doing their utmost to prevent the
development of the proletarian
revolution in Germany.
But the revolutionary develop
ments in Germany have already
rendered such an attempt futile.
A bourgeois socialist coalition,
openly or under cover, will have
only one result: the further shar-
pening of the class struggle and
the continuous weakening and de-
cay of the Socialist party.
The effect of the German cleo
ton in bourgeois Europe is a
growing feeling of instability and
an intensification of preparations
for imperalists war as we'll as
war against the Soviet Union.
con Daudet, the notorious French
Leon Daudet, the notorious
French monarchist leader, even
went so far as declaring: "War
is returning with increasing vel
ocity; shall we have it in sew
eral weeks or several months ?"
Pertinax, one Of the most fam
Gus nationalist journalists in
France, observes that "the out
come of the German elections
means the ruin of the German
parliamentary sy st EN- and
frankly demands a more militant
foreign policy than that of
BRAND.
In the meantime, the demand
of the Minister of War, Andre
Maginot, for an increased mill
tary budget is much strength
ened by the outcome of the Ger
man elections. and it has already
been officially announced that the
asked increase will be made. Thus
the intensified danger of war is
nuot only reflected in words
from the mouths of journalists,
but also in deeds, acts of prepa-
ration carried on by the French
government.
The imminant danger of war
is also observed by an arch-re-
dictionary A merica an Catholic
clergyman, Edmund A. Walsh,
vice-president of Georgetown Uni
versity and regent of its school of
foreign service. Walsh, who has
just returned from a tour in Eu-
rope, said that in the outcome of
last Sundays German elections he
saw possible danger to Euro
pean peace. =

Anna slid out of the room, draw
ing her shawl closely around her.
She was mad. The further she
walked, the madden she grew.
These were crazy times indeed. To
think they'd haul her into court
over that little brat! What was
wrong, anyhow. Hadn't she worked
at Fatima's age? And should she
go to work again? Huh! She
walked on. That idea, now about
learning to read and write. That
was another matter! Maybe she
could even learn to write her own
name, and read the paper. But
could she?
Grumbling to herself, A n n a
walked rapidly down the stairs into
the cellar basement. When Fatima
came back that evening, from her
day at the Pioneer center, Anna
met her with these words, sect
out. You don't belong here any
more. Huh? Where shall you go?
Anywhere, it's nothing to me. Only
get out. They got the law on me.
They say it's not allowed that
children should work now. So get
out" With appraised hand, Anna
started toward her. Fatima, in
terror, dashed up the stairs and
through the court into the street.
Where was she to go? What
should she do? Aimlessly she
wandered on, block after block
Suddenly she stopped. Of course!
She would go to her new-found
friends. They had told her to come
if she needed anything. Soon she
was ringing the bell at their head

earn enough to supply our table
with the kind of food needed and
keep up payments on my home and
taxes besides clothing and other
necessities, and they tell US the
crisis is caused ny over production.
Why, I need shoes and clothing and
hundreds of other things and no
money to buy them and yet work
ing all the time.
Workers, wake up; can't you see
this is all a big trick to fool you
into believing that you are holding
out by not buying. How can a
worker buy anything when he
works all the time and cannot earn
enough money to buy with.
For Red Labor Unions.
Another thing I want to get over
to all the workers is this. / am an
ex-serviceman and spent many days
in action in the Argonne and Elan
ders and l like everyone else think
the good old U. S. A. is the good
old country, but when it comes to
labor l am with the red labor
unions. Why? Because they are
the one and only workers friend.
So many workers I have talked
with are filled with the erroneous
impression that these red labor
unions and the Communist Party
are going to destroy US all.
Organize For Fight.
Workers, they are showing you
the way to freedom, showing you
the way to break the chains of the
bonus system like at Chevrolets,
showing you the way to get decent
working conditions in the factories,
shops and mines, showing you the
way to rid the city, state and ma
tional government grafters from
office.
Cut out the meatless and eatless
day. Let's not only demand but
fight for what we produce.
Thousands are on the verge of
starvation. Are you going to stand
by and let your class brothers fight
alone. All you auto workers, join
the Auto Workers Union. I know
lots of you and have worked with
you. Remember, you will soon be
40 and no longer wanted. Protect
yourselves now by lining up with

