B. The Problem of the Organization of Labour
Power.

D. Inc Problem OF the Organization Of Labour
Power.
Comrade Stain also pointed Out in his sneech
that in the development of soviet industry the
personal responsibility of the factory or deuart-
ment manager Of the groups of workers. and of
lnolNdual workers for their factories for their
departments, for their machines etc, had de-
cllned He declared that this decline of personal
responsibility for the work undertaken and for
the material used, was the result in MANY cases
OF an overzealous introduction of the uninter-
rupted labour process (the Five Day Week. in
certain industries and factories. Another cause
was the numerical growth OF the working class
and IN particular the large labour contingents
from the villages. Everyone knows that in the
old-establlshed capitalist countries labour power
particularly for those industries which demand
high labour qualifications was recruited chiefly
from the old reservoir of workers who had been
engaged in the industrial process for generations
AS result OF the tremendous extension of the
industrial system in the Soviet Union the stua-
ton there is quite different. For instance an
investigation into the causes for the slow de-
Velopment OF production in the new Stalingrad
tractor works revealed the fact that only so per
cent OF the total staff had been engaged for
more IMAM SIX months in the industrial processA
Conlrade Stain dealt with this situation in his
Speeeh dilu oecldreu CIlaI greater attention must
be paid to the problem of the organization and
distribution Of labor power, and that the prin-
ciple of personal responsibility must be intro
duced for the individual worker and for all pro-
ductive groups with regard to the work per-
formed and for the tools of production etc. He
also proposed that where the preliminary condi-
tons for the introduction and maintenance of
the uninterrupted labour process were not given
the five day week should be temporarily aban-
doned in favour of the normal working week OF
six days until such time as the conditions neces-
sary for the effective functioning of the five day
week should have been established
The capitalist and social democratic press ex-
aggerates these suggestions of Comrade Stain
into the total abandonment of the five day week
That is Of course nothing more than new lie
intended to abolish the deep impression created
everywhere by the introduction of the five day
week in the Soviet Union.
Is the introduction Of the principle Of per-
sonal responsibility and the correct organiza-
ton and distribution of labor power in any way
In contradiction to the tenets OF socialism? The
question alone shows how absurd are the COM
ments of the bourgeois and social democratic
press
4. The Problem of the Technical Intellgenzia.
A further cause of the irregular development
Of Soviet industry mentioned by Comrade Stain
was the insufficient grow of working class
technical intelhgenzia. Since the November
Revolution the Soviet power has opened tech
meal high schools for workers in all branches OF

1t is by no means an accident that the Nor
walk Hour with Its leading editorial In the
issue of July 81 demands the deportation Of
what they call red strike leaders. On the same
page appears letter asking for donations to
Norman Thomas strikebreaking relief COM
mittee.
Another proof Of the responsibility Of the s. p
is seen In the opening Of the Workinen'S Circle
Center in Hartford. After using trickery to de-
priTe the left wing shareholders of their shares,
the old Labor Lyceum was opened up with its
new name For few days previous to its
opening it was decorated with large American
flags and red white and blue bunting Among
the speakers at the opening were some leading
capitalist politicians. The capitalist papers had
nothing but praise in welcoming this new cen
ter of community life

MYTH feverish efforts, the Socialist Party Is
w trying to revive itself in Connecticut A
few weeks ago it held a state convention, its
delegates coming chiefly from the Workmen's
Circle branches and the small remnants re-
naming of the old branches. In a few cities
special organizers have been working for some
time True to the policy of the S. P. the chief
efforts of the organizers is to draw teachers
and the professional and business elements first
so as to avoid the discomfort Of any possible
workers leadership developing there In fact, a
man in working clothes who came to the con-
vention was frowned upon and ignored.
The revival has all the features Of a Billy
Sunday Revival With the blare of trurnpets
the bold fighters" marched forward. Heralded
in the columns of the capitalist press, they came
to save the world. From whom? From the
working class of course
During the elections of 1880 in the city of
Bridgeport, the socialist savours, told the work
ers. 1--WE believe in the same thing as the Com
munists, only socialists have sane way about
getting it," Not for nothing did the S. P. adopt
this method 1t was fulfilling its task. It was
saving humanity" from the fear of Con1mu-
nism It was doing this in order to deceive the
workers who are awakening to the call for
struggle in order to steer the determination for
struggle into safe" channels.
Socialists Deceive Workers.
The workers must be deceived. This is the
battle cry of the socialists. And every effort
is strained in this direction. And for this pur-
pose the petty bourgeois elements are being mob
ilized, money being collected, and special Or
ganizers utilized The capitalist press opens UP
its columns to them. Editorials are written
praising them. They need help in the form Of
publcity-and they get it. The capitalist press
knows to whom to give space.
In recent issue of the Stamford Advocate
a long letter was printed by special organ
izer" This gentleman is named Joseph Miller.
He is a graduate of Mustes ant-working class
poison shop at Brookwood. Fresh from his
laurels in completing his course on how to COM
bat Communism he came to Stamford a few
weeks ago. And he finds it easy to work there.
Let the Communists struggle with the police
He on the contrary, finds the police quite
friendly and willing to help. He works with the
respectable people of the community. In his
letter this special organizer shows he knows the
minds OF the workers of Stamford. He knows
of the tremendous sentiment among the work
ers in SUI, sort of the Soviet Union. So this
gentleman dares not attack the Soviet Union,
Let that come later. Now one must be clever"
So he writes Russia has shown that a govern
nent can run industry and run it more eff
GENTLY than a private organization" Then

