CLEVELAND, Ohio, (By Mai).
--Bertram D. Wolfe, national agit-
prop director of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and candidate from
the Tenth Congressional District of
New York, last night addressed the
workers of this city on the issues
of the present election campaign.
DEFEATING the so-called issues which
the old parties have pushed into
the forefront for lack of genuine
issues, Wolfe attacked the reaction
ary democratic and republican par
ties, saying:
"The Catholic Church was at one
time ruling power in its own right
Today it is only one of the most
powerful and dangerous bulwarks
of capitalism. 1t is the enemy of

end. The capitalist politicians who
appeal to the masses against Smith
merely because he is Catholic, are

Flags Exploiters and
Labor .Fakers
By BILL MATHESON

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (By MaiD.-
William 2. Foster, Communist can
didate for president, was given a
rousing ovation here last night at a
mass meeting that packed Hibernian
Hall to the doors.
In the audience were many miners
from Illinois, workers from the
Chevrolet and other factories, and
a large number of Negro workers.
Cheer after cheer went up as Foster
scored the capitalist parties, the So
cialists and the labor takers.
He ridiculed the claims of Smith
and Hoover that they were friendly
to labor, pointing out that both are
staunch supporters of the capitalist
system and have important posi-
tions on their campaign committees,
some of the most notorious strike
breakers in the United States.
Foster attacked the labor takers
who are transforming the trade
unions into organs of class collabo-
ration instead of instruments of the
class struggle. He declared that the
official leaders of the American
trade union movement are allies of
Wall Street and have nothing in
common with the workers.
The speaker exposed the socialist
party, declaring that it had repu-
dated the militant Debs tradition
of hostility to capitalism, allied it.
self with the trade union bureau
cracy and supported the policies of
imperialism, through its endorse
ment of the League of Nations, the
World Court and the Kellogg pact.
His statement on the Negro ques-
tion was received with tumultuous
applause, when he declared that the
Workers (Communist) Party stood
for tho emancipation of the Negro
masses from the oppression under
which they now suffer, not only as
wage slaves exploited by American
industry but also because of their
color. He declared that the Com
.nunist platform demanded full So
cial and political equality for the
Negro workers and urged the white
workers to fight militantly for the
rights of their black brothers.

Though the testimony in Shifrin's S

clusively that even the judge was
compelled to consider a dismissal of
the case. the right wing clique, led
by the Jewish Daily Forward, which
has been yelping for Shifrin's blood,
succeeded, through its lawyer, the
notorious Samuel Markewich, in
bringing pressure to bear upon the

hold the worker for the grand jury.

CHEER FOSTER AT USSR Thyongs

OF the Krassln
by United Press

LENINGRAD, U. S. S. R., Oct. s..
The Soviet icebreaker Krassin, after
months spent in the Arctic seeking
the remainder of the lost dirigible
Italia's crew, returned here today,
She was given an enthusiastic well
come by the people.
The krassin succeeded in rescu-
ing part of the Italia's crew and
played a most important part in the
entire search.
Great Welcome.
The Krassin was welcomed by a
roar of guns and cheering thousands
along the riverfront. 1t was escorted
up the River Neva by a flotilla of
small warcraft, which met the ice
breaker outside the Kronstadt fort
ress and formed a triumphal process
sion to Leningrad.
1t was estimated that 100000 per
sons lined the river front and
crowded on housetops as the Kras-
sin arrived at the mouth of the
Neva River. Some persons, anxious
to sec the vessel, had even climbed
into church towers for a better view.
When the sturdy vessel arrived
the river valley echoed with the din
Of gun salutes, trumpets, brass
bands and cheers.
Overhead airplanes circled, the
streets were lavishly decorated and
the inhabitants were in high spirits.
The usually quiet streets of the
city were ablaze tonight with Red
banners and the brilliant holiday
costumes of eelebraters. Since the
removal of the capital to Moscow
there has never been such a demon
stration.
The press and all Soviet officials
paid high praise to the victorious
vessel and her triumphant crew.
