Get Out Papers In the Face of Terror
Situation
If Noske and seyering

of Noske, and SeVering
Rise of Illegal Communist Papers.
The constant persecution of thu
legal daily papers soon compelled the
German Communists to issue a num-
Der of illegal papers, which circulated
in the periods of suppression of the
legal papers. A few weeks after the
founding of the "Rote Fallne" there
arose alongside Of it the illegal CEN
trail "Rote Sturmfahne. (Red Storm
Flag0 In addition to this there APP
peared, under various names, small
courageous papers which carried the
idea of Communism into the ranks
of the working people.
In time newspapers i'll the different
works and factories, as well as the
so-called street cell newspapers"
also began to appear All these pap
ers were published directly either by
the Party Committee or Trade Union
Committee or other revolutionary
mass organizations. Many German
workers have in this way got an in
sight into the running of newspaper.
In the majority of cases the illegal
factory newspapers were produced by
the workers themselves.
Whilst in every period since the
November revolution the Communist
press in all its forms was subjected
to the sharpest persecution, the So
cial-democratic papers and the trade
union papers connected with them
enjoyed unrestricted freedom. The
social democratic press did every
thing that lay in its power in order
to Illustrate the united front of the
working class and to disorganize the
fight against fascism. Even after
the seizure of power by the national
socialists and after the development
of the fascist terror, the Social-dem-
ocratic papers advocated reconcile
alton with the government which
had let loose this terror. In fact,
the venslity of the German social
democracy knows no bounds.
Tasks Of the Communist Press.
Speaking of the tasks Of the press,
both legal and illegal, Lenin de-
scribed their role as being educators
and organizers of the masses for the
class struggle, and specially empha-
sized the Importance of the worker
correspondents movement. The cor
rectness OF Lenin'S views can be seen
today in Germany, where, thanks to
the powerful worker correspondents
movement, the Party still possesses
| the main stsff of editors and con-
tributors to the illegal press. And,
thanks to them, we have in Hitler
Germany dozens of papers which
meet the heavy demands which are
placed upon the proletarian press.
Our Russian comrades have had
great experience, especially in issu-
ing illegal papers. The Soviet press,
the powerful worker correspondents
movement in the Soviet Union, will
furnish the best example of how the
victory of the proletarian revolution
! and Communism must be achieved.

The second convention of the In
ternational Workers Order will open
on June II, 1888. That will conclude
two years since our first convention
was held. During these two years
our organization has acquired def
mite shape and character. In fra
ternal movements, as well as in the
Labor Movement in general, its role
has been cast.
Our first convention of two years
ago wrote an important chapter in
the history of our organization.
That convention was held but one
year after the International Workers
Order was established It's task was
to sum up the results of the long
struggle waged in the Workmen's
Circle and Independent Wor,men'5
Circle, and also to consolidate our
forces. That tas.; was successfully
accomplished by our first Convection.
Our Position on the Eve of Orr
Second Convention
AT the organizing conference, held
al the end OF March, 1881, we started
with membership of approximately
5000. At the first convention of the
International Workers Order, which
opened on May 20, 1881, our mem
bership registered over 1000 On
the 18th of June. 1888, when our sec
ond convention will tai-c place. our
ranks will number more than $4,000
members. That means that since
May, 1881, our membership will have
triplod. Had we succeeded in con-
GLIDING the process of amalgamating
the Russian Sick Benefit Society
with the I. w. o., we should be
arriving at our convention with a
membership of nearly $4,000.
Even if we discount the more than
10000 members of the Hungarian and
Slovak Sections that amalgamated
with us, we can still count on a net
growth of nearly 1000 members since
our last convention. 1t must be re-
membered that during the past two
years we we're forced TO suspend 6,744
members ineluding between 1000 and
1900 members who left for the Soviet
Union so That from the date OF our
FIRST convention until today we actu-
ally enlisted $4,000 new members.
These are telling figures, indicating
the activity Of our organization, They

