A.F.L. FAKERS IN
TAMMANY DEAL

The takers of the New York State
Federation of Labor have come out
in support of the Tammany ticket
which is in line with the policy these
betrayers have been persuing in
every election, to sell out the work
ers' votes to the capitalist parties.
Among the garment workers it
was reported yesterday that the
Socialist" group of takers headed
by Benjamin Schlessinger and other
members of the socialist" party
are in line to pile big vote for the

workers away from the imperialist

Won Blon, in his letter, a photo
stat copy of which is published on
this page, admits that the bosses
will not be worried even if the $50
cialists" poll up big vote (why
should they, when the socialist"
party is just another boss party
with a few revolutionary phrases
thrown in as fly paper with which
to catch militant workers?), but
would be worried stiff by big Com
munist vote. Nothing would stir
the plutes up quite as much as
that" he admits. He further admits
that for years the socialist" party
program has had no "guts" in it,,
and that this year, "for the first
time in years, the S. P. offers a
platform that" $50 he saysD "has
at least some CUTS in it."
If it has any CUTS in it, neither
the Negro workers nor the white
workers can see it.

diate the socialist" traitors and
their vote snaring tricks. Support
the struggles of the Negro masses
against lynching and oppression.

Socialist" Misleaders Jim Crow Negro

WACO, Tex, Oct. 23.-The $50
cialist" party, whose Jewish Daily
Forward some time ago carried on
vicious lynching incitement cam
paign against the Negro workers,
slandering them as ''rapists," and
whose brother parties in Europe
have actively supported the plum

the imperialists, today further ex-
posed itself as treacherous ally
of the white ruling class and a

written by the socialist" candidate

This socialist" standard bearer,
petty bourgeois shop keeper, by

boasts that in his opinion the $50

Negro question in its southern cleo

the struggles of the Negro masses

HOOVER "HUNCER CREW"
LEAVES "RELlEF" TO THE
LOCAL BOSS CRAFTERS
Situation Is Serious"
Says Col. Woods;
Protects Profits
Is An Election Move
Big Communist Vote
and Fight Is Answer

NEW YORK.-Further steps
against the 100000 unemployed
were taken Wednesday by Hoover's
hunger committee" Col. Arthur
Woods, ex-police commissioner of
New York, who has been appointed
to head the starvation-enforcing
crew, together with Secretary of
Commerce, Lamont, fresh from Wall
Street conferences, met with the
imperialist president in Washing
ton.
Fake Relief.
1t is becoing clearer every day
from interviews handed out by
Woods, Lamond and Hoover that
there is not the slightest idea of
"relief" behind the Hoover hunger"
outfit. Col. Woods interview ended
with these words: "Much of the
work will in the final analysis de-
volve on the local set-ups." In other
words, breadlines and blackjacks is
the line of the Hoover committee.
They depend on the Jimmy Walkers,
the Mulrooneys, the Murphys, and
their ilk to 'solve" the problem. The
workers know how they will solve
it. :.
Woods admitted that the unem-
ployment situation was "very seri-
ous." He was called in just before
election with a blare of trumpets to
aid the bosses in their election drive.
At the same time Woods job will
be to use every boss agency, federal
and local, to protect the profits of
the exploiters from the demands of
real relief. The insistance that the
bulk of the "efforts" must be local
is to keep down the demands that
the big war fund of a billion dol
lars be turned over for unemploy-
ment relief, and the demand in the
Unemployment Insurance Bill of the
Communist Party, that federal tax
re placed on the parasites fortune,
plus an increased income tax to pay
for unemployment relief.
Woods said he would be very busy
for a week concocting plans against
"human misery" One of the pro-
posals that Woods will present is
the so-called "stagger-system" or
part time basis for all workers now
employed, which would only spread
the misery of hunger to all workers
in the form of wage-cuts, even if it
were carried out on a national scale.
No relief will come from Hoover's
hunger committee" Only a de-
termined fight by the workers will
force the bosses to provide relief.
The Unemployment Insurance Bill
of the Communist Party demands
this relief for all unemployed. Vote

