The Secretary came back from Eu-
rope more thoroughly sold than ever on
the idea of world disarmament. He
fully realizes. however, that many diff
ficult European political problems re-
main in the path of complete disarma-
ment.
While he does not believe that all
guns and battleships will be beaten into
plowshares after the coming disarma-
ment conference at Geneva, he hopes
important progress will be made.
The Secretary also feels that the
proposals for an immediate naval hol-
iday, believing more will be accom-
plished at the conference If the din of

The Secretary also feels that the

have definite effect upon the world

in this country as well az elsewhere.

encouragement in the manual training

posters.
The unfinished Stuart portrait OF
Washington, the original of which
hangs in the Atheneeum Museum, in
Boston, is that which appears on the

New York City is big place, so the chap who
gives no other address and who signs himself
as illegibly possible as Gordon Ri . (the
rest OF the name is a scrawD" will get no answer
from the letters and enclosures he is sending
around to District Offices of the Communist
Party. His letter says:
"Comrades:-May we ask that the inclosed be
given the utmost circulation, be printed in your
paper if possible, and that copies be tackled up
in your meeting rooms, so that the idea of TAX
ing drastic measures to overcome the dreadful
situation now confronting us may become ia
miliar to your membership"
The drastic measures" spoken of are advo-
Gated in an accompanying typed sheet, entitled
The Right to Kill", and the last paragraph gets
down to business: Men, Comrades for the sake
Of family and SELF start to kill Under existing
circumstances it is the wokingmans right to
kill" And so on through lot of kill, kills"
aimed at "the big robbers"
Even Gordon What's-His Name had left his
address somewhere letter or envelope, he
might have been invited to-if he thinks killing
is needed-to start in on himself.
Because he is either a rather crude detective
framing up little job to keep on the payroll OF
the bosses, or petty bourgeois who, under the
stress of capitalist crisis and chaos, has gone
batty in the belfry. Certainly no worker writes
such lunatic rubbish and certainly no Commu-
mist is peddling such kill, kill" nonsense but Is

What Has Paterson Learned
from the Miners Strike?

The Plenum resolution calls upon the Party
to study and apply the lessons OF the miners
strike The experience in the Paterson strike
can be studied more profitably they would
be viewed in the light OF the lessons and ex-
periences Of the miners strike.
The Plenum resolution stated that the les
sons of the miners strike must be worked out
in detailed application in each specific field
of trade union work" Too often do we repeat
mistakes because we don't study the lessons
and experiences Of previous mass struggles.
Have comrades in Paterson protited by the
mistakes committed in the miners strike as
the failure of building the Party prior and dur
ing the strike?
The Plenum resolution calls for intensified
study and propaganda OF the tactics OF strike
strategy and practice, especially in regard to
the preparation and ending of strikes" The
comrades in Paterson who have participated IN
the strike should make available to the Party
their experiences and lessons from the struggle
We therefore call upon them to write short
articles in which they compare the lessons and
mistakes of their strike with those of the min
ers' strike. The Plenum resolution dealing with
the question of building the revolutionary IN
ions and work in the redornlst unions raises
a. number of points in the section of building
I'D in the discussion of the 18th Plenum de-
cisions We could for instance, suggest to the
Paterson comrades to write articles on some
OF the points (of course, not excluding the
othersl: (c) Independant leadership by the re-
volutionary trade unions through various forms
of united front from below grievance commit
tees, shop committees, action committees, strike
committees etc (e) Systematic building OF new
cadres by drawing in new active workers and
responsible leaders from top to bottom; aboh-
ton Of the practice Of relying entirely on out
side forces for organzational leadership"
The present enlightenment campaign on the
18th Plenum on how to carry out its decisions
must not be taken as mere routine campaign.
The very progress towards mass work depends
n how well we understand the line and how well
we will carry it out in practice. The comrades |
who have been active in the struggle, particu-
larly in strike struggles, must review their work
in the light OF the Plenum decisions and i'm |
nroye the mass activity and the building OF the |
unions on the basis Of the 18th |
Plenum decisions.
we therefore hope that the comrades who |
have participated in the Paterson textile str{ke
win take this seriously and number q Ax- |
t,eiss win be written for tire Daily worSsr /
Plerun discussion.

The prisoner turned pale at the enormity o.

