IL months unspeakable torture on

1t happened this way: Gregory's

that he lid not have to pay her
anything, although he offered what
he could spare from his meagre
earnings. He has lived in Char

then took short trip hunting work
into Pennsylvania, then returned in
June to Gastonia; hardly acting like
a fugitive from justice.
But then in Gastonia he saw
something of the murderers of the

by City Solicitor Carpenter, he tes-
titled against them.

paign to whitewash Cuban fascism,

organizations controlled by class
traitors as we'll as other organiza-
lions that exist only on paper.
These traitorous outfits have made
declarations as Machado desired
that everyone is satisfied with
Machado, etc.
To protest against this was the
"crime" of Santiago Estaban Brooks.
This new assassination by Machado
has the same character as those
carried out before, as in case of
Julio Mella, but with this added
element, cynically shameless, of an
resting the executive of the labor
organization to which Brooks be-
longed, thus obstructing the indigna-
ton and protest at the crime, and
trying at the same time to color
public opinion with the intimation
that this union executive is the body
responsible for the assassination.
Now that Machado has adjusted
the differences with American i'm
perialism which gave rise to the
Senate resolution, around which diff
ferences bourgeois rivals to Machado
were building hopes to replace his
dictatorship with their own under
the same imperialist masters, new
wave of terror against the workers
is signalized by this murder of San
tiago Brooks. But the part of the
A. F. of L. in this murder is the
outstanding proof that fascism in

BRITISH AIMED
AT COMMUNISTS
IN PALESTINE
Secret List Backfires
at Social-F ascists

LONDON, Nov. 25.-That the
British "labor" government not only
knew full well th-t the recent and
continuing rebellion in Palestine was
not religious affair, but also was
secretly aiming at melting the reli-
gious extremes in order to use sup
preston of religious clashes" as a
cover for suppression of the Com
munist Party, and the Arab peasant
ry, robbed of their land by the Zion
lists, is shown in the arrest of po-
lice corporal in Jerusalem.
Police Corporal Marlik is accused
of having revealed a secret blacklist
of the government, a list Of people it
regarded as dangerous to it-not to
the masses of Palestine - who,
upon the outbreak of any sort of
trouble" should be put out of the
way by Imprisonment or execution.
Known leaders of the Communist
Party made up most of the list, but
the name of the Arab Moslem multi
of Jerusalem was also included.
A correspondent of the social-fas-
cist Jewish paper in New York, the
Forward" while on drunken spree
with Corporal Karlik, is said to have
gotten the list and photoed it, the
New York Forward" publishing it
with the provocative Interpretation
that, because the British had Com
munists on a blacklist, that therefore
the Communists were those who in
cited "pogroms" against Jews, when
as a matter of fact the Communist
Party was CALI. g on both Jewish and
Arab workers and peasants not to
kill each other, but to drive out the
British imperialists and their serv-
ants, the Jewish capitalists and Arab
landlords.

unemployment, and the attacks upon

The action of the ALL. in the
textile industry and the action of
the ALL. in agreement with the
capitalists and their government to
prevent any struggle for wage in
creases clearly indicates it's part in
opposition to stem the tide of the
growing revolt and prevent the or
ganization Of the workers into in
dustrial unions. The treacherous
role of the reformists and growing
rehabilitation of the textile workers
makes it essential to prepare a mass
convention in order to definitely
launch these growing numbers of
workers into the class struggle.
"This postponement has been
made necessary by the strike situa-
ton in the South, in the Anthracite,
and prospect of an immediate gen.
eral strike in Paterson. These con-
ditions compel US to organize our

wider mobilization of our entire

"We call upon all mill locals of

American capitalism as result of
the rupture in production.
William Butterworth, president,
and Julius H. Barnes, chairman of
the board of directors of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, have
assumed important governmental
functions in the present crisis.
These two leading capitalists are
organizing 200 of the foremost i'm
perialists in the country to act in
behalf of Hoover and the United
States government. They will I'M

their tasks to flood the world mar
ket with American commodities in
order to attempt relief from CAPT.
talist overproduction, thereby in
creasing imperialist world antagon-
ism, and sharpening the war dam
ger.
In a letter to the executives of
the biggest scab corporations in the
country, Barnes and Butterworth,
with the authorization of Hoover,
point out to the leading enemies of
labor, that business is openly TAX
ing over the function of the gov
eminent in the present economic
smash. The letter issued by them
today says, in part:
"This conference will be opened
by President Hoover and is the out
growth of a conviction on his part
that American business is so organ
lied as to be fully capable of mob
ilizing its forces in cooperation with

at is gratifying that from such
high authority should come this
high recognition of the efficiency
and trustworthiness of business or
CARNATIONS in this country, and
there is now a responsibility upon
us to discharge this trust with sober
devotion and practical efficiency"
The chaos in production is so
widespread, and unemployment in
creasing so rapidly, that Hoover
has authorized the Chamber of
Commerce, as first step to col
lect detailed information on the sub
jest.
The capitalists being organized
are called upon gin preparation for
practical steps based on accurate
information we would like to have
an analysis of the strong and weak
spots in your own field, both as to
the present situation and the next

While DePriest was telling the
audience that social equality is not
necessary, and that he doesn't de-
sire it, the workers, white and Negro
were alike being thrown into unem-
ployment. More than 1000 Negro
workers have been turned out of the
steel plants along with thousands
of white workers during the past
three weeks. Among these plants
are Ford, Bonner Steel, Bethlehem,
and Lackawanna Steel. The rail-
roads have reduced their forces in
the yards, and the chemical plants
in Niagara Falls have turned thous-
ands away during the past week.
Thousands have been let out in
Detroit and vicinity, and Hankin,

dlers will not have much to sell to

U. S. Chemical Trusts
Fight for Control of
World NJ ark e t S

Increased competition of the
United States chemical industry
with it's European imperialist rivals
was stressed by w. A. Dyes, Berlin
correspondent of Industrial En-
gineering Chemistry" the journal of
the American Chemical Society.
"The American chemical industry"
said Dyes, Commanding large funds
for research, protected by high
duties, and last year having to face
imports from the German chemical
industry valued at only $2S,500, 900,
is considered in Europe with certain
apprehension, provided the intended
increase of American chemical ex-
ports to European countries should
materialize."
The growing crisis will push the
expectation of American chemicals
in European markets, far beyond
the expectation of Mr.. Dyes, with the
resulting sharpening of antagonisms
between the European and American
imperialist powers.

FIGHT CHARITY"
R0bBINC TOILERS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 25.-
Militant workers of Cleveland are
becoming more and more Disguised
with their victimization by the boss
es here, in which they are forced
to contribute to the Community
Fund, a pet charity" scheme of the
bosses used as an attempt to pull
the wool over the workers eyes.
AS part of the bosses elaborate
campaign for the Community Fund,
workers in most of the big open
shops and in organized shops are
being forced to hand over part of
their wages to the fund. But resist
ance to this robbery is increasing.
Especially is the Communist Party
and the Trade Union Unity League
fighting this robbery of the already
bitterly exploited Cleveland workers.
Even in A. F. of L. unions, the
rank and file is demanding a fight
on the fun. The last meeting of the
Molders Union Local 127, affiliated
with the A. F. of L., motion was
passed that. the members refuse to
donate to the Community Fund.
A typical example of how the
bosses are bludgeoning the workers
into supporting their charity"
scheme which is used against the
workers, is shown by the action of
the Cleveland Cooperative Stove Co.
in first making the workers donate
part of their wages for the fund, and
then announcing a wage cut. Nit
chell, manager of the company, de-
manded contribution of not less
than SIS from each worker.

''But if they lay him off for
