Heavenly Rest
By JORGE

The New York capitalist papers suddenly dis
covered that the Communist Party in the
election last Monday when it told in Mortified
tones how somebody had painted Vote Com
munist!" on the wall of the Church of the
Heavenly Rest" which is properly located in the
MALAGA cane and top hat district of upper Fifth
avenue. There is no REST heavenly other
wise, for the workers in the districts further
uptown or lower downtown.
The scandalized SEXTON instead OF appealing
to the deity, which might properly, under CAPT
talist Prescriptions, be interested, grabbed the
phone and called for the cops
Which is like story told us by an interpreter
we had once in China. He for years work.
lating the missionaries sermons to the Chinese,
wherein the missionary told them that when
danger threatened them (the Chinese) they
should send God a wireless and help would be
sent
But when the Northern Expedition went up to
the walls of Wuhan the interpreter and all the
other Chinese noted that instead of calling on
God the missionaries wired for gunboats.
Indeed those "of little faith" actually have sus-
picions about Gods intentions, and in the case
of the Catholic church which sets at State street
and Chicago avenue in Chicago, they put UP
modern set of lightning rods to be sure that a
thunderbolt wouldn't mistake their sacramental
wine for the bootleg stuff sold across the street.
God can't be too careful these days, with

Reverend Norman Thomas all mixed UP with

veIopments inherent in capitalist relationships in
agriculture. What are some of the limitations to
large scale farming?
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce which think
everyone will agree speaks with the voice of
finance capital, says that large scale organiza-
lions of agriculture cannot effect all of the econo
mics which similar organizations effect in other
industries"
1t mentions the seasonal nature of production
process which requires peak loads of labor for
a relatively short period, and diversity of soil
and topographic conditions 1t mention the lack
of interest of hired labor, saying that while
the small farmers cheerfuly CD will work late
at night or spend 16 hours in the fields,
hired laborers will do these things only If paid
overtime wages" 1t also says that the wide
dispersion of farm laborers on some types of
farms makes supervision difficult" that is, they
cannot be speeded up as in factory.
1t is said that many of the bonanza" farms
organized in the new regions of the Northwest
have been broken up, and although it adds that
other corporations have been formed in newer
regions for exclusive wheat cultivation, the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce Is not convinced of their
survival. AS to the corporation farming In other
products it says that some such farms are owned
by food processing companies, canneries, sugar
factories, and milk products plants to insure an
adequate supply of raw materials
But it says that there is no apparent necessity
for appreciable increase in the number of such
farms, and IL look behind the superficial
ownership of such farms we will see, for example,
that the sugar beet farm land owned by beet
sugar companies is worked by contract labor
with minimum of capital equipment, on small
sub divisions of their supposed Large scale
equipment farms by in fact the most rud1-
mentary hand labor Of whole families of miser-
ably paid immigrant labor, living the most
wretched lves-toilng with bent backs in the
fields from dawn to dark, working with hand
and hoe and by no means with anything resem-
bling technical revolution"

Always Fishing

The biggest banks of Cuba were going smash,
and rebellious depostors surging through the
streets while martial law holding down
armed rebels in several provinces And where
was the President of the Republic? Darned II
the N. Y. Times didn't tell:
president Machado hurrying back
from fishing trip at Varadero, in Matanzas
Province"
Seems though presidents have little else to
do but go fishing. When Hoover isn't fishing at
winter time in Florida, he is fishing up the Rapi
dan. If they would simply stay away fishing. 1t
might not be bad. But they come back and
use prosperity" for bait and take the workers
for suckers.
Some day shortly Machado is going fishing and
find nice new government set up in the Havana
before he gets back, and If it happens to be a.
workers Soviet government, we'll bet his fish
will be fried.

PRE-PLENUM DISCUSSION


Worker agents This manner of choosing agents
we must alter as immediate step in creating
responsive and efficient Young Worker apparatus
We can record the fact that several units do
regularly sell the Young Worker at the factories
where they concentrate. That the paper has been
placed on newsstands downtown and in the
Bronx. And that at the demonstra ton funeral
OF Comrade Levi 300 copies sold At the
same time We have failed far to arrange for
Young Worker routes Our activity lacks system
and directive. The paper must be sold first at
the factories and the clubs where the workers
are found regularly and not to transient riders
In the subway as some units do. Not only that
but the Young Worker must be incorporated and
used In every campaign of ours. 1t must be
linked up with all the struggles of the young
workers. Only by placing the Young Worker
In the hands of the greatest number of workers
DO we give reality to our aim "the Young Worker
the organ Of the fighting youth"
Can we establish mass circulation for the
Young Worker as a result Of more intense activ-
lty? Can we create maintenance fund for it?
We certainly can. But we have hardly started
Today we resort often to collections to help the
paper. This is not very satisfactory. This does
not create the guarantee for it's regular appear
ance. Only upon broad base of young worker
subscribers can our organ come out weekly. At
present we have more subscribers than before
May /. But this is still not enough to maintain
the Young Worker as weekly. We attempt
collections. Let us keep collecting, but col
lect for Young Worker fund. We must inject
some red blood into the circulation of the Young
worker by getting subs from individual workers,
mass subs from organizations, establish routes
In working class sections, sell the paper at the
shop gates and within the shops.

