NEW YORK, October 1.-THE curb
exchange was weak but active today.
Public utilities, petroleums and trading
corporations were the worst sufferers in
early selling. Their declines, however,
were more moderate than in recent
sessions.
NSome of the larger initial transactions
included Electric Bond e. Share in a
lot of 1000 shares at 56lA, off 8; 1900
shares OF Cities Service at IS, unchanged,
and $500 shares of American Super
power at II, up q.
Big blocks, however, virtually disap-
peared from the tape after the first Is
minutes, being replaced by 100 or 200
share lots. Commission brokers reported
an unusually large amount of odd lot
business, both on the selling and buying
side.
Creole Petroleum, subsidiary of Stand
ard OIL Co. of New jersey was slightly
higher following the announcement of
an offering of rights. proceeds from
which would be used to develop Vene-
Suelan concessions. Stockholders of
record November 81 have the right to
buy one new share for each six shares
held on that date for $4.25 a share,
which would make rights worth about
10 cents each at current market levels
September copper statistics, showing
further gains in surplus stocks, though
not as large as some quarters had eSti-
mated, brought fresh selling into the
red metal shares Noranda Mines
Newmont Mining and New Jersey Zinc
exhibited heavinesS.
Dubilier Condenser, one of the few
radio stocks that came out, gained
fractionally following its estimate that
october sales would reach $3.50, 900, or
about the same as October 1929.
One of the notable features of trading
was the leSsened selling of international
securities and consequently some i'm
provement in their price tone. Drying
UP of London selling, temporarily at
least, was said to be the cause for slight
betterment in Brazilian Traction g.

By BILL GEBERT.

IN the last few days before the November 4th
elections Bill Thompson, the republican mayor
Of Chicago issued leaflet to the Negroes In
Chicago quoting ex-senator Medil Mccormick
who said that race riots in 1929 were "a matter
of Justification" Mayor Thompson places the
responsibility for the riots on the Chicago Trib-
une and the Mccormick family and called on tho
Negroes to vote for the Democratic candidate Tor
Eenate-Hamilton Lewis.
In answer to the leaflet Of Mayor Thompson
the republican party issued 16 page pamphlet
In which 1t charged that 1t is nobody else but
the democrats who are responsible for the race
riots and quoted speeches delivered by Hamilton
Lewis during the time of the race riots in Chi
cago in which he states Before God-this is a
white mans government" 1t also prints quota
ton from the Chicago Tribune of october goth,
1880, from another speech of the same gentle
man" Lewis when he said $50 long as have

from lording 1t over Christian white men +. . :"
According to the pamphlet Mr.. Lewis is not
the only one, but Michael Igoe, democratic floor
leader in the Illinois House Of Representatives
in speaking on March 10Th, 1929, declared, 1T
you folks want to keep the south side white you
go out and vote on Election Day."
In other words both republican and democratic
parties charge each other with responsibility for
the race riots of 1929 when % Negro workers
and l6 whites were killed and many hundreds of
Negro and white workers were injured.
Both the republican and democratic parties are
speaking the truth. Both are responsible for the
race riots This was not only true in 1919 but
1t is still true today. The very same Mr. Thomp-
son who is posing as friend of the Negro to-
day terrorized Negro workers on the South Side
through his police, attacked mass meetings Of
Negro workers, arresting Negro workers and

Tammany's Army

By JORGE


Not small assistance in Tammany's victory
In the election is the host of salary hounds
living directly indirectly from the city budget.
The New York City government has more Of
ficials and employees on pay than there are men
in the U. S. Army. Added to this, figure OF
1886 in 1929, there are tens Of thousands more
living off city money through working on city
contracts.
AL these, and their aunts, uncles and brothers.
tn-law, are rather interested in keeping up the
good work Of treasury looting, hence tend to
vote Tammany. Since 1921, the salary has just
trtpled and the number of those holding city
Jobs doubled. Tanlmany has the same slogan as
Iago, one OF shakespeare's lains:-'Put money
In thy purse!"
Just recently, however, Tammany was almost
wrecked on the rocks of finance. The city put
out bond issue of $75,00oooo In fifty-year bonds
bearing four per cent interest. But it found
no takers
Finally the Chase National Bank took It., but
forced the city to reduce the total to $5o,o0ooo0
And a big banking journal. the Financial Chron-
icle, says that the Chase Bank deserves great
credit because with the whole financial world
already upset, failure Of the worlds greatest
city to market its bonds might well bring about
situation approaching disaster"
Naturally the situation Is only temporarily re.
Heved and soon or late New York and a lot of
other inflated city governments are due to
stumble on financial crisis Of extremely seri-
GUS nature. We hope that Communists will be
watching such developments and take steps in
all localities to raise issues appropriate to the
interests of the masses.

