BREAK THROUGH THE LIES
OF THE CAPITALIST PRESS!

by the whoehearted support and vigilance of the
workers.
The counter-plans of the workers all along
the line defeated the wreckers' offensive and
gained tremendous victories for socialist con-
struction.
The now thoroughly smashed right wing, on
the other hand effectively expressed the wreck
ers aim to slow down the socialist tempo and
in this way to prepare the ground for irherven-
ton.
Professor Ramsin's testimony threw light on
his personality. He tried to present his work
as scientific and objective. Under questioning,
however, he was forced to admit he had drawn
the rmo-Technical Institute which he head
ed, into wrecking work. This exposes the hypo-
crisy of the bourgeois prattle about pure
science"
The international lie and SANDER campaign
continues as a cloak for the intervention plans.
The Riga liars unearth new Ukrainian revolts,
Kharkov arrests, etc. The talk of Norman Thorn
as, regarding Soviet terror" is a smoke screen
to deceive the American masses. Thomas is a
Comrade of the French Socialists who Milukov
said, according to the testimony of Yurovsky,
the second witness of last nights session, could
be depended on to support the intervention.
Poincare, the vicious leader of the French
imperialist plots now adopts a new line in a
recent article just published Instead of a
blanket denial he takes a defensive stand. The
American workers must break through the lies
of the capitalist press and the socialist agents
who mask the role of American imperialism,
which is in the forefront of the anti-Soviet war
campaign.
The defense of the proetarian fatherland is
the chief and immediate task.

A Typical Case

John Burns who was sick, out of a job and
hungry, gets no bonus.
Why was he at the State Labor Department?
Some more of this official business. Early in
October he worked for Woolworth and dime
stores He worked on the paper bailer. While
working his arm was broken; it was pretty bad,
broken in two places. The doctor for the bosses
insurance company took care OF his arms. Put
cast around it and all that. After awhile they
took the casts off and said, Nov, you're all
right, you can go to work again" But wasn't
all right" Burns explained to me. Il couldn't
move my arm yet. I can't even move it now.
He showed me his arm 1t was in sling. "They
only gave me two weeks compensation" This
happened in october and he hasn't been able to
work sire No one wants man with onefarm
in the sling. There are too many men who can't
get work who have two good arms. BY this
time he had no money and was behind in his
rent. So he sold all the clothes he had, to
raise the rent. But the rent is coming due
again and he doesn't know where he is going to
get it this time. He explained his situation to
the women at the State Labor Department. Did
you fill out blank?" she asked him indiffer-
emily She is big woman, this lady. No sunken
cheeks about her and I don't suppose she has
to worry about the rent either.
That's all the satisfaction John Burns could
get from the State Labor Department The in
stitution to help" workers get what belongs to
them from the bosses "How l&ng will I have to
wait" Burns asked How should I know" an
swered this sweet woman. "As long as you have
to, 1 guess"
Meanwhile John Burns is hungry All his
clothes are gone and in week or two he will
be on the street because he has no rent money.
We left the Labor Department together and
as we walked he told me more about himself
Two years ago ne got married. He wasn't feel
ing So bad then. He had job and could work
Then his health began to fail He didn't know
just what it was He lost his job And then
the worst blow of all, his wife left him
How about the American Legion?" I sud-
denly thought of asking him.
Those bastards wouldn't help you. All they
do is have parades and big Murray meetings and
anyway I'm not member any more because
I can't pay my dues"
So this is the case of John Burns, who fought
for the bosses in the world war and worked for
them during peace time and now all he can look
forward TO is the bread line and a flop in the
municipal lodging house.

Organizing the Fight of the
e Unemployed

the Unemployed Councils can get in touch with
all families to be evicted, and organize the
resistance.
The question Of organization Of Tenants
Leagues was also discussed, and referred to the
executive committee for the working out of prac-
teal details.
After the disposal of other business, such as
for the Unemployed Insurance Bill, the meeting
was thrown open for discussion number OF
unemployed workers took the floor, and told OF
the terrific conditions among the unemployed
and how best to carry on the struggle for their
demands.
One worker reported that yesterday he had
heard over a friends radio, on station WNYC,
debate on the subject of Unemployment In
surance And why is this an issue, comradesp
Because the Unemployed Councils, the Commu-
mist Party and the Daily Worker have made it
an ISSUE This goes to show that our campaign
is having an effect. And we are only begin
ming"
Throughout the entire meeting, there was q
fine fighting and practical spirit shown
Toward the close, a worker rose and said:

