'Imperialist wars are the newt

process of capitalist imperialism
there is the threat OF the destruc-

WAR AND REVOLUTION
Delivered During the New York
Trial, March, 1920

Trial, March, 1920
1CAPITALIST production in its
v development brings about its
own decay, its own decline, its own
breakdown; capitalist production
inevitably, through its own condi-
tions of existence, produces such a
situation as the World War;
world war, an imperialist war,
brings about the breakdown OF cap
italist production. Tt also brings
about the increase in prices, the
increase Of the cost of commodi-
ties, and thus intensifies the strug-
gle between the workers who must
gain the necessities to live and the
owning class.
II might illustrate this: AS a
result Of the war, prices have
doubled, and we have had large
number of strikes on the part of
the workers trying to catch up
with the cost Of living. Such a
strike, for instance, was the out
law railroad strike.
"Thus, in the development of the
capitalist system, its own contra
dictions bring about situation in
which the machinery Of production
breaks down. For example, war.
Imperialism brings the great cap
italist classes in conflict with each
other. This conflict in the begin
ming takes the form Of a diplo-
matte controversy and ends in war.
War brings about the disintegra-
ton of the capitalist machinery of
production, as has been the case
in Europe. 1t also brings about
imitation, the increase Of prices,
and the working class is driven 10
u more bitter and antagonistic
struggle against the capitalist class.
In this country, VIC saw that
illustrated in the various strikes,
like that of the coal miners, which
last year brought a stoppage Of in
dustry in certain places-the out
law strike of the railroad workers,
which brought about disintegration
of the railroad service and brought
about a situation in which the in
dustr.es could not function effec-
lively. This process ultimately
brings about a condition in which
the workers are compelled to strike
more frequently, more widely. In
the process the government acts as
the agent Of the capitalist class
for the suppression Of the work.
ers.... as for example, in the coal
miners strike last year, the gov
eminent used the injunction, it
used federal troops, it tied up the
treasury of the unions. This di-
reefs the attention of the workers
against the capitalist state, as the
agency of the capitalist class, and
their struggles begin to develop
against the government.
at the present moment the Eng
lish strike of the coal miners is
an example of that development.
In this process there comes a point
where the capitalist government Is

ton. Mary was not discouraged.
Instead Of scolding the girls for be-

ter drop. The girls confidence in
themselves and in her increased be-
cause of her understanding. Al
ways lively, resourceful, and one
of the fastest operators, Mary soon
became the natural leader in the

leus was formed. Three party
members and three Y.CL.'s. Small
meetings of two, three and nine,
workers were held. Only chosen
comrades We're allowed to agitateN
certain workers. Not snip about
politics or religion. Ons hundred
percent avoidance Of sectarianisH1.
Not d word about union. The agts
tation consisted solely in telling
the workers that it was within
their own power to make their
own working conditions and arous-
ing them to fight on the basis Of
such conditions.
AT last they had group OF %
n workers. At the meeting OF the
whole group they appointed plant
captains. There were six power
plants. They appointed two cap
tains for each plant. Around these
captains, organizations went on
carefully and successfully.
The boss didn't suspect thing.
He continued his nasty old trick
of bringing in new lots of dress at
about $50 when it was almost time
to quit. Mary refused to start
working when such new lots were
forced ON them. She left her ma
chine and went home. The boss
didn't bother her. He discontinued
the practice More girls joined in
the underground organization.
FIRST DEMAND WON.
When she thought she had most
of the workers with her, Mary
found a new chance to test them.
A lot of suits came into the shop
which required extra heavy work.
Mary felt the time was ripe to raise
demand for this work She gave
the signal enc lunch hour. The
plant captains met her in the la
dies toilet. They were ready. They
modified all the workers at the
spot where work was distributed.
Even the oldest and most ti1nid
spoke up. They demanded an in
crease Of 10 cents. For 20 minutes
they wouldn't bulge back to their
machines. The boss surrendered.
He gave them the increase.
A few days after the boss pro-
missed the raise we had another
meeting. The girls were pessimis-
tic. They were sure he wouldn't
pay us the raise for those gar
mentS. The weather was bad. Only
20 girls came to the meeting. That
didn't discourage us. We had no
loose talking and no stools. We
got our 10 cents.
Then we had a second meeting,
much bigger, to consider what to
do about another lot of garments
much harder to work on. That was
how the boss was getting back the
raise. We were very careful here.
Maybe it was too much for the
girls. We didn't want to push
them. But they all voted with one
hand for a so cents increase for
the new garment.

