NxANY comrades think that the
M forming a Block Committee is
a final goal in itself. The difficulty
Of organizing committee blinds
them to the fact that a much
harder job Is still ahead Of them.
without constant day to day &C
tivity the Block Committee will fall
apart,
How is this day-to-day activity
of the Block Committee to be kept
t,p? First, by constant canvassing,
regular meetings, and open hear
fri9s. we keep in touch every day
x4tff the actual demands Of the
workers. OF these demands. we
select the most pressing.
= The workers children need milk.
We organize demonstrations foE q
city milk station, but we can also
oreat1ize workers committees to
demand free milk from the milk
eos,apa MES that throw thousands Of
aailpns of milk into the river. Milk
committees can then distribute the
milk, In the same way the 18th
81. Block Committee distributes
bread won from the bakeries,
through Bread Committee.
Al the same time we point out
70 the workers, and they see quite
readily, that few bits Of bread
andva few drops of milk, or the
.skoppage OF an eviction, or the
whining of a rent reduction, or the
winning of coal, or gas, or cleo
tricity. is but temporary. and will
be lost again the minute they stop
their day to day struggle, and will
never solve their problems until
their own local struggle is tied up

east Of Manchuria, but only dis
persed. They are rising again. So
Wet districts with Rec Armies al
ready exist and are growing day by
day in Eastern Manchuria. Partisan
troops exist in all parts of Man
churia. Press dispatches prove that
the Manchurian masses are in re-
volt, as shown among other things,
that in South Manchuria SO out of
1873 and in North Manchuria 200
out of 240 post offices are in the
hands of the rebel forces. The Jap.
anese military clique is sending
many new forces to Manchuria to
try and crush the masses who are
fighting the invasion and for the
purpose Of strengthening the pre-
paration to attack the USSR. The
latter purpose is supported by all
irnperialiSts. @
Japanese troops are now at sew
eral points Of the borders of the
U.S.S.R. In western Manchuria
they are at Manehuli and in east
ern MarGhuria they are at Pog-
ranichnaya. They are also advanc-
ing to the northernmost boundar-
les Of Manchuria. The entire East
ern' Chinese Railway (jointly con-
trolled by China and the U.SS.R.)
Is now in the hands of the Japanese
troops, which also shows how unre-.
liable the "Manchukuo" troops are
for Japanese imperialism, otherwise
they would be guarding the sta
lions. At the same time, prepara-
tons for attacking the U.S.S.R. are
increasing in Europe.
The Japanese inperiaIists are in
creasing their threats against the
Soviet Union. This is being done by
all the imperialists, including Am
erican. The Japanese demanded
that the Soviet Union turn over the
Chinese insurgent leaders, Su Ping
wen and others to the Japanese,
notwithstanding the fact that the
U.S.SR. is neutral country. They
stormed about the establishment
Of relations between the Soviet
Union and China altho these reIa-
lions are in line with the Soviet
Unions policy of peace with all
countries. A japanese foreign office

the barbarian and bloody regime
of the TSarist autocracy, provide
grounds for prosecution, or if they
did, give them the possibility Of
formulating charges involving long
terms of Imprisonment or exile.
The laws governing the Okhrana
(Which were in force up to the
February Revolution) gave the lat-
ter power to arrest all active nenn-
bers of the organization at sight, TO
keep them in prison without trial
for long periods, and to deport
them; but they could not place
revolutionists on trial or sentence
them to penal seryitude or death.
That was the function of the court,
A REVOLUTIONIST of the seven
ties, Mishlsin, once said that
"a Tsarist court was no better
than a brother (Mishkin's speech
at his triaD. Nevertheless, even
the Tsarist court was obliged to
have some legal basis for passing
the sentence that the government
desired. The reports of the detec-
tives and agents provocateurs we're
not treated as legal evidence.
Firstly, because the reports were
not direct evidence, and hence
could be easily refuted at the trial,
and secondly, because the agents
provocateurs could not be produced
at the trial, since the Okhrana was
interested in concealing their iden-
tity. Again, neither the detectives
nor the agents provocateurs could
give q complete picture of the ac-
tivities of the organization, since
the system under which the Party
organized it's secret activities only
enabled them to become familiar
with single episodes and aspects Of
the work.
For this reason the Department
of State Defense (Okhrana) and
the Police Administration could
only begin to collect materials that
could be produced at the trial after
the arrests, after the organizations
had been raided. They tried to get
information about the whole or
ganization on the basis of evidence
obtained by questioning the pris-
oners. If they failed to get that
information they kept the prisoners
under preliminary arrest or de-
ported them to other districts.
Sometimes they were obliged to
iberate the prisoners owing to lack
of evidence. This latter course was
very distasteful to the authorities,
because they felt that all their eff
forts had been wasted.
That is why the authorities relied
SO much on the preliminary inves-
LEGATIONS which sometimes dragged
on for years. The police officers
and the examining magistrates did
everything they could, during the
examination of the prisoners, to in-

duce them to give evidence that
would help to betray the organi2a-
ton completely and provide ma
terial for the trial.
A revolutionist under arrest and
examination, had great respon-
sibility thrust upon him. 1t was
not an easy matter to fight against
the unseen forces of the secret
police, and now, under arrest, the
revolutionist was face to face with
the cunning, experienced agent OF
the Okhrana for the first time,
who stroVe in every conceivable
way to trap his victim. 1t must be
said that, owing to lack Of expert.
ence of the revolutionist, or be-
cause he failed to understand the
full consequences of his conduct
under examination for the organ

succeeded in procuring the ma
terial they sought.

