NEWS DELIVERY
DRIVERS STRIKE;
RESIST THUGS
Newark Bosses Frame
Truck Thefts

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 15.-Last
Thursday the drivers working for
all the news delivery agencies went
out on strike against 12-hour day,
for an increase in wages and recog-
milton of the union. The strikers
were compelled to put up lonesome
battle against guerillas imported
from New York City and the armed
guards in trucks driven by scabs
and motorcycle police, protecting
the trucks.
The police are being supplied by
Commissioner Brennan, a so-called
friend of labor.
Mr.. Bannon, the international
president of the union, has ordered
the strikers back to work and once
again proves his efficiency as a
strikebreaker and friend of the
bosses. None of the officers Of the
Essex Trades Council have offered
the strikers any assistance finan-
cially or morally.
This is a rank and file strike with
the local officers of the union mill
family fighting in behalf of the
members of the local union.
New York City gunner have
beaten up many strikers, who have
asked scabs to join the strike and
picket lines with them. Several
members of the union are carrying
bruises and two are in hospitals.
Members of other locals thruout the
states are urged to stay away from
Newark while the strike is on.
The employers are reported to
have framed up disappearance of
trucks and destroyed newspapers, to
create public opinion against the
strikers.

Meeting Held Under
Auspices of Coop

A mass meeting to endorse the
class struggle ticket and Red can
didates of the Workers (Communist)
Party in the 1928 elections, will be
held on Friday evening, October 10,
at the Parkview Palace, 10th st.
and Fifth Ave.
The speakers at the meeting will
be Rebecca Grecht, Communist cam
paign manager and Red candidate
in the 5th Bronx assembly district;
Richard B. Moore, Negro Commun-
list candidate for the 21st Harlem
congressional district; Melech Ep-

bert Moreau, candidate in the 18th

district, and David Sigel, of the
Unity Arbeiter Cooperative Asso-
citation, under whose auspices the
meeting will be held.
In commenting on the mass meet
ing called by the Unity Co-opera-
tive, Sigel said, "The cooperative
movement, being part of the gen
eral labor movement, is opposed to
the present profiteering system. The
building of co-operatives under the
present conditions, is a weapon OF
the working class, and helps the
workers carry on the class struggle
This is why we urge all workers
to support in masses the platform
and candidates of the Workers
(Communist) Party, the only party

try"
The results Of the Red Night helc
in Harlem last week, at which g
large and enthusiastic demonstra'
ton was held at the corner of 110tf
st. and 9th Ave-, have proven that
Harlem workers are very much in
terested in the platform of class
struggle advocated by the Workers
(Communist) Party, and the attend
ance at the meeting Friday night is
expected to be large.

FAKERS RULE AT
3 HAT MEETINGS
Left Wing Nominees
Kept Off Ballot

The right wing machine in the
Cloth Hat and Capmakers Interna-
tional Union showed its true colors
at meetings Of Locals 8, l and 81,
held Saturday and last night for the
purpose of nominating candidates
for organizers.
The practice of voting on nomin-
ated candidates, instituted by the
local officers about a year ago, has
been repeatedly exposed by the left
wing. Candidates who are nomin-
ated for office are not placed on
the ballot, but a vote is taken on
the nominees. This vote is by open
ballot, a method by which the right
wing takers are able to terrorize
the members into nominating their
henchmen and keeping all progress
sive candidates off the ballot.
At the meeting Of Local 3 on Sat
urday afternoon President Max
Zaritsky, car of the international,
delivered one of his well-known at
tacks on the left wing. l.. Cohen, a
left wing worker, in reply, stated
that 0per cent of Zaritsky's speech
consisted of lies and the rest of
something worse. He exposed the
fake maneuvers of the right wing
clique and pointed out that year
ago the left wing sent letter to
the G. E. B., asking that the new
nomination policy be rescinded.
Thus far the G. E. B. has found no
time to take action on the letter,
Cohen said, declaring that the tao
tics used by the machine to keep
the left wing off the ballot were
even worse than those used by Tam
many Hall.
The left wing refrained from vot-
ing at the Local 3 meeting, declar-
ing that it's candidates, l.. Cohen and
II. SAFER, had been legally nomin-
ated.
At the Local 1 meeting Saturday
evening only one speaker, H. SAFER,
was permitted to present the left
wing side, while four right wingers
were given the floor. SAFER ex-
posed the dirty tactics employed by
the RICH wing to keep itself in office
end challenged the reactionaries to
appoint an impartial committee to
investigate his statements. He
pointed out that the right wing
chiefs had failed to enforce the
agreement with the bosses and to
care for the unemployed workers in
the trade.

of Red Watchers of

A conference of Red Watchers
to function at the polling places
throughout the city on election
day will be held on Thursday, Oct.

