The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-08-02
Demand the Dissolution
OF the Fish Committee!

workers WILL proceed stubbOrnly,
step by step, to transform your
imperiaist war against the Soviet
Union into a civil war of workers
against capitalists.
You raise a cry against the rev.
dictionary workers, charging us
with being the bearers of violence
and bloodshed." But it is a matter
of record in this committee that
violence and bloodshed is the policy
of your police against the revolu-
tionary workers. Look at the dead
bodies of Ella May Virgins, Steve
Katovis, Alfrey Levy, Gonzalo Con-
zalez, Herzel Weisenberg, killed by
the police on the streets or by your
friends" of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Look at the mon
strous lynchings of Negro workers,
occurring almost every week in the
South, committed by the supporters
of those very congressman who sit
on this committee, and of which
there is not even a suggestion of
investigating, on the part of cap
italist congress. You are not the
enemies of violence and bloodshed,"
you are the foremost practitioners
of violence and bloodshed against
the workers and Negroes.
The Communists help the work.
ers and Negro masses to organize
and fight against your lynchings,
against your violence and blood
shed, and for complete equality
and self determination for the Ne
gro masses.
The Communists organize the
workers to fight against wage-cuts
and against the murderous speed-up
in the factories.
The Communists demand that the
billions of dollars being spent for
war and war preparations shall be
used for social insurance for the
workers.
The Communists demand and fight
for the seven-hour day and the five
day week for all workers.
The Communists demand the dis
solution of the Fish anti-labor COM
mittee.
These are the real Grimes" of
the Communists in the eyes of all
capitalists and supporters of capital
ism.
These are the reasons why you
sent to prison the unemployment
delegation - Foster, Minor, Amter
and Raymond. This is why you can
not even depend upon your own
hand-picked juries to send Commu-
nists to prison, but must deny them
their constitutional right, rush them
before corrupt and criminal Tam
many judges whose crimes stink to
high heaven even in capitalist So
ciety, and who, because they are
themselves criminals, rejoice to send
Communists to prison on any pre-
text.
These are the reasons why six
labor organizers in Georgia (includ-
ing two girls and two Negroes) find
the capitalist state demanding the
death sentence for the crime of or
ganizing joint meetings of white
and Negro workers.
These are the reasons why seven
labor organizers in Imperial Valley,
CAL, are sent to prison for AZ years,
for the "crime" of organizing an
agricultural workers union.
These are the reasons why this
investigating committee is seeking
for pretexts to enact new laws, new
measures, to still further and more
effectively suppress the working
class.
The workers see growing unem-
ployment, wage-cuts, starvation, and
violent suppression as their lot in
the United States under capitalism.
They see in the Soviet Union
great country where unemployment
is being abolished, where social in
surance protects every man, woman,
and child, where wages constantly
increase, where all are fed, and
where the workers themselves con-
troll the government.
Can you wonder that they turn
more and more to the Soviet Union,
and to the Communist Party which
has made all these achievements
possible?
The Communist Party declares
that also in the United States the
working class, learning the lessons
taught by the Russian October Rev
olution and its great leader, Lenin,
will also establish the government
of the workers and farmers and
abolish the economic system of cap
italism.
"If t hat be treason, make the
most of it,"
