Hitlerites Retreat

T1ltloTltoB Hetfeat
Just before the parade got under
way the committee came back from
the German Consulate with a re-
port that the resolutions had been
accepted, and that the swastika
was removed. This was considered
a great victory for the workers of
Portland. Slogans such as I'VE de-
mand unemployment and social in
surance," Down with war and fas-
cism," and Down with forced labor
and MIRA slave coolest" were
shouted along the march.
Sing international"
The Demonstration broke up with
the singing of the Internationale,
and some songs by the Young Pr
oneers
BY this time a Red Flag had
been hoisted high on the flag pole
of the City Hall. The workers re-
joiced at its appearance. This was
great ending. Mayor Carson who
three hours before had upheld the
flying of the swastika, was now
faced with much embarrassment.
The swastika was down and the
Red Flag was flying over the House
of the City Government. Commits
sioner Bennett and the Mayor tried
to get the jag down without at
tracing much attention, but they
called the fire department and it
took them over an hour to remove
it. Workers booed them as they
worked frantically. They had to
use pole climber spurs to get it
down.

How We Organize
National Lumber Workers
Union OrganizatiOnal Guide

tatiOn must be linked up with a
systematic political agitatiOnal work
to make the lumber workers under
stand the reasons for the crisis in
the lumber industry, the wage cuts,
the effects of the MIRA etc. Also to
develop among them the under
standing the reasons of their low
conditions. We must carry on a
consistent fight against the terror
list methods and red scare" Of the
lumber operators and their agents.
Methods of Work
The basic method Of carrying
through all of our work for the de-
velopment of our Union and for the
organization Of strikes is the united
front policy. This means that MI
WI involves in its whole activity,
the drawing together Of employed
and unemployed, foreign born, Ne
groes, women and youth.
The NLWU in it's struggles con-
stantly fights against every attempt
on the part of the lumber operators
and their agents (AFL, Al, and
IWW leaders, etc, to drive disunity
among the ranks of the lumber
workers. The NLWU struggles to
draw together the membership of
the union with the rank and file
membership of the boss controlled
unions and organizations, estab
fishing opposition groups within for
the purpose of establishing broad
democratically elected united front
organs of struggle jointly for the
immediate demands from the lum-
Der companies and the government,
with broad rank and file controlled
strike committees.
Finances
The National Lumber Workers
Union receives no outside source
of income. IL is based on its own
membership and the lumber work
ers that are drawn into it's activi-
ties through the Union. In order to
carry out our work successfully, we
must devise ways and means for
raising finances, from among our
own ranks and the unorganized
workers. The basic form of finances
for the Union are the regular dues
payments. This must be done by the
branches and local secretaries and
delegate organizers collecting dues
from the membership which must
be transferred Immediately to the
respective headquarters. Aside from
dues payments the press and organ
national stamps must be sold. This
guarantees the union substantial
income for it's work. Other methods
of raising finances can be used
such as arranging dances, affairs,
picnics, entertainments, etc. A strict
accounting of finances and report
ing same, posting of receipts and
expenditures must be made. Use
numbered duplicate receipts and
numbered receipts of expenditures,
so as to make it easy for the audit
ing committee.
Use the budgeting system for the
various financial departments, for
literature, organizational supplies,
donations collections, entertain
ments, educational, etc.

District and National Committees

Continued from last week.
District and National Committees
In the Constitution, Sec. s, Para
graph l, reservations are made to
cover the districts when the Union
has expanded to this extent. In one
or two places Eureka, Aberdeen
some members are prematurely on
organization of their apparatus. In
order to form districts it is neceS-
sary that functioning locals are es-
tablshed, as the leadership will
comprise of members from the To-
Gals and without such a basis will
result in paper" apparatus. When
this basis has been established, the
National Committee will take i'm
mediate steps to establish districts
where necessary. The National
Committee shall consist of sufficient
representation from all existing
branches and locals until the period
has arrived to form districts.
Division of Work
All leading committees (mill, camp
plant, unemployed, local, national)
must departmentalize their activity
among it's members. The division of
work should be as follows: Organ
Rational, Agitational and Propa-
ganda, Women, Youth Secretary
Treasurer.
AS an example-If the branch OF
the union in a given place is small,
then the Branch Committee elects
one member to be in charge of each
division of work. The member in
charge of the organization shall be
responsible, to endeavOr having
regular meetings of the branch, to
see that the department delegates
all attend the meetings regularly,
etc. The member in charge of Agi-
tation and Propaganda shall see
that literature, leaflets, bulletins,
etc, are distributed at the place
where the Branch is situated; to be
responsible for organizing classes
on economic, political and organ
national development of the union.
The leading official of the branch
or local, must be the secretary who
is responsible for the functioning of
all divisions of work in his branch
or local.
Where the branches consist of
large membership, these divisions of
work shall be divided among COM
mittees of three or more, which will
function on a much larger scale.
Immediate Tasks
The immediate tasks of the MI
WI is to establish first the branch
es and locals. To work out demands
on the basis of general demands of
the Union, with the workers in that
vicinity; to mobilize the workers
and struggle for these demands
from the lumber companies in their
respective mill or camp and relief
from the city, county state and
national governments. To work out
the immediate demands for both the
employed and unemployed workers.
The demands and grievances of the
workers involved should be given
the broadcast publicity possible, ex-
posing the conditions of the workers
in their territories. This mass agi-

strikers as u whole on develop

the operators, but do not have the
authority TO settle the strike until
after the entire body Of strikers
involved have voted to do so by a
majority.
This form Of struggle will con-
vince the unorgauizcd workers the
COrcCtncss Of our policy. They will
readily see that it is a weapon they
can use to gain better conditions
and wages. 1t raises number of
important problems for the newly
organized branch, When the strike
or struggle is won our next job is
10 consolidate our gains, pointing
ont to the workers that we have
won as a result Of a united front
struggle and sacrifice, and these
concessions can only be retained
through organizing a strong branch
Of the union. Generally during and
after the struggle especially if it is
victorious, most Of the workers will
Join the union, and the ones that
have proved their militancy during
the struggle should be drawn into
the leadership Of the branch COM
mittee.
If the strike is defeated then the
problem Of consolidation becomes
more difficult. The leadership must
by all means never abandon the
workers after a struggle is defeat
ed. The workers will feel somewhat
defeated and partly demoralized.
This is where the union branch
must give real guidance and en-
enlargement to the workers. We
must explain boldly, without cover
ing up anything, what our mistakes
We're, analyzing the situation, why
the strike was defeated, and that
this is only a temporary defeat, be-
cause the struggle regardless how
small, is an advancement for the
lumber workers.
1t tears down the lumber operat-
ors psychology that has poisoned
the minds of the workers by the
agents propaganda, etc, that the
"lumberworkers will not stick to-
gether, they will not organize, etc.
The lumber workers must realize
that the lumber operators with the
aid of the NRA are launching new
and fresh attacks against their liv-
ing standards, our whole existence
is being attacked by a well organ
lied apparatus with the odds heaV-
ily stacked against us. BY strong
organization controlled by the rank
and file with a militant policy OF
struggle we can successfully com
bat these attacks, we can build a
union for all lumber workers which
will eventually mold such a weapon
we will be able to eliminate the
causes of our misery and starvation
and establish a society where we
can enjoy the fruits of our labor
without the fear Of oppression. We
must tighten our ranks and boldly
go forward. Organize the National
Lumber Workers Union in every
mill, camp and plant.

Other colleges may have competed
in this old game, but the Princeton

Fifty years later, in the FAN Of
1923, the survivors of those two
teams-my brother one of them-met
