Rtchberg'S Advice

DONALD RICHBERG, speaking before
~ the National Automobile Dealers AS
ISOLATION, gave the auto manufacturers
some advice on how to maintain profits
and prevent threatening strikes.
Increased political demands ''for en-
ploye rights" are made, Richberg said,
when employers oppose collective bar
gaining
There is only one sure deterrent Of
increased political control of business
along these lines" said the head of the
n. R. A. Emergency Council. "And that
is increased reliance upon collective bar
gaining"
Richberg has already made clear time
after time that by collective bargaining"
he means denial of majority rule, and
legalization of the company union, with
the real unions operating through COM
pany union works council"
Richberg opposes, on behalf Of the
Roosevelt government, the thirty-hour
week bill and similar labor legislation. His
substitute is the company union, sugar
coated with nice-sounding phrases.
The n. 4. A. Boards have prevented
auto strikes in the past, and are now try
ing to prevent another auto strike, to
maintain the same miserable conditions
and put off the auto workers demands
with empty promises.

Action on the Workers Bill!

THE, fact that the chairman Of the House
L Committee. William P. Connery, has
endorsed the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill, H. R. 1927, is an indication
of how profound is the support which this
vital working class measure has aroused
among the entire population.
Connery is no friend of the masses. He
is the author of the reactionary Black
Connery wage-cutting bill on the thirty
hour week, which reduces weekly pay
levels.
But Connery has his ear to the ground
and he hears the tremendous voice of the
masses calling for It's adoption.
All this proves how effective mass
pressure is, and how necessary it is now
to press this advantage and push the fight
still higher
The executive secretary of the Ma
tonal Action Committee Herbert Benja-
min, is pressing the fight by calling on all
local Sponsoring Committees to organize
new local actions, putting pressure on local
officials and the Federal government for
the Bill. Wire or write to the House Labor
Committee Organize local relief actions
and demand Federal unemployment and
social insurance, to be paid for by the gov
eminent and employers.

A Criminal System

EVEN the capitalists themselves are dis
IL mayed by the crazy stupidities of their
own system.
The insane anarchy of capitalism finds
the following dismayed admission from
none other than the -generahssimo of
the n r. A, General Hugh L. Johnson:
eff we saw a squirrel starving to
death in knothole in his nut-filled hOl-
low tree, we wouldn't believe it. And
vet here are 125,OOO,O0O people, gran
aries full factories shut, but with mill
ions of workers idle and hungry and
shabby and afraid of the future and of
everything and everybody about them,
and money galore in banks and deposit
tories. 1t Just doesn't seem to make
sense"
Certainly, it doesn't make sense. In
fact, it is a menace to the welfare to the
lives Of the overwhelming majority of the
population, the workers and toiling farm
ers.
But any class-conscious, revolutionary
worker could give the General simple
solution, solution which has been tried
with overwhelming success in the Soviet
Union,
Abolish private property, establish a
Soviet America, inaugurate planned econ
omy and socialism, and the crisis would be
forever solved, General This solution
naturally. will hurt the billionaires. But
it would be the beginning of new life
for the overwhelming majority of the pop
ulation.

KAMCHATKA, Siberia, Jan. 16
(By Wireless This, one of the
remotest districts CT the U. S. S. r.,
will be able to report some really
heroic achievements when the ALL
Union Congress of Soviets opens on
Jan. Is.
Fishing is the basic elements OF
the national economy here. Eighteen
fishing enterprises, with 16 canning
plants equipped in the latest tech
nique, have arisen on the shores of
Kamchatka. The catch of fish in
1884 equalled $4,000 tons. Fur is
playing q. no less important role.
One OF the RAJ nurseries Of the
world is organized on the Com
manoe- Islands, which supply the
world market with valuable seal
skins, blue foxes and beavers.
While land cultivation he's been
considered impossible in KAN
chatka, 1920 acres were planted
with vegetable cultures In the pre-
vious summe", e5 against only 7so
acres in 1880.
Particularly great. however, are
the successes Of cultural and social
constructions. Far off on the desert
tundra of the northern coast. where
formerly not a single teacher CT
doctor was available, there are now
1T elementary schools. eight high
schools, a teachers training school
81 hospitals and medical stations
and AZ churches.

Socialists Expelled

TIVE members have been expelled from
L the Socialist Party in Buffalo on the
ground that they belonged to the Revolu-
tionary Policy Committee, group within
the Socialist Party.
Included in the group is a jobless
worker. member Of the Unemployed Coun-
ellis
The special "crime" of the five, as
singled out by the executive secretary Of
the Buffalo branch, Robert A. Hoffman,
was their alleged belief in the dictatorship
of the proetariat and in armed insurrec-
ton against capitalism.
The "Old Guard" is openly in favor of
explosions. Socialist workers should give
the most earnest consideration to the stu
alton where belief in the class struggle
and refusal to accept the peaceful path
to Socialism" via the Roosevelt New Deal
has become a political crime within the
Socialist Party, subject to expulsion.
The question now is, where are the ex-
PEELED members going?
An earnest examination of their posi-
tion should convince the expelled members
that thorough-going revolutionary fight
can be waged only under the banner of
Communism.
The Buffalo decision only proves how
vital is the building Of q united front OF
all workers, Socialist and Communist, on
position Of class struggle for the needs
Of the workers, and against the menace
of inlrerialist war and fascist reaction.

