PASTA APPLIES
NEW METHODS"
AGAINST LABOR
Peasants Starve While
Communists are Jailed

CONSTANTINOPLE, (By MaiD.
The modern European" regime
of Renal Pasha has hemmed in the
Turkish people with all the dark
sides of civilization. The industrial
crisis, which has grown especially
serious lately, has shaken the young
industry of Turkey. AS with so
many European governments the
Turkish regime has also attempted
to suppress the dissatisfaction and
need of the masses by white terror
methods. Every attempt to form a
workers organization is immediate
ly stifled.
In the press there are daily re-
ports of the extraordinary rise in
prices. Government commissions
carry ON investigations into the
standard of living, of course, with
out any results bankruptcies in
the towns increase and the number
of suicides is exceedingly great. In
certain sections actual starvation is
so great that the peasants, as in
the province of Konia, flee to the
woods and feed on grass.
In earlier times in such situa-
tons Armenian pogroms were view
ed as a means of temporarily re-
lieving the situation, but now the
government is more modern and
carries on Communist processes.
In Constantinople towards the
end of June a process against seven
workers took place, who were

list proclamations on May l, The

PASSPORT LAWS

Permit Necessary to

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, (Bv
MaiD The natives Of South
Africa are tied hand and foot by
severe passport regulations. Every
adult man must have passport.
The passport law also demands
that in addition to the principal
Identification passport, the native
must have a special passport to
travel from one town to another,
registering at the passport office in
his native section in order to receive
a seven-day permit to look for work.
And when he is working, he must
carry with him the special passport
if he wishes to go from one part
of the city to another or even be
able to visit a friend in nearby
street.
1t is inevitable that such pass
port law is often broken. Frequent
ly, the police make raids in GER

rests of the natives whose passports
are not Sin order"
Recently, in Pretoria, the police
made wholesale raids and arrested
more than seven hundred. (Esper-

against the invading United States
marines. The Communists support
the victims of United States i'm
perialist against that imperialism in
the Philippines, in Haiti, Porto Rico
and wherever throughout Latin
America and China. The heroic Red
Army of China is supported by the
Communist parties Of the whole
world in it's war against the Ameri-
can, British, Japanese and other i'm
perialists, and against the Chinese
tools of foreign Imperialism, Chang
Kai-shek and other militarists.
Fight Against Imperialist War!
The Workers (Communist) Party
calls upon the working class and the
exploited farmers to struggle against
the Forthcoming imperialist war.
In the next war class-conscious
and thoughtful members of the work
ing class will not waste themselves
with futile individual action as
conscientious directors" but will
utilize the arms that are put into
their hands to turn the war between
nations into a war between classes
"a civil war for the liberation of
the toilers from their exploiters--a
war for the overthrow of the CAPT
talist society and the establishment
of a workers and farmers govern
ment, the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.
In the Imperialist Trenches.
Workers and farmers when facing
each other in the trenches of two
imperialist armies must fraternize
between the trenches and turn
against the imperialist rulers in both
camps. But where workers and
farmers, conscripted for war, find
themselves face-toface with an army
that is not imperialist- as the
Red Army of the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics, or an army of an
oppressed colonial or semi-colonial
people such as that of China or
N:caragua-they can fulfill their
duty to their own cause only by
going over bodily to the army of
liberation. ALREADY SPLENDID

SEE ELEMENTARY
RIGHTS CRUSHED
BY new MEASURE
Labor Defiant Over
Passage

BoGoTA, Colombia, August g.
Following lengthy debate, pro-
tracted by the 'liberal elements
which fear repressive measures on
the part of the government may be
against labor, the measure restrict
directed against them as well as
ing Communist propaganda" was
passed by the chamber of deputies
here yesterday. The final vote stood
AZ to 26 in favor of the restrictive
measure.
While aimed ostensibly against
Communist propaganda" opposing
elements in the chamber declared
during the debate that suppression of
even the elementary rights of
seech, press and assembly is intend
ed by the government.
Alarmed by the growing militancy
of the Colombian workers, the au-
thorities are attempting to check it
by the passage of the present law.
Defiance of the new measure was
the keynote in the attitude of the
workers in this city when announce
ment that the law had been passed
was made public.
Denunciation of the measure and
of the government which passed it
was frequent and there is wide
sphead belief that American oil
interests are involved in its passage.

York City, George J. Saul writes:
"The convention resulted in in
creased interest in Communist ac-
tivities on the part of both COM

attention to the danger of war, the
plight of the poor farmers, de-
nouncing the murderers of Sacco

for the convention and will be used
throughout the campaign.

BEGIN FIGHT ON
TRAIN RATE JUMP
40 Percent Increase
Rouses Commuters

Westchester commuters yesterday
were preparing for a bitter court
fight against the 40 per cent rate
increase of the New Haven Railroad,
which was upheld Wednesday by the
same Public Service Commission
which recently denied consumers in
New York City the opportunity Of
protesting against the proposed ST.
O00,000.o0O merger of the Consoli-
dated Gas Company Of New York
and the Brooklyn Edison Company.
The counsel for the people in the
communities affected by the increase
declared that the commissions rul-
ing has removed the final barrier
against taking the fight into the
courts.
Among the members of the Public
Service Commission under whose
jurisdiction the rate increase was
given credence, were the same poll
ticians involved in the handing over
of the New York Gas Companies to
the Mellon interests; George R. Van
Nance, Tammany man who managed
Smiths pre-convention campaign,
Prendergast, comptroller of New
York in 1911, who sold out to the
traction interests with Mayor Gay
nor and the entire Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, and George R.
Lunn, former socialist.
