SOCIALIST" PARTY
DISGUSTS WORKER
(Bg Worker Correspondent


CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-While for
many years / never heard anything
about the socialist" party, last
week l found in my mail box a cir
cular with the title: "What is So
cialism?" issued by the Socialist
party of Chicago.
Reading it over carefully l found
that sour teachers, professors,
speakers, newspaper editors and
writers, and even ministers, doctors
and all professional men are more
and more at the mercy of the capt.
talist system and dependent upon
it." Wondering why the social
lists should worry about ministers,
editors, etc., reminded myself that
the national leader of the socialist
party is minister, Rev. Norman
Thomas, and the editor Of the Lib
erty magazine and co-partner of the
Chicago Tribune, Captain Patterson,
is former socialist.
The socialists" themselves ex-
plain it as follows:
"Many of the most devoted be-
levers in the golden rule and the
brotherhood Of man have discovered
that socialism is the program by
which their hopes may be realized"
49,. And SO is the House Of David,
Sister MACPHERSON of Los Angeles
and the Holy Rollers.
Reading on I was informed that
"The socialist party, while it is
revolutionary in its final aim, is
none the less distinctly evolutionary
and constructive in it's method"
And to prove how terribly revolu-
tionary they are in their "final'
aims, they state on the next page:
-. "Such measures Capitalist
reforms) can stop some of the mis-
cry caused by capitalism, but the
main reason for our favoring such
measures is that, If logically car
ried out. they offer the possibility
Of peaceful, lawful and orderly
Transformation of society. -"
/ was shocked by such "revolu-
tionary aims, and began to see Red
-. when turned around to the red
hot stove into which l dropped the
"final aims" Of the socialist" fax
ers. -.

MANUFACTURERS SAY
CRISIS IS JUST HUMAN

NEW YORK.--Among the re,
markable series of proposition,
presented by the officers and coun.
sci Of the National Association OF
Manufacturers for guidance of the
members in convention assembled
were the following:
l. Industry has become national
and even international, and is so
complicated that one mind can
hardly grasp II.
2. The unemployment problem
must not be handled by the federal
or state government but should be
left to the trade, the business, the
plant, and the municipality.
5. Business is bad over nearly
the whole world, and depressions
may be expected to reeur until
human nature changes.
4. The function of our govern
ment is political not economic.
5. The associations lobbyists
worked for the (Grundy) tariff bill.
6. Some European countries
might be more prosperous if they
repealed their tariffs.
The associations econ m lists
startled outside statisticians with
the proposition that business inn
proved in September and will con-
tinue to improve.

MORE JOBS THAN
MEN in U.S.. S. R
Compare With 5000, 900
Starving Jobless Here!

NEW YORK.--At the same time
that reports all over the United
States show worsening crisis and
increased unemployment, A. M
Tsikohn, Commissar of Labor in the
Soviet Union, declared that there
is severe shortage of workers in
the U. S. S. r.
In construction work alone
Tsikohn states, there is a lack OF
100000 workers, and in July
throughout all Soviet industry there
was shortage Of 100000 workers
This included both skilled and un,
skilled. With the rapid advance Of
the five year plan, and the build.
ing up of socialism, the shortage
of workers in the Soviet Union has
been steadily growing at a faster
pace than unemployment grows in
the capitalist lands.
AS a result of the labor shortage
the Commissar of Labor has issued
a decree that workers who cannot
Immediately find work in their spe-
cial trade, must accept work al
other trades or at unskilled labor.
Here is the sharp contrast of
what is happening where the work
ers rule, and are planning and build
ing up Communist society in the
interest of the workers, and what
is going on in the capitalist coun-
tries, with conditions worsening
daily. Vote Communist!

turn for a $25O,0OO bride, but for
tax evasion. THIGH charge was OBJ
viously picked because there was a
good probability that the jury would
not convict, and if it did, the pen
atty would be relatively small.
Furthermore, it doesn't sound near
ly as bad for judge to be sent
to Jail for lodging taxes--every
good capitalist considers that a duty
as it does for robbing a widow,
or taking a $250,000 bride.
Judge Vause's associates in the
banking concern which started with
Sl2S and ended with an indebtedness
of S4S5,o00 are as revealing as his
own corruption. The president of the
Columbia Finance Corp. was Solo,
mon Cruso. The secretary was Harry
Cruso. Both are we'll known Social
lists. Sol. Cruso divided an office
before being convicted in the Column
bia fraud, with Baxuch Zuckerman,
leader of the Paoli Zion, a Jewish
chauvinist organization; one of
list" party and connected with yell
low socialist Forward. When the ma
tional socialists held an anniversary
meeting last Saturday, Norman
Thomas was present and extended
his blessing.
Included among the "notables"
who were business associates of the
Cruso, both of VIII n admitted in
court that they looted the Columbia
Finance Corp, are Jacob Fishmap,
editor Of the Jewish Morning Jour-
nal; Morris Rotherberg, well-known
Zionist and former partner of Pan
ken, one of the leaders of the "so-
cialist' party and Mayor James ].

turned from recent vocation in
Havana with one of his lovliest
friends, that 81 know Judge Vause

is keeping him out of Jail despite
his conviction of the tax evasion
charge.

