BALTIMORE, June 4.-Deets Pickett,
secretary of the research department of
the Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals, last
night condemned the Canadian and
clared that If brought to the United
States they would result in "chaos and
bloodshed."
Creation and placing in seats of power
an organized system of racketeering
would be the result of adoption of the
Swedish system Pickett said in an adj
dress to the Baltimore conference of
the church, with opportunities for graft
and entrenching in protected places of
dangerous criminals greater under this
system than any other.
Takes Rap at Cities.
In New York, the churchman said,
Tammany Hall would have the naming
of all connected with the liquor distribu-
ton system and in Philadelphia these
perquisitss and privileges would be
placed in the hands of the sweet-smell-
ing Republican machine of that CITY,"
Picturing Chicago under such a sys-
tenn, Pickett said that Mr.. Cermak, who
is worse than Thompson evar was, will
be able to gather into his grip the thou
sands upon thousands of vicious char
acters which naturally gravitate to the
liquor business. building out of them
machine which would perfect an I'M
breakable political control and dcbauch
that city as it has never been de-
bauched before
Referring to the Swedish system, he
said that the people OF Sweden are
comparatively few in number and have
been trained under royal houses to ODE
dience." He said the Swedish and Ca
madam systems were practically the
same.

LEADERSHIP BY COMMAND"

be held next Saturday, at p. M at such and
such place; "all functionaries must be pres
ent." Did the org letter state what the meeting
was for? Were the bureaus urged to prepare
report based on an analysis of the situation in
their respective territories, tos bring some sug-
gestions or plans? Nothing of that sort 1t is
obvious that any serious attempt at putting a
sop to the downward trend of our section activi-
ties must include reports from the units based
on previously well arranged discussion by the
unit membership ....e
And what took place at the functionaries'
meeting? The old story again. poor report
was given by the section org secy. number of
functionaries spoke for minutes each, giving
vent to their hard luck Stories" District reps
sermonized quite at length and the ceremony
was over"
Was it in keeping with the alarming situation
in the section to assign to the section org secre
tary, comparatively new comrade in the Sec
ton, the task of making the report? 1t goes
without saying that the report, emitting as it
did many important aciviies and problems, could
not give clear picture of the true state Of af-
fairs in our section and therefore could not be
a constructive one Nor did the report so much
as pretend to take the pains of looking into the
factors responsible for the thousand and one
complaints the comrades from the floor have
aired And the minute speeches-what could
a rank and file functonary, unschooed in
speaking economically, accomplish insofar as
telling what ails his unit, where, in his opinion
the trouble lies, what could be done to right
things, ETC.? What did the meeting do to en-
tighten the comrades why for instance the
speakers bureau does not function (resuting in
open air meetings not being heidi and how to
remedy the situation? Or what did the meeting
accomplish to put the Negro Department in our
section on functioning basis? Did the meet
ing go into the causes that make for the apathy
and Responsiveness of our comrades? Not at
ALL
1t appears as if the leading comrades in our
section have been swayed by the old habit that
whenever trouble crops up meeting has got to
be called ito talk matters over" to clear their
conscience But does it require great intelh-
gence to see that such formal and tme-worn
procedure attached to calling of meetings will
not lead us anywhere.
And this--only few weeks after the 18th
Plenum where so much was said about the curse
of leadership by command

Fifure It Out

Under the heading: Maybe this is the Cause
CT Industrial Unrest" we get the following, pub
lshed by somebody called 1.-THE Leafs of Science
down in the shoutin Methodist country in
Hagerstown Maryland
In the year, there are only 1865 days; you work
only eight hours day; therefore, there are is
hours a day in which you do not work This
amounts to 244 days year, leaving 12f days
There are So Sundays leaving SO days you work
only half a day on Saturday, amounting to rs
days, leaving 43 days One hour each day for
lunch, making Is days, leaving 81 days. You
taae two weeks vacation, amounting to IA DAYS
leaving 10 days There are 70 legal holidays,
leaving one day. and you are sick at least one
day out Of the year; THEREFORE, YOU DO
NOT WORK AT ALI"
On top of all this you probably are one of
those rascals who want unemployment insurance
to be paid for by Woodworking stockholders!
But we see some more about these "Leals of
Science" 1t says:
"Anyone filling out an application and
sending IL, in with donation of IS cents has
very good reason to believe that they viii be
elected to stroll to EDEN, which is the first
stroll toward Paradisce which is the highest
stroll in Eden, where is located the Conoke for
freedom"

