LECALISM HIT

Call Bakers Saturday
to Plan Action

Unanimous condemnation of tao
tics involving any voluntary APP
proach to capitalist courts was voted
at Tuesday nights session of the
executive committee of the Food
Workers Industrial Union, meeting
at 16 w. 21st st. The question
came up when it was reported that
certain members of Bakers Local 3,
A. F. W., after being expelled and
thrown out of union meeting by
gangsters, went to the district at
torney seeking medicine for their
wounds!
They were recommended to the
bar association, where lawyer

had to do O. was to have dupl-
Gated copies printed of the Local
8 constitution, dues books, stamps,
ETC., get a court order stopping pay
ment on checks issued by Local 3
officials, call a membership meet
ing to have themselves elected as
new officials, and the union would
be saved!
No dissenting vote was cast to
a motion condemning such legalistic
skulduggery as betrayal of work
ing-class interests.
Reports of the winning of II new
union shops since the opening of the
F. w. l. U. headquarters in the
Bronx and Brooklyn were made by
the food clerks department.; while
both bakers and hotel, restaurant

As predicted already, "Mahatma"
Gandhi is busy negotiating with the
British government authorities to
call off as much of the anti-imper-
ialist movement in India as still will
listen to him. While from widely
separated parts of the land reports
come that the revolutionary move
ment is growing, and that particu-
larly the factory workers OF the
cities refuse to tamely submit to
arrest or dispersal by the British
police and soldiers, Gandhi gives the
capitalist press interviews in his
comfortable quarters in Yerovda
jail, near Poona.
The London Daily Mails Bombay
correspondent announces that Mac
Donald's labor party" has sent re-
porters of British labor papers" as
agents to carry OH the negotiations.
A list of contractural points was
submitted to Gandhi, according to
this report, and he asked time to
revise and consider them.
failing Trick?
Such a move will explain in very
satisfactory manner the reasons for
arresting Gandhi just at the time he
was arrested. The "Mahatma" had
before his arrest given the British
government his blessing in any vio-
lence it might undertake against
those Indians who defied the mis-
leaders "non-violence" creditor
the Indians. He was obviously los
ing the confidence of the anti-im-
perialist movement. Throwing him
in jail, a comfortable Jail, was the
preliminary move to restore conf
dence in him, if possible, before he
actually tried to do as he did in
1922 and called on the movement
to halt.
1t is difficult to tell what hap
pens IN India, even capitalist press
reports being heavily censored by
the British government. The mere
fact of the censorship, however, in
dicates that the movement takes on
more and more a mass character and
that it takes a more revolutionary
form. Gandhi's non-resistance stunts
were never censored.
