DbLess Crow:
Bosses Fake
Census DOPE

WASHINGTON, June 26.- In
line with Hoover's continual cam
paign of lies directed against the
millions of jobless workers is the
latest announcement of the census
bureau which issued faxed figures
on unemployment today. With the
crisis increasing at a rapid pace
each day, and well over 100000
walking the streets, the director of
census in his preliminary returns
insults the jobless by declaring that
out of one-fourth of the country's
population, nearly 10000, 900, there
were 574,647 jobless on April 1,
1880.
He puts unemployment in the
United States at two per cent of
the population, or a total in the
ranks of the iobless Of between g.
100000 and 100000.
This is the boldest and crudest
stroke of fakery yet attempted by
the imperialist officials in Wash
ington since the beginning of the
present sharp crisis. Even the A.
F. of L. bureaucrats, who work hand
and glove with the enemies of the
workers, admit there are more than
100000 walking the streets, facing
starvation.
With auto plants, steel mills, rail-
road shops and other industries dis
charging workers by the tens of
thousands in every section of the
country, the Wall Street government
finds it necessary to rush faxed
census figures on unemployment
into the capitalist press in order to
minimize the actual size of the
country's unemployed army.
Let us look only at few facts.
The latest report of Iron Age"
states that steel ingot production
for the country at large has declined
to 81 per cent from the IS per cent
rate of a week ago. Companies
catering to the automobile trade are
curtailing the most" The latest
figures of the iron and steel division
of the Department of Commerce
show decided recessions in export
and import trade in iron and steel
products last month"
John ]. Aeschbach, director of
the Buffalo Social Welfare Depart
ment told the State Association of
Public Welfare officials yeste, day
that never before in the history of
the. department have we had so
many young and able-bodied, mar
ried men applying for public aid as
in the past winter and spring"
The issuing of the faxed census
figures comes on the eve Of the
tremendous July As Unemployment
Convention in Chicago. The action
of the bosses in this respect shows
the need for increased militant &C.

Control COMMISSION OF seven
members and two candidates.
The discussion on Negro
work, which ended Wednesday
noon, was summarized by
Comrade j. w. Ford, who pointed
out the strong and weak parts of
the discussion, drawing the balance
as a real Qualification of the sub
ject, the first genuine discussion of
Negro work the Party had ever
had.
Following Comrade Ford, the re-
port on the Agrarian Thesis GU. S.
Agriculture and the Tasks of the
Communist Party, published in the
Feb, March and April numbers of
the "Communist") was given by
Comrade Harrison George, who re-
ferred also to the Program for Ne
gro Farmers published in the
March "Communist") and to docu-
mentary comment by the Farmers
International (Krestintern) and by
the comrades of District No. IL.
Neglect of Agrarian Work.
AS the regular Convention Thesis
had pointed out, further neglect of
Communist work in agriculture is
"impermissible," and the Agrarian
Thesis had been drawn up to con-
form with the instructions of the
Plenary Session of the Central
Committee last October, to analyze
agriculture and furnish a correct
basis of approach for work in this
neglected field.
There are numerous errors in ap-
preaching the subject of agricul-
ture, Comrade George brought out.
One is that finance capital is not
penetrating agriculture. This is
social democratic idea not borne out
I by facts. Capitalism penetrates
agriculture on the basis of chang
ing self-sufficing farming into COM
modify farming, production dedi-
Gated to the market.
This is shown in the relatively
rapid advance of mechanization, but
as capital in this period is inevita-
bly, finance capital, one cannot say
that capitalism is advancing in
agriculture without conceding that
it is a penetration of finance CAPT.
tai. Thus the falsity of the social
democratic idea that the self suf-
ficing "small rural proprietor"
farming has a sound economic
basis, that the predominant one
family farms are or can be "inde-
pendent" of great finance capital.
Another error is that finance
capital in agriculture plays pro-
gressive role. the idea of some So
cial democrats. This error is based
upon an exaggeration of the un-
doubted tendency toward corpora
tion a~1 big scale farming or "fac
tory FARMS"
Proceeding from the abstract
possibilities of complete mechanical
ton and the few Conspicuous
cases" Of great factory farms, this
error exaggerates the technical ad-
vances really made into a "technicel
revolution" without consideration

"Mine workers! Organize for a
struggle in the entire industry
against wage-cuts, mass unemploy-
ment and starvation, for uniform
wages and working conditions
throughout the mining industry.
Unite all mine workers in mill
tant mine workers International"
states a leaflet being distributed in
tens of thousands of copies by the
National Miners Union and calling
the second National Convention of
the National Miners Union to meet
in Pittsburgh on July 26.
The union calls on all coal and
metal miners, all local unions of
the N. M. u, all rank and file COM
mittees of action, all councils of I'M
employed miners and committees Of
unorganized miners to extend their
activities, take in new members,
form new locals and groups and see
that delegates are elected by the
masses, from the mines and from
among the unemployed, to the con-
vention. The basis of representa-
ton is to be one delegate for each
100 members or for each local union,
pit committee, unemployed council
or rank and file committee of ac-
ton.
Also Elect to r. /. L. U.
The same elections are also to
nominate four delegates to the
Fifth Congress of the Red Inter
national of Labor Unions, meeting
August Is.
The N. M. U. says: "Never have
the working conditions in the min
ing industry been worse than they
are today. The National Miners
Union, affiliated to the Trade Union
Unity League, calls upon all miners
to take part in organizing the sec
ond National Convention of the N.
M. U. as a mass and file con-
vention, representing the 100000
mine workers in the United States,
adopt a fighting program, stimu
late organization into a powerful
industrial union and prepare for a
national struggle against wage
cuts, the speed-up, against inhuman
conditions and for minimum wage
of $35 a week, for the 6-hour day
and 5-day week."
The National Miners Union
fights the rustling card system in
metal mines, contract systems in
metal and anthracite mines, de-
nounces the recent brutal police at
tacks on the workers, demands the
release of the leaders of the un-
employed in New York and other
class war prisoners, including its
own national secretary, Charles
Guynn, who faces term in prison,
demands equality for Negro and
young miners and describes the
treacheries of the Lewis and Fish
wick factions of the United Mine
Workers of America.
The N. M. U. considers Lewis and
Boylan very dangerous and harm
full to the miners, but Howat and
Fishwick even more dangerous, be-
cause the latter pretend to be hon
est, even while they keep up the
check-off robbery and their ALI

GAS BOOMERANG

Strikers Bombed, But
Scabs Do the Weeping

MOCLIPS, Wash, June 26.-Soli-
darity and quick action of the
strikers, led by the Trade Union
Unity League, at the M. R. Smith
Lumber and Single Co., turned the
tables very neatly on the bosses and
scabs who tried to use tear gas.
The strike has been going on for
two weeks, against wage cut of
20 per cent. When the mill opened
UP, the shingle weavers, and lumber
workers carried on mass picketing.
The tear gas incident was this
way. Deputy sheriffs, bosses, and
scabs were eating breakfast in the
dining house. One of the strikers
asked something of the deputy, and
70 opened the door, whereupon all
Inc strikers rushed inside and began
/ TO argue with the scabs. The dep
uties then fired a volley of gas gun
bombs into the crowd of strikers in
side the room.
