Vote Red and Elect Communists!

PARLIAMENTARY elections are not for
mality with the Communist Party. Through
its participation in the elections the Commu-
mist Party continues the struggle for the same
interests of the workers for which it always
fights in the shops, on the picket lines and in
the mass organizations. Vote Communist this
year will mean to vote against wage cuts, for
immediate unemployment relief, against the
persecution and deportation of foreign-born
workers, against injunction and police terror
These are Jew of the burning problems facing
the American native and foreign-born workers
and farmers. The Communist Party therefore
made them the chief issues in the present cleo
ton campaign.
Beware of False Friends.
The capitalist parties in America were al
ways characterized by their demagogy and
hypocrisy. This year however, their demagogy
is particularly outstanding because it effects
the vltals in the struggle for existence of the
working masses. While still playing with the
prohibition issue, the capitalist parties were
forced under mass pressure to change their
tactics IN the present election campaign. As a
result OF the economic crisis, growing unenl-
poyment and rehabilitation of the massej. the
capitalist candidates, particularly of the So
called opposition" parties like the democrats
are forced to make false promises on unem2loy-
ment relief, employment for all, etc.
The democratic party is taking advantage of
the failure of the Hoover administration and
the republican party to solve the crisis. 1t also
takes advantage of the great unemployment
and the great mass discomfort. 1t is not only
the New York democratic governor Roosevelt
that promises unemployment relief and social
insurance, but the democratic candidates in
other states are doing likewise. The dema-
gogic utilization of the crisis however, ap-
plies not only to the democratic candidates but
also to leading republican candidates, who run
as independent and progressives, in order not
to place upon themselves the stigma of the
Hoover administration. The same applies to
the other capitalist parties like the socialist
and the farmer labor party.
Will these parties do anything for the unen
ployed and for the working class generally?
Their very program on unemployment relief
and social insurance exposes their insincerity
and demagogy aimed to utilize the misery of
the masses in order to get votes on November
4th. The program of the democratic party on
these vital questions calls for Study" of the
question and of placing the burden of the un
employment relief and social insurance upon
the workers. How can any one expect the

The Smith and Wesson Line

We have antch to tell you about the only
Communist paper published south of what is
loosely known as "the Smith and Wesson
Line"
The Southern Worker" it is called, and its
address is Box So, Birmingham, Alabama But
it is worth while reading for any worker,
whether he lives down South or in Alaska
Because in it you will find the STORIES straight
from the heart of darkest America, of how
the workers and poor farmers of the South
are robbed and ensaved-and the direction
given them by the Communists of what to do
about it. So
Simple stories, told by these toilers, cry
aloud the lie of American "prosperity." A
poor share cropper, whose landlord took the
crop and says the farmer still owes him money,
wants to know if he should "sign papers, to
work off the debt, He adds that his wife
died-Oh, the drab life and miserable death
of the women of the southern hill country!
Six small boys, caught in rich farmers
sugar cane patch (water-melons and sugar
cane are legitimate forage for small boys, re-
member), are sold by the sheriff into peonage
to the farmer to pick cotton-at Kosciusko
Mississippi. Nice ccr y!
An Atlanta worker writes how some scoun-
drel who calls himself a Revolutionary" is
working colored girls twelve hours day in
his laundry for $3.50 week and fired five
of them for daring to talk with each other
But we ask the Southern Worker" why in
hell didn't it give the name and address of
this revolutionary" laundryman, md explain
to the workers that this skunk is not in the
Communist Party?
There are manv things. And not the least
is the campaign the Southern Worker" and
all the workers the world over must wage to
save the lives of the six Communists threat
ened with the electric chair because they dared
to go into the hell of Dixie and organize Ne
gro and white workers together
Every copy of the Southern Worker" you
readers, put in the hands of workers any,
where, particularly in the South, is a nail in
the coffin of such slavery as existed in old
Russia under Gar Nicholas.

