&l!!:als~..A-
cooperative Christianity"
By JORGE

In booty Brooklyn there are strong survivals
of what are known as good people" regular
church goers perhaps. Anyway there are
churches. And the whole pack of them have
got together to corner the salvation market.
The racket goes under the name of the Brook
lyn Federation of Churches" and it publishes
a paper called-"The Federation News"
This paper of the Federation isn't suitable
for anything. No, not a thing. It's filled
with ads of scab laundries where Negro wom-
en- are forced to work 10 and IL hours day
at starvation wages and other such joints.
But the Federation itself is busy. If the
Communist Party is not doing its duty of or
ganizing the workers in factories of Brook
Ign, the same hardness can't be charged up
to the Brooklyn Church Federation. God is
going in for Shop Nuclei. And under the
heading of Factory Meetings" the Fedora
tons paper of Oct. IL, says that Gods Board
of Directors are holding monday meetings
in the shops and factories of Brooklyn. The
paper says it stands for cooperative Chris
tianty." By which it means to cooperate
with the bosses against the workers.
These meetings are supposed to be about
"Americanization' But the paper gives the
game away by saying:
I'm view of the activity of the Commu-
nists among the factory and shop workers,
something must be done to counterfeit the
false impressions which these workers are
receiving of both the church and the state"
"And the state! Notice this! The preach
ers think it their business to explain that
Tammany Hall is divine institution and that
Hoover derives his power from Heaven. One
of the first things to ask these birds if they
show up in your factory is what connection
is there between the government and the
churches and why. You might follow it up
with some other ones like the following:
Is the church responsible for the govern
ment corruption seen every hand? Does
God approve of the speed-up? Why is it that
when His Children were starving in the will
derness, it rained flapjacks, according to the
Bible, while here and now it rains only black
jacks?
How is it that some of the "dle" live in
the best hotels and go to Palm Beach, while
most of them live in tenements and get evicted
if they can't scrape up the rent? Can and
does the speaker live on the same amount you
get as wages? If we have free country,
tell US why the boss let's you speak to US at
noon time without the least trouble, but calls
the cops to arrest Communist who tries the
same thing?
There are lots more questions we leave to
the workers to figure out, but the above will
provide the hypocrite with something to chew
on till the whistle blows.

the "stagger' or part time SYSTEM
Hoover grabbed at the idea. So did the
other boss representatives. 1t was fine idea
to put the entire burden of relief on the
backs of the working class. 1t wouldn't cost
the bosses cent to put two men to work at
one job; make them work more time than one
man would work, and pay them, together, less
wages than one man usually earns on the
same job. Then, too, it fitted right in with
Hoover's wage cutting drive.
1t would result in a direct wage cut for
from 100000 to 100000 workers of any
where from one-third to half. Those on the
jobs barely get enough to live on now. Hun
dreds of thousands OF workers are forced to
aid in the support of some unemployed mem
Der of their family. Hoover's "stagger sys-
tem," or "The Evening World" puts it, "U.
S. Urges Part Time For All Workers." would
result in these already low wages being
slashed.
This is just what the bosses have been after
for a long time. Owen D. Young said the
standard of living of the American workers
must come down. The A. F. of L. fascist
leaders have been doing their best to push the
wage cut campaign along. Wage cuts were
put into force in hundreds of plants. But
the bosses not satisfied. They wanted

The Fight for the Streets in N. 7

Elizabeth we call up the chief of police and
INFORM him that we are going to hold a meet
ing, without going through further red tame
Meetings held here since have been successful
Thousands of workers of the Singer Sewing
Machine Co. listen enthusiastically to our
shop gate meetings.
New Brunswick
The application for permit here was re-
fused by Chief of Police O'Connell, We i'm
medlately made statement declaring that we
intend to Tight for, the workers rights to the
streets. The papers printed it widely and
5,oo0 workers came to the meeting Two COM
rades were arrested before the meeting started
but were Immediately released since there was
no definite charge against them When we
returned to hold the meeting, the crowd was
still there. Tire fascist Veterans of FOREIGN
Wars had, however, arranged to break up the
meeting and started fight during which
many were beaten up. The police were con-
spicuously absent from the meeting For the
next meeting we sent the police written
notification which was also sent to the press.
The police stated that they would not inter-
fere with the meetingl The veterans were
again at the meeting. 10000 workers came,
too We had another fight. At the third meet
ing the same thing occurred but the Veterans
got such beating that they decided to let
up bit. Party open air meetings have since
been held in New Brunswick.
Newark
For years we have had to hold meetings in
the Newark parks because the chief of police
told us that there was a police ordinance
against street meetings This in spite of the
fact that the Salvation Army, republicans,
democratic and socialist parties held street
meetings. The application for meeting this
year was at first denied. Here believe that
the Section Committee was slow in coming to

lief" would suit them fine. They would make
money out of it!
Here are some facts which every worker
must keep in mind when reading the capitalist
fake "relief" schemes.
% The crisis is getting worse all the time
and this winter production will be at the low

BY LOTTIE BARTON.

