Leaders Holding Out
AS Protests Grow
DAILY Worker Midwest BureaD

CHICAGO, Ill, June 22.-The IL
leaders of the Montgomery Unem-
ployed Councils are continuing in
the fifth day of their hunger strike
In protest against the vicious
treatment they are getting and
against the high ball. The au-
thorities are trying to isolate the
jailed leaders from the Unemployed
Councils.
The Sheriff and the States At
torney sent letters to 70 branches
asking them to repudiate those
jailed, because they are Commu-
nists. In spite Of this red batting
and terror, all branches voted to
stand Solidly behind their leaders.
Locals 6, II, and Sc of the Pro-
gressive Miners of America, also
the Nokomis, Taylor Springs and
Hillsboro auxiliaries, voted finan-
cial support and pledged solidarity
for their defense. The P. M. A.
otnclals are openly cooperating
with the authorities against the
unemployed, trying to sabotage the
defense of the imprisoned fighters.
The local capitalist press reports
that protests are being received
daily demanding the release of all
arrested, also that hundreds of in
dividual post cards have been sent
to the Sheriff's office, he stated to
the press, Don't blame me-send
your protests to Governor Horner."
A series of six protest meetings
are being held where Robert Minor

Join the Strike
SEATTLE OUT SOLID
Demand Settlement of
All Union Grievances

SAN FRANCISCO, June
% (F. P.) For the first time
in As years, no ship entered
San Francisco bay as a result
of the effective strike of Paci-
fic coast maritime workers.
San Francisco in the last
week or two has had the lowest
number of ship arrivals since 1889
it is reported, despite the threat of
the Industrial Assn, an employers
group, to open the port by force.
The strikers are demanding that
eastern maritime workers join the
strike. All Oakland trucking, eX-
cept for the delivery of food, bread
and necessities, was stopped by the
strikers. The truckmen refused to
handle freight, claiming that
strikebreakers were part of the
freight loads. Because of the lack
of raw materials, the Tacoma,
Wash, smelter had to shut down,
and at Aberdeen, Wash, the Grays
Harbor Lumber Co. and the Grays
Harbor Pulp & Paper Co. closed
their mills.
A joint committee of SO represen-
tatives of 10 maritime unions con-
ferred with employers in the office
of the mayor. The unions basic
demands were first, absolute as
surance and protection against dis
elimination or blacklist; and
second, joint settlement of the
strike for all the unions. Reject
ing the workers demand for Joint
settlement, Pres. Thomas G. Plant
of the Waterfront Employers Union
walked out of the conference, stat
ing that the employers would nego-
tiate only With the longshoremen.
The longshoremen insist that the
strike will end only when all the
unions have made agreements with
their respective employers.

LOO In Tire

In Akron, O.
Green Spokesman Fails
To Stop Mass
Picketing

AKRON, Ohio, June 22.-Eleven
hundred workers at General Tire
and Rubber Company, one of the
smaller plants in Akron, walked out
this morning following a "no-work
strike" at their machines in protest
against a wage cut for the truck
tire builders. Immediately after the
wage cut was announced the work
ers decided to strike on the Job.
This news spread to other depart
ments where the same method was
followed. Later the workers walked
out and formed mass picket line
around the plant.
These workers are organized into
a Federal Local of the A. F. of L..
and have recently presented de-
mands for wage increases and rec
ignition of their union. The officials
of the union have now referred
these demands to the Regional La
Dor Board in Cleveland and nothing
more has been heard of the de-
mands.
At { special meeting called by
the A. +. of L. local to discuss the
walk out, the workers demanded the
calling of a strike to abolish the
company union, for increased pay
and recognition of their A. F. of L.
union. The strike was surprise to
the union officials. Coleman Cla-
herty, Bill Green's organizer for the
rubber workers, stated, I'VE don't
plan to do anything about it, we are
going to let it ride"
c. j. Jahant, president of the
General Tire Company, pleaded
with the workers to return to their
jobs, promising to adjust wages to
equal those paid in Goodrich and

Support Workers School

The theory of Marxism-Leninism is built up
on the practical experience of the proletariat in
its historical struggle against capitalism 1t is
built upon the very blood and tissue of the
workers and without this experience, without
this revolutionary theory, there can be no revo-
lutiOnary movement.
Marxism-Leninism. having become science
demands the same treatment as any other sci
ence-it must be studied The role of vanguard
in the labor movement can be fulfilled only by
those who are guided by an advanced theory
Under these cOndtions-theory built upon prac-
teal experience-the theoretical and practical
work fuse into one.
- To meet this need Workers School has
been organized in Seattle.
Mass organizations must give the Workers
School place on their agenda, ways and means
discussed of raising funds of obtaining working
class books periodicals and pamphlets. These
organizations should raise funds and send stu
dents to the school who otherwise would be un-
able to attend. Individuals should Immediately
send contributions.
Students should register Immediately. Adj

Why EPIC, Technocracy!