Newark Library Bans
The Communist
Ccmrade Editor:


Evidently the Hearst gutter press
is achieving some result in Newark.
The Newark Library, which until a
few weeks ago, kept The Commu-
mist on its shelves, has suddenly re-
moved all the issues. This is right
in line with the fascists' plans to re-
move all working class literature
from the public libraries.
I went to the library recently and
asked for the latest issue of The
Communist, but I was told that it
wasn't there. I looked in the
Ghelves for the place where it was
usually kept. All trace of any issues,
and the label telling where it was,
had been removed.
I want to call this to the atten-
ton of all workers in Newark. We
should not stand for this barring
of Communist literature from our
library shelves, while a fascist organ
like The National Republic Is per-
mitted to stay. We must force the
Newark Library, through mass ac-
ton, mass protest, the only weapons
of the working class, to place The
Communist back on the shelf.
Comrades, send protests to Bea-
trice Winser, Librarian, Newark

A Report
On Recruiting
In New York

Section Three has outstripped Sec
ton Four in the recruiting drive by
attaining quota Of ninety-five per
cent of its nine weeks quota while
Section -Four has only reached
eighty-f1ve per cent Of its quota.
Section Three succeeded in reach
Ing the Quota BY developing a real
energetic campaign in the recruiting
drive. The campaign has been un-
der the direct supervision of the
section bureau and all leading COM
rades actively participated in de-
veloping the drive. Thew have
raised the consciousness of the en-
tire membership of the section
which has produced these favorable
results. Indications are that Sec
ton Three will go over the ton in
its quota and that the section may
win from Section -Four tl>a prize
banner in The recruiting drive.
Section Three has also fulfilled It's
quota in recruiting the longshors
men thew have decided to recruit
in competition with the other sec
tcn5-Ore and Seven. Other sections
are still trailing behind, and some
sections show some specific weak
nesses. Section One has recruited
applications brought in) 2l4 for
the nine weeks. and has only as
signed 122. This Is P very serious
weakness and the section must see
to it that it overcoma7 this at once.
The percentage of those that are
not assigned is the greatest in this
section While on a district scale
only twenty-five per cent have not
been assigned d.743 applics ton
cards and 1920 assigned. In Sec
ton One the percentage is as high
as 100 per cent.
Section Seven which has chal-
lenged Section -Four in the recruit
ing drive. in an Official statement
printed in the Party Builder, has re-
cruited onlv forty-fve per cent OF
their quota; Section Four INQUIRIES of
Section Seven was this challenge
of your section committee offered
in real Communist seriousness? ?"
This is the second time Section
Seven is challenging Section Four
in the recruiting drive. We expect
Section Seven to send Their reply
through tno Party Builder.
With less than q week left until
the Lenin Memorial meeting the
sections are to speed up the drive
and assign all those who have made
applications. - These thousands of
new members will be called upon to
take the Party oath at this meet
ing. Sections are to inform all the
new members who have joined the
Party since the bsTinning Of the re-
cruiting drive-Oct. % to Jan. 21-

THE LINES ARE FORMING.

The crushing of the labor movement, the most mill
tant elements of which the Communists, is basic
to the whole campaign of these reactionaries Not
only do they wish to crush the labor movement but
along with it, every liberal voice in the United States
which objects to oppression.
The mouthpiece of this motley crew of pirates
is William Randolph Hearst, through his news
papers, magazines, radios and newsreels.
But against Hearst and those powerful sections of
capital for which he speaks there is already forming
wide united front. Within the last few weeks an in

On one side there will be found the National Asso

merca the leaders Of the American Legion, the pro-
fessona patroteers the Silver Shirts, all the fascist
elements in the United States.
They are anti-Communist, anti-Soviet, anti-lsbor,

reduce the American workers to cooie standard of
living in order to maintain capitalist profits In order
to maintain their dying capitalist system they will go

fluential group of Methodist ministers condemned Mr.
Hearst and his lying anti-abor campaign most vigor

Early this week group of editors of some of the
largest college newspapers in the country adopted
resolution condening Hearst the voice of fascism

People of the most divergent political views are

NEW YORK, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
I am a constant reader of the
Daily Worker and a member of the
Young Communist League. Lately
the Daily Worker has become, in
my opinion, the best paper today
1t is twice as good as it was, and
whereas before it was educational,
but not interesting enough, now it
is so interesting that I know of no
other paper that can compete with
it.
However, I would like to point out
one thing. The Daily Worker would
be much better if the proof reading
were more accurate. It,make a very
bad impression when reading an
article to find number of words
so incorrectly spelled, that in many
cases it is impossible to make ou.
what the word actually is. L hope
you will accept this critici-m tc
make the Daily" better paper
than it is even nov.

I would like to appeal to those

buy their paper from a candy and
stationery store located at the
1outh-esst corner of Plimpton

to insist that this storekeeper dis
play the Daily" as he does all other
papers. This storskeeper hides the

not giving those who pass an oppor-

paper on sight.

Comrade Editor
Greetings to the Daily Worker on
its 18th Anniversary.
A few years ago I saw the Daily
Worker on newsstand in Provi-
dence, r. 1. Later I subscribed for
it and have read it almost daily
since. 1t surely is of very great
importance, for without. papers OF
the type of the Daily Worker, the
truth is not spread about impor-
tant economic and political cues
tons. The capitalist press always
twists the truth, and never informs
the people about any important is
sues. Keep the people misin-
formed" has always been the motto
OF the privileged class.
The Daily Worker is doing impor-
tant work in breaking down the
brutal hold Of the capitalists on
the minds of the people. Let the
good work go on until victory is
won.
