The Most Burning Question: -
Unity Of action
Be- BSrck
Bella KUN--
Member Of the Presdum Of the Communist International

tariat under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party
has made it possible for the Russian working class
numerically very small proletariat, to lead dozens
of millions of poor and middle peasants, broad
strata of the office employees and part of the
integentsia into the struggle against the big
bourgeoisie, the feudal nobility, into the struggle
for the power of the proetariat. Today, thanks to
the Boshevik policy, the great majority of the poor
and middle peasants in the Soviet Union are col
lective farmers conscious builders of the socialist
economy. The urban petty bourgeoisie in the So
Wet Union freed from the exploitation of the
banks and cartels united in industrial cooperatves
by means of assistance, financial and otherwise
from the state With tremendous exertions the
Bolsheviks have succeeded in saving large sections
of the old ntelgentsia for socialism. 1t would be
absurd to assert today, was alleged by many
Social-Democrats formerly, that working class
comparatively small in number and the still smaller
Bolshevik Party are capable Of directing a state
and of building up a socialist economy by means
of terror, against the will of the great majority
of the population. On the contrary it has only
been possible to carry out this task because the
Communist Party has known how to pursue a
correct policy in relation to the middle classes. 1t
has been able to do precisely because the major
ity of the working class nay the whole proetariat,
has been and is behind it. Only because of this
has it been able to throw into the scale the
strength of the whole working class in order to
lead the middle strata in town and country and
to make concessions to the peasantry when the
economic situation the relation of forces between
classes rendered this necessary.
Why has not the relation of the middle strata
in town and country toward the working class been
the in Germany and Austria in Russia?
Why did not the broad strata of the urban petty
bourgeoise, of the poor and middle peasantry take
the side of the proetariat when the question of the
struggle between labor and capital was raised?
Why did they take the side of the fascists, of
finance capital of the great landowners?
The Social-Democratic Parties in Germany and
Austria have alleged that the tactics of the Com
munsts repel the petty bourgeois strata in town
and country from the working class We Com
munists have already said: The petty bourgeois
policy of the Social-Democratic Parties renders it
impossible to draw the urban and rural middle
strata to the side of the proletariat.
And we repeat now that precisely the petty bour-
geois policy of the Social Democratic Parties was
mainly responsible for the fact that these strata
have been repealed from the working class, in con-
trast to Russia where the proIetarian policy of the
Bolsheviks against capital, against the big land
owners has drawn these strata into the struggle
against capitalism

summary trials and executions
within "a hours of "terrorists" and

murder of two students and the
increasing terror. The report Of
the new courts was published in

The Strategic South

THE strike situation in the South is grow
L ing more tense The employers and
their government machinery are getting
ready to strike another bloody blow at the
strike. Every available National Guard
regiment is being modified for instant
action. Gangs of hired thugs and deputies
are being formed by the employers with the full
support OF the Governors in the Csrolinas and
Georgia.
The South is getting ready for more sping of
workers blood This is Roosevelt's South. his party
and his most loyal supporters. In the shedding of
Southern workers blood it Is Roosevelt who is re-
sponsble
They are striking at the South because they
think that in this way they will smash the unity
of the textile battle lines,
The employers are not slow in seeing that the
u T W. officials made very little strike prepara-
lions in the South. The employers, though dis
agreeaby surprised by the tremendous sweep of the
textile strikers militancy, still think that they will
be able to crack the Southern workers first with
terrorism and trickery.
Thus the fight In the South is becoming more
and more strategic.
ESPECIALLY important is the question of the
unity of the workers, of organized with unor-
ganized, Negro and white The employers will
surely try all their old tricks of dividing the work
with the poison of race hatreds and other
divisions.
But they will do this only the better to rob and
exploit each section of the working class sepa-
ratey. White and Negro workers belong together
in solidarity each assisting the other to win better
wages and working conditions
The mass marches and picket lines must be
increased, To sscken the picketing for
one minute would be to weaken the strike and
encourage terrorism.
The flying squadrons, pulling out the lower mills,
still have their work to do and must not under any
circumstances be allowed to slow down
The Southern Worker, p. o. Box 576 Concord
N c., the paper of the Communist Party in the
South, which rallies the workers for effective
struggle, needs support. Rush 1t aid!
Keep the mills closed The terrorism of the
employers and the government be met by the
mass organization and picketing of the workers.

