SO. WORKERS RAP
ATLANTA TRIAL
Denounce Lynn hin g
Terror of Bosses

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 2O.-About
three hundred Negro and white
workers gathered at the corner of
Market and Main SITS here last night
answering the call of the American
Negro Labor Congress and the In
ternational Labor Defense to pro-
test lynching and demand the I'M
conditional release of the Atlanta
organizers, whose instruction
trial is soon to begin.
Frank E. Wallis, secretary of the
Provisional Organization Committee
for the South of the A.N.L.C., spoke
on the recent lynchings, pointing
out the exploitation basis of all
lynching and the need for united
organization of the working-class
along militant lines.
Mary Dalton, one of the Atlanta
defendants and at present Commu-
mist Party organizer in Chattanooga
spoke for the International Labor
Defense and exposed the boss policy
of race separation among the
workers. The spirit of the workers
was good. The Liberator, the
Southern Worker, pamphlets and
leaflets were widely distributed

GERMAN SOCIALISTS VOTE TO CUT
WAGES AND TO SAVE BRUENING GOVT
Socialist Party In Same Sewer AS Other Boss
Cliques, Worker Shows Communists
Only Workingclass Party

German bosses and the holders of
the Young Plan bonds, the New
York Times declared that "the
United States (Wall ST., in COM
mon with other nations, has a great
stake in the financial recovery and
political stability of the German Re-
public" To save this stake of in
ternational finance capital, the So
cialists are preparing an attack
against the workers and a reritable
blood bath, paving the road for fasc-
ism.
The latest action of the Socialists
will have profound effect on the
rank and file workers still left in
the social-democratic party. In the
impending struggle between ascism
and Communism they are going
over more and more to the leader
ship of the revolutionary working
class party. In the present critical
economic and political situation, the
socialists, to save capitalism, are
forced to discard their mask and
step out as an open ally of the
bosses and especially Of the imperial
list creditors Of Germany. They
have taken up their dirty work
where they left off, when they re-
fused to vote for unemployment in
surance cuts asked or by Bruening.
Now they vote for these unemploy-
ment insurance cuts since the cleo
tons are over. Their previous step
was to fool the masses. But humid
reds of thousands of rank and file
workers were already disillusioned.
The actions of the socialists III
Germany show the lengths to which
the social-fascists will 60 to head
off the revolutionary development of
the masses and to save capitalism.
Their action, however, will not in
fuse new life into decaying capital
ism. 1t just gives heart to the i'm
perialist creditors, but it will inten-
sify the class struggle in Germany
and clear the road for the impending
revolutionary battle.

afforded daily thrill by watching
Dryers gunner engage in target
practice with AS automatics while
policemen commented wittily on the
craftsmanship of their particular
cronies.
One day while cop was stroll
ing on West saith St. he was al
most hit by the stream of bullets
that Dryers mob was firing at a
rival on the street from an open
window in the mob's headquarters
above a night club. The cop looked
at the corpse, turned his stupid eyes
toward the window and then slowly
walked to the next corner to call
an ambulance. If the racketeer
were still alive the cop in all proba-
bility would have notified one Of
the three East Side private hospi-
tails which cater only to wounded
gunner.
Two over ambitious hijackers once
stole a truck load of liquor from
Dryers men. Retribution was
swift. Within few days one was
murdered. The coast guard, which
was running rum for Dwyer, was
ordered by him to be on the look
out for the other and to shoot him
on sight. A few weeks later, some
guardsman met the second hijacker
in a summer resort. They killed
him Immediately and walked" him
to the edge of the town, where they
flung his body into some bushes,
In their death march through the
streets they waxed merry and oc-
casionally poked the corpse in the
ribs to give the impression to pas
sersby that the man they were car
rying was drunk.
Police Audit Gangsters' Books
The police audit Dryers books
much more carefully than they do
those of the department. Every
night the night clubs in which Dwy-
er has IN interest are entered by
several cops who carefully count
the receipts and take percentage
which they deliver to the captain
of the precinct, after first taking
"cut" for themselves.
Neither these, nor thousands of
similar instances, are ever recorded
on police blotters, and consequently
when Whalen resigned at Walkers
request he was able to cite liter
ally hundreds of pages of statistics

OUeY Mark of
s. Year Plan

MOSCOW.-Four workers here
(the writer included) have just paid
visit to the "Amo" Motor Works,
in Moscow.
Eighteen months ago, the factory
employed $500 workers; today it
employs 1000; and at the end of the
Five-Year Plan it will employ
$4,000.
Fifteen per cent of the workers
are women who have been specially
trained in the school attached to the
factory. Nearly 40 per cent are
young workers.
A majority of these young work.
ers are in the Young Communist
League; and, so far as available
igures indicate, are 100 per cent
organized in "shock brigades."
In the just concluded second ear
o the Five-Year Plan the "Amo"
actor surassed its estimates IL