BUY SWELL CARS
ON CITY BUDGET
Grafters Ride in Best;
Jobless Starve

NEW YORK. - While Jimmie
Walker and his fellow grafters at
City Hall throw insults about ice
cream and charity at the 100000
unemployed in New York City, these
same Tammany henchmen are roll
ling around the city and travelling
with chorus girls to road houses in
luxurious cars that are being paid
for out of public funds.
A paltry S1.25 is what the city
officials think an unemployed work
er should get through the winter on.
, But for the local politicians, there
are $40 luxurious pleasure cars, at
city expense. The trucks and ma
chimes of such departments as the
fire department are of course not
included in this number.)
And what cars they are! For in
stance, records of the State Motor
Vehicle Bureau show that there are
seventy-one office holders who re-
quire nothing less than a Cadillac
to get them around town; twelve
need Lincolns, twenty-four find high
priced Packards ne :essary, ten -
quire Pierce Arrows, two have to
have Locomobiles, and nothing less
than Duesenberg with a special
body and equipment is used by May
or James A. Walker.

City Expense.
The Duesenberg is known in the
automobile trade as the most ex-
pensive of American cars.

many Grafters

NEW YORK. - To do his part
in the fake "hunger committee" pro-
gram of Hoover, Mayor Walker is
sued orders Wednesday night to mo-
bilize the Tammany grafters' forces
against the demands Of the unem-
ployed. He didn't say much about
his $1,000,00O relief item, as this
sum looks pretty ridiculous in view
of the statement of Commissioner
Rybicke that there are more than
100000 jobless in New York City
THE police have been given IN
structions to register" the unem-
ployed in their patrol. This is a
Tammany blacklist to persecute the
jobless who fight for zeal relief in
stead of being content with starva-
ton or bread lines.
A United Front
The Tammany united front with
the Hoover starvation machine
shows the unity of the capitalist
parties in fighting against unem-
ployment insurance demands. In
Walkers outfit there will be Social
lists, Republicans and Tammany
grafters. Wall Street will be we'll
represented, as the bankers and the
stock brokers have a committee of
one hundred elected to cooperate"
with Walker.
Donations
Walker is demanding that all city
workers donate one dollar from
their pay to "feed the unemployed
HHe says nothing about the de-
mand of the Unemployed Council
that all the big salaries be cut and
the money turned over for relief of
the unemployed. Walker takes his
cue from Hoover. He wants to
throw the entire burden on the backs
of the workers. THE bosses are
mobilizing everywhere to protect
their profits from the demands of
the workers for unemployment in
surance.
Walker was told Wednesday by
Commissioner Taylor that the Mu-
nicipal Lodging House is crammed
to capacity. Many unemployed
workers sleeping on the streets are
facing death by freezing.
Charity, breadlines, we'll supplied

NEW YORK.-Today, tomorrow

Funds are very urgent. Without

A letter reproduced here was sent
to the District Organizer refusing
point blank to permit Communist
candidates to speak in public school
rooms. What was the grouse? The
fact that the Communist Party
militantly leads the fight for unem-
ployment insurance. The letter
spoke of recent disturbances. Did
they mean the slugging of workers
by Tammany cops, or the terrific
beating given to the Unemployed
Council delegation on Oct. 18th in
the Council Chambers, on direct
orders of Mayor Walker? Anyway,
they wouldn't permit Communists
to expose the Tammany grafters in
the very schools in which so much
grating is done.

This is capitalist democracy.

cially-are given these illegal"

