their aid to conquer cOunter-revO-
luton at home and the coalition
Of armies Of all European reaction
which were advancing upon revOIu-
tiOnary France.
The French Revolution of 1898
solved the tasks of the bourgeois rev.
olution in a ''pIebeian" revolutionary
democratic manner, differing in this
respect, for example, from the revo-
luton Of 1913 in Germany, for the
latter developed under the leadership
Of the counter-reYoluGonary liberal
hourgeoisie-who betrayed the revo-
luton by coming to terms with the
aristocTacy The revolution of 1848
in Germany was incomplete. 1t not
only failed to strike real blow at
the task Of the bourgeois transforma-
ton Of Germany, from above, -
under the leadership Of the Junkers.
The fact that the monarchy existed
in Germany until November 1918,
that the big Prussian landowners
have remained untouched up to the
present day, that the Junkers of
East Prussia and the Barons have a
strong influence on the policy of the
German republic in 1882, is a strik-
ing proof Of this anti democratic,
unter-revolutionary solution Of the
tasks Of the German bourgeois revo-
luton in 1848.
SOcial-DemOcracy Supports Reaction
It is no accident that Otto Bauer
attacks democracy in this way. The
fascination of social-democracy also
finds its expression in the fact that
in the epoch Of monopoly capitalism,
which has deprived the bourgeoisie
Of the possibility of following that
democratic path which was charac-
teristic Of capitalism during the his
torical period Of its rise, social-d dem
ccracy represents an anti-democratic
party. It was precisely for this reason
that German social-democracy in
1918 did not carry the tasks of the
bourgeois revolution to their logical
conclusion, but left the Prussian
Junkers in full possession Of their
economic foundations. It is just for
this reason that the Second Interna-
tional is opposed to the plebeian
democratic method Of solving the
tasks of the bourgeois democratic
revolution in the colonies; it is fol
this reason that it supports Chang
Kai-shek against the Soviet Red
Army in China; it is for this reason
that its leaders talk Of the danger
Of upheavals in the colonies.

AKRON, Ohio--Some weeks ago the
local newspapers put on a big splurge
that the rubber plants would boost
wages 10 per cent. Not only in many
departments in Goodyear, Firestone
and other plants did the workers find
that this was more "baloney," but
Goodrich told workers there would
be no raise, as they made no profit
last year. They forgot that their
profits were $2,272,5l4 for 1888, while
Goodyear pulled down net of So
OIL ,535 In the last IL months.
In Goodrich, Department 1910 of
the Hard Rubber Division, they were
working 40 men on all four shifts,
but last week 81 from each shift got
a "furlough" Of so to 80 days, which
left but nine men on each shift, and
the other 1874 workers are put on
ice"
In Department 1860, Hose Division
in Goodrich, a number of the work
ers have been told to report, ring in
their cards, and get three hours pay
only. Some of the workers were so
disguised that they refused to ring in
and went back home. In Department
1890, Hose Division, they work only
about two days week and average
about $3.50 for the work.
In the Goodrich pitroom, Depart
ment 6565, they were supposed to get
a 10 per cent increase, but here is
how it worked out: The men were
making $3.50 a shift for 10 heats, now
they get $3.50 to $3.50 but have to

work more heats. That is, they do
% per cent more work for per cent
more pay, and so Goodrich takes an
other fat rake-off.
The Goodyear Assembly Company
union) adopted a resolution last week
proposing a so cents-an-hour mini
mum wage in the rubber industry
code.
Mr.. c. c. Slusser lets the cat out
of the bag with regard to approving
this 60 cents an hour proposal for
the code. He says that the average
wage in Goodyear was 81 cents an
hour and that competitors should be
required to pay higher minimum
than that stipulated by the code.
Thus, it would appear that the Good
year Assembly is serving well to strike
another blow at the small companies
who do not have the up-to-date
equipment of the big plants like
Goodyear. 1t is quite safe for Slusser
to approve boost in the code wages,
as his company can dodge this mini
mum as well as any other.
India Tire Grants Check-Off
The India Tire Co., one Of Akron,s
smaller plants, has recognized the A.
F. OF L. local in its plant, granted q
l212 per cent increase in pay on
March LIST, and two to 20 per cent
adjustment wage. Dues will be COL
lected by the company thru the
check-off system, and this paves the
way for this company to be the first
to use the union label on It's products.

