Tales for Children

Once upon time, long, long time ago, at
least as far back as last year, there was gink
by the name of Lovestone, who thought he
was Prince of Wales in the Communist Party
of the U. S. A. So he fell off horse and has
been picking himself up ever since, but with
out notable success.
He now comes up with the claim that it's
his crisis because he saw it first. Rather oddly
admitting that there is crisis, by the way.
Way back in February, 1928, he says, 81 said
that-Tt cannot yet be said at this time that
facing an immediate deepgoing crisis.
But the continuous development of the contra
dictions within American capitalism Is pro-
ceeding at such pace that the coming of the
deepgoing crisis is unavoidable in the near
future"
Now that was OK, wasn't it? Yes, it
wasn't because the poor fellow kept on say
ing exactly the same thing-always moving
up that unavoidable near future" untsH. the
Communist International got out new calen-
dar on him, where his always approaching
"near future" was found somewhere in the
past. Anyhow, great be the rejoicing that he
at last has found a crisis.
But what does he propose to do about it
Change the trade union line? Never! Neither
in 1928 or 1880, neither when the crisis was
merely Unavoidable nor when it is here,
However, there is something he proposes.
The whole phone-booth full of Lovestoneites
is determined to "Vote Communist" But with
the specific qualification that they do SO in
spite of dsagreeing with the analysis, pers-
pectives, principles, strategy and tactics of
the Communist Party. Otherwise, we're all
o. X.
On the same basis, the majority Group"
proposes a united front to beat back "the
attacks of reaction" We are assured that all
the masses concealed under Gitlows vest are
just thrsting for the blood of reaction, but
are painfully prevented by lack of united
front.
This is downright sad But still there is
hope. If Bert Wolfe is suffering from wage
cuts, what is TO prevent him from organ
izing with the other "proletarians" of his
factory and striking under the leadership of the
Trade Union Unity League? Nothing at all.
What is that? There aren't workers enough
in the whole majority" to make-u a quorum e?
Tell us, then, how that "broad united front" is
to be organized. Oh, you want us to turn over
the workers. And to "Jont Committee" in
which you're the Joint" and also the "com-
mittee" Thanks for the buggy ride, we're for
the united front from below!

Fourth Congress of the Communist Interna-

Music Helps Treachery of Green.

Hoover bluffed the workers into the vain be-
lief that not only the employers who attended
the November conferences would uphold
wages, but that this would be the general
policy of the capitalists of this country. Almost
before the ink was dry on the statement issued
in November, the wage cutting campaign began
and embraced every industry, but particularly
the unorganzed and sick industrt5-coa tex
tile, steel, auto, rubber, chemicals, etc. Up to
date, some hundreds of wage cuts have been
maue-and yet only recently William Green
praised Hoover for having upheld wages!"
This shows not only the insolence but the
black treachery of the leadership of the Amer

wages on all Sides Already it is announced
in the steel industry, the coal mining "fact
finding committee" will cut wages, textile
and auto will cut. The bosses are relying on
the full cooperation of the fascist A. F. of l..
leadership, they will depend not less on the
socialist" party, which may mouth phrases of
''mlitancy' but betrays the workers never
theless.
Why do the Socialists" use militant Ian

are getting into fighting mood; they
are being forced to live far below the sub
sistance level and whole families have to go
to work. In Colorado it is reported that fam
lilies of six and seven working in the beet
fields have a total income of $500 a year.
the workers-with the unorganized, un-
skilled and semi-skilled workers leading be-
cause they are being attacked first--are be-
ginning to fight. Auto workers, textile work
ers, agricultural workers-are organizing and
fighting, organizing into the revolutionary
unions Of the Trade Union Unity League, they
are beginning to strike against wage cuts.
Under Communist leadership, they are going
into the fight against this vicious attack of
the bosses.
No Accident
1t is accident the wage cuts play no
part in the socialist" platform. The workers
must understand this, as they must understand
the strikebreaking unemployment insurance
scheme of the Socialist party. They must
understand that the fight of the working class
is against the capitalist class, their govern
nienC and their tools among the workers-the
fascist A. F. of L. leadership and the social
fascist socialist" party.
The Communist Party in its program of
the everyday struggle and in the election
campaign calls on the workers to organize
and strike against wage cuts. This is one of
the primary demands and needs in the pre-
sent situation. The Communist Party thus
proves to be the only real party of the work.

