PRAISES EXPOSURE.


Dear Editor: Congratulations to
the research organization, or indi-
vidual comrades, who detected the
Socialist political fraud in the AMIR
lean Freeman. Excellent work, COM
rades. 1t is becoming clearer every
day that the Socialists betray the
interests of the workers and poor
farmers. Such outrageous tricks as
the one exposed in today's Daily
Worker will not mislead the sincere
workers if you keep wide awake and
expose them.
I hope that all workers come to
realize, as I did recently that an en-

every possible action must be TAX

munitions, but the national exec

at the dock gates. They distributed
thousands of leaflets and hundreds

contacts with longshoremen at the

1t was hard work. There were no
immediate results. 1t must often

must have seemed hum drum work,
too. But all the time the ground
was being prepared for one Of the
most effective and dramatic acts
Of International solidarity.
For when a full cargo of NUM-
tions labeled for Poland were
brought to the Jolly George at the
East India dock, the longshoremen
knew what 1t was all about and
knew what their working class
duty was. Not only were they pre-

Dear Comrades
The August first demonstration al
though very impressive, struck me
as poorly organized. The public ad-
dress system was not heard at a
great distance. AS a result the ma
jority of the workers were unable to
hear the speakers and formed small
groups so that the demonstration
soon took the appearance of a picnic
with buzz Of conversation in the
air. This made the conditions much
worse and the orators aside from the
main platform could be heard only
by small groups. The defect could
have been easily remedied. if the
leaders of the demonstration would
have seen the necessity of inpressing
upon the workers AFFILIATED with the
left wing organizations to keep order
which would have allowed a much
greater number of workers unafili-
ated with us to listen to the orators.
Then, If going to the expense of get
ting a public address system, why
not get good one which would have
permitted the workers all over Union
Square not only to watch but also
to listen and there were thousands
Of them standing apart from the
demonstration.
I would also suggest that we have
more placards on the style Of do
not let the Scottsboro Boys die and
where Hoover is pictured as a pirate.
They are much more impressive than
the small placards and can be seen
at greater distance.

hours, but frequent time, es-
pecially in the foundry, often
stretched the day even longer.
Dixon was a shrewd business
man, who served Singers interests
quite we'll. Utilizing the latest
methods for speeding up labor and
increasing it's output he, kept wag-
es at minimum, and SO profits
scared. While his spies were &C
tive among the workers, seeking
for "agitators", and even those who
dared utter the slightest complaint,
Dixon endeavored to establish
himself in the eyes of his employ
ess as a benefactor, by much ciS-
play of small favors and by giving
premiums at Christmas and Ea-
ster.
SILVER SEWING
MACHINES.
Deliberately he set about build
ing up a small labor aristocracy
from among the foremen and skill
ed workers, and making them de-
pendent on the firms favor. To
them he made loans of a thousand
or fifteen thousand roubles, for
them to build houses. For, as he
said openly, IF you want to make
men conservative, give them some
thing to conserve" These loans he
rarely asked back, but used them
for pressure, keeping his foremen
indebted and fithful to the scom-
pany The majority of the workers
he scornfully ignored. For them
not one house was built, they were
left to find huts like Fecdor or
rent corners" of rooms, like An
drce and his family, and to worry
over making ends meet, the best
they could.

Dear Comrades:
Six picslics held in Chicago did not
have one copy of the Daily Worker
on sale. Three open air meetings in
Section 3 did not have one copy of
the Daily Worker on sale. Section 8
Election Campaign Committee has
not made arrangements as yet for
one copy of the Daily Worker to be
sold at meetings.
This situation is prevalent through
out all the sections in Chicago, and to
a great extent among the language
organizations.
These startling facts account for
many of our other shortcomings.
We still fail to realize the truth of
Lenin's statement that "the Party
press is a collective agitator as we'll
as a collective organizer"

TWO OF THE
OLD GUARD

Over bowls of steaming soup
they begin relating their stories.
$50 you want to hear what it was
like when your American capitalist,
Singer, ran the works.? And how
we workers took over the plant?
Between then and now, much has
happened! Well, it was this way"
This plant was built by Singer,
we learn, in 1901. In its early years
temployed about 1900 workers,
expanding by the time of the world
war to force of 1000. Feodor, al
ready skilled metallist, came to
the plants foundry to work in
1906.
He had left Petersburg, after the
defeat of the 1905 revolution, and
the reaction had set in. Bringing
with him his wife and seven chill
dren, his family lived crowded to-
gether in a small, one room hut
across the bridge, on the outskirts
of the small town. Dixon, Singers
manager, was importing many
peasants from the village as a
source of Cheap, plant labor,
and conditions were very hard.
"But we couldn't say a word" Eco
dor explained, "all that Dixon al
lowed was work, and more work"
Among the peasants brought in
was Andree, a seasonal worker
from Nizflni Novgorod. He was put
to shovelling up the sand and
cleaning up the foundry, working
eleven and twelve hours a hight
for the paltry sum of one rouble
and thirty kopecks (65 cents. The
day shift was supposed to work ten

