Famous Author Quaffed Almshouse
Ale From It When He Visited

LONDON G49.-An ancient wooden
bowl from which Samuel Pepys once
quaffed almshouse ale was up for auc-
ton here recently. 1t is the "mazer
bowl which for five centuries has been
o treasured possession Of the King
Edward VI almshouses at Saffron
Walden.
The aImshouses were founded in 400.
and until 1887 the bowl was used for
the governors TO drink from at the
annual election. 1t is too leaky now to
be used FOR such purpose, but when
Pepys visited Saffron Walden in 1850
he drank from it and mentioned the
bowl in his diary:
In our going, my landlord carried
us through very old hospital or aims
house. They brought me draft of
their drink In a brown bowl, tipt with
silver. which I drank off, and at the
bottom was picture Of the Virgin, and
the Child in her arms, done in silver
The intrinsic value of the bowl Is not

Of the war of aggression against the
Soviet Union, the conclusion of the
secret agreements, the delivery of
war material to the Border States,
show the dangerous situation and
the determined will of the French
government to attack the Soviet
Union.
In the German Reichstag there
was recently exposed the secret arm
ing Of the bourgeoisie and the pro-
ducticn of war material on large
scale; the construction of the ar
INQUIRED cruiser, ostensibly "for the
defense Of the Baltic" shows that
the new German imperialism is also
taking its place in the anti-Soviet
front.
The establishment Of the open
military dictatorship in Yugoslavia
is further step towards the extern
sion and completion of the aggres-
sive front against the Soviet Union.
Workers of all countries! Friends
Of the Soviet Union!
All these facts show the exceed
ingly menacing war danger against
the Soviet Union. A war against
the Soviet Union is a war against
the workers of all countries.
1t is the duty Of the working class
to prevent this war by every means.
The friends of the Soviet Union
must organize the defensive front in
the factories and workshops and in
all workers organizations.
Factory meetings, mass demon
strations must be held in order to
onlighten the workers regarding the
threatening war danger.
Committees in factories and trade
unions must conduct the mass fight
against war preparations.

mongcrs!

vital issues confronting the workers.
The crocodile tears and "indigna-
ton" as expressed by the labor fax
ers and socialists will not be taken
seriously by the workers of Illinois.
The class-conscious workers and
their political party, the Workers
(Communist) Party, are not at all
surprised or indignant" knowing
full we'll that Emmerson is a spokes-
man for capitalism and that these
same bureaucrats are responsible for
putting Emmerson into office by the
policy of betrayal which is expressed
in reward your friends, and punish
your enemies" Only by organizing
the working class politically under
the banner of the class struggle can
we fight the Emmersons, insults,
and their labor lieutenants, Johnny
Walker, Victor Olander, etc.
Our Major Issues in the Chicago
Aldermanic Election Campaign.
The outstanding issues concern
ing the working class must be
brought forward in the February
aldermanic elections. The capitalist
class in Chicago, expressing the
wishes of the bosses, are demanding
an increase of 5,400 more police.
In other words, the doubling of the
police force. This demand of the
employers has already found organi-
rational expression in the resolution
of Alderman O'Toole in the Chicago
City Council. AS an adjunct of the
employers, the police department OF
Chicago has always been ruthless
in the suppression of strikes and the
smashing of picket lines. Every
time the workers of Chicago go on
strike or participate in any strug-
gle or demonstration of the work
ers : Chicago, they meet this strike
breaking agency of capitalism-the
police.
The workers of Chicago recall the
role of the police department in the
stockyards strikes, argo, garment
strikes, Sacco-V anzetti demonstra-
tions, etc. The bosses foresee the
trend of development leading to
sharper and greater class struggles
and therefore demand Strengthening
of the police forces. The Workers
(Communist) Party points out to
the workers the necessity of struggle
against capitalism. The workers
must organize their own defense
corps for defense against the fascist
methods of the employers, work for
the overthrow of capitalism and the
establishment of a workers and
farmers government.
Another outstanding issue is the
traction problem. This is not a new
issue, but recent disclosures show
The intimate connection between the
bankers, city administration, and
traction companies. The profits OF
the traction interests are increasing
daily. The traction workers on the
elevated and surface lines are suf.