By a Worker Correspondent

PROVIDENCE, R. 1.-The Daily
Worker" is proving to US workers in
Providence what a great organizer it
is. A few articles containing informa-
ton from one worker in the Phillips
Baker Rubber Co. plant were pub
lished in the Daily Worker" and
stirred great interest among the 400
workers in this factory. We now have
good contacts in three other depart
ments, and firm foundation on
which to build militant organiza-
ton.
The articles in the Daily, Worker
made the bosses desperate. They have
already showed the workers they want
to keep them from reading it. The
workers on the other hand have re-
acted that if this paper is no damn
good for the owners it must be real
good for the workers, and, boy, dc
they want it.
About a week ago the workers in
this factory had an old copy of the
Daily" distributed to them inserted
with a leafiet telling them to be on
the watch and new copy with an
other article, also written by "Jepru, -
would be sold to them in the near
future.
Last Friday, Feb. %, two workers
with newsboys' badges were III front
of the factory, selling Daily Workers
with the article signed "Jepru." There
were number Of workers roaming
around the front of the fac
tory. Others we're waiting in
the office and other parts OF
the mill. These workers were kept
waiting about three hours for their
miserable pays after they were
through with their work.
On seeing what the newsboys we're
selling they urged them to be sure
and save them each copy Of the
Daily Worker. Some Of them who had
only a few cents with them eagerly
bought the Daily Worker and inn
mediately gathered in groups with
other workers to read the article. One
of these workers said, I'VE can tell
you hell of lot more Of the rotten
conditions in this joint" They were
very indignant to be kept waiting
for their pay for such long time.
Two Fat Cops
After receiving their pays, the
workers began filing out Of the mill
office. They came straight to the
newsboys to buy a DAILY" After
selling a few Daily Workers, the
newsboys were confronted by two fat
cops, one in uniform, the other in
civilian clothes.
The one in uniform said, What
have you got here?" One Of the boys
! instantly answered, eve have the

Drunken Captain
TGrrOriz0S Vets
In Illinois Camp
BY a w.rld War Veteran

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-Here is Just
another little bit Of hell that Roose-
welt is giving the veterans, instead
of their due back wages (the bonus).
These vets were kept in tents in Wis
consin in 20 below zero weather Till
several got sick and had to go to the
hospital
They were then sent to the bar
racks at Pomona, which is only rail-
road station on a dinky road, Is miles
from Carbonate, Ill. At this camp,
the Jobs they got were just another
piece Of graft, something to blind the
taxpayers. The vets had to cut tele-
graph poles on the seven acres OF
ground. The poles were soon cut.
The C.W.A. workers also were put
on this lob and all the work they did
was roll the poles back and forth over
the ground for eight weeks. In an in
vestigation to find out who gave the
orders to cut poles, they found there
no such orders.
The vets here were discontinued
and it was soon a camp that was ripe
for revolution. Captain Jaimson Of
Chicago started to bring booze in the
camp, and one day disabled and
sick vet could not get out OF Jaim-
sons way fast enough, and the cap
tain showed him in the mess room
door. The mess sergeant, being good
lackey to his captain, hauled off and
hit the worker on the point Of the
Jaw, knocking him cold. While this
vet was down, this drunken rowdy
from the War Department broke sew
eral of this veteran workers ribs.
They called a farm wagon to take
the vet to Carbonate hospital tell
ing the farmer that this veteran
worker was drunk.
There were three other vets got
beat up by the mess sergeant, and
the legalized thug from the War De-
partment had the mail censored so
the real facts could not come out.
It is time the young workers in
America know what this country is
doing for US vets that put our time
in France for Wall st. The only
thing we get now is on the point of
the jaw from Roosevelt's murderous
thugs in these C.C.C. Camps, Veteran
Co. 1869, Pomona, Ill.
The camp leader was denoted on
account of protesting against the
brutality of Captain Jaimson, and
was discharged and sent back to Mil
waukee.

How to Sell the
Daily Despite
Bosses Spies

We suggest the following methods
to this worker for reaching the
workers in the rubber plant with
the Daily Worker:
l. Wrap copies Of the Daily
Worker in blank paper so the spy
can't sec what is being handed out
to the workers in the plant. A small
bundle Of copies of the Daily SO
wrapped can be left in the wash
room and elsewhere in the shop
where workers can take their
copies.
2. Have some comrades in Pas
sale who are not working in the
plant sell the 'Daily" outside of
the factory as the workers go to
work and as they leave at the end
Of the day.
3. Get the names and home ad-
dresses of the workers in the plant
and organize a group to deliver the
Daily Worker to their homes.
4. Send the names and addresses
of the workers to the Daily Worker,
so E. 18th ST., New York City, and
sample copies of the Daily" with
subscription blank will be mailed
to them.-Editor.

Cops Try to Keep Daily Worker From
Getting to Workers at Phillips Baker
Paper Finds Ready Sale, However, and Articles
Help to Start Organization Work

