white work.

have only one wish, to go with the
Party shoulder to shoulder along
this path of Leninism under the
leadership of the Central Commit
tee, and not only to lay the foun-
dations for the building up of So
cialism, but to complete this work
in the Soviet Union. 1t has been
proved that this aim is not only
theoretically justified, but practi-
cally possible of achievement. The
difficulties in the way can best be
overcome if the Party rallies firmly
to it's leadership and fights without
conciliation against all deviations
from the general policy of the
Party" r
Kamenev then concludes: "Our
factional activity in the years 1926
1927 justified the annihilating mea-
sures taken against us by the Fif-
teenth Party Congress, and our er-
rors in 1928 justify the mistrust
and watchfulness of the Party to-
ward us since our return to its
ranks. We have no complaint to
make against our Party. 1t has
treated US justly. The path before
us is clear; by active participation
in all the struggles of the Party
we must regain that confidence in
us which has been lost by our own
fault"

One fat detective punched a girl
worker in the jaw. But that was
the last thing he did for the day.
He went down amidst a shower Of
blows from a group of workers.
He tried to pull his gun, but was
not given a chance to do it, A
group of workers threw him to the
ground and trampled on him. An
other cop chased a Iona worker
into Battery Park and started to
beat him. Several workers rushed
up on him. He turned and fled
Then he stumbled on the cobble-
stones and the workers were upon
him. He drew his gun, but put it
back again when he saw a larger
group of workers come up. Stark
terror was depicted in his face when
he saw the workers pounce on him.
He was roughly handled.
After the demonstration a check
up was taken and it was found that
four had been arrested, Rollins,
Manusky, Mary Cohen and another
worker, whose name is not known.
Two of them are charged with fell
onious assault and two with disor-
derly conduct. Many were badly
hurt.
The mass meeting at Battery
Park, just before the march, was
opened by Biedenkapp and after
short speech he introduced the first
speaker, j. Paterson of the Ameri-
can Negro Labor Congress. He
spoke of the heroic fight of the
indian masses and called upon the
workers to denounce the traitor,
Gandhi. At the end of his talk he
called upon the workers to protest
the murder of Alfred Levy, an un-
employed Negro worker, by TIE
cops and Garveyites on the night

the statement said, there was ex-
posed not only the role Of the police,
the direct agents of the bosses, but
also those elements who serve the
bosses by pretending to be champion
Of the Negro masses. Comrade Levy
was beaten to death not only by
the police but also directly by and
with the assistance of leaders of the
Garvey movement. Not daring them-9
selves to attack the anti-lynch meet-F
ing, the police called upon these
Garveyites to lead the attack. The
willingness with which these takers,
who speak of improving the condi-
tions of the Negro masses, respond
ed to this call of agents of the white
ruling class, exposes plainly the
treacherous role which this move
ment plays, in misleading the Negro
masses away from struggle against
the white ruling class, which ex-
ploits and oppresses Negro and
white workers"
Unemployed Council Says On
With Fight.
The Unemployed Council Of which
Levy was a militant and active mem
ber, issued a call to all its members
and all unemployed workers to take
part in the funeral demonstration.
"Comrade Levy" the Council stated,
''was elected as a delegate to the
National Unemployed Convention in
Chicago for July 4. His murder by
the police is a part of the brutal
campaign against the unemployed
workers which was preceded by the
terror against the March 6 Unem-
ployed Demonstration and the inn
prisonment of the New York Un-
employed Delegation, Foster, Minor,
Amter and Raymond. On with the
fight for work or wages"
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress also called upon all its mem
bers and sympathizers, both Negro
and white, to take part in mighty
demonstration funeral of Alfred
Levy. THE killing of Levy" the
Congress said in part, "is an organ
izeC part of the new wave of lynch
ing and terrorism turned loose by
the capitalist class of the South and
North against the Negro masses and
white workers"
Levy was also a member Of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,
which directly upon the news of
Levy's death, called upon all the
workers of New York to take up the
fight for which Levy died. Com

March to British Consulate.
After these speakers the chair
man called upon the workers to
march to the British consulate on
Whitehall st. When the workers
started marching the few police
present made a futile attempt to
halt them. The workers showed
them aside and continued to the

the workers were: Down with

This list of contributions proves

They make collections in the shops

Comrades:
Nothing can stop the masses on
their final march to freedom only
the lack of leadership. Which so far
has been only industrial and in pro-
paganda. Something that would
bring the whole weight of the
mighty proletariat.
In the U. S. A. the Communists
must give the people political lead
ership. They must give the people a
political whip. Then and only then
shall Communism take the leader
ship of the proletariat in this coun-
try.
Now friends you must give the
people Farmer Labor Soviet Gov
ernment in the U. S. A.
But you will say how? You must
call National Farmer Labor Con-
gress. First of all you must remem-
Der that you are dealing with hos
tile masses. You must guide your
Convention accordingly. 1t will
take a long time to educate Ameri-
can masses to Communism. You
must take power now and educate
later.
For More Action.
Editorial Note:-Comrade For
More Action rightly understands
that the American workers and
poor farmers must build up a pow
erful revolutionary leadership in the
form of the Communist Party.
But if Comrade For More Action
thinks the mater over, he will have
to admit that his ideas are some
what confused. What, for example,
does he mean by saying that the
masses are hostile? The fact is that
the bosses are throwing the work
ers out on the streets by the mil
lions; they are cutting wages left
and right; they are eXhausting the
workers with a terrific speed-up,
so that at the age of forty, the
workers can no longer be used by
the bosses, etc.
These are certainly conditions
that are making the masses hostile
but against capitalism and not
against the Communists. While it
is true that the bosses are trying

When Robertson demanded wages