mines are operating as against 304 in 1928"
CA decrease of 1873 mines or as per cent?
E. c. Mahon president of the Southern Coal
and Coke Co., testified: "The situation that
prevails throughout our coal territory gener-
ally is much worse than it has been in any
of the 26 years in which have been engaged
in the business" He concludes that: "The
southern coal operators would pass out of the
picture if they lose the northwest market"
Both the northern and southern operators
have testified that: Production figures have
dropped this year against last" and of
disastrous shrinkage of the coal industry"
The above figures and statements, compiled
and made by the operators themselves, reveal
the entire depth of the severe crisis in the
coal industry. Yet, they do not describe the
actual misery and starvation of the miners In
fact this misery and starvation is Undesirable.
There is no miners family in the country that
has decent living. Poverty and starvation is
seen everywhere. There are thousands upon
thousands of miners still employed who receive
no wages whatsoever, after deduction by the
company of various expenses. Here is just
one of numerous examples. At the Crescent
Mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Co., subsidiary of
Andrew Mellon, miner, father of four child
rem, was working every day the mine worked
from January l to September Is. The mine,
on an average, was working four days week,
which is steadier than any other mines. And
in this entire period, after the company de-
Quoted every two weeks store bill, rent ex-
plosives, light, doctor, insurance etc, the miner
received d cents in cash. In 81 months 4lc!
This is by no means an isolated case An in
vestigaton would show large percentage of
miners in the same or even worse situation.
The coal operators, as is seen from the above
wage scale, are doing their utmost to unload
the burden Of the crisis on the shoulders of
the miners. INFLAMMATION Of mines and speed
up are rapidly increasing. All kinds of forms
of wage cuts, direct and indirect, are taking
place daily. Unemployment is growing tremen-

surance are raised not because this is in the
interests of the workers, or that capitalism,
which is responsible for the crisis and unem-
ployment must pay to the workers while they
are unemployed. The raising of these demands
have an entirely different purpose. AS their
leading candidate in the present elections,
Louis Wadman, candidate for governor on the
socialist ticket in New York State, stated that
'twhen the government will do something for
the unemployed, it will show that at critical
moment the State still thinks of the unem-
ployed' and that "the unemployment question
can be solved by democratic methods" The
ruling class of America and its agent the
A. F. of L. fears precisely this revolutionary
struggle of the unemployed. Therefore, in this
period when the nature of the capitalist state
becomes more exposed to the workers, when
the workers see that only through revolution
airy struggle can they get unemployment and
win their other demands, the socialist party is
performing great service to the ruling class
by trying to maintain the confidence of the
worker in the government and convince them
that unemployment can be solved by democratic
methods
They even went step further They warned
the bosses that unless they do something for
the unemployed "the workers will follow the
leadership of the Communists" and when the
will their property be in danger, but their very
live will not be worth a cent" Here the social
list party comes out definitely as the saviour
of capitalism, as the instrument through which
the bosses can expect that the workers will not
follow the leadership of the Communists and
that no revolutionary stsugge will take place.
1t is in the face of such political conditions
that the election campaign takes place. There
are the political demagogues that must be ex-
posed and smashed. The class struggle program
of the Communist Party is the only solution
to the problems of the masses of workers.
This program must be supported on November
4th. You will express your dissatisfaction and
determination to fight for better economic
conditions by voting Communist. You will ex-
press your solidarity with the successful
socialist constructions by voting Communist.
You will deliver blow to the coming wave of
persecution Of foreign born workers by voting
Communist. You will vote for complete
emancipation of the working class and the es-
Establishment of workers and farmers govern
ment by supporting the Communist platform
and candidates.

We Recommend Vaseline

From the Joural of Commerce IN. ~ OF
Oct %. we learn that the textile mill owners
are chafed, but not by the cold weather. In
fact the item says:
'New England mill owners are reported
chatting over what they say is the refusal of
their labor to accept reductions in their wage
scales"
While talcum powder is reputed good for
chafed infants, in the case of mill owners we
recommend vaseline, but either with or without
it, we give three rousing cheers for New Eng
land mill workers and hope they'll keep right
on chatting the bosses.

