LOS ANGELES, May 26.-Con-

posed west coast highway that ulti-
mately would link Fairbanks, Alaska,
with Santiago, Chile, is feasible,
three members of the scouting party
which left Los Angeles two months
ago to blaze trail through Mexico

They returned with enthusiastic
reports of the reception accorded
them all along the route in Mexico
and the word that governors OF all
the states visited in Mexico as well
as the federal government of that
country, are elated over the propos-

The trio who returned in three of
the five cars used by the mapping
party, were c. E. McStay, field Sec

Against Political Corruption!
Statement of the Central Committee, Commu-
mist Party U.S.A. on 'ROvnOst Ludu."

m June 81, 1880, in number of copies of
"Rovnost Ludu" Czechoslovakan organ of
Party, a half page advertisement and two
write-ups appeared, calling upon the readers
to vote on the July LIST referendum for the
Traction Ordinance" To fully understand
the unprincipledness of the action. of those re-
sponsibe for publishing the advertisement, me
must know, that in other copies of the same
issue, article, entitled Defeat the Traction
Ordinance" was published, giving the stand
point of the Communist Party, exposing the
city government This article was taken out
from copies and replaced with write-up en-
titled vote for the new traction ordinance
on July LIST" and with another entitled what
other people saying about the traction
plan" containing statements of bankers. real
estate men, lawyers, etc, agitatng for the In
sui Interests and an advertisement entitled,
vote yes and give work to the unemployed"
A copy of this paper was sent to the Party
today by a worker and the Central Committee
ordered immediate investigation to find out
who is responsible for this unprincipled,
Communist action
The Chicago District of our Party modified
the workers for bitter struggle against this
Traction Ordinance of the City Council of Chi
cago, which was so disgraceful and in secret
manner, without the knowledge of any respon-
sibe Party Committee advertised in some
copies of Rovnost Ludu Prior to the referen-
dun our Chicago District exposed the plan, as
one dictated by the insult interests dominating
the city administration, the seryile acceptance
of which further signalizes the complete uni
fication of the finance capitalists and the gov
eminent. By the new franchise granted by the
City Council of Chicago to the traction in
terests they not only consolidated all the sur
face and elevated lines in the hands of the
insult finance capitalist group, but practically
they turned to them the go million dol
lar traction fund of the city; opened the way
for them to raise the fares; strengthened the
grip of the traction interests the traction
workers in their wage slashng and speed up
drive, strengthened the fascist terror raging
in Chicago with the completion of the finance
capitalist rule.
The notification of the surface, elevated and
the planned subway lines in the hands of a
powerful finance-capitalist interest does not
result in giving work TO the unemployed" as
the lying advertisement propagates. On the
contrary, it results il capitalist naturalization,

Communist Candidate Tor 2ord Congressional
District, Bronx)
CINCE last November, Hoover has flooded the
country with statements about prosper
ity," returning prosperity" stability"
"soundness of conditions" etc. Secretaries La
mont and Davis and Andrew Mellon have
added their voices to the prosperity" chorus.
And each time they spoke the stock market
broke.
Wall Street pays no attention to this gbber-
ish, for it knows the actual conditions. The
functions are divided-the government plays
its part in assuring" the people and spread
ing confidence in the physically sound condi
tions of the country while Wall Street is
working overtime to overcome the crisis; to
get industry going, to curb the disaster in ag
ricuture, to speed up foreign trade to "cut
the cost of production" that is, to slash wages
and speed up the workers.
Wall Street is not pleased with the existence
of an unemployed army of 100000. Wall
Street does not like the experiences of the free
employment bureaus established, where, as in
New York, more than 10000 workers have
registered and not even 1000 jobs could be as
signed-and these chiefly on the basis of "a
job for week"
Bitter Struggles.
Wall Street knows that this is crisis that
and the suffering of the unemployed and lead
during this winter to the bitterest struggles
this country has in demands of the unem-
ployed for unemployment insurance and strikes
against wage-cuts.
Now comes along James w. Gerard, former
ambassador to Germany, who, in listing the
names of fifty-nine men who he says control
the United States Che later increased the num-
Der to 64), has given the names of the kind of
people which make up the future national
fascist council of the United States These
names range from Rockefeller and Morgan TO
Green and Vol. Gerard, comparing the United
States with Great Britain, states that unem-
ployment in the United States, although greater
than in Englanl is Temporary" while in
Great Britain it is permanent"
Permanent Army of Unemployed.
We remember some years ago, Harding ad-
mitted that in normal times there are 100000
permanently unemployed in this country,

