Expressing willingness to resign
 rom the park board If the depart
 ment, as it exists now, was likely to carry on', William r. Brooks under
 date or May g wrote Mayor Pao-
 nessa asking him to set forth the reasons for which the resignation was asked.
 Tn written statement, the mayor answered that he held no man in- dlspensible in the city government and explained that although he realized that Mir. Brooks was un- willing to break his connections of many years with former Superinten- dent Wainright. the move was one for greater efficiency. economy and cooperation, and was therefore made.

 Mir. Brooks Letter
 Mir Brooks letter, which was an- parentIy written before he had been acquainted with the fact that he had been dropped from the board, follows:
 Hon. A. M Paonessa. Mayor,
 New Britain. Connecticut. Dear Sir:-
 Your request for my resignation from the board of park commission CTS would be gladly compiled with if the department, as it exists now. was likely to carry on. But your ayowed purpose 10 dispense with our one paid executive against the advice of our board makes me feel that owe It to the city 10 ask you to specify the reasons upon which you base your call for my resignation. Our board feels that so abrupt a change fn the midst of our busy season will he against the interests of the work and that we should have ample time in which to consider so vital a mat ter.
 "The varied work demanded in the care Of our parks has perhaps been less satisfactory in some as- poets than in others. On the one hand we have tried to plan for ulti- mate beauty in these parks. on the other encourage amusement and sport within them. From my talk with you I conclude you feel that the latter consideration has not been acceptably handled. but the boards view of this situation is that more administration is needed. not less. We have discussed and advocated the wisdom Of paid supervisor of recreation who would not only re- ilere the regular park work of this veXing problem but stimulate and sport in all ages and in all seasons. But it Is the former con- slderation that will most suffer in my judgment. and in that of my as- socia'es think also. from these changes, and 1t Is with these consid- erations Of ultimate beauty that I feel sure the larger part of our peo- pie are most interested. although naturally they have no way Of 50 cx- pressing themselves.
 'OE the other hand. If you are right 1t ts only proper that you should receive full credit for the benefits about 10 accrue from your policy.

HIT PROPOSED PA.
ANTI-LAb0R LAWS
Urge Workers to. Vote
mo" on Amendments

PITTSBURGH, Oct. %. - The
Workers (Communist) Party of
District 5 has issued an appeal to
Pennsylvania workers urging them
40 vote against the proposed amend
Iaents to the state constitution which
lire directed against the working
class.
"Sornc Of the amendments" says
the statement, fare directly anti
labor. strike breaking, nilitarist pro-
posals, such as proposed amend
ment A to issue bonds to the amount
of S5,000,O00 for the purpose Of
erecting armories and equipping
the state national guard; the pro-
posed amendment 8 to authorize a
loan Of 100000 TO suppress in
surrections, to defend the state
against war; etc. Also proposed
amendment la, aiming to increase
the appointive power of the gov
ernor.
Likewise the measure against
instructions is an open challenge
to the workers. The bosses know
that the time is bound to come when
the workers of this state will find
themselves in such a miserable con-
dition that they will be compelled
to rise against their exploiters and
fpppressors.
"Any worker voting for these
amendments votes for another
bloody war and for approval of the
strikebreaking role Of the govern
ment."

The response of Negro workers
in New York to the Communist cleo
ton campaign has been very graft
flying, according to Harold C. Will
liams, district organizer of Negro
work for the Workers (Communist)
Party.
In the Negro section of Harlem
three outdoor rallies a week are be-
ing held, and three others week
III Brownsville, where a large Ne
gro section has sprung up in the
last few years. At these meetings,
according to Williams, many Negro
workers make application for mem
bership. So far throughout the city
IS Negro members have joined the
Workers (Communist) Party as a
result of the election campaign. Of
these, 30 joined in Harlem and 25
in Brownsville.

HOW SHALL THE
NEGRO WOMAN
WORKER VOTE?
But One Party Favors
Racial Equality
By GRACE LAMB.