THIS year the Communist Party of New Jer-
sey has made much Roadway in reaching
the workers by means of street meetings. In
previous years we have had much trouble in
getting police permission for street meetings
and we must record that our Party did little
or nothing in fighting for our rights to the
streets. Even now there is reluctance on the
part of the units and the Section Committee
fSec. 10, Newark too, is slow in putting up a
fight Our experiences in most parts of New
Jersey show us that now, when we are in the
midst of an election campaign, when the capt.
talist parties are a little careful of being
branded as partial even against Commu-
nsts, is the right time to insist upon our
rights as workers to the streets. Our exper-
fence has shown that in most places the po-
lice will give in when they see that we are
determined to fight, although we must have
no illusions about the ia 1t that they let us
hold meetings. We must at all times be pre-
pared for struggle. In arranging for these
meetings without permits, it is important that
we have the capitalist press "expose" their
masters. Especially in small towns, where
most of the news is syndicated or else social,
the papers will welcome little "local" news.
1t was through properly using the local press,
that we succeeded in drawing 10000 workers
to an open air meeting in New Brunswick,
without distributing single leaflet.
Elizabeth
The State Election Campaign Committee ar
ranged an open air meeting for Elizabeth.
Two comrades were arrested and the chief of
police made statement that was printed in
all the papers, that no Communist meetings
would be permitted. We made a statement
that the meeting would be held, permit or no
permit. We came to the corner and found
several police waiting We started the meet
ing, and continued for over hours. Now in

More Insults

We perceive that the "insult" epidemic has
spread out like Spanish influenza and is now
loose on the great plains of Oklahoma.
Secretary of War Hurley was making a
campaign speech at Oklahoma City, and the
boss press tells US that when he was getting
into an auto to leave for the railway station,
two men out of crowd that pressed around,
began hurting questions at Hurley:
why are you sending troops to China to
fire on the workers." was just one of the
questions the boss press gives. But it says
there were more like it. The press goes on to
say that when Hurley refused to answer and
told the chauffeur to step on the gas, one
man shouted: II know you didn't have the
CUTS of yellow cur!'
1t adds that-"Police arrested both men,"
1t seems that they were expecting too much
from secretary of war.

decision to make fight. Especially is this
the case because the argument that was put
up in other cities that we do not have enough
comrades to put up fight, does not hold true
here. / believe, also, that it was incorrect for
the Section Committee to instruct the Young
Communist League to call off an anti-lynch
meeting because the police did not give per-
NIT. An important issue like this could have
been dramatized by holding the meeting. A
test meeting arranged by the l. L. D. and the
American Civil Liberties Union flopped, be-
cause after two were arrested, the Civil Liber-
ties Union held the meeting in private lot,
and so the issue of meetings on the streets
was completely covered up. The papers fea-
tured the fact that New York professors spoke
IN Newark lot, when the police refused to
let them talk on the streets. When the Civil
Liberties Union lawyer insisted on trying the
cases of the |. L. D. representative and the
civil Liberties Union separately, and as the
judges decision different in both cases,
1T became clear against which organization the
police were fighting and also showed the diff
ference in the tactics between the professors
and the militant workers. Another meeting
was arranged, this time without the liberals.
and before that meeting, the campaign man
ager OF the Party was given permits for street
corner meetings!
Jersey City. !,
Ihere has been unit of the Partv in Jer-
sey City since the split with the S. P Open
air meetings, however, have never been held.
The Section Committee kept putting us off be-
cause we would not be able to follow it up,
we DO not have enough comra1e-. etc. The
Young Communist League took the initiative
IN asking for permit for all International
Youth Day meet. 1t was refused. We replied
that we intended to hold meeting We were
called into the chiefs office, and told that if
we attempted to hold meeting we would all
be given ride. We made formal appeal
to the city commission and received letter
to go to see the chief. In the meantime a
statement was published by the Election Cam
paign Committee endorsing the youth meeting,
and calling upon the workers to attend the
meeting. The campaign manager went to see
the chief of police and was given written
permit for the meeting.
These experiences show the Importance Of
the fight for the streets. The argument that
we haven't the forces does not hold water It
is through such meetings that we have been
able to revive and get new elements into the
movement. There is no reason that the forces
cannot be so distributed so that we can follow
up our successes. Failure to do this means q
neglect of an important way to reach the
workers in the election campaign.
