from the inside, in their own name
the Communist Party Unit in the
Navy Yards.
The Union leaders will soon find
this paper one of the most powerful
means for modifying the workers
for correct militant tactics in fight
ing the employers Tin this the
United States Government). And
Of course it will be the most m
portant means for opening the eyes
of the Navy Yard workers to class
consciousness, and rally them fo- the
final aim Of the Communist Party
the overthrow Of the capitalist system,
and the establishment o. a Soviet
America with all that this implies.
But to become such an effective
WeN)on to lead the workers in their
economic struggles and their final
political aims, the yard Voice" in
its future issues, must strike a better
balance. The first issue tries to &C
complish this comprehensive task,
but betrays certain amount OF in
experience. 1t tries to accomplish
the whole Communist program at
once, and Civ the workers too much
to digest in one dose.
The yard workers are suffering
from certain illusions which must be
the various A. F. of l.. locals in the
Yards, or how the members of these
locals can fight the leadership of the
Metal Trades Council, which has a
strangle-hold on the organized work
erS there. 1t does not tell the I'M
organized workers how they can
struggle. 1t doesn't even mention the
word united front" under such a
complicated organizational situation.
1t does not explain the role of the
company union. Even in It's intro
ductory article, telling what the Com
munist Party stands for, it says
nothing about the Communist Party
championing the workers in their
day-to-day struggles.
Basically what is the shortcoming
OF this paper? ThcIgh it is a shop
paper, it does nc handle the problems
OF the shop adequately. 1t takes up
only two shop problems-the restora-
ton of the wage-cut and the status
of the apprentices.
The article analysing the set-backs
received in the struggle for the
restoration of the wage-cut is good.
1t exposes the anti-employee, and
pro-employer tactics of the Metal
Trades Council, and how 1t stifed
the mass action of the yard workers,
and how the A. F. of l.. leadership as
whole stifled the mass action of all
federal employees. Here was good
chance to combat that illusion the
workers have that you can't fight the
government, for actually the federal
employees did fight the government
were partially successful, for they
including the Yard workers, are on
their way to getting back part of
their cut.
Now the paper, aside from endors-

Hundreds Of copies we're sold and

shattered before they can understand
and asSimilate our program as a
practical program. One Of these illu-
sions Is that you can't fight the gov
eminent. Another is that intensified
war preparations will be beneficial to
them because they are in war In
dustry.
Now these are practical problems
that must be met. But in all its
political material-and there is a
great wealth of political material in
this first issue-the paper does not
meet these two burning problems
squarely. In fact the question of war
is dealt with in two articles-in
analyzing the Roosevelt budget and
in Analysing the inminence of war.
In both Of these the first approach
should have been this very natural
desire Of an unclasS-2onsciouS worker
in the yardS-an expanding arma-
ments building program, in order to
get more work. We must show them
that the claim that war will bring
prosperity to the war-production
workers is a myth. With all the In
creased activity in war production
there have been very few workers
added to this production apparatus
because of the speed-up and wages
have been cut again and again. Our
fight must be strong organization
to fight speed-up and wage-cuts.
The Anti-War Campaign
We will never rally these workers to
an anti-war program by talking first
to them about five years of crisis, and
saying ''our bosses are looking
hungrily to war, to new world
slaughter, as way out" If you are
to handle at all the question of war
as the capitalist way out of the
crisis, it must be dore adequately,
explaining how the bosses find war
the only way out. You can take
nothing for granted. When you tell
them that war Is part of this sys-
tenn" and bring up such class con-
cept, you must be ready to explain
how it is part of this system" and
what "this system" is. You cannot
take for granted that they even know
there is system.
Then what is the paper telling
these workers who are producing war
ornaments, to do in the anti-war
struggles? The article says:
Our first method Of fighting
against the war makers is to
demand the elimination of the Is
per cent cut. Our wages have been
cut so that more money would be
spent for war materials, instead Of
wages. By demanding that the
huge war budget be turned over
for unemployment insurance, we
fight against war and struggle for
insurance for the inevitable day
when we are tossed aside like an
empty can"
What are we doing here2 We are
telling the workers that if they get
more of the war appropriations for
their own pockets, then less viii 90

they will again say it is the last

I am here to confess that the first

only investment of my money that

The Daily Worker really is the in

claim it made a new man out Of me.

