that the delegates, all members of
the officialdom of the international
unions and central bodies, could at,
tend the war preparation demon
stration.
The workers and unemployed of
Boston will give their reply by the
mass meeting Thursday at p. m.
in Franklin Union Hall and in a
mass demonstration before the A.
F. of L. convention hall in Statler
Hotel next Tuesday at 1920 in the
morning.
"Vote Communist
One answer to Hoover's speech
at the Legion denouncing revolution
and his speech at the A. F. of l..
convention denouncing any sort of
unemployment relief or insurance
will be the demand of speakers at
both the mass meeting and demon
stration for a big Communist Vote.
"Vote Communist" means to vote
for the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill, to take the funds for
the war which the president clearly
foreshadowed in his Legion speech,
and use them to pay $25 week,
with S. extra for each dependent,
to each jobless worker.
The Trade Union Unity League,
in thousands of circulars calling the
Thursday mass meeting, points out
that William Green, president of the
A. F. of L., promised Hoover, the
capitalist president of the U. S.,
last November that he would pre-
vent any strikes during the indus
trial crisis.
Both Anti-Labor.
The T. u. U. L. continues:
at is no accident that the fascist
American Legion convention takes
place at the same time in Boston
as the A. F. of L. convention. The
Legion and A. f. of L. bureaucracy
are birds of a feather, they stick
together. Both are opposed to So
cial insurance, i. e., relief during
unemployment, sickness, accident
and old age for the workers, at the
expense of the bosses. Both favor
program of making the workers
bear the full burden of the present
economic crisis. Both favor spend
ing billions of dollars for war pur-
poses but not one cent for unem-
ployment relief.
"All workers, both in the A. F.
of L. and outside, must rebel against
these fascist misleaders of labor.
They must rally around the work
ing-class program of the Trade
Union Unity League and join the
ranks of this new trade union center.
Organize to strike against wage
cuts and speed-upl Demand mem-
ployment insurance with a mini
mum of $25 weekly! All out for the
meeting Oct. 81"
Hoover in his speech to the Legion
yesterday surrounded with his usual
sloppy pacifist phraseology some
emphatic and clearly understood
anti-labor and pro-imperialist war
statements.
Half World Revolts.
After complimenting the Legion
for its inspiration for citizens" tits
murder of union organizers) he
points the reason:
"Even today one-half of the pop
ulation Of our globe is in a state of
great unrest or a state of revolu-
tion."
He boasts of the speed with which
the capitalists of America organized
war strength in 1917, and then
boasts of the preparation for the
next war.
Then, with his tongue in his
sheek, after having delivered his
message to the understanding Le-
gionnaires, Hoover speaks for the
record, and says this attempt to
conquer the world with dollars and
bullets is, of course, mot imperial
ISM"
The Legion's share in the war
preparations, Hoover outlines as
