also collected thousands of dollars.
The halls were so packed that the
people strung outside for blocks and
blocks. All of them had money and
were anxious to give it to Mr.. Car
ter, because he repeatedly told them
that if they didn't they would lose
the boat. He told them he did not
haze a cent to buy fuel or provisions
to continue the trip. We of the crew
were very surprised when he made
those statements, because we knew
of the immense amounts he had COL
lected from Havana all the way to
Colon, and we knew he was not Civ
ing the crew anything on account
of their wages. We knew too, that
most Of the provisions on the boat
were given him gratis by colored
workers in each city we visited. So
it came to us plain as day that he
was appropriating this money for
himself and others higher up in
the organization.

FOSTER REPORTS
MISERY UP STATE
To Mobilize Fight on
Wage Cuts, Hunger

NEW YORK-William z. Foster,
Communist candidate for governor
general secretary of the Trade Union
Unity League and recently released
from prison for leading the jobless
on March 6, has just returned to
New York from successful up
state election tour.
He reports that in all towns he
spoke, the numbers unemployed were
from 80 to so per cent of the total
working population. Practically all
the workers in these industrial towns
are on part time. In the Endicott-
johnson shoe factories at Binghamp-
ton the men get only from two to
four days work week.
All the trainmen and engine crews
on the New York Central with less
than IA years experience are laid off
regular work, and are "bucking the
extra board" Six passenger trains
are discontinued by this railroad.

LENINGRAD.-Immediately after

PARIS.-On account of the strict

comes through about big demon
stration at Lisbon on the 3rd of Oct.
This day is celebrated in Portugal as
the day of the Republic by all the
official bombastery. After the cele-
bration of the bourgeoisie was over
the workers swept over the place 1t
came to clashes between workers
and the newly founded fascist Or
ganization. Suddenly the mariners
from war ship hoisted a big red
flag. The workers joyfully lifted the
sailor on their shoulders and carried
him on the street, followed by a huge
throng of workers, shouting de-
lightedly, and singing the Interna-
tional Police attacked the demon
stration with such a force, trying to
take away the workers flag from
them. A real battle started in the
streets of Lisbon, and many victims
fell in this struggle. Alone in the
hospitals there we're 7 dead and 48
injured But the police refuse to
give any information whatever about
the number of arrests.

MUST BUY RADIO
TO HOLD JOB AT
VICTOR R.C. A.
Layoffs Have Already
Started in Again

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--Mr. Shoe
maker, the president Of the Victor
RIGA, likes to put himself forward
as superman when it comes to
the solution" of unemployment.
The other week he spoke at meet
ing of manufacturers in New York
where he stated "talk less about
unemployment but open your fac
tories, give work to people to put
out lot of goods and the unemploy-
ment question is solved" This
sounds very good in theory but how
is it in practice? The Victor RCA
hired good many workers in prep
aration for the Christmas season.
The plant does not employ $4,000
as they are trying to make us be-
lieve, but only around $4,000. Never
theless, tens of thousands of work
ers were hired by the Victor RCA.
Why? Because after laying off
thousands of workers who worked
for "high wages" of SO cents an
hour, they re-hired them for &c.
Conditions are so terrible, wages are
so low, that the workers are dis
satisfied and waiting for action.
The lay-offs have started already
in our factory and will continue
much more in the near future. At
the same time, the bosses in order
to get more business for themselves
worked out a good scheme playing
on the fear of the worker that he
will lose his job. | was called in by
the foreman to the stockroom and
he showed me an old modelled radio
which looked terrible, something like
an ice box. This came back prob
ably from the dealer who could not
sell it.
l was told that in order to assure
my job l must help business-in
other words, to buy radio. The
boss told me that they would sell
me this radio for $125 without the
tubes if I pay $25 down and the
balance So per week out Of the SIS
make for radios. refused the
bargain. This means that l may lose
my job soon but even then, would
not do any such thing as buying out
the junk of the company and pay
ing out the miserable few dollars
for radios when there is not even
money for bread.

Of course there were many others

that l was there I learned. many
things which l am sure all workers
will find a good reason for voting
Communist.

package department. One so-called
worker there, is a spy for the boss
es. When 1 asked him one day why
a millionaire corporation like Gin
bells only pay $1S per week to so
many married men his answer was
"Dear one, do not complain. Thank
Jehova for what you have. AL
ways have the lord in mind and in
heart and you will be happy"
Fellow workers, when / was
thirsty / went to the sink for a
drink and the worms and cockroach-
es crept around the water fountain
in such disgusting manner that l
could not drink for two days. The
toilets are filthy. What is more
the package department is three
floors below the ground and there
are no windows and the lights are
dim.
Every man down there is con-
stantly in danger of his health be-
cause of the dampness and the draft
from the two air chutes that they
have there.
Last week the company actually
killed man working on their trucks.
They never hire enough help, but
force the workers whom they keep
to work overtime every night in the
week. The truckmen that they kill
ed got $4,000 per week.
One day he worked seventeen
hours and when he came back the
boss told him he must go out again
with more packages and bulk such
as trunks and ice boxes. The work
er did as he was told and worked
five more hours. When he came
back again the boss asked him to
go out again with another load.
But the truckman refused be-
cause he had caught cold and did
not feel 1oeU. He Uent home and
slept for three hours aOhen he aoas

