The Honorable Marcus Carney, the

Contrasted With His Victims.
There he stands, contented and
happy, living in magnificent home
and enjoying all the luxuries of
life, while the poor working people
who subscribed the money for his
high prosperity are still living in the
lowest degree of poverty. His Black
Cross Navigation Company, and the
steamship Booker T. Washington

tant memories now, but every day
we come in contact with the poor
people who toiled day and night, and
even starved themselves and their
children so as to make purchase of
that boat possible, and as they pour
out their troubles to us, we cannot
help recall the disastrous cruise of
that vessel.
I well remember in 1925 when Mar
Gus Carney was using his slick tongue
and imposing bulk to urge the Negro
people Of the world to subscribe to
the purchase of a Negro steamship
line. Negro workers, groaning under
the oppression and insults of the
white bosses and anxious for a way
out, had entirely forgotten the les
sons of the failure of the Black Star
Line. They we're again easy victims
of Garvey's guile when he urged
them to dig down and shell out once

Bubble Exploded
(By a Worker Correspondent)

by a Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK.-Sears, Roebuck &
Co. of Chicago sold stock to the ma
jority of its 10000 employees at the
peak of business when quoted at 100
on the stock market, with the "laud-
able ambition" of all these poor
workers to share in the great melon
worth between 00,OOO,O0O.0O and a
billion dollars. But the golden melon
proved to be an inflated bubble for
the deluded workers as the stock fell
down to so and is only worth $780,
100000 with the opposite results of
what they expected from their in
vestments.
For not only did they lose all their
earnings in favor of their bosses but
they still owe the company half of
their shares, to be collected out of
their future earnings. Those that
are fully paid up would not get 30
per cent of their investment.
What fine sample of equality, of
opportunity for all, including wage
earners when we compare the $4,000
investment with Mr.. Rosenwald,
president of the Sears, Roebuck 81
Co., whose fortune is valued between
3o0,oO0,oo0 and $4oO,0oO,oOO.00.

Hoover Institutes on
Best Way of Taking
Unemployed Figures

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. %
Complete, detailed instructions for
taking unemployment figures are
given in the Journal of the American
Statistical Association for September
1880.
The trick consists mainly in leav-
ing out of consideration all workers
who have been denied employment
because they are at or past middle
age-the deadline set by the profit
grabbers. These workers are not
really unemployed, the boss figure
butcher eXplains-they are persons
who have succumbed to enforced re-
tirement" after continued failure to
find a job.
Hoover has already instructed his
hunger committee to leave out of
consideration all workers who were
unemployed when the depression"
struck. They number about one
million, he says. No "relief" is even
suggested for these unfortunates, or
for the enforced retirement" vic
tins, who number several million
more. These millions of hungry
workers will not appear in Hoover's
faxed unemployment report, but they
sure will look good in the Communist
election returns.
You hungry jobless workers.!
Hoover has left you out in the cold!
But turnabout is fair play. Leave
the pot-bellies out in the cold cleo
ton day. Vote Communist!

They are all foreigners and that's

At this point he lowered his voice
and said: are you all registered.
Everybody said yes. So he said, when
you go vote therell be man that
if you'll vote for the democratic

He left the place, followed him.
I saw him enter a 9 floor building

SEATTLE, Wash.--I was selling

my arm, when stool-pigeon
grabbed the papers from behind
tearing two Of them. I was quick
enough to get all of the papers
back except one. While he was
doing this cop was looking on, but
did nothing to stop the stool-pigeon.
1t looked as if the cop wanted me
to get into a fight so that he could
arrest me.
Ate" this I went up town to sell
the papers, when man came up
to me and tried to pick a fight.
Just then plain clothes man came
up and said to me, "Keep still or
! will put you in jail"! I told him
i was an ex-soldier out Of work, and
a was doing this to get something
to eat. Then he threw a lot Of
questions at me which I refused to
answer--about membership in the
Communist Party, etc. Then he
said, "Why don't you sell good

for the workers and ex-soldiers.

Bloody MachadO Finds
Another ''Red PlOt;"
Fascist Rule in Peru

That Communist conspiracy" to
overthrow the Machado regime was
discovered by the police, is the an
nouncement made to the Associated
Press.
Numerous students and Commit
nists were involved in the "conspir-
acy" says the cable dispatch from
Havana. The overthrow of the gov
eminent, according to Butcher Mach
ado, was to take place right before
the November 1st elections. Students
we're supposed to be organized into
groups which were to revolt stimuli
taneously in different parts Of the
country. Since the so-called con-
spiracy was discovered, the police
have begun search of numerous
houses looking for arms and NUM-
tons" The report states that many
arrests have been made in connection
with this plot" Machado orders
frequent discoveries of plots and he
follows with the usual arrests. Many
Communists are now in danger of
murder in Machado's jails.
Reports from Lima, Peru. show the
growing fascist measures of the new
government. Congress has suspended
Article 156 of the Constitution, which
permits military authorities to pun
ish civilians who propagate alarm
ing false notices or attacks on the
armed forces"

Supposed to receive, we were forced

Legion Wants Them

Continued from Page u
kee, undoubtedly under Socialist in
fluence, goes further. 1t is demand
ing that the unemployed be enlisted
in the army for the duration of the
crisis" so that these unemployed
can be used to club and shoot their
fellow workers who fight for bread.
Austin A. Peterson, State Adjutant
of Wisconsin, says this scheme
would teach men army routine,
which would be valuable in time of
war"
The plan was offered as substi-
tute to unemployment insurance"
and in reply to the Communist de-
mand that the war funds amounting
to billions, be turned over to the
unemployed workers in the form of
jobless insurance.
Hoover is working closely with
every charity outfit in the country,
who are already admitting that their
funds will not be big enough to buy
sufficient slop for the same number
of unemployed who stood in the
breadlines last winter. The talk
about supplying jobs is fast disap-
pearing, and the ugly aspects of the
boss maneuvers against the unem-
ployed as we'll as the employed, is
becoming clearer. While talk has
quieted down about the "stagger"
system, this wage cut drive is being
put into effect.
Against this boss mobilization of
all its black hundreds against the
unemployed, the workers must or
ganize their forces for a concerted
drive for unemployment insurance,
to come out Of the bosses profits.
1t is against this that Woods and
his committee, together with all the
local boss politicians, are SO frantic
ally fighting and preparing. Only
the Communist Party is leading a
militant fight for real relief. Vote
Communist! Continue the fight for
unemployment insurance.

LANDW0RKERS IN APPEAL
AGAINST POLISH TERROR

WARSAW.-The Red Landworkers'
Union has issued an appeal to the
workers and peasants of western
Ukrainia in connection with the
Pilsudski terror in western Ukrainia.
The appeal points out that the pog-
roms organized against the workers
and peasants have revealed clearly a
united front between the Polish and
Ukrainian fascists. The democratic
Peoples Association, the radicals and
the social democrats pretended to be
opposed to the illegal terror of the
punitive columns, but in reality they
did not move their fingers to prevent
it. The appeal concludes by declar-
ing that the democrats, radicals and
socialists are at one with Pilsudski
in the preparations for war against
the Soviet Union, and by calling on
the workers to answer their united
front with united front of the
workers and peasants in defense OF
the Soviet Union.
