STARVE OR FIGHT!
A Challenge to the Unemployed

by the "talkies" and the radio; craftsmen
whose careful efforts are too slow and costly
for the machine age. These men are able and
anxious to work but capitalist society has no
work for them.
Child Labor and Unemployment.
On the other hand, the employers see to il
that there is work for millions of children and
youth below 16 years of age. Children of IA
may 90 to work in al states. Only two states
have fixed the working age at 16 or above.
In the remaining states the working age is
below ID. 1t is a well known fact that child
labor laws are flagrantly evaded.
Child labor is cheap. The weekly earnings
of one-fourth of Pennsylvania child laborers
are less than $7.15, according to recent re-
port of the Department of Labor and Industry
of that state One-half of the children earned
less than $3.50 a week. About II per cent had
not completed the eighth grade at school, And
Pennsylvania is one of the "better" states re-
garding child labor legislation, specifying a
maximum of hours day and 81 hours
week for children ID years of age and over.
Georgia allows 60 hour week for Ia year old
children in textile plants. If orphans or chill
dren of widows, they may go to work at ~.
Mississippi allows boys of IL to work in tex
tiles. 1t is estimated that one child out of
every twenty engaged in industry is injured
as a result of his employment. Over 1000 ac-
cidents disabling children and youths under
18 for seven days more, are reported an
nuay in New York State. During the first
nine months of 1926 there were 2,763 work ac-
cdents to Ohio children.
With millions of adults unemployed the
children of the working class are being ex-
plotted by capitalist industry, unframed for
work and without any education, to be killed,
manned, or stunted for life.

A Correction

In "The Communist" for January, there was
a serious typographical error in the c. l. Reso-
luton on the Negro Question, on page 3d.,
where in quoting Lenin it is made to speak
of 'the right of segregation by the oppressed
countries" instead of "the right of separation"
The paragraph as corrected reads:
"The center of gravity in educating the
workers of the depressing countries in the
principles of internationalism must newt
ably consist in the propaganda and defense
by the workers of the right of separation by
the oppressed countries. We have the right
ard duty to treat every socialist of an OPP
pressing nation who does not conduct such
propaganda, as an imperialist and as
scoundrel." Uenin, selected articles on the
national question:
Another typographical error occurred in the
February issue of "The Communist" in Com
rade Zinoviev's article, on page 1913, where

reckon upon ousting individual groups of
kulaks which not only does not contradict the
retention of the kulaks as class for a GER
tain time but presupposes this. The policy of
restricting and ousting individual groups of
the kulaks does not suffice to GUST them as a
class. In order to GUST the kuaks as a class
the resistance of this class must be broken
in open fight, and they must be deprived of
the sources of production of their existence
and development. free use of the soil, prop
erty in the means of production, leasehold,
the right to employ wage labor, etc). That
is the turn in the policy Of liquidaiing the
kulaks as class. Without this, the words re-
garding oustng the kulaks as class is idle
chatter which is only useful and agreeable to
the Rights. Without this any serious still
less a compact collectivzation of the village
is unthnkable. The poor and middle peasants
of our villages, who are crushing the kulaks
and realizing compact collectivization, have
fully realized this. 1t is obvious, however,
that some of our comrades do not understand
this.
Therefore the present policy of the Party in
the village is not continuation of the old
policy but turn from the old policy of re-
stricting land ousting) the capitalist elements
in the village to the new policy of liquidating
the kulak rs class.

Unemployment in Japan Grows

Alarmed at the seriousness of the economic
crisis the Dept of Home Affairs of the Jap
anese government recently conducted an Gin
vestigation" concerning unemployment in Jap
an. The number given as the result of the
Investigation" was 26S,59O However, this
statement of the Home Department was imme-
diately challenged by several authorities in
this field as 'very inaccurate since the report
does not include apprentices, messenger boys,
student-workers, small shop keepers, ETC., who
have lost their means of living in the present
economic crisis. To this criticism the Home
Department hastily answered recognizing part
ly the inaccuracy OF. the figures.

government and which since then is frantically

anese bourgeoisie. However, it must be re-
membered that this was done at the expense
of the Japanese working class, for unless cap

Problems and Tasks of the LID.

in the A. F. of L., the Music group, whose
main purpose is to mislead the workers and
prevent them from energetic struggle against
capitalism, are acting as agents of American
imperialism within the ranks of the American
working class.
The present attacks of the bosses are d.
rect part of the extensive imperialist war pre-
parations for new and armed struggle for the
re-division of the world, and particularly for
the imperialist attack against the Soviet Union
The International Labor Defense, prole-
tartan defense organization, the American Sec
ton of the world organization, the Interna-
tional Red Aid must play an important role
in the struggle against imperialist war. This
must be especially so in the United States,
the most powerful imperalist nation and there
fore an outstanding aggressor against the
U.S.S.R.
The International Labor Defense supports in
every way all prosecuted arrested and i'm
prisoned fighters against imperialist war and
militarism.
2.-Toward a Broad Mass Defense 2
Organization.
This period of growing acute conflicts be-
tween the workers and their oppressors calls
for quick turning in the methods of struggle
the organizational forms and the whole ap-
proach of the l. L. D. to the American working
class, so that it will rapidly become broad
mass defense organization of the native as
well as the foreign-born, of the Negroes as
we'll as the white workers.
Support of struggles for self-defense will be
the main issue in all mass struggles. It must
be linked up closely with the whole question
of struggle against capitalist class justice.

THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR DEFENSE,
at its Fourth National Convention, adopted
a resolution on the General Situation, the
Problems and the Future Tasks of the LID,
giving an analysis of the present economic and
political situation and outlining the problems
and tasks of the LID. The resolution deals
with the following questions:
1.-The Present Economic and Political
Situation in the U. S.
The United States is today in period Of
rapidly developing crisis which has its cause
in the growing disproportion between the pro-
ductive capacity of American industry and the
consumptive capacities of the markets and is
accompanied by tremendously growing un-
employment.
In order to further increase the exploitation
of the American workers and place the burden
of the economic crisis upon them, American
Imperialism, under the leadership of President
Hoover, modified the most powerful forces of
the American trusts and banking interests in
the "National Business Council" These at
tempts to "organize" American capitalism in
order to overcome its inherent contradictions,
must meet with failure. Only in a country
where capitalism is abolished, and where the
workers and farmers control the government,
can production and distribution be organized
and planned
The growing attacks upon the American
workers, only further sharpen their resistance
against this capitalist offensive. Only through
sharp class struggle can the workers improve
their miserable conditions.
In the struggle against the working class,
American capitalism is not only mobilizing all
its economic forces, but more than ever before,
capitalism is merged with the government ma
chine, as exampfied in Gastonia and Illinois.
This active participation of the government as
a strikebreaker brings out clearly the political
Characterization of the workers struggles.
In meeting the offensive of the bosses and
the attacks of the government, the American
workers recognize more than ever their duty
to defend themselves and organize workers
defense corps to protect their lives and organ
izations against the growing terror of the
bosses.
The bosses attack against the workers is
supported by the American Federation of La
Dor and the socialist party whose role is that
of social fascists. The agreement between
Green and Hoover further exposes the strike
breaking role of the A. F. of L. The socialist
party's support of the National Business
Council' shows that it is a partner to the
imperialists' war plans and attacks upon the
standard of living of the American working
class. The S. P. as we'll as the cleft" wing

Old Age and Unemployment.

Old Age and Unemployment
FORTY years of age is now pretty generally
l accepted as the dividing line between get
ting and not getting job today. Some con-
Germs place an even lower limit for applicants
for employment. On the other hand there are
still thousands of workers over 40 at their
jobs and some of these workers might find
unemployment if they were laid off But the
keen cutting edge of the industrial gullotine
moves faster and the older worker is the one
most apt to lag behind in the production
gang
The worker over forty therefore, is the first
candidate for unemployment. The first to be
laid off, the least likely to be re-hired. In
the midst of phenomenal dividends and the
amassing of huge private fortunes, the ma
jority of the working class scarcely
enough to exist. 1t is impossible for them to
put anything aside for old age. 1t has been
estimated that there are in the country about
100000 persons-at least third Of, the
population IS years of age and over-unem-
playable and unprovided for. A few states
give a miserable pittance called pension to
perhaps a thousand of these unfortunates.
The others drift to the charities and to the
poor houses. Here, herded in filthy and over
crowded barracks, fed like animals, robbed of
all pretense of self respect and privacy, the
aged poor live out their last chapter of ex-
ploitation.
Into the ranks now comes new supply of
cast-offs, workers in the prime of life, forty,
fifty, sixty years old. Among them are skilled
mechanics whose skill is no longer required by
the machine; musicians thrown out of work

Barnard Pulls Old Gag To

BY ERNEST BARNARD
President The American League

CHICAGO, April I2.-tP-The
American League race for 1880 will
be tighter than it has been for five
years. I will be greatly surprised II
the pennant winner is decided be-
fore late in September.
II is doubtful II any club will be
able to win 100 games. I am inclined
to believe the club that wins more
than 80 games VIII be the cham
pions.
I believe the public recognized
the fact that the clubs that did not
figure much in the 1929 race have
strengthened. The owners Of the
clubs in question are entitled TO
much praise for the aggressive eff
forts they have made to present a
stronger front in the campaign Of
1880. That thew have been success
full in such efforts will be domen-
strated before the season is two
months old.
