THE delegates attending the International Con-
i ference of Marine Workers in Hamburg, Oct.
g. 1880, have issued call to an international
congress- in the near future, to form an 1nterna-
tional Union of Seamen and Harbor Workers.
The call is addressed to "All seanen, all lockers,
and proletarians of all ports and ships" and it
says:
1--WE representatives of the revolutionary sea-
men and lockers of the United States Of Amer
ica England, Canada, France, Germany, Poland,
Italy, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Fin
land, Greece, Algiers, India, China, Japan, Ko-
rea, Philippines, Peru, Argentine, Chile, Uru-
quay, Paraguay, Brazil, and the Union of Social
list Soviet Republics have resolved to set up
militant class International of seamen and
lockers.
''The creation of militant Seamens and Har-
Dor Workers International is the reply to the
demand of hundreds of thousands of workers in
the ports and ships to wage an active and
lentless struggle against the fierce capitalist
offensive, against the violent attacks Of the en-
ployers upon the living standards of the working
masses, against the bloody debaucheries Of fas-
ctsm, and against the unprecedented treacheries
OF the Social Democratic and reformist trade
union bureaucrats."
Hardest on CoIoniaIs.
The call points out that in the present deep
ening crisis, the seamen, scattered and discrimi-
mated against, are particularly victimised, and
especially colonial workers in this industry are
exploited.
In the coming imperialist war, the seamen
will be conscripted.
The need of powerful, militant Seamen's and
Harbor Workers International is evident, and
the International Transport Workers Federation
of Amsterdam, headed by the radical phrase
monger, Edo Firnmen is not helping any. The
call reminds the marine workers:
Remember comrades, when in 1920 the first
transport workers congress after the war was
convened, the social democratic leaders with
Fimmen pledged themselves to use all means in
their power to free humanity forever from the
danger of similar catastrophes.
"How have they fulfilled their vow? What
have they done during the course Of the 10
years existence of the Amsterdam International?

refused to help the struggling German proletariat

We Thoroughly Agree

"Red Sparks" fan in Chicago sends us the
following, with which we are entirely in agree
ment:
Some time ago you criticized in your column,
review in the Daily Worker of Africa Speaks
In the Daily Worker of Oct 49, there are two
reviews of shows: One a review of Silver
Horde and one of Amos n Andy
Both reviews are written as if the writer was
trying to act as publicity agent for the movie
houses Such comments as-'tlis comprises one
OF the most suspicious events of the new season
-and-the selection of Amos N Andy-as the
opening offering makes the event particularly
noteworthy etc. ETC., when referring In the
review to the picture, is lot of bunk, and is
the usual clap-trap Of capitalist reviewers. It
has no place in the Daily Worker.
Let us have some real reviews of movies from
working class angle, exposing the bosses prop
uganda in the pictures."-GL.
The next thing is, Of course, to do something
about it. And here we have difficulties. But
we are not Indifferent, and perhaps by the time
the Five-Year Plan is accomplished. we may get
better reviews.

R4s~*A-
fitting the Lid
By JORGE

In the revelations being made as some ngflt
promoter named Mara, is trying to make the
nrize- fighter Gene Tunney shell out, we get
glimpse of the rottenness of capitalist sports IN
particular and the whole capitalist system IN
general
In the light of the cold facts brought out
some people wonder why there are workers who
are so foolish" as to stand agape at the games
fixed up in advance to fool them But few.
workers really see any big fights. That Is
privilege of the rich only. And the workers who
cannot go, try to seek some interest in their
dull lives by avidly reading the sports sections
of the capitalist papers.
This is the real explanation why workers gran
for the sports section 1t is not that they are
foolish" but that they are hungry for some
thing different than the daily round OF shop
slavc-v mir =, II and worry.
But we mustn't forget Gene Tunney, who re-
ceived 81 $4,000 in two years out Of not only
fighting, but of capitalizing his name, selling
testimonials to hair oil manufacturers, safety
razor firms and SO on That such a stupid
tackass could make so much money out Of prize
fighting, while millions Of workers Of superior
brains, useful members Of society," go hungry and
in rags is sufficient comment on the system Of
capitalism to damn 1t.
But that is not all Tunney's manager, who
cleaned up hundreds OF thousands, had to be
confined in an institution OF tne "noL-au-
there's" officially declared incompetent"
Then the evidence in the Mara suit shows
that every imaginable capitalist politician had
itching fingers in every big fight 1.-THE littls
man at City Hall" was one, only we wonder why
they called it a man" Documents show that
the fighter Wills in getting a match arranged
in New York City, had to agree to pay out to
grafters of one sort and another, 95 per cent
of all he was supposed to get for fighting, and
20 home in barrel so to speak, OF only five
per cent?
Then it was shown how rotten the capitalist
papers are, by the evidence that Tunney's man
ager could not get news helpful to Tunney into
| the papers" because "the newspaper writer's were
tied up to the other SIDE"
This ought to open the eyes Of workers who
read the capitalist newspapers sport news. 1t is
| fact that hardly one sports writer is honest in
the sense that he simply reports sporting news
| In the average New York paper. every blessed
man in the Sports Department is being taken
care of" by some baseball association, fight pro-
moter or someone interested. They pay them
salary besides what the paper gives. They buy
them clothes and generally the whole game
stinks to heaven with corruption. The leading
sports writers are usually getting salary three
ways-or more. Naturally to boost somebody
and knock somebody else.
After all this, one sees the reason why we
| should stimulate the Labor Sports Union, and
aid the great mass of workers to break away
from corrupt capitalist sports, giving them that
interest outside their monotonous shop lives
which they seek for now in the venal journals
of the class that robs them in the shop.