A factory meeting was attended,
as we'll as talks with individual
workers, revealed how tbs was done.
The mention of the young worker
who had done the best work as
brigadier was received with cheers.
For Foreign Travel.
He, along with two others, it was
reported, were to receive rewards
for their endeavors; h. to attend a
technical college, the other two to
receive bursary for foreign travel.
The "Amo" Works is no. simply a
place where people work; it is the
pivot of their lives.
The workers have three meals
daily in the huge, welllighted res
taurant attached to the factory.
Here also they have their games
and their concert meetings.
A school fused by young workers
in their working hours) and sports

With the support of the socialists,
the Bruening government is en-
abled to remain in power to carry
on the exploitation of the masses
under the Young Plan yoke. On
Saturday, the Bruening program of
wage cuts, attacks against unem-
ployment insurance, and general
economy in the interest of the
German bourgeoisie and finance
capital was upheld in the Reichstag
by a vote of 318 to 1856. The social
lists united with the parties Of the
small and big capitalists to put over
the Bruening plan. The whole crux
of the situation rested on the social
list vote. World capitalism was not
fooled in its implicit confidence n the
German social-democratic (socialist)
party.
1t came through for them again.
The Young Plan was put over by
the aid of the socialists. 1t is now
being carried out through for the
,55es with the support of the So
cialists.
In view of the strike of 100000
German metal workers, the support
of the socialists of the Bruening
program has especial significance
1t shows that they solidly back the
program of wage cuts for all work
ers. The strike was called only be-
cause the revolutionary trade union
opposition exposed the betraying
tactics of the socialist trade unior
leaders. Even now, battle is 60
ing on to prevent these leders from
throttling the strike to help the
Bruening program Of finance-capital
along.
Several days before the Reichstag
vote was taken, the Wall Street
Journal devoted a special editorial
to the German socialists party, and
how much hope Wall Street pinned
on the party's action. 1t said they
were the foundation of the present
ORDER" capitalism, in Germany and
that they could be relied upon. Wall
Street knows it's friends. The Ger
man workers are rapidly learning
their enemies.

By ALLAN JOHNSON

Part of the $63,000,0O0 that the
police department spends every
year goes for statisticians, who
must prove, willy nilly, that crime
is steadily decreasing. Capitalists
can do almost anything with Stats
tics except make them reflect the
truth. Hoover has made public fig
ures which purport to show that the
federal government has spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars on a
construction program to "aid the
jobless." Actually the government
has expended $24,0o0,000 for that
purpose, or less than was spent in
prosperous" 1929. Similarly with
the CENSUS figures, which indicate
that there are less than 100000
unemployed in America, although
the director of the census later let
the cat out of the bag by hurting
out over the radio that there were
really nine million jobless in the
country, a few hundred thousand
more than the Daily Worker figured
at the time.
The truth is that criminal activ-
it,, most of it with police approval
and connivance, is increasing at a
tremendous rate. The police depart
ment reduces" crime in the follow
ing way: Murders are classified as
suicides, robberies as assaults, and
grand larcenies and burglaries as
investigations" Moreover, serious
crimes are not entered at all if it
is at all possible. The standing or
der is to "kill everything" unless
the victims have influence or may
raise a squawk. The possibilities of
blackmail under such a system are
limitless. For shielding the men,
Der of New York's 400" who had
Dot King, the Broadway show girl,
killed, Commissioner Enright de-
manded one million dollars and got
it.
Most crimes, furthermore, are not
reported to or by the police. At any
given moment New York's under
world is seething with activity.
Tammany is tolerant. For the
greater the crime the greater the
"cut" to Tammany. Just what are
the possibilities, for example, that
the crimes Of Bill Dwyer, New
York's AL Capone, will ever be
recorded?

PHILA. BUDGET
FAVORS BANKERS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - T h e
budget estimates for 1881, submit
ted by Mayor Mackey to the City
Council, are characterized by Scion
omy." Being that last year ended
with a deficit of over IL million
dollars, the present budget is only
four and half millions above the
SO million budget Of 1880. The in
rrease is due to the raising of the
amount for the municipal debt SER
vice to over 81 million dollars, while
the appropriations for tse Dept. of
Public Welfare were reduced. This
year, the department spent less
than 100000 for emergency unem-
ployer relief,-due to the reduction,
it will not be even that much the
coming year. In other words,
while nearly 10 per cent of the
budget is spent to repay the debts
to the bankers and other capital
lists, there is no provision for the
relief of the unemployed!
Sham Fight
This exposes clearly the sham
fight between the "two friends" of
the people in Penno. Pinchot and the
wet democrat Hemphill. Thye keep
on throwing dust into the workers
eyes with their fake issues, while
the Ware machine keeps on plumber
ing the city without making any
provisions to relieve the misery of
tn unemployed. Against these enc
mics of the working-class the Com
munist Party is making unemploy-
ment the main issue in it's election
campaign. Beside the fight for the
Workers Social Insurance Bill, the
Party candidates demand an emer-
gency fund of 80 million dollars es-
tablished by the city.

