Why Every Lehigh Valley Worker
Should Vote Communist

an hour for him. try to keep the Communists
from organizing the workers of Allentown?
AS for Reading the Socialist city, it is e5ti
mated that there are at least $4,000 workers TN
employed, getting no relief at all. Wages are
being slashed everywhere win the help Of the
socialists The hosiery workers who make up
bulk of the workers in Reading, have been the
aristocrats of the textile workers making as high
as SIS and even 500 at times are now forced to
work for as low as S25 week, and even less.
In the railway repair shops employing about
5000 workers men are working for as low as 35
cents an hour only from to days week
We cannot however say that Mayor Stump the
socialist Mayor" is doing nothing, for our at
tention was called to the fact that since he has
been elected Mayor he attends church, although
before he became Mayor he did not do so. We
may therefore assume that he is doing it to pray
to god for relief of the unemployed However
outside of that and the fact that he forced the
workers from the Rosedale Hosiery mills to &C
cept a wage cut although the workers we're
ready to strike against it, he has done nothing.
In some cases the socialists of Reading true to
their kind, have proven to be even better watch
dogs of the capitalists profits than the leaders
of the open capitalist parties. Before Stump be-
came Mayor permit obtained for tag
day to raise funds for the striking miners. When
Stump was asked for such permit to raise funds
for the GaStonia strikers he even went to the
trouble of sending letter to the committee in
forming them that they cannot have the permit,
in the best interests of the community" When
the socialists are reminded by the workers at
their meetings about their promises to the unem-
ployed workers, etc, they--have a good alib
That is that the other two capitalist parties who
formerly ran the administration went into debts
that it would take them 8 years to get out of,
after that the unemployed workers of Reading
can have their relief What is years to an I'M
employed worker with an empty stomach? But
then how should the socialists know2 They are
well paid for their treachery to the American
workers.
The workers in Lehgh Valley have learned
particularly this year that it is Sheriffs sales,
unemployment and miserably low wages that
break up their homes and families, not the Com
nunists as the capitalist politicians and the So
cialist traitors want them to believe.
To fight against this misery we must also vote
for the Communist Party. The only Party that
doesn't just talk against these conditions but or
ganizes and leads the workers into strikes and
demonstrations against them 1t is this fact that
makes the capitalists and their government
bodies fight against the Communist Party, no
matter whether these government bodies are con-
trolled by the republican, democrat or socialist
crooks This should be sufficient proof to the
Lehigh Valley workers and farmers that the
Communists are on the level. For this reason
every worker and farmer in Lehigh Valley should
Vote Communist on November 4.

Boss Parties Expose Each Other
AS Enemies of Negroes

are not lacking in ammunition to hurl at their
competing traitors. Among other things are
mentioned the silence of Hoover on the lynching
terror OF the bosses against the Negro workers,
the bitter insult to the Negro masses in the
jm-crowing of the Gold Cross mothers, the
republican failure to enforce the 18th and 18th
amendments in the South Hoovers bid for
southern hly-white support; Hoovers alliance
with the Klan during the last presidential cleo
ton; Ku Klux Khan control of several republican
state organizations, such as Indiana, and the
support being given Helm in Alabama by the
republicans who declined to put up candidate
in order to help Helm, who backed Hoover in
the last presidential election.
Socialists" Thoroly Exposed.
And in the sharpened struggle, the socialists"
have repeatedly exposed their treachery Preach
ing equality in the North, they have practised
the most wanton jinl-crowism in the South, and
even in New York City where they have jim
crow socialist" party headed by Frank Cross
waith, and in New Jersey, where in most places
there are Negro branches of the socialist"
party. And in Texas, the socialists" had the
nerve to advise the Communist Party to avoid
the Negro issue as they-the treacherous, yellow
bellied socialist" donel
In neither of these camps is there any dis
position to combat the oppression of the Negro
masses, but simply the determination to achieve
personal fortune and advancement by betrayng
these masses
Only the Communist Party fights Negro op-
preston. Only the Communist Party fights
jim-crowism and for full political, economic and
social equality for the Negro masses. Only the
Communist Party refuses to compromise on its
demands for Negro liberation and equality. The

