But the c, P. is gaining very many
new members among the workers
and intellectuals.
Defeatist s. P. theology
The mistakes of the uprising were
mistakes which arose out Of the
theology of the S. P.
IA revolution on the defensive
is ipSo facto lost. The order of the
S. P. was don't attack, defend"
2-The order for the general
strike was given without the work
ers having had sufficient smaller
strikes beforehand. In addition, the
word was not generally given.
3-The S. P. understimated the
strength and importance of the pro-
letariat and overestimated the
strength of its small military troop,
the Schutzbund.
The S. P. did not take all the
illegality seriously, so that nearly
all the leaders were arrested on the
first day without the necessary
plSSdAbAplAS HAVING pCCll OcehCA w
prevent it, and every sort of leader
ship was missing. The organization
was destroyed in the moment when
the party was declared illegal.
Out of these principle mistakes
arose the many tactical errors, as
for instance: the failure to take
over the radio broadcast station at
Bisamberg (Which is not far from
Floridsdorf); the failure to pull up
the railroad tracks, despite the fact
that the Schutzbund was in posi-
ton to do it; the failure to take
over printing press during the
entire time only Communist PAM
phlets appeared, etc.
Ont Of all this one sees the
strength of the proletariat, a
small part of which, despite these
grave errors, was able to hold out
against the entire forces of the
government and the patriotic de-
Tense organizations for "a days.
The work Is progressing wonder
fully, and is exceedingly satisfac-
tory.
Comradely,

POttsuiIIe Mine Local
Backs HR7508 Bill

with full wages whether you work
or not"
Carl HERNIA took the floor and
quoted the paragraph of Workers
Bill HR. 1898 where is states, Equal
to average local wages In no case
shall the unemployment insurance
be less than $40 per week plus So
for each dependent"
Father Coughlin has no kind of
insurance bill introduced in Con-
gress. He has made demagogic
speech through the radio only.
All members voted in favor Of the
bill, but T. Howells, Socialist in
last election campaign, with Re
publican ballot in his right pocket, a
Democratic ballot in his left pocket
and a Socialist ballot in his inside
coat pocket, voted against the bill
by himself.

There was neither q central lead
ership, because the S. P. leaders.
with the exception of Bauer and
Deutsch, were arrested Monday
noon, nor was there a leadership
in the respective Gemeinde houses.
Wherever there were Communists
in the besieged houses, they fought
side by side with the S. P workers
and showed the character of our
party. The fight in the Gemeinde
houses lasted two to three days
In some places the fighting went
on for four days. Whenever the
police entered the captured houses,
they found them empty. The
Schutzbund men escaped through
back doors. Even in Karl Marx Hof,
which was half destroyed by the
artillery, and where the fighting
lasted three days, not a single
Schutzbund member was there to
be arrested.
In the gas work Leopoldau there
we're 3 workers representatives, 2
from the S. P. and l Communist.
Both the S. P delegates gave them
selves up to the police on Monday,
but the Communist led the strike
and this strike lasted longer than
any of the others in Vienna. To-
day the police have placed re-
ward on his head, but they will not
find him.
Also in the provinces the Party
showed its nature. The admins
tration has today lifted the martial
law after having hanged 1920 rev.
dictionary workers, and after hav-
ing given long prison terms to many
others. Well known s. P. func-
! tionaries and many Communist in
tellectuals are today left without
any legal defense, as in Germany
(The government has arrested all
the lawyers who were known to be
sympathetic TO the revolutionary
nnovement). Through accident C
c. member was arrested.
The workers are terribly bitter
and full of hate and, in those places
where the c. P. is too week, some
of them are going over to the Nazis

out. The next day stickers were
passed all around the establishment
with the word strike" printed on
them. The day after this the strike
became a fact. After at least six
hours passed, the management re-
called the 10 per cent wage reduc-
ton.
The result Of the strike, on the
one hand, was the material results.
having defeated the wage reduction;
on the other hand, the political
result was that even the Fascist fac
tory nucleus had to be dissolved in
having become politically unreliable
for the boss, and the nucleus of the
revolutionists increased 300 per cent.
In the forced labor camps, where
Hitler is making an effort to mill
tarize the proletarian youth of
Germany, refusals to obey orders
and strikes of the youth increased
to the point where Hitler had to
liquidate some of these camps. In
the last four months alone $50
such strikes occurred.
Comrades, the growth of the revo-
lutionary upsurge is also shown il
the storm troops of Hitler's brown
army. The disappointment about
the policy of the Hitler government
against a second revolution, the dis
appointment about the continuation
Of the power and rule of monopoly
capitalism growing every day, even
IN the ranks of the storm troopers
is rampant. Hitler has not only
100000 anti-fascists in the concen-
tration camps; he even now has
concentration camps for his own
storm troopers, whom he tortures
and murders with the same hestial-

