Workers Camps
By Fl. B.


ONE of the great shortcomings of the genu
inc workers camps has been that they were
organized by foreign born workers, conduct
their activities in foreign language and have
made little no appeal to native American
workers.
Two years ago a group of New York work
ers organized new workers cooperative
came Camp Wocolona and established it at
Monroe in the Ramapo Hills, only fifty miles
from New York.
Those who look upon summer camp as a
place where they can run away from the
struggle, where they can declare a truce with
capitalism and bask in the pleasures of bour-
geois life will be disappointed if they come
to Camp Wocolona. Yes, there are beautiful
sunsets, there is Walton Lake stretching one
and half miles across, but even these natural
beauties are made different by the spirit of
the place. And the activities of Camp
Wccoona, whether cultural or political, are
definitely of workingclass character.
Last year Camp Wocolona contributed $500
to various. workingclass campaigns such as
Gastonia, the Daily Worker, the International
Labor Defense, ETC. In 1928, its first year, 20
new members of the Communist Party were
secured at the camp. In that year wocolona
participated actively in the Communist cleo
ton campaign and this year plans are being
made for even more intensive election activity
to embrace not only the camp, but surround
ing country.
Educational activities physical activities,
cultural-pays, musical shows, mass singing,
all n a revolutionary spirit--a militant prole-
tartan atmosphere, this is indeed weapon in
the struggle. One looks at Camp Wocolona
and our other workers cooperative camps and
looks forward into the futur

Atyldl Attack
CONtlW MeS on
". n. frontier

LONDON ops. 1.-The optim-
!atic views published by the Times
on August 6, to the effect that
normal conditions are restored and
nothing special to report" on the
Northwest frontier, are contradicted
by facts.
The Afridis are extremely active
and are attacking the Indian troops
IN the vicinity of Peshawar. At
the same time they are preparing
an attack on the military airplane
port at Risalpur. Today British
imperialists admit the situation is
serious. The leader of the Times,
on August II, calls upon the gov
eminent to institute an exact in
curry into the source of propaganda
leading the Afridi warriors for the
second time this year into the
plains of the Indus. This hint is
directed not only against the indie
pendence movement in India, but
against the Communists, and above
all against the Soviet Govern
ment. The utterances of the public
prosecutor at the Meerut trial con-
tanning many open attacks on the
Soviet Government, show how
greatly the imperialists are endeav-
oring to adduce proofs" that the
Soviet Government is responsible
for all anti-imperialist movements.
In the course of this year frequent
attempts have been made, by means
of interpretations in the house of
commons to involve the Soviet Gov
eminent in these affairs. The ac-
cusation most frequently made is
that the Soviet Government sends
revolutionary agitators to the dis
trlcts inhabited by the border
tribes.
The fact is causing great uneasi-
ness that the bombarding of the
insurgents by means of a tremen-
dous fleet of bombing airplanes is
failing to take effect any longer,
and the insurgent tribes can be no
longer forced to retreat by these
means.
This inability on the part of the
British imperialists to intimidate
the tribes on the northwest from
tier signifies an intensification of
the danger of a war against the
Soviet Union. There can be no
doubt that the propaganda for the
protection of India will contain
much more against Outside inter
ference" in order to stir up feeling
IN favor OF war against the Sow
let Union.

ARMED CLASH

Crisis Grows Worse;

is rampant throughout Latin Amer
lea, due to the worst agrarian crisis
that these countries have suffered
in their entire history.
The big national bourgeoisie of
Argentina, likned up mainly with
British Imperialism, and pressed by
the crisis and seeing the radicaliza-
ton of the masses is demanding a
STRONG government; in reality a
fascist military dictatorship. Fri
goyenism is made up of a good deal
of demagogy to attract all Of the
lower strata of the bourgeoisie, and
even some of the proletariat.
While Irigoyen carries on a policy
in the interest of the big bour-
geoisie, yet his social-demagogy
limits his field of action somewhat
in this respect. The big bourgeoisie
are pressing him for his slowness
and demanding a more brutal fas-
cist rule against particularly
severe strike wave which has arisen
in the present crisis.
In the army the officers, begin
ming with the lower ranks, are US
ually from the middle class, but as
they have become old in service, and
advance to higher grades they take
a more sympathetic attitude toward
the big bourgeoisie. For this rea-
son, the higher army officers are
in favor of faster fascist develop
ment. While the young officers
tend to follow somewhat the line of
Irigoyen's social demagogy of "pop-
ular rule" etc.
To checkmate the higher army
officials, Irigoyen is playing with
the younger military elements. He
removes the old commanders from
dangerous posts, advances the
younger elements; has instituted a
system of Spying" inside the army.

months number of economic
fights, strikes metal workers in
Sagunto and Bunol, painters and
building workers in Bilbao and the
farm laborers around Sevilla, Cor
dcba and Malaga, ETC., took place.
During the strike in Antequera
serious collisions occurred between
the workers and the police.
The revolutionary fighting spirit
of the Spanish working class was
particularly expressed in the gen.
eral strike in Seville, Granada and
Malaga. When the police murdered
a working women, this act was aa-
swered by the Seville working class
with mighty demonstrations of soli-
darity, uniting the workers of all
parties. Again collisions occurred
with the police, many arrests were
made and many injured and killed.
A number charged with rebellion
and unlawful possession of arms.
Within few days the number of
arrests reached 160.
The strikes in Granada and Ma
laga were solidarity strikes with
the strikers of Seville. Here, too, it
came to seriour clashes. Mass ar
rests were made. Now the govern
nent is thought to be strong enough
to dissolve the trade unions.
Since March 6, when the revolu-
tionary working class tried to re-
capture their folks house, in the
course of which bloody fight de-
veloped, there are continuous COLI
sions between the working class and
the police, who use machine guns.
The Berenguer government in
structed the police in Bilbao to I'M
hesitatingly fight the Communists.
Eighty-five Communists are in
prison, 80 workers are charged. In
Sevilla there are Is political pris-
oners, four to be deported. Many
had to escape.

