The Allies of the American
Working Class

THE fact that great masses of the petty bour-
i geoisie and particularly poor and ruined farm
ers are getting into action, the right sectarian
failure to understand such movements, as ex-
pressed in the stand of leading comrades against
participation in the veterans movement, and the
opportunist tendencies to succumb to the lnflu-
ence of petty bourgeois views (the report of
&C member about the activity of Party organ
zation in the Pittsburgh coal district IN connec-
ton with the preparation of the struggle of the
miners for April LIST: "They forgot 10000 miners
who are ready to struggle. In order not to offend
the feelings of the business people, they forgot
about the militancy of the minersO all these
factors make it urgently necessary for the Party
to take clear stand with regard to the allies OF
the proletariat in order to win these allies and
to protect itself against errors and deviatlons.

by sympathetic actions on the part of the work

active support from the unemployed.

The Hegemony of the Proletariat

THE most important allies of the American
| working class are the poor and small farmers.
These farmers as well as broad sections OF the
middle farmers, are hardest hit by the whole
development of postwar capitalism and especially
nv the economic crisis and are most brutaly ex-
plotted by the government, by the banks, by the
trusts and the insurance companies. Their inter-
ests are consequently directed effectively against
finance capital
Tn this situation the main task of the Party
in it's work among these toers consists above
all in the organization of the agricultural workers
independently of the farmer in organizing them
into the Party and trade unions, IN organizing
and leading strikes of the agricultural workers,
which in many places already played an lmpor-
tant role in the development of the farmers
movement. At the same time the Party has the
possibility of mobilizing not only the poor and
small farmers, but also broad sections of ruined
middle farmers, for the struggle against capital
ism on the side of the proletariat, while at the
same time it can neutralize other sections OF
middle farmers The winning of broad
masses of farmers as allies Of the working class
is an important prerequisite for successful
struggle against the offensive of capitalism,
against fascism and for the defense OF the Soviet
Union, and finally for the victory OF the probe
tariat.
THE other important ally of the American pro-
letariat is to be found is the masses OF
Negroes in the struggle against national oppres-
sion The Communist Party, as the revolutionary
party of the proetariat, as the only party which
is courageously and resolutely carrying on a
struggle against the national oppression OF the
Negroes which is becoming particularly intense
with the developing crisis as shown by the recent
death sentence against the Scottsboro Negroes
win over the great masses of Negroes as allies
of the proletariat against the American bourge-
oise. The Party can stand at the head of the ma
tional revolutionary struggle of the Negro masses
against American imperialism only if it energet-
icaly carries through the decisions of the XIV
Plenum of the &C on work among Negroes The
Party must mobilize the masses for the struggle
for equal rights of the Negroes and for the right
of self-determnation for the Negroes in the

Black Belt It must ruthessly combat any form
of white chauvinism and Jim Grow practices. 1t
must not only in words but in deeds overcome all
obstacles to the drawing in of the best elements
of the Negro proletariat, who in the recent years
have shown themselves to be self-sacrificing
lighters in the struggle against capital. In view
of this, special attention must be given to the
promotion of Negro proletarians to leading work
in the Party organizations. In all mass actions,
strikes and unemployed struggles the Party must
pay particular attention in formulating practical
demands, it takes into consideration and gives
expression to the special forms of exploitation,
oppression and denial of the rights of the en-
ployed and unemployed Negro masses. At the
same time the Party and in the first place the
Negro comrades must genuinely improve the
methods of patient systematic but persistent
struggle against the theology and influence of
petty bourgeois nationasts among the Negro
workers and toiling Negro masses.
1T is possible also to win to the side of
L the workers. or at least to neutralize broad
sections of the lower petty bourgeoisie and in
tellectual workers in the cities who have been
brought into action as result of the tremen-
dous pressure of the crisis employees lower

will come out resolutely in defense of their an
terests teachers strikes, students demonstra-
lions, resistance to reduction of salaries of en-
/ ployees, to robbery through initiation and bank
crashes etc.).
DUT the one way for the proletariat to secure
and maintain its hegemony is for it to prove
in all struggles that it is the vanguard the
leader, that strikes most courageously against
the common enemy, namely, finance capital.
There is no other way to win hegemony. An
absolutely necessary but AUXILIARY means
toward this end is the winning of the influence

is the leading class, and the broad masses of
the petty bourgeoisie in the towns and in the
rural districts are its allies in the struggle
against the bourgeosie. To ignore this task
means effectively to impede the proletariat in
the winning of reserves and thus make it easier
for the bourgeoisie to recruit fascist gangs from

THE IMMEDIATE TASKS OF THE PARTY
THE Party is now faced with the task OF or
1 ganizing the united struggle of the Ameri-
can workers and all toiling masses for their
vital immediate demands This includes:
/. The organizing of struggles against d.
rect wage cuts and the reduction OF real wages
through initiation, for increase of wages,
against every form of the stagger plan, for
reduction of working hours with no reduction
in pay.
g. Closely linked up with the mobilization
against the wage cut offensive is the campaign
for the organizing of the struggle OF the un-
employed and part-time workers for lmmedl-
ate relief, and the organization of the struggle
for UNEMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL IN
SURANCE at the expense of the government
and the employers. of the greatest importance
at the present time is the task OF developing

The Danger of Farmer LH''0rism

IF the Party intensifies it's activity among the
L petty bourgeois masses without at the same
time and above all strengthening its basis in
the big factories and among the most lmpor-
tant sections of the American working class,
but this base even having become weaker-as
expressed in such facts the leaving of the
majority Of the strikes to the leadership of the
reformists, the decline of the factory nuclei
the unfavorable development of the revolution
airy trade unions and the decline of circulation
of the DAILY WORKER-THEN THE DAN
GER ARISES that the Party, having only
weak contacts with the decisive section of
American workers, will be driven away from
it's proletarian base and instead Of leading the
petty bourgeois masses will succumb to the IN
fluence of petty bourgeois sentiments, illusions
and petty bourgeois methods of work. The
root of this danger lies in the sum total of OBJ
jective conditions created by the crisis, and In
the Relationship of class forces
In spite of the rapid revolutionary advance,
the work of the revolutionary Party, as we'll
as the class consciousness of the American
proletariat is still weak, while at the same
time the movement among the farmers and the
movement among the petty bourgeois elements
are rapidly spreading. If the Party does not
further make turn to the work in the large
factories and does no., organize strike move
ments and movements of the unemployed If 1T
does not strengthen its proletarian base and
build up the revolutionary trade union move
ment then the danger exists that the Party,
under the elemental pressure of the petty
bourgeois masses, especially the masses of
farmers will be switched to the wrong track,
in the direction of Farmer-Labor Party. The
Farmers Conference lin Washington was, IN
spite of it's mistakes great success, and
marked the beginning of serious work among
the farmers which. must be carried out most
theoretically but in more correct and I'M
proved way. But the Party must now bend all
its efforts to carry out the work among the IN
dustrial workers in such a way that the Party
will make decisive HEADWAY among the in
dustrial workers. and thus make impossible ALL

Silk Strikers Solid
In Scranton; Protest
20 Percent Pay Cut

SCRANTON, Pa. The strikers
from the Elite Silk Mill, who have
been out since June 10, held their
first meeting with all 200 strikers
present on Saturday. A rumor, cal
culated to disrupt the strike, had
been spread that they planned. to
20 back to work soon. The strikers
at the meeting, however, voted UNI
animously to stay out.
A report was given by one of the
strikers stating that they received a
46 per cent wage-cut before they re-
ceiYed the last 60 per cent cut. After
the first protest, the bosses promised
that the 60 per cent cut would be
revoked. When this failed to come
thru, the workers struck. The weay-
ers went out first and the other de-
partment followed soon after. At
present the sllop is cut 100 per cent.
The workers at The Elite Mil have
been getting az low as So a week for

of the mill bosses by mass picketing
Mcmahon had sent telegram to
j. P. O'Connell, business agent Of
the local textile union which said:
Salem workers can return to work
upon 40-hour basis as outlined by
the Industrial Recovery Act, with
the agreement entered into as stated
by me, with immediate increase Of
20 per cent in wages. This will go
into effect if employees work on
Monday next"
Some Good News
Immediately upon the receipt of
the wire by O'Connell, Mayor Bates
of Salem got in touch with the
Strike Committee and called them
into 3 conference, stating that he
had some good news for them.
Vice President German had in the
meantime arrived in Salem. At the
conference between the Mayor, the
Strike Committee, the local Execu-
tive Board, and later German, the
Mayor tried his best To get the Com
mittee to accept this offer. He
questioned each member on the
Strike Committee for an Individual
opinion, but most Of the members
refused to answer on their position
He tried to convince them that they
were getting "a wonderful offer" by
the company. But what the offer
really means, Is that the Company
is attempting to introduce a great
increase in work in every depart
ment. 1t would take away the SEN
iority rights of the workers, which
means giving the company the right
to fire any one they please. In the
long run the company would in
crease the work to such an extent
that the workers would be doing
double the work they we're doing
before with only 20 per cent in
crease in wages. Many Of the work
ers would be laid-off. And this
comes under the catching slogan Of
We'll give you 43 hours pay for
only 40 hours Of work"

on the proposition, but when this
proposition was brought to the strike