middle of November in former
years, and this year will be as

Chevrolet Slave Drivers.
The Chevrolet is a slave-driving
shop on the order of Ford's, with
the exception that their wages are
lower. Workers are hired in at d
cents per hour and bonus. After
three months you work up to 81
cents per hour and bonus.
Now, this looks like it might be
pretty good to the worker on the
outside.
Bonus Fake.
But here is what happens. All
repairs and maintenance loss of
time in production, due to one ma
chine or more being out of COM
mission, is shouldered on the work
ers'Ibonus. Innumerable other costs
are added which the workers know
nothing of, so, when pay day
comes, production schedule has
been maintained and secured at the
expense of the workers bonus.
The men in this plant curse the
day through. The speed-up and
conditions are terrible. No time
for a drink or any other cause.

strike occurred, is another slave
driving shop. Two thousand have
been put on the streets to starve in
the past two weeks.

The Trade Union Unity League
how enters in the second year of
it's existence. A certain analysis of
the activities of the 7. u. U. L. re-
veals the fact that great measure
of indifference, indecision and even
hostility on the part of many lead
ing comrades in the trade union
field is responsible for the slow
progress of the T. U. U. L.
The sooner those leading COM
rades in the trade union field who
hinder the progress of the T. u.
U. l.. to become the revolutionary
trade union center in the U. S. A.
will be exposed to the workers, the
clearer will become the march of
the revolutionary movement.
Right Tendencies Prevalent.
What is the use of accepting the
Party line in the trade unions ac-
tivities in theory and act otherwise
in practice? In the work of organ
izing the unorganized and to draw
in the rank and file workers of the
A. F. of L. unions to fight for
the program of the T. U. U. L.,
tendencies prevalent in the A.. F. of
L. unions are being transplanted in
the r. U. U. l..
While accepting in theory the
principle of industrial unionism the
craft divisions still prevail. In the
leading committees popularity is
still more important than capability
and devotion to work. 4 nicely
phrased speech is still given more
consideration than to activity and
understanding.

more. He says exports are sin
creasing." The bosses know that
with 100000 unemployed in this
country, with wages being cut
wholesale; with hundreds of thou
sands of poor farmers facing ruin,
the home market grows smaller and
smaller. They look for more dis
tant and greener fields. But these
fields are black, too, because every
where the crisis RACES.
What are the facts? Exports are
down 80 per cent. Automobile eX-
ports are down 65 per cent. They
will go down still further, because
reports from the U. S. Department
of Commerce show that the crisis
is not only growing worse world
wide, but is extending to such coun-
trie as France and Sweden, which
were not at first acutely hit by it.
War for Markets.
What Hoover is really doing is
telling the bosses that they must
speed up exports. This leads to
war. There is big scramble on
now for world markets. That's why
billions are being spent for war
ornaments.
The bosses are now resorting to
trick in writing about the econ
omic crisis. They are now compar-
ing the figures of production with
the same months in 1929-when in
1929 the crisis had already reached
a severe form! But even when the
figures today are worse. For in
stance freight car loadings are
down 127,S67 cars below last week,
and 1884 cars below last year,
when the crisis had already
reached low level. Auto output
is down again. The New York
Times index on auto production is
at so, compared to 100 last year.

vitals of American capitalism. No
upturn here.

MOSCOW 0PS).-The Central
Committee of the metal workers
union Of the Soviet Union proposes
the organization of widespread cul-
tural and enlightenment work
among the foreign workers and
specialists employed in the Soviet
Union.
The practical methods suggested
are joint international evening
meetings of home and foreign
workers, the publication of special
wall newspapers and printed mat
ter in foreign languages, broad
casting for the foreigners living
in the Soviet Union, etc.
In order to enlighten foreigners
on the progress of socialist recon-
struction in the Soviet Union, joint
excursions are to be made to con-
homes, collective and
state farms, children's homes, etc.
The Central Committee of the
metal workers union resolved at
the same time on measures for the
of foreigners into the
metal workers union. Special at
tention is to be given to inducing
the participation of foreigners in
the life of the works and factories,
in the socialist Competitions and
shock troop movement.

