BANDITS MAKE
RAIDS TUESDAY
By UNITED PRESS

Bandits, active in the Eastern
Seaboard Tuesday, carried out a
series of raids with banks and 4
power company as their victims.
The most sensational raid was
at Bridgeport, Conn.,, where rob-
bers seized 10 tons of high eX-
plosive known as "polnop from
the powder reservation of the
Remington Arms company.
The explosive, a powder for-
mula for which is known to only
three chemists, was powerful
enough to do vast damage to a
major city-such as Bridgeport
at a single blast. A vigorous jar
might set it off.
The explosive was taken from
an underground vault.

workers were told that they would be
paid the following week. The checks
had arrived in the morning, but
Superintendent Smith had sent them
back to keep from paying the men
on working time. The angry work
ers began looking for Smith, but he
hid away in the bushes, from which
the cops later smuggled him out.
Then the workers nilled about the

PAY by $50, or wen remove the
office" The checks arrived at
4:45 pm.
Before the checks came. someone
drove in with 100 copies of the Kan

TO these attacks upon their living
standards. This will mean that their
agents In the raves Of the working
class, (the A. r. Of L. burocrats, the

Win the Workers from the Reformists
In the struggle against war and
fascism the 18th Plenum Resolution
points out that to be successful in
this fight we must in the first in
stance fight against the social fas-
cists. This means for our district a
sharp struggle against the A. F. of l..
burocrats and the Socialist Party
leaders. In New York the Socialist
Party has considerable influence in
the reformist unions, many of its
leaders being at the same time Off
cials Of the A. r. Of L. The Social
list Party has In the past obtained
about 10000 votes for its candidates.
In the last election they lost IS per
cent of their votes, nearly all of
whom supported LaGuardia. The
situation Is such that the demagogy
Of LaGusrdia, his promises to the
masses cannot be carried out and he
will be rapidly exposed. Where then
will the disillusioned workers who

Self Criticism-Keynote in Convention Discussion
review the Activities the Y Dist in LIGHT of the Omen eer

In the same period, we were In the
leadership OF strikes involving $4,000
to 10000 workers, which resulted in
doubling the membership of the in
dustr1al unions. In addition, we were
a considerable factor in number of
strikes led by the refornist unions.
There were many serious weaknesses
in our leadership in all Of these
strikes. (These were pointed out in a
recent District Resolution). Neyerthe-
less, the workers involved were
brought considerably closer to our
movement. Our work in the REFORM
list unions has improved considerably
and shows tremendous possibilities If
we continue giving it the attention
that it requires.
Slight improvements can be seen in
our work among the unemployed,
with the industrial unions paying
some attention to this work, but as
yet not nearly as much as the situa-
ton calls for. We can point to prog
resS In our work among the G. w. A..
workers, but since this Is one OF the
most burning issues of the day, we
will have to give much attention to
work among these workers, helping to
build the organization that they
established and making 1t representa-
tive Of the tens of thousands in
volved.
In our work among the Negro
masses we have helped In establishing
fifteen or sixteen branches of the
League Of Struggle for Negro Rights,
not all Of which are as yet firmly
consolidated. The possibilities of
making this organization real mass
organization Is proved by the above,
and shows that II the Party really
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-02-22

gets behind this work this organiza-
ton can be made a real broad mass
organization.
Since the Open Letter the Party has
increased It's membership in the dis
trlct by about Is per cent which is not
much of an achievement when we
consider the real possibilities Of build
ing the Party in the present period.
It shows real weakness in not prop
erly utilizing all Of our work to
revolutionize the workers who struggle
with us for their day to day needs
which is the real basis for building
the Party. The circulation of the
Daily Worker has been increased
about IS per cent in the period, which
means very little when we consider
the relatively small circulation that
we started out with and the fact that
there are at least 100000 workers with
U'Nom we have contact. The sale of
literature has been considerably i'm
proved, the sales in our book store and
literature department amounting to
$500 for the month Of December.
Weaknesses Hinder Greater
Achievements
Our main weakness is that of still
tagging in our mass work. Our dis
t-3"t rs who'e is still too much in
yolved in the day to day events, with
the result that our main tasks do not
get the necessary and proper atten-
ton. If the 18th Plenum Resolution
means anything to us, then we must
much more seriously carry on our
concentration work and really start
seriously approaching the workers
under social-fascist leadership. In
the struggle against war and fsScasm
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-02-22

we must not only see the importance
that such industries as marine, metal
and railroad play In war, but also that
to the extent that we involve these
workers in struggle, do we influence
the workers in the lighter industries
who are so numerous in our district
We must give much more OF our at
tention, resources and forces to our
concentration work. We must con-
tinuously and Systematically carry on
propaganda and agitation among all
the workers in the industries In which
we are concentrating. We must more
and more approach them on their
day-to-day issues, involving them in
organization and struggle, using this
approach to raise their understanding
of the economic and political situa-
ton.
Among the longshoremen there is
now situation, as 3 result Of the
proposed code wherein attempts will
be made TO drive half OF the long
shoremen off the docks and cut the
wages of those reamining at work by
1880 per cent, which creates the
possibility of large scale struggles in
the immediate future providing we
are on the Job. In metal, transport
and railroad the conditions OF the
workers are bad and continuously
being worsened. Refor1nist leaders
are more openly than ever betraying
the workers. The bourgeoisie In their
attempts to get out Of the crisis will
attempt more and more to unload
the burdens onto the backs Of the
workers which will cause greater and
greater rehabilitation Of the workers
and their more determined resistance

BY CHARLES KRUAIBExN
New York District Organizer

Since the adoption Of the Open
Letter in July, the New York District
has made some advances.
In the marine industry, which for
our district Is basic since New York
is the largest port in the world, we
have brought our Party and the in
dustrial union to large numbers OF
the workers, particularly the long
shoremen among whom we carried on
very little work previously. Organiza-
ttonally we can record the establish
ment OF rank-and-file groups In the
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation and the setting up Of four dock
nuclei. In city transport we have yet
to bring our Party before the broad
masses. Nevertheless, we now have
seven groups containing about 200
members In the traction section of
the industry, but we have very few
contacts among the motor1nan and
power house workers. Among the
taxi workers, as result of the strike
now going on, we have also made
some considerable advances.
In metal, advances we're made, but
these In the main among the light
sections of tho industry. In the basic
sections Of : e industry our progress
has been much slower, although
groups and contacts have been estab-
lished. mong railroad workers our
work has been weakest, yet the little
done shows the tremendous possibii-
ties. Six or seven groups Of railroad
workers are now in existence and in
one yard alone IS copies of the Daily
worker are sold daily.

Ship Companies Weakening
The Central Strike Committee, led
by Jack Lambert, secretary OF the
Boston Local Of the NJ. W. I. O., re-
ported today that the strike is gain
ing strength and momentum hourly.
Despite the array of armed violence
on the part of the shipowners, the
shipping companies are obviously
weakening due to the miitancy and
solidarity Of the seamen.
The strike, which began with the
seamen protesting against trimming
cargo coal-that is, doing longshore
works now solid for the MWI.U
code, which includes the 1929 wage
scale: $3.50 for able seamen and $40
for coal burning firenen. The able
