The State Convention of the A. F.
of L. OF North Carolina

ident of the A. F. of L. to consult with him
on labor's stand. And after that conference
of 118 international unions was held, and Sam
uel Gompers, IN the name of our great labor
movement informed the president of the United
States that organized labor will stand behind
our government in the fight to save the world
for democracy. Let me tell those who call us
foreign agitators, that labor always stood and
will stand in the future behind the government
of the United States"
This statement, viewed in the light of the
recent Developments of the feverish prepara-
tons for war, the expenditure of billions of
dollars for ornaments, the sharp attack of the
state department on the Soviet Union, the Fish
Investigation Committee, and especially the at
tack of Matthew Woll and the A. f. of L. in
general against the Communist Party and the
Soviet Union makes it clear that the A. F. of
l.. is working as the direct agent of the U. S.
War Department. Bill Green will do exactly
the same that Samuel Gompers did: sell the
American working class to the next Wall Street
war.
For Class Peace and Profits.
In speaking of the aims of the A. F. of L.
in the South, Smith said, "Were in the South
to make industry more profitable by establish
ing greater efficiency and elimination of waste
We're against unnecessary strikes We will
accomplish these aims through peaceful means"
Not a word was said about the vicious cam
paign of terrorism, the eviction of hundreds of
families from company houses the murder of
the SIX Marion strikers, responsibility for which
falls upon the fat takers of the A. F. of /.
Needless to say that such questions as unem-
ployment insurance, old age pension, were en-
tirey out of order in this labor convention"
There was only one Negro worker in the
whole so-called convention. He was sitting all
by himself. way in the back and did not dare
to ask for the floor The A. f. of L. is openly
advocating and practising the policy of the
oosses segregation and Jim Crowsm. The
dozens of cases of ynchngs and mob violence
against Negro workers which is part of the
terror campaign of the bosses against all the
workers in general. were not even mentioned
because most of the A. +. of l.. takers present
naturally support lynchings AMI would them
selves gladly participate in lynchng mobs.
A. F. of L. Supports Bulwnklc.
The whole line of Paul Smiths speech was
that OF attack against the "reactionaiy repub-
ican admins ration" and full of praise for the
democratic democrats" This means that in
the fall elections the A. +. of L. will support
the Cardno"s, Ev'v.ia',ley, and the rest of the

Quick! A Young Man For
Uncle Sam.

1t now appears that the 100 per cent Amer
leans who get epileptic over their claim (Which
is not true) that Soviet Russia don't pay its
debts" have some glass houses right at home.
The Weekly Bond Buyer" published at 81
Pearl St. New York, reveals that 25 Florida
cities have defaulted on the bonds-refused to
pay back the money they borrowed; more, that
many others are going to do the same; and
still more, that "this is not limited to Florida"
but that Texas cities are beginning to default
on their bonds, also county subdivisions in
New Jersey, and the city of Cohoes, N. Y.
Besides this, the paper says that many large
sized cities in the farm area will have diff
ficulties this winter" Millions of corporation
bonds are in default, millions more of building
and apartment bonds, but this idea of cities
and counties, and big cities refusing to pay
their debts is something that even Lovestone
will have a hard time explaining as "a sign
of strength of American capitalism" Soviet
Russia has no liking to pay debts the Gar
made to get money to shoot the workers, but
it pays its way, thank you.

September l and the Elections
By J. L. p.

5000 Workers Swamp Job Bureau for
1876 Jobs"
1880 Textile Workers Strike Against
Wage Cuts in Bessamer City, near GastOnia"
PUBLICITY stories are printed daily about
the return of prosperity, increase of en-
poyment and of "Hooyerian" promises of re-
lief Nothing is further from the earth. 1t
seems almost automatic that as the stories of
relief appear, unemployment increases. The
index of production in the major industries
and the car loadings Cor its lowest point since
crisis) are indicative of the exact opposite of
the press reports. The economists of the CAPT
talist class when speaking directly to their
masters and not for public" consumption see
nothing but increased unemployment and de-
cline of production which means more misery
for the working class.
This ballyhoo that is being printed in the
capitalist press is part of the election cam
paign material being put out by the bosses
parties. Each party blames the other for the
economic situation but none offer relief for
the unemployed. The incident the other day
at the state unemployment office where OOG
workers demanded jobs is not exception but
is Symphonic of the growing unemployment and
the deepening of the crisis.
An attempt is being made to utilize the I'M
employment situation as club over the heads
of the employed workers. This accounts for
the offensive that is being made in the form
of wage cuts in all industries. The strugglein
Bessemer City, scene of the famous Gastonia
struggle is one of the whole series of strikes
against wage cuts that are breaking out in
all sections of the country. This is the work
ers' answer to. the attempt of the bosses to
lower their already low standard of living
Unity between the unemployed and employed
workers must become a living reality.
September First, the day set aside for dem
onstration against unemployment, is an in
tegral part of the election campaign Thu
struggle against unemployment and for the
Social Insurance Bill is the very center of the
Communist Party campaign. In the state of
New York we have Social Insurance Bill"
but this is so openly fraud that even the
capitalist parties do not dare trot it forward
The Insurance Bill demands genuine mainten-
ance. The workers will fght-not starve!
The building of the unemployment councils
must be intensified, means of organizing
the Unemployed for struggle The capitalist
parties making the fake issue of prohi5i-
ton the ma issue in the election campaign
Wet or dry. the workers will still face starva-
ton. The socialist party, capitalist party with
a fake cloak, makes graft and corruption its
central issue and endorses the (Hooverianl
bosses. plans for the solution" (wage cuts
and speed-up) of the unemployment question
1t is only the Communist Party that is util-
izing the election campaign as a means OF
modelling workers, both employed and unem-
ployed in struggle against unemployment.
September First must be the means of cen
tering the attention of the workers in all Sc
tons of the country on the election platform
of the Communist Party.