throughout the nation, for Federal
Unemployment Insurance.
Street papers, supported by lists
to which small storekeepers can
contribute by advertisements, are
another method Of keeping the
Block Committee permanently be-
fore the eyes Of the workers.
The Block Committee cannot re-
main static. Block supporters must
be increased, the best of them to
be elected to the committee, while
the best members of the committee
grow into the Party. The Com
munist Party has already gained
Is members from the East 18th

THE question of the Communist
l Party should not be made a sub
ject Of general discussion in the
Block Committee meeting. Neither
should active members Of the COM

who are popular with the workers
conceal the fact that they are Com

teach the workers what the Com

Through the winning Of imme-
diate day to day demands, through
constant canvassing for block sup

patton of as many members of the

THE United Council of Working
Glass Women thru the years of
its existence has grown from a
small group of councils scattered
thruout New York and vicinity into
q militant organization with over
fifty councils and about 5000
members. Until few years ago the
organization was mainly involved
in raisings funds and giving relief
to strikers, etc. In the. last two
years our organization has proven
that it can be active in struggles.
The recent bread strikes, rent
strikes, demonstrations at the
Home Relief Buros, fighting evic-
ton cases, ETC., are outstanding
examples.
The program adopted by the or
ganization suits the requirements
Of the proletarian housewives. Our
task is to reach and organize Ne
gro and white, foreign and native
born workers wives for the class
struggle.
In addition to everyday activi-
ties our organization offers various
opportunities to its members. Dis
cussions and lectures held in the
local councils train the members
to become class-conscious. There
are classes, Wallpapers and cir
culating Libraries.
OUR organization is actively en-
y gagged In the fight for unem-
ployment insurance. The Councils
were modified very effectively in
preparation for the Hunger March,
funds were raised, food and cloth
ing collected. and eight delegates
were elected at mass meetings held
on a section scale in various parts
Of the city. These delegates joined
the other 5000 representatives Of
the interests Of the unemployed in
the march to Washington.
The role Of the Daily Worker
cannot be overestimated. 1t serves
both as an organizer and a slim
illus to carry on the everyday

get the truth about the American

of the imperialists.

able to broaden our activities, and
draw vast masses of working class
women into our ranks.

and Japan stands Nsquarely against
these forces" A Japanese war Of
flee spokesman said: although
Soviet Russia's attitude toward ia
pan is at present entirely friendly,
it is impossible to forecast the fut-
ure. Therefore, we must bring our
forces in Manchuria to state of
efficiency, moderniZation and me-
elimination equal to that of the
Red Army Plain talk, is it not?
The Soviet Union has shown time
and again that she stands for real
peace. This is because it is the only
country where the workers and
peasants rule, where capitalism
does not exist, and because the
U.S.S.R. has no inperialist aims.
1t is the only power that has made
genuine disarmament proposals at
Geneva (every one of which we're
rejected by the imperiahsts). The
U.S.S.R has proposed non-aggreS-
sion pacts with all the countries,
Including Japan, and signed same
with most of them (France, Poland,
etc. When the Japanese imperial
lists raised their storm about the
re-establishment of relations be-
tween the U.S.S.R. and China the
Soviet representative replied in
effect, I'VE have offered to sign a
aggression pact with Japan,
and the offer still stands. But the
Japanese imperialists, according to
latest press dispatches, have now
formally refused to sign such a pact
with the U.S.S.R.
THE attack against the Chinese
people is increasing tremend-
ously. The preparations for attack
ing the U.S.S.R. are going ahead
at rapid pace. The inperialist war
now on in the Far East threatens
to become a world imperialist
slaughter. We, the workers, will be
the cannon fodder, as in the last
world imperialist war. We must
increase our -imperialist war
work a hundredfold. Demand the
withdrawal of all military forces
from China, Manchuria and the
Soviet bordersl Stop the manufac-
ture Of munitions and war suppliesi
Stop the transportation Of troops
and munitionsl Defend the Chinese
people! Defend the Soviet Union!

THERE have been a number of
1 difficulties in the work. The
workers are constantly on the go.
They are not in one place like shop
workers. There is never q time
when we can get more than half
of them together. We have opened
a headquarters and we are at
tempting to draw in these workers
when the ycome off the trains, so
that we can be constantly in touch
with them. We are organizing on
the basis of car committees. We
set up committee of three on each
car, developing little meetings as
they go over the road. This is some
times a very difficult problem, be-
cause one-third of the workers are
on the job while one-third are
sleeping and the others available
for meetings.
Editorial Note:--The method
used here in formulating the de-
mands on the basis of an old
agreement is of special icport-
ance. In this manner the COM
rades were able to deal, in the
most concrete manner, with the
conditions of the workers, with
special emphasis on the needs of
the Negro dining car employees.
II is precisely because they put
forth special demands for the
Negro workers that they we're able
to make this Roadway in estab-
fishing the organization. But 1t
is essential in connection with the
demands for the Negro dining car
employees to raise the demand of
the right Of the Negroes to hold
any Job without discrimination
or lower wages.

goal that we organize on the basis
of the grievances and for fight to

that was drawn up. We are call
ing upon the workers not to pay
dues, but to contribute SO cents a
month to finance the organization
work and the negotiations of this
agreement.