POTTSVILLE, Pa.-Local 900 of
the U.MWA., in its regular meeting
on March 10, 1884, has gone on rec
ord to endorse the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill
CHR. 1899 and to send the en-

Brum.
While the miners discussed the
subject, noted labor misleader,
Thomas Howells has showed his
double face again. At first he said
This bill is a good bill, I have
fought all my life time for the labor
bills" Then he twisted his face and
said: This bill is asking only $40
week which is not sufficient for
big family to live on. Father
Coughlin will propose a better bill

Workers Of the Seymour Waldman
United States ~ '''0'
Steel Corpora
ton, General Motors, the varied
Mellon interests, the Rockefeller
and other giant monopolist exploit
ers, are things to be sucked dry,
shot down when militant and
thrown on the hellfsre heap when
too old to slave. Creating illusions
means delay and expense for bullets
and machine guns. In fact, these
rulers don't want any unions, not
even company unions.
That is why the big corporations
opposed the Wagner Labor Disputes
Bill despite its provisions for com
pulsory arbitration and strike
breaking. That is why finance ca
pital has served notice on Roose-
welt that the so-csled BSain Trust
is not necessary at the present time,
that in short it has overstayed its
welcome.
Much nonsense is being written
about this Brain Trust. To clear
away some Of the rubbish one need
only repeat what is known to in
formed people. Considered frankly
as mice boys" by Roosevelt, they
were allowed to chirp all over Wash
ington about their planning and
other capitalist distractions so that
they might divert the militant class
consciousness Of the workers.
They were necessary denagogy
for capitalism Avowed reaction in
the person of Herbert Hoover had
been defeated. The masses thought
they were really electing basic inn
provement by sending Hoover back
to Palo Alto and bringing Roose-
welt from Hyde Park. Hence the
show had to be arranged so that it
would seem that something was
being done for the workers. And so
while the Richbergs, Wolnans,
Wagners. Perkinses, Dreisers and
other liberal fronts chanted about
the New Deal" and labor's new
charter" the Johnsons, Gerard
Swopes, John L. Lewises, William
Greens and Sidney Hillmans went
about the systematic work of codi-
flying on-establishing a
wage scale, for the overwhelming
majority of workers, lower than that
suffered under Hoover! And the
lower the standard of living was
forced under the New Deal" the
more shameless and the more stri-
dent became the ballyhoo. Bit by
bit more of the fist was revealed
underneath the proverbial velvet
glove.
Now that the profits have been
greatly restored and the workers
have been given wages they fought
against twenty and thirty years ago,
the liberal act is considered over.
The owners do not even want their
sleight-of hand men around to re-
mind them Of what tricks we're
pulled off on credulous workers.
Thus the entrance into the ma
tional spotlight of the hitherto OBJ
scure DR.. Writ, Superintendent of
Schools of Gary, Indiana, the steel
town which breathes only at the
whim Of the United States Steel
Corporation, is not an accident
Despite whatever ridiculous his
toricsl comparisons Writ may con-
tinue to make, he voices the senti-
ments of finance capitals most
powerful segrnents. Stripped of all
the blather about Roosevelt being

