ger thing Of the past. Today
military institutions throughout the
country are training thousands of
young workers, farmers, and stu
dents each year. The Citizens
Military Training Camps are again
waging campaign to recruit young
workers from mines, mills and fac
tories and students from schools.
The C. M. T. c. is a military in
stitution that serves only the erul-
ing class and trains the young work
ers and students to become cannon
fodder in the coming imperialist
war. 1t trains young workers to
become scabs at times when workers
strike for a better standard of
living.
AS such the C. M. T. C. must be
fought by the workers and young
workers of this country. Unem-
ployed young workers beware! Do
not fall for the propaganda of the
military recruiting officers, but or
ganize and fight side by side with
us against war and militarism.
Workers, defend the only workers
and farmers government 1.-THE Sow
let Union), the only country on this
May Day of international solidarity.
The workers of the Soviet Union will
be able to wave into the open the
Red Banner, the banner that repre-
sents the workers solidarity and
the emancipation of the working
class. The Red Banner is the work
ers' flag, flag of liberty and free
dom. Workers must defend the
Soviet Union from the attack Of the
imperialists because the Soviet
Union is the fatherland Of the work
ers of the world.
On this May the First let US re-
view our past activities, let US pay
a tribute to the thousands of work
ers who bravely died in the workers
barbados throughout the world.
Let us send our message of soli-
darity to the thousands of workers
suffering in the damp and filthy
capitalist prisons in every corner
of the earth.
Workers! Make this May the
First day for workers mobiliza-
ton and let us fight on for new
era, for a better system of society,
Communist system of society
where only workers and farmers,
the producers, will enjoy liberty and
freedom. On with our fight, work
ers! Organize!

LANSING, o., May Tins little
mining town seems to be at peace
with the world, and it is hard to be-
lieve that hardly more than a week
ago one of the most dramatic incl
dents that ever frightened the pages
of the history of the class struggle
in the United States, took place here.
Yet this peaceful atmosphere is
only a mask that wells the dynamic
tenseness that is the fruit of one of
the most prolonged and bitterly con-
tested struggles in the history of the
American labor movement.
Grim Determination.
Behind the smile there is that grim
determination, the determination Of
men and women who may die but who
never surrender.
You have but to mention the strike,
the coal operators, the strike
breakers, the sheriff and officials Of

Celebrate 100
Years of Labor
Party in Penn

All workers should rally to this
centennial celebration of the Penn
sylvania Labor Party, and make it
a real demonstration for indepen-
dent political action of the working
class. In John Brophy, the leader
of the militant rank-and-file miners
in their struggle against the coal
barons and the reactionary, corrupt,
operator controlled Lewis machine,
we have. a candidate who has real
significance for Pennsylvania work
ers.
Real Labor Leaders.
1t means that after a hundred
years of the development of the
Labor Party, in which the party has
been dominated by the reactionary
leaders of the A. F. of L., and been
used as tool of the old capitalist
political parties, the politicians of
the republican and democratic par
ties, the Labor Party now will put
up candidates who are real trade
unionists, who run on no other
ticket but the labor ticket, and who,
like Brophy and Thomas, have
fine record of struggle for the rank
and-file against the bosses and the
labor bureaucracy.
Maurer Allowed Sell-Out.
1t is interesting to note that
james Maurer, the candidate for
vice-president in 1928 on the social
list party ticket, for many years the
president of the Pennsylvania Fed
Grafton of Labor, and an influential
figure in the Pennsylvania Labor
Party, has allowed the above SELL
out to go on without any struggle.

BUILDERS GIVE OK.
+. TO SH|PSTEAD BILL
Regulation of ExteriorS of
Private Structures by Art
Commission Approved.

Hearty Endorsement of the ShipSteao
bill, now before Congress, which would
give the Fine Arts Commission power
to regulate the exterior appearance OF
private buildings erected near Govern
ment structures and reservations has
been voted by the Operative Builders
Association of Washington, whose MEM
bers would be vitally effected by the
proposed law.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, eXecu-
tive officer of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, today re-
ceived a letter from Rufus S. LuSk
executive secretary of the Operative
Builders Association, announcing that
members of the body had unanimously
approved the legislation.
The letter stated, in part:
Since the members Of this aSSocla-
tion do over one-half of all the private
building in Washington. this proposed
law will affect them more than any
other group.
we believe that such regulation as
proposed in this bill will certainly be
q strong factor in molding Washings
ton into the beautiful city, which, as
the Nations Capital, it should be. The
beauty of public buildings and parks
of the city may be marred by unsightly
structures adjoining them.
THE ShipStead law will gradually
eliminate this condition and, as the
principal builders of Washington, We
are heartily in favor of its provisions. u