Har! Har! Chihuahua

They're Mexican cops. But cops are cops and

1t seems that in the city of Chihuahua (pro-
nounced "She-wah-wah'D which is capital Of
the state OF that name in Dwight Morrows
colony called Mexico, the cops went on strike be-
cause they didn't get their salary. Which is
tough, but merely causes us hilarious laughter.
Naturally, being on strike, they refused to
obey orders of what passes for Mulrooney or
an Alcock in Chihuahua, and instead marched
around to where the governor hangs out to
tell him their troubles
The governor, after the fashion of Jimmy
Walker with Unemployed Delegations, accused
these cops of indiscipline and called out troops.
The troops promptly rounded up every COD
and locked them up in their own penitentiary
where they remain, and, as the paper saws,
with the governors parting shot that they should
take their time in deciding what to do next"

Murderers OF the Negro Masses
Expose Themselves

against the Negro masses is constantly being
carried on.
The Communist Party in Chicago modified
Negro and white workers in the struggle against
terror, discrimination and segregation of the Ne
gro masses and fights for social and political
equality for the Negro masses and popuIarizes
the slogan for self-determination Of the Negro
masses in the South where they are in the ma

In preparation for the Anti-Lynching Congress
In ST. Louis on November Is and 16, anti-lynch-
ing conferences are being held. From the Chi
cago conference on November 2, delegation will
be sent to st. Louis.
In carrying the struggle for the rights of the
Negro masses, in organizing them into the Com
munist Party, the Trade Union Unity League
and the American Negro Labor Congress, the
Communist Party at the same time clearly rec
ognizes that without carrying on struggle and
campaign against white chauvinism in the ranks
OF the Party and the working class this campaign
OF organizing the Negro workers cannot be sue
cessful.
White chauvinism in many forms prevails as
yet IN some sections Of our Party and definite

to carry on an enlightenment campaign and ex-
plain the role Of the Party to unity Negro and
white workers in struggle against the ruling class
and its henchmen and fakers among the white
workers and the tools of the white ruling class
among the Negro masses. An example of this is
Congressman Oscar De Priest, who is doing his
part in attempting to divide Negro and white
workers by raising the slogan of Drive out the
Foreign Born Workers"
These are the methods the capitalist class is

Now the workers organized under the ban
ners of the International Red Aid fully realize
that the workers in the United States, suffering
under the most widespread depression in the
whole history of the nation, are fighting against
a growing oppression. In this international
mobilization, workers the world over will de-
mand the immediate liberation Of all class war
prisoners, the repeal of all laws against foreign
born workers, the repeal of all anti-labor laws
(crlmlnal-syndicasm, sedtion instruction, in
junction, Article 600 New York, etc); equal
rights for Negroes and intensive struggle against
lynching; the collection of funds and the build
ing of the International Red Aid in all countries
The definite forms of the campaign urged by
the International Red Aid are the organization
Of factory meetings, mass meetings protest DEM
onstrations, protest resolutions, the organization
OF workers protest delegations to be sent to the
embassies and consulates of the United States
government in all countries; the carrying on of
a vigorous and ceaseless press campaign, in
which, all liberal and progressive minded intel
lectuals and writer's will be asked to contribute.
Moblllzation for the carrying out of this cam

NOVEMBER II, 1880, will witness a new mob
~ ilization of world labor in support of the Bit
terly prosecuted workers here in the United
States.
On the 43rd Anniversary Of the hanging of
the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago: on the
twelfth anniversary OF the armistice that ended
in truce the world imperialist slaughter; the
international working class will rally again, for
the third time in decade, in protest against
the growing terror Of Wall Street imperialism
against American labor.
Tuesday, November II, 1880, therefore, be-
comes another historic landmark, q day on
which the International Labor Defense, the
American section Of the International Red Aid
calls on American workers to build their resis-
lance to the growing attacks Of their class
enemies
The Executive Committee Of the Interna-
tonal Red Aid, meeting in Berlin, has long had
under consideration an international campaign
against Dollar 1mperialisn's growing attack on
its own working class. It has witnessed the
mounting toll of lynch murders, the savage sem
fences to as high as a years Of imprisonment
meted out to the Imperial Valley prisoners: the
continued imprisonment of Mooney and Billings:
the burning In the electric chair that faces the
six workers in Atlanta; the ferocious attacks on
the March Sixth, and the October 10th New
York Delegations Of the Unemployed; the con-
tinued persecution Of the Centrana prisoners:
the attacks especially by the Fish Committee
OF Congress against the foreign born the vicious
use OF the sedition and instruction Criminal
syndcalisD laws. as well as the wholesale ar
rests OF workers on every hand.
Workers in the United States have frequently
shown their international solidarity by organiz-
ing mass protests in this country against the
persecution OF Latin American workers (fruit
