unemployment insurance, motivat-
ed his appeal in typical S. P. fash
ion: 1.-THE Importance of such a
recommendation lies in the fact
that it would encourage and con-
vince the workers of our state at
this critical hour that the govern
ment is not remiss in its duty and
that grave social wrongs can be
remedied through democratic
(read: capitalist means" Empha-
sis mine.-A. To
This is, of course, nothing else
but an attempt to SOW illusions
among the workers so that they
may believe that they can get real
relief from the ravages of the pres
ent economic crisis and attendant
unemployment from the capitalist
state government of New York.
DEBS STANDS FOR
REVOLUTIONARY
CLASS UNIONISM
From the very beginning of his
acceptance of Socialism as his
guiding philosophy, Debs under
stood that the only real labor union
is the class union. He never failed
to drive home this lesson. The old
union-by which he meant the
union which Gompers helped to
develop through class collaboration
and which was founded on the pol
icy of "fair days work for fair
days wage"-he considered as en-
tirely opposed to the interests of
the workers. He maintained that
this union is organized on the
basis of identity of interests be-
tween the capitalists and the wage
workers, and spends its time and
devotes its energies to harmonic
ing these two classes; and it is a
main and hopeless task. When this
interest can be even temporarily
harmonized it is always in the in
terest of the capitalist class and
at the expense of the working
class"
Debs understood the nature Of
the class struggle. He saw the ar
ray of class forces in every fight
the workers waged. This can be OBJ
served in all his utterances. He also
knew the power, and the role of
the state in class conflicts. He
himself experienced it many times
during the struggles in which he
was engaged. He saw the A.R.U.
strike broken by the military force
of the capitalist government and
when he later described it he wrote
that lin the CLEAN of every bayo-
net and the flash of every rifle the
class struggle was revealed"
THE trade unions which stand
squarely and uncompromisingly
on the platform of the class strug-
gle and which are built on the basis
of revolutionary industrial union
ism for which Debs stood, are to-
day found under the leadership of
the Trade Union Unity League.
The T.U.U.L. with it's affiliated
unions and revolutionary groupings
in various trades are the only or

PARTY LEE
Organizing
Orr Vote in
the Election
BY MORRIS H. POWERS

Communist Candidate for Con-
gress in Philadelphia)
THE question of securing a large
L vote for the Communist Party
in November is not a matter Of
agitation only. Leaflets, posters,
signs and open-air meetings may
create general sentiment amongst
the workers for support of our
Party; however, it is a fact that
many very active comrades and
Party members will be unable to
vote in November, because of negli-
gence in failure to place their
names on the assessors list some
weeks ago. This cannot be con-
sidered a matter of negligence, but
it shows general under estima-
ton on the part of even Party
members of the significance of Sc
curing large Communist vote in
November and generally to par
ticipate in revolutionary parlia-
mentary struggle. This negligence
is far greater amongst the non
Party people; therefore, 1t becomes
the job of the Party to not only
agitate, and then depend on
spontaneous turnout of worker
voters, but to rather organize our
vote in each block, division and
ward. How is this to be done?
Some experience in this connection
can serve as basis for carrying
through this work into practice.

Answer


Answer
The following extracts FIR m
Lenin's article on Socialism and
Religion state clearly the Com
munist Party's position on this
question. The full article and
other articles by Lenin on that
subject are included in pamphlet
called Religion" published by the
International Publishers, 381 Fourth
Avenue, New York, NY, and which
can be purchased for 20 cents.
Religion" writes Lenin, is one of
the forms of spiritual oppression
which everywhere weigh upon the
masses who are crushed by contin-
uous toll for others, by poverty and
deprivation. The helplessness of all
the exploited in their struggle
against the exploiters inevitably
generates belief in a better life
after death, even as the helpless
ness of the savage in his struggle
with nature gives rise to belief in
gods, devils, miracles, etc.
Religion teaches those who toll
in poverty all their lives to be re-
signed and patient in this world
and consoles them with the hope
of reward in heaven -.
"Our Party is league of class
conscious, progressive fighters for
the liberation Of the working class.
Such league cannot and must not
be Indifferent to ignorance or be-
Indebtedness in the shape of reli-

tire separation of the State from

EXPERIENCES IN
PHILADELPHIA

In Section 9, in Philadelphia, on
a certain block where the Party has
developed some good activity
amongst the non-Party workers,
Party members were called and
asked how many to their knowl-
edge will vote Communist on that
block. After thinking the matter
over carefully, the comrades reply
was that there we're four votes for
our Party on that particular block.
We Immediately asked the COM
rades to call in these four workers
who promised to vote Communist.
The workers were called in, and we
explained to them that it is our
purpose to organize the workers in
the block for the elections. 1t was
brought out by non-Party mem
bers that total vote on that block
was not four but thirteen. We then
made list of all the thirteen.
WE elected captain for that
w block who went out and in less
than a half hour visited every one
of the thirteen and reported how
many of them failed to register
last month. Many of the workers
were unable to pay their 25 cents
for registration. Workers, who had
jobs, were approached on this
question of covering the 25 cents
tax for others that we're unem-
ployed. They responded gladly
and so every vote in the block was
assured for our Party in November.
1t was then further decided to
check up on the votes on the other
parties. We found four workers on
the block voting Socialist, several
Democrat Discussing the matter,
we came to an agreement to call
house meeting of the Socialist and
Democrat voters who were work
ers in private home, to arrange
a house affair where the platform
of our Party will be discussed,
where efforts will be made to win
them over to vote Communist. 1t
was further decided that the voters
donate a few cents each, so that
the entire block will be covered
with Party Election Campaign plat
forms,

MORE FUNDS NEEDED
FOR CAMP GRASS|CK
Proceeds From Competitive
Vaudeville Will be Donated
to Free Bed Fund

With the sum Of approximately
a, 400 to be raised by July II Camp
Grassick, children's fresh air camp
at Dawson is to operate on the usual
schedule this summer, an appeal for
more funds Is being made through
out the state by the North Dakota
tuberculosis association.
Counties, organizations and In
dividuals are being asked for gener-
Gus donations for the free bed fund,
which permits children whose parents
are unable to bear the cost to attend
the camp free. Clubwomen are Pied
ging varying amounts and are giving
further assistance by interesting civic
bodies and fraternal groups In the
camp.
Fear that it will become necessary
to close the camp before the summer
is over because of lack of funds was
expressed by Miss Helen Katen. Sec
rotary Of the tuberculosis association,
who states that the free bed fund
amounts to $102 at the present time.
II the camp cares for all the chill
dren which can be Accommodated dur
ing the season, q working fund Of
$4,000 is required, she said.
Last year 107 children from 20
counties were given the fresh air
treatment, with the result that the
average gain per child was 6 pounds.
Children were from 2 to 80 pounds
underweight when they arrived at
camp. Miss Katen said. Because Of
existing conditions there will be an
even greater need for this type Of
service this year, It was pointed out.
Funds to maintain the camp are
procured by means Of the Christmas
Seal sale, which to date has netted
$18,513.57, the least obtained since
1924. In 1880 the seal sale brought In
26,168.77 and approximately this
amount has been raised each year
since 1926.
