Red Berlin Under the Hitler Brown Terror

Fifth and last in a series of ar

In Germany. The first four dealt
with the activities OF the workers
in Leipzig during the Reichstag
trial. This one deals with their work
in Berlin. The articles sent out

BERLIN, Oct. There's no doubs
about it. The appearance of the ca
pital Of Germany has changed lot.
Everywhere you go, in the center of
the city, Inter den Linden, Friedrich
strasse, Leipzigerstrasse, and Pots
dam Platz, you find scores of Hitler's
soldiers, rugged out in brown or black
shirts.
The guard corps men. IN black
shirts, look like real soldiers. These
form the protection guard of the
regime. It's members are chosen from
bourgeois families, and preferably
from the families of army officers.
It is said that only these guards
corps men are wholeheartedly de-
voted to Hitler.
AS for the storm troopers, dressed
in brown shirts, the word is that
those sections can scarcely be con-
sidered as being truly in the hands
of the Fuehrer. The brown -sn1rted
Nazi are dressed variously. They wear
torn, worn, caps, and run around
Berlin like soldiers on leave.
An old worke- said to me in Berlin:
You'd think these were the soldiers
who used to come TO Berlin during
the war, and act like conquering
heroes-except that at every hard
knock they wondered: what are we

Are they not preparing for new
imperialist war? Indeed has war
really ceased since the war treat
les? Is not war going on through
out the world, in China, in Latin
America? Are these wars not kept
up by the profit makers for more
profits? Are they not dividing
China and trying to throttle the
revolutionary workers and peasants
movement Yes, comrades. And,
most of all, are they not feverish-
ly preparing for war against the
country of our comrades, Soviet
Russia, our fatherland? Yes, COM
rades. In order therefore to pay
fitting tribute to our comrade
here we must be prepared to fight
against imperialist war. We must
make it a daily task to fight a.
gainst capitalist war We are how
ever, for class war, that is the war
against our class enemies, the
bankers, industrialists, and in case
of war, declare war against our
enemies and fraternize with the
soldiers of the opposing armies,
turn capitalist war into civil war,
into revolution!
A "HIGHER MONUMENT"
Comrades, we have already de-
clared at the graves of our COM
rades Hushka and Carlson to set
aside July % a National Day of
Struggle; we declared to avenge
the death Of our comrades; We de-
clared to continue the struggle for
the needs of the veterans; we de-
clared our solidarity with all the
oppressed. We declared to raise
a monument to these murdered
comrades and to make this monu-
ment fitting contrast to the aim
of the monument raised here by
the capitalists.
We declare now for o higher
monument to the memory and
sentiments of these known COM
rade. We shall make those pay
dearly who try to block our aims.
We shall continue the struggle to
make this country, with all of its
rich resources and skilled workers,
place where all the workers and
oppressed shall enjoy the full fruits
of their labor. We declare war a.
gainst the capitalist system.

as IAN unknown soldier" May we
all be enthused and inspired to
carry en- in the tasks that are be-
fore us - for the defense of the
Soviet Union, for the defense of
the Chinese people and against
plunderous war in Latin America,
for the Bonus and defense of the

The UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Speech Of J. W. Ford Graves of Hushka and Carlson

against starvation and misery
which is the lot of millions of
people in this country today. This
was, no doubt, the real aim and
desire of this unknown" soldier.
No better tribute could be paid to
him and to our own desires than
TO make fighting against war our
concerted daily task. Why are we
here TODAY, did we not come to
fight for our Bonus? We are seek
ing way out Of misery. We are
here also because we have begun
to see through the illusions created
by the ruling class. Certainly,
Bloody Thursday blasted many
illusions and showed us the real
role of the ruling class.
During the world war some of
our comrades in arms" we're
faced with these same questions.
They got tired of war and hunger.
They found a way out. Our Off
GERS told us that they deserted"
the cause, became traitors" But
the simple fact is that they set
out to put a stop to war, and
misery and hunger.
THE RUSSIAN PATH
I refer, comrades, as no doubt
you already infer, to our Russian
comrades. These same comrades
are today on the road to a better
world. They are showing us that
a better world can be built by
workers. Before our very eyes
these comrades are building such
a world in Soviet Russia. They
found their path, it is true, in the
midst of imperialist war. But is
it not a fact that the capitalists
are preparing new war now,
While we. starve?
While this very war is being pre-
pared and is actually going on and
millions being spent for war, we
are forced to fight for relief a.
gainst starvation; for unemploy-
ment insurance against IMemploy-
ment; for the Bonus (back pay,
against restitution for ourselves
and dependents We can there
fore commemorate the memory of
our unknown" comrade by re-
doubling our efforts in these tasks.
I'VE ARE here at a monument
w erected by war mongers, by
murderers of Hushka and Carlson.
The capitalist politicians come here
to this, grave from time to time
to pay tribute" to the unknown
soldier" in order. to perpetuate
sentiments of patriotism that will
keep alive the desire for capital
list war and to keep national chau-
whist sentiments uppermost in the
minds of the masses. These are
the same people who profit by war,
who profited before and who re-

Readers
CRTTICIZES WRONG
ANTI-WAR SLOGAN

Editor Of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
wish to call your attention to an
item appearing on the front page
of the Daily Worker of Jan. 10 in
tended to report protest meeting
against the South American Wars
to be held at Irving Plaza on
Thursday, Jan. IL. The item is
worded: "You don't want to be
shot? Come to the Anti-Imperial-
list War meeting, ETC."
This method of conducting anti
war propaganda is both flippant
and incorrect. The flippancy is
self-evident; moreover, the Daily
Worker certainly does not intend
to give workers the illusion that by
attending protest meetings against
war they will save themselves from
being shot" We know that Or
ganization of the struggle against
war will impede the capitalist plans
to slaughter millions of workers in
a new world war. In the course of
such a struggle the masses will re.
alize that without the overthrow
of capitalism it is impossible to
eliminate war. /. ID.

