How Liberalism Unites with
Assassins Against Soviet Union

long ago V. l. Lenin analysed the relation
of petty bourgeois slogans of freedom" to
the proletarian revolution, exposing their use
as instruments of the most brutal attack
against the working class We witness another
example of this in the present day enthusiasm
of the liberals for Mr.. Victor Chernov, one of
imperialism's tools against the Soviet Union.
Who is Mr. Chernov? He is a member of
the Central Committee of the Social-Revolu-
tionary Party which has carried on CAM
paign of individual assassination against the
leaders of the Soviet Union since 1918. Mr..
Chernov was himself chairman of what
called the Committee Of the Constituent As
sembly' which carried on civil on the
Volga and in the Urals against the Soviet
Power through the fundamentally of the
Czecho- Slovak troops. His colleagues, Tschaik-
ovsky, was president of the so-called govern
ment' in Archangel which was set up and sup
ported by the bayonets and machine guns of
British and American troops. Mr.. Chernov
participated in the assassination campaign in
which Volodarsky and Uritsky, two of the most
loved and trusted leaders of the Russian work.
ing class were killed, and Lenin was severely
wounded. The WE'LL known Trial of the Social
Revolutionaries in Moscow in 1925, fully re-
vealed and established these and thousands of
other facts along the same lines.
Of course it was no accident that these red
handed murderers found their defenders pre-
cisely among those who cry loudest against
the violence" of Bolshevism, and that the
"pacifist' gentlemen, Kurt Resented and Van
dervelde, leaders of the Second International,
should be the attorneys of the defense" of
the assassins. These gentlemen believe firmly
in the fright" of freedom of all violent acts
against the Soviet Union.
Now Mr.. Chernov is in the United States,
gathering money and "moral" support to con-
tinue his struggle against the Soviet Union.
And the workers who know him and his past
exploits have denounced him in his own meet
ings. Mr.. Chernov's socialist" aids immedi-

FIGHT UNDERESTIMATION
OF SHOP PAPER WORK

toned by single reporter although the head
of every leading department spoke. In the
recruiting drive, shop papers also have their
quota, but in reporting on the drive, the speak
er did not mention one word about them. OF
course, the showing in reaching the quota in
New York is absolutely ridiculous, but that
is not the reason the comrade neglected to
mention it, for he did not hesitate to point out
other important and glaring shortcomings. 1t
was simply part of the general attitude toward
shop paper work. The Agitprop Director, who
spoke afterwards, should in this era of col
lective leadership, have remedied the situation,
since he is in charge of developing the shop
paper work in the District. Again not word
And how do matters stand in the Central
Committee on this question? There has been
practically centralized direction on shop
paper work in the history of the Party. The
present leadership really intends to improve
this situation and started the formation of
national shop paper committee composed of
comrades experienced in this phase of Party
activity. A memo for a general plan of work
was drawn up at their request and presented
during the first week of December The plan
was tentatively accepted and nesting of the
new committee was to be held three days later.
1t is almost two months later and no meeting
has been held, not because it was forgotten,
lof attention was frequently called 10 the de-
lay. The work is getting along as best it
can. When the Agitprop Department, which
has charge of the work, did not seem to move,
it was attempted to set up revolutionary COM
petition, and the Organization Department was
appealed to, for it also must function in con-
nection with this work In vain. The same i'm
mobility and delay. Both departments, we
know, are frequently busy. Is that an ex-
cuse for utterly neglecting an important mass
activity? The comrades are over-busy, but they
must have sense of proportion, and surely
the more backward certain phase of work is,
the more important it is that it be gotten under
way
Must Know Shop Paper Functions.
Is it any wonder that the rank and file COM
rades don't even know what a shop paper is
and how it functions in the shop? Is it any
wonder that they don't realize the future po-
tentialities of this weapon of the working class
that it will soon become the focus and rally
ing point of all our work in the factories,
which by its very nature is necessarily illegal?
This situation is clearly a remnant of the
former right leadership. But it is big REM
nant and requires immediate eradication. The
right danger is still rampant in our Party,
and the underestimation of shop paper work
clear symptom of it.