Daily Worker, and we have badges,
which permit us to sell any papers.
Why, what law are We breaking now9"
The cop answered, You will have to
tell it to the lieutenant"
With that the cops forced the boys
into their car and took them TO the
police station. Both boys we're kept
in the police station for two hours,
although no charge was placed
against them. They were released at
4:S0 after the day and night shifts
at the mill had changed places. Their
purpose was to keep the workers Of
the Phillips Baker Rubber Co. from
getting the Daily Worker.
On releasing the newsboys, the po-
lice lieutenant told them they were
allowed to sell papers anywhere, but
the bosses Of the Phillips Bakers
Rubber Co. have a right to object to
having these papers sold in front of
their factory.
If we were selling the News-Tri-
bune, owned by Gerry or the Evening
Bulletin owned by Senator Metcalf.
it would be all right. But we were
selling the Daily Worker, the only
workers paper in the country, and
the bosses are afraid Of it. The
Daily" tries to organize the workers
to win better conditions and higher
wages. The cops, who are the bosses
stool pigeons, try to stop the Daily"
from reaching the workers. Workers,
spread the Daily" around the shop.
Make it your paper to win better
conditions.
On the following Moniay over 80
copies of Fridays Daily" had to be
gotten to the workers. At $50, the
same two newsboys were in front of
the factory and all of the Daily
Workers were distributed to the work
ers Of the Phillips Baker Rubber Co.
The workers as they got their copy
OF the Daily instantly looked full
OF enthusiasm in getting their Daily"
All the workers in the factory
seemed to know of the arrest. One
worker asked, rs that the Daily

contaminated by back siphoning Of
water from the sewage pipes. A
similar incident occurred in a certain
industrial plant in which river water
was allowed to fill the boilers. Owing
to existing cross-connections between
the city water supply and the infected
river water large number of work
ers in the factory and the offices con-
tracted amebic dysentery and typhoid
fever.
These two instances which recently
occurred in your city are sufficient in
themselves to show how vitality inn
portant it is for the health of the
workers to have modern sanitary
plumbing and how useful plumbers
are in civilized community. Our
sarcasm was directed to those plumb
ers, who, instead Of working at their
trade, try to become doctors by con-
ferring the title of chiropractor upon
themselves.

PARTY LIFE
Dist. 8 Expels Henry Lobeo"
of Home OaUnerS Federation
Based His York on LegaIistic Methods Rether
Than Mass Action of Workers

will defeat the very purpose for which
they have organized. Time and again
we called it to the attention Of L.
Beau and the other comrades IN
this movement. The District Secre-
tariat has tried to correct the line
and policy pursued by LaBeau, bat
to no avail.
In a very dishonest manner he
tried at first to create the impress
sion that the District leadership
agrees to his line as against the line
of the Section Committee. The Party
does not control through dictatoriaI
force any non-Party organization.
But it is the foremost duty Of the
Party and its members to propose
and try to win the workers to q
correct policy, and under no ctr
cuunstances, propose incorrect poll
cies to the workers.
This is what LaBeau could not un-
do~~t9~d FTis 1ong years association
with different so-called radical move
ments, conglomeration Of I.W.W ism
and reformism, he could not over
come. On many occasions his ideas
had to be corrected. And when
finally pressed by the Party to work
for a correct program within the
Fonoe owners movement and he "re-
signed" from the Party stating that
he still believes in Marx and Lenin
but does not agree with the policy
of Section and District 8 in re-
CARDS to mass organizations.
So he sets himself up as the only
correct INTERPRETER of the line Of
Marx and Lenin, as against the
Party. Under the cloak Of adhering
to the line of Marx and Lenin he
is trying to hide his rank opportun-
ism in the work among the home
owners.
The Section Committee hereby
points out to the membership that a
member who disagrees with the line
of the Party has the full right to
present his views But when one is
openly fighting the Party and its line,
this is incompatible with principles OF
Communist organization, and there
fore. it was decided to expel Henry
LaBeau from the Communist Party.
We call upon the entire membership
of the Section to fight against the
opportunist line and policy Of La
Beau. We must intensity our work
in and support the Home Owners
Federation. bring forward and fight
for militant class struggle policy
in the Federation and win the work
ers for a program which will be
help and not detril1ent to the in
terests of the Home Owners.

The District Committee fully en-
dorses the decision of Section 8, and
asks the CC.C. to publish this state
ment in the Daily Worker.

MEDICINE AND PLUMBING

Victor Med Chicago. 1t is far
from our mind to behttle the plumb
ing trade or art" as you prefer to
call it. On the contrary, every scien-
tific physician knows, or ought to
know, that sanitary plumbing is one
of the most important safeguards of
our health and that it did more to
stamp out the prevalence of certain
diseases than drugs.
We have had an illustration of
what defective plumbing can do, in
the recent outbreak of amebic dysen-
terry In your own City of Chicago.
It has been established that this
disease, which started in two Of your
hotels and spread to FOG cities, was
due to the Anticipated plumbing which
allowed the sewage to back into the
basement where the iceboxes and the
water used for drinking purposes were

Campaign to Build the English
Section
On March LIST the campaign started
for the building and strengthening of
the English section. This campaign
concerns not only the English
branches. 1t is the problem Of the
whole Order.
In order to carry through this cam
paign effectively, all City Central
Committees must select definite Sec
lions of their cities where to build
English branches, or where to
strengthen existing English branches.
Then they must mobilize the mem
bers Of all branches, and work the
selected territory by systematic dis
tribution Of our propaganda material,
by house-to-house solicitation, etc.
All of the branches, irrespective of
their language, must discuss the prob
lem of approaching the workers in
the shops about the TWO, bring
these workers to the propaganda
meetings that will be arranged for
