Party. 1t is bravely battling against the
fascist menace in Ireland 1t is organizing
and drawing increasing numbers of the
Irish American workers around the in

tackling this problem They are organizing workers
shock brigades to ensure regular help to build the
Irish revolutionary press
This is matter of urgent concern for all Ameri-

ment. The Daily Worker is taking up the cudgeIs
on behalf of our Irish comrades. 1t asks for tbe
raising of $1,000 to purchase proper press equipment

ZdnSner Robs the Ballot Box

NEVER in the history of District Council
IN of the Painters Brotherhood has
there been witnessed such a crooked and
scandalous election of officers as the one
which took pace last Saturday.
Zausner's mobsters packed the polling
places, drove members from the polls,
repeated votes and robbed Louis Weinstock, the
rank and file candidate, OF over 1900 votes
But zausner will not ride back into Office, de-
spite the fact that by hook crook he got ATT
more votes than Weinstock! Revolt against the
corrupt election has already reached a high stage
The majority of the members of the Brother
hood demand new election
There is also move afoot to stop the payment
OF the per capita tax to the District Council as
long zausner is in Office
In fact, the majority Of the Brotherhood mem
bership considers Weinstock elected. And he was
elected all honest people who observed the voting
admit.
These elections marked the beginning of the
end of the rotten zausner regime in District Coun-
Gil g.
zausner and his whole crooked gang must go
and along with them all of his class collaboration
policies. Weinstock the rank and file candidate
who really is the choice of the men, must take
Office at once.
The painters should insist on this.
1hey must not allow the will of the majority
TO be overridden by a pack of thieves.
The united front which the painters have formed
IN the locals must now be strengthened and broad
ened The fight for rank and file control must
be sharpened
zausnerS victory will be victory for the
bosses. LIST let that happen
Close your ranks painters, and drive this gang
leader out of your organization
Repudiate these fraudulent elections. Demand
honest elections! Seat Weinstock and continue the
fight for the rank and file program

LEGATION Of the SMWIU. statement and proposals
together with Aliens minority report This material
should be given the widest possible circulation in
the plants and mills. It should be used as the
basis for a unified movement OF A. A. and S. M
W. L o. members to force the adoption of S. M
W. I. U. proposals-the only ones that deal funda-
mentally with the question OF labor relations" in
steel and whose adoption and enforcement will
result in breaking down the absolute company con-
troll over the stel workers that now prevails.
1t is now more than ever necessary for steel
workers to assert themselves in the most aggressive
fashion to their elementary political rights
the right TO organize, the right to meet free from
police and company gunner interference and
attack the right to distribute any kind Of literature
and appeals, the right to choose the kind Of union
organizations they want, the right to elect their
representatives free from arbitrary company coer-
cion, forcible or otherwise.
ROosevelts steel labor relations board will
guarantee none of these rights. Its main Job Is
to split the ranks of the steel workers and keep
them passive. It's job is the same as that of
Green and Tighe-but the board is an official gov
eminent agency. The struggle of the steel workers
for the elementary rights therefore is more than
ever a battle with n r. A. The struggle has to
be conducted directly against the anti-labor acts

German Capitalists Adj
nit Thaelmann Is
Central Issue

French social democracy may adopt,
irrespective of the decision already
adopted by the leaders of the Swiss
social democracy, and of the fact
that the leaders of the British La
bour Party keep silent and hide the
matter from their members, the
Communist Parties will suswerv-
ingly continue and develop the
struggle for the united front of the
working class against fascism.
against war, and to save Thael-
mann.
HOWEVER hostile, following the
III example of the Swiss social
democrats, the reply of the social
democratic leaders may be to the
proposal of the Communists to or
ganize a joint united front of strug-
gle, however they may foam at the
mouth and declare the struggle
against the split in the ranks of
the working class to be Commu-
mist maneuver, for us Communists
land we hope for the broad masses
of social democratic and reformist
workers also) the united front of
the working class, the unity of ac-
ton of the proletariat is and will
continue to be great and serious
matter, a sacred matter.
We Communists do not for min
ute intend to abandon our political
and organizational independence,
and the independence OF the Com
munist Party. We do not think it
possible to unite the Communist
International and the Second IN
ternational. But we have firmly
resolved with all our strength to
strive for and to ensure the unity
of action of the proletariat in the
struggle against their class enemies.
Formerly, many social democratic
workers, members of the reformist
trade unions and functionaries in
these organizations did not under
stand this, but now, in face of the
monstrously growing danger of fas-
cism and war, they are realizing
more and more that the Commu-
nists not only do not represent an
obstacle in the path towards the
adjustment of the unity of the
working class, but on the contrary
contribute to this unity most of all.

The Struggle for Unity Of Action goinst Fascisn'

Party expressed their readiness to
stop all criticism of the social
democrats during the period of
joint activity in every locality
where protest demonstrations take
place.
The Executive Commission of the
Social Democratic party of Switz-
erland has sharply rejected the
proposal of the Swiss Communist
Party. AS characteristic of the
unbearable tone of this reply, it is
sufficient to give a single extract:
IF the Communist Party of
Switzerland calls on us to partici-
pate in demonstrations in front
of the Germany embassy and
consulateS, we must demand that
the Communist Party of Switz-
erland should hold demonstra-
tions in front Of the Russian con-
suiates in those countries where
it is possible"
1t is needless to polemize against
such proposals.
Up to the moment when these
lines are being written, (June Is,
1884. the leaders of the British
Labor Party have not found time
enough to reply to the proposal
made by the Secretariat of the
Communist Party of Great Britain.
OUCH are the facts. We only wish
y to add few remarks to these
facts. The bourgeoisie, especially
the German fascists, correctly esti-
mate the unity of action of the
working class as the greatest
danger of capitalism. They correctly
estimate the personal importance of
Comrade Thaelinann and the impor-
tance of the defense of him in the
development of the anti-fascist
struggle. In connection with the
proposal of the Communist Party
OF France to the French social
democrats, one of the leading Jour-
nails of German big capital, the
"Berliner Baerenzeitung" wrote
that:
I'VE here, cannot remain indif-
erent to the fact that in order to
save Thaelmann' the French
Communists are preparing big
meetings and street demonstra-
tons in Paris. Rheims. Lille,
Strassbourg, Bordeaux, MarseiIles
and other towns, and have even
succeeded in melting the French
social democrats to participate in
this campaign and to form
united front"