Certainly there is probability of a lynch
ing when the Atlanta case comes to trial,
and ii may come any day now. The bosses
fear us because we are organizing the Negro
workers, but they can't stop us even with
Iynchings."
Herbert Newton, editor Of the Liberator and
national organizer of the American Negro Labor
Congress- Just starting for the national con-
vention of that organization to be held In ST.
Louis, Mo-, Nov 1916, has no illusions about
the justice he may expect as defendant in the
employers courts or at the hands OF 100 per

days recently in Georgia and another attempted
lynching in Atlanta this month form the stage
setting he states, for legal or an illegal lynch

ers cases to go on the calendar any day now.
One postponement has led many sympathizers
to relax their efforts for the defense in the At
lanta case, on the easy theory that it may never
be called. Recent events, however. indicate that
the stage is set for conviction, and conviction
may mean the electric chair for Newton and his
co-defendants.
'In the case this month Of 16-year-
Negro boy, Marion Peters, arrested and falsely
charged with robbery and rape, only the
prompt action of white worker, Com

Newton "The white worker mixed with the
crowds, heard the lynching talk and then or
ganized other white workers as witnesses in
Peters defense. They testified in court on
his behalf; the false charges were dropped and
Peters was released"

THE carrying through of our present activity
confronts us sharply with the rapid develop
ment of new proetarian leadership. Unless we
can develop new forces from the shops, mines
and farms to lead the working youth, we will
fail in our work to build mass YCL and to
win the majority Of the working youth.
We have spoken of new proletarian leadership
many times The term itself became a byword
in fractional struggle. All the while, however,
the year old factional theology effectively pre-
vented the development of new leadership. In
stead there was developed race for leading
positions Individuals were factionaly encour-
aged to work to become leaders in factional
struggle as individuals. This individual lead
ership produced by years Of factionalism be-
came one of the main barriers to our carrying
through of the work after we united the League
and defeated the organized right wingers.
Because comrades worked alone, because no
effort was made to draw in and develop new
comrades, we came out of the past struggles
with very few new comrades who could lead
the organizations we created. Passaic, the coal
strike, New Bedford, all left very few comrades
in our ranks. That this is even continued now
can be seen by the experiences in Gastonia and
elsewhere where we had almost no leadership
developed of the workers themselves and as soon
as our organizers left, the organizations COL
lapsed. There was no one of the workers who
took part in the struggle who was developed
enough to lead the work after the strike.
In the carrying through of the Shock Plan
we are building the League and bringing about
new fields of activity for our League in the
Young Liberators, the Revolutionary opposition
in the opponent organizations ETC. To lead
this work we must activize every comrade and

develop every new one in the most thorough and
rapid manner.
We all know that with our present member
ship and composition we cannot lead the work
ing youth into great struggles We do not rep
resent its composition neither industrialy nor
nationally. This means that we must devote
special attention to the development Of the new
members from the large shops and basic in
dlstries as we'll as from various organizations.
Each member we secure and develop from
large shop or a youth organization, will mean
that much more contact with the working youth
for a nucleus, fraction, etc. If we do this. we
will grow rapidly and shall carry through the
work to become mass League of the American
working youth.
Individual Leadership Is Bad Leadership.
Why did we lose even the few good proletar-
ian comrades whom we drew into leading COM
mittees? The coal fields and industrial towns
are filled with comrades who at one time or
other were on the rolls of the leading committees
of our League, DECs, the MEG, etc. The rea-
son, aside from the general poor functioning Of
our League and the factional struggle, is that
the leading comrades who are more experienced
work alone and fail to draw new forces into
positions of leadership and above all fail to help
these comrades work. The comrades in respon-
sible work figured land still do) that they can
do work quicker If they will carry it out with
out waiting for committees, etc. 1t appears
easier to work alone. No one to argue WITH no
one to wait for at the meetings, ETC. But this
attitude leads to bad relations, does not help to
develop comrades, isoates the leading comrades,
gives rise to bureaucratic tendencies and the
harder the comrade works alone the worse will
these bureaucratic tendencies be.

AS part Of their plan to secure conviction,
prosecuting attorneys demand a separate trial
for the two Negro organizers. Newton and Storey,
who will be called first, while the International
Labor Defense has held out for one trial Of all
six defendants. The determination of the prose-
cution may be judged by the words of Asst.
Solicitor Gen. John Fl. Hudson, who stated at
the time of the indictment:
"As fast as these Communists come here
and publicly preach their doctrine, we shall
indict them and 1 shall demand the death
penalty in every case"

patriots oppose these fearless young Negro or
