F. G. Manus, acting D. 0. in Dis
trict 10, with headquarters in San
Francisco writes that the Publicity
Committee is going to keep us
posted on what is doing in the Gold
en- State. Lest we should get an at
tack of irritability waiting for Pub
licity Committee to do its stuff,
Comrade .Manus decides to say the
the following for publication:
California is in full swing col
lecting signatures to put our candl-
dates on the ballot. We'need $4,000
signatures. The petition committees
in San Francisco, Oakland and Los
Angeles want help from sympa-
thizers and all class conscious work
ers who are willing to participate in
q Communist Election Campaign to
give the Jackass, the Elephant and
the socialist preacher a run for
their money. Those willing to par

Why Soviet Workers Win Contests

For once in their lives the lie factories of
Riga have at least told partial truth-but
only partial one for they even use facts
to try to cast discredit upon the Soviet
system. In syndicated story we are told
that at the recent Spartakiad working class
international athletic contests) the Soviet
representatives won most of the events That
part of the story is true But it doesn't end
there.
The Riga Correspondents" darkly hint
that the games must have been fixed"
Some of the hack writer's who are bought
and paid for by the imperialist and -royalist
intriguers against the Soviets graduated
from American newspapers. All American
newspaper men know that every alleged ath-
letic event that is staged in the United
States is fixed" before hand, whether
it be a ball game or a heavyweight cham
pion prize-fight Some of them are ncapa-
bic of conceiving of an honest contest even
though the participants are workers instead
of professionals.
There is a vast difference, however, be-
tween the professional athletic contests in
America, where the outcome is determined
by the amount of gambling money involved
in the betting, and the working class con-
tests that took place in Moscow this sum-
mer.
Nor can anyone who cares to investigate
the facts feign surprise that the Soviet
workers won many of the major events.
That was to be expected and, although the
Riga traducers of the Sovets may not be
able to understand it, the workers of other
countries understand it very well.
The reason the Soviet workers won is be-
cause they are healthier and happier and
more secure than the workers of any other
country.
That is the answer

THE capitalist controlled govern
ment supported by labor betray
ers such as Lewis, Woll and Green
and existing upon democratic lies
ably preached in our efficient"
educational institutions, unveiled
itself at the miners convention as
a dictator with an iron fist smash
ing the miners-backbone of organ
lied labor in America. Not only was
the true position of the state against
the workers brought to light but the
much doubted strategy of Lewis
against the miners was visibly I'M
earthed.
The Lewis officialdom, corrupt to
the nth degree, has abandoned its
former policy of secret periodic SELL
outs and betrayals engineered and
planned behind locked doors in
special conferences and now comes
out openly against the miners by a
brazen attack upon the rank and
burgh Instead of secret betrayal
by communicating with his district
cohorts instructing them to sell-out
to the coal operators, Lewis openly
sends his "ten dollar, assassins" to
Pittsburgh, launching bloody open
attack upon the militant progressive
delegates at the convention. The
outstanding thing, however, about
this attack is not the fact that it
was engineered by Lewis but the
thing to be remembered by the min
ers and all other workers is the fact
that Lewis received the aid and sup
port of the police. Not only this
the entire machinery of the capital
list state was brought into play to
prosecute the militant miners who
defended the convention hall from
the attack of the Lewis gangsters.

Socialists in Ref0rnist Swamp

The socialist party has sunk deep
into the swamps of middle class
reformism.
The break with socialism and the
class struggle is complete.
The election campaign of Thomas
and Maurer nationally and the So
cialist candidates locally is carried
on completely in the spirit of a cap
italist opposition party. The social
ist leaders make no secret of the
course they have adopted. The
spokesman for the American social
list party, Mr.. Hillquit, on the con-
trary, heralds the fact that the So
cialist party is following in the
footsteps of the late Senator La
Toilette and have accepted the
theology of 'progressiveism. Writ
ing in the New Leader of Septem-
Ter %, Hillquit states that ''The So
cialist party is the most logical heir
TO the progressive vote and sup
port" because at comes nearer than
any other party to the ideals, prin-
ciples, aspirations and concrete pro-
posals which animated the LaFol-
lette campaign"
This is the hammer under which
the socialist party is conducting it's
campaign = "LaFollettism," PRO
gressivism the ,progressivism of
LaFollette that represented a wing
of the republican party.
Take the Waldman campaign in
New York state. Mr.. Waldman
calls for an investigation of Walk
er's administration by Governor
Smith and recounts eleven points
against Mayor Walker and Tam
many Hall. Among them there is
not a single word against Walkers

Lewis Brings His Treachery Into Open

the young miners will bravely
shoulder the burden and with the
determination of youth establish the
first real miners union in America.
A union controlled and operated by
and for the rank and file. For every
progressive miner framed-up and
shot down Lewis will find hundreds
from his own ranks to take their
place. Lewis is losing his parasitic
position and losing control. The
very fact that he has taken the Of
fensive-meaning he is defending
his usurped position and clutching
like a man drowning to anything
that promises help shows that Lewis
will go. The miners of Pennsylvania
and Ohio have answered by putting
the Workers (Communist) Party on
the ballot in both states. Not only
have they put the Party on the bal
lot but they are determined to put
an end to the two existing parties
of the ruling robber class and their
colt" party-the socialist party
and establish a Workers and Farm
ers' government in the United
States.

