FOrmOsa Battle Jap
Stores; Capture Guns

TOXIC (By MaiD Fifteen thou
sand natives are up in arms against
Japanese imperialism on the island
Of Formosa. Numerous police sta
tons have been attacked and de-
Stroyed. In the town of Hikeh the
insurrectionaries captured hundreds
of rifles. In the town of Musha the
national flag has been hoisted. The
Japanese authorities have sent in
fantry regiments and 600 armed
police to quell the rising.
Commenting on the instruction
the "Pravda" points out that there
have been constant risings in For
mosa where the peasants are very
much under the influence of the ma
tional-revolutionary movement in
China. Last year the japanese
authorities carried out mass arrests
on account of Communist propa-
ganda. The revolutionary movement
on FormoSa is part and parcel of the
national-revolutionary struggle in the
colonial and semi-colonial countries.
The movement will undoubtedly de-
velop into a general attack on jap
anese imperialism and on the native
bourgeoiSie which is allied with it.

FACE WAGE CUTS
M'Donald Govt Aids
Bosses Drive

LONDON, Nov. 16-Wage cuts af-
fecting 100000 workers are being
proposed by the four great railway
companies here and the leading coal
bosses. The way for the carrying out
of these wage cuts has been opened
up by the MacDonald's government
action against sthe workers. Mac
Donald's policy has been to aid the
the British bosses increase their
profits at the expense of the workers.
The proposed wage cut against the
100000 railroad and coal workers is
just the beginning of general wage
cut drive. 1t is part of the wage
slashing campaign going on through
out the world with the help of the
socialists and the yellow trade union
leaders. In the United States Green
& Co. head the wage cut drive.
In Germany the betrayal of the
metal strike of 10000 laid the basis
for drastic wage cuts for all workers.

CRISIS HITS CAL.
NEGRO WORKERS
Force Woman to Sell
Selves to Live
(By a Worker Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Cal-The crisis
has hit California very hard. Al
though the bosses try to cover up by
keeping the unemployed moving from
place to place, the ugly facts are,
nevertheless, clearly apparent.
There is a large number of unem-
ployed Mexican workers here who are
becoming restless as they see their
families slowly starving and every
now and then open rebellion breaks
out. Some militant Mexican work
er takes his rifle and shoots it out
with his oppressors, usually killing
several before hastily deputized Le-
gionnaires cowardly lynch him. The
papers always report these outbreaks
as the work of a whiskey or dope
crazed Mexican.
Negro workers are simply refused
any employment, whatsoever and in
order to continue existence the COL
ored women are forced into prosti-
tuition. They sell their bodies for
Is cents or so cents, whatever it will
bring.
If Negroes apply to the social well
fare agency for aid the supervisor,
Mrs. E, Arbuckle adroitly suggest that
the women get out and hustle for
themselves.

GENERAL STRIKE IN SPAIN
THREATENS FASCIST RULE

hire strike breakers to run street
cars and other public utilities under
heavily armed guards.
The reformist trade union leaders,
who have an alliance with the re-
publican bourgeoisie, have ordered
electrical power plant workers back
to their jobs in order not to COM
pletely paralyze Madrid, and thus
temporize the sharpness of the
struggle.
The Communist Party of Spain and
the revolutionary opposition in the
trade unions is calling upon the
workers to take the leadership in the
struggles, not only against the mon
archy and fascism, but as well against
the capitalist republicans and their
socialist allies.
In those sections of industry where
the general strike has not been COM
pleted, Communists and revolution
airy union members are picketing the
plants, calling on the workers to walk
out on the general strike. The main
attack of the Berenguer government
is against the Communists and revo-
lutionary working-class organiza-
lions, as the bourgeoisie and social
lists can always be counted upon to
compromise with the monarchy If the
struggle becomes more serious.
Many clashes have taken place in
Madrid between strikers and police.
Mounted police and soldiers are pa
trolling the streets. Street cars were
smashed. Throughout the city work.
ers are raising the cry of "Revolu-
toni" The socialists are attempting
to direct this revolutionary upsurge
into bourgeois channels calling for
the establishment of a republic
meaning capitalist republic without
any amelioration of the terrible con-
ditions of the workers.
The Madrid general strike, which
will undoubtedly spread to other in
dustrial and commercial centers, is
the elimination of a whole series OF
strikes which took place during the
past year.
/ While the bourgeois republicans
have been active in an agitaional
way, together with the students, in
urging the establishment of a repub-
lie as means of solving the deep
going economic and political crisis
of Spain, the workers Independently
have been fighting for their immedi-
ate demands of higher wages and
against increased working hours.
In many cases, these struggles have
led to severe clashes with the state
forces. Many workers have been
killed and hundreds of Communists
arrested.
During the present general strike
in Madrid the Berenguer government
made a vicious attack against the

When red flag was raised by the
students of San Carlos Univertity ex-
ira gurads were rushed to the school
and an immediate order issued to
arrest Communists, who were blamed
for the event.
: Dispatches from Malaga and other
centers state that the general strike
has assumed huge proportions there
also. Details are lacking since a
censorship has been clamped down
Strikes are continuing in Oviedo,
Barcelona and Valencia. In Oviedo
10000 coal miners have walked out.
The total number of workers out in
the general strike has not been esti-
mated, but it runs well into the hun
dreds of thousands.

CHICAGO, Ill. - Posted on the

cago is the front page of the Sunday
Detroit Times with a headline, in 2
inch letters clear across the top,
which says Auto Factories Retiring

This means that thousands of

get to Detroit in the hope of finding
jobs, only to be told that they can
not enter or if they do get in they
will be arrested and Jailed. This
paper like all the big city Sunday
papers has a large circulation out
side of the city. 1t circulates all over
Michigan, part of Ohio, Indiana and

This newspaper and the bus COM
panies know that the police in De-

ployed from entering the city and
are failing many more for "vagran-

The whole article was there the

that they tore off statement made
by Duncan the head of the Unem-
