EXPOSE FAKERS'
SCHEME AGAINST
INSURANCE BILL
Toilers Must Fight For
Social Insurance, Not
Boss Measures

AS the fight for the Workers So
cial Insurance Bill, advocated by the
Communist Party, and published in
the Daily Worker soome time ago,
spreads among wide masses of
workers, all sorts of fake liberal
and Musteite schemes have cropped
up to mislead the workers in their
fight for unemployment insurance.
The main purpose Of these tricky
schemes is to protect the bosses
and transfer the burdens to the
workers, who are already suffering
from huge unemployment and grow
ing wage-cuts.
The Communist social insurance
bill is based on the class interests
of the workers. 1t provides for
adequate unemployment insurance
for all workers, from whatever
cause-old age, sickness, accident
or lack of job--amounting to
minimum of $500 per week with
an additional S. for each of such
unemployed workers dependents.
The money for this jobless insur-
ance, says the Workers Social In
surance Bill would come first out
of the billions set aside by the inn
perialists for war. Secondly, there
would be levy on all fortunes of
S25,esS and over, and graduated
income tax on incomes of $1,000 and
over.
A fight is now being carried on
by the Trade Union Unity League,
Unemployed Councils, and the Com
munist Party, among the widest
strata of workers, in the factories,
mines, shops, offices, on the bread
lines-wherever the workers con-
gregate--to force through the cap

10000 REBELS
NEAR PESHAWAR
Armed Peasants Ready
For Big Battle

Capitalist news services from
Karachi. India, though heavily CEN
sored by the British imperial gov
eminent, report wholesale armed in
surrection in the Northwest prov
inces. A force of 10000 Afridi tribe
peasants, who have been on the
march toward the British fortified
city of Peshawar for two days, were
yesterday within twelve miles of
their objective, with the British
land and air forces so far unable
to check them. Another battle in
the barren ground north of the city
is imminent. The British have so
airplanes.
Peshawar is the military center
of the Northwest and is part of the
extensive Notifications along the
Afghan boundary.
The tribesmen for hundreds of
miles around are very resentful of
British rule. The government has
for months tried to terrorize them
by sending bombing planes to blow
up their villages and scatter any
groups seen together. Several
weeks ago, two armed bands made
headquarters in caves in the noun
tains and resisted British bombing
and land attacks very successfully.
The Youth Lead.
British punitive columns have de-
scended on several villages and
burned them, making arrests of the
leaders of a militant anti-imperiaI-
list organization, "The Red Shirts. u
The chief organizations behind the
present renewed uprising are said
in the capitalist press to be the
Afghan Youth League and newly
organized youth League of Pesha-
war"
Peshawar itself was the scene
early this year of mutiny of Brit
ish Indian troops, who refused tc
fire when ordered by their officers
to massacre those taking part in ar
anti-imperialist demonstration.

ISSUE ORDER TO
DEP0RT SERIO
All Witnesses Swear
Inspector Lies

NEW YORK. - Guido Serio, ar
rested for speaking at an unem-
ployment protest meeting in Erie,
Pennsylvania, and held under $685.
900 bail, has been ordered deported
to Italy by the United States I'm
migration authorities, according to
wire received today by the Ma
tional Office of the international
Labor Defense today.
'This verdict is an outrage that
marks a new high level of persecu-
ton against the foreign born, says
the International Labor Defense.
"The only witnesses whose testi-
mony was used against Serio have
signed and sworn affidavits brand
in, the testimony called theirs as
completely false and distracted by
the immigration Inspector Powers.
"The international Labor Defense
attorneys demanded another hearing
of the case on the basis of repu-
diation of testimony by all the
states witnesses.
"In spite of this, the u. S. Gov
eminent immigration authorities at
Washington have refused another
heraing and have sentenced Serio to
be deported to Italy.
"Such sentence for a class con-
scious worker means death in fascist
Italy"
The Serio case is only one In
a general campaign against foreign
born workers.
Against this heartless campaign,
the entire working class is to be
modified.

Mother BL DOR TO
TOUR FARM AREA
VIII Brin g Farmers
Fighting Program

BISMARK, N. D.-Mother Bloor,
the veteran labor fighter and the
Election Campaign Manager of the
Communist Party for the Northwest
States, is now on tour in the Dako-
tas and Montana. Workers and
farmers organizations are called
upon to cooperate with Comrade
Mother Bloor now on tour, and help
in the arrangements of meetings,
sale Of literature, etc.
The purpose of Mother Bloor's
tour is to organize the workers and
farmers for the Communist election
campaign. The Communist Party is
putting up a full ticket in the states
of North and South Dakota and
Montana. No matter under what
name the capitalists may appear be-
fore the farmers, they will not be
i position to prevent the present
economic 7 hit of the farmers, the
growing unemployment and the in
creased capitalist exploitation. On
the contrary, the various Farmer
Labor Parties and progressive
groups are only agents used by the
capitalist class in order to mislead
again the workers and farmers in
the coming elections.
The Communist Party standing on
the platform of class struggle is the
only force capable to organize and
lead the struggles of the workers
and farmers.
The tour of Mother Bloor is as

TROOPS Sent TO
FIGHT STRIKERS
More Join Big French
Strike in North

PARIS, Aug. S.-Despite the
shipment of more troops to the
North of France, the general strike
here is spreading. Even though
some workers have returned to work,
having gained their demands, the
n mber still out is well over 200, 900.
In Halluin the general strike is
complete. All work has shut down.
except the food supply.
In Roubaix a demonstration of
strikers took place under the leader
ship of the Communist Party. 1t
was on the initiative of the revolu-
tionary leaders in the union that
the strike was made effective, de-
spite the class collaboration tactics
of the yellow union leaders.
Under a heavy military escort,
900 Belgian scabs were brought into
Halluin. Both the Belgian and
French workers who are not within
the strike area have expressed their
resentment against the scabs, and
their police protectors. Yesterday
the scabs were turned back, many
of them being injured. Buses were
overturned.
The strike is for higher wages
and against the fake jobless insur-
ance bill, which makes the workers
pay instead of the bosses. The
COMMUNISTS are demanding a social
insurance bill with adequate relief
paid by the bosses and their state.