The Successors of LaFolette'; a Complete
Break With the Class Struggle

have been the initiators of the sys-
tenn of frame-up against militant
strikers and the attempt to railroad
William Schiffrin for defending him
self against the gangsters of the
labor bureaucrats and the socialist
labor officials is the climax in this
campaign of terrorism and of this
unholy alliance of the socialist labor
bureaucrats with the thugs and po-
lice force of New York.
In this so-called indictment there
is no mention of the miserable hous-
ing situation, of a hundred other
vital class needs of the workers of
New York, but there is plenty of
dribble about the ffive-cent fare as
a symbol of popular government"
and of the violation of the so-called
democratic practices of popular gov
eminent.
The eyes of the socialist party in
the election campaign, as in their
daily work, are turned away from
the struggle of the masses. Of
course, seeking votes, they shed
tear now and then about the fate
of the workers (the workers, too,
have votes), but they look to the
small businessmen, the profession
ais, the ministers and other ere
spectacle" elements who are apollo
gists of the capitalist system for
their main support in the campaign.
The socialist party campaign

use of the police to break strikes,
of the campaign of terrorism, of
the industrial squad in the needle
trades, of the assaulting of traction
workers and thousands of other
strikers by the New York police.
Or the other hand, Waldman shows
the greatest alarm about the "crime
wave" and the inadequate police ad-
lninistration in New York City at
the same time that he gives praise
to former Police Commissioner Nc
Laughlin, who, he declares, was re-
moved because he sought to end
gambling and Tammany clubhouses.
This progressive" this reaction
airy opportunist, outdoes even the
traditional "progressives" of Amer
lea in weeping over "the degrade
ton of the practices and policies of
our (sic) courts of justice through
the appointment of judges to the

Of political connections.
1t is understandable why VALID
man and the New York socialists do
not refer to the police terror, to the
breaking of strikes, to the protec-
ton of thugs by the industrial squad
because the socialist party has been
part of the whole campaign of ter
rorism and have worked in collu-
sion with these terrorist squads

gates and the convention hall
against the attack of the Lewis
gangsters-their "all hell can't stop
us" spirit will make the new union
a successful fighting organization
with a rank and file control.
Lewis Is Impotent.
The coal barons may say that the
days of organized miners are past.
Lewis may smile contentedly about
his successful" attack upon the
new union; Patriots may breath
easier and shout that the "red men
ace" has been checked. Yet the grim
faces of the coal diggers and their
"all hell can't stop us" spirit says
to all workers that a new union has
been born. The old experienced
fighters will nurse and guide the
new union to a walking stage and

made good use of patriotism" They
took their protection with them
(badges of red, white and blue) and
under this emblem and in the name
of patriotism, slugged and beat the
rank and file miners and attempted
to destroy the beginning of real
fighting organization of American
labor.
Although the guns in the hands
of Lewis bark out death to all who
dare to oppose him, yet unmindful
of danger, the much abused coal
diggers rally to the support of the
new union. 1t takes more than a
shower of bullets to quench the

is the campaign of an organization
whose role is to maintain the cap
italist system and to prevent the
workers from going along the road
of militant class struggle.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
on the contrary, conducts it's cleo
ton campaign in the spirit of a
Party of the class struggle; it's
campaign is challenge to the whole
capitalist system and to all its de-
tenders. Exposing the rotten frame
work of the capitalist system and
its state machine of suppression to
turn its eyes to the task of mobil-
izing the workers for struggle and
fight against the impending i'm
.perialist war, to infuse the masses
with the idea of class unity and
class solidarity, with the conception
that freedom can come only through
the overthrow of the capitalist sys-
tenn, only through revolution.
The election campaign is part
Of the work of the Communists, day
in and day out, to organize the I'M
organized, to defend the Soviet
Union against the attacks of the
imperialists, to struggle for racial
equality for the oppressed millions
of Negro masses; to turn the work
ing class into a powerful revolution
airy army capable of defending its
daily interests against the open
shoppers, against the attempt to re-
duce the living standards and to
make them into a force that will

lish the rule of the poor, of the op-
pressed, of the workers and farm
ers in the United States. The work

CONSTANCE TALMADGE
 AT PALACE TOMORROW

Constance Talmadge's new com edy-drama, Venus of Venice" is the current attraction at the Pal ace Thursday and Friday.
 The story is one of a charm ing little madcap who, dominated by a crook, pursues a course of thievery among the canal gon- dolas with reckless abandon, her escapades plunging her into the companionship of an American artist, with unforeseen conse quences of most exciting na ture.
 !. While Venus of Venice at tains brilliant dramatic heights the picture is for the most part in the. lighter vein in which Miss Tafmadge excels. Its setting, in modern Venice, Is one that breathes romance and adventure. The Water Rats" doubtful ac- tivities in the canals of the Ital. ian city also give Constance an opportunity to display aquatic at tainments which she is not gen erally known to possess.
 Appearing opposite Miss Tai- madge, in the role of the romantic American artist, is Antonio Mo- reno: And Marshall Neilan's di- rection of the picture further es- tablishes him as a master in the screening of stories of the Con stancesque" type.
 Venus of venice,' which was produced by Joseph M. Schenck, for First National release. will be at the Palace only two nights.