By TED VOSBURG "A. P. Sports Writer

The golden age of Cornell row. ing was rudely interrupted on Jun' 28,, 1904.
 "Despised Syracuse crews vii both eight-oared races" shouted the headlines the next morning
 New York Staters coached b. Veteran James Ten Eyck rompee away from other universities in varsity and freshman races"
 Ten Eyck now close to 30 ana still the active coach of Syracuse was considered a veteran even in those days. He was a newcomer to the upstate institution, having gone there from Annapolis Syra- cuse never had been better than fifth in the big race.
 A 12 to 1 shot with few takers at that, Syracuse, ably stroked by Ed die Packard, a sophomore, jumped into the lead at the start, shook off Cornell's champions at the three mile mark and won by more than two and a half lengths with Cornell, Penn, Columbia and wis consin trailing in that order. The victory was so unexpected that the fakirs had every coiol bunting but the orange of Syracuse when the big crowd clamored tt buy the winning hue.

 D COLISEUM, TONIGHT

c oso .
 Dialogue as she is spoke. A whif of fresh plot ideas. Legs. Curves. Pulchritude with a pull. Good music and good singing, clever lines. That describes 'The Girl From Wool worths," which is heading a good bill at the Coliseum Theatre.
 But it doesn't halfway describe the genuine enjoyment you're going to get from this first National and Vitaphone offering, because we haven't mentioned Alice White, the dynamic little star of the piece, and the rest of the really great cast.
 Here, talking, singing and danc- ing at the head of night club chorus, she impresses the magic of her personality on you. You under stand how she "came up' in the film industry from stenographer to star in two years.
 Charles Delaney, that engaging Irish ace of the World War and stunt flier of the movies, who played opposite Miss White in Broadway Babies is again her leading man. Wheeler Oakman, Ben Hall, Gladden. James, Bert Moorehouse, Rita Flynn, Patricia Caron, William Orlamond and Milla Davenport appear in support
 These are not. all familiar names on film offaring because some of them are stage celebrities. Every member of the cast docs excellent work. And it wouldn't be fair to pass up mention of that delect- able, pulchritudinous and clever night-club chorus of twenty-four

 Bringing the work of one of the greatest of modern novelists to the talking streen, Dance Hall" mo- tion picture adaptation of the story bv Vina Delmar, opens today at the Palace Theatre. It is the first time that a story of this sensationally successful author has been trans ferred to the screen.

ADvERS|TY IS o AROUSED HERE
 BY CLUB MOVE
Local Officials of Women Organization Unable to
 Account for Action

Numerous adverse comments were aroused in Juneau today by a re port contained in yesterdays edi- tion of The Empire from Denver, which stated the General Fedora tion Of Women's Clubs had passed a resolution asking President Hoo yer to appoint commissioner to study problems of delinquent wom- en and girls in Alaska, and make some plan dealing with the situa- tion supposed to be existing now in the Territory.
 No official delegates from any Alaska Clubs are attending the con- vention at Denver. according to Mrs. J. P. Williams, president of the Juneau organization.
 While reports have been received here to the effect that other Alas kan cities have representatives at the General Federation, none Of these are authorized to take ac- tion in behalf of their branches Mrs. Williams said today.
 It is probably, said Mrs. Williams that the action was taken in con- nection with discussion among Alas kan organizations of the feasibility of creating in the Territory, home for delinquent children. No definite action has ever been taken on this matter, however, she added. There has never been move ment here, or in other Clubs in the Territory to have a commis sion created for an investigation of delinquency in Alaska, nor any other definite move in connection with delinquents, d declar ed Mrs Williams.
 Mrs. Marie Skuse, President of the Alaska Federation of Woman's Clubs, also was unable to shed any light on basis of the action. The move, she declared, is entirely ad- verse to the attitude of the Alas ka Federation. No delegates from any Alaska Clubs are at the Den yer meeting, she asserted.