National Miners Union and we are preparing
to defend ourselves under any circumstances.
Threats have even come in that they are going
to destroy our relief and defense headquarters,
the local union hall at Livingston, Illinois, was
bombed and every window shattered. The re-
peating of the attacks against the Ludlow and
Panther Creek miners are soon to be the order
of the day.
The miners are beginning to see why the
state forces are so militant in their attempts
to smash the strike. The challenge of the
Illinois miners to the Hoover truce with the
fake A. F. of L., is most damaging to their
conspiracy of further ersaving the miners and
the workers Of this country. The miners under
the leadership of the NMU are fighting against
the ever worsening conditions, the cutting of
wages and lengthening of hours. The program
of naturalization at the expense of the miners
and for greater profits of the coal operators
is being miltantly fought by miners.
The present struggle is a great victory for
the miners of Illinois. 1t has taught them
the purpose and functions of theobosses gov
eminent, it has proven the allying of the U. M.
w. A. officials with the coal operators, it has
exposed the fake I.W.W. and substantiated the
incorrectness of the Music outfits policies As
a whole the miners are going through strug-
gle which is one of a series of struggles that
will establish the fighting, revolutionary NMU.
With all these lessons and obstacles cleared
the miners continue much less confused. The
sharper the struggle of the miners the clearer
the class distinction becomes More and more
miners begin to realize the role of the Comnlu-
mist Party as the leader of their struggles.

great work in the defense Of the coal miners.

ately called in the police to silence these EN-
barrasng interrupters. These workers had their
fright" to "free speech" violently taken away
from them, because it interferred with Mr..
Chernovs fright" to freely organize his vio-
lence against the Soviet Union
And thereupon there rushed to the aid of
Mr.. Chernov none other than the Civil Liberties
Union in the person of Mr.. Clinton j. Taft to
protest against the workers. because they de-
nounced Mr.. Chernov. According to Mr.. Taft,
the workers were unfair and unAmerican" in
refusing to sit quietly while Mr.. Chernov car
ried on his campaign in preparation for re-
newed series of assassnations in the Soviet
Union. Mr. Taft and the Civil Liberties Union
see nothing to protest against in the activities
of Mr.. Chernov and his associates, indeed they
seem to fully endorse them, but they "dis-
approve heartily" of such violations of free
speech" as these workers were guilty" of in
freely speaking their condemnation of the as
sassin Chernov.
Thus smoothly and without the flicker of
an eyelid do the liberals in the name of "free-
dom" and Opposition to violence" unite them
selves with the advocates and practitioners of
assassination of Soviet leaders, showing the
true political face behind the 'iberaP' mask
Freedom" is for the Chernovs, but not for the
workers who wish to protest against Chernov;
violence is Sanctl1led when 1t IS used against
the working class, but becomes crime when
it is used by the workers against their oppres-
sors. That is the true political face of liberal
ism. 1t is the face of imperialist oppression,
rendered only the most disgusting by its hypo-
critical mask.
The workers more and more realize that the
only freedom that means anything to them is
the freedom that comes with the overthrow
of the fraudulent democracy" of the capitalist
dictatorship, and the establishment of work.
ers' government, the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat Only by this road can freedom become
freedom for the working class, and violence
against the workers be abolished.