ment to furnish proof to the mperialist OPP
pressors of his solidarity with the depressing
class! In effect, he tells the imperialists:
Look we attacked as being on your side
in the struggle between the exploited masses
and their eXploiters. Now, you know where
we stand, so don't be alarmed if at times we
indulge in militant phrases; such phrases are
used simply to deceive the masses into the
belief that we waging a struggle against
you, their oppressors." But the Negro masses
are no longer being fooled by Garvey's left
phrases. This is clearly demonstrated in the
weakened state of the Universal Negro I'M
provement Association which today cannot
boast one-haf its former membership.
However, Garvey and the rest of the u N
l. A. leadership still constitute very sinister
danger to the Negro masses and their strug-
gle for liberation. This was shown in the al
lance of the Garvey leadership with the po-
lice of New York in the murder of Alfred
Levy, Negro revolutionary worker, and again
in this latest treacherous alignment of Garvey
with the native and foreign exploiters of the
black masses of Jamaica.
1t is the task of the Communist Party to
ruthlessly unmask this treacherous and reac-
tionary leadership, and to win the Negro
masses for the revolutionary struggle against
imperialism and for the overthrow of all race
and class oppression, at the same time rallying
the white masses to support of the struggles
of the Negro masses.

This convention of the A. F. of L., more so
than any previous convention, was most reac-

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: In travelling. what is
the necessary luggage?
Answer: THE amount and type
of luggage depends upon the ma
ture of the trip. In general, the
luggage should be neat in appear
ance and should be chosen TO give
as little trouble as possible.
The experienced traveller always
can be told by the small amount Of
luggage needed. Hand luggage
should be reduced to a minimum
and should be packed so that 1t will
not be necessary to dig to the bot
tom for articles which may be
needed during the first part Of the
trip. Hand luggage may be check
ed at the station If the traveller
is to be in the city only few hours
thus saving the inconvenience OF
carrying it about with him.
Luggage is usually marked with
the owners initials for identified
ton although the full name is
sometimes used on hand luggage.

N made pie! There is nothing
much nicer for dessert during the
ate fall and early winter months.
Despite the general belief that pie
is difficult to digest, nutrition spe-
cialists are rapidly proving that
well-baked pie is as completely
digested by the normal, healthy
individual as any other form Of
baked stuff.
Pie filings seldom give the in
experienced baker as much trouble
as the crust Itself. Good pastry
is not just luck nor mere guess.
Careful methods and accurate
measuring are as essential for pie
crust as for angel cake. Our moth
ers and grandmothers who baked
dozens OF pies week had very
definite method and measured
with great accuracy by eye" and
feel" although it was impossible
for them TO formulate an exact
rule.
The ideal pie crust is flaky and
tender. In appearance it is gold
en- brown color around the edge. a
somewhat lighter brown on the
bottom and in the center of the
top crust It's surface is rough.
almost blistered rather than
smooth and firm. 1t should be
crisp on the bottom as we'll as
along the edges.
There are certain precautions.
both dos and "don'ts" TO be
kept in mind regarding the meth
cd. The tendency 10 over-miX the
ingredients is usually the begin
ner's worst fault. With the large
proportion OF fat used. it is only
too easy for the novice to work
the constantly warming and sof-
tening fat into the -four until a
greasy mass is formed that cannot
absorb enough water 10 make the
pastry faky.
The addition OF the water is an
other 'tickliSh point. Too much
water makes a heavy. tough dough
in spite OF correct proportions of
fat and -four. Water must be add
ed in such q way that it is distrib-
uted evenly among all the little
four-coated particles OF fat. Toss
the mixture lightly. using no pres
sure and adding water a little at a
time until all the particles are
dampened. Then press the damp
ened edges lightly to see If they
will stick together. If they remain
apart, sprinkle a few more drops
of water through the mixture.
When the mixture will hold to-
gether divide into portions as nee
essary and press each portion into
disc.
Always work as quickly as pos
sible. reducing both the time and
the handling of the dough to a
minimum.
