not go to such lengths of sophistry and
falsehood as did Hoover. Hoover tried
to draw IN analogy, to make compar-
ison between the sturdy mountaineers
of Carolina who $50 years ago beat
back the numerically superior forces of
the British king, and the gang of brok-
ers, bankers, profiteers and millionaire
criminals, only SO of whom are "the
real rulers of America, according to
Ex-Ambassador Gerard.
Hoover spoke of those mountaineers,
fighting just war of national liberia

fighting for progress. True the Revo-

held black slaves and white bond slaves.

MEET TODAY TO
PLAN FINISH OF
INJUNCTIONS
Life and Death Fight
for N. Y. Workers

NEW YORK.-At the call of the
Trade Union Unity Council, dele

attending in a body, and many
worker visitors will gatehr in Man
haitian Lyceum at 1880 to plan mass
violation and an increased struggle
everywhere against the injunction
evil.
Injunctions are now issued in New
York to employers organizations in
general. When boss wants to put
over something very bad on his
workers, he joins the association
and automatically gets an injunc-
ton against them. A. F. of L. and
other company unions get injunc-
tions against any shop strike where
they have an agreement. They come
into strikes called by militant work
ers, sign up the boss, put a card in
the window and proceed to arrest
pickets.
New York's Paragraph 600" of
the state code gives prison terms
for violation of injunctions, without
trial by jury. The prisoner, on his
release, may be hailed before the
judge who granted the injunction
and sent back to prison for "con-
tempt of court"
Thousands have been arrested in
the last few years strikes in the
needle, food and shoe industries in
New York. The fight is on to the
finish.

all it's efforts.
The bosses are now spending
the billion dollars for naval
ornaments, that resulted from
the London naval conference.
Over 100000 workers walk the
streets looking for jobs and demand
ing bread. The capitalist govern
ment refuses to provide unemploy-
ment insurance, but can find billions
for naval expenditures.
Under the guise of ECONOMY"
the navy is being made efficient"
for war purposes. The capitalist
press, to aid the election campaign
of the boss parties, hides this new
war step. Their headlines blurt out
lies about cutting down of ships"
and Economy in naval expendi-
ture." The statement of Admiral
Pratt, the new chief of naval opera
tons, definitely proves this is one
of the capitalist lies,' such as the
socialists spread among the work
ers, about disarmament"
Admiral Pratt tells US that the
ships which are being strapped are
unfit for combat service" They
are unfit for war!
The bosses are preparing for war.
Hence they scrap the junk and build
new, more deadly weapons. Pratt
states that everything is being done
ito make the fleet more efficient"
He tells why ships are being
scrapped. "Our destroyers are be-
ginning to get old and shopworn,"
he admitted. With the war danger
becoming greater every day, the
bosses need new ships, not "old and
shopworn" war machinery.

except for an eventual change of
flagship, exactly as it was" Pratt
informs the workers. In the field
where the war danger is most in
tense, and where American imper-
ialism can best attack the Soviet
Union, the war strength of the navy
has been bolstered up for a long
time, and is not to be changed.
Every workers must fight against
the war preparations. Demand the
war funds go to the unemployed!

LUXURY FOR RICH;

NEW YORK.-John North WHY'S,
representative of Wall Streets gov
eminent to Poland, and former pres
ident of the slave driving WHY'S
Overland Co., has just spent 100000
for carpet and 100000 for some
Spanish tapestry. For these luxur-
les Mr.. WHY'S spent enough to feed
and clothe two hundred working
class families for an entire year.
These articles, we are told, were
bought to dress up the Palm Beach
residence, one of the three estab-
lishments which the Willyses find
necessary to their kingly existence.
In contrast, thousands of working
class families have ben evicted from
their two and three rooms, and far
more are facing eviction in the next
few months.

keep tehir families alive on SIP end

ANSWER THREAT
OF DECORATIONS:
VOTE COMMUNIST
Foreign Born Showed
on Seattle Train

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 10.-The
attack against foreign-born work
ers, to which all the capitalist par
ties are pledged, is already falling
heavily on the shoulders of large
groups of workers. A deportation
train leaves here Saturday, and will
pick up groups of foreign-born
workers on the way.
The immigration Department has
not issued the exact number of fig
ures on the number of workers to
be deported. The Communist Party,
in its election drive, is calling on all
workers to unite against the attack
on the foreign-born workers, which
is but the prelude to sharper attacks
against the native American work
ers.
A statement issued by the Pro-
visional National Committee for the
Projection of the Foreign Born,
which will soon issue a call for a
National Convention, 70 fight
against deportation and persecution
of foreign-born workers, comment
ing on the Seattle deportation
train," states:
GAS unemployment grows, as
wage-cuts, evictions and persecu-
tons increase, the ruling class tries
to stem the tide by deportation of
large numbers of foreign-born
workers"

 If enough firms hold back orders until that time and then let them en- ter the channels of trade at or near that time, the result should be worth some thousands of votes in nearly every industrial district,
