The Sullivan Law

new York State was preparing today to
deal gangland a sweeping blow with the null
ihcauon on Thursday of all of the $4,000
pistol permits now in force. The renewals
will be under stringent rules."-N. Y. Times.
Tuesday, Sept. 20.
All OF which is unadulterated eye-wash. Ana
the same with the acres of indignation against
eangsters" in the whole capitalist press, which
turns out to be propaganda for further viola
ton of the U. S. Constitutional provision that
The right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed upon"
The Sullivan law of N. Y State YOU know
torbids anyone from even keeping arms in their
homes And Gov. Roosevelt, who simultaneous
ly pushed an appropriation of $2o00OoOO sup
poSedly for adequate unemployment relief and
notified the National Guard to be ready to
suppress unemployed food riots, also is hell
bent to get the federal government to Infringe"
on the right to bear arms by the artful trick
of banning their transport between states
OF course any such law or laws are blithely dis
regarded for capitalists and their pals the gang
sters. And of course, also, all these "verbotens"
by kaiser-like capitalists who think that revo-
luton may overtake them in their beds and
that it can be prevented by such measures won't
prevent any revolution Little "putsches' and
coup-d'etatS might be, but a revolution is a
mass affair, and when one is due the masses will
help themselves to whatever is needed
But what we want to call attention to is the
way gangsters thrive on such sweeping blows"
by the state government. In the World-Tele-
gram of Sept. "a, nice little story told about
one Peter Devito.
New Yerk's most successful strike breaker
with an annual income of 100000 and an
ambition to succeed as big boss, his old
schoolboy friend, AL Capone."
Devito was found to have cheated the federal
government out of income tax but otherwise he
wasn't bothered at all, and the federal officers
found him:
&c. in his comfortable brick home where he
lay abed, surrounded by loaded pistols and a
sword cane"
No Sullivan law or sweeping blows apply
to Devito, whom U. S. Attorney H. w. Amen
proudly advertizes as-"the only man in greater
New York who can successfully break strike
at any time" And, look. workers. from where he
gets his 100000 year:
"He received S25OO0o from the Standard OIL
Company in 1929. He served the James Butler
Co., the H. C. Bohack Co., and the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Co., during strikes in
1929"
The federal officers were very polite and their
courtesy was returned, everybody was chubby,
and since the federal officers were only interested
in income tax and not about the Sullivan law
nor the Prohibition law they spoke highly Of his
choice of arms, and the story relates, observed
in the cellar "a well-furnished rathskeller with
a 15-foot bar for guests"

We Are Dangerous

We have always understood that the Daily
Worker is pretty dangerous for the bosses, when
workers bring it around factory, particularly
if the workers are on stike.
But what puzzles us is On Monday about 1000
wokers went on strike at Lofts, after some work
ers came up to the Daily and one OF the staff
took them to the Food Workers Industrial
Union. However, when the staff member sug-
gested to the comrade who heads this union that
the Daily, with a story of the strike in 1t, be
brought to the strikers, he was told that, "You
mustn't do that. It's too soon. We want to
get leadership first"
Apparently the Third Period has not yet been
discovered by the officials of the Food Workers
Industrial Union although it has by the food
workers
1t seems that the Daily Worker is dangerous
to the strike, according to this comrade, but It
is all right for the strikers to get the numerous
capitalist dope-sheets.
Postscript: The strikers are just eating up the
Daily Worker, although the union lost what
little leadership it first managed to get by our
assistance.

Work Among Women

All talk about winning the majority of the
working class, without making revolutionary
change in the attitude of the entire Party to-
wards work among women, is nothing but idle
chatter. While certain advances in this work
are to be noted international Women's Day
campaign, organizational achievements in the
miners strike, building of auxiliaries recruit
ment of women into the Party, improvement OF
the Working Woman" growth of circulation,
etc., the main characteristic of this important
phase of Party work is that of almost complete
neglect. The tasks of the districts are to find
forces and to build functioning departments for
work among women and to give them political
and organizational guidance.
From the Resolution of the 18th
Pienum, CO, CPUSA, on the Main
Tasks Of the Party, published IN the

and its sending of millions of the working class
to another bloody world slaughter will be the
Communist Party of the United States, sup
ported by the most militant and revolutionary
proletarians. They know too that in this period
OF rapid disntegration of world capitalism that
even American capitalism cannot hope to survive
much longer, and that the Communists are not
testing when they call upon the workers to
transform the coming imperialist war into civil
war and bring an end to the rotten capitalist
system OF exploitation and oppression 1t is
evident to them that the bitter struggle which
the employed and unemployed are putting I'D

workers of past years. The letter of Sam Scar
lett, printed below, applying for membership in
the Communist Party of Canada speaks largely
for itself in this respect. But there are matters
of interest for all workers in the lessons Com
rade Scarlet draws of his conversion to the
Communist International
skilled mechanic of the highest order, Scar
lett typifies the working class militant who in
the pre-war days was repulsed by the opportun-
ism of the socialist" party and attracted to the
than, militant IWW industrial Workers of the
World. AS an IWW organizer he was among
the best, having used higher order of strike
strategy and tactics in the Mesaba Iron Range
miners strike of 1916, a position of leadership
which was the more to his credit because the
IWW strikes depended upon the instinct of the
organizer at the head instead of collective con-
sideraton. For this he was not only for a time
jailed under charges of murder, but later drew
ten years sentence in the Haywood case for Sc
ditious conspiracy
Behind prison bars at Leavenworth Comrade
Scarlet remained the same rebel he was out
side, nor did prison drive him into inactivity
alCerWaro as IL Qlo ninety per cent or more of
the other IWW leaders who went through it. His
delay until now in applying for membership in
the Communist International and up until two or
three years ago in opposing it, was due primarily
to the fact that he failed to see the necessity
for close study of theory and having already alb
sorbed the anarcho-syndcalist viewpoint, more
particularly the syndicalist viewpoint he Stub
bornly held to it, But the overwhelming facts
OF Soviet success has won him because for all
his previous "prejudices, those prejudices were
that of an honest worker.
Now having become convinced of the correct
ness of the Communist line of struggle we have
no doubt Conrade Scarlet will be as tireless
and as stubborn fighter for the Communist
International as he was for the IWW, when it
was still revolutionary organization.
Comrade Scarlet is but one of a number OF
leading IWW's of the old days. such as Gordon
Cascaden and Roy Brown who are now as en-
thusiastic for the Communist International as
they were previously stubborn against it.. This
should be an example to all of the old time men,
bers OF the IWW, who, as honest workers the
Communist International welcomes into its ranks
without recrimination as Comrades in the
