BY ED WILLIAMS.

IN the war period of 1917 thousands of Negro
workers were lured into the army on the
bosses slogan "this war will end all wars"
Negroes will receive full equality" President
Wilson, then heading the American govern
ment, started giving the Negro this so-called
justice by appointing Negro, at that time of
Howard University as special assistant to the
secretary OF war. This department was not
set up to be of any benefit to the thousands of
Negro soldiers, but first to cover up the many
injustices outlined and carried out by the CAPT
talists, through these tools posing as represen-
tatives Of the American people. This depart
ment itself was Jim Grow depc rtment and at
its head Emmett Scott, the highly trained Neg
no tool Of the bosses.
This was just the beginning. AS the Negro
soldiers entered the camps they found out that
they were, separated from the white soldiers,
and Jim Grow ed through special sections The
Negro soldiers received many abuses at the
hands of their so-called superior officers.
Now the American capitalists are preparing
another war. We can see clearly through their
"peace" conferences and disarmament" con-
ferences that in reality they are preparing
their attack against the Soviet Union, the only
workers am. farmers government To do this
successfully y y American impeiialists must
gain the confidence Of the American workers.
One Of the sections of the working class is
composed of women workers Thousands of
mothers gave their sons and husbands up to be
slaughtered in the last war. So in order to
prepare them TO again fall for their vandalism,
they mapped out plan, "Honor the Gold Star
mothers of the soldiers who died in the war"
That is to send the mothers of these workers to
visit the graves Of their sons, just another idea

workers at the unemployed lines, at the fac
tory gate meetings, for selling and distribut-
ing the Daily Worker, and the Auto Workers
News. Both camps are the parties of the
bosses fighting against every interest of the
workers. A vote on the part of any worker
for Mr. Bowles or any of the recall group is
a vote against the workers. Is a vote for
unemployment. for low wages, for speed-up
Is vote for police terror, for brutal falling
and arrests for any worker who attempts to
fight the starvation campaign of the BOSSES
A vote for any of these capitalist politicians is
vote for discrimination of the Negro toilers
whom Mr.. Bowles is now trying to win in this
campaign through the political appointment of
Negro doctor who fights against his own
race and side by side with the white bosses
and politicians. Mr.. Gillespie through his De-
partment of Public Works has compelled Me-
gro workers to work for nothing for months
in return for the measly sum received from
the Welfare Department. Both groups of poll
ticans have carried out the worst discrimina-
ton against foreign born workers.
Real Issues of Campaign.
With the Ford plant completely shut down,
with tens of thousands of workers being laid
off every day, with the slashing of wages
everywhere, with the increasing speed-up, with
the throwing out of workers from their homes
for non-payment of rent or in the case of
those workers who have been fooled by the
real estate sharks to buy homes, being thrown
out by the mortgage sharks, and for nom
payment of taxes. with the bosses terror being
increased throughout the country, with the
bosses openly preparing for another imperial
list war and particularly to attack the Soviet
Union, with the present economic crisis grow
ing deeper every day and the bosses attempt
to solve this crisis at the expense of the mis-
cry and starvation of the Masses the issues
before the workers call for a serious fight
against all the capitalists politicians, in the
republican party, the democratic party, and
the third capitalist party--the socialist party,
and particularly the Martels and the other
labor takers of the A. F. of L. who try to
barter the workers votes now to one capital
list politician, now to another, depending upon
the price they, receive 1t calls for the ex-
posure of the so-called progressive" politi-
clans of the type Of Senator Couzens and
Judge Edward Jeffres who with sweet para
phrases perform the best services to the capt.
talsts in the carving through Of the attacks
against the workers.

The BoWles Recall Election and
the Workers of Detroit
A Message of the Communist Party to the
Workers

A Message of the Communist Party to the
Workers.
m July % there will be held a special cleo
ton in the city of Detroit to decide on the
recall of Mayor Charles Bowles If the voters
by majority decide to recall Mayor Bowles
then there will be held a new election for
mayor within a month. Both the Bowles-
Gillespie machine supported by Henry Ford
and the recall forces led by Oakman- Emmons
Co. and supported by powerful business
men, the Chamber of Commerce and politi-
clans will come to the workers for their votes
Each will appeal to the people" as the only
true representative of the peoples" interests.
Both Camps Against Toers.
The workers of Detroit must know that both
camps, part of the Hoover republican ma
chine nationally are sections of the most pow
erful capitalist party in the country. Both
camps are equally fighting against the inter-
ests of the workers. Both the Bowes camp
and the recall forces offer nothing but low
wages, speed-up, unemployment and police
terror to the workers. The differences that
exist among these enemies of the workers are
not differences in any sense in the interests
Of the workers. 1t is fight among two rob-
Der bands for greater share of the booty
taken out of the sweat and blood of the work
ers. 1t is fight between the auto bosses,
the big real estate owners, the public utility
interests, the big bootleggers, and the organ
lied underworld, organized groups of politi-
clans to decide who of these exploiting groups
shall have the decisive say in the matter of
taxes, giving out of contracts and the collec-
ton of graft, who shall collect tribute from
the underworld. 1t is also reflection of the
struggle of the powerful capitalist trusts both
in Detroit and nationally for example with
in the auto industry itself, and among the
ious industries nationally as reflected in the
struggles in the United States Senate.
Bowles- EmmOns md Unemployment.
The workers have already learned through
their own experiences that both Bowles and
the principal figures in the recall movement
Ex-Poce Chief Emmons, are the deadly enc
mics of the workers. You have seen that both
had only brutal clubbings and mass jaings
for the hundrel thousand unemployed who
gathered at the City Hall on March 9Th to
demand bread We have seen how the police
under Mr. Emmons and with the consent Of
Mr.. Bowles and now again under Mr.. Wilcox
who is famous for his red raids and attacks
on foreign born, are clubbing and arresting