COmrade Puro referred to the many
strikes and struggles which the far
mers have conducted. The party,
he declared. has given leadership
through the United Farmers League
and other militant Independent
left-wing organizations, to these
struggles.
He related the progress Of the
party's work for the united front,
the Washington and Chicago con-
ference of the farmers, the estab-
hshment Of committees Of action,
gaining the support mot only Of
the most militant left wing, but also
a great portion Of the rank and file
of the old line farm organizations
and unorganized farmers. Under
the leadership Of our party the
sharecroppers union in the South
has been organized, numbering al
ready seven to eight thousand def
nitely organized Negro share crop
/ pers.
Workers and Farmers Struggles
Extended.
Farm struggles have been carried
on. Comrade Puro declared, in joint
action with the workers, under the
party's guidance, farmers aiding
workers strikes and unemployed
movements, and workers aiding the
farm strikes and struggles for re-
lief Comrade Puro emphasized the
necessity Of building the Agricul-
tural Workers Union, which has
conducted such militant strikes on
the Pacific coast, and is now active
in the south.
These farm struggles are now as
Stunning a high political character.
CAS- Communists, We must be able
to note the political character of
these struggles and to utilize them
to give political revolutionary edu-
cation to the participants, to bring
forward in these struggles the revo-
lutionary aims of the party"
Comrade Puro then discussed the
role Of the demagogs and social fas-
ciSts in the farm movement, agents
Of the capitalists the progressive
capitalists" like Norris, the Social
list Party, which is now trying to
enter the farm field.
Farmer Labor Party Dangerous
Fascist Party.
THE most dangerous of these
third party movements is the Far
mer Labor Party" said Conrade
Pro. Mr. Olson, Minnesota Far
mer Labor Governor, now calls
himself red and a radical, in order
to win over the farmers. The more
radical phrases they use, the more
dangerous they are. They are try
ing to win over the farmers who
are closest to us"
"The Farmer Labor movement
is a real danger to us and we
even have concrete examples
that it is trying to penetrate into
our ranks. For example, the adj
herence to the Farmer Labor
movement, of COmrade Taylor,
who recently was the national
chairman of the United Farmers
League. In his letter COmrade
Taylor stated that the Farmer
Labor Party can be utilized as a
movement toward revolution, if
not into the revolution itself.
This means that there is no need
for the Communist Party This
means the liquidation of the
Communist Party. Comrade Tay-

Communist Worker Gives Eyewitness
account of S. p. Tactics In Vienna

The following letter from
member Of the Communist Party
of Austria was recently received
by an American friend, whom it
finally reached after successfully
getting through the DoIlfuss CEN
sOrShip.
It gives a vivid account Of the
Vienna events as seen by an eye
witness politically mature enough
to draw the full lessons of what
he saw.
1t adds another piece of evidence
to the overwhelming picture Of
treachery and misleadership that
has already piled up In regard to
the leadership Of the Austrian
Socialist leaders. It should be of
great interest to all workers, SOci-
aIist as well as Communist.

Dear Comrade:
On Feb. 18th at 10 minutes past
10 O'Clock, the street cars in all
Vienna suddenly stopped running,
because the workers in the Electric
station had gone on strike. How
ever. though street car workers
knew nothing about the strike, be-
cause they had not been informed
of the impending strike. They re-
NAMED in their cars till night time
and waited for some word from
their party Is. P) or from the
administration. The word Of the
S. P. to the workers, however, was
in so far as there was a word
given out-"Renain at home, dc
not venture on the streets"
Therefore, on the first day Of the
uprising" one saw only excited
groups Of petty bourgeois on the
streets. The S. P. had not even
attempted to draw the railroad
workers into the strike. The union
had, therefore, presumably given
the order for the general strike, but
in reality the only ones who knew
about it were the workers in the
e power plant and the gas workers
and the workers in a few other
industries, e. g. Anker Bread
Sammer bread, etc.
In the Graf and Stiff factory
Brann and Bovary and in the
Siemans factory the workers had
already spontaneously gone or
strike in the week before the 18th
of February.
Masses without Orders
The S. P. was therefore satisfied
to mobilize the Schutzbund (tht
military organization of the S. p
but completely overlooked the i'm.
portance of the proletariat for 6
forceful overthrow, or, at least, up
rising, whereas the workers received
no instructions aside from the vel
known admoliition to remain al
home and not to let themselves b'
provoked, and no pamphlet
were distributed it was not ever
attempted to take over a printing
press. The Schutzbund men re
ceived instructions to defend tn
Gemeinde houses (the worker
houses built by the S. P).
Instead of going out in the street
and drawing the workers into tn
fight, they were locked up in tn
Gemeinde house. They (the Schultz
bund) lost all contact with tn
other besieged houses and with tn
masses, because the workers VII
did not live in the Gemeind
houses we're not able to come t
their aid.
