Fund of Hundred Thousand. Loe¢al No. 3 has a $100,000 fund and is willing to use every cent of the money to win union conditions for the pressmen and helpers. Berry’s policy proves in this case, as in the past, to be to help the em- ployer to establish the “open shop,” while he lives in luxury off the per capita tax collected by the Interna- tional. Instead of advocating a shorter work day and more pay, Berry collabo- rates with the bosses and imposes non- union conditions by attempting to eliminate as many men as possible from the press crews, and calling his scabbery “readjustments.” Shoe Workers Hold Mass Meetings on /j} Unsatisfactory Pact difficulties which stood and still stand in the way of socia] reconstruction. “In eight long years of heroic strug- gle, the working class has won the fight of the unlimited triumph of la- bor. I want to see the; working mass- es of westerfi Europe and of the So- viet republics come together to ad- vance the cause of the international unity of the proletariat and to insure the. possibility of peaceful work. In- ternatiaqaly, working® @lass unity will ensure peace for the working class in the present and victory in the future. (Great applause.) N. Btteharin, editor of Pravda, offi- cial organ of the Russian Communist Party, greeted the delegations in the name of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party and. de- clared that the Russian working class thanked the European proletariat for support and assistance if the years of the most difficult struggle, and that the Russian working class was certain that it could rely upon the fraternal help and support of its foreign broth- ers also in the future. “The delegations counted many so- cial-democratic members amongst them, the Communists, despite the fact that they had continually fought against the social-democrats, had al- ways understood how to differentiate organize the Negroes, and that the present blast,from Green’s office is merely a futile effort to block the work in that direction that is being accomplished by radical Negroes. “A number of unions composed of colored men have been deceived into sending delegates,” said Green. “They have been led to believe they will attend a convention of union Negroes.” Will Not Be Deceived. This is the usual rant of the labor faker. All those who try to improve the condition of the workers, be they black or white, are trying to “deceive” them. But the colored workers will not be deceived by the Green atté@ck. They have found very little aid or comfort from the Gomperses, the Greens, or the Fitzpatricks when their race was being gibbetted, burned at the stake and outraged in every con- ceivable way in this so-called land of the free. The Negroes are learning that the Communists are their friends and Green nor his stoolpigeons will not be able to make them believe otherwise. tree speech; and that person is Roger Baldwin, of the Civil Liberties Union.

Such mat- ters are dangerous to public order and. security. It is quite another matter if nationalist agents openly call for Jew- ish pogroms. Sociatist Traitor Repulsed. Lantsutsky in hie speech spoke of the united front of the proletariat, of Communism, and of the solidarity of the Polish workers and peasants with Soviet Russia. Now Polish class jus- tice defends the “honor” and security of its bourgeois state. Furthermore. it defends the social traitors im the ranks of the Polish socialist party. “The crowd assembled,” thus rens the indictment in the latest Lanteut- sky trial, “was so excited by Lamtsat- ‘sky's speech that when the header of the Polish socialist party loeal group. the teacher Kuskowski, wished to ad- dress them in order to refute the at- tacks made on his party, theme was terrfble noise and hooting and cries of ‘Traitor! Down with him!’ se that he was unable to speak.” ——~ eee et AE OEP Ow es Ge ae RE OMMUNISTS have proved time and again that there is no frae speech in the United States, de*vite the con- BS stitutional provision to that effect. There is no freedom of speech for the workers, because what they have to say, is liable to cause the capitalists trouble, now or in the future. There is.no record of a capitalist being per- eecuted for violent speech in a capi- talist country, but it is quite likely, that he would be subjected to incon- | venience if he expressed himself after (Special to The Daily Worker) the fashion of Vauclain or Gary, in the Red Square at Moscow.
