@The greatest religious movement is
the international labor movement.
r. .fWhen a man goes to work, he
gives himself to society more COM
pletely than mere phiIanthropists.
The pbilanthropist gives his money
and goes to play golf all day. The
capitalist makes his investment and
then starts a trip around the world.
But when the worker contributes his
labor, he has to give himself. He
cannot send it by special messenger,
he has to go with it himself and stand
by it thru every minute of his work
ing hours, every day and every year"
Must Overthrow System.
He described the mission of the
workers under capitalism in the fol-
lowing words:
Your purpose is to overthrow this
system which impoverishes you. They
believe that you are at war with So
ciety, simply because you are trying
to liberate it from ignorance"
He ended his speech amidst a great
ovation with the slogans of "Down
with Jim Crowismi" Long live the
Riffians in the fight for indepen-
dence!" and Long live International
Labor Defense!"

Bishop William Montgomery Brown

blessing of these misleaders." The
call is made for labor party.
The Issues.
While advocating the full measure
of the Communist program, the plat
form gives our demands on the i'm
mediate needs of the workers, cover
ing the question of injunctions, public
utilities, housing the -cost of living,
unemployment, schools, etc. A de-
mand is made for the repeal of the
criminal syndicalist law.
Not Forgetting the Betrayers.
The platform does not close with
out paying its respects to the social
ist party, which has candidates in the
field in this city, for it's betrayal of
the workers thruout the world.
The platform ends with an appeal
to the workers of New Haven to
support the program and candidates
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
who are as follows:
For mayor, r. S. King; controller,
Abraham Horwitz; treasurer, Joseph
Schlossberg; city clerk, Rose Markle;
tax collector, Joseph Joffe.
Before this campaign is over,
thousands of workers in this city will
know more definitely what it is that
the Communists want.

Condemns Non-Partisan Policy.
The non-partisan policy, is con-
demned, which in New Haven takes
the form of throwing most of labor
support to the democratic party. So
intimate are the ties, that the chair
man of the Trades Council, John
Murphy, has been chairman Of the
board of aldermen, and only a few
days ago was rewarded with the posi-
ton of town chairman of the demo-
cratic party. The effect of the nom
partisan policy has been ito tie labor
