States and Britain-against the

to utilize the London conference as
her next step-after the Kellogg
Pact-along the road to world hege-
mony.
"Of course all these selfish inter-
ests and tricky combinations make
not for peace, but war. Whatever
may be the apparent success of the
London Conference, it cannot fail to
intensity international rivalries and
to give the working masses of the
world an opportunity to compare
the sinister hypocrisy of their pres
ent rulers with the straightforward
proposals for real disarmament
made by the Soviet envoy, Acting
Foreign Minister Litvinoff, at
Geneva.
Commenting on the report that
the Soviet Government had sent two

they were sent in for repairs after
leaving Naples on their original

boss for a small section of laborers
who boasts that no worker will loiter
during working hours. He also uses
fine language on workers: Come on,
you bastardsl Get to work! There
are plenty of men waiting for your
job outside at the gates if you don't
want to work" His brother, Harry,
is no way better. He says no Hunk

Woodward.
There were 106 delegates present
representing about so workers or
CARNATIONS. Of these there were
six A. F of l.. locals and the Auto
Workers Union. Most of the A. F.
of L. locals were of the building
trades, which manifests the intense
unemployment that has hit these
workers.
In many of the building trades
locals there was an open fight
against the officials by the rank
and file, because of the attempts to
hinder the election of delegates. In
one Of the carpenters locals the la
Dor takers stated to the committee
Of the unemployed council that there
was mo unemployment in the city,"

The conference was enthusiastic
in supporting the program of the
Trade Union Unity League for So
cial Insurance and for the cuts and
speed-up and for unemployed insur-
ance.
An executive committee of 25 was
elected consisting of delegates of
the various trade unions and other

Crisis Sharpens Polish Class Struggles

WARSAW, Poland (By Inprecorr
Mail Service) Along with a grow
ing economic crisis, intensifying fas-
cist reaction, ever-increasing dis
content Of the working masses in
town and country and feverish prep
arations on the part Of fascism for
war on the Soviet Union, there is
taking place in Poland an ever
greater concentration of the COM
bined forces Of fascism and social
fascisni. This is expressed with
particular clearness in the fact that
the task Of forming a new fascist
government in Poland was entrusted
to Professor Barthel.
This fight is assuming still
sharper forms in the West Ukraine
and in White Russia. The strike of

of such "hot-headed" type that the
least minor disobedience a worker
shows to him, he Immediately has
him removed from his job.
Now a few words on the smaller
departmental STRAW" bosses and
working conditions.
The electric furnace boss, Jack
Heller, sleeps all night and the night
express is running around to find
him. When he wakes him up, he goes
to the workers and raises hell with
them. Another responsible "straw"
foreman is George Speak who boasts
of rushing to workers and when
they refuse to obey, he fires them.
He is supported by Mr. Kilmer.
At the selenium plant, the work
ers work twelve hours at a stretch
and in gaseous places. At the silver
plant, they work ten hours and whea
the boss comes around everybody
must stand, because the despot must
be respected and feared.

League will organize the workers of

Another item of interest was

Meanwhile, German dispatches

Moscow reports quote the official

on the Naval Conference of the big
Iimperialists as follows:

"To begin with, all Of them are
rather trying to serve their own

ItBritain is forced by circum-
stances to make naval concessions
to her principal rival, the United
States, but hopes to utilize the said
concessions to obtain a correspond
ing reduction of forces from her
secondary rival, France. At the
same time, Britain is willing to play
the French game in Frances rivalry
with Italy so as to give herself some
sort of counter-poise to the weight
of America.
"Italy's policy clearly consists in
advancing her pretensions toward
naval parity with France, in order
to obtain colonial expansion at
French expense or more favorable
conditions for her nationals in the
French colonies.