,E THOUGHT SILLY n some SAYING THAT HAVE A MES


In 1923 expressions of hatred and
animosity were vented against the Duke
Of Buckingham in every quarter. He
was the most unpopular man in Eng
land. The people had tired Of his as
cendancy, first over James and then
over Charles I.
Predictions and prophecies of an I'M
timely and violent end began to reach
the duke. However, neither he nor his
royal master paid any attention to
them, though Buckingham himself
seems to have reached the conclusion
that his end was approaching.
A most extraordinary woman made
an impressive prediction. This was
Lady Eleanor Davies, fifth daughter of
George Audley, Earl of Castlehaven, a
mad prophecies who had so often been
correct that common people came to
believe her implicitly. In August, when
the duke prepared to set out to relieve
Rochelle, in France, she sent him writ
ten prophecy that he would not outlive
the month.
Most dramatic Of all was a warming
which was said to have come from the
ghost of Sir. George Villiers, father of
the duke. This strange tale not only
Is narrated by several contemporary
writer's, but even Lord Clarendon, the
historian, has perpetuated. it.
An aged man named Parker, who had
been intimate with both Sir George
Villiers and George Villiers, Duke Of
Buckingham, had. 1t appears, q demon
appear to him several times in the
shape Of the elder George Vtlliers.
On his first visits this apparition
came into Parker's bed chamber with
out any sort Of speech or action, but
finally, in the words Of one chronicler,
''broke out into these words: Mr..
Parker, know you loved me formerly
and my son George very well at this

George VillierS Of Leicestershire.
would have you go from me to my son
and warn him that he above all refrain
from the company and counsel Of GER
tain persons or he will come to destruc-
ton, and that suddenly"
Parker, thinking he had been dream
ing. paid no attention to this adven-
ture But a few nights later the ap-
partition again appeared, this time an
grily, and commanded him to take q
warning to the duke.
But" replied the old man, "the duke
Is difficult of access. Moreover, will
be thought silly If come saying that
I have a message from the dead"
To this the apparition Is said to have
replied: "If he will not believe you
come from me, here is secret which
none in the world but he and know;
tell 1t to him.
Parker obtained an interview with the
duke and when he scoffed at the story
of the apparition and its warning told
him of the secret which had been di-
vulged to him. Sir Ralph Freeman,
who happened to be present, says that
then the duke turned pale, swearing
that Parker could only have come to
the knowledge through the devil"
Buckingham, when he had thought
things over, however, took no stock In
the ghost, deciding that the whole plot
had been devised by his mother, the
Countess of Buckingham, because Of
her fear that something would happen
to him.
On August %, on his way to Ports
mouth, Buckingham was stabbed
through the heart by John FELTON,, an
enthusiast, who left q note saying he
was willing to sacrifice his life for the
honor of God, his king and country.
FELTON, was hanged for the crime.

Building q Home.


Building a home is an unfailing in
stinct in men and women. A place
one can call his own, place one has
built out of his dreams and the labor Of
his hands, where the children can be
born and reared, Is cherished vision
IN the mind Of the very least Of us.
Cities do not offer as good homes for
children as the country does. The noise,
the crowding, the dirt, the tragic lack
Of play space, the absence Of the
beauties Of nature, rob the city of any
charm for childhood. The country Is
better.
There was day when living in the
country meant crucifying labor. Every
drop of water had to be carried into the
house and out again. Winter cold grip
ped the very cookies of the heart, and
the blistering Summer sun dried them
up. The roads were poor and their
dirt choked the gardens. Doctors were
far away and slow to come. Supplies
were hard to get. Friends were at a
distance, Schools were few and poor
The city offered better opportunities for
comfortable, healthy living.
That time Is passing. Young people
do not have to face that sort Of life
now should they choose to live in the
open. Houses are built for convenience.
Electricity nghtens all labor Plumbing,
sanitation that assures health and com.
fort to the family Is matter Of course
The telephone and the radio and the
airplane and the family car have made
the village and the farm as easy to
live In as any city fiat. And far more
suited to rearing children.
Teachers and doctors and nurses are
close to the schools and homes of the
village today. Schools are better. The
classes are, or ought to be, small. The
teacher has q chance to know the per-
sonalities of the children and to help
the growth Of each one. Best of all, the
children have q chance to play in
safety in the open air, under a clear
sky, In pure, sweet air. That alone is
worth any sacrifice of lifts and dumb
walters and steam and . palatial lobby
presided over by buttons and frigidity.
The number Of little children killed
On the streets of the city Is appalling.
shudder to think Of that number and
the tragedy 1t records. Any effort to
safeguard the children is made impera-
tive and justihable. Any effort to house
young people starting a home ought to
be applaude6 and aided to the utmost.