Editorial Comment:

Editorial Comment:
This workers criticism shows the
undertaking of workers of the i'm
portance of the press.
The party committees in all dis
tricts think last of all of promoting
the Daily Worker. This task is as
signed to a Daily Worker agent and
he is allowed to shift for himself.
Few districts, for example here
realized the importance of spread
ing the Daily Worker issues carry
ing the vet fight. The value Of the
Daily as mass agitator is being
ignored. This is sectarianism of
the first water. 1t is time for the
Districts organizations, sections and
units to back more completely the
drive to the Daily.-Editorial.

FOR A U. S. Jolly
GEORGE" ACTION.

The rank and file of the London
transport workers, however, are
once more organizing for action on
their own-against the labor bu-
reaucrats, against the shipowners,
against the capitalist authorities.
But this time they have the help
of Communist movement which
has recently tripled in strength,
and the help of a revolutionary
opposition movement within the
unions which is preaching and or
ganizing independent action by the
rank and file of labor.
The "Dockland Leader, publish
ed by the Communist Dock Groups,
regularly prints the names and
places and dates of sailing of all
ships suspected of transporting
munitions; thousands of leaflets
are being distributed; mass meet
ings are held at dock gates and
elsewhere; and the Dockers' Mi
nority Movement is organizing the
fight against imperialist war at the
same time as it fights wage-cuts,
speed-up and layoffs.
The militant lockers of London
want to know what the American
longshoremen and other transport
workers are doing to prevent the
shipment of munitions. A Jolly
George" incident in the United
States would tell the mthe story in
the best possible way.

NOT FIRST
TIME.
It would not be the first time
that London lockers Gas the long
shoremen are called here) have
made history in their defense Of
the Soviet Union against imperial
ist attack.
In 1920-as now-the capitalist
powers of the world were ready to
jump at the threats of the victo-
rious Russian working class. AM
nunition was being shipped to the
Polish militarists for use against
the Soviet Union. The capitalist
class Of England, France and other
countries were carefully watching
their Norkers-to see how far they
could go with provocation and
armed attack on the Soviets with
out provoking mass resistance at
home. And it was the longshore-
men of Jolly George" fame who
struck blow that gave pause to
every inperialist power.
This Is how 1t happened: NUM-
lions were being shipped to Poland
with the tacit consent of the Brit
ish government. The leaders of the
Trades Union Congress (corre-
spending to the A. F. of L. in
Arnerica) gave no sign of action to
prevent these shipments. The i'm
perialist war mongers, gaining
courage daily at the apparent pass
ivity Of the workers, increased the
volume OF their shipments.

How the British Workers Stopped

rather, now the anti-Soviet front
has been widened to the extent
that nearly every inperialist power
is shipping munitions to some point
or other in a world struggle against
the victorious Soviets of the us.
SIR. and China and against the re-
voting colonial peoples.
Once more the London lockers
are preparing to do their working
class duty. Your correspondent has
just returned from a meeting of
several hundred lockers in Step
ney, which was addressed by Harry
Pollitt, Communist leader. In the
chair was the same Fred Thomp-
son who, as London organizer of
the Dockers' Union, played lead
ing part in the stopping of the
jolly George.
In the discussion at this and
other East End meetings (and
there is usually much more dis
cussion at British workers meet
ings than at those in America) the
rank and file longshoremen and
other transport workers showed
their alertness to what is going on.
In increasing numbers they are
realizing that they cannot rely
upon the trade union and Labor
Party bureaucrats to give them any
lead in the fight against war-any
more than in the fight to maintain
their wages and working condi-
lions.
The same Ernest Bevin, who as
leader of the Transport and Cen
eral Workers Union was forced to
approve the action of the jolly
George dockers-after the rank
and file had taken action, of course
today declares in open meetings
that he will not ask the London
lockers to stop transporting nau-
nitions.
