Socialists Thank
Births h Bosses for
Killing Arab Masses

Abraham Cahan, social-fascist
editor Of the Jewish Daily Forward,
declared at the sixth annual conven-
tion Of the Jewish socialist" fed
Grafton, in Forward Hall, that the
socialist" party is becoming
"Americanized."
Cahan referred to the increase in
votes from the petty-bourgeois and
capitalist elements that Thomas re-
ceived in the last mayoralty cleo
tion, and the growing assassination
Of this third capitalist party with
appr' Il and an example of what
he meant by characterization"
Referring to "his majesty's labor
party" Cahan said that the imper-
ialist British '1abor" party was
socialism pure and simple"
When Macdonald visited the
United States in behalf of his i'm
perialist masters in their race for
ornaments, Cahan claims that the
visit of the yellow "labor" premier
aided the American socialist" party.
Cahan is particularly thankful to
MacDonald's suppression Of the re-
voting Arab masses. He could not
thank the British capitalists too

| CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. l.
Clarence Miller, Gastonia defendant
sentenced to twenty years, was re-
leased on bail Saturday after the
| International Labor defense posted
bonds of $4,000 for him. This leaves
only George Carter of the seven con-
victed, still in the Mecklinburg Coun-
ty Jail. Carter has frequently ex-
pressed the wish to be the last of
his comrades to be released until the
appeals come up January Is. He
will probably be bailed out within
couple of days.
Miller spoke tonight to the Leaks
vile strikers meeting. He compi-
mented the strikers on their heroic
struggle, on their stern mass pick
citing, which will win the strike for
them, and their refusal to be terri
fled by the attacks through courts
and by means of the organized lynch
ing gangs of the bosses.
The three Gastonia boys last re-
leased, Joseph Harrison, who was
bailed Friday; Miller and Carter,
will speak at number of mass meet
ings in the textile regions of Georgia
and the Carolinas, and will be at the
International Labor Defense south

Hoover's Crisis Group

Party Leads Struggle
5-Year Plan in S. u.
Victory Of Workers

WASHINGTON, Dec. ALI
plans are made for Hoover's fascist
economic council to meet in Wash.
ington on De-. 5, and attempt to
direct smashing blows against the
standard of living of the American
workers.
With the leadership of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the $50
cialist" party, and the so-called
left" labor elements united with
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in
planning to save capitalist economy
from the swamp of the severe con-
tradictions into which it has fallen.
the task of rallying the resistance
of the masses of workers to wage
cut drives and understanding cam
paigns becomes the main struggle of
the Communist Party, the Young
Communist League and the Trade
Union Unity League.
In this situation, with the capi-
talist democratic" machine being
ditched for a fast-developing form
of fascist dictatorship, the situation
offers the Communist Party splen-
did opportunities to become a mass
party.
The growing discomfort of the
working masses and their resistance
to the capitalist offensive, simultan-
eously with the open treacherous
acts of the Greens, Wolls, Mustes,
Hillquits, Fitzpatricks, Olanders,
Cannons and Lovestones, present
favorable opportunities for the or
ganization of the unorganized into
industrial unions and the general
building up of the Trade Union
Unity League.
Mass unemployment is now ad-
mitted by the capitalist press.

WALL ST. WANTS
MORROW IN WASH.
Pres. Wants His Help
in Capitalist Crisis

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. /.
Dwight W. Morrow, imperialist
ambassador to Mexico, now on his
way to the struggle for more naval
armaments, known as the London
Naval Conference, will be appointed
United States Senator from New
Jersey when he returns from his
duties in behalf of imperialist war
preparations.
Morrow's job in Mexico having
been completed satisfactorily to
Wall Street, he is being put into
service in the present crisis in the
capacity of United States senator.
Hoover is having difficulties with
the capitalist democratic" state be-
cause of the conflicting interests
of the rich farmers and industrial
and financial capitalists over the
question of tariff, etc.
The organization of the new fas-
cist economic council to take over
government functions viii create
fresh difficulties for Wall Street
and Hoover in Congress, and Nor
row is being drawn in as valuable
tool in the present depression.
Dwight Morrow's task in Mexico
was accomplished when he won over
the petty-burgeois Mexican ele-
ments to the unqualified support
of United States Imperialism.
Now that Gales and Rubio Ortiz,
the leaders of the Mexican ruling
class, are coming to the United
States for their instructions in
fighting the Mexican masses, Hoo
yer regards it as more necessary
at this time to have the Wall Street
Morgan banker at his side to come
to the aid of the new fascist de-
velopment which grows out Of the
deep-going nature of the present
crisis.
In appointing Morrow as senator
from New Jersey, Gov. Larson re-
veals the reason for this step. In
a letter published in the capitalist
press he says:
"The reasons which have led me
to secure Mr.. Morrow's consent to
accept appointment are clear. The
situation at Washington calls for
the best thought of our wisest men,
acting under the inspiring leader
ship of President Hoover. We are
having to assume large part in
problems affecting world develop
ment. We must shortly help to
carry through the practical details
of the general declarations Of the
Forthcoming London naval con-
ference. Business conditions have
recently received a shock. The ad-
ministration has already taken no
table measures to minimize the ef-
fects of this, calling for the most
intelligent cooperation by both
business men and legislators"

Negro Workers! Fight
Needle Trade Fakers,
Urges III. RosemOnd

"The International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union has conducted
a policy of boycotting the Negro
workers and discriminating against
them in the shops they control"
said Henry Rosewood, vice presi-
dent of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, today. "Now
that they feel that the Negroes are
becoming a factor in this industry"
he continued, "they intend to use
them as tools in the coming strike,
which will be simply strike against
the class-conscious workers organ
lied under the leadership of the
left wing movement, the only one
in America fighting for the full
social, economic and political equal
ity of the Negroes in the U. S. A.
"The Negro workers are aware of
this through bitter experience and
will answer with a real struggle
the appeal of this fake company
union, who are getting the support
of the petty-burgeois Negro asso-
Citations in this city. The fact re-
mains that the Negro workers are
becoming daily more conscious of
their class role and are fighting
against the Negro politicians and
capitalists with the same spirit as
they fight the white politician and
capitalist. They will, therefore, re-
fuse to join with any organization
controlled by these politicians and
takers, but will join the struggle
of the N. 7, w. !. U. against. race
conditions in the shons .

MARION, N. c., Dec. 1.-The

United Textile Workers Union organ
izer; Lawrence Hogan, Del Lewis
and Yves Fowler brought in a ver-
dict of guilty yesterday and Judge
Fowler sentenced Hoffman to pay

ECONOMIC SLUMP
FACES CONGRESS
Capitalists Rely More
on Fastest Council

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Con-
gress opens today, with the main
problems facing the capitalist gov
ernment being those growing out of
the ever-intensifying crisis.
President Hoover's message will
deal particularly with the growing
contradictions with which United
States imperialism is faced.
Further reductions of taxes to the
big capitalists are contemplated. Re-
newed fights on the tariff question
will come up.
The crisis in American capitalism
has already created crisis in the
governing political party of Amer
ican imperialism, the republican
party. The present struggle in the
senate around the tariff question
between the so-called "young guard"
and the loyal republican senator's,
closely manifest9 the fact that
American imperialism finds it diff
ficult to solve its developing con-
tradictions.
Amendments to the Federal Re-
serve Act, growing out of the crisis
in the credit situation, will be of
fered.
Because of the inability of capi-
talism to utilize their existing state
machinery rapidly enough in the
present crisis, Hoover will give the
fascist economic council more power.
He is openly advocating handing
over the main government functions
in the present depression to the 200
big capitalists organized by the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce.
