his two-day week job at the glazer
shop, food is all gone, and the land
lord proposes to evict the family to-
day from their flat at 1885, Spring

Walker Committee, which "investi-

nounced the family mot destitute"

family is evicted, they will have no.

CHINA RED
ARMY TAKES
z MORE CITIES
Capitalist Press Prints
Many Lies About
Massacre"
GunbOats to Hainan
Chang, Wall st. Tool,
Is in HankoW

From Hankow, where Chang Kai
Shek now has his headquarters,
comes an Associated Press dispatch
saying that the Communists have
captured two more cities in Human
province. The Red Army has taken
Lichow and Tsingshih, two important
Yangtze cities. They are now con-
centrating an attack on Shansi in
Hupeh province.
The same Associated Press dis
patch, which is inspired by the Wall
STREET tool, Chang Kai Shek, also
tries to spread the lie that there was
"a general slaughter of the inhabi-
tants." This is Chang Kai Shek's
way of urging the imperialist powers
to rush more gunboats to help him
do what his entire army is incapable
of doing-wiping out the Red Army
forces.
A Hongkong cable says the Amer
lean, British and Chinese militarists
are rushing gunboats to Hainan
Island, in South China, where the
workers and peasants, under Com
munist leadership, have taken over
power. The pretext is the usual one
of the existence of missionaries who
are endangered" Cantonese troops
are also being rushed to Hainan
Island.
The Communist forces are adj
vancing not only along the Yangtze
River, but as the successful uprising
in Hainan Island shows. they are be-
coming active throughout the south
of China. At the same time, the i'm
perialist supporters of the Chinese
militarists are increasing their muir
derous activity in an attempt to
drown the growing, revolution in a
sea of blood. The American workers
must demand the immediate with
drawal of the imperislist troops and
gunboats.

The United Press carries the
news that there is severe street
fighting in Madrid. Twenty

Oastian. In many sections of

ing was matter of sporadic street
fighting between Communists and
LoyaliSts."
Many Communists are reported to
be arrested and now face execution.
The general strike was called for
Monday morning following the exec
ution of two officers who took part
in the uprising of soldiers in the
North of Spain.
Drop Leaflets from Air.
On Monday morning army aviators
at the Cuatro Vientos. Airdrome,
just outside of Madrid, revolted. They
dropped leaflets urging the soldiers

reports state they were defeated. Sew.

followed.

the masses to support this bourgeois

on the workers to put forward their
own demands against the fascist die.
tatorship and to take independent
action leading to the overthrow OF
the monarchy.
Despite the repeated claims of the
fascist government that the revoluI
ton is crushed, there is desperate
fighting going on in many parts of
the country. The workers are out on
strike, and the entire country is In
turmoil Since rigid censorship has
been clamped down, only such news
as the Berenguer outfit want to go
out is permitted to be sent over the
wires.
In Bilbao, where the Communist
forces are strong, United Press dis
patch states that strikers opened
fire today on train on the Bilbao
Portugalete line near the station of
Baracaldo, a suburb" Undoubtedly
the train carried loyal monarchist
troops.
Three Communists were reported
killed by police, according to travel
lers arriving at the French-Spanish
border. Only few trains were oper-
ating on the Norte Railway and strik-
ers crowded the stations.

Government Figures Admit

About Scarcely Any Wage Cuts"

NEW YORK. - Cold figures from

reinforce what any one of he job

tell-the number of unemployed
workers is growing. Yesterday the
capitalist press printed. usually in

that employment fell 2.5 per cent
during that month. and that wages
of those still at work fell much more.
The reduction in payrolls was 81 per
cent during November. Part of this
is due to the discharge of employees,
but that accounts only for 25 per
cent The rest is wage cuts, the en-

The figures do not, of course, show
the horrible increase in speed-up and
worsening of conditions which make
an indirect wage cut. They are OPP
timistlc, in plain words, they lie as
much as the government experts
think they can lie and still be be-
lieved. But they admit enough to
show that the crisis is growing stead
lily worse, and that further unem-
ployment and wage cutting still
spread like a wave over the country.
Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of
labor statistics, stated quite frankly
yesterday that the wage cutting was
due to the stagger system, the scheme
announced by Hoover and eagerly
snapped up by the biggest employ
ers, to make the workers stand more
OF the burden of the crisis by work
ing one group part of the week and
another the rest. At the time this
scheme was announced, the Daily
Worker pointed out that it was a
lie to say as Hoover did, that it would
not reduse wages. 1t reduces the
weekly earnings, of course, but in adj
dition. the scheme is always SO ar
ranged that the men, during their
part weeks work, do more work for
less pay by the day. In the Cincin-
natl version of the stagger system,
the employers agree to pay half pay
for two thirds of the work.

is lying or the bureau of labor sta
