Torch of Mass Struggle Bdzes Forth in the Marine In

revolutionary movement in the West
Coast strike?
The strike was initiated by the
longshoremen organized in the IN
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton. The vast majority of these
longshoremen cat least $4,000
joined the I. L. A. during the past
year when illusions about The
MA were at their highest. wait
/ for the code" was the main argu-
ment used by the takers in pre-
venting. A rank and file group strug-
| ling A rank add file group among
the longshorcmen rapidly crystal
lied, particularly around bulletin
issued by rank and filters called the
Waterfront Worker" which car
! ried on a struggle against the policy
of the officials. It was largely the
activities of this group which forced
the calling of coastWise rank and
file conference where many previous
decisions of the officials we're over
ruled and plans for a coastwise
strike laid.
Although the officials sabotaged
/ the carrying out of the decisions of
this conference and with the help
of President Roosevelt prevented
the calling of an immediate strike
the persistent work Of the opposi-
ton movement modified the long
slloremen for strike action in spite
of Rocsevelt's no-strike order which
had been accepted By the officials.
The demands of the workers also
reflect the influence of the revolu-
tionary movement. They are fer ST
an hour; the six-hour day; for hir-
ing halls controlled by the long
shoremen and for recognition of the
I. l.. A.
Workers Defeat Schemes
Until recently every effort of the
shipowners to end the strike
through terror and fake arbitration
schemes introduced by the MIRA.
and the l. L. A. officials have been
defeated by the workers, led by the
rank and file strike committees.
These strike committees we're set up
in nearly every port; in some OF
the ports they are composed mostly
Of supporters of the rank and file
group-although this group func-
toned well. prior to the strike, in
one port, Communist longshoremen
also are in these committees, play
ing an active and leading role.
While we have weak contact in a
few ports with the longshoremen
and their strike committees, we can
say that in the major and strategic
ports where systematic opposition
work has baen carried on we are a
major factcr and the strike is in
the hands of workers opposed to
the reactionary policy of the Off
Gals and that these workers are
determined to carry out a militant
class struggle program. Finally the
extent of our inflr.noe is reflected
in the fact that the I. L. A. lorg-
shoremsn in San Francisco have
made the western organ of the
Communist Party. the Western
worker, their official strike bull
letin.
In regard to the seamen. The
Marine Workers Industrial Unicn

and raised their demands and called

Active Worker DenOun,
ces Policies of S. P.
Leadership

HARTFORD, Conn, June 15,-
Denouncing the recent actions of
the Socialist Party leadership at
the Detroit Convention as leading
to the same capitulatiOn to fas-
oism which marked the recent &C
tions Of the Social Democratic
Parties in Germany and Austria,
the following statement from Dick
Farber, a leading worker in the
ranks Of the Socialist Party, here
with presents his resignation from
the Socialist Party and his sup
pert Of the Communist Party.
The statement of Farber, de-
ncuncing the working class
policies and actions of the Social
list Convention, follows similar
statements recently printed in the
Daily Worker from Walter Hack
emer, former member of the Ex-
ecutiye Committee of the Buffalo
Socialist Party local, and joe Ia
meres, member of the state Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Cali
fornia Socialist Party and former
National Organizer of the Y. P.
S. l.,
These designations from the S.
P. and the coming over to the
Communist Party indicates that a
real desire for revolutionary strug-
gle against capitalism exists
among many honest class con-
scious workers in the Socialist
Party. It is to these workers, par
tioularl". that the Central Com
mittee Of the c. P. addressed its
manifesto for United Struggle.

ESTONIA EYEINC
 PACT OF BALTICS
Possible Poland and Lith= uania Conflict Shadows
 Alliance

Reval, Estonia (UP).-The prac- tical value of the alliance recently concluded between the three Bal- tic states, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania depends on the improve ment of relations between Lith- uania ard Poland, political quar- ters here believe.
 The possibility of a conflict be- tween Poland and Lithuania in hanging like a shadow over the Baltic alliance, 1t is considered here. Lithuania's partners are con- cerned gravely over this possibility. They would welcome the final set- tlement of the Wilma conflict which alienates Lithuania from Poland.
 It is felt here that resumption of trade relations between Poland and Lithuania would relieve great ly the situation. For this reason observers are taking a lively in terest in the international railroad conference shortly to be held at Koyno, which will be attended by Polish railway experts. It is hoped that the resumption of railroad traffic between Poland and Lithu- ania will be discussed at the con- ference.
 Even Frances Eastern pact pro- posal might be revived, it was stated in politica lquarters here, If Lithuania reached an accord with Poland on the Wilma question, since in that csas case Poland would probably consent to guaranteeing Lithuania's Memel frontier.

SKELETON CLUE
 TO, NEW TRIBE

Provo, Utah (UP).-Definite proof that a tribe of highly civil ized Indians roamed the shores of Great Salt Lake during the period about 500 A. D. was believed estab- Iished when pr Albert B. Reagan, Brigham Young University an- thropologist, announced discovery of important artefacts in the re- zion.
 Major discovery was a skeleton, found during excavation of mounds believed to have been used as bur- ial grounds. Dr Reagan says the size of the skeleton indicates it is that of a woman.
 The skull is fattened at the back, resembling the cranium contour of a Pueblo skull. How ever, this characteristic is not em- phasized, which leads to the be- lief the Indians of the region were of distinct tribe.
 Other discoveries made by the Reagan party included a highly developed millstone for grinding grain, arrowheads, and implements apparently designed for household work.
 Mounds excavated are from 50 to 75 feet in diameter and from three to eight feet high. Half arc practically undisturbed.@
