FOR Freedom
OF PHILIPPINES
Anti mperialist Group
Demand independence

The Anti-Imperialist League of
the United States, in a statement
just issued Islands for the COM
plete and immediate independence
of the Philippines"
The statement was unanimously
adopted by the Executive Commit
tee of the League which includes
Robert w. Dunn, Roger Baldwin,
Albert Moreau, James W. Ford,
Jessie Lloyd, Manuel Gomez, and R.
K. Kangleon. 1t was endorsed by
the League for Filipino Freedom of
Chicago, whose general secretary is
Anacleto Almenana The statement
says:
1.-THE Anti-Imperialist League of
the United States stands for the
complete and immediate indepen-
dence of the Philippines. 1t sup
ports those movements in the
Philippines which stand on this pro-
gram and opposes those half-heart-
ed advocates of independence who
give lip service to the principle but
sabotage it in practice.
"The Filipino politicians in Off
cial charge of the independence
commission are making no genu-
inc effort to free the Philippines.
Men such as Quezon, Osmena, and
Roxas compromise with American
imperialist interests obviously in an
attempt to share with them the ex-
ploitation of the islands.
"The only solid basis for the
freedom of the Philippines is to be
found not among the politicians but
among the working and peasant
classes who are awakening to the
need of independent action. These
forces are beginning to understand
that theirs is a common struggle
with the anti-imperialist move
ments in other parts of the Orient
against alien rule"

DEALERS DESTROY
100000 LBS. OF FOOD;
UNEMPLOYED STARVE
Carloads of Vegetables Rot or Are Destroyed
t. Keep Prices Up
Overproduction Rampant; Graneries Are Full
Workers Must Fight for "Work or Wages

NEW YORK.-While between
seven and eight million men and
women are out of work, with en-
ployment growing worse and bread
lines longer, capitalism, in order to
keep prices up, finds it necessary
to send as much as 100000 pounds
of fresh vegetables a week to the
city dumping grounds.
New York produce merchants
have estimated that 100000 pounds
of string beans, lettuce, tomatoes,
spinach, cucumbers and corn are
daily consigned to New York gar
bage heaps. And, aside from this,
as produce men are unable to ac-
cept shipments, hundreds of tons of
fresh vegetables are sold below cost
or are dumped by railway and ship
ping companies.
Wholesale prices have dropped to
new low price levels. And while
the worker, who is robbed right and
left UNDER capitalism, must pay, out
of the niggardly wages thrown to
him by the boss, the same old high
prices for the necessities of life.
A bourgeois New York paper
gives the following words from an
official of jill Bros, Inc, a big
produce concern: "The situation
would adjust itself when farmers
realized that it was better to plow
excess crops under the soil, as prices

paid for picking and shipping did
not justify harvesting when an over
supply existed"
In sunny California oranges and
other fruits are rotting under the
trees. Warehouses throughout the
country are bursting with grain
which no doubt will be burnt to
keep the price high enough to make
life comfortable for a handful of
parasites.
The boss officials in Washington,
Enthusiastically silent in such mat
tiers, calmly hand workers toy ba-
loon promises with which to amuse
themselves during the process of
starvation. Produce merchants blame
the retailers, and the retailers blame
conditions. But the workers, sick
of the lies of capitalism, blame the
bosses system.
They are learning that capitalism
thrives on a docile working class.
They are learning that they only
become detestible in the eyes of that
fat slob and super racketeer, the
capitalist, when they become mill
tant and feel themselves a part of
mighty class whose historic mis-
sion is to smash that system which,
while men, women and children
starve, wastes carloads of food and,
in the long run, can only guarantee
the worker misery, broken health,
poverty and oppression.

Wage-Cut Champion
Trust Spokesman

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The
electric power trust, at its national
convention held in San Francisco,
put forward a democrat as its prop
uganda spokesman. I. N. Hurley of
Chicago. Hurley in his speech as
sured the power trust that the demo-
Gratis are just as fervent supporters
of the speed-up, wage-cutting policy
as the Hoover administration and
further outlined a policy of still
closer cooperation between govern
ment executives and heads of indus
try and finance. Hurley did not
mention that he had already demon
strated his wage-cutting program on
more than one occasion in his own
factories.

PACIFIC Dye TO
LAYOFF, CUT PAY
Reorganization" Plan
Wage-Cutting Scheme

LAWRENCE, Mass, June 10
Fifteen hundred workers in the Pa
cific Print and Dye will be thrown
on the streets to swell the ranks
of the more than 1000 jobless work
ers here when the two weeks "re-
organization" plan goes into effect
tomorrow.
The bosses hope and expect that
in two weeks time, when the plant
reopens, the workers will be so glad
to get their jobs back that they will
accept a wage-cut and still further
speed-up. Not that the jobs are so
desirable. Chemicals used in the
dye and print departments are ruin
Gus to the workers eyes. The work
ers are not allowed to open windows
in the plant, and suffer horribly
from the poisonous fumes, because
the bosses refuse to install decent
ventilating system. The workers are
often forced to work right through
the lunch period and grab their
food.
The National Textile Workers
Union has been holding meetings
and distributing leaflets at the gate
of the plant calling upon the work
ers to organize and go back to work
better organized than ever. A huge
mass meeting for all textile work
ers, employed and unemployed, has
been arranged for Thursday eve
ming on the Common at o'clock.
Among the speakers will be John
Nahorski, district organizer OF the
National Textile Workers Union;
Sophie Melvin. from the national
office of the union, whom the bosses
tried last year to send to the cleo
trio chair for her part in organizing
the Southern textile workers OF Gas
tonia, and lawrence B. Cohen, Jr.,
of the Young Communist League.

