Toward Revolutionary Mass Work HS M f2Sv 9
Guidance in Shop Work-Thru Personal Contact
BY BURCR

the factories and in many cases, even our own
comrades are opposed to factory work, not SO
much because they are opposed to the line Of
the Party, but rather because we have failed to
show them how to carry on the work, and at
the same time to maintain their jobs. The ex-
periences that we have had in our District in
some of the important shops should prove con-
signed for full time work to one another fac
tory. In addition to that the District Committee
must review the situation in the particular fac
tories as often as possible in order to prepare
the next step for the mobilization of the workers
In order to see that the shop nuclei, the union
groups that may exist, should not enter stage
of stagnancy, but have before them activities
to which the workers will respond.
Our district will not be able to make the turn
unless we take seriously this question of shop
work, and go out of the District Convention with
the consciousness in the minds of every comrade
that this work is the basic work of our Party
and that our activities must be centered around
this work.
When we speak of guidance it should not be
guidance in the sense of paper instruction,
because every factory has different problems,
different tasks. Our guidance should be through
personal contact, through personal help and in
that way we will be able to solve the many is
sues that arise in the various shops and mobilize
the workers around our shop nuclei for struggle
In one word, to really make the shop nucleus the
real leader of the workers inside the factories

How the Illinois Miners Can Defeat
the Wage Cut

struggle against the growing rank and file move
ment against wage-cuts. In this respect they
are very active in attempting to prevent the
miners from turning the lockout into a strike
and defeat the wage-cut.
1.-THE Illinois Miner official organ Of the
U.M.W.A., District No H. Illinois, carries with
friendly remarks the resolution adopted by the
American Legion of Illinois, which calls for the
setting up of an arbitration board which Is to
approach the question of wage-cuts in the
spirit of compromise The American Legion
proposes the arbitration board cut the wages and
that "the board Of arbitration should be COM
posed OF parties outside Of either organization
(meaning miners and operators) and among its
members should be prominent professors OF
economics, judges and businessmen" In short,
the American Legion proclain1s its readiness to
help the coal operators to put over the wage-cut
by an arbitration board and the officialdom OF
the U. M. w, A. endorses this by printing this
resolution In the illinois Miner" with friendly
remarks towards the contents Of the resolution
which is headed: Legion urges miners and coal
operators TO settle by conference
Against this plan of breaking the resistance
OF the miners. against wage-cutS, the miners
must mobilize the maximum of their energy TO
defeat it under the demands of turning the
lockout into strike, by electing strike commit
tees in every local union and every niine, under
the SLOGAN and demand to defeat thu wsscreUt

BY BILL GEBERT
THE Illinois coal operators on April 1 declared
L lockout against the miners in Illinois,
closing the mines and throwing out of work
about 10000 part-time employed miners, which,
together with unemployed miners previously
thrown out of jobs, is over $1,000 miners, and
their families in the coal fields of Illinois are
actually starving There is no relief given to
the miners in any adequate form. From time
to time some local union hands out bean Or
ders"-the Red Cross gives from time to time
sack of flour and this is about all the relief
that 5000 miners with their families receive at
the present time
The lockout of the Illinois miners is agreed
upon by the officialdom of the u. M w. A.,
headed by John Walker, accepting the lockout
the officials didn't do a thing to organize the
miners to turn the lockout into strike. They
went into the other direction, dividing the miners
by permitting some small mines to work on the
basis of the old wage scale permitting the coal
operators to fill their orders and therefore per-
hitting them to continue their lockout
The clear position Of the U. M. w. A. was ex-
pressed by John Walker in a speech at mass
meeting in, west Frankfort Illinois, in which he
declared Lord knows how it is going to come
out referring to the lockout OF the miners.
And, while this is the attitude towards the coal
operators John Walker, Lewis, EdmundSon and

Idaho Potatoes

From the Boise idaho Capital News" We
learn that Idaho is getting famous for other
things than big spuds. There is being organ
lied there Farmer Taxpayers League, and
gent named General Martin is making denla-
gogic speeches to the farmers about what ought
to be done.
This General was attorney general of the
state when Bill Haywood was kidnapped from
Colorado and the state of Idaho, with Senator
Borah as prosecuting attorney in the Haywood
case, tried to hang Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone, three leaders of the Western Federation
of Miners, on framed up murder charge Mar
tin at that time was not interested in reducing
farmers taxes by dsnissing the costly attempt
to carry out the murder of labor leaders for the
benefit of the Mine Owners Association
But now he is all hot for reduction of taxes.
So is Borah. But by firing a lot of school teach
ers and-take note-abolishing mine inspection.
We advise Idaho farmers not to fall for the
demagogs who talk for general tax reductions,
but to themselves fight for abolition of taxes
on small capital farmers, and increased taxes
all big capitalists rich farmers, railroad corp
orations and other exploiters.

not popularize enough, and we reach certain
point in the work where we do not know what
next to do. For instance comrade in large
textile shop involving 1000 workers stated: "You
will have to help us and tell us how to organize;
what to do, because few years ago we had
T.U.UL. group there that was broken up, and we
must approach the workers in a manner that
they will understand us and will respond to the
demands that we put forth"
What are some other reasons?
In the first place, in many instances, our COM
rades are only in one department of the fac
tory, and the work of the unit is carried on in
such manner, that we do not broaden our ac-
tivity, and we do not penetrate other depart
ments in the factory. Secondly, our comrades
fail to discuss with the workers at the bench the
issues that arise and the points which the work
ers may be interested in to carry on the struggle
We make our demands, not with the workers,
but more in spirit of 'for the workers. There
fore, in many instances, we put up demands
that the workers are not ready to fight for
We have not as yet learned how to even be-
gin to develop semi-legal methods of work in