In picture painted by the great
French artist Dsumier, the bourgeois
press is portrayed as prostitute
whom anybody can buy for money.
If we examine the bourgeois press of
our time we see that the actual facts
are fully in accordance with the pic
ture drawn by the gifted French art
list. The bourgeois press of Germany
has sunk so low and engages in glor-
flying the fascist regime to such an
extent, that Hitler and Goebbels
rightly fear that the disgust of the
readers might put a premature end
to the useful work which this press
is rendering in the service of fas-
cism. For this reason they have ar
ranged for one or two newspapers to
make opposition.
Hitlers seizure of power conceded
with the ruthless persecution Of the
proletarian press in Germany. A few
weeks before the official appointment
Of Hitler as Reich Chancellor, the
whole of the Communist Press was
suppressed, the Communist printing
works closed and condscated.
The prohibition Of our press left
the way open for fascist lies and
ISLANDERS, which carried the poison Of
demagogy into the ranks of the toll
ers. Our Party was, however (this
must be admitted already sufficient
ly prepared in order to replace the
legal press by fairly strong illegal
press, which could explain to the
working population the meaning of
events and help the Party to fight
under the new conditions.
The Illegal "Rote Fahne."
1t was only after the fire in the
Reichstag. when the first illegal num-
Der of the ''Rote Fahne" appeared,
that every revolutionary worker fully
realized what he had lost by the
prohibition of the legal "Rote Fahne".
The distribution of 100000 copies OF
the illegal "Rote- Fahne", although it
means imprisonment for anybody
found in possession of a copy, best
shows the Importance which the Ger
man workers attach to their rerolu-
tionary press.
In spite of its numerous short
conlings, the Communist press has
done much in the last fourteen years
of it's existence to propagate Conn.,
munist ideas, to consolidate the
Party organizationally, and to in
crease and lead the class struggle
of the proletariat All this is especi-
ally true of the "Rote Fahne", the
central organ of the Communist
Party of Germany. the oldest Com
munist newspaper in Germany. Right
from the first day of its existence the
"Rote Fahne" was the object of the
most bitter hatred of all counter
revolutionary clements. No matter
what government was in power, the
'Rote Fahne" was always the first
to be prosecuted by continual prohi
billions and confscations. For as re-
CARDS the suppression of our organ

The International Character Of
Our Organization
One of the most important chapters
written by the I. w. o. into the his
tory of the fraternal movement IN
general and of our organization in
particular, is the fact that we have
succeeded, during the past two years,
in Transforming our organization into
an International Workers Order, in
the true sense of the word.
ave years ago, at our first conven-
tion we were mainly an organization
of Jewish workers. We counted in our
ranks a few English and Italian
branches, merely as decoration.
There were few branches in other
languages. and the beginning of
youth section At the coming conven-
ton our Jewish section will occupy an
important place, it is true cit has
grown from 10000 to $4,000 members,
but it will constitute minority men,
bership Of our organization. We now
have the Hungarian and Sloyak Sec
tions, numbering 5000 members each.
There is a Urainian section in our
organization of over 1000 members.
which is expected to reach the con-
vention with it's ranks swelled to
about 500. There is an Italian sec
ton with 5000 members. We suc-
cceded in building up a Polish section
which already has a membership Of
400 a Rumanian section with 900
members, two Spanish branches, and
a branch each of Greek, Lettish,
Macedonian, German and Czecho-
Slovak. Each of these single branches
has begun a campaign to organize re-
spective language sections in the I.
w. o.
We can point with pride to our
youth section, which has reached a
membership of more tina LOO, and to
the recently organized children's Sec
ton, which contemplates arriving at
our convention one thousand skong.
Our English section, which is still
quite weak has a membership Of
more than 500,
These figures comprising the MEM
bership of our organization, fully JUS
tify our claim that the International
Workers Order is the only fraternal
organization in the United States
built on real International lines,

