NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Alex-
ander Trachtenberg, Communist
candidate for congress in the 14th
Congressional District, and Rose
Wortis, candidate for State Senate,
will address a meeting of Ukranian
workers at the Manhattan Lyceum,
sc East 4th St., next Sunday, Octo-
ber 26. Comrade Trachtenberg
spoke yesterday before a meeting of
Italian workers at the same hall.
The votes of the Italian and
Ukrainian workers in the 18th Con-
gressional District have been sold
to Tammany politicians by their
own traitors and robbed of their
votes whenever they tried to vote
for the Party of their class. The
workers in the sections populated
by Italians and Ukrainians must
mobilize for a determined fight
against Tammany and the Fascist,
for a fight for the candidate of the
Communist Party, the organizer of
the working masses, the Party that
fights for unemployed insurance,
the Party that fights capitalism.

ROYAL OAK, Mich, Oct. 22.-
Last Saturday night, for the first
time in Royal Oak, there was held
an unemployed mass meeting with
abount 500 present. This town is
controlled by the American Legion
and the Ku Klux Klan.
Comrade Leo Thompson, youth
organizer of the T.U.U.L., spoke on
the conditions of the unemployed
and the necessity of organization.
The workers present, who were also
members of the American Legion,
listened attentively to the program
presented by Comrade Thompson
and expressed full agreement and
! readiness to struggle. When the
police arrived at the meeting, the
working men and women booed the
police and protected the speaker.
The workers expressed their readi-
ness for organization and many
filled out applications to the union
and the Communist Party. The po-
lice had to return empty handed,
and the meeting went on, followed
by questions which were satisfac-
torily answered.

CHI. NEEDLE WORKERS
RAISING STRIKE FUND

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The Organ
ize and Strike Fund campaign is
now beinc conducted by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,

needle workers, as we'll as the needle
workers throughout the country,
recognize that the way to solve the
present problem in the industry,
is the speed up, wage cuts, and the
treacherous activities of the right
wing company unions, is by strike.
They also recognize that to have a
successful strike, preparations are
needed.
To help the fund, a cabaret
and dance will be given on Christ
mas Eve, at the Peoples Auditor
ium, 2457 w. Chicago Ave. This af-
fair will be the closing point in this
Organize and Strike CAMPAIGN. The
union asks all working class organ
izations in Chicago not to arrange
any other affairs on that date-to
support this Christmas Eve affair
thus assuring the needle workers in
Chicago that their quota will be
raised.

When Red Leaders Are
Fired by the Bosses

PRAGUE.-On the 4th of Octo-
ber Comrades Soukup and Tellin,
red shop stewards elected by the
workers of the Skoda Works in Pill
sen were instantly dismissed by the
management on the ground that
they had published a report of a
Confidential session" of the factory
council in "Skodovak" the organ of
the revolutionary workers in the
Skoda works. The real reason for
the dismissals is that the manage
ment wants to clear out the class
conscious leaders of the workers in
order to dismiss 5000 workess and
re-organize various departments for
war production with the co-opera-
tion of the social fascists.
The social fascists are trying to
throttle the indignation Of the work
ers with a "protest" to the arbitra-
tion court. The Communist Party
appeals to the workers to fight
energetically against this provoca-
ton of the management. Today the
dismissed shop stewards spoke to
the Skoda workers. They were ar
rested by the police. The workers
of the mechanical departments then
went on strike as a protest against
their dismissal and subsequent
arrest.

BlggeyAHack

FIENNA-The fascist Heimwehr
has issued a manifesto signed by it's
leader Prince Starhemberg the pres
ent Minister Of the Interior for Aus
tria. The manifesto points to the
danger that the present state of
political intrigue might drive many
people into the camp of the reds
and declares that the Heimwehr has
entered the government not in order
to support the Christian social
party, but in order to get firm
grip on the helm of state in the in
terests of the Heimwehr ideals.
The Heimwehr would not loosen it's
grip for any red majority. The
manifesto concludes, to-day the
Heimwehr is in the government; to-
morrow the Heimwehr block must
capture parliament, not in order
that its members should make
themselves comfortable in it's easy
chairs, but in order to build up the
new Heimwehr State on the ashes
Of party political parliamentarism."
This manifesto of the fascists
speaks an open language. Should
the coming elections give no major
ity to the Vaugoin-Seipel- -Starhem-
berg government then parliament
will be pushed aside by virtue of
the armed forces behind Starhem-
berg.
Starhemberg in the Ministry of
the Interior and his fellow fascist
Hueber in the Ministry of Justice
are already busy exploiting their
offices in order to strengthen the
Heimwehr and persecute it's ene-
mics. Hardly a day passes but
what some newspaper or publication
is fined and suppressed for attacks
on the Heimwehr government.
Yesterday the "Allgemeine Zeit-
ung" bourgeois newspaper was
suppressed for reprinting an article
published by the great German
bourgeois daily newspaper the
"Frankfurter Zeitung" on the situa-
ton in Austria. Today the social
democratic "Abend" was confis-
Gated for publishing an attack on