state administration and the Chicago
aldermanic election campaign, which
is now in full swing, have brought
forth vital issues and problems con-
corning the working class.
In analyzing the motive forces or
the economic background, together
with the political problems and class
relationships and class struggles that
take place in Illinois-we see that
they are of the same character as
those confronting the working class
of the United States nationally. Chi
csgo and the rest of the state of
Illinois is the typical American in
dustrial area. BY having a clear
picture of the issues and daily prob
lens of the Illinois workers, we also
understand the national struggle Of
the working class.
The actuality of the new imperi-
alist war concerns the working class
of Chicago who are employed in the
basic industries that are essential
to the prosecution of modern imperi-
alist warfare, such as steel, rail-
way, chemicals, foods stuffs, etc.
The understanding of these local
struggles against the capitalists,
broadens the national and interna-
tional political perspectives of the
workers of Chicago.
Corporations Control Illinois.
Finance capital and its interlocking
corporations determine and control
the political policies and machinery
of Illinois, control the political par
ties of capitalism; both republican
and democratic parties as such, and
the repressive organs of capitalism,
the state and local governments.
Banking capital continues to solidify
itself. Mergers are the order of the
day. Within the last few months we
have witnessed the merger of the
Continental and Commercial Trust
with the Illinois Merchants Trust,
forming a billion dollar bank-sup-
posed to be the worlds largest bank
under one roof" Also the mergers
of the Central Trust of Illinois (con-
trolled by Dawes) with the Bank Of
America; the Union Trust and the
State Bank of Chicago; the forma-
ton of the insult Utilities Invest
ment Trust; the acquisition of the
Peabody Coal interests by insult;
the consolidation of the traction in
terests under the Illinois Merchants
Bank, Harris Trust, and insult, etc.
These capitalist interests come
forward openly as the political rul-
ers of Chicago and of Illinois. They
are no longer satisfied to rule thru
some intermediate political group
This was best illustrated in the de-
mand of Silas Strawn, big corpora
ton lawyer, in his demand to ap,
point business mems committee tc
supervise the City Council, plan taz
rates, etc.
In the primaries of April, 1928

corporation counsel for the city of
Chicago. In the floor of the Chicago
City Council, bankers and the trac-
ton trust have a militant represen-
taive in Alderman Oscar F. Nelson,
vice-president of the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor, outstanding cor
rupt labor bureaucrat. Thus we see
complete political control by capital
ism from the government down to
the reactionary labor bureaucracy.
Takers Help Bring in Cossacks.
A seton of the labor bureaucracy
supported Louis L. Emmerson for
governor of Illinois in the last cleo
ton. In his inaugural address, the
new governor showed his gratitude"
to labor by asking for the creation
of a state constabulary. This is the
pet h.easure of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association. The workers
of Illinois have been fighting this
vicious cossack bill for years, know
ing full we'll the meaning of such a
force.
The state police are to be used
against the workers of the indus
trial towns of Illinois in time of
strikes and particularly against the
miners. The labor takers and social
lists profess to be very much "indig-
nant" because of this proposal of
Governor Emmerson. IN his inaug-
ural address, Emmerson showed his
contempt for the working class. He
did not even once mention the word
'labor," let alone touch any prob
lens that confront the workers of
Chicago.
The mining crisis in Illinois is still
acute. The mechanization of the
mines and the speed-up, coupled
with the betrayal of Fishwick, is
throwing thousands of miners out
of work. The miners, in spite of the
corrupt leadership, are fighting
back, as witnessed in the wildcat
strikes which occur daily. Just the
other day, 500 miners struck work
at Franco Mine No. l, Johnston City
Illinois, against the speed-up and
unemployment that followed. The
miners see the only way out in strug-
gle and the building of the new
MINER union.
Unemployment.
The unemployment situation II
Chicago is not so bright. The build.
ing industry in the month of De-
cember, 1928, as compared with the
same month in 1927, showed an II
per cent drop. There has been nc
noticeable increase in employment
in Illinois over last year, according
to S. W. Wilcox of the state depart
ment of labor. In a view Of pros
poets, he (Wilcox) forsees more un
employment during 1929, especially
among the building trades worker:
and agricultural workers. Free EN-
ployment offices throughout tht
state reiterate the statement tina
farmers are taking fewer and fewer
workers.
Governor Emmerson in his ad
dress touched upon none of thes'