In One Weeks Fight

Continued from Page y
also announced that they would ask
the auto bosses to establish their
own relief for their unemployed
workers. The committee opposed this
as a mere shifting of its responsible
lily in the interest of the same bosses
who laid off the workers, and who
they know will let the workers starve.
Thus the entire Murphy relief pro-
gram" means that even the little
relief that was given before his cleo
ton will mostly eliminated.
The Unemployed Delegation pre-
sented in addition to these facts also
the demands adopted at the Grand
Circus park demonstration, and pre-
sented to Mayor Murphy last Friday.
"Unpracticap
While the Common Council was
compelled to grant hearing, which
they tried to postpone until after the
elections, and for the same reason
did not on the spot turn down the
demands, they already indicate the
same attitude as Murphy, stating
that he will accept "some demands, u
but the mayor demand for relief is
impractical"
Following the hearing, Woods, Sec
rotary of the Unemployed Council OF
Detroit, Billups, Communist candi-
date for governor, Raymond, Stachel,
Gerlach and others, reported to the
workers who now understand the
role of Murphy to carry through the
Ford starvation program.
The workers cheered the Commu-
mist election drive, and Billups, CAN
didate for governor. Gerlach urged
the workers themselves to carry out
the demands by rent strike and
refusal en- mass to pay fare, and to
find means to eat rather than to
starve; also to go to the factories and
demand their jobs.
Large numbers are daily enrolling
in the Unemployed Councils which
are organizing to carry through the
demands refused by the Mayor and
the Common Council.
Murphy's police on Thursday again
arrested eight workers in an eviction
fight.

Members of Crew IN Rags On the Cruise
OF Carney Ship Booker T. Washington

could be seen daily of the crew wan
dering about the streets of Colon
with torn clothes and look on their
faces that told plainly that they
were hungry. Things became so had
with US that the local branch which
Carter had refused to recognize took
pity on us and collected a benefit
for the members of the crew who
we're most in need, They had to give
some of US clothing, cigarettes, and
enough to get a decent meal. And,
at this time every man of the crew
had over 5000 in wages coming to
him.
In the meantime, Carter and Lady
Winton Davis were living high, and
buying up all the silk in Colon. He
bought silk tropical suits, silk I'M
derwear, socks, ETC., and Mrs. Davis
wore nothing but the very sheerest
of silks. In fact, if one had gone
into the store of Kalcham and Bal
cham and asked for silk stockings
or silk socks, the proprietor would
have told you that Mr.. Carter and
Mrs. Davis, along with some of the
other officers, had bought all the
silk they had in stock.
The fare on the boat was too plain
for them, so they went to live ashore,
putting up in the most luxurious
style. The local U.N.I.A. furnished
them with two servants, a man and
a woman, and they ate nothing but
chicken, turkey, and the best of
foods that the town had. Before
this, they were staying on the ship
and would go ashore two or three
times a day, each time hiring a
launch from the Canal Zone govern
ment for which they had to pay IS
for each trip one way. Certain
members of the crew who were also
members of the U.NIA. told Carte,
he should use the ships launch and
not spend the poor peoples money
that way. He was spending SIS
to $25 daily for the Canal Zone
launch when he could have used the
ships launch without any cost. Car
ter told these men to mind their own
business. 1t was after this he took
up his residence ashore.
In my next article / will tell of
how a division of the U.NI.A. find
ing conditions of the crew so ter
rible had to issue a manifesto
against conditions on board the YES
sci. / will also tell of our exper-
fences in Almerante and Bocas del

SOVIET PRESS ON
Big METAL STRIKE
Revolutionary Effect
on German Workers.

MOSCOW.--Thes soviet newspapers
are reporting the strike of the metal
workers in Berlin at great length.
| The "Pravda" declares that the strike
will have a great revolutionizing eff
feet on the whole German working
class. and that it will be the signal
for the workers in all other indus
tries to prepare for the fight. The
strike will demonstrate to the Ger
man workers that it is possible to
resist the employers offensive sue
| cessfully. The metal workers strike
is a convincing proof of the fact that
the workers have entered new stage
Of the revolutionary struggle, that
they are beginning a counter-offen-
sive against the bourgeoisie, against
the government of starvation and
against fascism. The strike was not
only against Borsig, Siemens and the
other capitalist hyenas, but against
the whole Bruening system, gainst
the treacherous policy of the social
fascists and against the efforts of the
bourgeoisie to consolidate capitalism
at the expense of the workers. The
strike will increase the crisis of Ger
man capitalism and is a sign not only
of the intensifcation of class contra
diction of class contradictions but
also of an approaching acute revolu-
tionary situation.
Continuing the "Pravda" points out
that the strike is of great importance
to the workers of other capitalist
countries 1t would be a great error
to rest content with the first success
of the revolutionary trade union OPP
position and to forget that the re-
formist leaders Urish & Co., repre-
sent great danger to the strike. The
government, the employers and the
retormists would do everything pos
sible to throttle the strike. The revo-
lutionary opposition and the Commu-
mist Party must therefore mobilize
all their forces to the task of leading
the strike. Strike committees should
be formed in every factory and kept
free from the influence of the re-
formistS. In each factory the strik-
ing workers should be organized in
revolutionary factory groups The
strike must be closely connected with
the struggle of the unemployed work.
ers and made matter for the whole
OF the Berlin proletariat. The work.
ers OF the whole of Germany should
be modified in support of the strike.
The hour had come for the revolu-
tionary trade union opposition to be-
come the decisive factor in the Ger
man working C / a movement.
Courage, determination and the will
to victory should be maintained in
the ranks of the strikers. Should the
revolutionary trade union opposition
be successful in its work, then the
strike of the Berlin metal workers
would be the opening point for de-
clSive struggle on the part of the
whole German working class against
the bourgeois reaction, fascism, social
fascism, and the Young Plan and for
the social and national emancipation
OF the German proletariat.

are paid only one-third to two-thirds
of the regular union rate.
There is no prtence of centralized
or general relief for the jobless. Char

cases.