The Sixth Anniversary of the
Death of c. E. Ruthenberg

Today is the sixth anniversary of
the death of COmrade C. E. Ruth
enberg, one of the most Outstand-
ing founders of the Communist
Party of the U. S. A. C0nlrade
Ruthenberg joined the Socialist
Party in 1909, and was recording
secretary of the City Central Com
mittee in Cleveland from that time
till 1912. In 1913 he became the
city organizer for the Cleveland
organization. As candidate for
Mayor in 1917 on the Socialist
Party ticket in Cleveland, he ran
on a platform of opposition to the
imperialist war, and received $4,000
votes out of a total of 100000.
In 1919, Ruthenberg was lead
ing factor in organizing the left
wing opposition to those leaders of
the Socialist Party who had al
ready clearly exposed their role as
betrayers of the working class. He
became the first secretary of the
Communist Party of America and
in 1922 was the national secretary
of the Workers Party, the name
under which the party was known
at that time, and continued as ma
tionsI secretary until his death, oil

BIASED on the lessons Of, past
history it is the teaching Of the
Communist Party that when the
class struggle comes to it's final
issue, when there has grown up a
great movement of workers and
farmers to take out of the hands
of the capitalists their control Of
the government and to abolish the
capitalist dictatorship-that is, the
control and the use of the gov
eminent in the interests Of tae
capitalists-then, when the capital
lists sense the majority of the
workers and farmers intent upon
securing relief from this eXploit1-
ton, the capitalists, in the final
struggle, will resort to force to
protect their privileged position and
maintain their power to exploit the
workers and farmers, and then

HINDER the leadership OF the
u Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, the workers of the
Maimon- Sanger Dress Co. have just
won a great strike. We go to the
headquarters Of the union on 18th
st. to see Mary Negrelli, the strike
leader. The sixth floor huns like
a beehive. Over the bookshop
flames a sign: knowledge Is
Power. Workers. Learn to Fight"
The little comrade is very busy
in the organization department. At
last she hurries out to say hello.
She goes into a room where the
special problems Of the Negro work
ers in the needle trades are taken
up. She hasn't had her supper
yet. There is meeting which she
should attend soon. She leans
against the table. She is pale and
heavy with fatigue from months
battling the boss, the police, the
scabs. Yet she realizes how I'M
portant it is that the story of the
strike be told. Forgotten is her
supper, her WEAKNESS, the meeting.
She talks for two hours.
MARY refuses TO say anything
wi about herself. Questions of a
personal nature are brushed aside.
Her problem is not where she was
born and where she lives. How did
the workers get together? What
were the difficulties? And now
what are the terms of victory?
HIGHEST PAY S12
FOR so HOURS WORK.
Six months ago Mary got her
job in Maimon-Sanger as an oper-
ator. One hundred-fifty workers
in the shop. Most of them Italians
with a few Negroes, Spanish, Jews.
Hours from $3.50 to 7 every day, and
Saturday until $50. Dinner time
cut down to three quarters of an
hour; half hour Saturday. The
power plants always on. The boss
expecting you to take even less
time to eat. The wages So, SO, $40,
$12 and the highest SIS. The aver
age wage $12 for so hours. No pay
for deadtime.
In her efforts to arouse the work
ers against the terrible conditions
Mary had to take one step back
ward at first to every two steps
forward Because of their reG-
gion, strict upbringing, and poll
tical backwardness and fear, the
odds seemed against her. The &C
ton of the International last year
prejudiced all the shop workers
against organizations of any sort.
The International had sent a com
mittee to pull the shop down. The
boss had paid of the committee.
This had all leaked out.
Right after she was hired dur
ing the summer, Maimon-Sanger
without warning slashed wages.
Mary talked to the girls. She
urged them all to go to the boss
to fight the slash. At the last mo-
ment the girls backed out. Mary,
however, walked into the office. IN
stead OF pressing her demands and
so exposing herself and being fired,
Mary quickly switched her purpose.
She just asked the boss please if
he would help her figure up her
pay. This quickness of mind and
courage won the respect of all the
girls. 1t also showed her the i'm
portance Of preparation.
Her next attempt was also de-
feated. She formed a group of IL
to meet the boss to discuss their