HOover's Official Liar

Pity the poor census taker, especially Mr..
Steuart, the chief liar in Washington, who is
slowly becoming almost convinced that there
may be two or three unemployed workers in
New York City, and perhaps one or two IN
Chicago.
Sometimes eight or nine millions take sud-
den notion to take day off, but they are
not unemployed" Only those workers who
cornered the census man, tied him to the kit
chen sink and by force and violence COM
PEELED him to enter them in special kind Of
Steuart's 81 varieties of people who are "idle,"
as the capitalist press calls it, are "unen1-
ployed."
Steuart tries desperately to explain how
it is that there are only 100000 who should
really be counted. Here's what he says:
The workers, as rule do not work all the
time. They have at least day off in a
week, usually Sunday and perhaps have half Of
Saturday. Many of them have some vacation"
&c. the idea is, that merely because work
err doesn't work for few years, is no reason
for counting him as unemployed. If he's on a
vacation" this year, who knows but what he'll
be working next year. Likely he'll die before
the 1910 census and settle the whole question.
Anything to save the reputation of republican
prosperity.
Which reminds us of the saying that there
are three kinds of liars; just liars, damn liars
and statstcians.
We heard that the Fish Committee is COM
ing back in September, and thought struck
it when we saw the headline: "Fish of Many
Kinds Win Exhibition Prizes" But it was only
about how the Pterophyllum scalaua eimeke,
which the papers say is "a small fish with ex
aggerated fins, prominently figuring in all
tropical submarine moving pictures" won
prize at an aquarium show of queer fish.
Hum Z. d. Sounds little familiar, doesn't it?
"a lot of little fish with big Names" con-
tinues the story, took the prizes, which is like
Ham Fish, only they come by their big names
honestly and not by Act of Congress. At least
they never swallowed Grover Whalen's for
geries.
Did you hear about the Birmingham, Ala,
business men appealing to manufacturers to
"come to Birmingham" They said by way of
inducement: This city has 10000 unem.
pLoyed females of 10 gears of age and oUer,
aUko aoiu ,oork for lo,Uer wages than females
anyaUhere else"
Probably they can find few thousand nurs-
ing babies that will crawl to the cotton mills
for bottle of milk day, and there is no
doubt but that any number of small unem-
ployed boys are playing marbles who ought to
be getting 10 cents day and tuberculosis just
as they do in textile mills of China.
Isn't it blessing that the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act gives Americans the Fright" to work
for Chinese wages, and the Alabama fascist
"Black Shirts" demand that only white Amer
leans have this wonderful privilege. Great
world! Soon the XXX. will demand that only
white babies under five years be allowed to
do longshore work.

of speed-up and mass dsmissals and growing
unemployment
When the Communist Party exposed this
scheme and led the workers into struggle
against it, to print the propaganda material of
the insult group is the worst kind of oppor
tunism, an attitude Of business is one thing
and Communism is another thing" which has
nothing in common with revolutionary
movement Our press is the face of our Party
Always showing what the Party stands for
and always open to the working class The
Communist Party does not tolerate "doube
bookkeeping" and trickery What is not in
the interest of the working class and what we
cannot do openly, we will not do secretly. The
Party will take severe steps against those,
who, with their anti-CommGnist actions step
between the working class and its Party, which
leads it in its day to day struggles. TO liberia
ton from class rule.

which number has been greatly increased by
new machinery, speed-up and the belt and con-
veyor system. In other words, our "perna-
nent" unemployed army is even larger than
that in England and large part of the TEN
porary" unemployed will become permanent
members The fascist Gerard should think
twice before making such laundering state
ments.
The same day, Stanwood Mencken, president
of the National Security League, declared in
Paris that ''the Communists will never control
America, because they will be defeated by the
common sense patriotism, savings deposits and
life insurance of the working men of America"
If this is true then why all this worry about
the Communists? Why resort to Whalen for
geries, Fish congressional committees, why out
law the Communist Party and revolutionary
unions?
Savings Disappearing.
Because in spite of his bluff, Mencken knows
that the savings deposits of the workers are
disappearing, and that many who have pulled
through the last winter savings and loans
face the coming winter in despair. When a
worker has no money, no Job, nothing to fee1
his family on faces eviction; when poor farm
ers are ruined and farm relief" is merely
graft for the rich farmers; when wages
are being cut sometimes down to so per cent
and when, on top oil IL all, the new tarlI1 VIII
raise the cost Of lving-then Mr.. Mencken
will see what Common sense" and patriot
ism" American workers will manifest.
Mencken "forgets" the million and quarter
of workers who demonstrated March 9th.
He "forgets" the 10000 men who storned
Fords factory in Detroit and 10000 factory
in New Jersey.
If Mencken believes that it is patriotic" and
Common sense" for workersht to starve, then
he will be sadly Jared. American workers
won't starve-they will fight, and the Com
munists are organizing them for the fight
The first step is the fight for the Workers
Social Insurance Bill
The Communists thus proving that they
are the only fighters for the working class,
and we can assure Gerar that the workers and
farmers will also battle against any National
Fascist council of the United States and will
not cease till the workers, under the leader
ship of the Communist Party, have established
a Workers and Farmers Government in the
United States.
The workers must learn their lessons from
the statements of the fasciss and line up be-
hind the Communist Party, support its pro-
gram and vote for its candidates in the coming
elections.
Join the Communist Party!