In sending out the call for the
Red Watchers the District CAM
paign Committee reminds all
class-conscious workers that, with
the unprecedented vigor of this

much larger vote expected this
> year, undoubtedly efforts will be
made hy the capitalist politicians
to steal, or, in other ways, void
ballots containing cross next to
the hammer and sickle, emblem of
working class militancy.

taken steps, even if unsuccessful,
to stop the spread of the working
class propaganda of the Workers

York workers. the call states,
citing the attacks made on Red
meetings. and speakers by the

clans will do everything in their
power TO counteract our campaign

crowd on the drill floor. Thousands
of uniformed men were reached by
this distribution.
Police Immediately arrested five
of the distributors.
After reviewing the history of
the last capitalist blood bath called
"the war to end war;" the leaflet
goes on to show the preparations
which the militarists are feverishly
making for the next slaughter in
the near future.
The United States is today spend
ing for it's military establishment
five times as much as it did before
1914. 1t has 1872 million men ready
to be drawn into active military
service. 1t is manufacturing thou
sands of airplanes to be used to
bomb foreign cities in the same way
in which American airplanes are to-
day devastating the peaceful viii
lagos of Nicaragua, to make that
country "safe for Wall Street" "
Secretary of State Kellogg, author
of the fake peace pact, has said,
"all governments recognized that it
is incumbent upon them to be fully
prepared as regards chemical war
fare" An American officer writing
of chemical warfare speaks of
''heartrending schemes being planned
and placed in experimentation for
aerial bombing, gassing, germ in
oculation and liquid fire devasta-
ton . the utter wiping out of
the. necessaries of life and the rise
and spread of famine and pesti-
lence." Thousands of young men
are being trained for war in the
Citizens Military Camps and the
various sections of the National
Guard. These guardsmen are being
used at the same time against work
ers, on strike in New Bedford, Penn
sylvania, Colorado, etc.
The leaflet then points out that
the Workers Party alone fights in
the interests of all the workers and
urges the working class to support
the Party in all its campaigns.
Attention of the uniformed men
is drawn especially to the Pageant
of the Glass Struggle, which takes
place at Madison Square Garden on
Nov. A. The war danger will be
displayed at that time.

Street finance capitalist masters, in
the strongest language yet uttered
by him, that he would do their bid
ding.
Whose Prosperity?
"The increase in wealth and pros
perity in the United States has come
since the war;" Hoover declared in
obvious distortion of the fact that
prosperity for the ruling class has
been a growing phenomena since the
civil war and particularly since the
opening of the century.
Speaking of the enormous increase
in production which has taken place
since the war, Hoover repeated
again the Justification he enunciated
at Newark that much of this in
crease of production has been abb
sorbed in higher standards of liv-
ing" He then touched upon the
great problem facing the govern
ment to get rid of the enormous
surplus profits in the form of ex-
cess goods. eve must find a profit
able market for these SURPRISES"
he said.
At this point he gave in some
Adetail the methods through which
the department of commerce headed
by himself had assisted exporters
in finding markets" In even greater
detail he described how the great
imperialist government at Washing
ton chad used its influence against
foreign raw goods combines"
"The lives and property of our
citizens abroad shall be- protected"
he threatened. "But this is not inn
perialism," he insisted.
Admitting that in at least four
occasions, the republican admins
tration had resorted to armed inter-
vention to insure the profits of the
big foreign investors, he argued
that the previous democratic admin
istration had done so nine times.
From this he sought to argue that
the U. S. government was becoming
less imperialistic evading the obvious
fact that the basis for the imperial
ist invasions had already been laid
| by previous administrations, hence
the fewer number of new attacks.
