The "SoCialists" Behind the
Fish Committee

nadsky as the man who came to his shop, to-
gether with Whaen's detectives, the white
guardist continued as counsellor of the COM
mittee.
Yet, there was another party behind the
scene, together with the czarists, and that
party was trying to keep in the background.
The socialists" were there!
Matthew Woll, himself and Inspector
Lyons, head of the spy-system of the Tam
many police department, served as the con-
Meeting links between the Socialists" and the
committee.
The head of the Civic Federation, Vol, APP
peared before the committee two or three days
after spending an inspiring afternoon at the
Brevoort Hotel Ia scab place, Incidentally at
a banquet given to the editor of the biggest
Sovet-baiting (and most obscene and sala-
cious) newspaper in New York, Abe Cahan of
the Jewish Forwards There Woll sang his
praise to the editor who is daily giving advice
to the loyelorn.
VOL, too, got his advice from this sage once
or twice, whether for attacking the left wing
in the needle trades, or for attacking the Soviet
Union. This time Vol got few ''points" for
his theory on the "enslavement" of the Soviet
workers and other profoundities.
There is striking similarity between VOLTS
"ensavement" theory and the following excerpt
of an editorial in the Forwards of July %.
The organ of the socialist" party in New York
melodramatically testifies to the "fact" that
convict labor is employed in the Soviet timber
camps, and that everybody" knows it. The
socialist" paper continues:
"If Matthew VOLTS anti-Soviet protest this
time brought quick results, the fault lies
solely with the terror-system of the Soviet
government"
The Forwards contend that Soviet trade
could have been boon to the "other' countries
which are passing through a severe crisis (no
mention of capitalist crisis, of course). an
stead" the Forwards winds up:
Instead, the fight conducted by the Sow
lets against the so-called kulaks and against
workers of different ideas brought about a
situation that European and American work
ers are beginning to. fear that the cheap
save-labor OF the Soviet industries with it's
resulting competition will swell the already
large armies of unemployed"
The Forward was the original source Of
Nelson VOLTS theory Of Soviet labor Slavery"

MIR. MORRIS HILQUITT, chairman of the
HA national committee of the Socialist" party,
has protested" against the attempts to ban
Soviet products from the United States. Mr..
Morris Hilquitt would not have deserved his
reputation of foxy corporation lawyer and
Wall Street Spectator had he not come out
with his protest" For Mr. Hilquitt was try
ing to cover up the Socialist trail which is
leading directly to the doors of the Fish COM
mittee.
We know that czarist emigrees had staged
and directed the show calle1 Fish Committee
Hearings" At the first thought of the shear
ings" at New York the figure of that tender
lon- dandy, Djamgaroff, comes to your mind.
This confessed white guard spy, who COM
planned before Mr.. Fish that the Bolsheviki
were so tactless as to arrest him as soon as he
set his foot on the railway station of the city
of Rostov-on- the-Don, where he had come on
mission of the white (czarist) army, was
right at home in the offices of the department
of justice in New York.
While the representative of the Daily
Worker was barred from the sessions of the
committee, this czarist spy kept promenading
in and out of the room, cane in hand, gold
handle forward, exchanging smiles with the
secretary of the committee, or eye-winking to
a she-reporter for the prostitute press--like-
then he would whisper something to one of the
congressman, to one of the attendants, or
he would open one of the closets.
After telling his story to the committee
while on the witness stand land he was never
asked about his secret finance resources, or
about his spy-s ystem) this spy-racketeer "is-
sued" Statement" that his lob is to protect
the democratic institutions" of this coun-
try %. This Statement" was distributed
among the newspaper men by an attendant of
the department Of justice.
The czarists were openly managing the
"show" and there was no effort made on the
part of the honorable congressman to conceal
it. Right behing Messrs. Nelson of Maine and
Bachmann of West Virginia there was the
white guardist and stool-pigeon, Bernadsky,
continually telling the solons of Washington
what to ask the representatives of the Amtorg.
And even after the printer of the Whalen
documents" Wagner, had identified this Ber-

the Party at the present juncture is the tran
sition from the offensive of Socialism on sep
arate sectors of the economic front to the
attack along the whole front, both in the field
of industry and in agriculture. The Fourteenth
Party Congress was principally Party Con-
gress of industrialization. The Fifteenth Party
Congress was principally Congress of collect
ivization. 1t was preparation for the general
attack. The period proceeding the Sixteenth
Party Congress has differed from the stages
already passed through in being a period of
general offensive of socialism along the whole
front, period of intensified socialist construc-

working out a general line, but superintends
the carrying out of the line from day to day,
that the Party carries OF , determined struggle
against the deviations from the general line
and against a conciliatory attitude towards

struggle against the devistions, strengthens

d. Tasks in the Transport Service.

u. TASKS IN Ihe Transport OtINIOe'
FinalIy-the problem of transport. There IS
no need to waste many words on the enormous
Importance of the transport service for our
whole national economy. And not only for ma
tional economy 1t is a well known fact that
for the defense of the country the transport
service is of the most serious Importance. In
spite of the great Importance of the transport
service, the reconstruction of this branch of
our economics iags behind the general tempo
Of development. Is it necessary to point out
that under these circumstances we run the dan
ger of our transport service becoming weak
spot" in our national economy, hindering our
advance? Is it not time to put an end to this
state of affairs?

By ROBERT DUNN.
WORKERS in the Soviet Union are organized
F" in labor unions. They are the best organ
lied workers in the world. In Austria, not
more than so per cent of the workers are now
organized and that is the best per centage
that can be boasted of in any capitalist country.
In the Soviet Union, where, incidentally, union
membership is entirely voluntary, about SO
per cent of the workers are organized.
1t is pretty good record for backward
country" to have over II 100000 workers in
unions The A. F. of L. has less than 3,0OO 900
and only 10 per cent of the American work
ing class is organized.
Mr.. Vol and his monarchst advisors con-
tend that Soviet unions are not Gree" He
says they are worse than American company
unions, and that they are run by the workers
state. If they were -:ce "free' unions they
would be rim instead by the Civic Federation,
Grover Whalen and Matthew Woll!
Furthermore, these Soviet trade unions don't
pay per capita to the A. F. of L.! They don't
support democrats in one town and republicans
in another. They don't subscribe to insurance
sold by the Union Labor Life Insurance Co
They don't do all sorts of things Mr.. Vol
would like to have them do, including the sup.
port of capitalist government in the next
war for imperialist plumber.
All of which is just too bad-for Mr.. Vol
and his gang of Soviet baiters and hysterica
professional patriots.
But it is a very good thing for the workers
of Russia that they don't pattern their unions
after the rackets operated by Mr.. Wol. 1t
may pain him terribly but we have to report
that the Soviet labor organizations are very
different from his fourishing business union
ISM"
Here are few things about the Russian
unions that the American Trade Union Delega-
ton discovered, and | believe these reports
are confirmed by every honest worker who has
since visited Russia either as an individual or
as member Of any other delegation:
