In recent article that appeared
in the Daily Worker dealing with
the city elections throughout the
country, we pointed out that almost
everywhere the "ins" were turned out
and the "outs" were turned in. We
pointed out that this was one of
the expressions Of the growing dis
content of the masses expressing it
self in the face OF the lack of poll
tical maturity Of the masses, through
the traditional two party system.
This situation was seen in the city
Of New York where Tammany was
defeated by the Republican-Fusion
forces, in Cleveland where the Re-
publicans again took power from the
Roosevelt Democrats, in Pittsburgh
end Philadelphia, where the Mellon
and Ware machines were defeated by
the Democrats, and in Bridgeport,
where the Socialists were elected
against both Of the two old parties.
We pointed out that so far as Bridge
port was concerned the capitalists
could no longer fool the workers with
the two old parties and resorted to
the use Of the third party OF CAPT
talisnl, the Socialist Party.
Use Other Parties
But there is one important lesson
from these elections that was not
emphasized. This is the methods
through which the capitalists main
tain their rule. Much has already
been written in the past of how the
capitalists of the U. S. utilize the
two party system to keep the work.
ers chained to the capitalist parties.
1t is becoming more and more clear
with every election, as the crisis con-
tinues to grow, that the capitalists
are putting forward and building I'D
the Socialist Party as the third party
Of capitalism in those places where
they can no longer keep the workers
chained to the two old parties.
They also put forward and sup
port various so-called Farmer-Labor
parties as is the case in the State
of Minnesota, where the Farmer
Labor Party is the ruling party. In

COMRADE MAX BEDACHT,
Revolutionary Leader Of the American
Working Glass.
Statement by the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party Of
the U.S.A., on the Fiftieth Ami
very Of Comrade Bedacht-
THE Central Committee Of the Com
l munist Party of the U.S.A. extends
its revolutionary greetings to Com
rade Bedacht as member OF the
Central Committee and one Of the
leaders OF the revolutionary labor
movement In the United States OF
America.
From his youth and up to the pres
ent time, Comrade Bedacht devoted
all his energy and his fruitful work
to advance the interests of the prole-
tariat. Himself proletarian, earn
ing his living by his labor, he gave
all his free time and all his attention
to the class-struggle Of the workers.
First in Switzerland, where he came
from his native Bavaria as a young
worker, then in the United States,
where he emigrated in his twentieS,
he was engaged in the work Of or
ganizing labor unions and leading
strikes of workers against their ex-
ploiters. Having joined the Socialist
Party in America, he soon found
himself in opposition to its reformist
leadership. A labor leader in San
Francisco, he consistently fought on
the side of Tom Mooney against the
leadership of the Socialist Party Of
California, which insisted on dis
avowing Mooney and expelling him
from the party.
DURING the war he occupied an
" internationalist position, exposing
the reactionary imperialist nature OF
Americas participation in the war,
and advocating a revolutionary strug-
gle by the American workers against
the war. For his revolutionary stand
on many vital problems, he was hated
by the reformist leadership of the
Socialist Party, but he gained the
confidence and respect of thousands
upon thousands of rank-and-file
workers who later formed the foun-
dalton of the Communist Party Of the
U.S.A.
Since the foundation of the Com
munist Party, in which Comrade
Bedacht Is a charter member, he has

is not true. There Is a handful of

Of the A. F. of L. rank and filters

Workers Reject Company Union.
N.R.A. representatives have held
several conferences with the strike

ment, but at Thursday noon no def
mite developments toward negotiations
had started, with the strikers reject
Ing arbitration and insisting on direct
negotiations, and the Armour officials
refusing to negotiate with the strik-
ers and insisting on dealing with the
Armour Conference Board, a fake
company union which the workers
refuse to recognize. The Conference
Board members tried to crash the
picket lines on Wednesday to have a
conference with the Armour officials,
but the strikers refused to allow them
to go through.
The Armour company and the CAPT.
talist press tried without success to
bring in the red issue" to brighten
the workers, but this maneuver had
no effect on the strikers. The Pioneer

I is entitled Radio Interview With
Senator Wagner-Robert F. Wagner,
Senator from New York and Chair
man of the National Labor Board
will be interviewed by two Of his
fellow members on the Board. Walter
C. Teaele, Chairman of the Standard
Oil Company Of New Jersey, and
William Green, President of the
American Federation Of Labor, the
interview being broadcast over a ma
tional hookup by the National Broad
casting Company"
Senator Wagner: My only regret
is the absence tonight Of the other
members of the Board, including
those outstanding leaders Of indus
try; Gerard Swope, Edward N.
Hurley, Louis c. KRISTEN, and Austin
Finch; and those able spokesman for
Labor; DR.. Leo Wolman, Father
Francis j. Haas, John L. Lewis, and
Major George L. Berry -.
MIR. Green: Mr.. Chairman, what
about all these strikes which have
been taking place since the establish
ment Of the Board? Do you con-
slider the number alarming?
Senator Wagner: I do not -.
"Mr. TeagIe: Do you mean, Senator,
that you are satisfied with condi-
tons as they are?
Senator Wagner: By no means;
all 7 am trying to point out is that
the situation is not 50 serious as
to Danish hope. OF course, I am
not satisfied with conditions which
reflect PHILOSOPHERS Of conflict. and
hatred, for they can never be the
basis for economic reconstruction -
mir. TeagIe: Senator, how would
you characterize the Boards method
Of dealing with disputes over recog-
milton Of employees representatives?
Senator Wagner: Just one word
is necesSary-democracy. We are
taking the American ideal of political
government and projecting 1t into
the industrial field. Whenever a
question arises as to who shall be
the recognized spokesman of the
workers in a particular plant, our
solution is simple We supervise a
free, secret ballot of the workers
under such circumstances that there
can be no coercion and no unfair
electioneering. We have supervised
over twenty elections and they have
all been successful :"
60 successful" indeed, that the
y tnctic of ordering elections at
some date weeks or months ahead
during which time the employers are
able to weed out the strike leaders
Is one Of the Labor Boards most eff
fective strike-breaking weapons.

day.

Comrade Bedacht occupied various
positions, but he has always remained
in the front ranks Of the Communist
movement. From the foundation OF
the Communist Party. He has been
member of its Central Committee
and during the last few years men,
ser of the Political Bureau.
BY his indomitable energy, and
burning devotion to the cause of the
Communist Party and the working
class, by his theological struggles in
ne first ranks of the Party, by his
-aithful following of the line of the
Communist International at the time
If the graveSt crisis in the history Of
our Party, by his relentless struggles
lgainst the right and cleft" oppor-
tunists within the Party and against
the renegades of every shade. Com
rade Bedacht has won the love and
respect of the membership of the
workers.
IN THE last few years, Comrade
1 Bedacht has done good mass work
as one of the leaders of the Inter
national Workers Order of which he
has been elected General Secretary
at its last convention in Chicago.
Comrade Bedacht has become, for
large numbers Of workers, a symbol
of revolutionary activity, a symbol of
Communism. In greeting Conrade
Bedacht and wishing him many more
years of successful work in the ranks
of the Communist Party, the Central
Committee urges the workers to emu
late the example of Comrade Bedacht
and to express their recognition of his
work by joining the Communist
Party.

Fear Communist Party
There is only one party that the
capitalists fear the Communist
Party. In this the capitalists show
a full understanding of their class
interests. The Communist Party
openly proclaims as its aim the
abolition of capitalism. And 1t is
proving its understanding, devotion
and sacrifice to this cause in the
daily struggles in the interests Of
the workers and other toilers. Our
Party must clearly bring before the
masses these elementary truths re-
garding the class struggle and the
class character of the various poll
tical parties. 1t must expose the
methods through which the capital
lists maintain their rule. 1t must
prove to the masses that only the
Communist Party is the party of the
working class.
Communist Vote Grows
In this connection the recent city
elections though far from being
satisfactory as far as our activity
IN enlightening the masses as to the
rue issues, and modifying them for
struggle and teaching them the truth
through their own experience. never
theless can record progress in many
sections Of the country in winning
over new strata of masses to the
cause CT Communism and the strug-
gle under the banner of the Com
munist Party.
And in the same way it is en-
couraging to note that where seri-
GUS efforts were made our Party was
able to show growth of influence
much greater than that of the Soci-
sliSt Party. In the New York cleo
tons the top vote for our Party of
some $1,000 was almost half the ton
vote of the Socialist Party, though
the previous year the vote for the
Socialist Party was more than ten
times that for or Party.
