Betrayed-By Whom?

he went boldly along another path.

NEW YORK.-After two years of
wandering around the streets, look
ing for Job, went back to work at
my old place where I worked before,
the Premier Art Flowers, SO E. 14th
st. I found the conditions there
better than before. We workers did
not start to work at a. m. any
longer, but at $3.50. We did have
one hour for lunch instead of As
minutes, but we stopped at $50 p. m.
as before, and worked five days a
week instead of 51A.
I asked what was the cause Of this
improvement, and I was answered
that this miracle" was performed by
the famous N r. A. Swell, I ex-
claimed And I thought of those reds
who are never satisfied. Oh, aren't
the reds wrong in putting up a sharp
criticism against the providential N.

Well, neither do I. Only the bosses
think sol So let me finish my re-

But I was partly disappointed by

only the first day we commenced to
work, but on the second day we were
forced to take only three quarters of

for ornaments. Is that what we tell
the Brooklyn Navy Yard workers is
their duty in helping to fight
against war?
This problem Of drawing workers
on war production into the anti-war
campaign is rot simple one, and
we must be very careful what kind
OF slogans We fling among them.
The important thing, together with
rousing their hatred against war, and
together with developing their class
solidarity, is to show them that if we
build up strong organization in the
plant, that In itself will help to
postpone war. For then the bour-
geoisie will know that it cannot RELY
on them during war time to manu-
facture material with which to
mangle and murder their class
brothers. That is the strategic step
in any war munitions plant-strong
organization.
We must begin to prepare these
strategic workers for our slogan of
turning imperialist war into civil war.
The way to prepare them is to arouse
their class consciousness and their
class loyalty.
Building the Union
One of the basic tasks Of the
yard Voice" is to help to build up an
adequate fighting apparatus of the
workers inside the Navy Yards to get
better working conditions. The unit
editing this paper, however, seems to
regard the paper as a political sup
plement to the Union paper, without
realizing that the Unit paper itself
must be a Union organizer. The
paper does not show the workers how
to struggle for better conditions. 1t
does not explain how to build up any
kind of shop organization. It does
not mention the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union anywhere
except to support its program on one

lEaEt 81
FOURTEEN years have now passed
4 since this democratic" expert
ment was tried. The toiling masses
Of Austria and the U. S. S. R. are
summing up the results Of world
wide importance derived from the
Russian and from the Austrian paths
Of development respectively. In the
Q. S. S. R. the prOletariat is success
fully completing the first Five Year
Plan, and marching on to the build
ing Of classics society in the sec
ond Five Year Plan. The working
class Of the P. S. S. R., relentlessly
crushing all er-revolutionary
elements, is daily making the posi-
ton of the working masses, the posi-
tons Of socialism under construction
stronger and stronger.
And what about Austria? Whittier
has the path Of Austrian social
democracy led the working class? In
fourteen years of democracy above
classes" it has steadily, step by step,
dipped into fascism.
Democracy" Led to Fascism
From where did fascism arrived
Fascism is not natural calamity
like the Black Death in the Middle
Ages. 1t is a social movement in
Guiding part Of the oppressed classes.
Why did the urban poor and the
peasants in Russia, oppressed by the
yoke Of capitalism, come under the
leadership Of the proletariat, while
IN Austria a considerable part of
them flocked over to fascism, de-
ivering themselves up to monopoly
capital? Because the whole postwar
policy Of Austrian social-democracy
drove these masses into the arms of
faScism. The entire experience Of
the world workers movement teaches
us THAI when capitalism becomes
bankrupt, while the class which must
be the graVe-digger of capitalism does
not fulfill its historic mission, then
other forces arise which will try in
their own way, in a capitalist way,
to solve the contradictions of the
capitalist system. This was the case
in Italy, when a revolutionary sit
uation was allowed to slip by in 1920.
In the summer of 1920 the workers
seized the factories. the government
was utterly helpless, and one serious
blow on the part of the proletariat
would have been enough to ami
hilate the fascist government. But
there was not yet a Communist
Party, while Italian sociaI-denocracv.
like Austrian and German social
democracy in 1919, betrayed the pro-
letariat at the decisive moment. It
was the treachery of the social
democrats that gave rise to the vic
tory Of fascism in 1922.
Fascism in Austria grew precisely
because it was helped to grow by
Austrian social democracy, which
surrendered one position of the work
ing class after another without a
struggle, calling on the workers to
refrain from resistance to the often

SEWERS T|EUP BOATS BRIEFLY

Wade Negotiates Settle ment for Chatham Can-
 neries with Seiners

A short lived seiners strike which tied up seine boats operated by both whites and Indians at two Chatham Strait canneries was brought to an end yesterday by Hugh A. Wade, Deputy NRA Ad- ministrator for Alaska who made a trip to the district by plane.
 A dispute over prices is said to have caused the tieup. The New England Fish Company's plant at Chatham and the Peril Strait Pack ng Company's plant at Todd were
 he only ones affected.
 They were offering five cents for )inks, six for chums, 15 for echoes and 20 for reds, and taking out Jne and one-half shares for com 'any-furnished seines. After con-
 crences between representatives of both employers and employees, and Ir. Wade, the companies offered shree different plans. The first was an increase of one-half cent per fish on all varieties; second, continuing the existing price scale and reducing the take-out for the seine to one share; the third, re- ducing prices to three and three quarters, four and three-quarters, l2h and 18 cents respectively, and he companies furnishing seines, oil md gas. The white seiners, it was reported, accepted plan num- >er one and returned to work yes- ,erday. The Indian fishermen, who lad not returned yesterday, were expected to accept the third plan.

The call for subscription to the Liberty Loan drive met with less enthus- iaSm.
 It all started thus: Cliff Daigler, manager of the Capitol and Coli scum theatres strolled into the Gastineau Cafe for his daily cup of coffee. Someone reading The Empire at the counter declared that it was shame that public service should go so unrewarded as in the case of Patsy Ann. Here was one, who through thick and thin, Taku blizzard, rain, sleet and fog, had met hundreds of boats appearing on the dock before the first line was cast ashore and re- maining to supervise personally the disembarking of the passengers and now to be treated most shame fully and ungratefully.
 Why not chip in a buck for a license, then?" said Cliff, and the dollars rang along the counter.

When five had appeared, contrib uted by Hazel Huntington, Helen Johnson, Edith Johnson, Paul Johnson, and himself, Cliff called a halt. Juneau had gone over the top. It was enough for a four dollar license and a collar.
 He rushed to The Empire to an- nounce the glad news. No sooner had he left than Corliss appeared to inform The Empire, that the City had already taken steps to donate a license to PatsysAnn The telephone began to ring. Contribu- tions rangeing from % cents to the full license fee were offered. The Empire office was a madhouse all evening. but all donations were firmly and gently refused. Enough was offered to purchase a gold plated collar and tag.