Colored women, like other voters
during the present campaign, are
being swamped with campaign lit
erature and letters from the CAPT
talist parties requesting votes for
their candidates. 1t must therefore
be borne in mind by colored women
voters, that the function of the vote
is to give opportunity to citizen
to register his or her opinion as to
which parties will best protect his
interests and those of his respective
e. CUP.
The democratic and republican
parties have been in power through
Negro votes since the close Of the
Civil War. Negroes have voted for
both parties during this long period.
Out of democratic and republican
administrations alike, have come
Jim Crowism, nobbing, segregation
lynching, southern disfranchisement
and general terrorism; lack of OPP
portunity of making living and
poor educational facilities. At the
same time a stamp Of inferiority has
been placed on all Negro people,
This is the past record of the capi-
talist parties. In the present cam
paign they promise nothing better.
Only the Workers (Communist)
Party stands for full social and ra-
cial equality, equal opportunity to
e II living, fair and square treat
ment before the courts of law, and
general racial emancipation. A
vote, therefore, for the Workers
(Communist) Party, its platform
and its candidates, is the only vote
which can serve the interests of the
Negro women voter as a worker,
and which expresses her struggle to
gain for her posterity an equal OPP
portunity for life, liberty and nor
NAL human development.

workers are rallying to the class
struggle platform Of the Workers

concrete demands for women work
ers.
"The platforms of neither the re-
publican and democratic parties nor
that of the socialist party contain
any concrete demands affecting the
woman worker" says the statement
Under the auspices of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, huge Red

women workers work longer
hours for less wages than men work
ers. They are most exploited" The
joint statement and call to the Red
rally of November 1st goes on to
cite the conditions of working wom-
en- thruout the country. "In demo-
cratic New Jersey women workers
are employed 81 to 60 hours week
for an average wage of $40 to SIS.
In Maryland the conditions are the
same and night work for women is
legally permitted" Conditions worse
than these, the statement says, are
to be found in southern states.

GREET SOVIET UNION
Workers Asked to Describe Conditions

Individual workers, factory groups,
left wing members in the trade
unions, the factory and street nu-
clei of the Workers (Communist)
Party are earnestly invited to send
their 18th anniversary greetings to
the workers and peasants of the
Soviet Union. This is made possible
through special arrangement with
the editorial board of "Gudok"
(Whistle), the official daily paper
of the Railroad Workers Union,
with half a million circulation, ex-
tending wherever the railroads go,
into every nook of the far-flung

The greetings must of necessity
be short. But workers should write

something about conditions in their
own factories, comparing them with
the conditions eleven years ago.
Have they been getting better or
worse during this period? The
workers in the Soviet Union, point
out that their conditions have been
rapidly improving under the Soviet
power. They want to know how
the workers in the rest of the world,
especially in the United States of
America, are getting along, what
their experiences are, thus giving
them an opportunity to compare
them with their own. There is very
little time before the anniversary of

new BUTCHERIES
Butchery of Jews Goes
on Unchecked

The Anti-Horthy League has is
sued statement signed by Emery
Balint, secretary, pointing out that
the pogroms taking place in Hun
gary at the present time are only
a chapter of the struggle between
Horthy and Bethlen, and that re-
pewed and increased combats are to
be expected in which the workers,
peasants and Jews will be the VIC
Tins.
The statement is as follows:
During the last few weeks pog-
roms have been raging in all parts
IF Hungary, aimed directly at the
Jewish residents, also against the
workers, their organizations and
press organs.
"These attacks are led by the
awakening Magyars,' but they are
only a part of the struggle in which
Count Bethlen, present premier, is
confronting Horthy, regent of Hun
gary.
"This struggle is not new. 1t was
revived only recently, when Count
Bethlen took measures to settle the
question Of running the government.
Count Bethlen's object is to put
king on Hungary's throne and
thereby maintain his and his sur
rounding groups political leader
ship.
"Horthy has dual aim in organ
izing pogroms and attacks against
the workers. One is to demonstrate
to the foreign countries that the
Bethlen cabinet is not stable. The
pther is to strike at the workers
md Jews at the expense of the
jBethlen government.
"The struggle for political hege-
mony has just started with in
creased strength. The bloody pog-
roms and persecution of workers is
only prologue to what is coming
Every militant worker must protest
against the murder of jews and
workers and denounce the brutality
committed in the interest of two
tyrants fighting for their own polit-
ical power.
"The Anti-Horthy League has
sent cablegram in the name of its
own and number of other organ
izations to the Hungarian govern
ment, protesting against the pog-
roms and denouncing the persecu-
ton of workers.
"Our League has asked every
Hungarian organization and press
organ in America to send their pro-
test to the Hungarian government,
which is afraid to take serious steps
against the Awakening Hungarians.'
instead of convicting and imprison-
ing the Awakening Magyars' they
jail the Jews and workers, who are
defending themselves against the
brutality.
1.-THE danger of pogroms and per-
secutions in Hungary will exist I'M
til both Bethlen and Horthy are de-
posed. Only the workers and pea
SAINTS government can protect the
rights of the Hungarian workers"