That the Republican and Democratic par
ties serve the rich exclusively is now so plain
that the great mass of workers can no longer
be fooled The exploited city and country poor
are now eagerly looking for some means of fight
ing back against their Oppressors. And in their
search they are like drowning men who grab at
straws. The capitalists know this very we'll and
so they welcome any movement that has pro-
mise of leading the workers astrav.
OF course, the capitalists through their
newspapers, the radio, and other means of
propaganda always make bluff of opposing
these fake movements such as Technocracy and
EPIC. Without this bluff and pretense their
little game wouldn't work at ALL for it is abso-
lutely necessary to mask the capitalist face OF
these movements in order to fool the workers.
and the oppressed generally, into believing that
such movements are opposed to the great finan
cial and industrial over-lords who rule the
country.
This trick of leading the masses into blind
alleys is one of the very oldest methods of keep
ing the workers in subsection. 1t has been prac-
ticed time after time for hundreds of years, and
history shows that this scheme of misleading
and betraying has been wonderfully successful.
Along with splitting the ranks of the exploited
into so many groups that all strength is lost and
by going to war to take peoples minds off the
affairs at home, it has been one OF the greatest
stand-bys for keeping ruling classes in power.

Scores Spengler> Hearst
Fascist Feature Series
By Mary Jordan

What's wrong with the world today is the
too high standard of wages of the working class,
according to Oswald Spengler distinguished
German philosopher and author" writing for
Hearsts Sunday magazine section of the Post.
Intelligeneer
The systematic attack upon industry began
with the attempt to make its organized work
ing impossible by forcibly reducing the daily
hours OF wage-earners in factories" says Dr.
Spengler. He mOurns that workers deliver only
half the original possible and natural quantum
OF what he has to sell, namely labor" and advo-
Gates more than ~ hour day and Sunday Ia
Dor.
Denies Glasses
Beginning with an attempt to deny the unity
OF the working class Spengler asks what min
ers, sailors plowmen and bank officials have in
common HE doesn't say whether bank Off
Gals means assistant cashiers who lick the
boots of capitalism for petty salaries; or the
bank presidents who use their influence and
d1rectorates to build huge fortunes There is
class distinction even in bank Officials")
he tries to confuse class issues further by
stating that all men work, and moreover that
others-the investor, the engineer, the organiz-
er-do more, and more important work is for
gotten. In the present crisis engineers are grad
uated and join the ranks of the unemployed
workers, and finding that the same conditions
vents any other worker The same is true of
experienced engineers and technicians who find
themselves without work
Try To Delude Workers
AS their end approaches, the investors and
organizers are reaching with anxious hands for
fascism to protect their "work"-the sucking of
the lifeblood from the working class They are
using Spengler and others of his type to try to
delude workers into meekly Shaving at starva-
tion wages in order that the profits of industry
may continue uninterruptedly to flow to the
capitalist class
great portion of Spengler's article is de-
voted to an attempt to build up race prejudice
and fear to split the ranks of labor He says
There looms the greatest of all dangers, the
colored menace, and it will require every bit
of race that is still available among white
nations to deal with it,
Foretaste of Fascism
The appearance OF such poisonous fascist
articles as this in America is significant at this
time 1t is fOretaste of the Shiny lies of fascist

lutionary tide. 1t should serve to awaken every

Sincerity and Science
By JOHN HoMAs PAINE

The questions OF dishonesty on the part Of
the leadership of the various parties and move
ments that the Communist Party opposes is
not the main ground upon which Communist
opposition is based. Even II every Socialist,
Technocrat or EPIC leader were completely
honest. and sincere as the day is long. the Com
munist Party would oppose them just as Wig
Or0usly as now.
The reason for this is plain: Sincerity is no
guarantee of correctness. 1t is no guarantee
against error.
Pacific Coast Indians used to believe that
the proper treatment for pneumonia consisted
in heating the patient until he got up violent
sweat and then plunging him into ice water
Their sincerity was unquestioned-but the sick
man invariably died.
Such methods must be rejected because they
are unscientifc. Successful medical practice is
based upon scientific knowledge regarding the
disease. its causes and its cure. The savage
medicine man" sincerely believes his supersti-
ton, but he lacks scientific knowledge. The
modern physician rejects the sweatingice water
treatment, because 1t is in conflict with scen-
tific medical knowledge, and he knows that the
honesty and sincerity Of the medicine man"
will not keep the patient from dying.
Marxism, the theoretical foundation of Com
munism, contains the scientific analysis of the
economic and political relationships of society
Marxsim gives us scientific knowledge, not fan
tastic beliefs" and sentimental sincerity"
When any group or organization proposes
to end our social ills by Technocracy or EPIC
OF whatnot the Communist Party examines that
proposal in the light of genuine scientific know.
ledge. If that proposal stands in conflict with
scientific fact that proposition is rejected and
attacked exactly as a physician rejects and at
tacks the supersttions of an Indian medicine
man"
Sincerity does not make fact and truth, and
consequently, the Communist Party refuses to
tolerate error ignorance and pious wishes simp-
ly because somebody might happen to be Sin
eere" in believing mess of contradictions or a
piece of deliberate treachery intended to hood
wink the unsuspectng
