Facts Show HOOver-Green Lie
on prosperity"

The prosperity lies of Hoover, Green, the A.
r. L. and the capitalist press are being pune
tured by the cold facts published by the big
corporations after the drunken orgy of propa-
ganda of Hoover's conference
One of the biggest lies was the statement Of
the utilities on the millions of increases over
1929 they were going to spend in 1880. A
different story is contained in the announce
ment of the New York Edison Co. and as
ISOLATED light and power companies, in it,
vbudget Tor 1880.
There will be a cut of $9OO0,OO0 in expend-
lures for 1880, says the budget. The budget
covers both supplies and labor, and wages rep
resent a substantial portion of the total. This
is the definite proposal of wage cut by the
Edison Co. of New York.

PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE

today real fractions an organ for the Party
for work within a given mass organization.
Formerly the major part of the language work
consisted of strictly business matters of the
sick benefit societies and other fraternal organ
izations Today we know much better how
to draw the membership of these organizations
into the actual class struggle. The meetings
have far more political content.
Formerly questions of the cold country were
almost the main questions in many of the
language fractions. Today the fractions are
"Americanized, tho still not enough.
The fight against fascsm is taking on the
aspect of lining up the workers of these organ
izations against American capitalism and in
ternational fascism. We can gain new mem
bers through this fight
In our fight against the right wingism of
the Lovestoneites and other reformist agencies
of the expressing class, we can get new Party
members. Every campaign of the Party, every
phase of our Communist work gives opportunity
to achieve results.
The language press has an important role
in Party recruiting The drive is an important
political event and must be in the headlines,
the daily events connected with it, in news
items, editorials, special articles.
Great class struggles, like that now going
on IN Southern Illinois, must result in the or
ganizational Strengthening of our Party and
the language buros have their role in that
They must send organizers to the battle-fields,
to help organize the miners, lead them to vic
tory over the united forces of the coal barons
and the ewis-Fishwick gang and build the
Party, to more effectively help the miners to
achieve the 5-day week, 6-hour day and other
demands.
The list of the foreign language press sub
scribers must be given to the respective local
buros to get as many of them as possible to
join the Communist Party.

donate for the Party, or attend its meetings.

Utilize the mass meetings to get new men,

Workers Clash With Austrian
FascistS.

VIENNA by MaiD Severe collisions be-
tween workers and fascsts occurred in Vienna
Neustadt recently and continued during the
day and into the night. In the morning the
fascists organized a propaganda procession
through the streets under the protection of the
social democratic police. The workers collected
in great numbers and booed the fascists. At
various points fights occurred The police
made a number of arrests and crowds sof work
ers gathered outside the police station and
several attempts were made to storm it where
by further arrests were carried out. In the
afternoon further fighting occurred between
workers and Heinrwehr fascists whereby the
latter used pistols.
In Gree a collision also occurred between
workers and fascists. The social democratic
Republican Defense League has organized
meeting. Workers leaving the meeting were
provoked by fascists on the Ring Strasse and
the fascists were thrashed. M
The fascist parade in Leobin took place with
out any serious incidents, but later on gang
of fascists attacked social democratic shop
steward and wounded him severely with knife
thrusts

Their economic condition, coupled with their
enforced ignorance and backwardness, has de-
termined their low social status. Only the
Negroes are looked upon as having an inferior
position in modern southern society. Only a
few as yet see that in reality, all mill workers
and other laborers, both white and colored,
are now members of one class, that of wage
earners who are forced to work for the own
ers of industry, in order to make living; and
that since these owners exploit the workers
for their own personal gain, it is to the inter-
ests of wage-earners to unite in common
struggle against them for their rights. In
this respect the transfer from agricultural life
has meant real gain for Poor White and
Negro labor, for while scattered aror on the
farms it was hard for them to recognize their
common problems and to organize for common
aims, but when massed in mills and towns they
soon begin to realize the necessity and pos
sblties of united action.
Their present unenviable position is recog
nized both by other sections of the population
and by mill workers themselves. There is
stigma to being "mill hand" or mill bat"
or Stint head" and to living on mill chill"
Mill workers know that skilled workmen in the
city, tradesmen and professionals feel a great
social gulf between themselves and mill vii
layers, while the banking and owning class
treat them with open contempt. Only the small
farmers and other low-paid groups of wage
earners and organized labor will mingle and
work with mill hands as equals. And even
here the race line is usually drawn, Poor
Whites mixing only with Poor Whites and
Negroes only with Negroes.
Mill workers, for their part present their
general economic and social position and the

Fractions and Party Recruiting
BY LOUIS KOvESS.

The only possibility to make our membership
campaign a failure is, if we do not undertake
it properly The present drive opened amidst
highly favorable objective circumstances To
win over the majority of the working class.
on the basis of leading every struggle from
the minor conflicts to the highest forms of
mass political struggles with thorough under
standing and utilization of our "Class Against
Glass" slogan, this is our main political task
To strengthen the Party for this great task is
the aim of the recruiting drive.
The Little Things"
Speaking about the duties of the fractions
in connection with the membership drive, it is
necessary to call attention to the little things"
First of all, put the question of membership
drive on the order of business. The member
ship drive means a concentrated effort to gain
membership. But even after the drive,
leave this question on the order of business of
every fraction meeting.
Secondly, we never forget to put a neckte
on the right place but mostly forget to put
application cards into our pockets. Get appli-
cation cards.
Thirdly we must learn to look upon the
workers members of the unions, language,
fraternal organizations and other mass organ
izations within which we are doing fraction
work, as candidates to Communist Party men,
bershp. That is, we must constantly study the
actions of these workers. How they vote on
a miners relief proposaD what do they say
about motion on political prisoners, how
do they react on our attacks against the labor
bureaucrats etc. Select at the fraction meet
ing the best elements and assign a fraction
member to each of them
