The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-07-26
By REBECCA GRECHT.

The Communist Party enters the
New York city and state elections
in a period of increasing war dan
ger and open imperialist attack upon
the Soviet Union, in a period of
sharpening class struggles. In New
York, the process of introducing cap
italist efficiency (rationalization),
with it's destructive speed-up sys-
tenn, its wage-cutting campaigns, its
general worsening of conditions, has
been progressing rapidly. The open
alliance between the government
and capitalist parties and their So
cialist allies, labor bureaucrats and
manufacturing and banking inter
ests, has been strengthened in order
to further the war aims Of Ameri-
can Imperialism and tighten the
bonds Of exploitation upon the
workers. AS a result, a decided
spirit of battle is being reused in
ever larger sections of the work.
ing masses in New York, which has
called forth from the strike break
ing Walker government the most
brutal attacks upon their efforts to
organize their new militant unions,
their strikes and picket lines.
Against Imperialist War.
The election campaign this year
must become an intensive drive to
mobilize the workers against i'm
perialist war, and for defense Of
the Soviet Union. Through it must
be organized the broadcast campaign
to expose the role of social reform
ists-the American Federation Of
Labor bureaucrats and the Socialist
Party. 1t must develop a widespread
movement to rally the workers for
militant resistance to the sharping
attacks of the government and en-
ployers, for organization of the un.
organized and the building Of revo-
lutionary trade union center, for a
determined, energetic battle against
the brutal police terror rampant in
New York and elsewhere.
In the recent strikes that have
taken place in New York, in the
strikes of the shoe workers, the
cafeteria workers, the iron and
bronze workers, the needle workers,
it has been clearly shown that the
only Party which fights for the
workers is the Communist Party of
America. Especially in the present
war situation has it become clear
that only the Communist Party
fights against imperialist war,
against pacifist illusions. The So
cialist Party in its complete aban-
donment of the class struggle has
become the champion of the union
breaking policies of the labor bu-
reaucrats, and today also stands ex-

coward.
The towards were rather the men,
bers of the board Of pardons of
Utah. Two hours before Joe Hill
was shot, a telegram, giving an af-
fidavit made in Seattle by VIM.
Busky, migratory laborer, stating
that he was with Hill on the night
Morrison was shot, and providing
an alibi,. had caused the members Of
the board of pardons to assemble,
Of their own accord. They began to
wonder if it was best to go ahead
with the execution. The whole world
was crying out against the mani
testify unjust verdict and unfair
trial at which Hill was framed. The
Swedish ambassador (Joseph Hill
strom was Swedish subject, though
long in America) had protested.
Under pressure President Wilson
had wired Governor Spry of Utah
asking a respite. Labor everywhere
had at last awakened to what was
going on in the Mormon capital:
The saints" Get Busy.
But the forces crystallized in the
Utah Construction Co. and the Utah
Copper Co. (alias the Mormon
church,, had dictated through Gov.
Spry contemptuous refusal to
Wilson. 1t said in almost so many
words that Wilson might be wor-
ried about the effect on U. s. world
politics of this execution, but the
employers of Utah had had enough
of these agitators, and had this one
where they wanted him.
And these dark and bloody forces
dealt with the impromptu meeting
of the pardons board. AS its white
faced spokesman said to the re-
porters, "They have decided not to
interfere with the execution"
They had had it pretty. easy
framing Joe Hill, and there is big
lesson to labor in this case.
Nobody in the world at large paid
any attention to the shooting of the
grocer Morrison in Salt Lake City
Two masked men had entered his
store, where he sat with a revolver
laid in an open ice box, counting
sales slips at 10 p. M, and with his

two sons watching him. He was a
quarrelsome man, and he had his
enemies. The taller masked man
said, "We've got you now" and both
opened fire. Morrison and his elder
son were killed.
Joe Hill himself stated the case
this way, while his lawyers were
appealing:
lowing to the prominence of Mr..
Morrison, there had to be goat.
And the undersigned, being, as they
thought, a friendless tramp, a
Swede, and worst of all, an I.W.W.,
had no right to live anyway and
was therefore selected to be the
goat"
But Joe Hill was a little modest.
He was more than a friendless
tramp, he was the rebel songbird
His jeering verse had girdled the
world, and it is immortal as long
as capitalism lasts. 1t has burst

ism, and the rollicking tunes and

Colorado, in which mine gunner and
miners "shot it out" in the night.
And Hill was rebel and fighter.
The employers had plenty of rea-
sons to get him; they couldn't pin
any Of these fights on him, so they
used the shooting of Morrison.
Joe Hill had practically no coun-
sci at his trial, in June, 1914. He
had no defense fund to speak Of, and.
worst CT all, no adequate publicity.
The I. w. w. press was weak, with
small circulation; the organization
was in one Of it's periodic slumps.
The great war was looming. There
was war a-plenty in every mining
region. The massacre at Ludlow
took place at exactly that time. The
trial was not even reported in the
Appeal to Reason, in the Masses, or
in most of the liberal bourgeois
papers. The International Socialist
Review carried one stingy little let

The younger son Of Morrison,
even under the most outrageous
prompting, couldn't identify Joe Hill
as one of the assassins. But Phoebe
Seeley, dragged up from somewhere
by the prosecution, said she saw
two men near the grocery store,
and one of them 'looked about the
size Of the defendant"

NEW CURRENCY ID
 MAKE CROOK WORK
Bill RaiSeTS Will Find Task
 Harder With Designs

Washington, July 19 tP) - Tn making more difficult the task ot converting one dollar bill into T ten, or a two dollar note into q twenty, the new small currency has brought an educational problem to the secret service.
 Much of the past work Of the secret service in dealing with spurious currency has been caused by note raising operations, al- though there have been sporadic appearances Of counterfeit bills.
 Makes Job Harder
 W. H. Moran, chief of the secret service. believes the new currency will place new and greater handi- caps in the way of the note raisers because of the dcnominational de- signs that have been adopted.
 "One thing that I am glad 10 see with reference to his small cur rency,' he told members of con- gress, lis the restriction in the number of designs. We have had a great deal of trouble about that. Take, for instance. the raising of pills, with the employment of the same portrait on different donomi- nations of currency.
 'Washington's portrait. LincoIn's portrait and all those portraits that have been commonly used have been employed on bills of different denominations, and that lends it. self to the note raiser's operations.
 Restricts Crooks
 "The restriction of designs will simplify that and will embarrass the note raisers and counterfeiters as well, in other words ii will be difficult 10 raise one dollar bill because you will know that Wash ington's portrait is only on the one dollar bill.
 As you can see, all these mat ters become an educational prob lem. We can go to the people and say, You must not take bill with Washipgtons portrait on it for more than one dollar"
 Moran has favored the adoption Of denominational designs as check to note raising operations for number Of years.
 The new currency bears the fol- lowing photographs: One dollar. Washington; two Jefferson; five. Lincoln; ten, Hamilton; twenty. Jackson; fifty. Grant; one hundred. Franklin: five hundred. McKinIcy; one thousand. Cleveland; five thou sand, Madison; tcn thousand. Chase.