Well, that's an attractive offer, though nothing
Is mentioned about any Ewes thrown in with the

for cents what mightnt you get for about

Workers Learn Militant Class
Struggle Defense Policy
BY BURCK

defendants face long years in prison and who
because of their leadership in the workers strug-
giles, are needed out of prison to arouse and
mobilize further struggle.
The unpolitcal, bourgeois, sentimental placing
OF bail as rule, a matter of principle, has
seriously interfered with the effective carrying
out of the main tasks of the /. L. D."1
The I. R. A. speaking of it's American section
u. L. d. says there has been too much at
tention devoted to legal activities expenditures
OF large amounts for lawyers, bail, fines and
appeals. The payment of fines (and accompany
ing court COSTS and premium for bail bond must
be declined by the I. L. D." Here the question
OF cost for bail bond is treated just as is the
question of fines. The l. L. D., on the other
hand. of course does not oppose the release Of
workers on bail 1t does state that it cannot
alone assume the obligation to pay costs con-
nected with bail.
Further, vital points are dealt With in other
srticleS in this special supplement, in the Labor
Defender (the I. r. A. Surveys the T. L. D.
July, 1881, and article by the writer in the
october DefendeD in the pamphlet Under T.
r. A. Banners, in the Remarks of Conrade
Browder on I. L. D." in recent issue OF the
Daily Worker, in the new pamphlet announced
herein, and in the II. L. D. Builder" monthly
Bulletin for functionaries.
Full discussions are to be held by the L L. D.
in come .on with its national organization con-
ference, 'ov. LIST, and in the other, most inter-
ested cls-s struggle and revolutionary organiza-
tons. We must prepare for the still greater
mass prosecutions and arrests which will accom-
pany the strikes and struggles against hunger
this winter. The L. D. must plan much more
educational work, classes for active l. L. D.
workers, etc 1t must recognize the lack of poll
teal life in the organization &c a uho1e II
must understand the need to internationalize
its work to link up national issues with inter-
national struggles 1t must put the work among
the Negro toilers as one of the most important
tasks. To do all these things, it calls for the
help of more hundreds and thousands of mem
bers to take posts in I. L. D. This is required to
help lead the mass struggle against boss terror,
capitalist justice, lynching, and for the release
of all class war prisoners

ARTICLE III.

THIS question relates to points (a), Cd and
te) hitherto mentioned The resolution
says:
The question of payment of fines must be
again emphasized very strongly. Just as much
as it can not be the duty of the I. L. D. to sup
ply proxies (substitutes) to serve the Jail SEN
fences of convicted workers. on the same prin-
ciple it cannot be held the duty of the I. L. D.
to pay the fines of convicted workers To recog-
nize such duty would paralyze the l. L. D. and
also discredit it. With the tremendous increase
OF persecution of proletarians, because Of the
sharpening of the class struggle the payment of
fines of these victims would easily and quickly
exhaust all financial possibilities of the organ
ization. The I. L. D. must not undertake and
must definitely refuse to pay fines. There shall
be no exception to this rule
II any organization thinks that worker con-
victed and fined in the course of his activities
should be relieved from serving time by paving
the fine, that organization must make the rails
ing of the fine the basis of separate campaign
In the course of the campaign the workers will
show their agreement with the correctness of
such procedure by the organization"
We add the advice of the International Red
Aid: 1.-THE I. L. D. should never pay fines be-
cause this encourages the courts to lay down
high fines, and the government gets new forms
of income which is used as rule directly for
keeping up police and prosecution agents"
About Bail
The matter of bail, has been handled, also
not from class struggle standpoint but often
from bourgeois, sentimental approach Re-
leasing workers on bail is not question of prin-
ciple, but is rather matter of political (class-
struggle) expediency and necessity. Bail is not
to be put up just to save worker from spend
ing few days or weeks in JAIL pending trial
Victories are not won in capitalist courts by
legalistic methods, but are won with proper mass
protest In hundreds of these cases money spent
for premium on BAIL would be be- er spent for
mobilizing mass protest, ETC., and for the care of
the dependents of the prisonerein the event that
capitalist justice claims its victim

CSection 8, Dist. No. ~

OUR section committee has decided to call
unit functionaries' meeting to discuss prob
lens confronting our section. And there is no
gainsaying that recent doings in our section have
warranted a functionaries meeting; thorough
and comprehensive discussion of oft-repeated
failures and shortcomings suffers no postpone
ment
For the last few months everything in our
section went topsy turvy There is no coordina-
ton of work between leading cadres and the
entire membership. The various departments
do not fulfill the tasks assigned to them. Many
activities are undertaken but are not brought
even to half way accomplishment. In a word
the wheels of the entire section apparatus are
clogged, the work does not move and the see
ton membership is infested with apathy and
sitting pessinlisn. A searching investigation
must be made at once to remedy the situation.
A section functionaries' meeting properly ar
ranged could do a lot to unearth causes and de-
terrnine responsibilities.
But how did the section committee proceed
with the plan Of calling such meeting?
AS usual The section org letter informed the
unit bureaus that functionaries' meeting would
