Class Against Class in New Jersey

Cane Sugar Company we're properly cared for.
And there, also he left a tyrannical fascist
government set up in 1925 under Machado,
known as ''The Butcher"
By such business, Morrow has become an
"ace" imperiahst diplomat, cold suave, cruel
a perfect gentleman" capable of corrupting
a government and of ordering a massacre of
the workers and doing it all politely"
The Public Swindle Corporation"
In New Jersey, Morrow is interested in the
Morgan controlled Public Service Corporation.
Three Morgan-Drexel-Bo -Boubright are its
directors, With its subsidiaries, the P,S,C.
employs 10000 workers, controlling nearly all
the gas, electric and street railway business
of New Jersey. 1t operates 265 railway lines
and most of the motor bus system.
Its profits, built on the sweat of these work
ers, amounted in net income in 1929, to over
S28500,000, after all taxes and depreciation of
equipment were deducted While millions of
workers were being thrown jobless on the
street (where they still are) in December, 1929,
a special dividend was declared and the regu-
lar annual dividend was increased. Morrow
gets a big share of these profits, and owns
a big estate with spacious lawns at Englewood,
N. j., while the children Of the workers swelter
in summer in the slums of Jersey cities.
Morrow carefully avoids saying word about
unemployment or other real issues in his cam
paign. He has the N. J. Employers Associa-
ton busy with the police prosecuting Commu-
mist workers for 'sedition" because they de-
mand "Work or Vases" But he doesn't talk
about that, confinng himself to talking for
repeal of the prohibition act-a fake issue the
republicans hope to PLAY with.
The Communist Candidate.
The Communist Party, against this imper-
ialist shark has put up for U. S. Senator,
al7oT ysJp7,L 1rhn
dared to lead the unemployed and to fight for
the Communist program of social, economic and
political equality for Negro and other oppres-
sed races. Because he led the workers in strug-
gle, the bosses have indicted and are now try
ing Graham for "sedition." The issue, "class
against class" could not be clearer.
As chief supporter for Morrow is, of
course, the leading scoundrel of the A. F. of
l.. in New Jersey, Henry j. Hilfers of Newark,
former secretary of the State Federation of
Labor. He did his best to break the great
Passaic textile strike in 1926. Hilfers was
manager of the so-called "Union Labor Mes
senger' of Newark, which runs columns of
soldering praise of the open shop corpora
tions such as the Durant Motors and the Du-
pont Chemical firms.
A Fine Labor Leader"
In 1927, Hilfers admitted that while he was
secretary of the State Federation of Labor
he received over 100000 from such open shop
corporations in the form of donations" and
Complimentary advertisements. He has been
charged with being in the pay Of the Public
Service company, and newspaper men "in the
know" say that Hilfers for many years has
received cash from an official of this Morgan
corporation
Against this type of "labor racketeer," who
also broke the strike of the Michein Rubber
Company workers, and against the slick i'm
perialist diplomat, Dwight W. Morrow, against
the capitalist class, the Communist Party
class against class puts up the allegedly
"seditous" Negro worker and asks the sup
port Of the workers of New Jersey for the
platform of the Communist Party.
