but the wages of farm workers have
also been cut. Wages of farm work
ers, according to the Department of
Agriculture, which on January 1,
1929, were $3304, dropped to 1929
on January 1, 1880; wages without
board dropped from $47.24 to $46.80.
What prospects for the future for
the unemployed workers under the
growing crisis of capitalism? That
big building program that Hoover
was going to undertake with the
help of his lickspittle, Green, has
fallen to miserably small proper
lions. In fact, building all over the
country is dropping at tremendous
rates.
In New York, one of the centers
for building work, there was drop
of $22,60O,000 in January, 1880, be-
low the 1929 figure. This was de-
cline of over 25 per cent. During
December there was a drop of SO
per cent below 1929. In 1929 build
ing dropped 13 per cent below 1928,
all over the country.
With over so per cent Of the
building trades workers now unem-
ployed already the future is indeed
black unless the workers organize in
powerful Unemployed Councils, or
ganized by the T.U.U.L., and fight
for work or relief.
TE21e councils are being organized
by the Trade Union Unity League,
and together with the Communist
Parties in all countries, mass
demonstration is being modified to
eliminate on February 26. After
that time the councils will continue
their fight for work or relief on a
broader basis given by this rallying
day, in order to combat the growing
mass unemployment resulting from
the world crisis of capitalism. 49,,

Strikers Must Keep Quiet AS Mummies,
Says A. T. of L.
(By a Worker Correspondent

OAKLAND, Call want to show
how the A. F. of L. leads a strike
of the Cooks, Walters and Wait
resses.
Several weeks ago the business
agent of the union with the secre-
tary of the Central Labor Council
goes down to the Rainbow Cafe, one
of the many restaurants which are
working the women workers over
the 8 hour law and are underpaying
according to the minimum wage
scale.
They wanted to start a strike at
this special place as the proprietor
didn't stand in good with them. 1t
was pointed out at one of the meet
ings that while we are going to call
a strike, let us call it on the res
taurants who are doing the same
thing as this particular one. The
officials answered that we must
take one at a time. "When we line
up one, then we will start on an
other one"
So the strike was pulled off at
the Rainbow Cafe, calling the crew
of about 10 out. A private meet
ing was called with the strikers,
telling them not to go back to the
place, as the union will pay them
wages until further notice ar until
they get another job. That is one
way they handle strike. Another
method is by putting a man near
the restaurant with a newspaper

The Party's line was liked by the
eighth congress. The broadening
out of the struggle is the only road
to victory. We must raise the slo-
gan "The land to those who work
it." There are new factors of radi-
calization of the masses, such as
the big fights in Rosario and San
Francisco. The peasant masses are
suffering worst along with the work
er in the decisive industries. The
Party must penetrate these zones.
For this reason we have issued the
slogan "Face to the countryside"
With the fights in Rosario and
San Francisco there is clear polar
ization of forces: On one side the
bourgeoisie, Irigoyenism, intensity
ing repression and the offensive
! against the proletariat, counting
with the aid of the socialists, and,
on the other hand, the working
masses in struggle, led by the Com
munist Party. The Communists ap-
pear in fact as the only revolution
airy force of the proletariat as its
vanguard.
The masses are already beginning
to understand that the Communist
Party that fights for revolution, is
also the one that leads the struggle
of the workers for their most ele-
mental demands.
In accordance with international
policy the Party has been given
new course and applied it energeti-
cally in the recent times. August 1
and August 20 have had visible re-
suits, strengthening the Party ideo-
logically and organizationally; many
workers joining the Party in the
course of the struggle. The author
ity of the Party before the masses
has grown much as the case of the
Rosario strike shows.
We must say that some comrades
have had vacillations, or have not
followed the line. The Party has
! cleansed itself, but this has had to
be done only with a small number
of members.
The strikes in San Francisco have
the greatest Importance. This
proves the truth of the radicaliza-
ton process of the masses. The
working women have been a most
important element of the struggle.
Our relations with the government
in this conflict are relations of
struggle, nothing of diplomacy. The
San Francisco strikes equally have
shown the social-fascist transforms
ton of the socialist party.
Passivity is inadmissible. There
is no place in the Party for inactive
elements, which, accept the new
course but do nothing, or, accepting
it, seek to avoid carrying it out.
Weakness in application places one
outside of the Party, such was Tun-
tar's case, who carried out in the
anti-fascist work the function of our
adversaries. In class conflicts one
must follow the line of rupture with
the government and its agents, with
Irigoyenism, without exception. The
government is not impartial, it is
bourgeois, as such it must be treat
ed, preventing all kinds of Irigoyen
demagogy from having any effect.
There are comrades (needle trades
workers for example) who show a
certain dislike for international
questions and decisions; the sixth
congress was alright for everybody
but the needle workers. This re-
veals lack of comprehension of the
decisions of the sixth congress, valid
for all countries of the world.

Newark Meeting Friday A. M.
NEWARK, N. j., Feb. GA mass
meeting for unemployed workers of
Newark will be held Friday, at II
a. M, at SO Mercer st. The organ
ization of a Council of Unemployed
to take up the fight for unemployed
relief and unemployment insurance
is to be on the order of business.
Naturally this will spread out when
the Feb. &c, International Unem-
ployment Day demonstration is held,
from which date the fight for the
unemployed will go forward on a
much greater scale. The meeting is
under the auspices of the Trade
Union Unity League to which the
Unemployed Council should af-
filiate.
Two Newark workers, arrested
yesterday for distributing Commu-
mist leaflets to unemployed work
ers and held overnight incommuni-
cado, were released this morning.
The judge took it upon himself, as
the defender of capitalism, to
threaten the two workers with a
six months sentence and deportation
if they were arrested again.
Regardless of this capitalist des-
pot, the rallying of the unemployed
workers to struggle for relief, and
to unite the employed with the job
less at factory gate meetings with
joint demands including a fight on
speed-ups, wage cuts and for social
insurance will go ahead just the
same.
