As result of the leaflet many
workers asked each other, in re-

pany?" "Why don't we do some-
thing here about the identical on
ditions prevailing here?" And if
any worker will ask himself whether
these are decent working conditions,
and, if he realizes the truth, he will
answer "No." Our fellow-workers
in Flint are striking against these

Tarryton, Mich.
Editor Daily Worker
Today in Flint a struggle of our
fellow-workers of General Motors is
being waged against low wages and
speed-up of the conveyor, against
long hours, of which we in larry
ton are victims, too. Fifty-five
cents an hour for men and A cents
for women is scarcely living wage,
especially when many of us have
dependents. So few jobs are put
out lately that even piece-work, out
of which we are supposed to make
higher wages, does not pay.
Before, when we put out 400 jobs
or more, now we put out only 300
or less. Many of us are sent home
at two or three o'clock, so that when
pay day comes around our checks
are very small. Despite low checks,
we receive from the bosses a de-
lnand that we must pay SIS for the
Community Chest, out of which we
get not a thing but 8 lower check.

savings, left many of US with little

is lost by the bosses and we have a

coming tired, without actually drop

say, half-hour, comes along. And

SEES NEED OF SELF
CRITICISM OF ERRORS
New York.

4FCh YIN
Daily Worker,
Dear Editor,
| read the article of Comrade
Keller in the June 23rd issue oil
the Daily, and the editorial note
after it, on the question of oper
self criticism. Undoubtedly there
are many more reasons for oper
self criticism than / will give here
First, to understand the role OF
the Party, is also to understand that
the Party, in addition to leading
the working class, is also respon-
sible to the working class for its
actions. The Daily Worker, the
paper that brings to the workers
the message of Communism and the
message of its leader, the Com
munist Party, must bring out
openly to the workers the mistakes
committed by the Party so that the
workers can judge the Party as te
its seriousness and also be enabled
to follow the Party in its changes
of policy and action, not blindly
but by clearly seeing the reason for
these changes.
Another reason for being oper
in our self criticism to the working
masses is that not only should the
Party learn from its mistakes, but
also the working masses which it
is leading. Self criticism is an
achievement when the causes for
mistakes are found out and action
is taken to prevent repetition OF
these mistakes. This, no one can
deny. So why should we hide our
achievements and only save them
for ourselves? Let the working
masses know about these achieve
ments and benefit by them.
AS far as the enemies are con-
cerned, using the admittance of our
mistakes against us, let them howl.
The action that will follow the
open self criticism of the Party, not
only of the Party but also of the
working masses will prove the
value of open, fearless, Bolshevik
self criticism.
The trouble is, not that the Daily
Worker openly prints these admit
tances of our mistakes, but that
the Daily Worker is as yet not
widely read, and widely spread
among the millions of workers so
that they can follow our self
criticism, benefit by it, help us cor
rect our mistakes, and march with
US forward in the class struggle.
Build the Daily Worker mass cir
culation.
Comradely yours,
A WORKER.

PENNA. ELECTION
MEET ON SUNDAY
Communist Convention
Meets At Reading

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July o.
According to the reports coming in
from the various sections of Penn
sylvania, the Ratification Conven-
ton next Sunday in Reading will be
huge success. Besides a large
delegation from Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, the various industrial
sections of the state will have a
large delegation.
The Anthracite, where the revo-
lutionary movement is fighting for
its legality against the joint at
tacks of the coal operators, state
troopers, and the Lewis machine,
reports that so far they have as
sured about 80 delegates to the
Convention.
Pittsburgh expects 35 to 40 dele
gates at the Convention, mostly
miners. Lehigh Valley, the strong
hold of Charles Schwab, will have
a good delegation of steel and tex
tile workers. In one word, the
stronghold of social fascism will
witness real revolutionary gath
ering for the first time since many
years.
While Mr.. Maurer, the "hero"
who stopped the collection for the
Gastonia strikers, who, together
with Messrs. Lovestone and Cannon,
advocates the formation of a Labor
Party, stated that he will simply
ignore the Communist Convention,
but the Socialist Party is mobiliz-
ing its biggest guns to prevent the
workers from attending the Party
Ratification Convention. An out
door festival has been arranged by
the S. P. with Norman Thomas
Hillquit, and other big takers
scheduled as speakers.
Our Party has already several
field organizers in Reading, and is
OF course on the job to expose this
vancouver and to mobilize for the
Convention by a series of factory
gate and street corner meetings
and campaign rally on Saturday
evening, where our candidates will
speak.
All those delegates who are GO
ing to Reading by automobile or
who have room for others, or those
who did not take care of their
transportation should report imme-
diately at the District Office, 1924
Spring Garden Street, or call up
Poplar 3849, so that proper ar
engagements can be made for trans
portation. The credentials and the
donations for the campaign should
also be turned in before Saturday.

not give his real accusation. They
only said he criticized he governor,

whereupon he voiced belief N Gus

talked about being "happy to be a

Much might be excused a mau

worker still in the class struggle
ever talks like that. 1t is now ap-

that my request for pardon would

fore the bombing when a detective
from the Pacific Gas and Electric

me. He was state senator at that
time. He knows now and will al

man."
He declared that the Advisory
Board was merely tool of the gov
ernor and followed his instructions
in the matter of a pardon.
Some of those who double-crossed
Mooney, whether he realizes it now
or not, were the socialist and labor
takers who ran back and forth be-
tween him and the United Railroads

out to be mere strategy to keep the

llOuSSSllJ IeAdSs
Editor of the Daily Worker:
More exploitation of seamen in
the sunny south.
There are about so or 80 seamen
here in Houston on the beach and
all of them are hungry. There are
some world war vets amongst these
same seamen and they can not get
any ships as the slave master in
the shipping board and seamens
institute have their GOWN private
little black lists, any seamen carry
ing union I card and said slave
masters have their own stools to
find out for thsm who the union
men are. Worker sent an item to
the bosses press, and the assistant
manager got very peeved over this
slaves writing and he called on his
god and mammon also the COM
munity chest for assistance and aid
to line his own pockets with gold.
Well it came out in this morn
ings bosses press that the institute
was going to give the seamen a
treat, by giving them an outing at
Luna park. Listening in on some
OF the seamen this is some of the
things I heard: ! slept in a box car
last night, | put the bum on Taylor
and he turned me down, another
seaman, Geez don't let the town
clowns catch you or you go to Jail
and they put you on the pear farm
to hoe corn and do other farm
work for your food. The City of
Houston has big farm and it looks
like the seamen do the farm work.
1t serves some of the seamen
good lesson as they spend their
money in the seamens brothels and
when they are broke they get the

A coup is sudden change of
government by force without a
change of political power from one
class to another. A revolutionary
movement is a movement for the
overthrow of the ruling or OPP
pressing class and the conquest of
political power by the oppressed
class, the working class. A mere
coup, which does not involve the
transfer of power from one class to
another class can never be called
revolution.
