YES, "NEED is GREAT"

While the newspapers usually mag

unpleasant facts.
'Be Glad You Can Give For the
Need is Greater" is the slogan and
figures are quoted to show how
much greater the need is than usual.
Agencies that claim to help fam

20 to 40 per cent more calls the last

MARION, Ind, Oct. 10.-The
bosses grand jury Investigating
the double lynching of two Negro
youths in front of the court house
here on Aug. z, was today dismissed
without returning any Indictment
against members of the mob.
This action is direct slap in the
face of the Negro workers by the
republican party, which, in alliance
with the Gu Klux Khan, controls the
state of Indiana. 1t is a direct
challenge to the Negro voters to
meet this out-and-out support of
lynching by voting Communist in
the coming elections, against the
bosses system of exploitation and
lynch terror, against the bosses po-
itical parties.
1t must also bring to the front the
question of the notorious co-opera-
ton given the bosses grand jury by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
which, declaring it was in possession
Of ten names of the leaders of the
lynching mob, refused to give out
these names for publication. The
association instead busted itself at
its usual job of spreading illusions
among the Negro masses of CAPT

abolishing lynching by other means
than the mobilizing of the working
class for struggle against the bosses
and their vicious system. The lead

NEW YORK.-With strict cen

ers and peasants have been armed
by the "rebel" etty-bourgeois lead
ers; that battles are going on in
many important states and cities.
The latest report from Montevideo
states that Pernambuco, one of the
most important states, has fallen
into the hands of the insurgents.
Fighting is now proceeding in many
ports.
Communist activity is reported in
the state of Minas Geraes and Rio
Grande do Sui, with the revolution
airy working class Party calling on
the workers and peasants to take
the lead in the struggle, and not
permit themselves to be used by the
bourgeois imperialist tools. The
New York Times cable from Sac
Paulo, Brazil, Friday, states:
"The consulates report all Amer
leans safe, although a power plant
owned by the Electric Bond and
Share Company at Bahia is said to
have been partly destroyed by riot
ers, in an outbreak which had little
connection with the Minas Geraes-
Rio Grande do Sui movement. The
trouble in Bahia is believed to have
been melted by small Communist
group"
When the capitalist correspondent
states that at had connection with
the Minas Geraes-Rio Grande do Sui
movement" he meant that the at
tack by revolutionary workers
against a Yankee corporation was
what the petty-bourgeois tools OF
Wall Street did not want. The Glib
eral" insurgents want to lead the
mass uprising into safe channels
not hurtful to American imperial
ism.

PROVIDENCE, KY, Oct. TO-
Mine bosses and their agents yester-
day murdered Sullivan Wolfe, Ne
gro miner and leader of the Ne
gro miners now on strike in Webster
County.
Wolfe was called to the front
door of his home at o'clock in the
morning and shot down. One bull
let entered his throat. He died in
stantly.
Wolfe had been on strike since
the Negro and white miners went
on strike in April. When the strike
was betrayed by the United Mine
Workers Union, teh Negro miners
were among those who erfused to
go back under the old conditions.
Wolfe was instrumental in holding
them togetehr, and had won the
hatred of both the mine owners and
their thugs and the officials of the
United Mine Workers Union who
betrayed the strike. Negro and
white strikers, thoroughly aroused
over this outrage, threaten venge-
ance against the mine owners thugs
and the treacherous leaders of the
U. M. w. Teh strikers are firmly
convinced that the latter are con-
nected with the outrage.

Dictator Machado of Cuba put on
a regular Mussolini stunt Wednes-
day, hurting out his defiance of the
reports of revolutionary discomfort.
He called all his political support
ers together to listen to speech,
which contained his challenge to the
Nationalist" The governors of
six provinces were present, as well
as the mayors of 1875 of the 1872 Gu
ban municipalities. Everything was
staged for a dramatic gesture-and
behind the scenes lurked the Wall
Street ambassador, Guggenheim,
who just returned from Washing
ton with specific instructions as to
what to do, handed him by Hoover
and Stimson.
Machado declared he would go
through with the Nov. list elections,
despite any opposition The cleo
tons are all creased to go Ma
chado's way. This is the biggest
bone of contention of the national
lists, who want a big share in be-
traying the masses in the interest
of the National City Bank of New
York, the leading imperialist inter-
est in Cuba.
Wall Street, however, finds Ma
chado through his past and present
performances quite able to handle
its interests. Machado, before he
became president, was a tool of one
of the American Telegraph and
Telephone subsidiaries, and received
heavy graft for handing them big
concessions. AS president, he ex-
empted them from taxation.
In a regular swashbuckling
speech, Machado declared his inten-
ton of sticking to power, no mat
ter what the masses wanted. AS
proof of his popularity" he point
ed to the collection of mayors and
governors-all of them Machado
hand-picked men - who shouted
themselves hoarse to every one of
Machado's announcements. He even
went through the "crowd," shook
hands, slapped backs, and put on
hilarious mood. But the New
York Times report of the occasion
tells US that it was all a put up job
as there were guards armed to the
teeth every few feet. Besides, says,
the Times:
"In sense it was a hand-picked
crowd, because the nucleus of it was
made up of political leaders from
all parts of the republic, and every
one who entered the palace had to
pass by watchful guards who were
posted every few feet"
Machado's backslapping, and Gug-
genheim's benign smiles will not al
leviate the deep-going economic
crisis one jot. The Cuban farm la
borers are virtually starving by the
thousands. The Cuban sugar indus
try is in the worst crisis in its his
tory. But American Imperialism
holsters up Machado's regime
against the attacks of the workers
and peasants.
The Nationalist" leaders, repre-
senting section of the Cuban bour-
geoisie who are suffering as re-
suit of the crisis, as well as inter-
ests in the U. S. opposed to those
favored by Machado, fear as much
as Machado does an armed uprising
of the workers and peasants. That
is why Machado is so boastful about
not fearing any armed uprising
against his regime led by the So
called nationalists. That is why the
