THE bosses are overlooking nothing in their
4 attempt to develop the wave of political re-
action against the workingclass Particularly at
this time are they beginning more and more to
utilize the sport organizations under their con-
troll for strike-breaking, anti-labor purposes. In
America this is a relatively new thing In Ger
many, for instance, this process has reached
high stage of development. With the formal
dissolution Of the fascist Storm Troops the
physical backbone of the German fascists have
become their sport organizations, Of which they
have thousands. These sport organizations help
to broaden their base-among the youth In par
ticular.
In the United States the boss class has begun
more and more openly to use the sport organi-
cations under their control for their anti-labor
purposes. 1t is not our purpose to deal with
this at length in this article. We merely wish
to give few cases to prove the point.
Some Examples
Case No. LIN the fall of 1929 the militant
National Textile Workers Union was leading
strike at wooden mill in Leaksville, N. c. The
entire mill struck with the exception of the
company basketball team. They formed strike
breaking nucleus and helped to demoralze the
strike.
Case No. I'm 1881 there was strike Of
shirt workers in the Lesnow factory in New
Haven, Conn. Almost the entire mill struck
with the exception of the girls company team,
which scabbed.
Case No. BIN 1881 there was strike OF
dock workers in Duluth. The, local Y.M.C.A.
recruited strike breakers
Case No. 4.--On March 6, 1880, band of ath-
lstes from the University of Wisconsin we're
gotten together to break up the unemployment
demonstration held by the workers of Madison,
Wise, the neighboring town. These athletes. to-
gether with the local leaders of the American
Legion, etc., finally managed to break up the
peaceful demonstration 14E
Case No. 5.-Only few months ago militant
students who were on strike against the expui-
sion of Reed Harris at Columbia the editor
who supported the student delegation to Ken
lucky, were beaten and mauled by band of
the college athletes.
Case No. Elm the week preceding May /,
1890, Father Walsh, anti-Soviet liar par excel
lence, spoke at meeting of 500 ct the New
York Athletic Club, openly ling them TO
come down to Union Square to break up the
workers May l demonstration. CAS- it happened,
the N.Y.AC. members thought better Of 1t, re-
collecting no doubt, that the New York work.

By GERTRUDE HAESSLER-
COMRADES who have been touring the United
States recently for various organizations, and
especially those comrades who have penetrated
into the small industrial towns where we as yet
have no organizational contacts, report the
eagerness with which the workers listen to in
formation about the Soviet Union.
The rank and file workers, unclass-conscious,
inexperienced in the working-class movement,
nevertheless instinctively beginning to look upon
the Soviet Union as their fatherland. Although
many Of them do not yet realize that the revo-
lutionary way out Of the crisis Is the only way
for workers. yet they do feel that the Soviet
Union holds out a definite hope for them.
These workers, as well as those who are al
ready beginning to follow us organizationally,
look upon any pamphlet about the Soviet Union
as something to treasure. They are eager for
the information the pamphlet contains and are
willing to spend their few pennies for them.
Recently a whole series Of pamphlets about
various phases of life and activity in the Soviet
Union have been published by the Cooperative
Publishing Society Of Foreign Workers in the
USSR., and are being made available to the
workers in the United States by the Workers
Library Publishers. and by the Friends of the
Soviet Union. Three of them are dealt with
in this article and others will be described
within a short time.
where the Workers Are In Power"
This 58-page pamphlet by D. zaslavsky gives
a remarkable picture Of the Five-Year Plan in
the course OF its development. The contrast be-
tween declining capitalist economy and develop

