MAY DAY

By the time this issue of The Producers News is
off the press the newspapers of the world will
have columns of reports on meetings and demon
STATIONS of revolutionary workers called to pro-
test against the present robber system of capital
ism and to agitate for social order.
On every May Day, the international holiday of
labor the masses meet and march and renew their
loyalty to the that can never be defeated be-
it is in line with historical development
The workers take lessons from their setbacks and
with fresh ardor, inspired by the solidarity of mil
lions of wage slaves with single purpose, pledge
themselves to carry on the struggle until victory
is perched on their banners and that victory will
only be realized when the institution of capitalism
is overthrow and Socialism established on it's
ruins.
1t should not be difficult this year to convince
any worker Of average intelligence that the capt.
talist system is doomed. 1t should not be difficult
to convince any working farmer, slowly crushed
to the wall by the competition of large scale farm
ing that his place in the eternal conflict between
the HAYES and the have nots is with the workers.
Today, there are approximately 100000 unem-
pioyed In the United States This army is on the
increase The United States will never again see
The day when there will not be a permanent army
OF unemployed to serve CHASTITY reminder that
capitalism has signed its own death warrant when
it cannot find employment for millions of human
beings while the warehouses are bursting with
commodities produced by labor and the banks
choked with the golden flood sucked out of the
bodies of the toilers
Seven millions of unemployed! Millions of peo-
pie hungry in a land overlooking with milk and
honey! Millions of people lacking the necessities
of life while the comparative few that own indus
try are growing richer year by year.! Millions of
bushels of wheat stored in the granaries while
millions of people turnout the world have not
loaf to eat and the breadines in our cities grow
longer! There could be no more deadly indictment
OF the capitalist system than the facts stated here
facts that cannot be refuted
While the ranks of the unemployed grow, the
voices of the capitalist politicians are raised de-
nomcmg the Communists for calling the appalling
Iacts OF unemployment to the attention of the
masses The clubs of the police are cracking the
Aeaos OF unemployed workers and the courts are
Ousy sentencing Communists to Jail, because they
alone have the will and the courage to dramatize
1ne situation with the object of organizing the
working class for the abolition of the system that
produces unemployment
The Hoover administration has pulled off fake
naval reduction conference in London at which
England, Japan and the United States agreed to
scrap few more old warshps, but the deadly
fVairy between those countries cannot be abated
by the clap trap of diplomats France and Italv
are building furiously against each other. Thew
did not even go to the trouble of making bluff
as did the three other naval powers A war is in
the offing and it will be war such as was never
experienced in the whole history of man.
Uncle Dudley in the Boston Globe once stated
that wars are gigantic commercial enterprises
ne was right Woodrow Wilson made like state
ment after he had put Eugene " Debs in Jail for
similar utterance. Debs, the revered and
heroic leader of the workingclass spoke while
the war was on. Wilson, the servant of the House
OF Morgan spoke after he had sacrificed tens of
thousands of American workers ON the battlefields
of Flanders.
The late world war was fought primarily be-
cause England wanted to kill off her rival Ger
many She succeeded for awhile but TODAY the
bremen and the Europa taunt her on the sea and