Demand Rank and
File Delegates on
White Goods Code
(By a Needle Worker Correspondent

tBy Needle Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK-On Feb. 8 at Cooper
Union a protest mass meeting was
called by the officials Of Local 81 of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union against the pending
code for the White Goods INDUSTRY.
The code cells for a 40-hour work
week and $13 minimum.
In this industry the union has an
agreement with the manufacturers
for a 3715-hour work week and S2f
minimum for operators, and SIT
minimum for examiners and presSers,
which was gotten as a result Of a
general strike in September, 1888.
However. the officials of Local 81
never enforced the agreement. and
the workers only received a 10 per
cent increase Immediately over the
wages received before the strike. The
salaries averaged from $40 to SIS in
most of the shops.
Mary Golf, organizer Of the union,
opened the meeting an hour and a
half later than scheduled. Sensing
the unrest Of the workers, she
pleaded for quiet and order, where
upon she introduced Brother Dublin
sky, president Of the I. L. G. w. U.
After his speech. in which he said
nothing, Dubinsky was not inter
ested to hear what the workers had
to say; he took his hat and coat and
left.
The next speaker was the manager
Of the local, Brother Shore. Brother
Shore did not mention the trade, but
spoke solely about the code. He read
resolution to be sent to President
Roosevelt and the N. R. A. admins
tration, appealing to them to secure
decent living wage in the code and
a 25-hour work week. At this point
worker demanded to know more
definitely the minimum wage, and
another worker insisted upon en-
forcing the agreement.
A worker made a proposal that q
rank and file deegation be elected to
accompany Mr.. Shore to Washington
to combat the code. The workers
cheered and supported the proposal.
The so-called ushers and other Off
cials attempted to intimidate the
workers, but all rallied to the defense
Of the worker making the proposal
and demanded that she be heard.
Miss Golf claimed that since there
were only 5000 workers present and
$4,000 in the trade, it could not be
acted upon, although it was enough
for Mr.. Shores resolution.
Thereupon she declared the meet
ing was adjourned. Not one worker
left the hall, but all insisted that the
proposal be acted upon. Brother
Shore had left the meeting as soon
as he saw the determination Of the
workers.
The officials turned the lights out
and called the cops. and yet the
workers remained. The worker who

derStand that the DEVELOPMENT and

the employers who constantly use
this method of splitting the ranks
Of the working class. The question
of apprentices supp,anting mechanics
at apprentice wees, is handled only
from the point of view Of the appren-
tees, and the problem created for
the mechanics is ignored. Sill they
call for support from the other
workers in the yard for their demands

And without showing any sympathetic

Worker Correspondence
How about the other departments?
We have contacts in quite a number of
other departments, but one could
never guess it from the paper. And
there is only one letter from a
worker. This is perhaps natural in
first issue, and the appeal for more
in subsequent issues should bring re-
sultS,-at least we hope so in view Of
the fact that the paper gives no adj
dress.
The paper is very attractive tech
nically, photographed in a neat man
ner with many typographical errors,
however,, and with good illustrations.
The issuing of Party paper in
this very important war industries
plant is an achievement toward put
ting into effect the Open Letter and
the program of the 18th Plenum re-
solution. Now, in future Issues, the
comrades should learn from this first
experience not to handle too many
political problems at once. No one
expects you to hand out to these
Navy Yard workers the entire pro-
gram and all the Party campaigns in
one issue. 1t is better at first to
handle one or two political subjects
only, but give them a clear, careful,
elementary analysis, linked up as
closely as possible with the conditions
in the yards.
And don't forget that in addition
to being Party organizers, you are also
Union organizers. The Party unit in
the shop is the fraction of the union
in the shop - the class conscious
Union organizers in the shop. If the
unit becomes more sensitive to its
task of building up Union organiza-
ton in the shop. and the clear con-
crete handling Of the immediate day
to-day problems of the yard workers,
it will become the leader that any
Party organ should be anywhere, and
especially in such strategic shop.
Reach the workers with your political
program through their immediate
interests. Keep your high political
level, but reach the workers by build
ing the highway to them--the Union.