Union Unity League and the Unemployed Coun-

Another Gag
By JORGE

The Cuban government" of Machado, than
whom no more servile bootlicker ever licked
a boot of Uncle Sam, has arrested some wom-
an on a charge of trying to sell Cuba's mill
tary secrets to the United States. That's about
like Walker discovering that there is graft in
New York City.
If the dear lady was so dumb that she does
not know that the National City Bank owns
the Cuban government, it serves her right to
get locked up for trying to sell the u. S. am
bassador the military codes he had already
been given by Machado.
The gag comes in on the idea that Machado
would be highly indignant if the U. S. got
them. By arresting the old girl, he pretends
that Cuba is free and independent country.
"About as much as Long Island" as someone
else once remarked.

CTRIKE struggles involving large masses of
y workers creates favorable conditions for in
creasng the influence of the Trade Union
Unity League, : but strike struggles @also de-
mand Explained preparations. Certainly,
the calling of strike such that which
took place short time ago in candy factory
in Indiana Harbor by the issuance of leaflet
calling for a strike against a wage-cut which
had taken place, and the vote to strike was
taken by only about dozen girls out of
factory where hundreds worked, and then the
setting up of picket line of about forty with
only two strikers participating. is not the kind
of preparation the kind of strike that will
increase the influence of the T.U.U.L.

tendencies of this character must be ruthlessly
fought against and defeated and elements
sponsoring them recalled from the committee
by the workers.
The control by the workers of the strike
committee and the constant contact with the
workers by the strike committee, is funda-
mentally necessary for the proper conduct and
success of the strike. This does not mean that
the strike committee, cannot under an excep-
tional situation make independent decisions
reporting it's action for approval to the strikers,
but the general principal should be 10 bring
all important proposals to the strikers for dis
cussion and approval or rejection before action
is taken.
Against Fascist Elements.
The participation of the leadership of the
A. F. of L. company unions in strike commit
tees must be fought against whether they
parade as socialist, Music progressive,
Lovestonite or Cannonite. The acceptance Of
any of these elements on the strike committee
means the beginning of defeat. 1t is partic-
ularly in preparation and during strike strug
gle that these treacherous fascist elements
must be exposed before the workers. All eff
forts to, slacken the fight against these bureau
Gratis on the grounds that we are now leading
strike, must be condemned. 1t is during a
strike that these traitors become the most
dangerous and the fight aaginst them must
be increased rather than sackened.
The first necessary steps however, in strike
preparation is the successful carrying through
of the national campaign. launched by the T.
U.U.L for 100000 strike fund. This cam
paign and will be successful if brought
to the workers. by the revolutionary unions
and leagues with concrete plan Of work,
every member Of the union to be drawn into
what factories are to be organized, how is
the work, what are the concrete demands
around which the workers are being organized
to strike for, what are the campaigns and plans
for the organizing of the unemployed, what
are the strike detectives. The workers are
ready for struggle--tbey will contribute :
100000 strike fund ami they will strike.

 G. A. Getchell was reelected as Chief of Police. Harry M. Sabin was again named as Chief Fire Truck Driver and G. R. Phillips continued as his assistant. Miss A. B. Coleman was reelected City Librarian, John Beck, Treasurer Dr. W. J. Pigg, City Health off cer, Hans Nelson, Caretaker of the Cemetery. and c. H. MacSpadden and c. F. McNutt, Assistant Wharf, fingers.
 The election of Night Patrolman was delayed until Chief Getchell, who was not present at last nights meeting, makes his recommenda- tion to the Council. Pending the annual audit of the City's accounts, to be made in the immediate fu- ture no action will be taken on the Wharfinger's appointment. This procedure, it was pointed out, was merely matter of policy. The reelection of J. M Davis, who has held the position for many years, was believed to be certain. Further consideration of the City Engineers position was deemed advisable by the Council.