7 WANT to tell you about a certain
struggle that was carried on
without developing strike in
shop in the Philadelphia district.
This shop I am working in is big
shop that employs about 10000
workers when it works full time
and 5000 workers at present. There
are many grievances around which
struggles can be developed, but
these are big grievances that en-
brace all the workers, such as wage
cuts that effect all the workers in
that shop,
In tins shop there is practically
no organization or union and to
develop any fight against this wage
cut, we as yet have no forces in
there. On that basis, we considered
what could be done in that shop.
The method ~s adopted is 10 de-

minutes in the afternoon. These
workers were very dissatisfied and
thought this wasn't enough time,
and we're kicking about it all the
time. One day we made sug-
gestion that all the men on that
particular line should take fifteen
minutes relief instead of five. Ali
agreed to that, that every one
would take Is minutes it would be
easier to get away with it than if
only one worker did it, because if
one worker did it the boss could
do something him off for a
week and SO on. / Immediately
seized that opportunity and pointed
out to the workers that this was
the only way we could get some
thing in the shop, if we all stuck
together, and the workers agreed.
THE next time when the relief
L man came around we told every
worker in that particular group,
when he goes out to stay out for
fifteen minutes. This relief man
relieves one worker, then the next
one and SO on. We told the work
ers to stay out for fifteen minutes
and not to come back until the Is
minutes are up. The workers
agreed and they did it. The relief
man was very sore and when he
got through with this group of
workers he took down all the names
and took them to the foreman. But
when the foreman saw the long
list he had and all the names. he
didn't even come over to tell the
workers about it.
This way we gained the Is min
uteS in the morning and Is in the
afternoon I pointed out to the
workers that this should convince
them that only if we stuck together
could we get anything, told them
II we were organized in some form
or other we could get many other
victories against grievances which
affect all the workers in the shop.
MANY GRIEVANCES
And there were many grievances
there on the job and the workers
agreed to that, and right at the
place there we decided to form a
"Stick-T Together" Club. Many
workers had the habit OF telling
the foreman of different things the
other workers did. We decided one
of the things we should do is not
to be squeelers, and the workers
agreed to it. And the workers took
the organization as their own be-
cause this organization arose on
the basis of their own experiences
and they knew it was their own
organization.
OF course, this organization, after
it was established, was very loose.
Only one group of workers in one
particular section, who saw each
other every day, and talked things
over. We had no regular meetings
or, any thing of the kind. But l
had the perspective of broadening
it out, consolidating it, making it
the organizer of struggle, and then
pushing it into form of union or
ganization. But shortly afterwards
a lay-oH came and this organiza-
ton did not function for some

time


AFTER we came back, we tried to
n revive it, but could not do it on
the basis of nothing at all. But
certain grievances came up, which
revived it. One day, one Of the
workers forgot to ring UP his card,
and he was locked and he was sore.
The same question came UP where
the foreman came to collect money
for the Red Cross. This was sup
posed to be voluntary, but 1t was
not. When the workers refused,
the foreman wrote in the name,
and the workers had to contribute.
The workers did not like it and we
utilized this to establish the Stick
Together Club, and our problem
is to broaden it out and try to es-
tablish some stronger form of or
ganization where the workers would
be able to carry on work on wider
scale.
So far it involves one department
and only young workers. But i
want to say that one thing we have
learned is that when I try to car
ry on work in that shop on the
basis of direct Communist propa-
ganda, bringing in newspapers to
the workers, these workers were
prejudiced against the Commu-
niSts. No matter what told them
the propaganda sof the capitalist
press was counteracting our propa-
ganda, but on the basis of such
thing, we would establish a form
of organization and the worker.
recognized it as something that
they organized, decided on, and
that it was on the basis of their
own experiences and grievances
and they knew it was their own
organization.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This report
shows the possibilities Of uniting
the workers around their irnme-
date grievances in large plants.
The development of such broad
united forms of organization in
the departments should be uti-
liked for strengthening the fight
ing capacity of the workers and
winning them for organized
struggle against the continued
attacks. The point emphasized
by the writer that the first APP
proach of direct Communist pro-
paganda brought no results en-
phasizes the need Of approaching
the workers first of all with their
immediate grievances. What was
wrong in the approach Of the
comrade was not the bringing In
of the Communist propaganiia,
but the methods of presentation,
its complete disassociation from
the actual conditions Of the
workers in the plant. 1t is neces-
sary constantly to link up the
immediate grievances OF the
workers with the broader political
issues facing them, drawing the
proper lessons from each small
gain made, and in this manner
raising the consciousness OF the
workers, building the union ana
winning the most militant en-
nnents for the Party. a