At this point Tony said he had to intervene
as counsel for the defense, and raise the OBJ

the Y.CL because of girls, it could not be

The idea is that workers should, when ous a.

box, where-With the injection of the chemical
called "insulin" they remain "iu a state of

for as long as the boss thinks necessary.
Then when times improve, says the scientist
the workers can be taken off the ice, thawed
out and put to work! He explains it like this

During the second campaign we had 1000

At the present we have 1880 members. Our
slogan is the same-Every branch must collect
at least one dollar per member. But we must
make all efforts to exceed by far the quota set
for us,
Comrades members of the international Work
ers Order! We do not have to tell you of the
role the Morning Freiheit has played and is
playing today in helping build the revolutionary
trade unions. We do not have to tell you about
the tremendous role the Morning Freheit has
played in the struggle which we led against the
traitors in the Workmen's Circle and Independ-
emit Workmen's Circle. What part the Morning
Freiheit took in the organization of the Inter
national Workers Order, and what mighty
weapon the Morning Freiheit has been in its
building up is known to all our members.
Our members know, that the Morning Frei-

counter revolutionaries and all SANDER against

der have just completed a successful campaign
for the striking miners, in which $4,000 was
raised But we must and will overcome all diff
ficulties. We know that the members of the
International Workers Order cannot get along
without the Morning Freiheit.
The National Executive Committee is certain,
that the branches and members will do their
utmost in collecting the necessary funds.
We must, however, change our method in
this campaign Until now we have collected
money from the members of the branches, at
the branch meetings, We must now spread out
our campaign beyond our own ranks, outside
Of the branches. Every member collector for
the Morning Freiheit among his fellow work
ers and friends. Every member will receive
collection list and must collect a minimum of
one dollar on his list besides the sum he will
contribute himself. Every member must collect
in his shop, in his home at the market wher-
ever the workers come together. Developing
the campaign outside of the branches we will,
at the same time, broaden the influence Of the
Morning Freiheit. Let us all bear in mind, that
in the coming four weeks we must devote all
our efforts and energy to the support OF our
Morning Freiheit
Comrades, the work of collecting funds for
the Morning Freiheit cannot be postponed. Let
us prevent situation, where the Morning Frei-

us keep in mind our slogan-quick help and
double the amount.
We call upon the branches TO organize i'm

hasten to give blow to worke>= in other parts.
Instead of a direct simultaneous attack on the
entire front, they give individual blows to indi-

weaken their joint and soldified action.
Immediately following wage-cutS and new
drastic worsening of the conditions of the min
erS and textile workers, the employers have be-
gun to lower the wages Of the steel and railroad
workers. simultaneously there are drastic wage
cSts taking place in various states in different
Industries. In many instances these wage reduc-
tions assume enormous dimensions, like the so
per cent wage cut for the hosiery workers in
Philadelphia, and cuts in other places.
If we are to consider that large part of the
working class is, in many cases. working from
to days week, if we are also to consider the

By RALPH SIMONS
THE objective conditions for the development
and Strengthening of the revolutionary trade
union movement in the United States and the
development Of large mass struggles, are very
favorable at the present time. The class lines are
sharply drawn and defined.
The miners and textile strikes which are out
standing through their intensity, sharpness and
tenacity have once more undersigned these class
division lines They have once more proven the
strike breaking line of the reactionary trade
unions and their left" heutenants from the
Music camp and the pitiful renegade Lovestone
group.
1t is becoming more and more evident for the
working class that on the other side of the class
barricades together with the reactionary Hoover
government, the government of hunger and war,
together with the powerful, well-trained employ
ers' associations there are not only the fused
with-the-bourgeoisie and completely corrupted
strike breaking leaders of the A. F. of L. and
their affiliated unions, but also their active sup
porters, the Music and the Lovestone groups.
These elements are the more dangerous be-
cause in order to dampen the fighting spirit of
the working class, they apply the well COM
bined methods of the most refined betrayal OF
the masses together with the direct forcble
crushing of strikes, while hypocritically at the
same time covering it up with the mask OF
friendliness and the defense of the interests OF
the working class.
Finding support in their agents in the ranks
of the working class, who have in their hands
complicated, widely branched out trade union
machinery with rich experiences in defeating
struggles of the proletarian masses the employ
ers are conducting their new offensive against
the working class at the present time with more
determination and decisiveness on a more broad
ly developed front
While testing the resisting power of the work