Socialists Pave the
Way in Germany for
Fascist Dictatorship

BERLIN.-The Prussian OF t o
Braun government resolved to carry
out the emergency enactments is
sued by Bruening under Article As,
the poll-tax, the municipal beer and
municipal traffic taxes.
1t is not by accident that the So
cialist government, soon after the
election, resolves to carry out this
pillage with the aid of dictatorship
enactments. The socialist party
shows hereby that it is smoothing
the path for the fascist dictator
ship.
The permanent committee for the
safeguarding of the rights of the
peoples representatives was called
by its president, the social democrat
Henke, on the third day following
the Reichstag election, in order to
confer on a demand drafted for 6
taxation gift of 60 millions for the
owning classes. The Communist
representative brought in opposing
motions, demanding the immediate
resignation of the Bruening govern,
ment, the cancelment of the emer.
gency enactments on poll-tax, un.
married persons tax, officials
emergency tax, reduction of unem
ployed and sick insurance and wal
disabled pensions, the remittance Of

ties in aid of the unemployed whose
social welfare benefit has run Out
and the immediate convocation OF
the newly elected Reichstag.
The social democrats joined the
bourgeois parties in rejecting the
Communist motions. The social
democrats were prepared to vote
for part of the 60 millions to be
given to the owning classes by way
of taxation, and were in principle
not opposed to the whole PROPOSE
ton, only suggesting a change of
date for the enactment.

LONDON. - Hardin reports a

Socialists, Judge Vause Steal $485,OOO
Thomas Blesses Culbrits' Organization

and If a worker looks at one cross
eyed, he may find himself clapped
in Jail for contempt of court. 1t is
for this reason that judges can COM
init almost any crime without fear
of punishment, for if judges are
caught breaking the law, workers
will obtain an insight into the real
nature of capitalist justice.
Judges Rarely Go to Jail
When by some miracle of capital
list stupidity judge is caught red
handed, veil of mystery is hung
about the case and the chances of
the judge being tried are about one
in two or three million. AS for a
judge being jailed, diligent search
among dusty records has revealed
only one such anomaly, and he was
quickly pardoned by President Har-
ding.
Let us take the case Of Judge
Vause, who is no more of thief
than most of the judges in New
York and less so than many of them.
In 1927 the Columbia Finance
Corp. was started with a total cap
ital of $12s. Two years later the
company failed with an Indebtedness
of ,485,000. The difference between
the two sums is approximately
what Judge Vause and hi sfriends
pocketed for lending their names to
the enterprise, which, like the ven
lures of Judge Martin, were organ
lied for the one purpose Of mulcting
the investors.
Forged $4,000 Note
Judge Vause's methods were
somewhat more crude than those of
his colleagues. Whereas most judges
are wise enough to confine their
crooked deals to friends or business
men whose interests would be
harmed if the transactions were
made public, Vause was so careless
as to forge strangers name to a
note on which he borrowed" $4,000
from his own company.
1t was because of little "slips"
of this nature that It was discovered
that Vause, while he was on the

bench, was given $250,OoO by the
United American Lines for negoti.
ating the transfer of piers "a and
Sc.
But if would be a mistake to be-
lieve that Judge Vause chung to the
entire $250,0O0. A large portion of
the loot went, through necessity,
to Mister John McCooey, Tammany
leader of Brooklyn, who sees to it
that very little graft is transferred
in Brooklyn without some of it
sticking to him.
An untouched biography of Mr..
McCooey, who is the living compo-
site picture of every bartender in
the world, would place him high in
the ranks of the great rotterdam
dts. McCooey rules Brooklyn as no
feudal lord dared rule his fief, and
his work is duly appreciated by the
$50"
AS consequence, the entire
blame for the pier lease steal was
born by Vause. There is only one
McCooey but there are many
Vauses-almost any Judge could do
as well. Better, if anything, for he
would steal as much and probably
wouldn't get caught.
Fleeced Widow of $4,000
Vause's great heart EMBODIED all
humanity, especially that part of it
that was wealthy. When he was
asked to take care of widows
$4,000 estate, he declared his sense
of duty wouldn't permit him to re-
fuse. The widows estate is today
worth somewhat less than the post
age stamp it would take to inform
her of the fact.
Desperate attempts were made
to keep Judge Vause from going to
trial. He feigned insanity and &C.
tually tried to bride the alienists
who were delegated to examine him.
When he was finally convicted it
was not for Fleeing hundreds of
get-rich-quick investors, nor for
forging a strangers name to note,
nor for robbing a widow of $4,000,

Crisis Is Worse
In Peru: Mass
Unrest Grows

The fascist clique, headed by
Sanchez Cerro, which ousted the
Wall Street puppet government of
Leguia, is now faced with a wor-
SEEMING of the economic crisis in
Peru.
A New York Times dispatch from
Puma, Peru, states the "econonn-
icaP revolution is just beginning
at is a fact" says this same re-
port, "however, that Peruvian bonds
have been going down steadily on
the stock market in New York. Ex-
change rates of the Peruvian sol on
the American dollar have also been
declining. The effects are wide
spread in country like this, which
produces little, imports much and
depends on one or two staple crops
for livelihood"
The great mass unrest, which
aided the overthrow of Leguia, will
not be quoted by the empty phrases
of Cerro. Meanwhile, the Cerro
forces are trying to defect the
mass discomfort by either instigat-
ing or permitting so-called anti
American riots, which are mass DEM
onstrations against American inn
perialism.
The change Of government does
not mean any change whatever for
the mass of peasants and workers,
whose conditions were brought to a
miserable level under Leguia. The
world agrarian crisis, which is espe-
cially gripping Latin America, has
tight hold on Peru. The Terro
government, based on the petty
bourgeois imperialist tools who
squeeze as much as they can from
the masses, will have hard shedding.
The masses will not rest content
with empty promises.
Furthermore, imperialist antag-
onisms are growing sharper. Wall
Street handed Leguia millions of
dollars for building roads in far
away mountain passes. The bank
ers are beginning to become fright
ened at the fall of the bond quota
tions. Added to the situation in
Peru is the growing unrest through
out the rest of Latin America, and
the increasing danger of war be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States.