Unemployed? Come on
Let's Go to Lunch

The delectable bunch of mancured hypocrites
who carry the League for Industrial Democ-
racy" around with them as a disguise for the
alleged socialist" party, have been springing
new one or two. recent circular letter opens
up with the words
Observation-Disclosures challenge to each
and every one OF us
Then the second line reads:
This is the subject for our first luncheon this
year on Nov. 8th
So unemployment challenges m n
Thomas, who is Executive Director of this League
for Industrial Democracy, and he answers: Il
take your dare. Well all go to lunch" 1t Is
the first luncheon this year" but workers
shouldn't think that Thomas. has been going
hungry like the unemployed have. Oh. no!
But the rest of this Invitation to lunch IS
the main point. And the reader will kindly
keep in mind the fact that Norman Thomas,
head of the socialist" party, which is supposed
to be attacking" Tammany for not doing
enough for the unemployed, announces, as head
of the League for Industrial Democracy, that:
"a program to meet the emergency in New
York City viii be presented by"-and then we
see the name of Mr. Rybcki, the aged-in-the-
wood Tammany Director of the City Employ
ment Bureau.
So, after all the Socialists accept Tamnally's
program.

BY CYRIL BRIGGS

AS the various state election campaigns enter
II the final week, the Negro workers are afforded
the Illuminating spectacle OF three opposing
groups of Negro misleaders engaged in a bitter
attack on the political parties of the capitalist
oppressors Republican, democratic, SOCIALISM,,
but with each group of misleaders putting for
ward its claims for one or other of these enemy
parties as the least unfriendly" and "the lesser
evil" So thoroughly have the bosses parties
exposed their hostility to the Negro masses that
this is the best that the Negro misleaders can
do for their capitalist masters, alternating this
tactic with the other even more hypocritical
tactic of telling the Negro masses to vote for
men and measures and not bother about the
political parties, by which, as everybody knows,
the men and measures are controlled.
A Battle Royal Between Traitors.
1t is battle royal, in the prize ring sense,
between three sets of traitors to see which gang
will have most success in betraying the Negro
masses into the hands of their enemies by cajol-
ing Negro voters to cast their votes for the
parties of their capitalist oppressors.
1t is sorry spectacle that each gang makes
OF each others favored group of oppressors.
For instance, over in illinois, the jm-crow
republicans have dug up the following anti
Negro statements by democratic leaders of state
and national calibre:
Hatred of the Negro Masses.
$50 long as have breath to speak shall raise
my voice to prevent criminal Negroes from lord
ing it over christian white men," And again:
II want Just community here, but before god
this is a white mans government These two
statements were made not by Helm OF Alabama
but by Jim Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois And
backing him, as the jm-crow republicans eff
fectvely show were two other prominent demo-
cratic leaders: Michael Igoe and Francis Busch.
Busch summarizing for both Lewis and Igoe,
with the statement, II stand right where Mr..
Igoe and Senator Lewis stand, that this is and
should be a white mans government"
In New York, the Amsterdam News leads the
local jim-crow republicans in an attack on the
democrats and their jirn-crow tools, exposing
Governor Roosevelt as the author, while Sec
rotary OF the Navy, of an orSir establishing
jim-crowism in the toilets of the State, War and
Navy Department buildings
on the other hand, the jm-crow democrats

.Juries

Some workers, perhaps, still think that they
get fair trial" if they can get a jury instead
of capitalist judge to hear their side. This
is wrong. because the whole capitalist judicial
system is stacked against the workers in any
case involving class interests.
But if there remains a slim chance at an
"even break" we want to tell you that the
capitalists are plotting to take away even that.
First, recall the Los Angeles case, where a
juror was indicted for refusing to vote guilty"
against the leaders of an unemployed demon
stration, though it is the perfect right of .
juror to vote anyway he wants to.
To plug up this hole through which some
worker might escape class revenge, the Amer
lean Law Institute - composed of prominent
members of the bench and bar'-we are told,
meeting at Chicago, have proposed that all states
adopt new system of jury rules among which
are these:
/. In case of felony, other than capital q
verdict of ten out of twelve jurors is enough
to SD you -. ;es CT msdemeanors, eight
out of twelve.
g. Except in cases where death may be i'm
posed, the defendant may waive trial by jury.
CThe may" is to be determined by how hard
the blackjacks are used in ''persuading" friend
less and defenseless workers to waive" their
right to jury and leave their fate to judge.
3. An indictment is not necessary, and pro-
secution can be based upon information" only.
II there is an indictment, objections to 1t are
practically wiped out. And finally, the peremp-
tory challenges of prospective jurors are reduced
to so few as to be ineffective in preventing
frame-up jury. ~.
Workers, take warning If this goes through.
one of those sacred rights for which the
founding fathers" batted at Valley Forge. will
be put in the museum by the developing prepar-
ations for a fascist regime in this fair land OF

