We Haze Become Infected
With the "Let George Do

cts Prosper.
SAYS:

borrowing a page from big
- business, Scarface Al Capone
will take his enemies into partner
ship and form a vice trust.

New York mobilizes his IA inspec-
tors to fight the food racket.

Of breath and have to retire, but re-
main strictly neutral.
OF all three episodes, the last is
easily the most ennghtening.
Strict neutrality on the part OF
spectators goes a long way toward
explaining our troubles.
We have become infected with the
let George do it" idea.
Given a statute and a cop on the
corner, we have come to feel that
conscience requires nothing more.

Almost a BenefaCtor


THE Capone program is not only
4 in line with our most improved
methods, but with our most cher
ished ideals.
If he can eliminate hi-jackers
from the beer racket, and reduce
the exposure of innocent byStanders
to machine gun bullets, he will have
accomplished something which de-
serves our gratitude and which will
enable us to continue the strictly
neutral pose with a still greater de-
gree of complacency.
Since we appear unable to stop,
or control racketeering by the regu-
lar agencies of constituted author
ity, how could a genius who entered
the breach be regarded otherwise
than as a real benefactor?
Cheer up! Sarface Al may go 70
congress yet, or be chosen a
of some great financial institution,
with the crowd forgetting its strict
neutrality long enough to applaud.

What is the difference between
direct and alternating electric cur
rent?
Direct current always flows in
the same direction. Alternating
current reverses in direction at
regular intervals, increasing from
zero to its maximum strength and
decreasing to zero with the current
flowing in one direction and then,
with the current flowing in the
opposite direction, similarly in
creasing to zero. The current con-
tinues to vary rapidly in direction
and in strength

Tariff Refrihuticn

Almost every day there news stories from this
country and abroad showing the evil effects of the
Hawley Smoot billion-dollar tariff on American en-
ployment and prosperity Yesterday there were four
rst-page stories indicating the growth of the trade
war we have started and from which we are suffer-
ing so seriously.
AT Geneva twenty-seven nations voted to put be-
fore the League of Nations the BRAND plan for a
federation aimed in part at making Europe an eco
nomic unit against American exports
Arriving from European tour, Senator Barley
announced that foreign trade losses from higher
tariff wall had revived agitation among European
nations for cancellation of their American debts
1t is the European payment these debts which
helped to make possible an American tax reduction,
and without which there must be tax increase.
Or the same day the British industrialist, Lord
Melchet, speaking in New York, warned us that our
tariff skyrocketing is forcing Great Britain, leading
low tariff country, to resort to high protective tariff
against our goods.
And also on the same day in Ottawa the message
from the throne opening the special session of the
Canadian parliament forecast further upward tariff
revision in direct retaliation against the Hawley-
Smoot blow at Canadian trade.
Thus our two largest world customers, Britain and
Canada, taking steps to cut off the flow Of goods
from the United States. And this is happening at
a time when we least afford those losses, when
thousands of American factories closed or on part
time and when millions of workers are jobless.
The tariff started by us is more than threat;
It is an accomplished fact. 1t accounts in part for
the fall of our export trade to the lowest point since
1915. Our exports now are running more than one
third behind last year, with the loss in July alone
more than 133,OOO,0OO.
In view of these cold facts the campaign apologlss
for the new suicidal tariff law properly very much
worried about the fall elections.

Al FOll0WS Big BUSINESS
WYE have called Capone and his
w gang about everything print
able, but apart from that we have
remained strictly neutral, taking
the show as we do a Hollywood
thriller. and paying the price
without too much protest, because
of the entertainment it affords.
And if Scarface Al wants to put
over a merger, what does it amount
to, except one more big business
enterprise, and what principles are
involved except those which Rookie
Teller applied to oil fifty years ago?
Capone shows himself in step
with the time, not only by wanting
to eliminate competition, but be-
cause of his declared aim to avoid
bloodShed.
Indeed, one might make a good
Rotarian speech on his venture,
especially as it centers around the
laudable desire of reducing gang
murder, and, more especially still,
because of the signal failure of our
law-enforcement machinery.
Service, efficiency, cooperation
and more reliable peace-alI these
enter into the Capone scheme and
all have been touted by our best
minds as worthwhile detectives.

Easier to Be Neutral

TINE Russians have a system, the
4 fascists have system, and we
Americans have a system, not only
to improve government, but salvage
the whole human race.
Why shouldn't the crowd remain
strictly neutral, no matter what
happens?
Why shouldn't parents leave it to
the school, or citizens to the cop?
Five million people arrested in
this country each year. half a
million walking in and out OF
prison; $16,OOO,OOO,OOO, or one-sixth
of the national income, going as
tribute to criminals and racketeers-
why shouldn't some captain of in
dustry come forward to organize the
business?

