The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-02

Party under the pretense of "being neutral
towards different tendencies in the labor move
ment." This neutrality" included the appeal
ing to the fascist bureaucracy of the A. F.
of L. to organize strike against the Finnish
Communist daily, the Tyomies las a recent
bulletin of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor proves), brazen attempt to acquire
the control of the Party daily, the Tyomies; of
initiating splitting move in the workers clubs
and women's councils against the Communists,
ETC., ETC., which were decisively defeated. Fur
thermore these opportunities developed in an
amazingly short period in open fascism in
the struggle against the Communist line. Love-
stones sheet makes plea for the poverty of
the Cooperative Central Exchange, when the
question of giving financial support to the
struggles carried on by the masses by the in
itiative of the Party was concerned But this
has by no means prevented this same poor"
Exchange from spending some 100000 in the
struggle against the Party line during the last
six months!
The Meaning Of the "Crisis"
Fortunately" states the Lovestone sheet,
the Finnish cooperative movement has been
saved from the Party! Looked at from the
surface and without taking into consideration
the dialectical development taking place, the
their victory" in the Finnish co-operatves
This they achieved by padding the delegation
by padding the membership meetings of the
local co-operatives where the delegations
elected-and in most cases even as such, re-
ceiving majority varying from !, 2 to 5.
However, in this struggle the Party has for
the first time been built in District 9. This
"crisis" has been nothing else but bolsheviza-
fioo in {ha trod al Ir dam
ocratic Party organization of District and
in the mass organization surrounding it. The
Party organization has purified itself and is
gaining decisive influence amongs the masses.
The best proof of this are the mass demonstra-
tons of August /, March and May First.
Another undisputed proof of this is the rs-
ing of the Lumber Workers Union, the Metal
Miners Union and of the new Marine Workers
Union in this District. An unquestionable
proof of this is the fact that the workers mass
organizations have categorically rejected the
brazen social fascist line of Halonen. And the
organization of the revolutionary left wing in
the co-operatives, having in its first delegate
meeting some 900 delegates present, the car
rying on of a systematic struggle against
these agents of the bourgeoise, the fact that
over 10 large local co-operatives have already
in this brief time openly declared themselves
against the social 1aSclStS ana Tor the PARTY,
and the ever more acute growing capitalist
crisis both in the industrial field and in agri-
culture, will give sufficient guarantee of the
fact that neither Halonen nor his new ally
Lovestone, will have time to grow gray on the
laurels of their victory" in fighting the Com
munist International and the Communist Party
of the U. S. A. in line with the multi-million-
aire Dr. Warbasse, now in the leadership of
the American consumers co-operatves, deteri-
Grating rapidly into agencies Of the chain store
system of finance capital, and becoming an
open adjunct to the capitalist oppressive sys-
tenn, directed against the workers.
In the Brooklyn cooperative, an open ally
of Haonen and through him of Renegade Love-
stone, clear example of this development
was given few days ago in connection with
the May Day preparations. When the Brook
lyn, N. Y, police arrested worker employed
by the Brooklyn cooperative (under the lead
ership of S. P. and Trotskyite forces (for dis
tributng the Daily Worker, the S. P.-Trotsky-
lite management promptly fired him upon his
return from the Jail after being released on
bail.
Renegade Lovestone fin Is himself in very
worthy company! We may congratulate him,
because the sooner he openly parades in this
company, the sooner will his majority group"
of few score CT degenerated intellectuals
dwindle in the oblivion of the scrap heap of
history Already now may justly speak
about him by starting the story: "Once upon