this basic form of organization, that is, without
mass picket lines, all other strike activities mean
very little. With strong well organized picket
line, 1t is more difficult to bring in strike break
ers the morale of all strikers becomes stronger.
All other activities such as relief defense, build
ing OF the union, women's auSdiaries are more
rapidly developed and the spreading of the strike
will be carried out at much more rapid pace.
Therefore, when we all know that mass picket
ing is the very life of strike then it becomes
necessary that we put our mass picketing on a
more substantial organzational base It Is not
enough to simply call everybody to come out on

Sweet Freedom
Not For This
Man For Awhile

Seven and one-half hours of free
dom were thoroughly enjoyed by
Harley Hagin, 81, released on a IL
quor charge yesterday afternoon af-
ter having spent several days in Jail.
He was released at o'clock last
night and celebrated to such an ex-
tent that he was brought back to
jail at 1880 and booked on charge
of disturbing the peace. The ar
rest was made in Westmorland.
Hagin was arrested by federal
prohibition officers in raids con-
Quoted last weekend and yesterday
was fined $500 with 500 suspended.
Freedom apparently was sweet while
it lasted but he probably is the
worlds most disguised man this

Two Million Horses

Two million wild horses stampeding daily to. the
sea-New York state is trying to f1rd way to tame
EN- and break them to the traces
The st. Lawrence water power development COM
mission has given the New York legislature report,
showing one way.
The commission persuasively shows that by build
ing dam and power house on dry land and chang
ing the course of the ST. Lawrence river 100000
horse power "a million to New York state, million
to Canada) be generated at $40 per horse power
year as compared to $25 If steam produced
This crucial question remains: How distribute this
state-produced power?
The commission proposed distribution by contract
through the transmission lines of private companies
With excessive faith, we fear, the majority mem
bers of the commission expect that the companies
Will offer a fair and equitable contract
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt wisely insists that
the state be armed with bargaining club in the
form of authority to build it's own transmission lines
II the private companies fail to accept fair terms
Pending the legislatures action, the solution of
one Of the nations most mast and most interesting
power problems hangs in the balance. And the
100000 horses continue their mad futile stampede
to the sea while the housewives of the state wait fol-
the blessing of lower electricity rates.

And This Is Not Socialism

one-half Of the great incomes Of 1928 had been
distributed wages, instead Of being poughed back
INTO making more things than the existing wages
could buy, we probably would not have had the So
called production which brought on the 1929-30
collapse.
Large wealth, accommodating as 1t does in the hands
OF comparatively few, has to be nloughed back, to find
an outlet. Those few spend personally, con-
sumers, only limited part of their total income.
Accordingly. there is piling-up process, with the
inevitable topping which we witnessing
II larger part of the wealth that gravtated to
the few and by the few reinvested in enlarging
industry, had been circulated to the many consump
ton then would have tended to keep pace with pro-
duction, since the capacity Of the many to consume
unlike that of the few, is not limited.
AS long inordinate portion Of the total wealth
continues to concentrate in the hands of those who
can't spend 1t consumers, and can find an outlet
only in multiplying production will have over
expansion, followed by collapse followed by painful
and slow convalescence-and then the whole cycle
over again.
To break up that cycle is capitalisms big job if
capitalism Is to survive.
Not from the humanitarian point Of view only, but
from the point Of view of the wealthy well the
poor and the moderate the way out must be through
attaining balance by increasing the portion of the
total wealth that goes into the spending channel of
wages.

taxpayers Interested

CENATOR COUzENS was right
~ in asking Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Mills if he thought the
government or the veterans knew
best what the latter needed, but he
was wrong in leaving out the tax
payers.
1t all goes back to the taxpayers,
and that includes everybody.
The government has nothing ex-
cept what 1t collects, and whenever
it gives something to one class of
people, it does no more than pass
the bill to everybody.
The question of what SHOULD be
done about the bonus is not to be
solved by the simple thought of how
much We owe the soldiers, but the
vastly more complicated problem of
what or how much we can stand.
In adjusting the reparation S
problem and settling foreign debts,
we have had much to say about
peoples ability to pay, not only in
the total amount, but with regard
to time.
If that's a good rule for Germany
France, or Italy, it is equally good
for us.
Rich as the United States may be,
she is not an inexhaustible treasure
house, as the farmer realizes when
he tries to market his wheat, or the
plumber learns when he fills out his
income tax return.