200 FOundrymen on
Strike in Cleveland
Rank and File Leads;
Otis Mill Shuts
Down Today

CLEVELAND, O., July 1. - Two
hundred workers in the Ohio Foun-
dry Co. steel mill, organized into
the Federation Moulders Union,
struck Friday under rank and file
leadership after presenting de-
mands for an IS cents per hour
wage, which was refused by the
company. The action was the re-
suit of the shop committees con-
sultation with the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union, which
assisted in drawing UP the demands,
and advised the men to strike when
the demands were rejected.
Federation leaders attempted to
prevent the strike with talk that
the company would close the plant
and that the Roosevelt appointed
Steel Board will take care of their
grievances. The workers put an end
to waiting and promises by forcing
a vote for strike, which was unani-
mously carried.
Mass layoffs are taking place in
other Cleveland steel mills. The
huge Otis Steel Plant, which few
days ago reported a net six-month
profit of a million dollars, will close
down completely Saturday. Rumors
are it will reopen on July 5.

Proposals of Communist
Parties for Thael-
mann Drive
BY Bella KUN

DURING the last week three Com
y munist Parties have approached
three social democratic parties with
the proposal to organize joint &C
tivity to save the leader of the Ger
man proletariat, Comrade Ernst
Thaelmann, from the hands of the
fascist eXecutioners.
The struggle to save Thaelmann
is a struggle to lioerate all anti
fascist fighters in Germany, in Aus
tria, and in all countries where
fascism is triumphant. Communists
have not hesistated for a minute
when it has been a question of saw
ing the lives of those anti-fascist
fighters who were at one time in the
ranks of Austrian social democracy
or were non-Party workers, and who
undertook a struggle against the
oppressors of the working class.
The Central Committee of the
Communist Party of France has
proposed to the Administrative Com
mission of the Socialist Party of
France to organize joint demonstra-
lions and protest meetings in a
number of the chief industrial CEN
tiers In the country, especially in
those towns where there are con-
sulates of Hitler's government.
The Central Committee. of the
Communist Party OF Switzerland
has sent delegation to the chair
man of the social democratic party
of Switzerland with similar pro-
posal, namely, to organize joint
demonstration against German fas-
cism with view to saving Thael-
mann.
The Central Committee of the
Communist Party of Great Britain
has made a proposal in the same
spirit to the Labour party, and to
the leading bodies of the reformist
trade unions and the Cooperatives.
AT personal interview between
the representatives of the Socialist
Party of France and the Commu-
mist Party of France, the social
democrats expressed their agree
ment with the Communist proposal
on condition that during the period
OF joint activity the Communist
Party will refrain from any polemics
against the social democrats. The
representatives Of the Communist

stand, the fascist journal attacks
the movement to organize the
united front of Communist and So
cial democrat workers. This attack
is dictated by the interests of Ger
man fascism, and the interests of
capitalism in general.
The very fact of such a reaction
by Hitherto fascism to the united
front of the international prole-
tariat which is developing against
German fascism is sufficient to show
that in proposing to act in unison
with the social democratic parties,
the Communist Parties acted cor
rectIy. This step is a correct one
not only because the Communist
Parties have made this proposal re-
peatedly despite the fact that after
Hitler came to power the Second
International forbade the social
democratic parties to organize ac-
tivity jointly with the Communists
against Hitherto fascism. The Sec
ond International acted in this way
despie the fact that the Commu-
mist International, in its manifesto
of March S, 1893, proposed to its
sections that they cease attacks on
social democracy during the period
of Joint activity. The significance
of the new proposals made by the
Communist Parties to the leading
bodies of the social democratic par
ties also does not consist only in
the fact that Swiss social democracy
has again proved that it prefers
class collaboration with the bour-
geoisie to the united front with the
Communist workers, that the Brit
ish Labour Party has not even
deigned to reply to the proposal for
united action, and that the French
socialists have made the joint strug-
gle against fascism dependent on
conditions such as imply violation
OF working class democracy.
At the present moment, as these
lines are being written, we still do
not know what decision the Ad-
ministration Commission of the
Socialist party of France will arrive
at when it hears the report of its
representatives who negotiated with
the representatives of the Commu-
MIST Party. We do not know what

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July IA
mass meeting and demonstration
against war will be held Tuesday,
4:30 pm, at 32nd Street and Gray's
Ferry Ave, under the auspices of
the United Workers Organizations
of South Philadelphia. The demon
stration will take place in front of
the Philadelphia plant of the Du-
Pont Company, giant munitions
manufacturers, and only a short
distance from the Philadelphia
Navy Yard.
At the time of the demonstration
six battleships, with 1900 sailors,
will be in port to help arouse the
jingoistic war feeling among Phila-
delphia workers, and it is vital that
they be shown that the workers are
violently opposed to another i'm
perialist war, and are taking or
ganized steps to prevent it.