Communists IN
France Fight
Young Plan

PARIS QPS). - The Contra.
Committee of the Communist Par
ty of France issued an appeal to
the working masses stressing the
Importance of the coming elections
in Germany and declaring its COM
plete proletarian revolutionary So
lidarity with the German Commu-
mist Party in its struggle against
the reaction. 1t expresses approval
of the programatic declaration of
the German Communist Party and
declares that the carrying out of
this program is the only way to
emancipate the masses of the Ger
man workers from the shameful
treaties and from the exploitation
of foreign imperialism, and parti-
cularly French imperialism. The
appeal points out that the Com
munist Party of France has al
ways spoken, worked and voted
against the enslavement of the
German masses and refers to the
splendid solidarity expressed on so
many occasions between French
and German working classes dur
ing the occupation of the Ruhr.
1t reminds the masses that the
Communist Party was the only
party which fought logically
against the occupation of German
territory by the troops of French
imperialism. The French Party ex-
presses complete approval of the
statement of the German Party in
its program: eve shall tear up
the robber treaty of Versailles and
the Young Plan which enslaves
Germany and we shall annul all
international debts and the repara-
lions payments which have been
placed on the shoulders of the
masses by international capital
ISM" The appeal point out that
when the French working class
comes to power it will also annul
all the inter-allied debts which
have placed great burdens on the
shoulders of the toilers. 1t also ex-
presses complete approval of the
minority policy of the German
Communist Party towards national
minorities which shall be granted
complete right of self-determina-
ton to break away from one coun-
try and join another. The French
Party announces that it will support
all national minorities which strive
for unification with Soviet Ger
many. With regard to the danger
of wage cuts, the appeal points
out that only the struggle of the
German Communist Party for
higher wages, the seven hour day
and the five day week can fend
off the danger represented for
the workers of all countries by
the enslaved state of the working
class of Germany. In particular the
appeal refutes the slanderous sug-
gestions of the bourgeoisie and the
social democrats that the German
Communist Party has made con-
cessions to nationalism in its pro-
gramatic declaration, and declares
that its declaration is inspired
solely by a spirit of proletarian
internationalsm

work. Working at terrific speed,
they were able to maintain them
selves alive, before the wage-cuts
began, but lately, no matter how
fast one works, it is impossible to
earn a decent living. To further
lower the wages, they fired men in
many departments and hired women
at a much lower price.
With the beginning of the crisis
thousands of workers were laid off
altogether. This gave the foremen
an opportunity to improve on their
graft operations. They decided not
to wait any longer for birthdays"
or Christmas, but to collect cash
from the starving and unemployed
workers. They began to sell jobs
in the factory. One of the fore
men, Clarence Webb, who lives at
1884 North Luna Ave, according
to the workers in the Majestic
shops, sold jobs to William and
Baptiste Federico. They held their
obs only a short period. The fore
man fired them and sole their jobs
to other unemT Dyed workers.
When they tested e foreman
demanded more money 10 give them
back the jobs. They paid him
again and got their obs back, but
again for a short period only. He
fired them again and sold their
jobs to other unemployed victims.
They came back to the factory ;-.d
demanded their money back from
the CRATER. He refused to give
it back to them and started to
screa',- for help. Albert Marth, one
of the special + 'licemen at the Ma
jestic. came running.
Without asking any questions he
began to shoot, hitting the two
victims and barely missing third
unemployed worker who witnessed
the affair. The two badly wounded
men were taken to the hospital,
where William Federico died be-
fore he reached the operating table.
while his brother, Baptiste, is in
a dangerous condition.
The Majestic factory has a gang
of gunner as special police"
Their oh is to keep the workers
from organizing and to beat I'm the
unemployed. With the aid of the
regular city police force they are
patroling the streets for six blocks
around the factory, arresting every
body, men and women. who dare to
come out to the factory with lit
erature or newspapers. They usu-
ally take the arrested workers to
the private police station within
the factory. where they beat them
up. In spite Of this terror. litera-
ture is being distributed at the fac
tory by the Communist Party and

The announcement received bv the
gunmen for beating up unemployed
workers led up to this murder. Now

one: washed in the blood of un-