has grown in the past two years, so
that it is in a position to fulfill its
fraternal obligations to the member
ship in a more adequate manner than
the old fraternal orders. At our first
convention, the entire capital Of our
organization amounted to $51 ,571.43.
Today, our organization possesses a
cauital of nearly s500,000 Naturally,
this sum includes the capital trans
ferred to the organization by the
Hungarian and Sloyak sections.
Our Role in the Labor Movement
The role played by our orrganiza-
ton in the labor movement undoubt-
edly has been one of the main factc-.
in its growth. Two years ago, we were
compelled repeatedly to remind our
membership that the growth of our
organization depended entirely upon
the connection of its activities with
the camrsigns of the general labor
movement. Now. two years later. it
can be. readily seen that this line has
justified itself Every phase of our
activities for the past two years has
emphasized the Importance of that
stand
In this article it will not be possible
to give detailed analysis Of the part
played by the l. w. o. in the cam
paigns and struggles of the workers
in the United States. One point, how
ever, must be stressed. Our psrticipa-
tion in the general activities of the
labor movement has increased in pro-
portion to the growth of our organi-
cation, 1t is sufficient to point to the
part played by the I. W, o. in the
campaign against pogroms and Fas-
cisn1 in Germany. A large number of
city and district committees through
out the country have carried forward
the slogans of the National Executive
Committee and have developed an ex-
tensive movement for a United Front
action. In this campaign, our organi-
zation has acted with a speed and
effectiveness which contrasted sharp
ly with the period when considerable
sections of our membership main
tanned that our organization devote
itself mainly to fraternal problems,
that we would be unable TO place our
selves in the vanguard Of the move
ment and that our organization could,
at best. be only an auxiliary and fol-
low others

EXPULSION FIGHT

TEACHERS HEAD
Linville, of Teachers
Union, Local 5, Votes
Against Struggle

NEW YORK Immediate action
in defense of Isidore Begun and Mrs.
Wilhana Burroughs, the teachers
who were suspended from the New
York City school system, was post
poned for week at meeting of the
new Delegate Assembly of the Teach
ers Union, Local 5, of the A. F. Of T.
A vote to take action at this meet
ing on Mr.. Blumberg, expelled teach
Ell, resulted in a tie. DR.. Linville, the
president Of the union, cast the de-
Gliding vote against doing so.
Active in Scottsboro Defense
The suspension of Mr.. Begun and
Mrs. Williana Burroughs, Negro
teacher who has been active in Hsr-
lem in the fight to save the Scots
boro boys, was ordered by the Board
Of Education following their vigor-
Gus defense of Blumberg at the open
hearing on May "A. At this meeting,
Dr.. Ryan, president of the board and
big real estate man., tried to stop
all protest against the frame-up of
Blumberg by calling two emergency
police trucks to the scene Before the
opening of the meeting, armed plain
clothes men and a detachment of
police under a sergeant had been
planted in the Board room. At the
storm of protest that arose from the
400 teachers and parents who were
angered by Ryans suppression of
Mrs. Burroughs when she courag-
eouSly attempted to halt the rail-
reading of Blumberg's expulsion the
extra police who had been waiting
outside were called in.
Try to Crush Resistance
All thrae teachers have been &C
tive in the leadership of the fight
against wage-cuts, and for better
school conditions.
This is the opening of campaign
OF the Board OF Education to stamp
out all resistance among the teach
ers to the coming attacks on the well
fare Of the children as well as the
lowering OF the living conditions of
teachers. Transfers of teachers, sus-
pensions and explosions from the
system are the ways in which the
Board of Education is carrying out
the orders of The bankers who are
squeezing the city for more and more
profits at The expense Of the chill
dren and The employees of the city.

THE capitalist press is now making
1 desperate attempts to white-wash
the eager government officials who
we're standing under the Morgan

And they were being slaughtered
to protect the profits Of the Morgans.
But little Junius Morgan didn't go
