The coal diggers will continte to fight for week- . ly pay days in spite of the betrayals of Lewis and Ledvinska and will not recognize Ledvinska’s action as legal in the union.

A Swedish delegation is on the way to Leningrad. ‘These delegations and their results are of the deepest signi- ficance. They are not composed of union officials, but of plain work- ers from the shops. Moreover, they are not composed of Communist workers exclusively. The chairman of the German delegation is a social-democrat, belonging to a party bitterly opposed to the Com- mutists and the chairman himself freely states that: he is going to be very critical of what he sees in Soviet Russia. Further, he wants it fully understood that he is going to tell the exact truth of Soviet eonditions when he gets back to Germany. Whatever may be the findings of this particular worker, news already arrived shows that the delegation as a whole is amazed at the contrast between what the bourgeois press of Germany has said about Soviet conditions and the facts thay have found. In what other country could shop workers go and be met with a tremendous roar of welcome? In what other country would the plain workers from the shops of Germany be met with an address of welcome by the chief military commander of the nation? : Can anyone imagine General Hines or Harbord of the U. 8. army general staff, w eleoming a group of hard-fisted, incredulous German manuel laborers, and repeating to them the invitation given by Frunze, commander of the red army? : “Let the German comrades discuss this point (freedom of the toilers) with any workers,’in any occupation, in any part of the Soviet Republics.” . Imagine such an invitation being proferred by the stiff-necked mhilitarists of the U. S. army! And imagine what a ‘torrential avalanche of discontent and protest at capitalist oppression the in- quiring workers would be buried udder! The DAILY WORKER points the contrast, and announces that} _ the story of what the German workers find in Soviet Russia, what they see and say from day’ to day, will be told in these columns. Rockefeller Generosity Hardly a month passes that the Rockefeller family does not endow a college or jn some other way get rid of part of their great _ Mealth. For these benefactions they are praised by the press and \ -by the colleges and churches that benefit from the gifts. Where do the Rockefellers get this money? We read in the Colorado Labor Advocate, that the officials of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, ‘have announced a 15 per cent Wage cut, bringing the scale down to the 1917, level despite the fact that the cost of living has soared since that time. Adding insult to injury, the company excuses this cut by claiming that the workers at one of their mines petitioned for the cut, so that the company could compete with other coal operators. But the mine where this strange petition is alleged to have comie‘has been closed down for some time. f The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company is operated on _ the “Rockefeller Plan.” The employes are supposed to deal with the company thru representatives. No labor union is tolerated. But the company is not able to successfully delude, the miners even with this fake scheme. Despite the fact that the so-called representa- tives of the workers are usually picked company tools, the agents of the hypocritical Rockefeller, are not able to make the miners swal- low the.excuse of the latest wage slash. The employes of the other Rockefeller mines were asked to yote on the proposition. They rejected it by an overwhelming majority. Employes of some mines not only voted down the pro- posed cut but demanded an increase of 20 per cent over the present ‘scale. This shows up the fraud of Rockefeller’s “Industrial Democ- racy” in Colorado. The Colorado Labor Advocate asks how long are the miners of Colorado going to “stand for the brazen deceit of the so-called Rockefeller Plan . It‘does not seem that they will be always meek. The Rockefeller Plan has taken them nowhere as far as wages is concerned.” The slaves of the Rockefellers bought their experience with gifts coming from the masters. They should know by now that neither Rockefeller or any other capitalist robber will ever concede anything to them except thru force. Their power lies in their collective strength exercised thru unionism. They must ditch company unionism no matter under what fancy name it flaunts its rottenness and organize a real union, based upon the class strug- glé; a union that will fight for immediate gains and prepare the way for the final struggle to get rid of Rockefeller, not only in Colorado but thruout the United States. Rockefeller can afford to endow churches and goosestep universi- ties with the money ‘plundered from its overworked, ill-paid wage slaves. Not So Bad Warren S.

HE Loreist concept of party tanto -‘proceeds on the erroneous theory, that@here exists a difference between the''task of building the party and fhat 6f entering, political, and executing maneuvers. again ‘we meet the argument that we nftist! first build our party before we can enter this or that action. This at- titude is social-democratic. — The task of building the party can- not be separated from the political ac- tivities of the party. Our only source of new. strength is the working class. | We endeavor to set the toiling 1 masses into motion in the directi6n of a decis- ive gele against capitalism. Our party cannot carry on this struggle without the masses; the masses can- not earry on this decisive struggle without the Communists. We build up the party in the same degree as we succeed in identifying it with the struggles of the masses. As long as we are a small party our participation in these struggles will be one with comparatively small means. But just as the athlete gains and improves his abilities in practice so does the party build itself in action. The Commun- ists will win leadership only if they really lead. The workers will learn to follow the Communists in final ac- tion if they see them march and fight with them and ahead of them in all preliminary actions. EN Loreism expounds this theory of first building and then acting, it tries to cover up its opposi- tion to action with a. plausible form- ula. This formula is the more danger- ous because the special regard these opportunities seem to have for our party carries an appeal to loyal and well-meaning party members. Thus the ideological influence of Loreism in the party tends to paralyze the party’s lyr to a much larger. degree than the organized strength of the Lore group would indicate. The last party discussion, for instance, reveal- | ed to what a degree this. -untenable theory of a dualism of party building and party activities, is. aceepted even by leading-members of our.party who otherwise, admit the dangers of the Lore tendencies for;our Party. The Comintern took cognizance of this tendency in our party when it wrote into the decision on the: American question the following: fundamental principle that the Communists must continually influence the workers in a revolutionary sense, and that. this task cannot be accomplished by mere agitation and propaganda. Any, ideo- logiédl struggle against Loreism. must, therefore, also uproot these tenden- cies where they have lost their clear identity with Loreism, and especially when they make their @ppearance as “pure Communist principlés.” Com- rade Lenin called this enneey in- verted opportunism.’ It is evident thatthe ‘opportunist tendency of Loreism findé@ the more bases for crystallization and expos- « a and ings of our: variably concept, | tendency for our this process.

No, indeed, Stone was too honest a labor leader to leave a million dollare to his widow. The poor fellow had only $150,000 to his name when he passed away. . It is true that not every worker saves that much money in a lifetime. but when ene considers the number of banks that Mr. Stone was interested in as grand offieer of a powerful union and when one knows that he was financially interested» personally in other companies, he might have left more money. Stone’s holdings were entirely in stocks and. bonds...