Havana, against the arbitrary police
seizure of the tobacco workers center
in Havana, against the occupation
of the revolutionary trade union
printing plant by military police
and against the arrest of eleven
workers.
The Daily Worker urges organiza-
tions throughout the country to
rally to the support of the Cuban
workers struggle against this new
wave of Wall Street-Mendieta

of protest to Jefferson Caffery,

u. t. w. Leaders and the
Youth in the Mills

A CLASSIC example of how the U.T.W.
"A leaders discriminate against the youth
is seen in Paterson, n. J. Here, from
5000 to 1000 throwsters, almost all of
whom are youth, are still working in the
throwster mills SO far, the U. T. w.
leaders have refused to call them on strike.
In this manner, the u T. w. leaders are creating
breach between the young and adult textile
workers.
In this, they are also aided by the fact that
the throwsers went back to the mills after fighting
miltanty in the last national silk strike without
any union organization and without any demands
won, The U. T. w. leaders calously disregarded
them when the time for settlement came, both
with regard to the improvement Of their condi-
tions and the organization Of their craft.
Remembrance of this action doubtless still
rankles in the minds Of the throwsters. But even
despite this bitter memory the throwsters are
anxious to strike. In all the mills the throwsters
are waiting for the strike call or for a flying
squadron to pull the mills.
The Young Communist League in Paterson cor
rectly calls upon the throwsters not to wait for an
official strike call and not al wait until FLYING
squadron is sent to picket the throwster mills 1t
calls upon them to strike now on their own mi

mittees and become part of the huge national tex
tile strike
1t calls upon them to figrht for the following
demands: Guaranteed minimum wage of sls for
a 30-hour week with six-hour day. no Saturday
work, workers to be notified day before lay-off;
improved sanitary conditions.
Throwsters! Strike all the throwing mills in

date task of every Communist.

NISIS REEELS The PETTY
FROM THE PROLETARIAT"
THE PopuIaire of July IT, 1884 published the draft
resolution which Frossard and his intimate
rades of the Right Wing of French Social-Democ-
racy put forward in the National Council of the
French Socialist Party against the acceptance of
the Communist offer. In this draft we read as
follows:
g. :. Merely in order to cooperate with them
lie. the Communsts-B.K.] the Socialist or
carnations cannot surrender their contact with
all the democratic elements, which constitute the
enormous majority of the French population"
Citizen Frossard cannot be accused of incon-
sistency. During his brief stay in the Right Wing
Of the Communist Party Of France, he was just as
much opposed to the united front with the Social
Democrat Party now, when he occupies place
in the Right Wing of French Social-Democracy,
fulfilling the function of connecting link with the
Neo-Socalists and Illuminating against the united
front with the Communist Party. 1t was this same
Frossard who, while still in the ranks of the Com
muniSt Party of France wrote as follows against
the leadership of the Communist International,
against its drectves for the struggle for the united
front:
For the international Communist front the
following holds true: The bridges have been
broken; shall not restore them, nay, not even
by coming to terms shall make this appear
desirable in the eyes of the masses"
Now too, Frossard wants to break down the
bridges between Social Democratic and Communist
workers, though it is from the other bank
that he is trying to do this We do not want to
force our organizatonal principles upon the Social
Democratic Parties, but we cannot avoid mentioning
that we Communists did not tolerate in ranks
such attitude to the united front, to the fight
ing unity of the working class.
Now however, let us come to the point, to the
question whether the unity of action of the working
class the fighting unity of the Socal-Democratc
workers with the Communist workers is repeling
all democratic elements from the working class.
Under the term democratic elements" we to
understand the urban petty bourgeoisie poor and
middle peasants, office employees and professional
men.
The Social-Democratic worker, even the
Social-Democratc functionary, whose mental hori-
zon is not limited by the frontiers of his own
try, would do well to begin by comparing the sue
cesses of the Social Democratic and of the Com
munist policy in the ranks of these democratic
elements the basis of concrete eXamples-Russa

and Austria.

EcOnOnicGain
During August
U.S.S.R. Industry Makes
Great Gains as Capitalist
Crisis Deepens
Especial to the Daily worker

MOSCOW, Sept. II by WirelesS).
The national economic summary
for August, and another Of the first
eight months of this year show a
new rise in Soviet Economics.
Important branches of Soviet
industry, from January to August
Of this year, increased their output
az compared with the same period
last year:
Coal, by 25.9 per cent; oil, by 172
per cent; peat, by 1871 per cent;
iron, by 51.2 per cent; steel. by 444
per cent; bars, by 96.7 per cent;
aluminium, by 316,5 per cent; Ural
copper. by 341 per cent; automo-
biles, by BAL per cent; tractors, by
1873 per cent; engines, by 20.5 per
cent, freight-engines, by 63.8 per
cent, etc.
This summer brought a new crisis
in the economic situations of most
capitalist countries. In the coun-
trySide, drought and big crop fail
ures were common. In industry, the
summer months were marked by
new production lows.
In 80 countries in Europe, includ-
ing all the largest capitalist coun-
tries, the devaluation of money
continued
These facts again and again DEM
onstrate the correctness of Stains
words at the 18th Congress of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, when he said that the pres
ent crisis in capitalist economy will
not lead to new booms in capitalist
industry. The curve of bourgeois
economy is again going downwards,
These figures and facts. and the
progressively encouraging details of
Socialist economy in the Soviet
Union, demonstrate that the U. s.,
S. r. is the only country in the
world which is free from collapses
and retreats, and always moves for
ward.
