THE RISE OF THE
WORKER

The rise of the laborer is the rise
of man.
We used to believe that labor was
curse laid upon the race, because of
"man's first disobedience."
Now we know that by toll the race
is redeemed from bondage to nature,
which would not otherwise provide suf-
ficient food for man, her foster child.
Despite the ancient curse" bread
was sweet though eaten in the sweat
of his face, while man worked of his
own will to meet his own needs. But
bread became bitter, as men became
the slaves of stronger men, and earned
their food no longer from the fertile
womb of nature, but from the grudg-
ing hand of their fellow beings.
Ages have passed. The long suf-
fering race is lifting its head from
under the yoke. The laborer is rising.
Man is raising himself upright, not
in rebellion, but in the fullness of the
dignity of that being that has "clay
for kin, and God for fellow"
Then let US drop the masks of mas
ter and slave-whether of work or of
wage-and let us know ourselves as
men, as brothers, as members of the
same human family.
Together, let US strive to organize
the world of work in such fashion that
Justice will be done to all. So also
may we seek and find anew the dig
nifty of labor and the joy of working,
and the beauty. of toiling together not
only for food, but to provide every
thing that makes for fullness of life
for all.

WHERE ALL CAN HELP

Organized labor does such a world
of good work that every toiler ought
to be ashamed to remain outside Of
its ranks. And the good that the
union does in the way of getting high
er wages and better conditions of en-
ployment extend in a greater or less
degree to all classes of labor, and
no self-respecting man or woman will
accept these benefits without becoming
a part of the movement and bearing
his or her share of the burden. All
this applies with equal force to the
members of the union mans or wom-
ans family and each member should
join and help out in the auxiliaries,
where such exist. But if none of
these avenues are open, there is one
other opportunity that always stands
wide open and beckoning you on to
a field filled with golden opportun-
ities-and that is, the chance to de-
mand the union label on everything
you buy!

out of the work they do. Workers
have an intelligent part in under
takings of cooperative nature only
if they operate through organized
channels and in accord with policies
based upon past information and ex-
perience.
The union reflects the genius of the
nation, the customs of the commun-
ity in which the industrial establish
ment is located and the attitude and
practices of the industrial manage
ment. That is to say, the spirit and
procedure of the union are not mat
ters determined solely by that group,
but are complex rejecting the So

WHAT IS A TRADE
UNION?

A trade union is an organization
that grows out of the needs of life
and work. 1t follows every need of
its members in the light of existing
conditions. 1t is an agency necessary
because workers are one of the in
tegral groups essential to production
and must have part in deciding both
the terms and conditions under which
they work and the problems arising

.ial and economic structure as a

The union must first meet the
problem of providing for wage earn
ers those essential guarantees of JUS
tice in the business relations required
by self-respect and the means where
by standards of living commensurate
with national ideals and well-being
shall be established. The union thus
serves as lifelong force to higher
economics and social levels The
American labor movement has never
accepted the philosophy of class con-
flict and hence does not believe that
warfare between employer and en-
ploye is inevitable. This primary
principle makes possible the spirit
and method of cooperation for the
best interests of all concerned with
production.

With United States Attorney
Charles H. Tuttle suddenly called to
Washington Immediately after the
start yesterday of a so-called inves-
tigation by a federal grand jury in
to the poisoned alcohol death wave
in this city, machinery is believed to
have been set in motion for shifting
the responsibility for the deaths
from the federal prohibition authori-
ties to scapegoats as yet unknown.
The death of Lawrence Dwyer,
81 years old, of 2217 Third Ave-, in
the Bellevue Hospital brought the
total of fatalities from the poison
alcohol to "a. Six new victims were
admitted to the hospital yesterday,
thus swelling the total of disabled
to more than hundred, many of
whom are not expected to live, while
others will probably be blinded for
life.
In appearing before the grand
jury, Tuttle advanced the theory,
intended to cloak real responsibility,
that the wood alcohol responsible
for nearly all the deaths had been
stolen from a special consignment
passing through the city and then
had found its way to East Side
speakeasies.
Others who appeared before the
crrord Ho1
Schwartz, assistant city toxicologist,
and ]. w. Quillan, federal chemist,
who testified as to their findings.
The federal grand jury will turn
over all its material to a special
grand jury, which, on Monday, will
continue unwinding the endless
chain of another of the alleged Gin
vestigations" whose real purpose is
to shield those really guilty and to
befuddle the minds of the masses
by presenting the government in the
role of zealously defending" their
interests.
The poisoned wood alcohol deaths
which have occurred since Saturday,
it is pointed out, are directly trace
able to the federal prohibition de-
partmert's policy of deliberately
poisoning alcohol, policy which has
been endorsed by Secretary Mellon
and other high government officials.
This policy hits directly at the work
ers, since the poisoned alcohol nearly
always finds its way to cheap speak
easies in working class sections,
with disastrous results. 1t is sig
nificant that nearly all the victims
of the latest poison alcohol death
wave has been found in the lower
East SIDE.

Of workers, the Tammany police, to-
gether with federal agents, are con-
tinuing their "raids" on East Side

one of the gestures which are meant
to delude the masses into thinking
that Tammany Hall IS actually
prosecuting those who help to sup
port its graft ring.
The 81 poison alcohol fatalities
and the disabling of more than 100
others have aroused a wave of re-
sentiment among workers in the
lower East Side. They are urged
to express this resentment in con-
crete way by voting Communist in
the coming elections and thus vot-
ing for a program which exposes the
prohibition amendment as capital
ist profit and graft scheme and
points out that the curse of alcohol
ism can only be wiped out with the
wiping out of the capitalist system.

The Importance of women's votes

voters registered thus far shows an
increasingly heavy proportion of
women voters. With the growing
concern of women with political
questions, and the growing realiza-

thirty-second state in which work
ers will have the opportunity of
voting the ticket of class struggle

$4,000 Signatures.
The outstanding feature in the in
tensive drive to put the Communist
candidates on the ballot in New
York was the unprecedented re-
sponse of members of the Workers
(Communist) Party to the call of
the Party for signature gatherers.
Over $4,000 signatures were OBJ
tanned thruout the state despite
enormous difficulties. In many up
state counties where it had never
been attempted before, members of
the Workers (Cemmunist) Party OBJ
tanned the full quota of signatures
required.
In connection with the signature
drive intensive propaganda was
carried on by the party members
engaged in the drive, both in New
York City, where thousands of Com
munist platforms were sold and
other Red literature distributed and
in upstate counties, through which
George Pearlman and Donald Burke
made triumphant signature -propa-
ganda tour in the Red Essex
At the same time that the state
petitions were accepted at Albany,
petitions were filed with the Board
of Elections in New York City
nominating Red candidates for 16
assembly districts, six congressional
and four senatorial districts, the
largest Communist slate ever NOM
mated in the city.
Despite the attacks made on Com
munist speakers by fascist organi-
cations such as the Tammany-con-
trolled Veterans of Foreign Wars,
thousands of New York workers
readily signed their names to put
the Communist ticket on the city
ballot. Negro workers in Harlem
and Brooklyn, thoroly disillusioned
with the capitalist parties, rallied in
