spy should be popularized widely.
He must become an object of deri-
sion everywhere among workers.
CONCERNING organizational steps
v in the fight against the spy. In
the mines and mills, the Party
nuclei and union shop committees,
which actually exist Illegally, must
be taught in the words of Lenin--
Ito skillfully coordinate legal and
illegal work as a method Of strug-
gle against the peril Of proyoca-
teul3il- Nenin-Left-wing Com
9nunisin--af Infantile Disorder
There must be systematic check-up
and control on decisions and their
execution. The most elementary
rules Of conspiracy must be OBJ
served, as to names, meeting places,
keeping of documents and member
ship lists, not bringing members to-
gether in too large groups, check
ing up quietly and without radio
announcements of any suspected
persons, investigation of how conf
rades came to be fired. etc. Even
the question of leaflet distributions
inside or outside the factories, must
be taught to our comrades in order
to avoid detection and arrest.
In all our mass organizations,
especially the unions and unem-
ployed councils, w. E. S. L., etc, we
face the problem of spies in an
acute form. Mass education, mass
organization e ally organizing
masses of workers into our unions,
block and neighborhood commit
tees, etc, on the basis of their
everyday needs, their economic in
terestS, the struggle against wage
cuts, against cuts in relief, etc, etc.
1T is in such mass organization in
preparation for mass struggles
against the capitalist class-that
the danger of spies will be reduced
TO a minimum. Then the work of
the provocateur will be as about
successful as cockroach is unda
a hob-nailed shoe Of worker!

THE MILWAUKEE, WIS.,
SALVATION ARMY AND
THE HUNGRY JOBLESS

Milwaukee, Wis.
Editor OF Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade.
The Salvation Army is always
boasting about all the good they
are doing for humanity, so 1 feel
that it is my duty to let the public
know Just how much good they
really are to the poor and down
trodden class Of this country.
The other day I happened to be
in one of their stores where they
sell their old second hand junk to
the workers for the same price Of
new articles, and also did see
them bet up an old man whom
they accused Of trying to steal
pair Of suspenders, but these star
walton army takers did not see me
also watching this old man who
did not steal these suspenders, but
held them in his hand for a short
time while he was still looking
through the rest of their rags. And
when I did call their attention to
the mistake they were making they
also tried to beat me up and told
me that had no right TO but in.
Comradely,
E. G..

BY P. FRANKFELD

THE recent exposure and expul-
L sion of two individuals from the
ranks Of the Party in the Pitts
burgh district, Frank Note as a spy
and traitor, and Walter Smorak as
q self-confessed friend and protec-
tor of spies, must bring very sharply
to the attention of the entire Party
the necessity for the greatest vigi-
lance and alertness to this problem,
and an understanding of how to
systematically struggle against
provocation in our ranks. The
case of Frank Note, formerly q
member of the District Commit
tee and at one time of the District
Buro of Pittsburgh, of the National.
Board Of the National Miners
Union, is surely a noteworthy case
to be studied. Some valuable les
sons can be learned concerning q
particularly vicious and dangerous
type of clever rat and his methods
Of organizing disruption and disor-
ganization in the Party and the
Union.
The Pittsburgh district has al
ways faced the problem of stool
pigeons in an acute form. The
reasons are obvious. 1t is the heart
Of industrial America, the manu-
facturer of steel, the producer of
coal and one of the main arteries
of the railroad system of this coun-
try. Pittsburgh district is one of
the main foundation pillars OF
American capitalism. The Mellon
interests, the U. S. Steel Corpora
ton, fully realize the decisive i'm
portance OF such a strategical in
duStrial center as Pittsburgh.
TODAY the present crisis with its
L rising class struggles has spurred
the employers on to greater use of
the despicable stool-pigeon and
proVocateur who spreads disruption
and disorganization in the ranks
of the working class.
To be sure the methods Of Frank
Note are not to be regarded as
the methods always used by spies.
These methods are dependent upon
the purpose for which a given spy
is sent into working-class ranks.
There is great variety of types,
ranging from the simplest informer
whose tasks is to get names, in
formation, addresses, places of
meetings, habitual gathering places
for militant workers, etc., to the
most "ultra-left" revolutionist who
proposes humping the Capital
istS,' or calling for armed struggle
on all occasions.
Note was the kind of spy whose
task 1t was to win standing in the
workng-claS movement and use
his position for disorganizing the
fighting ranks Of the workers. He
was chosen to work in Washing
ton County, Pennsylvania, one of
the most militant sections during
the heroic miners strike of 1881,
When the Party faced great diff
clllCles, Note was never concerned
about overcoming these. He would
accept tasks assigned to him, but
seldom carried them out.
He was also q bearer OF white
chauVinist poison in our ranks. He
tried to hinder the drawing of
Negro workers into the lighting
ranks Of the working class and
tried to appeal to the most back
ward sentiments of white workers
to enable him to carry through
this disruptive work. He was also
an anti-Semite.