Sweet Land of Frame Up
By JORGE

We may be wrong but we think that the
story we are about to relate could happen only
in these United States Anyhow, here 1t is:
The New York Police Department, COM
manded by the paragon of patrolmen, Mr..
Mulrooney, who knows how to handle the Civil
Liberties Union in way to make them agree
that he's the Cats Meow has what is known
as the Bomb Squad"
AS everybody knows, Bomb Squad" is to
find bombs. If some bombs aren't found now
and then, what the hell is Bomb SQUAD
for?
Ergo, Detective Eugene Canevari of the
"Bomb Squad" bethought himself of the ne
cessity of finding bomb. But nary bomb
could be found. Not to be thwarted by such
trifes, he kept on detecting and finally made
friends with title setter by the name of
Prosperino Rozzano, IS, of 6805, 14th Ave-,
Brooklyn
To Rozzano, the ferret of the law confined
the information that he was just pining away
for bomb, was going down to an early grave
if he didn't get bomb, and added that for
bomb he would. pay 500 cash, coin of the
realm.
1t appears that tile setting is bit slack,
and Rozzano, touched by the appeal of Null
rooney's man-hunter, assured Canevari that
he, Rozzano, would not let such friend go
bombless into the Great Unknown. He himself
would make Canevari bomb.
And he did. But when he delivered the bomb,
and got the 500 in his jeans, Canevari up and
arrested him, and appeared before Magistrate
jeanette Brill charging Rozzano with bomb
making.
And Mulrooney, valiant defender of the law,
promoted Canevari at once. Why not? The
Bomb Squad had actually found bomb!
But, curses! In the presence of the court,
Rozzano took the bomb he was arrested for
making, and tore the thing to pieces. And it
was shown to the magistrate, who knows a
bomb from bride, that all it was made of was
some tiles, tin cans, papers, a rubber tube
and some tape; the only explosive added be-
ing some rather bad-smelling old socks.
And what happened? Well tell you
Canevari re-arrested Rozzano for accepting
money for false pretenses" and Rozzano is
yet lying in durance vile in this city of New
York, United States of Graft and Corruption.
That's all!

trolled by Socialists wage cutting is proceed
ing. One hundred twenty five thousand wool
workers had their wages cut, with the gov
eminent and trade union officials doing every
thing TO put it through, despite the resistance
of the workers In France, the adoption of the
socialist insurance law, which required three
per cent compulsory contribution by the work
ers meant reduction of per cent in wages,
The workers demanded an increase in wages
but the socialist trade unionists sabotaged
and scld out the strike that took place
Wages Cut in the Anthracite.
The excuse of the capitalists of the United
States is twofold: There must a wage
adjustment in union shops and factories SO
that they can compete with nonunion shops
and secondly there must be general wage
'rev.son"-that is wage cut-so that the
United States may compete on the world mar
ket. The capitalists are using the excuse the
world over in order to saddle the workers with
the effects OF the economic crisis and keep
up their own profits.
William Green no longer can lie about wage
cuts. His conservative lieutenants are having
no easy time explaining how Hoover kept
wages high" and how wage cuts mean wages
"up." The workers are dscontened The or
gained workers know that their wages are the
next to go down. John L. Lewis, the coal min
ing traitor, forced the anthracite miners to
agree to "factfinding committee" which will
take up establishments of wages--that is, will
put over wage cuts. The building trades work
in nest cases are not getting the official
wage scale, but are glad to get jobs at $5-6
a day. A Wall Street paper can say quite
correctly that whether tie trade u1,ion leaders
admit it or not, wage cuts have been going
on quietly fo- some time.
Socialist Platform Silent for Good
Reason.
There is good reason, therefore, why the
socialist" platform can talk much and loud
ly about booze and graft but can "forget"
the vicious wage cutting campaign, which as
yet is not yet in full swing. The employers
will take full advantage Of the fearful ur-
employment this fall and winter to SLASH