THE coal operators in the anthracite have
been carrying on a hectic campaign against
Soviet coal for number of months. This cam
paign was not only directed against Eoviet coal
as such, but v as used as the basis for melting
the miners against the Soviet Union.
The reason for this intensification of the
campaign against - U. S. S. R. is due to the
remarkable sehis ..oa.~ts of Russian industry
and agriculture AFTER the Five-Year Plan.
American impcrsu.ts see their own markets
rapidly shrinking. They see their own
nomic system in a deep crisis
On the other hand they zee that in the So
Wet Union production increases in industry
and agriculture. They see that the conditions
of the masses are becoming better.
Lies, SANDER, intensification of war prepare
tions against the U. S. S. r. is the answer of
the bourgeoisie. Raise the cry of Convict
labor" Lie like the devil about the actual
conditions of the Russian masses.
But in the meantime the crisis gets sharper.
The bosses everywhere must lower the cost of
production of commodities in order to compete
with and against each other-and in order to
retain control of the markets.
In the anthracite, negotiations are be-
tween the Lewis machine, and the coal opera
tors regarding a new agreement. The opera
tors first demanded an outright wage cut.
Lewis informed them that this would be too
raw and that in spite of all he could do the
miners would fight back. Therefore the opera
tors brought in the proposal that there should
be no wage scale whatsoever-and instead
permanent commission be established to "study
the question o. wages and make all necessary
adjustments" This means in effect the carry
ing through II systematic wage reductions
throughout the anthracite. While the commits
sion will be making its "studies"--the operators
will be making the reductions in wages.
The operators demand that all grievance
committees be abolished. Although the griev-
ance committees in the U. NJ w. A. long ago
dropped all pretext of fighting in the interests
of the miners; nevertheless there have been

BY ]. RAPAPORT.

A DEMONSTRATION was held on Whitehall
Street little over year ago. 1t was in
protest against the bloody attack of the So
cialist chief of police in Germany upon the
Berlin workers on the First of May of 1929.
The protest demonstration had been arranged
by New York District of the Communist Party.
Bert Miller, the banner carrier of Lovestonism,
was the organizer The preparatory work was
done in a very conspirative manner. At the
unit meetings comrades were asked to come to
certain place and they were not told why
and for what purpose. In the Party press, in
a small box, the Party members were called
to the headquarters of the Marine Workers
League, without explanation.
At the mentioned place, at noon, small
group of comrades gathered. Banners with
slogans were distributed among the 60-70 COM
rades. Two by two they left the hall and went
to Whitehall St. to march in front of the
German consulate. One policeman was at the
stairs and did not know what to do The only
objection he had was because Miller started to
speak without an American flag. Meanwhile,
the demonstrators made an attempt to sing
Solidarity" but the voices did not carry as
the line was very small.
A large crowd had gathered consisting main
ly of young office workers and the small group
of demonstrators looked lost in the thick of
the crowd that started to antagonize the DEM
constructors Suddenly one of the hostile by
ISLANDERS got hold of one of the banners and
tore it. That like a signal and very soon
the demonstrators were dispersed and the
crowd had raised lynching sentiment, many
comrades were actually beaten up by the fas-
cists among the white collar slaves
This was demonstration with the Lovestone
methods of taking the police by surprise and
preparing the camera men of the newspapers
to get publicity. A demonstration to have a
report in the Daily Worker and a column in
the "Times."
Another Demonstration.
The other demonstration on Whitehall Street
was held Saturday, June %, to protest against
the imperiaist rule of the social fascist premier
of England in India and in the other colonial
and sem-colonial countries.
This protest demonstration had also been ar
ranged by the New York District of the Party.
The Party press carried call to all workers
to come and express solidarity with the revou-
tionary masses of India. And the response was
a real mass response. In spite of the expert
ence that workers had with the previous pro-
test demonstrations Haiti, Katovis protest,
March 81 where the police showed the most
vicious brutality, by clubbing beating and ar
resting the demonstrators, regardless of age
or sex-in spite of that, and in spite of the
fact that everyone who came to the demonstra-
ton knew that the police would repeat their at
