In Evanston, Illinois, and White
Plains, New York, two places where
there are many mansions of the cap
italists who rob the workers of Chi
cago and New York respectively, the
rich families are defying their own
laws against possessing weapons, and
are arming themselves by the humid
reds to see that the workers whom
they have robbed, who are now starv-
ing, don't come out and take the loot
away again.
There are scores of such things 60
ing on, workers! But do you need
any more to see, to understand, that
the capitalists and their government
are not going to feed the starving
unemployed! That back of the cleo
ton bunk the bosses are preparing
to force the workers wages down, to
force the unemployed to starve-and
to club and shoot them if, in their
desperation, the workers rise in re-
volt to get bread!
Only the most militant and united
fight of big masses will compel these
cursed capitalists to back up! Only
a great nationwide struggle, led by
the Communist PARTY will conne1 the
capitalists to give real and adequate
relief, to grant Unemployment In
surance!
Show that you're with such fight!
That you want the Communists who
are the only ones with CUTS enough
to fight, in congress or in the streets,
for the workers! And Vote Commun-
list!

board. Certainly, the failure of the
line and the subsequent seizure and
sale of the boat was not due to lack
of support. The masses gave that
support generously.
Crew Still Starved
In spite of the collection of these
huge sums, the callousness of the Of
ffcers toward the suffering of the
crew was so great that when Solo,
mon, a fireman, got into trouble
ashore and was fined 80 Costa Rican
dollars, Mr.. Carter refused to pay his
fine, or to advance him enough of his
wages to pay it. A woman member
of the organization ashore paid his
fine, thinking Mr.. Carter would re-
fund it to her, but he did nothing OF
the sort.
The boat then left Port Limon for
Almarante. This is only a small vii
lage,, but here again the enthusiasm
was so great that Mr.. Carter collected
large sums of money. The people told
him he could have all he wanted in
the line of provisions. They even
gave us small goat and pig. Miss
Davis, by the way, claimed the pig
for herself, declaring she liked roast
pork. Starved as we were, we deter
mined she would not eat that pig.

The night before we left Almerante,
MIR. Carter publicly demonstrated his
attitude towards the workers. His
line was the line of all the exploiters

TRIAL OF Sc REDS
OPENS IN TOXIC
Workers Cheer When
Communists Appear

TOKIO-Recently the trial Of SO
workers, charged with being Commu-
nists, started at Toxic. This group
of prisoners is part of the thous-
ands of workers, arrested during the
raids of April 10, 1928. They have
been imprisoned in various prisons of
the country and were brought to
Toxic for the trial. The galleries Of
the courtroom were crowded with
workers and friends of the accused,
who cheered them on their entrance
in the court room. The prisoners de-
manded that they be given opportu-
nifty to have a meeting of all the
prisoners, as they have not met each
other before. On a count of the con-
tinuous cheering from the galleries

the president ordered the galleries
cleared. The workers resisted and
the police used force in order to
remove the workers.
The president ordered further, that
the prisoners shall be heard singly.
The prisoners protested against this
ruling.
On the second day of the trial the
president ordered after the pattern
of Hungary-that the trial be con-
Quoted behind closed doors. In spite
of the protests of the defendants and
their lawyers the hall was emptied by
the police and the trial proceeds now
behind closed doors.

NEW INQUISITION

(By q Worker Correspondent
SOUTH BEND, Ind, There are
over two hundred mills and shops
here in which the working class is.
Every day the bosses change their
plans in their interests.
1t is naturalization and speedup
and the layoff system. 1t starveS and
kills the workers.
New Blacklist System
Studebaker is the largest industrial
unit. 1t employs normally over ten
thousand workers, from to 8 ttous-
and.
The bosses have registration sys-
tenn. They call workers in the office
and ask questions. How many wives
and children, homes and property
and if it is mortgaged or not.
After that examination the grand
jury company officials decide whether
the worker male or female has to be
laid off or not. Most of the poor
single men are being laid off or
starved to death by the Civilized"
bosses
Forced into Army
So the bosses have forced the single
men to go to the army to join to de-
fend American barbarous imperialism
in the next world war, and keep those
who support families and press on
them the inhuman exploitation.

Is that Relief?

by Worker Correspondent
CLEVELAND, Ohio.-After the
Hoover demonstration in Cleve-
land, the City Council voted twice
for bonds to the amount of $3.50,
900.
I was registered after struggling
for two days in the masses of I'M
employed who tried to get work
from the city. Finally they gave
me work--three days of hard labor
at $3.50 day. That, comrades, was
all the relief I got-S14.40 for the
last five months.
The bonds which the City Coun-
ell voted provides relief like this
only for those who were registered,
the others get nothing at all. There
are over 10000 men unemployed in
this city; many starving children
are seen and mothers with hag-
gard looking faces. Have they been
given relief? And was I?
That's why I am fighting for the
Communist Social Insurance Bill
and voting Communist too!

back to his passionate. This was
enough to start a mutiny, but re-
membering the hard working men
and women who had pleaded with us
in New York to do our best for the
boat, and bring it back safely, we
took even these insults.
We arrived next evening back in
Bocase del Toro. Here again large
sums were collected. We then went
back to Colon, and imagine our sur
prise when Mr.. Carter told the people
We could not sail because he had no
money with which to buy coal. This
statement surprised even the presi-
Gent of the 18th Street local, who had
made the round trip to Port Limo
and back with us, and had an op-
portunity to see the vast sums COL
lected from the people of Colon, Pan
anna City, Port Limon, Almerante
and Bocos del Toro. The boat then
laid up in stream, and Carter and
Miss Davis went ashore. We got the
information later from the Star and
Herald, the leading local paper, that
they had opened negotiations with
the Panama government for private
purchase of a banana plantation.
Angered beyond endurance, we de-
manded of Carter how it was he had
no money to buy coal but could be
negotiating to buy plantation in his
own and Miss Davis names.

Mr.. Carter refused cargoes and pas
sengers and did everything to hold up
the boat. He was not interested in
taking cargoes because then every
body would know how much money
was received for the cargo, and that
did not fit his purposes.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - You may
have noticed the sudden change in
the capitalist press to hide the real
seriousness of the existing crisis.
Here in Philadelphia they are
printing all sort of bunk in order to
fool the people, for instance, few
days ago in one of the liberal papers
an editorial appeared asking for more
and better paid police, all this is in
accordance with the city plan for two
thousand more police.
But they say we want policemen
and no meddler, here they state that
the cops should not be used to en-
force the blue law, and not to raid
the American Legion Posts, and ar
rest some of the drunken legionnaires
in enforcing the 18th amendment, it
is all right to raid workers homes
If they can afford to make few gall
Ions of wine, and smash everything
up, or break strikes up, when the
workers go out demanding better
conditions, for these purposes the
police can be used at any time,
liberal-democrats approve of it, so
do the conservatives supporting the
Pinchot machines, which want the
iron and coal police abolished, but
ask for more police and state troop
ers, to steel use them against the
workers.
So if Pinchot wins the coal and
Iron police will get an officials