ers had put up fairly good scarp on March 81.
The above are just few cases chosen ale
most at random. The above cases, however,
taken together with the vicious lingo and anti,
labor anti-Soviet propaganda with which most
of the boss controlled sports organizations reek.
show whole tendency. Ifany doubling Thomas
still feels skeptical the remarks of Avery Brund-
age, rich Chicago building contractor and pres
ident of the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States should quickly dispel his doubt.
Says Mr.. Brundage, in appealing to his fellow
capitalists for money for the American OlyIn-
pic team Chicago Tribune, 5-27-32):
at is remarkable that in this unprecedented
period of financial and industrial distress there
has been practically no disturbing disorder or
social unrest. Undoubtedly this is due in a
large measure to the training our boys and
girls have received the field of sports.
For this reason, if for no other our pro-
gram of amateur sport, with its high ideals
cBe good, loyal strike breakers G) and
with its lofty standards of sportsmanship,
merits the support of every patriotic citizen"
We are disposed to agree in some respects
with Mr.. Brundage. The capitalist-controlled
sports organizations, unfortunately, still have
great influence on the masses OF working youth.
For WORKERS Sports
1t should be clear to every militant worker
that it is necessary for us to have our own
workers sport organization. In the United States
this organization is the Labor Sports Union Of
America This organization should receive the
unqualified support of every understanding
which it doesn't as yet Workers should recruit
for it, particularly in their shops In every
shop there are workers who like sports. Tell
them about the L.S.U. Point out the difference
between a workers sport organization in which
workers actually have chance to develop them-
selves and the boss-controed organizations
where the masses of workers are sacrificed SO
that few stars may develop.
Particularly at this moment is 1t necessary
that workers support the International Workers
Athletic Meet to be held at Stage Field, Chi
cago. July 20, 80 and 81. This meet will be the
wind-up CT the Counter Olympic Campaign, led
by the Counter olympic Committee, the honor
airy chairman of which is Tom Mooney the
framed-up worker.
Workers = whether sportsrnen or not-should
give this meet their utmost support

think that we underestimate the influence
OF the Socialist Party press The Socialist Party
press in the District is larger than the COMMIT
mist Party press. In our District we have the
Leader in Milwaukee the Socialist Campaign
er" in Wisconsin, which is given away free. The
American Guardian" which is direct spokes-
man for the Socialist Party, is getting finances
and subs here in the city of Chicago and
throughout the district. We do not come in con-
tact with these activities in our every day life
and activity, and we feel and know that we are
the vanguard, and the Socialist Party are So
cial-fascists, and therefore we satisfy ourselves
with that knowledge The most we ever do is
make nice speech about it, but we do not de-
velop concrete forms of struggle to defeat So
al-fascism.
This direct activity OF the social fasciss--this
influence that they have through their press
direct organizations and indirect organizations
the influence which the Chicago Federation of
Labor has right here in the city of Chicago
where it is stronger proportionately than in
other cities of the country must not be under
estimated as at present And therefore we must
raise sharply, in connection with the breaking
of QUE isolation, the entire question of struggle
against social reformism and specifically against
the Socialist Party influence throughout the dis
trict. .&,i

HOW TT WAS DONE--A BLOCK
COMMITTEE BUILT
IN STRUGGLE

was not In but the story was related to the other
politicians. When these politicians saw the unity
and determination Of the white and colored
workers, they made promise to call on the
marshal and stop the eviction temporarily
When the committee returned it was close to II
o'clock, but the workers on the block waited to
hear the report.
The next evening an open-air meeting was
held Negro and white workers stood together
on the platform and called for unity and strug-
gle against this and all eviction of unemployed
families. -Four Negro and two white workers
spoke. vote was taken of "au those who were
ready to support Mrs Peterson in her fight
against the eviction" and all hands went up.
There were a few landlords present. When they
saw the unity of the workers, they were afraid
of it and also voted against the eviction. COM
nittee of eleven workers four white and seven
colored workers marched down to the alderman
of the district.
When the alderman saw the size and deter
mination of the committee, he made promise
that he would see to it that the eviction would
not take place. All the workers were very en-
thusastic and everyone realized that the alder
man took this step, not out of kindness, but
because of fear and pressure Of the block. Every
one realized that in the same way, through
unity, determination and struggle, many victor
les can be won by the workers.
Upon return to the block the entire commit
tee met. Everyone spoke up and declared him
self ready to build a strong block committee
which would, with the aid of the Unemployed
Council, defend and fight for the interests of
all the workers there. A chairman and secre-
tary we're elected. A committee was also elected
to draw up leaflet. A time was also set for
larger meeting, at which the block committee
would report on its work This meeting will be
held in large yard in the rear of one Of the
houses owned by the same landlady. Everyone
volunteered to canvas the houses on the block.
When we parted everyone was enthusiastic.
There was no trace of the suspicion which ex-
listed in the beginning. Everyone felt part Of
large family and expressed the desire to meet
again.
This shows that only on the basis Of struggle
can we build solid united front to overcome
the suspicion and build strong and united front
of Negro and white workers.

