liant workers in revolutionary
journalism.
In face of the serious and grow.
ing unemployment and the wage
cutting campaign which will become
more drastic, the Workers Cores
pondents must make it their special
task to report on unemployment
evictions, wage cuts, speed-up, con-
ditions of the young, Negro, and
women workers.
The Workers Correspondents,
however, have not completed their
task by writing for the revolution
airy paper. They must try to or
ganize for mass distribution and
sale of the paper at their shop
which contains their articles. In
fact, the Workers Correspondent
must become booster for the re-
volutionary paper in his shop,
union, ETC., as well as participate
in all the struggles.
these are but lew OF the tasks
that the conference, in our opinion,
must undertake to solve. The i'm
provement of our revolutionary
press, it's spreading among the
masses, its depicture of the growing
struggle, are tasks of tremendous
Importance and the conference in
New York must be the beginning Of
a series of conferences to be held in
all industrial centers.
Best wishes for the success Of
your conference!

"Chief Foe of Communism"
Before Hoover spoke, the conven-
ton, drenched with American flags
and booze and band music, heard
democratic party Mayor James M.
Curley and republican Governor
Frank G. Allen vie with each other
in verbal bouquets to the A. F. of
L. and attacks on the Communists.
Allen declared: "The A. F. of L,
has for so years been one of the
staunchest bulwarks in defense of
American institutions"
Curley attacked teh demonstra-
ton of the starving unemployed in
Cleveland, who demanded unem-
ployment insurance when Hoover
spoke to the bankers convention
there. He told the A. F. of L
it was the principal fighter against
Communism, and said: "To stem the

Green's Introductory remark laud

Green plotted beforehand as to how
best to fool the workers reading his
speech.
The A. F. L. delegates didn't have
to be fooled. Hoover was able tt
compliment them openly on theil
treachery to the exploited workers
and jobless. He praised the A. F
L. aid in making these starving
men bear the whole burden of the
crisis as follows: "For the first
time in more than a century Of
these recurring depressions we have
been practically free of bitter indus

South Bend, Ind.
Dear Comrades:
People are about dying. No
work anywhere in South Bend.
Studebaker Corporation is about
to close up. Their wood shop,
that is the main branch, where a
worker can make his living is
moving to the southern part of
the country.
The machine shop and assem-
bly,, etc., are planning to work
only two days a week for the
month of October and then they
are closing the plant entirely.
My estimation of people in
South Bend without work must be
around 10000.
We hope to establish Unem-
ployed Councils within two weeks.

35 per cent more than at the last
elections. The splendid victories of
the Communist Party in the indus
trial areas demonstrate the speedy
revolutionization of the masses.
"The fascists have made tremen-
dous gains and these gains have a
double significance. First of all they
show that temporarily the German
bourgeoisie has succeeded in holding
back a large section of the radical
masses from communism. On the
other hand, however, millions of
land workers, small tradesmen,
clerks, unemployed workers and
even factory workers, particularly
the youthful section, have voted for
the anti-capitalist slogans of the
fascists. They voted for the fascists
because they believed them to be
fighters for the social emancipation
of the masses and against the Yer
sailles Treaty and the Young Plan.
The millions who have voted for the
fascists are millions who are nc
longer willing to live on in the old
fashion and are seeking for new
path. The tremendous success OF
the fascists is a striking proof OF
the decomposition of the bourgeois
order in Germany.
"The social democrats have lost
about 100000 votes despite the fact
that the total poll has increased by
millions. This means that the So
cialists have lost the support of
about million workers. In Berlin,
in the Ruhr district, in Upper Sile-
STA, in Halle and in other industrial
areas the social democrats are
weaker than the communists. The
result of the elections shows that
the industrial workers are turning
away from the social democracy.
"The decay of the old bourgeois
part is obvious.
"The magnificent victory of the
Communist Party, the millions Of
fascist voters who reject the Young
Plan, the severe defeat of the social
democracy, the decay of the bour-
geois parties, that is the balance of
year of the economic world crisis.
This crisis will be intensified in the
near future and particularly in Ger

employed workers according to

Further wage reductions for broad
masses of the workers are coming.
"Our successes must not rise to
our heads. We must mercilessly
expose the deficiencies of our strug-
gle against national and social fas-
cism. The whole party and all its
members must learn the lessons of
the elections.
"The elections clearly show the
approaching sharper class struggle.

