Socialists in Defeat on
Trick to Use KarOlyi

7, with the SCHOOL organizing a
reception committee for Count Kar-
olyi.
At the same time, one of this
hypocritical gang of socal-fascsts,
( the American Socialist" party's as
sistant to Horthy among the Hun
garian workers in the United States,
scoundrel named Goendor, began
an attack on the anti-fascist organ
ization, the Anti-Horthy League.
Goendor claimed that the Anti
Horthy League, which was arrang-
ing meetings for Count Karolyi,
was arranging anti-fascist meetings
without Karolyi's knowledge or con-
sent. The fact was that this gang
of social-fascists were the ones
guilty of such double dealing as to
fight the anti-fascists while trying
to get Karolyi to lecture under their
auspices without his knowledge that
he was being used by aides of
Horthy whom Karolyi denounces.
After the Authority League
communicated with Karolyi, Kar-
olyi upset the scheme of the sociG>
fascist Socialist" party by the fol-
lowing cable:
Refuse to be monOpOlized by
any kind Of political organization.
Therefore refuse to lecture under
auspices Of Rand School. Only
under Feakins management. This
should be on posters and printed
programs. This irrevocable."
The "Feakins" referred to is the
lecture-tour agency of William F.
Feakins, Incorporated, who con-
tracted with Karolyi for lectures in
English, while his lectures in Hun
garian were handled through the
Anti-Horthy League, non-partisan
anti-fascist organization.
Following the receipt of the Kar-
olyi cable, the social-fascist $50
cialist" party had to give up its at
tempt to mask its fascist character,
and called off their meeting for
Karolyi and their reception COM
mittee."
The Anti-Horthy League, in a
statement yesterday commenting on
the defeat Of the American aids to
Hungarian fascism remarked in
part:
The Rand School and the So
cialist party, with this, find them
selves completely on the outside
of all Karoiyi meetings. The So
cial-fascists did not succeed with
their plan to hide their fascist
connections behind the person of
Karolyi. The Hungarian social
democrats are the pillars of the
Horthy fascist rule. The Second

bad as in 1921. These are the con-
ditions which cause the terrorism

ment.
"This terrorism is directed first
against the Communist Party, which
has led some of the most important
struggles of the working class in
recent years. The bosses hope to

Masses of Nicaragua
Fight On While Many
Leaders Desert Them

A poet, who has managed to be-
come secretary of the Nicaraguan
Federation of Labor, Solomon de la
Selva, and who instead of appealing
to revolutionary workers of the
United States is engaged in the ridi-
culous business of starting legal
proceedings in the Federal courts of
the United States over bubble as
to whether it is legal or not under
American laws for U. S. armed
forces to act as authorities in for
eign countries, spoke Monday night
in New York City, but not to work
ers--only to the bourgeois liberals
of the City Club.
De la Selva is reported to be a
follower of SANDING, who to all APP
pearances is retired from the strug-
gle and is certainly living peacefully
in Mexico, though De la Selva claims
that the Nicaraguan workers and
peasants are still fighting the U. S.
marines in Nicaragua until the last
man is dead or the marines are with
drawn"
Strangely, De la Selva claims that
"his" partisans do not seek the ov-
erthrow of Moncada, the tool of
Yankee Imperialism elected by the
Marines" as he admits. He states
that news of the fighting is sup
pressed by imperialist news agencies
because they are connected with the
U. S. consul and Yankee business in
terests.
De la Selva has been taken in by
Green and the A. F. Of L., the "la-
Dor" agency of American imperial
ism, which may explain some of his
absurd actions.

head, is following the same poll
tical line as the Hungarian social
democratic party.
There is as wide a gulf be-
tween the anti-fascists and the
social democrats as there is be-
tween the cause of anti-fascism
and fascism. The cunning plan
of the socialist party E. was
all in vain. The meeting in the
Carnegie Hall is going to be held,
all right, but the social fascists
will have to watch it from the
outside"
The Anti-Horthy League state
ment, signed by Hugo Gellert, presi-
dent, and Imre Balint, secretary,
states that Karolyi will arrive in
New York on Jan. d, altering ar
engagements for earlier arrival and
thus automatically postponing till
later the date made for him to
speak at the Central Opera House
in New York City.

abuses by the owners in each mine,
but also for certain general de-
mands: The six-hour day and five
day week, a $35 week minimum
wage, recognition of the N.M.U.,
abolition of the check-off, no more
bug lights, no more fines and penal
ties, social insurance for the unem-

bigger crews on the machines, one
man on each job, no discrimination
against Negro miners.
The terroristic drive, now carried
on largely by deputized operators
and Fishwick gangsters goes on,
with arrests every day.
The entire community is greatly
incensed, particularly at the arrest
of Henry Corbishley, Illinois district
secretary of the N.M.U., by the state
parole office. 1t is clearly the in
tention of the milEonaire-ridden
state of Illinois to establish the
principle that when a worker is
framed up and paroled, engaging in
union activity or strikes is consid-
cred breach of his parole. Cor
bishley was sentenced to IA years
after the Zeigler case frame up.
With several others he was tried
for murder, because crowd Of Far
rington gangsters were shooting up
Zeigler local of the .M.U., and one
of them killed a progressive miner.
None of the gunner were tried, but
the state, operators and Harrington
combined to railroad through to
prison the militants in the local.
The case was SO rotten that an early
parole was thought desirable by the
oppressive forces in Illinois in order
to quiet the publicity. But now they
want Corbishley behind bars again.

I tramp from plant to plant with
thousands of others looking for a

of ex-soldiers are begging to be
sent away to homes and ask aid

didn't you save your money during

had to fight in it and Uncle Shy

should have done as the workers in

deterioration of business in August
and September is not merely sea-
sonal but the beginning Of transit
ton from boom to crisis. The most
important indications Of a down
ward trend (prior to the stock
exchange crash not yet covered by
this report) were the all-round de-
crease in the volume Of output in
August, the constant diminution of
the volume by orders received by
the steel trust, the smaller degree
of employment, recorded in August
for the first time since last Novem-
Der, and the repeated minor re-
lapses on the stock exchange.

of a boom, the bourgeoisie is I'M

Activity in the automobile industry,

volt factory employment, was also
lower in November than in either the

but was still above the level which
prevailed a year earlier. The move