HARD HIT BY CRISIS

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-The eco
nomic crisis in Wisconsin which has
affected the workers and poor farm
ers has also hit doubly hard the
thousands of Indians in this state.
1t is already admitted that the In
dams who are engaged in farming
or guiding tourists or working in the
lumber camps face the most severe
winter in their history. Charles E.
Brown of the State Historical Mu-
scum Ito the capitalist parasites the
Indian masses are only an historical
curiosity to be studied admits that
many Wisconsin Indians this year
face a hard winter. They are prac-
tically without warm clothing, food
or money. Many Indians are ask
ing assistance" Here in the state of
Wisconsin which the La Follettes and
the socialists say is so progressive"
the doubly oppressed Indians are not
allowed in the regular schools, are
isolated and allowed to starve.

SO. RICH LADIES SEEKING THRILLS
HOLD FAKE ANTI-LYNCH CONFERENCE
Limit Call to Society Women-Refuse Ad-
mission to |. L. d. Representative and
Daily Worker Reporter
Same Group Used to Hold Conferences Against
"Cruelty to Animals" But Stopped
Getting Thrills Out of That
BY JENNIE COOPER

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 5.-The bour-
geois ladies of this city and vicinity,
having got tired of the Cruelty to
Animals" conference and seeking now
thrills to while their idle hours away,
decided that a conference '"to COM
1T lynching" (by empty phrases)
Id re just the thing.
The call was seat out by Mrs.
Jennie Daniel Ames, head OF the
local fake Commission on Inter-Ra-
cial Cooperation. The conference was
called for November / at 10 a. m.
Particular pains were exercised not to
send invitations to the class struggle
organizations, like the International
Labor Defense. American Negro La
Dor Congress, ETC., since it was known
that these stand for a real fight on
lynching.
The I. L. D. sent its representative
anyway. The representative was told
Eyes, we know of your organization,
but we are indeed sorry we cannot
let you In" This conference, they
told the representative, is called of
prominent southern women who want
to talk matters over-just talk mat
tiers over! They do not wish to have
outsiders present.
The same information was given
Daily Worker reporter who tried
to attend to report the proceedings.
The rich ladies who just wanted to
get few thrills out of the brutal
lynchings Of Negroes by their class,
refused to let the reporter in. "they
had their own press representative, :"
they say.
The I. L. D. calls upon all workers
to support real anti-lynching con-
ference-that called by the American
Negro Labor Congress for November
8 at Chattanooga.

SeditiOn Trial of
Scott Opens i'm Wheel
ing, w. Va, Today

The District Organizer of the
Young Communist League, Comrade
Tom Scott goes to trial in Wheeling,
West Virginia, on November 9Th.
The charge against him is "sedi-
ton" which if executed means SEN
tence Of ten to twenty years. The
trial takes place in a town which is
nationally known as a seat of black
reaction.
Conrade Scott was arrested on
August First at the demonstration
against imperialist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union. The
charge of "sedition" against him is
another indication of the growing
campaign of persecution against the
Young Communist League in this
District.
The District Committee calls upon
all young and adult workers to save
Comrade Scott from a long Jail term.
This we can do only through organic
ing powerful movement against the
sedition laws and for the right of the
workers to free speech and assembly.
Smash the terror of the bosses!
To the defense of Comrade Scott and
other class war prisoners!

located and closely guarded from

usual methods of the steel companies
through their coal and iron police,
but also by special squad of stool
pigeons who are purposely planted
as workers" in the mills, was show
cred by Communist leaflets on Mon
day afternoon by an aeroplane
passing over the town.
In Aliquippa no one who looks like
worker, is permitted to enter unless
he has a job at the mill Recently a
comrade that dared to enter this
town by bus was ordered by the
company police to Immediately board
an outgoing bus.
Three comrades are now serving a
5-year sentence in penintentiary
under trumped up charges of "sedi-
ton" for merely celebrating the 18th
anniversary of the Soviet Revolution
in this Mellon town.
The dropping of thousands of Com
nlunist election campaign leaflets was
Joyously greeted by the workers and
shock to the company.
To the bosses it seemed that an
enemy airplane attack was taking
place and sure enough they were not
mistaken.
The steel companies of Monessen
and McKeesport are having their own
troubles. Wherever they turn they see
red and 1t makes them wild, as the
red on the walls contains Communist
slogans and Vote Communist,
Crowds of workers gathered watch

hgently, scraping off the terrible
handwriting on the wall. Some OF
this writing has been done so well
that they have to employ stonecutters
to chip it of from the rocks.

CUT PAY OF SILK WORKERS

WINCHESTER, Va. (FP). - The
boss cut wages 10 per cent and find
ing the Flamingo silk mill workers
still on the job, decided that another
little 8 per cent cut wouldn't do any
harm. That was too much for the

to reconsider and the weavers, unor-
ganized, went back.