Strikes Grow in Spain; Fight
Against COVE Grows Sharper

MADRID, Spain by MaiD The
government of General Berenguer,
which came to power under many
promises after the overthrow of
Primo de Rivera, was forced to grant
a minimum Of constitutional rights.
Even the very limited freedoms"
were sufficient to express the big
discomfort of the workers,
Students and intellectuals, sharply
the overthrow govern
ment, were arrested, the universe
ties closed down, their demonstra-
lions suppress d by armed power.
The arrival of the well-known
anti-monarchist, Professor Miguel
de Unamuno, who, prosecuted by
Primo's government, fled abroad,
was the beginning of anti-monar-
chist demonstrations in Madrid that
were brutally suppressed by the
police, Many were killed and in
jured in the collisions with the po-
lice.
The open rebellion of the students
OF Madrid and the solidarity actions
of other universities, created within
a few days such a position that the
government no longer appeared to
be master of the situation. But the
fact that this spontaneous move
ment lacked the leadership in form
of a revolutionary party was the
cause Of its failure.
In the trade union questions the
government was confronted with the
same problem. 1t was not strong
enough to entirely ban the trade
unions, it could only hinder their
freedom. Despite of limited pos
sibilities the old trade unions were
reorganized and new revolutionary
trade unions established. Thus the
Spanish proletariat could easily &C
over to the political and economical
offensive. During the last two

Indeed, the Federal Trade Com
mission admits the following:
Control of a majority of the
voting stock of % of the reported
holding companies is in the hands
of fewer than % stockholders.
This group, with an Investment of
$660,000,000 has control Of oper-
ating companies having a total
investment of something over

Every worker should understand

In chemicals, 189 companies are
controlled by II holding companies;
in steel PIT firms by rs holding

How much wealth all these "hold-
ing companies" control, may be
seen by the total in the food indus
try is $1,471 ,142,000; and in tele-
phone and telegraph, $4,433, 643, 900
Thus any worker can see how enor-
nous sums Of tens of billions of
wealth involved in production in
factories employing millions of
workers, are ruled by a mere hand
full of men, through these "holding
companies" or Investment trusts"
which are money pools, run by big
bankers whom Gerard called the
most powerful of the SO rulers of
America.
With this picture of the dictator
ship of capitalists, all the anxious
"denials" of the capitalist press can
be seen to be hot air. With this
picture of how the capitalist die
tatorship is operating, workers can
see that the wage cuts, unemploy-
ment and speed-ups are for the in
terests of the few at the cost of
the whole working class.

S. P. EXPOSED AS
WORKERS ENEMY
S. P. Attacks Workers
Insurance Bill

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2S.--The
second issue of the Socialist Cam
paigner," which is the weekly cleo
ton campaign sheet of the socialist
party of Milwaukee, is now off the
press. This yellow sheet shows
clearly that the socialist party is
the party of the petty bourgeoisie,
the socialist-fascist party which
tries to fool and demoralize the
workers and to keep them from rev.
dictionary struggle. The socialist
party, with its radical phrases, is
the best agent of the bosses and the
most treacherous enemy of the
workers in this period of rising
class struggle.
In an article "If the workers go
down the small merchants go down
also" this sheet tries hard 20 link
the workers with the merchants,
tells the merchant that their strug-
gle is the struggle of the workers
and finally makes its main bid to
the merchants, the petty-bourgeoisie
and against the workers. And in
the platform of the socialist party,
published in this issue, there ap-
pears the statement that the pres
ent crisis is Threatening the bust
ness interests ~ of the nation with
destruction" The socialist party
knows that it cannot effectively be-
tray the working class without get
ting the support of the capitalists,
who are willing to help the socialist
party in every way.
Of course the paper has a vicious
article attacking the Communists
and speaking of that notorious i'm
perialist plunderer and war maker,
Elihu Root, as a LEARNED states
man."
And on top of the first page the
Socialists" who are trying to
throttle the real struggle of the I'M
employed for work or wages and to
support the Workers Social Insur-
ance Bill by offering the unem-
p,oyed workers few crumbs, says:
"The unemployed at least have the
leisure O. to figure out how to en-
ploy their votes to the best advan-
tage next call."
Yes, the unemployed (and the
employed) workers will know how to
vote next fall. Not for the social
fascists, who, under the leadership
of socialist" Mayor Hoan, beat up
and arrested the leaders of the
March 6 unemployment demonstra-
ton for work or wages, but for the
Communist Party, that fights for
the interests of the workers, For the
7-hour day, against speed-up and
wage-cuts, for the release of class
war prisoners, for equality of the
Negro masses, against capitalist
wars, for the defense of the Soviet
Union, against the capitalist gov
eminent and the treacherous $50
cialist" agents and for a workers
and farmers government.
