Hoover, Smith-B0sses' Servants.
1.-THE republicans and democrats,
through national and state admins
trations, have shown that they are
the servants of the capitalist class.
They have murdered Sacco and Van
zetti. they have shot down the min
ers in Colorado, they have smashed
the miners strike in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois; they have issued
J snjunctions and used the state and
city police against the strikers; they
have selt marines to shoot down the
workers and peasants of Nicaragua
and China. Both republican and
democratic senators have been sup
Iporting the imperialist foreign pol
icy of the Washington government
which is leading to another world
war
1--WE, needle workers, too, have
learned what we can expect from
republican and democratic admins
: tration. Republican and democratic
judges have issued injunctions
against US during our strikes and
have sent our brothers and sisters
into prison. The Tammany police
have brutally attacked US on the
picket line and protected the scabs
end the gangsters hired by the
bosses. Can we forget all this?
Treachery of Socialists.
at is not only the democratic and
republican parties who are serving
the capitalist class. The socialist
party has become another servant
of the capitalists, acting as their
agent among the workers.
''None know better than we,
needle workers, what the treachery
and degeneracy of the socialist
party means.
"Hillquit, who is the brains of
the Sigman program, is the head of
the socialist party. Beckerman, the
famous gang leader of the. Amalga-
mated, is a leader Of the socialist
party and an elector on the social
list ticket. Zaritsky, who is fighting
the Tri,nmers Local 43 in New York
end the Capmakers Locals in Bos-
ton and Chicago and has obtained
injunctions against them from the
capitalist courts, is leader in the
socialist party. And the Forward
the despised yellow sheet that sup
plies the money for the gangsters
who are attacking us in the unions,
is the stronghold of the socialist
party.
Cannot Vote for Bosses Tools.
"Can we vote for the candidates
of the right wing clique, which has
united with the bosses and the I'M
derworld, has ruined our union con-
ditions and has thrown us back into
The sweat shops?
Scan we vote for the people that
are guilty of the Mineola frame
up? Can we vote for those who are
using injunctions against u.s. Can
we vote for the people that have
made a company union out of the
Amalgamated, a union that fights
for the bosses and is source for
graft and corruption?
"No!
"Just as we are fighting the Sig
mans, Beckermans and Zaritskys in
the union and on the picket line we
must fight them on the political
field.
Communists Fight for Workers.
"The needle workers can support
one party-the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party Of Americai
"Who has unmasked the supple
mentary agreements of the right
wing in the Cloakmakers Union
Who has helped the furriers in their
strike of 1926 and has defended
them against all traitors? Who
gave full support to the cloakmak-
ers' strike of 1926? Who Is helping
us fight the right wing cliques?

members Of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party. Everywhere the Com
munists are fighting together with