Swat That Fly Now:

medical entomology. in spite of its
progress during the last few decades
is an unexpected field, in the opinion
OF DR.. L. w. Howard. There are
hundreds of insect species, closely
allied TO species known to carry dis
ease, that should be studied. These
says Nature Magazine of WASHINGTON
include about $50 types of MOSQUITOES
in the Americas alone.
The entomologists and doctors ex-
posed the house fly as the mechanical
carrier OF several diseases and have
done much to safeguard the world
against this criminal of the insect
world. DIR. toward was a leader in
the campaign against it, publishing
many bulletins and magazine articles
beginning in 1896 ana culminatino in
his book, The House Fly-D,sease
Carrier, which appeared in 1911 and
has since been translated into many
languages.
Extensive studies have been made
OF mosquitoes, too, but, saws DIR
Howard, we do not know all about
them and further work is necessary.

sickness and Rocky Mountain fever

Potato growers in the State are
warned by DR.. R. A. Jehle, special.
list in pathology for University Of
Maryland Extension Service, to be
extremely careful in buying certified
seed, since it has been brought to
his attention during the past weeks
that certain INSCRIPTIONS dealers
are selling an inferior product for
the certified. While this situation
has existed for some years it is
steadily becoming worse because
growers are demanding more certi-
fled seed and some dealers are
taking advantage of this demand by
substituting other than the officially
certified product.

Constitutional Referendum

The Maryland Legislature at its
last session authoized the placing on
the 1890 ballot the State Constitution
referendum.
The voters of Maryland, under the
present constitution, are required
every twenty years, to vote on the
question of constitutional conven-
ton, to be held for the purpose of
making any desired change in the
Constitution of the State, and the ref
erendum will be voted on this fall.
Drawn in 1867, the present con-
stitution, fundamentally sound, no
doubt could undergo several minor
changes, to meet existing conditions,
but it is a question whether the tam
pering with it is wise, or would
result in its Improvement in any
respect.

Pressing School Needs

The overcrowded condition of the
school at Rising Sun, coupled with
the poor arrangement, Objectionable
sanitary features and general made
quateness of the present building,
demands action Of. the County and
School officials, looking to provision
for additional school grounds and the
erection of a building in keeping
with present needs.
Despite objections to new, en-
larged and up-to-date school plant
for Rising Sun, which we under
stand are in the main political, the
fact remains that conditions are such
that they will compel, and this, too,
at no distant date, suitable provision
being made, and the sooner this pro-
vision is made the better.
The present crowded and unsatis-
factory conditions greatly hamper
the work of the teachers and prog
ress of the pupil alike, which of ne
cessity means that it'is impossible to
get full returns for the monetary eX-
penditure, the taxpayers dollar,
that we hear so much about, -that
would accrue with better working
conditions. more snace and imnrOVed
equipment.
Not merely present needs, alone,
should be considered, but provision
made for years to come, as school
consolidation and a system that gives
the pupil an increased number OF
years in the advanced branches is
steadily increasing school attendance,
not only in our county, but drought
out State and country at large.

Maryland poultrymen during the
coming year may well devote effort
to lowering production costs and i'm
proving market quality of their eggs,
together with more efficient market
ing methods, rather than expansion
in the. number of birds kept, as the
outlook is for somewhat lower
prices, according to the Agricultural
Outlook for the State issued recently
by the University of Maryland
Extension Service.
Reports indicate an increase OF
about 5 percent in the number OF
chickens on farms in the United
States as compared with last year,
which indicates an increase in the
number of eggs produced.

Cecil Farmers Club Favors
Public Improvements

The Cecil Farmers Club feels
that there is great need for more
rapid increase in the rate of per-
manent road construction in this
county, and also that definite allo-
cation of priority in snch road build
ing is essential. The club also rec
ognizes that there is a strong de-
mand for the construction of badly
needed County Court House and Jail.
We are of the opinion that such a
program of public improvements can
be accomplished without increase in
the tax rate, by the issuance of short
term bonds and that revenues accru-
ing from the completion of an eX-
banded road system would balance
the increased cost of a bond issue.
The Cecil Farmers Club recon-
mends that the Executivei Committee
of the Cecil County Council govern
ing bodyof affiliated county organiza-
tons request committee that shall
be highly representative of the bust
ness and agricultural interests of
Cecil county to make study of such
a program to hold public hearings
and formulate recommendations for
the information and guidance of the
county's representatives in the next
Legislature, and the Commissioners
to be elected in November.
We believe that in this way such a
plan can be kept out of the realm of
partisan politics. That it can be con-
sumated in such a manner that it will
be efficient, just, and highly benefi-
cial to every section of Cecil county.
We further recommend that copies
of this resolution be sent to the
papers of this county for publication,
and we request that all civic organ
izations throughout the county con-
slider the above proposed plan at
their next business session.