the tide with the fascist dictator
ship. Undoubtedly the development
of the social democracy towards fas-
cism will proceed at an ever increas-
ing pace. The Communist Party
must mobilize and organize the mas
ses of the toilers for a counter
offensive. The ten years of revolu-
tionary experience and the bolshe-
visit firmness of the German Conn
munist Party give US the guarantee
that it will carry out its role as
the historic leader of the German
proletariat. Long live the Commun-
list Party of Germany, the fighting
advance guard of the German pro-
letariat! Long live the proletarian

figures showed 1000 major con-
flicts, while this crisis had shown
only 300, mostly minor"
Hoover complimented the fat boys
on their ability to make the workers
displaced by machinery take the loss
of their jobs with good grace and
make those remaining work all the
harder for the few jobs left, with
no provision whatever for those
displaced.
He lied when he said that since
.. labor gives its full and un-
restricted effort to reduce costs by
the use of these machines and meth
DDS, the saving from these reduced
costs shall be shared between labor
employer and consumer" The lie
was a stupid one, for his own as
sistant secretary of commerce has
just published the fact that labor
saving devices have since 1925
caused an increase in production of
SO per cent, and during the same
period (before the present wage
cuts) wages increased only 3 per
cent.
He lied further when he said that
100000 workers displaced by ma
chinery according to Labor Depart
ment figures during the last ten
years were, "someway, somehow
reestablished in new industry
and new services"
For Coal Monopoly.
Hoover came out for a coal mon
opoly, to "reduce destructive COM
petition " and for "part time work
instead of an unemployment DOLE"
Hoover lied again when he said
the unemployment crisis was "far
less than one-half in proportion to
our workers than in either England
or Germany"
And Hoover lied again when he
said that ain the large sense our
manufacturing companies, railways,
utilities and business houses have
been able to maintain the estab-
hshed wages. Employers have
spread their employment system
atically." His own Labor Depart
ment admits $4,000 railroad work
ers fired in two months.
In the face of all these lies, the
sold-out international union rack
eteer officials cheered him.
Another Fake Remedy.
Just before Hoover's speech the
Legislative council of the A. F. L.
reported to the convention in the
luxurious Statler Hotel that it's plan
for reducing unemployment was
funding of buying power" and pro-
posed nine points for more fascis-
ization of government through ma
tlonal economic councils, ETC., more
public works, more vocational train
ing and investigations"
All workers were barred from the
Hoover speech. Special tickets were
issued only to delegates and invited
guests. 1t is significant that in this
crisis and pre-war period, comes the
first presidential address to an A.
F. L. convention since Wilson's war
speech in 1917.
With Boston wide open for the
two big fascist conventions, and
boozejoints, brothels and gambling
dives doing a sizzling trade, the po-
lice arrested Anna Brown, unem-
ployed worker, distributing leaflets

with his tongue in cheek at the
masses, further declared that the
fascist, chauvinist American Legion,
with its constant agitation for in

guarantee of it's continuance" And,
for fear that hisc meaning would
not get across to some of the Legion

From present aspects, terrific

Brazil in reality is a stage in the
onrushing war between Great Brit
ain and the United States for DOM
nation in Latin America. No word
has come from Washington to date
as to the attitude of the Hoover
regime toward the civil war in Bra
I'll. However, there is little doubt
that the Wall Street government is
rapidly maneuvering it's forces to
aid Vargas, while British imperial
ism is strongly bolstering up the

Communists Active.
With the crisis in Brazil excep-
tionally severe, there is widespread
mass discomfort throughout the en-

exploiting this discomfort and rad
realization to the full, putting up
the hypocritical slogans of fighting
against imperialism, norder tc
utilize the mass uprising in the in

The Communist Party of Brazil
which faces grave dangers, due tc

mobilizing the workers to fight in
their own interests, and against the
tools of both imperialist powers.

Not all the acts in the five-ring
judicial circus now playing in Tam
many Hall will be performed. Mr..
futile and Mr.. Norman Thomas
and Gov. Roosevelt and the capital
list newspapers will see to that. The
juggling acts will go on, as will
some of the acrobats, but the magi-
clans, those who were to pull evil
dence of judicial graft out of hidden
safety deposit boxes, have suddenly
lost their skill or have "disap-
peared."
1t has been decided by the "59"
who rule America that nothing of
real Importance shall be divulged
about the method of buying judge
ships. America is passing through
the worst depression in its history
and the working class is in what
the bosses call dangerous mood"
The Communicated demonstration
in Cleveland against Hoover and for
"Bread or Work" is proof of that.
There, for the first time in Amer
lean history, president was
escorted out of a meeting hall by
holders with fixed bayonets, while
machine gun companies on nearby
roofs were given order to sweep the
surrounding streets with bullets if
the starving workers approached too
close to the president.
Newspapers Protect Tammany.
The Importance Of this incident
was hidden by every capitalist news
paper in teh land, without excep-
ton, just as the New York news
papers are trying desperately to
put the kuietus on news of corrup-
ton in Tammany. 1t has been de-
cided by the capitalist powers that
be that only enough graft charges
shall be hurled in Tammany's teeth
to allow Tuttle to make a "respec-
table" showing against Roosevent in
the coming election.
They realize well that if all the
Tammany beans are spilled, the
working class might get an insight
into the barbarous system that en-
slaves them to a few thousand mil
lionaires, and bring nearer the day
when workers will destroy the whole
kit and kiboodle Of capitalism along
with it's three parties, republican,
democratic and false socialist"
The kid gloves with which the
Disappearance" of Judge Crater is
handled is proof in point. On Aug

he was about to be questioned in re-
