Wanted Money for Christmas

According to an alleged confession which the police claim was made by the youth and later signed by him on Saturday afternoon, several hours after he had been apprehend- ed, he wanted some money to use in buying Christmas presents for his brothers, sister and parents. He was "broke," and having been brought up in a family that made Christ
 mas a day of rejoicing and exchange of gifts, he was depressed over the

of May Day PREPARATIONS. This is shown by
the lack of emphasis placed the organiza-
ton of mass political strikes, by underestm-
ating the readiness of the masses to respond to
such strikes failure to arrange factory meet
ings (Cleveland), open resistance of the shop
nuclei to work in the shops (Chcago, Pitts
burgh, etc. failure of fractions to raise the
issue of May Day in the A. F. of L. locals,
tendencies toward legalism, open refusal to ar
range street demonstrations schenectady,

City,, tendencies to give up Union Square
without struggle, failure to hold meetings at
factory gates because police were present"
(some sections in New York;, etc.
At the same time certain "left" tendencies
manifested themselves (proposal to take Union
Square from the fascists and police by force,
similar proposals in Stamford substitution of
boasting for work, etc..
On the basis of these manifestations Of OPP
portunism in practice. it is necessary to under
take the sharpest struggle against the Right
Danger which is the main danger for the Party,
and also against all leftist tendencies which
are a serious obstacle to the isolation and de-
feat of Right elements and tendencies in the
Party.

IN Alabama, the tenant farmers and small
landowners, are subject to the uttermost
drudgery. The bankers have closed down on
them In the past the farmers could go to
the banks and borrow dribbles of cash to make
a crop of cotton on but for this year it is diff
ferent. If the farmer asks for $500 the bank
er asks, "How much did you borrow last
year" If he got $500 last year the banker
tells him he has to make out on $125 or at
most $3.50.
Imagine family of six or more who must
live on starvation food II months and then
pay most of it out to the landlords just for
little shack to live in. And besides there are
many who couldn't get that. There are some
who could not even get the fertilizer to go
under their cotton. In Alabama you must have
fertilizer or you can't grow cotton What does
that mean? Those that can't get fertilizer
can't farm. This forces them to go to the
already overcrowded industrial centers. 1t
means more than leaving the farm; it puts
them into the ranks of the unemployed, with
the 100000 other workers who tramp the
streets and highways day after day.

By STEPHEN GRAHAM.

BECAUSE of the new line which our Party,
~ under the guidance of the Communist Inter
national, is is now pursuing, see that there
are still remnants of right and 'left' devia-
tions pursued by many of our comrades-as
we'll as in districts of the Party.
The growing army of unemployed, lowering
the standard of living of workers and farmers
the ever increasing danger of an imperialst
war and foremost, the danger of an attack
upon the Soviet Union by the imperialist powers,
confronts our Party with new tasks and greater
responsibilities.
Our task in the present period IS to mob
ilize larger and larger sections of workers,
both Negro and white; men, women, youth and
working class children behind our feminist
banner-in short to win the majority of work
ers and to struggle against capitalist ration
alzation, unemployment, fascism and social
fascism, and always having in mind our OBJ
iective that is to turn the coming imperiallst
war into a civil war of the exploited against
the eXploiters.
However, it is not my purpose here to deal
with war danger, unemployment, etc. My pur-
pose here is to mention and criticize the or
panzational methods of some comrades in the
South (Which l am sure, the Party hopes, will
no longer be pursued)
For an example, we have a capable and res
ponsible comrade in Norfolk, Va, who was sent
there as a colonizer by the National Organ
ization of the Young Communist League. We
also have Negro field organizer of the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress who has been fol-
lowing the same course. The aforementioned
comrade happens to be a machinist by trade,
and it being that we had quite few connec-
tions with Negro and white workers, and a
skeleton organization in Norfolk, also a Ma
tional Railroad Workers Industrial Union in
Newport News, Va, with dozen or so Negro
members.
SO this comrade said that he can't work in
the factory and carry on organization work at
the same time. Further, this particular COM
rade made a statement that if he can't get a
job at a union scale he will not work,
The daily worker., 1930-05-19
PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION
Mistakes i'm the South