The Weeks Prize

julius Klein, who is Assistant Secretary of
Commerce in these not altogether United States
and who poses as SOME economist, has seconded
the opinion of his Chief that the business de-
preston is nearing its end"
Only Klein gets specific, and sets a date for 1t.
At speech in New York last Friday Klein said
that 1.-THE United States will be out of the cur
rent economic depression by the end of Octo-
ber."
That's funny enough, and reminds that
Hoover once renown by saying last March
that it would be over in 60 days But Klein
proves it; yes sir, by showing that out of tif-
teen crises during the last fifty years, fourteen
have lasted thirteen months
Now it's downright queer why Klein didn't tell
Hoover that back in March and save Herbert
from making of himself.
But we have the best remark yet in store for
you Klein added
"Our food bill will be from $500 100000
to $1,000 100000 below that of last year,
something that is partly due to moro care
full marketing, and this releases that amount
for other expenditures"
Did you ever hear the like? A worker who
loses job that pays him s25 week has, ac-
cording to Klein, that amount released for other
expenditures"
AS any fool knows, the first charge against
wages is for food. And If, for example, and due
solely to the crisis only 100000 workers lost
jobs that paid an average of s25, that would
mean loss of buying power of S3,900,0o0000.
Since between 80 and 40 percent is demanded
by landlords as rent, 1t appears clear that pos
sibly 5000 900 lost their jobs directly as a result
of the crisis, IT, as Klein states, their food buy
ing fell short of last years by possibly s5,000-
100000.
But here Klein upsets the apple of
Hoovers Census Bureau which has told us fairy
tales about there being only 100000 jobless!
How could that be, with such a fall in food buy
ing?
Yet Klein explains" it by saying that 1t was
because of more careful marketing" Boloney!
And he goes on to gable about there being
more electricity consumed this year than the
last. AS If the millions of jobess workers had
lost their appetites for ham and eggs and gone
kilowatt diet!

Broun as Educator"

(Member of the Unemployed Delegation:
Imprisoned)
We hear that Haywood Broun, Socialist" can
didate for Congress in the 18th silk stocking dis
trict has undertaken the political education OF
Mrs. Ruth Pratt, Republican candidate in the
district.
This indeed is not very startling, but it is at
least significant, nasmuch as Broun's "educa-
tional" elforts are identical to the "educationaP
efforts of Socialists" the world over.
Royal "Education" for Macdonald
Ramsay Macdonald, Englands leading Social
ist," notorious for his wholesale slaughter of In
dian workers, has also undertaken an "educa-
tional" mission of considerable proportions.
Ramsay so reports have it, has just recently re-
turned from vacationing with King George and
the English royal family. And we are advised
that Ramsay spent most of his time giving
George good" political "education"-that is. he
assured the king that the English aristocracy has
nothing to fear from the English Socialists;
that the Socialist Party is for strengthening
capitalism and not for destroying it.
Broun, however, did not go vacationing with
his student like Macdonald did. Instead he Of
fered to withdraw from the election campaign If
Mrs. Pratt would save capitalism by adopting
the Socialist" Partys fake unemployment pro-
gram, program that Waldman. another Social
ist," assured Governor Roosevelt could not be put
into effect and which the Socialists dis
playing to fool the workers and to snatch votes.
Broun. like his partner, Macdonald, shows
clearly by his clownsh antics what class the
Socialist" Party represents While Macdonald
hobnobs with royalty, Broun offers his support
to the Republican Party party that is admit
tedly out and out and above board anti-working
class and capitalistic.
Also, as part of this educational campaign,
Broun presented Mrs Pratt with volume of
George Bernard Shaw's book. "An Intelligent
Woman's Guide to Socialism" which, upon care
full examination, we find to be nothing more or
less than social fascists defense of capitalism
and all its dire manifestations. Shaw discards
the Marxist doctrine altogether He denies the
class theory Of society. the theory of class antag
onispls and also the theory of the class struggle.
The very idea Of revolution is thrown overheard

BERLIN, Nov. 18.-Anti-SoWet re-

here yesterday. The first meeting
was a lively session. Battalions Of
police cordons surrounded the Sport

preventing the. masses OF workers
from entering. However, enough OBJ
tanned entrance TO subject the speak
ers to constant Interruptions. Occa-
sionally tumults prevented the speak

\ There we're cheers for the Soviet
Union and singing Of the Interna-

drawn clubs attempted to clear part
of the hall Of workers. The workers
defended themselves with chairs. The
police drew their revolvers and
terrible bloodbath was imminent
when officers decided to limit op-
erations to clubbing.
The translation of the speech OF

R.R Takers Try to Dodge Jobless Insurance

CHICAGO, Nov. ia meeting Of
several hundred general chairmen Of
the Big Four railroad brotherhoods
has been in session here as special
committee on unemployment, grap-
pling with the jobless situation in
order to find the best means Of max
ing an adjustment" suitable to the
bosses.
Thus far, a modified form of the
Hoover stagger plan has been agreed
on, with a terrific wage cut for the
railroad men now employed. Due to
seniority rights, and other special
features of railroad operation, the
takers are finding it hard to put over
the stagger system. But they are
met with serious problem. In the
past ten years 100000 railroad men
were thrown out of jobs. During the
