SCOTT IN SEATTLE HAS
5 MONTHS PLAN READY

L. Scott, district Daily Worker representative
in Seattle proposes to obtain 1900 Daily circu-
lation in Seattle Scott says:
Here we have succeeded in increasing our
daily bundle from $50 to $780,"
This figure has since been boosted by wire
from Scott which increased the order from
$50 to 500.

getting rs weekly subscribers, rs per cent out
of 100 in district subscribed. We are here
inaugurating plan for five months 1900 daily
circulation in Seattle.
The Seattle district quota is 500 by December,
1000 by January. Seattle activity indicates she
will make it. Here is what Scott says:
three months ago we had one boy on the
street selling the Daily Worker and now we
have five and each of the boys selling per
day: Boy 1, rs copies; Boy 2, As copies; Boy

opened rival headquarters for their
drive against the Marine Workers n
dustrial Union.
Those, who have already withdrawn
their signatures, or who have express
sed their intentions to do so, are
comrades as M. Soderstrom, Joe
Kass, Joseph Murphy, John Starko-
vich, Ernest Lobart and Henry Will
hams. A few others can be expected
to follow their example.
John S. Morgan, Joe Golden and
John Anderson, the degenerate and
personally disgruntled individuals,
who played the role of willing tools
in the hands of Cannon g. Co., and
who walked out from a hearing ar
ranged by the Central Control Com
mission of the Communist Party,
shouting defiance Gin violent langu-
age) to the Commission and to the
Party, have been summarily expelled
from same and branded as enemies
of the working class by the Central
Control Commission.
1t is to be noted that Morgan was
called before the Central Control
Commission before, and that he was
disciplined for unconstrained drink
ing and for irresponsibility, which
recently went so far as spending for
drink money collected for the sup
port of a strike.
These explosions, however, are on
ly side incidents in the fight against
the SplitterS. The real fight, the
smashing condensation to their in
sidious attempts must be made in
the Marine Workers Industrial Union.
1t must be made by thorough ex-
posure of their counter revolution-
airy line and purposes, by modifying
the marine workers, in and outside
Of the Union, to fight against the
splitters. 1t must be made, mainly,
by putting forward every means and
every effort to build the union and
to draw into it ever broader masses
of the workers in the marine indus
try.
Searching self-criticism as to past
mistakes, correction of mechanical
methods of procedure, mobilization of
all the forces of the union, ideolo-
gically and organizationally, for the
initiation and conduct of mass
struggles against wage cuts, against
speed-up, against worsening of con-
ditions, and against unemployment,
these are the best and surest
means toward a complete smashing

Smash the Attempt to Split
Marine Workers Ind. Union!
(An other Party papers must reprint.)

(Au other Party papers must reprint.)
Under a disguise of charges and
criticism, artfully weaved for the pur-
pose of misleading good, well-mean-
ing workers, the renegade Trotzkyist
group Of Cannon & Co., with the aid
Of certain degenerate and personally
disgruntled elements, have started an
undetermined attempt to split the re-

Their nefarious document which
was published in the renegade mil

presented to the Communist fraction
on october 22nd, with the signatures
Of John S. Morgan, Joe Golden and
John Anderson, as self-styled Rank

week later, on october Goth, it was
distributed in the membership meet

Union, having been simultaneously
sent broadcast to other locals as WE'LL
and bearing Is more names, besides
those of Morgan, Golden and Ander-
son Henry Williams appearing as a
further addition on the published
document)
These dates prove conclusively that
the purpose of the document was not
to bring forward the charges and
criticism for investigation and cor
rection, but only as a misleading
cover for their real purpose to spree
Generalization in the ranks of the
Union.
That it was not a question of hon
est charges and criticism is further
proved by the fact that the docu-
ment starts out with a statement of
aims and tactics, in which, under the
mask of revolutionary phrases, an
opportunist line as to methods and
detectives of the work in the old re-
dictionary unions is set up as against
the correct line and policies of the

TO EXECUTE Is
IN INDO-CHINA
Cannot Stop Tide of
Revolution

PARIS.-Reports from Hanoi, IN
do-China, state that all preparations
have been made to execute a num-
Der of Indo- Chinese revolutionaries.
The names of the 10 victims, sem
fenced to be executed are as follows:
-Nghiep, Nguyen-C hichu,
Nguyen-Trong Bang, Nguyen-Ba-
Tam, Ng-v-Peim, May-Duy-Yuong,
Ng = Quang, Trieu, Nguyen-M Mimi
Puon, Pham-van-Khue, Nguyen-van
Nho, Luong-Ngoc-Ton, Phan-van-
Tin. These have been convicted Of
conspiracy" and three of them will
be now executed. All Of them re-
fused to apply for mercy.
The fate of those sentenced to de-
portation and to forced labor is such
that death seems even a mercy,
They are tortured with the most re-
fined methods by the prison guards.
If they rebel against their tortures
they are shot and hanged. Under
preposterous pretenses, for instance,
under the charge, that the prisoners
wanted to poison their guards, "re-
prisals" are made against the un-
fortunate prisoners.
But neither the II heads, rolling
in the sands of Yen-Bay, neither the
bombing of defenseless villages, the
reprisals against helpless prisoners
will ever succeed in eXtinguishing the
flaming hatred and the will to iber-
ty of the oppressed peoples of Indo-
China. Therefore the bloody French
Imperiaists are preparing a new
massacre at Phu-Tho. The twelve
might have been executed by now,
ten are still waiting-they are watt
ing for the protest of the world
proletariat! Only the mighty force
of the working class can snatch these
victims from the hands of their hang
men!

HOOVER'S LYING
PEACE PHRASES
Demand War Funds
Go to Unemployed

Continued from Page One)
TO uso to drive the American workers
to war against other imperialist pow
ers, or against the Soviet Union.
In opening his speech today,
Hoover slandered the millions of
workers throughout the world who
we're butchered at the behest of the
imperialists in the last World War.
Referring to the American soldiers
who died fighting for the profits of
the "59" Millionaire rulers of the US,
the imperialist president said that
they gave their lives ain defense of
the liberties and ideals of our coun-
try"
The CELEBRITIES and ideals" of cap
italism is to force 100000 unem-
ployed to starve to death, and to
direct smashing attack against the
standards of living of the entire
American working-class, while bill
Hons are spent for new war to get
markets for the imperialists in the
present world crisis.
Hoover's arnistice speech is in line
with his speeches about prosperity
returning Immediately. 1t is full of
lies, boss propaganda to hide the
facts from the workers. 1t is an at
tempt to use the usual capitalist
peace screen to hide the fact that
the capitalist world is armed for war
TO far greater extent than it was
Just before the outbreak of the last
World War, and that with the grow
ing world crisis Imperialism is nearer
a war than ever before in its entire
history
At the same time, Hoover covers
UP the rapid war preparations against
the Soviet Union which was exposed
on the very day that Hoover made his
speech. U. S. imperialism is one of
the leading forces in preparing war
against the workers republic.
Against Hoover's lying, hypocritical
speech the workers must demand
that all war funds go to the unem-
ployed, in the form of unemployment
insurance. Defend the Soviet Union!

tionsl Expose the lying peace talk