1t is to back the struggles for
more world markets in the deepen
ing world economic crisis that the
capitalists representatives at London
insist on greater naval war arma-
ments.
What i the present situation of
the crisis in the United States?
In spite of the Hoover, Green,
Lamont, Barnes propaganda about
sterilization" "early revival" the
facts show worsening of the crisis
and that it will continue in even a
severer form. The latest report Of
the Department of Commerce says:
Detroit factory employment,
indicative of conditions in the au-
tomot; lie industry, was somewhat
lower than a year ago. (Their
somewhat" is illustrated by the
fact that Ford alone fired $4,000
of his workers, and recently laid
off 5000 more.) Freight car
loadings were lower than in the
corresr" ~ding weeks of Deem
Der, 1928. The volume of build
ing contracts awarded was lower
than in the corresponding period
of the preceding year. Operations
in steel plants were on a much
lower level than in the preceding
month, and showed a decline also
from December, 1928 Cat least 25
per cent decline y"
Answering the fake propaganda
of the Hoover, Green, Lamont type.
the Financial Chronicle January 49,
calls on the bosses to acknowledge
the severity the crisis acknowledge
it by more drastic wage cuts, etc..
They say: "There need be no dis
guising the fact that trade the cOun-
try over is not in a satisfactory
state"
Another mouthpiece of the big
berates the Hoover policy
of trying to spread the illusion that
capitalism in the U. S. is fundamen-
tally sound (smacks very much of
Lovestone's proclamation). The All
nalist (Dec. ~ says there is "the
grolving discrepancy betWeen BUSH
ness facts as reported from day to
day in the press and the faint and
quite ansubstantidted optimism en-
pressed in perfunctory statements
from the presidents committee"
Mass unemployment is growing all
over the United States. There is not
o single instance where anly large
section of the workers has not been
hit by drastic unemployment. The
reports from capitalist sources from
month to month, day to day, report
more and more jobless. While the
State Department of Labor reports
3 per cent decline in employment foy
December, the Bureau of Business
Research of the Ohio State Univer-
sity report a 6 per cent decline in
employment for Ohio. The workers
must keep in mind that these reports
are made by the bosses who are try
ing to keep back the facts of the
acute, mass, devastating unemploy-
ment all over the country.

Today Is Anniversary
of Death of Lenin

revolution of the workers and peas
ants of Russia and established the
first workers government in his
tory. Lenin was the strategist and
tactician of the world revolution,
the herald of a CLASHES society that
can be achieved only through the
dictatorship of the proletariat.
Ever since his student days in
tsarist Russia, Lenin had thrown in
his lot with the downtrodden. Fol
lowing the revolution tradition of
his brother who had been hanged
for an attempt against the life OF
Tsar Alexander III, Lenin became
professional revolutionist. STEPPED
in the teachings of Marx and En-
gels, the founders of scientific So
cialism, Lenin devoted every ounce
of his energy towards building a
Marxist party in Russia towards
deepening and extending the revo-
lutionary movement and organizing
the working class for tn final ov-
erthrow of capitalism.
During the last imperialist war,
when the former leaders of the
working class drove it to slaughter
one another, Lenin took up the strug-
gle against the socialist betrayers
of the workers and against the i'm
perialist war.
He called upon the working class
to turn the imperialist war into q
civil war against the capitalist OPP
pressors, and modified the revolu-
tionary forces in the various coun-
tries for the organization of new
Communist, international. Lenin
taught the working class of the
world the necessity Of building a
powerful revolutionary party of its
own; he explained the role of this
party in all their struggles, and de-
veloped its strategy and tactics to
high degree.
The leader of the Russian Revolu-
ton, the builder of socialism and the
teacher of the exploited all over the
world, Lenin was not only the great
est Marxist since Marx and Engels,
but the inspiration of all the OPP
pressed, even in his death. Leninism
is Marxism in the period of imper-
ialism; it is the application of
Marks teachings to the era of de-
clining capitalism. Lenin is dead, but
Leninism lives in theory and prac-
tice; Lenin's work lives in the Rus
sian Revolution and the Communist
International. His teachings, car
ried on by the Communist Parties of
the world, will continue to be the
guide of world revolution. January
Fl, the day of Lenin's death, will
become a part of the revolutionary
calendar of the entire working class
Of America. What he has taught the
working class of the world will not
be lost to the workers and poor farm
ers of America. Build the party of

Ukrainia, and also the separate
strike movements and the fight of
the peasants of White Russia
against the taxes show that the ac-
tivity of the working and peasant
masses in the territories in the pos
session Of Polish fascism has con-
siderably increased.
Powerful workers demonstration,
undr tn leadership of the C.P. pf
Poland, recently took place in the
streets Of the Polish, Ukrainian and
White Russian towns. These demon
strations were distinguished by
their fighting character. On De-
cember !, meetings and demonstra-