Learn to Answer Questions
of Workers in the Election
Campaign

THE collecting of signatures for placing Com
q rades Foster and Ford on the ballot pro-
vides us with an excellent opportunity of
learning to know the conditions and thoughts
OF the workers.
When the comrades collect signatures they
should never tire Of convincing the worker
why he should vote for our Party. Our six
main demands should be explained. We
should learn to listen patiently to every argu-
nnent of a worker, why he might be against
signing our petitions. why he hesitates. We
will also find workers who will sign, yet not
be ready to vote for our candidates, some
who viii even be sympathetic but not willing
to sign
We urge the comrades to send in their ex-
periences in collecting signatures, the ideas
and arguments of the workers that the COM
rades face and have to answer when they
collect signatures. The collective exchange
Of experiences will help to improve our agi-
tation. We will learn to know how to meet
the arguments of the workers.
If we will learn to know and ANSWER
the doubts and objections of the workers in
signing our petitions or voting for our candi-
dates we will improve our agitation and meth
DDS of struggle in the election campaign.
WE ASK THE COMRADES TO SEND IN
THE QUESTIONS PUT TO THEM BY
WORKERS SO THAT WE CAN ANSWER
THEM IN THE DAILY WORKER.
We also suggest that discussions be devel-
oped in the units on the experiences In coll
lecting signatures. This will help to develop
political life and initiative in the units. OF
course, 1t will help in improving our struggles
in the elections

TOWARD Revolutionary Mass Work Seg 4H 151Ezs19D
Sectarianisn and the Danger OF SocialFascism

OUR District has not reacted sufficiently to
the danger of Social-faScism and we have
not really exposed in our every day work, that
ial-fascisn1-that the influence of the Social
ist Party, and AFL bureaucracy and the Music
ites-is the main enemy which prevents us from
winning the decisive influence over the workers.
I call attention to the sentence in the resolution
OF the Central Committee which says as follows:
This confrOnts the Communist Party with
the task Of increasing, sharpening and improv-
ing its fight against social-fascism, as the main
enemy in the struggle for the successful mobil-
ization of the masses in the fight against the
bourgeois offensive and the war danger"
Deep in the ranks Of the Party this is not yet
felt and in my opinion we did not carry on any
real organized struggle against social-fascisrn
For instance, we have in our district varied
forms Of social-fascism: we have the Socialist
Party in wisconsin as not just a party in the
sense it is throughout the rest Of the country
but government party. In Milwaukee there is
not only Socialist mayor but the majority of
the city council; also in Racine, despite Swa-
boda's being expelled; and also only last month";
Socialist mayor was elected in West Allis
where the large metal plant of Allis- Chalmers
Is located. Then we have the variation of the
social-demag ogs-LaF GILLETTE, and in each part of
the district We find one or another expression
of this.
In the steel region of section six the Socialist
Party is now holding mass meetings and taking
up the struggles for the unemployed. In Indiana
and particularly Terre Haute, our movement is
in difficulties because of the influence of the
Socialist Party, conscious or unconscious in
side our ranks. Some of our own members
OF whom there are many good workers-stfll
have certain democratic illusions and influences
from their past in the Socialist Party. Others
very consciously inside the Party, are working
with outside bourgeois elements, preaching the
program of the Socialist Party and trying to
bring its influence into our Party. Our move
nent in Terre Haute is going through crisis
today which is brought about because of this
influence Of social-fascism inside the ranks OF
the Communist Party in Terre Haute. This ex-
