FAKE AND REAL ISSUES IN
NEW JERSEY ELECTIONS

that as a paramount fake issue, prohibition |
promised great potentialities.
Through the length and width of industrial |
New Jersey, Morrow proclaimed that the great
issue facing the workers is no less than pro-
hibition. And to dramatic the farce, two of
the three-cornered republican candidates are
"drys," with Morrow the apostle of mild
wetness" 1t was not until he made his third
important speech at Atlantic City that Nor
row made known his position on issues other
than prohibition and the refusal to kiss babies
to get the vote.
MoTow's position on unemployment? Yes,
Morgan's partner recognizes that capitalists
naturalization is an actuality and that mil
lions of workers are to be pushed out of in
dustry permanently, "Old processes go and
new processes come in their places; this rem
ders a certain amount of unemployment I'M
avoidabe." And for Solution" of the prob
lem he goes back to the crisis of 1921 and
Harding's method of handling it which was
the calling of bosses conferences and lower
ing of the standard of living of the masses.
And now Hoover is Saving" the country by
doing the same thing and Morrow acknowl-
edges that Hoover is his political guide. But
suddenly Morrow sees the light of his own in
spration.
After all is said and done the most effec-
men themselves. Translated into the day-to-
day lives of the workers it means that Morrow
will be in the front ranks of the capitalist
class in their vast campaign to bascally lower
the traditional standard of life of the great
masses of American workers and poor farm
ers. This Wall Street man declares in no
minced words that he understands and will
lead the attack on the working class, especial
ly of New Jersey, by utilization of the gov
e.nmental power to force the workers to ac-
cept wage-cuts, longer hours of work, speed
up unemployment, starvation and attendant
miseries.
Morrow Praises American Federation of
Labor.
Morrow has word of praise for the Amer
lean Federation of Labor unions of New Jer-
sey. In his Atlantic City speech he made
known to his fellow Wall Street imperialists
that the A. F. of L. officials are invaluable
allies. "Trade unions and labor generally
have cooperated by increasing productivity in
manner and to degree never before
thought possible"
Already a terrific drive against the work
ers of New Jersey has started with a frontal
attack against the Communist Party and the
revolutionary unions Of the Trade Union
Unity League.
On February 18th nine workers were ar
rested at an Unemployed Council meeting
and charged with "sedition." One of the I'M
employed leaders, Dominick Flaian, New Jer-
sey organizer of the Communist Party, has al
ready been sentenced to up to II years in
prison for his part in organizing the jobless.
Arrests of speakers, distributors of literature
is daily occurrence. The machinery of CAPT
talist state government is geared for action
against the workers.
1t is under such circumstances that the COM
munist Party of New Jersey is organizing the
workers for the state and congressional cleo
tions and to utilize to the full the parlia-
mental fight to bring to the workers the real
issues confronting them.