Wolfe PRAISES
FAKER GANDHI
LoVestone Meet Is for
u. S.-Angio War

NEW YORK.-Mr. D. B. Wolfe,
leading member of the group of
renegades from Communism, put
forth a spirited defense of Mahatma
Gandhi, against the criticisms of
the Communists, at meeting Tues
dey night at Park Palace. Mr..
Wolfe spoke with Tim Healy, ad-
mirer of Ramsay Macdonald, and
with Mr.. Chose, who aspires to ar
rive at an alliance with American
imperialism against the British.
Wolfe's talk, as taken by a stem
ographer and transmitted to the
Daily Worker, was a direct contribu-
ton of help to Gandhi and the In
dian bourgeoisie in their efforts to
sell out the Indian revolution to
Macdonald by maintaining the illu-
sion that Gandhi is really fighting
for independence. Wolfe said:
when that struggle, which Mr..
Gandhi is expressing the determine
ton to put through to successful
conclusion; when that struggle is
ended, the British Empire is ended.
at was left to a little band of
idealists, divorced from the masses,
separated from the class in which
they were born, to carry on the In
dian revolutionary movement. To
the credit of Gandhi be it said that
almost alone of all the leaders of
the pre-war revolutionary move
ment, he saw the significance of
the masses in the struggle for In
dian freedom. He offered a pro-
gram to the masses, program OF
mass struggle, mass resistance,
mass boycott, civil disobedience.
These were the services of Gandhi
to the revolutionary movement.
This was what made him the out
standing figure in the movement,
so that when ones mind turns to
India the first thought is of Gandhi.
His non-co-operation movement is a
movement of forcing Britain out of
India.
Every friend of Indian freedom,
let him be critical as he may of
the tactics Gandhi is following,
must all unite and demand that
Gandhi be taken out of Jail.
"The subject we are discussing
tonight will some day, and soon, be
so popular in these United States
that every big, powerful capitalist
daily in the country will carry head
lines against British Imperialism,
against British atrocities and for
freedom for India"
At the close of the meeting the
few-score assembled Lovestoneites
adopted, with great enthusiasm, a
resolution in the name of "the ira
ditions of the American people who
have always supported the strug-
giles of subject races and peoples
for freedom"
Of course, all these bourgeois
ideas, this glorification of the
spokesman of the Indian bourgeoisie,
this invitation to the Indians to look
to U. S. imperialism for their lib
Grafton, this hog-wash about the
American people" who never op-
press and exploit the weak nations
and peoples, was all put forth in
the name of Communism" Work
ers everywhere must know that
Wolfe is no Communist, but a rene
gade who has deserted Communism
and gone over to his enemies.

ARE NEGROES HARD TO
ORGANIZE?

And today in the strike of 1900 coal miners
in Eastern Ohio and West Virginia, the Negro
workers are again showing themselves the most
militant section of the strikers. The strike
committees at both the Glendale and Alexander
Mine in Moundsville West Virginia, are led
by Negroes. Altho a minority of the strikers,
it is the Negro workers who are leading the
mass picket lines, who are instinctively fol-
lowing a revolutionary line in their conduct of
the struggle.
Across the Ohio River from Moundsvlle,
where the Powhatten mine is on strike, it is
no exaggeration to say that the strike would
be lost today and the men back at work, were
it not for the militancy of the Negro miners.
The brutal attacks of deputy sheriffs and
company gunner on the picket line, the blub-
bing of pickett and the use of tear gas bombs,
have been unable to break the determination
of the Negro strikers to carry the strike thru
to successful conclusion. When some of the
white workers on the strike committee, after
the last assault on the picket line by 80 odd
deputy sheriffs armed with tear gas bombs,
raised the question of calling off the strike,
it was the Negro members of the strike conf
mttee who refused to even consider this pro-
posal and led the fight against it. Largely
due to their militancy this temporary vacilla-
ton was overcome Immediately and the ranks
of the strikers closed for further struggle.
The answer to the theory that Negro work
ers are harder to organize and are less mill
tant than white workers may be found in the
following figures relating to the strike. There
are today February 26) some 60 scabs in the
Alexander mine, around $50 in the Powhattan
mine, none in the Glendale mine. Not one OF
these scabs is a Negro. There have been some
10 strikers arrested on the picket line in Pow
haitian Less than one fourth of the GU
strikers are Negroes, yet of the 10 strikers ar
rested for their militancy on the picket line 10,
or all but are Negroes.