PIE Party today, from top to bottom, is SUI
isrins severely from an underestimation of
sus Of the most effective weapons of mass ac-
Hvity that we have-thc shop paper. This I'M
derestimatiou Is 50 general that no one comrade
or leader can be held responsible for 1.-THE
whole Party is simply soaked in it.
In giving the following examples of this
underestimation which occurred just recently,
it is not meant 10 put the blame on any of the
"transgressors'-they merely serve as the eX-
preston of the disease with which the whole
Party is afflicted, and which is decidedly
symptom of the right danger within our Party.
Show Lack of Understanding.
An incident which took place in one OF the
units a few weeks ago will serve to illustrate
the lack of understanding of this important
mass activity among the rank and file conf
rades. The subject under discussion was the
choosing of comrade to be sent by the unit
to attend the course in shop paper work to
be given at the Workers School during the
Spring term Before the comrade could be
chosen, a very detailed explanation had to be
given not only of what the course will consist
of but what the function of a shop paper is,
matters which would be A B to any COM
rade if the Party were orientated as it should
be, on the shops, and if the proper educational
work were being done in this field. When
volunteers were asked for to attend the class,
very Jealous and active comrade expressed
his wish to go because he was co-editing trade
union paper, This lack of understanding of
shop paper work is certainly not the fault of
the comrade in question: but the fault of the
Party as a whole for not having made clear
to the comrades the function and Importance
of shop papers. And when what the
situation is in the higher bodies of the Party,
this lack of appreciation is easily understand
able.
Underestimate Importance.
Let US take, for instance, the Workers School
of New York, where our future leaders and
theoreticians are being. trained. In classifying
the course for Shop Paper Editors in the
School Catalog, it was placed under the illunl-
mating heading: English, Public Speaking
and Journalism If the school itself can place
such type of important mass activity under
this head, no wonder the rank and file COM
rade from the unit gets the impression that
the course is for labor Journalists When this
was pointed out to the authorities of the school,
they stuck by their academic guns and insisted
that the classification was correct.
And if we recall the splendid general men,

will remember that shop papers were not men

Class Against Class in the
Illinois Mine Fight
BY GERRY ALLARD.


THE present struggle that the miners of H.
linois are going through is marked by the
fierce brutality and terror instgated by the
bosses and all shades of political allies. The
strike from the very first day assumed poll
tica character when the state forces, federal
authorities and county sheriffs challenged the
right of the Illinois miners to strike. In
sisting the coal operators the United Mine
Workers of America officials were deputized,
with the protection of badges" they perform
ed the role of sluggers and raiders on miners
homes.
In spite of the deportation threats, suggings,
iaings, ransacking Of homes, the miners are
determined to carry on the struggle. The lead
ers of the Illinois National Miners Union are
practically all under charges of melting to riot
State President Voyzey ard Board Member
Thompson are facing long terms in prison for
their activities. Over hundred rank and file
miners are out on bond facing the same charges,
but the coal operators are out cunning for
the leaders Of the National Mine Workers
Union.
One of the rank and filters, Bradley, is in the
Franklin County Jail now serving go days for
carrying a gun after he had been threatened
by sluggers. My home was raided. The cops

We ask the workers of the world to join in

places the workers in this country in a condi-
ton of virtual slavery.
The socialist party is another wing of the
imperialist machine, aiding the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the government to en-
slave the workers, so that they will be in no
position to resist the exploitation, war danger,
ETC.
The Music group, with its sugar coated
phrases, is another instrument used by the
bourgeoisie to mislead the workers, to dull
the edge of the class struggle
The only leadership which many workers
have already accepted and which the majority
of the working class in the U. S. will eventual
ly turn to els the Communist Party of the U.
S., and the Trade Union Unity League.
The forces of our Party at present are in
adequate to cope with these problems; it is es.
sential for our Party to develop cadre of
proletarian leaders, to increase the membership
in the Party, to build more shop and factory
nuclei, to make thees nuclei function we'll, to
issue many shop papers, etc.
While our membership is loyal and devoted,
always ready to sacrifice for the movement,
many not in position to lead the masses
in their struggles because of lack of theoretical
preparation, for lack of true feminist con-
ception of the movement
1t is for this reason that the training of
40 or so comrades coming from many parts
of the U. S. is imperative, apd allsthe districts
must use all their resources to. make this Ma
tional Training School possible
The financial question is serious one. We
all know the financial difficulties of the Ma
tional office, and cannot expect the Central
Committee to meet the expenses connected with
the school, 1t is therefore up to the Districts
to Immediately fulfill their quotas, which
not too burdensome. In every district there
are certain individuals who will contribute to-
wards education. These must be approached.
Through special affairs some money can be
collected. But it must be done at once, with