and for adequate relief for the UNEMPLOYED
miners and minimum days work for the miners.
This is the central task confronting the minres
of Illinois.
While this is the central task of the miners
OF Illinois, the miners must fully recognize that
they can win these demands only when they will
defeat the Vaccinations of the Walker, Lewis Ed
mundson and others who are doing their utmost
to prevent the miners from developing struggles.
In Franklin County, the key coal-producing
county of Illinois, the miners are on the move
at the present Mass meetings are taking place
at which thousands of miners are attending
And the sentiment and spirit of these meetings
is reflected in the above stated demands. This
movement as yet is under the leadership of all
kinds Of takers. Edmundson it is true, is losing
some influence among the miners Neverthe-
less, as yet, he has quite support among some
sections OF the miners He is making speeches,
claiming that the Communist Party has mill
tant membership, but the leadership of the Party
is mo good" He follows the line of his political
advisor, the counter-revolutionary Trotskyite,
Jerry Allard, who has allied himself with the
American Legion and Walker machine who does
his share to put over the wage-cut Now Allard
is put by Walker on the payroll as head of the
relief committee. The miners can be sure that
as long Jerry Allard will be head of the relief

for the miners.
Pat Ansboury, former member Of the Illinois
District Board Of the U.M.w-A.. is trying to get
some influence over the miners by making rad
ical and even revolutionary speeches and speaks
about the united front Of all the miners. The
miners OF Illinois would like to know where Pat
Ansboury stands on the questions: ~ OF turn
ing the present lockout into strike and elect
ing strike committees? co Where Mr.. Ansboury
stands on the resolution of the American LegionP
90 Where Mr.. Ansboury stands on individual
contracts? "a Where Mr.. AnsboTy stands on
immediate relief for unemployed miners? 90
Where Mr.. Ansboury stands on the question of
John Walker and John Lewis? co Where MIR.
Ansboury stands on the question of defeat of
the wage-cuts? Cd Where Mr.. Ansboury stands
on social and unemployed insurance at the ex-
pense OF the bosses and the government?
These are vital problems confronting the min
ers And Pat Ansboury, although he generally
gives lip service to some Of these questions does
not raise a finger to do anything for these prob
lens. No one can sit on the side of the fence
OF the American Legion and the coal operators
and be with the miners who are on the other
side of the fence. Therefore, MIR. Ansboury, are

Mass Literature Mass Approach

OF believing that literature is the sole property
OF the Party members and nobody else One of
the means that we have to get out of our Sec
tartan position is that of mass distribution of
literature, of the reaching of outside workers
with our messages OF course this is a very gen.
eral and broad statement to make Now how
are we going to bring this down to the individual
Party member in his everyday life and workP
We understand that best contact is that
OF personal contact-solid personal contact with
individual workers. When we work next to
worker in shop, or when we belong to the same
union as the worker does, or in the same mass
organizations, or we live next door to him. the
best way in which to sum up our arguments and
our discussions is by leaving with him a PAM
phlet on that given topic that we are discussing
with him. This pamphlet in concrete terms, in
a much more capable manner than most of us
could finally gives the written words, the writ
ten summation of our arguments; and we must
not underestimate the tendency of the average
worker to believe in the printed word. This leav-
ing of the pamphlets with the individual worker;
the asking him the next time we meet him how
he liked 1t; the discussion of the pamphlet with
him makes for more solid personal contact
than before. This is what we believe the Plenum
Resolution meant by personal contact with the
workers
When We come in contact with workers who
nave received wage cut; with workers who
have had their relief cut down or denied alto
gether; when we come in contact with workers
who are working on the stagger system, or who
are unemployed altogether; when we come In
contact with workers who are ex-serWcemen,-
whatever the struggle Of these individual work.
ers, whatever their immediate problem with re-
lation to their bosses,-we have the literature
which will clarity them on their position in this
capitalist system. cg.... :. go 8.
The question OF unemployment is on every
workers mind. The fear of unemployment is in
every workers heart. What better than that of
distributing hundreds of thousands OF pamphlets
dealing with the unemployment question, deal
ing with unemployment insurance, dealing with
our immediate demands and the final solution

Cur" Noble Cops
By JORGE

A reader sends us a clipping Of the Spokane,
Washington Press" containing an account Of
the trial and conviction of Tom Lambert, a local
cop, on a charge of "Carnal knowledge" Of his
14-year old daughter. Our reader, we think,
draws a bit too heavy on his imagination in try
ing to find social significance in this more or
less common abnormality
Another clipping of more social meaning 1g
that sent us by Comrade T. M of San Fran
cisco, from the local News" relating that Po-
lice Captain John j. OMeara was pleasantly
surprised" when it was made public that Tes-
sic Wall notorious queen" of prostitutes In
Frisco's old Barbary Coast, had died, leaving
him $4,000 estate, consisting of flat buildings.
Il was Tessie's advisor in many Of her troub-
les" the Police Captain explained" "Her VIII
was probably her way of saying thank you for
the little favors I performed" Oh, how in
nocent are these cops of Frisco! Or New York;
Or Chicago! Or-anywhere!
Only, it happened that another cop Sergeant
Rhodes, only last February drew a 50 900 legacy
from Harry Muller, king" Of the underworld,
and known "fixer" for prostitutes and gamblers
Of course, the Chief of Police investigated"
the affair, and (no doubt having some "connec-
tons" himself dismissed the inquiry by saying
that the cop and the crook were "close friends
before Rhodes entered the department"
Compare this rather brazen friendship of GODS
with the underworld, to the friendship the
same cops show toward strikers then recall how
Hoover came out with public praise for the
police when his own appointed W1cSersssAx1
Commission reported that police everywhere
were brutal and lawless.
