a Communist demonstration by two

20 Million in Police Graft.
If the impression has been given
that all the money allowed the
police department by the City
Budget is spent on salaries for
cops and on new and more fiendish
methods of moving down militant
workers, it was not intended, for
about one third of the departments
S63,000,000 allowance is pure and
unvarnished graft.
Here is an example of how the
department buys its supplies. A
certain card of erasers can be
bought at retail for 35 cents. The
New York Police Department, whose
detectives are so acute that they
"discover"-about every two weeks
that Soviet Russia sends over
hundreds of billions of dollars to the
Communist Pc the U. S. A. via
submarine, airp1ane, and donkey
cart, have never been able to dis
cover just where these erasers can
be bought for 35 cents and conse-
quently pay $500 for them.
Let us take quick look--a longer
one would be too sickening at the
interior of a few police stations,
and we can determine, to some
slight extent, the type of men who
are entrusted with the spending of
more than $63,000,000.
First let us peek into the 10th st.
Police Station. Here, suite recently,
40 cases of choice liquor were stolen
from the cellar. Then in the i26th
st. Station, where a brewery re-
Gently delivered an entire truck load
of beer to the stations bootlegger.
And then in the Oak St. Station,
where the police sold on the prem
Uses truck load of beer that they
stole from warehouse on South St.
And from there to the 104th st. Sta
ton, where shooting took place
recently-and it wasn't a prisoner
who was shot.
Then let US continue to the West
goth st. Station, where lost jewelry
that had been turned in by a worker
who found it, was stolen from the
lieutenant's desk. And let us end
the little tour with a glance at the
West Both st. Station, where two
sergeants recently almost killed
each other because one wouldn't
split the graft evenly, and the West
40th st. Station, where two lieuten-
ants did the same thing for exactly
the same reason.
And if we had the time we could
call on Lieutenant Fitzgibbons, who
caught stealing $4,000 from the
Police Glee Club, was fired by Com
missioner Warren and Immediately
reinstated by Commissioner Whalen
at the request of Cardinal Hayes,
friend of Owney Madden, convicted
murderer and gangster.

THE WARE GANG
PREPARES Big
VOTE THIEVERY
Chuck Out Communist
Votes Everywhere
(By a Worker Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-So that
the Ware machine could run this
election in Philadelphia as the
"Band Of Brothers" desire, 500 vot-
ing machines were rejected here to-
day after ruling by the complais-
ant republican Judge Harry S. Nc
Dewitt.
Although the voting machine is
used in many other cities and states,
including New York City and was
approved by the Secretary of the
Commonwealth for use in Philadel-
phia, Judge McDevitt ruled chat
a deaf, dumb and blind man could
cheat on these machines in their
present condition"
Even Dead Men Vote Here.
All of which may be true but the
Philadelphia Ware gang finds it
much easier to manipulate the cleo
ton returns on November 4th with
out machines. The usual course of
procedure is to permit one vote in
each of the 1890 polling places for
the Communist ticket. That is in
those where any are allowed to be
counted at all.
In working class neighborhoods
the election judges are more Glen
lent" and permit 2 or 3 Communist
votes to be counted in the returns.
Workers Must Watch.
But the usual rule is / vote or
none counted thus DISTINGUISHING

The workers in Philadelphia can
counter these wholesale frauds by
acting as watchers in front of the
polling places for the workers only