neither would he take any other job Well, he
is still without job.
Certainly, every comrade should know that
our basic Communist organization work is
conducted in factories, and it should be the
duty of every Communist organizer in the fac
tories to try to get job in any large factory
(it matters not at what Wages) and there or
ganze all the workers into our revolutionary
unions and draw the best elements into the
ranks of the Party. And anyone who believes
that he can win the masses of workers over to
our side by merely giving out leaflets once in
a while, or perhaps satisfy himself by coming
to meeting and telling the workers how pow
erful we are when united, certainly cannot be
considered a true Bolshevik.
1t is necessary to point out to these COM
rades that harbor such illusions that such is
an un-Communist and un-Leninist and un-
MarXst attitude and such an attitude and prac-
tice must be ruthlessly combatted by the entire
Party membership.
Further, there is another opportunist theory
as was adopted by the District 16 Bureau of
our Party In that particular communication
the comrades of the District Bureau, after
viewing all attacks our Party has received of
late (arrest of comrades in Atlanta, Ca, Chat
tanooga Tenn, etc), instead of coming out
and calling upon the Party units to intensity
their organizational campaigns against the
southern ruling class, by holding mass protest
meetings, street demonstrations ETC., called in
stead upon all the units (and many of the
Party units were only recently organized and
are still badly functioning), to hustle and build
an underground apparatus. The result being
that some of the weaker comrades became
frightened and either dropped out of the Party
entirely or else, were afraid to attend meetings
for fear of being exposed and locked up. These
it is necessary to still further fight against
all forms of opportunism.
1t therefore becomes necessary for us to in
tensify our organizational activity-recruit
new members for the Party League and Young
Pioneers and build the revolutionary trade
unions under the leadership of the Trade Union
Unity League.
Forward to mass Communist Party, Young
Communist League and Young Pioneers!
The daily worker., 1930-05-19

and overcome in the course of the carrying
through of the present major tasks before the
Party.
In the e-convention discussion now going
on in the press in the units and in the leading
Party committees, the experiences of the Party
in mass work-especially in the carrying
through of the March and May demonstra-
tions, must be thoroughly discussed and the
proper lessons drawn on how to overcome the
disparity between our influence and organiza-
tonal strength. All Right tendencies must be
exposed and fought.
The various campaigns election campaign,
TU.U .U.L. recruiting drive. unemployment con-
ference Daily Worker drive) must be coordin-
ated and carried through with the greatest
energy and persistence In all of these CAM
paigns the greatest attention must be given
to the shops and factories, selecting important
factories in basic industries and carrying on
daily activity there, especially endeavoring to
establish personal contact with the workers.
Committees must be established among these
workers-committees for the support of the
Communist candidates, committees for the
Daily Worker, T.U.U.L. shop committees, etc.
Our task is to drive the roots of the Party into
the hops; the various campaigns of the Party
are the means by which this task will be real
lied. Greatest attention must be given by all
District Bureaus to see that this dailv con-
centrated shop activity is carried on. This is
the way to build solid foundation for the
Party. In this way, the Party can become
mass Party capable of leading the workers
struroles, DESPITE the attacks of the police, the
offensive of the bosses and of their social fas-
cist henchmen.

Dixie and the Daily Worker
By FRED ELLIS

the speed-up, the stretch-out in the factories,
in the mines, mills and every industry. And
also the reason why the farmers can't get the
necessary cash, to make crop on. All the
bosses and the landlords want is their labor.
By exploiting US they lay up more and more
profits for themselves and family to have
swell time on. While there are around thirty
million workers and their families on starva-
ton.
The Daily Worker is the mouthpiece of our
Party and the entire working class, and it
must reach the masses of workers everywhere.
In almost every city in the South the workers
are asking for the daily, and we that have
awakened and are beginning to understand
the class struggle must get the Daily to the
masses. How can we expect to get our rights
if we don't concentrate our every effort on
building powerful Daily in the South-in fact
all over the United States. The reason
speak particularly of the South is that 1 am
southerner myself, who was textile slave
for years, and was through the Gastonia
struggle. And without the Daily we could
never have carried on the militant and revo-
lutionary struggle during the days of terror
and mob violence that ragged around Gastonia.
Just few Daily Workers are equal to mass
meeting in the South.
I am asking every comrade and class con-
scous worker to heed the distressing cry of
our working class paper, Can't you under
stand that we must have funds in New York
to be able to print it? Are you red blooded

class? Then show your solidarity by sub