Brewery Owned by Fire Chief

Brewery Owned by Fire Chief
Recently there was a fire in the
brewery in the East Twenties which
supplies midtown New York with a
good deal of it's beer. The plant,
owned by Dwyer and deputy COM
missioner of the fire department,
has huge stills. When the stills ex-
ploded two men were killed. The
fire spread rapidly because the fire
men, at the order of their chief,
spent most of their time destroying
alcohol tins to destroy evidence that
would certainly fall into the hands
of the dry agents when they arrived,
and they were expected momen-
tarily.
The federal agents were soon in
formed of the fire and were gloat-
ing over the opportunity of getting
the democratic fire chief in hot
water and so helping the republi-
cans in the next sham political bat
tie. For months these dry agents
had been trying to raid the brewery
with this purpose in mind, but were
always prevented by cops and gun
men who guarded the doors. When
the agents demanded admittance to
the plant they found that they were
doomed to disappointment again.
This time it was by the firemen,
who held them back by threatening
to decapitate them with fire axes.
The brewery is running full blast
today.
Dryers influence extends far into
the confines of city hall and police
headquarters. 1t was Dwyer who
inaugurated the very practical
method of running rum into New
York on city garbage scows, there
by the necessity of sending the
scows back on the twenty mile re-
turn trip without pay load. The
capitalist press reported the rum
running but they were too embar-
raised to mention some Of the fur
Their details.
Target Practice in Garage
When Dwyer and Vaccarelli and
Deputy Street Cleaning Commits
sioner Laura landed their rum it
was Immediately transported to
subsidized garages in police trucks
at the order of the then commits
sioner, Grover Whalen. In one of
these garages, on Watt Street, the
! children of the neighborhood were

which proved" that crime in New
York is on the wane.
Another reason why crime is not
reported is that cops are often too
busy carrying on little private bust
nesses of Their own, which occupy a
good deal of their time. There are
mounted policemen in New York
who have become wealthy men
through a skillful handling of the
traffic laws. In the districts where
parking is limited to an hour, these
American counterparts Of the Tsar-
list Russian Cossacks have canvassed
the office buildings on their beat
and secured large clientele OF
business men who are willing to
pay five dollars a month for the
privilege of parking their cars as
long as they wish. The cop takes
the license number, notes it in his
book and thereafter will overlook
the car when he makes his hourly
inspection of parked automobiles.
Graft from Fake Laws
The income OF many cops is in
creased by laws which were passed
only to permit the police department
to sell immunity to those VINO want
to break these laws. In this cate
CORY are almost all the laws relat-
ing to the control of taxicabs. Hack
drivers are subjected to a multiple
ity of laws that are staggering both
to the Imagination and to the cab
drivers thin pocketbooks. The po-
lice maintain that these laws are
necessary to keep in check the
many thugs who are active in the
industry.
AS a matter of fact the only cab
drivers who are free from police
supervision are these thugs, and the
large majority of underpaid, over
worked drivers are forced to set
aside a certain amount of their in
come for protection"
Protection" of course, is sold
to gunner and non-gunmen alike,
although all things being equal, the
gunman will pay less for the same
privileges. A gunman at election
time can account for a dozen OPP
position votes as well as some of
his own, and Tammany is always
mindful of this aid. Nor does Tam
many make any great effort to hide
these things from insiders. About
two years ago some racketeers in

wages Are LOW.
The earnings under these
sweatshop conditions are as
low as from $25 to $28' per
week.
Not better are the conditions Of
the bushelmen in the big depart
ment stores as Wanamakers, Rog-
ers and Peet and the like. Though
the conditions in these rich bust
ness houses are somehow more sani-
tary, but the earnings are still lower
than that of the merchant tailors.
Piece Work Speed Up.
These big parasites as well as the
smaller bosses are taking advantage
by utilizing the present unemploy-
ment crisis against the workers,
urging them to work piece work
in order to squeeze more profit out
of its slaves.
These rich millionaire concerns
are aware of the fact that it's toll
ers are powerless because they are
not organized and are therefore
ready to rob the workers without
any mercy.
No attempt whatsoever to or
ganize the bushelmen was ever
made. Not by the Amalgamated,
nor by the A. F. of L. union of the
tailors, j. e., the Journeymen
Tailors or the United Garment
Workers.
Company Union Only.
These burocratic leaders of these
mentioned craft land company
unions were never interested to Or
ganize these tailors who are com
PEELED to toll under the most slave
conditions and for starvation wages.
These generals are the agents of
the masters and are rewarded with
medals by them.
The alteration tailors as well
as the tailors in general must not
be discouraged, but join the Trade
Union Unity League needle indus
trial union (the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union) and
help build a powerful militant
rank and file union under a shop
delegate system which will en-
able the workers to fight for
short hour day and for a decent
living.