AT the State Labor Department, 9th st. near
n 4th Ave, you can find many tragic cases of
men and women who have been injured while
working for the bosses and because OF the in
Jury unable to work and with it all unable to
collect their tust compensation. There is all
sorts of red tape to go Through; applications,
doctor certificates, proofs of injury, time date,
explanations You have to wait they tell you,
You might be starving, you might be in the
worst Straights, it makes no difference the an
swer is the same, You'll just have to wait"
There is the case of John Burns. He came
in late this afternoon. He looked very tired
and sick. He sank down on the hard bench and
sat there for short while before he could get
up enough strength to tell what he wanted. He
sat there with a dead look on his face. His
cheeks were Sunken in, there were deep blue hol-
lows around his eyes, his forehead was drawn
from nervous strain and exhaustion.
John Burns wore as CLOTHES an old army coat,
shabby pants and shoes that surely were no
comfort to his feet. That army coat though it
was given to him by the government cost John
a big price. 1t cost him his memory. He went
to France to fight for his country to make
United States safe for democracy. That's what
they told him, gave him gun and sent him in.
He didn't know just what this democracy would
mean to him but they made it3sound quite i'm

MOSCoW.-Under Krylenkos questioning, La
wi richev and Charnovsky were forced to admit
detailed Wrecking activities in various branches
of the fuel industry to prepare for intervention.
Larichev said in the Donetz Basin the wreckers
first proposed in the original Five-Year Plan the
raising Of the coal production from 100000 to
100000 tons Kalinikov objected that the fig
ures were too low, and would arouse suspicion.
later the figures were raised to 100000, but
the workers replied by producing 100000
On the question of how the latter was possible,
Larichev replied that the Counter-plans of the
workers themselves particularly since the eX-
pesure of the shakhty plot. defeated the wreck
ers.
.sLarichev said the wreeRe.s tried to minimize
the Importance of the Ku5bas coal fields and to
play up Donbas, in order TO prevent the develop
n1ent of al-Kuzbas-netaf-coal combination.
(Donbas can also more easily be cut off in case
or war;. Nevertheless, Stain at the Sixteenth
Party Congress stressed the tremendous import
ance of the Ural-KuzbaS combination. This shows
the wrecking activities could not be accomplished
as France wanted them to be because: l. The
correctness of the Communist arty line, andP the
correctness of the Communist Party line, and the
leadership of Comrade Stain; 2. The increased
participation of the workers in every phase OF
socialist construction as evidenced by the new
Donbas record.
The testimony of the entire trial is decisive
vindication of the Party line, which did not fall
for either the minimum or maximum proposals
of the wreckers, but pursued clear course, aided

solution for the unemployed problem. The work
ers through organizing will solve their problem
of their misery. Unemployed Councils must be
built to demand unemployment insurance to
be paid by the capitalist bosses, and the build
ing up of revolutionary industrial unions will
prevent the bosses attacks toward the lower
ing of the workers standards of living, speed
ups etc. And the Communist Party leading the
workers in their struggles will lead them to an
objective revolutionary point The abolshing
of the capitalist system, which is the cause of
all the workers misery. and only by forcible
overthrow of capitalism will the workers solve
their problem.

this in your column with any comment, you may
wish and tell us what is wrong with the Party
in Providence?
AT the mill where l work I was approached
by a member of the socialist labor party and

wrong and that I should attend Communist

rived at said hall for my first lesson on Funda-
mehtals of Communism was welcomed by
fellow named Armstrong, who someone told me
was on the ballot for mayor of Providence and
I must say that after listening to him during
discussion in the evening l was glad that he
was defeated, this 1 mean for the welfare .of
city. ~
Anyway, the class was opened by fellow
who they called Comrade Saul, and who stopped
speaking now and then to feed the fire In the
stove with Daily Workers.
After Saurs open class, discussion was
soon in progress between Armstrong and Saul on
Botany Armstrong maintaining that vegetable
life, like the human race, was composed of male
and female. &
Nov, Sparks, will you please let me know Il
that is Communism, or is the Communist PARTY
trying to make joke of the workers AS / am
not interested in Botany or vegetable life, do
not think that I will attend the next class II,

Who Said There Is Food
Shortage in Russia?

By GEO. KATSIOLIS

1t is very regrettable that all the capitalist
malicious lies about food shortage in Russia are
affecting even large percentage of comrades
into believing such absurd and ridiculous asser-
tions Some ex-leading members are amongst
such believers and the worst is that even the
editorial staff Of one of our foreign language
weeklies doubted the accuracy and refused TO
print a statistical treatise which indicated that
the bread grain production was greater in Russia
than was in the United States.
1 feel certain that VIC will never eniighten the
rest of the workers about facts of which we re-
main ignorant ourselves. Therefore we will
quote statistics from the Commerce Year Book

AS for 1880, statistics are arriving in small
doses, and while the Soviet production of wheat
and rye alone in 1929 amounted to 1851, 770,O 900
bushels, the Economic Review of the Soviet Union
of Nov. LIST informs us that these two grains
alone during the present year made q gain Of
36 per cent over 1929 which means a gain of
551, $4,000 bushels making the total production

barley remained the same as last year we have
