Lessons of Our United Front
Struggles

tendencies, have seriously hampered
the Party in its efforts to take the
fullest possible advantage Of the pres
ent favorable opportunities to create
a great mass workers movement.
The sectarian tendencies - the
chief obstacle to successful mass work
have shown themselves most clearly
in more or less openly expressed re-
sistance to the united front, on one
hand, and in an ilI-concealed ten
dency to get out Of any united front
at the earliest opportunity, on the
other. One frequently hears a sigh Of
relief after an action is finished; the
comrades afflicted with these tenden-
cies are always glad to crawl back
into the quiet solitude of their own
sectarian shells In this connection a
rigid Journalism sometimes serves to
conceal POSSIBLY even from the Of
fenders) the sectarian essence Of
their actions.
UPROOTING SECTARIAN
RESISTANCE TO MASS WORK
In one district, for example, a So
cialist branch, convinced of the need
for JOINT struggle, took the initiative
in proposing united action to the
Communist unit in its locality. Our
unit correctly favored accepting this
proposal, and wanted to confer with
the Socialist branch on the common
struggles to be undertaken. But the
District Bureau decided, No. The
Central Committee in its united front
directives, they pointed out, had in
Structed the Communist bodies Ito
take the initiative in approaching the
lower Socialist Party bodies for joint
struggle" The District Bureau reas-
oned, therefore, that at all costs the
initiative" must be taken away from
the Socialist local They instructed
the Communist unit ''to ignore the
offer of the Socialist branch" and to
send another offer of its own for
united action "in order that we retain
the initiative" Obviously, the prole-
tartan instincts of the unit members
would have done more to give the
Communists real initiative in the de-
velopment Of local struggles than the
rigid Journalism Of the District Bu-

places squarely the problem facing
the II million unemployed and their
dependents.
Through the use of official govern
ment tigures-which are considerably
diStorted-it shows that King Hunger
rules. The figures admit that millions
are living at a 5000 per year income,
and less. In many cities relief has
been cut to the starvation ration of
$62.50 per year for a family of 5.
Diseases mounting suicides, awful
degradation in every forIn-these are
the widespread results of the crisis
that has ravaged these four years.
Yet on top of this, the capitalist gov
eInment plans to reduce the relief
doles to the outrageous level of sl2.05
per year through the so-called "Emer-
gency Relief Bill"
Hold Boss Glass Responsible
The most devastating sort Of hun
ger exists as result of the fact that
II millions are out of work 1t is not
the wish of workers to be unemployed.
Those who do the hiring are respon-
sible for firing. They are the ones
who have the wealth in their hands,

that unemployment is not a serious
problem. But $12.05 per year for a

The only answer is supplied by the
Unemployed Council Of the u S. A:

The capitalists and their govern

effort Of the unemployed and en-

enact such a bill, eliminating the
charity racketeering, eliminating the

L Street Garage Manager Held
for Series of Crimes in
Middle West

A nationwide police search for
members Of a robber gang which
perpetrated a $4,000 bank
hold-up in Streeter, ILL.,, in May,
1882, today led to the arrest here
Of Horace Zimmerman, 27, L
Street garage manager, said to
be wanted for completely in a
series of crimes.
zimmerman's arrest followed
the alleged Identification of his
picture among a group Of men re-
puted to be Mid-Western gangsters.
Washington detectives say he
also is wanted for questioning in
connection with the kidnapping of
Charles Mitchell, Of Marseilles,
ILL.,, and the Jail delivery of four
men who escaped from the La
Sale county (Ill.) Jail while
awaiting trial.
Zimmerman is said to have ad-
mitted following his arrest that
he had kept a car in readiness
for an escape should police ap-
pear. lie did not have o chance
to use it, however, as police sur
rounded the building.
Agents of a well-known de-

from time to time from the gaa

nized him as the wanted man,

Phone Appeal to Home Loan
Chief Results in 30-Day
Truce for HouSehoIders

An auctioneer pulled to a stop
in front Of a small home in Con-
gress Heights today, staked his
red flag into the lawn, and waited
for the advertised hour of the
foreclosure sale of the home.
Inside, a husband and wife
watched. It was their home.
The husband had been i'll and
out of work and payments on the
first and second mortgages had
not been kept up. The first mort
gage is held by building and
loan association and the second by
a speculative mortgage buyer.
Second Trust Action
The wife had sent a special de-
livery letter yesterday to Charles
A. Jones, manager of the District
branch of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation. outlining the couples
difficulties and asking for loan.
Today, before the letter could
be answered, the woman called
Mr.. Jones by telephone and told
him of the auctioneer and the
red flag.
Mr.. Jones called the building
ing and loan association and was
surprised to learn that the fore
closure was not being done by
holders of the first trust. It de-
veloped the holder of the second
trust had instituted the proceed
ings and had orders for the auc-
ton.
30 Days of Grace
Since payments on both trusts
were far in arrears, Mr.. Jones
asked both to withhold action.
Both agreed and for 80 days the
couple will not have to worry
about their home being sold.
In the meantime, Mr.. Jones,
who expects the Woman'S detailed
application for a loan late today,
hopes to have whatever the cor
poration can do for them done
before the expiration of the 30-day
truce.
Mr.. Jones said home owners of
Washington apparently have
carefully read the Home Loan
Act, as the vast majority of those
calling at the District offices,
80 Fifteenth st. N. w., are OBJ
viously those whom the law is in
tended to help.
Mortgages Change Heart
An extremely small number Of
persons with expensive homes or
many mortgages have applied
for relief. The majority are
those who purchased homes when
prices were high and whose in
comes have been cut in half, or
more, Ind who now are being
pushed to the wall by the mort
gage holders.
One of the big features of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
workings to date, Mr.. Jones said,
has been the almost complete
about face on the part of mort
gage holders.
In the first days Of the act
and before the local offices
throughout the country began
functioning, mortgage holders let
it be known far and wide that
they would not accept the cor
poration's bonds.
During the last few days they
have consented" to take "a per-
centage in bonds" and still 1, i
they have zone into huddles 10
"think the situation over" lead
ing to the eventual Sc of the
bonds as payment of the mort
cages.

CHILDREN SMILE
At DEATH QUIZ

Too young to be impressed by
sudden death, four small play
mates of Thomas Loewy, 5, of the
1000 block Rittenhouse st. N. w.,
who died from a skull fracture
received last Friday in a scuffle
over scooter, were cheerful and
smiling today when they were
questioned in the homicide squad
room in Police Headquarters.
The boys played with letters,
paper weights, and other office
furniture as they waited their
turn to be questioned.
Detectives took only verbal
statements from witnesses of the
child's death in order that a re-
port might be submitted to the
coroner.
Thomas died last night at Sib-
ley Hospital, where he was taken
early Saturday. Friday he came
home crying and told of a quar-
rel with other boys over the toy.
He fell in a fight and struck his
head on the toy.
His mother, Mrs. Jacob Loewy,
was near collapse following his
death. Another son died about
