Tammany Grafters
Try to Fool J0bless

If the seven million unemployed,
especially the large proportion of
them in New York city will starve
for four more years, few of them
might get jobs, if the grafters don't
get all the money that might be
appropriated for building work, ac-
cording to the "plan" of the Walker
Whalen Tammany government as
expressed by Comptroller Berry.
Berry said that a four-year pro-
gram probably would be work
ed out amounting to $2,000,O0O,000.
This should remind the starving job
less of the brilliant Hoover S3,000,-
100000 building program concocted
in 1928-which disappeared COM
pletely when mass unemployment
arrived.

SIGNIFICANCE OF INT'L

Workers Fought Bosses, Fascists and the

The Fight Was Also Against the War Danger

and the struggle of the workers

The contradictions between the
Soviet Union and the imperialist
world system were increasing. In
the capitalist countries a growing

ism. The social basis in the CAPT

er and the sympathies of the work
ers for the Soviet Union growing,
whilst in the Soviet Union the crea-
tive enthusiasm of the masses was
building up socialism. Hence the
new burst Of furious hatred from
the bourgeoisie and it's social fas-
cist lackeys.
The significance of International
Day against unemployment was that
in all countries the masses followed
the call Of the Communist Parties
which thus exercised an organiza-

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R. Mar. 6, In
precorr Mail) The "Pravda" de-
clares that the great significance Of
the international Day Against IN
employment is that it is not only a
day of demonstrations of the unem-
ployed workers, but day of strug-
gle of the whole working class
against the bourgeois order of So
ciety. Class agair-t class was the
slogan, for the unemployed problem
was problem which could only be
solved in the course of the general
struggle of the proletariat against
the bourgeoisie.
The bourgeoisie modified all its
forces against the workers, and in
particular fascism and social fas-
cism, thus the demonstrations of the
unemployed were directed al o
against fascism and social fascism.
The social fascists and their assist
ants, the right and left wing rene
gades of Communism, sought to dis
arm the proletariat for the period of
the crisis. In order to defeat the
bourgeoisie the social fascists would
first have to be defeated. The in
ternational day of Unemployment
was thus struggle against the
trinity of the bourgeois state, the
capitalists and the social fascists.
The intensifying world economic
crisis intensified the imperialist con-
tradictions. The world situation was
not so intense since the world war
and the intervention against the pro-
letarian revolution. The war dan
ger was more and more imminent

Green Shows Self Up
Before Mill Hands

(By Il Worker Correspondent
GREENVILLE, S. C.-The big
labor faker, Bill Green, made a
speech here recently and was
shown up by two of our leaders.
He started to knock the Commu-
rists and Trade Union Unity
League. He was stopped by loud
objections on every side. One of
our members told him he would
a damn sight better be led by the
Communist Party than be led by
Tom Mcmahon. At that time FL
bert Tetherow from Charlotte, N.
T. w. U. organizer, popped up and
said that Bill Green is just a big
labor faker, and then the law
came in and threw out L. c. Nc
Curry and Tetherow.
That McCurry is a mighty mill
tant man. He has fought for the
N. T. w. u, and he has been
blacklisted. but he does not care,
and will fight to "a finish. We
textile workers know what the
U. T. w. will do for us; it sold
us out at the Poinsett and the
Brandon and the Mills mill. We
say, ITO hell with the U. T. w.