Exposes MELONS, Hand in
Pennsy Boss Party Machines

This particular internecine strife
between Pennsylvania plutocrats
will be waged with millions of dol
lars; enough to feed the army of
unemployed in Philadelphia or Pitts
burgh for two or three months this
coming winter.
Pinchot in his listing of the 8
specific frads perpetrated by the
Vare-Atterbury machine is correct.
The Vare-Atterbury's outfit charac-
terization of Pinchot is correct, also.
Although why Pinchot lists only
fradus instead of 5000 is a mystery.
To go into the history of Pinchot
and his satellites or Ware and his
satellites would require many vol
umes. And to go into the history
of their feudal. industrial hackers,
Grundy and Atterbury would re-
quire many more volumes.
To workers only certain things
must be remembered.
l. The Atterbury interests are
everything that Pinchot says they
are-and more.
2. The mountebank, Pinchot, ap-
pealing to the "peepful' is an adept
at using sentimental buncombe to
delude the same "peepful"-and an
adept at successful flunkeying to
the powerful mining, manufacturing,
commercial and banking interests
while in office.
3. That the socialist party, as
vividly shown in their "administra-
tion" under Maurer and his cohorts
at Reading, Pennsylvania, is as like
unto the capitalist parties powers,
as peas under a pod.
4. That the only Party in the
state representing the working class
is the Communist Party.

List of Third Degree Methods.
Among the more common forms
of torture used in the "third de-
gree" are blaclSjacking the victim
into Inconsistencies, beating him
with a rubber hose or part of an
auto tire Ga hose leaves no marks
after a few hours but the pain
often lasts for months), beating him
with an ordinary cops club and
with a revolver butt, cracking head
of prisoner against walls and floor,
burning back, chest, soles and eyes
of prisoner with lighted cigarettes
and cigars, firing blank cartridges
against temple of prisoner, refusing
to give thirsty prisoners drink even
though a glass of water is brought to
within an inch of his mouth, beat
ing soles of prisoners feet until
they swell, forcing the prisoner to
run a gauntlet of 80 or 40 cops, each
of whom comes down heavily with a
rubber hose or club, forcing victim
to remain awake three, four and
five days, hitting prisoner over
Adams apple with blackjack, having
dentist grind sound tooth of pris-
oner with a rough burr, and crack
ing jaws of victim together in such
manner that often the broken
Zones cannot knit properly.

By ALLAN JOHNSON

Police court reporters for the boss
press declare privately that about
ninety-five per cent of influential
criminals habitually buy their way
out of convictions. The remainder
either try to hold up bank, and
this is never forgiven by the rich,
who demand immediate and drastic
punishment, or are caught red
handed about the time the capitalist
parties are gently pushing each
other around in a sham election
campaign in which crime is one of
the tissues"
Since almost all professional
criminals are influential it follows
that the vast majority of them pay
for their crimes by aiding Tammany
at election time, and that only the
poor and the ignorant criminals
ever see the inside Of Jail, barring
miracles.
In the midst Of a "crime wave"
orders go around that arrests must
be made. Since the influential
criminal is immune it means that
the petty thief or street corner
"hard guy" is corralled and charged
with crimes committed by men who
sometimes accompany the detectives
when they arrest the "punks." The

Rock-ribbed Republican Pennsyl-
vania is no more. The arch of Key
stone State Republicanism is split
asunder. All the "boys" of one side
are calling in united chorus all the
"boys" of the other side grafters,
crooks, hypocrites. The other side
is repaying in kind. And when this
happens in Pennsylvania it means
direct, unconcealed involvement of
the Liberal and Democratic parties.
For while in other states it is evil
dent to every class conscious worker
that there is a tie of some sort be-
tween the Republican, Democratic,
Socialist, Liberal, and what have
you political" parties in Pennsyl-
vania, for a generation or more all
political organizations, excepting
now the Communist Party, are sub
servient to and subsidiaries of the
dominant Republican machine.
1t is, therefore, with ease that the
Atterbury and Mellon interests,
worthb etween them more than a
billion dollars, can come out for the
paragon of Pennsylvania politics,
John M. Hemphill, at one and the
same time conservative" yet "pro-
gressive," and running simultan-
eously on the democrat and liberal
tickets. At of the 4S ward leaders,
the Band of Brothers constituting
the huge, corruptedly contented
Philadelphia republican machine,
desert the Pinchot part of the re-
publican ticket and at the behest of
their master, the arch exploiter, w.
W. Atterbury, come out in favor of
Hemphill. Liberal in Pennsylvania
means beer, and movies on Sunday.
1t is with the same sort of ease
that the slippery Pinchot, at the
same moment that he is accepting
$4,000 checks from Grundy, in
famous child labor exploiter, is en-
abled to send to every singl one of
the registered voters of Philadel-
phia letter charging 8 specific
thieveries to the Philadelphia repub-
lican organization. Pinchot, mil
lionaire demagogue, finds a ready
alliance with Grundy, who in addi-
tion to being internationally known
as an eXploiter of children in his
mills at Bristol, Pa, also controls
in the approved Pennsylvania style,
many important county republican
machines, chiefly in rural, anthra-
cite and bituminous Pennsylvania.
He also holds in the hollow of his
hands hundreds of upstate manu-
facturers, exploiters of cheap labor
who will contribute literally to
Pinchot's campaign.
Why are the Pennsylvania poll
ticians with their armies of political
parasites so worked up over this
vcritable Tweedledum and Tweedle-
dee campaign? Because there is
much at stake. The state treasury
itself, the enormous state patronage
welded by the winner for governor
is much larger than that involved
in the cause of many war or revo-
luton in Latin America or the
| Balkans.
