English imperialists will not be able
to spend as large sum, altho close

spend more than 1857, 100000.
These figures, it is admitted in
cable to yesterdays New York
Times, will control American, Brit

next six years, regardless of whether
the London conference produces a
five or a three-power treaty"
The French and Italian imperial
lists withdrew from the London pic
ture when Jacques Dumesnil, French
Minister of Marine, informed A. V.
Alexander, First Lord of the British
Admiralty, that France would never
concede parity to Italy and in fact
demands a superiority of 100000
tons over the latter. To which the
Italian imperialists retorted that
their fellow exploiters in France
were angling to make Italy "respon-
sible for the downfall of the con-
ference"
At the same time the Anglo
French discussions on security have
resulted in nothing but London fog.

ment, the great successes of the
cultural revolution.
He then compared all this with
the chronic state of crisis in the
capitalist countries, misery, impov-
erishment and protracted unemploy-
ment for the workers.
When the Five-Year Plan was
first published, Karl Kautsky, the
Socialist declared that it was a
utopia which would lead to catas-
trophe for the economic system of
the Soviet Union if any attempt
were made to put it into action
The answer of the working masses
of the Soviet Union after the car
rying out of the first year of the
plan was--the Five Year Plan in
four years! The Friends of the So
Wet Union should develop into a
Red Army of enlightenment con-
corning the real situation of the
Soviet Union.

and FL. Takers

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 81. - The
Communist Party is holding its
final campaign rally on Sat-, Nov.
l, at Liedertafel Hall, Seventh and
Highland with Comrade Amter as
the main speaker. AS many as
1900 workers of Milwaukee and
vicinity are expected to hear one of
the leaders of the N. Y. unemployed
struggle as well as leading Commu-
mist candidates on the ballot in this
state who will expose the role of
the socialist" party which is daily
betraying the masses and the La
Toilette group which now hollers
that it will fight against anyone
who tries to deny the wonderful
progress Wisconsin is making-this
while tens of thousands are starv-
ing and conditions getting worse
every day.
The speakers will mobilize the
workers for the unemployed and
strike struggles this fall and winter
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party which alone fights for
the working masses against the La
Toilette and socialist betrayals. All
workers vote Communist. Attend
the Amter meeting.

Confiscate Workers
Bail for Court Fines

OAKDALE, Calf, Oct. 22.-In
his efforts to strangle the struggles
of the workers at the bidding of the
bosses, Judge Bacon deliberately
confiscated money put up for bail
in the case of six Oakland workers
up for sentence in connection with
an unemployment demonstration.
Although these workers had refused
to pay the fines inflicted by this
minion of the bosses, the judge or
dered six hundred dollars in fines
deducted from bail money furnished
by other workers.
In ordering this outrageous action,
Judge Bacon clearly showed his
anti-working class attitude, declar-
ing sending them to Jail would
only give them something to talk
about and they don't want to work
anyhow and would cause the city
only an expense"
The international Labor Defense
is holding mass meeting to pro-
test this attempt to demoralize the
struggles of m~~>lnt workers, and
will thoroughly expose Judge Bacon
and his bosses before the working
class.

DETROIT JOBLESS
MEET, OCT. 24TH
Will Expose Fakery of
Murphy Relief

DETROIT, Oct. 20. - Murphy's
unemployment committee has lately
issued a statement with the aim of
proving to the workers how much
they are doing for the unemployed,
stating that for the last months,
100 jobs have been given to the
unemployed workers. This means
that out of 100000 unemployed in
Detroit, and an average new regist-
ration of 500 per day, only 100
have been supplied with jobs. With
the reduction of activity in the
manufacturing plants, and with
more lay-offs, every day, larger
numbers than 1900 have been laid
off in the last few days. This means
that not only was unemployment not
reduced but definitely increased in
the last few weeks, since the fake
unemployment committee is IN oper-
alton.
Those, however, who did get jobs,
were compelled to work for So per
day or less, and the whole job usu-
ally lasted for only few days.
Workers who were given employ
ment cards were considered employ
ed, no matter if they only worked
one day, and then they were refused
relief by the relief committee. The
whole scheme of "giving jobs" aims
to reduce the number of workers
who receive meager relief from the
fake Murphy Relief Committee.
The 6 weeks, since Murphy is in
office, have already convinced a
large number of workers of the fake
promises made during the election
campaign and that the workers can
expect noting. The Unemployed
Councils of Detroit are calling a
Mass Demonstration for Friday,
October %, at Grand Circus Park
at IL Noon. This demonstration will
demand immediate relief. The I'M
employed workers will, through
their struggles, make an end to the
Murphy charity schemes, and de-
mand immediate city relief for the
unemployed workers.

at signal given by Mayor Walker
in the chambers of the Board of

of the unemployed by refusing to

date for lieutenant governor of New
York State, and leader of the I'm
employed Council Committee; Sam
Nessin, Milton Stone, Robert Lea

Pogrebisvy, charged with "disor-
derby conduct" and "inciting to
riot" The district attorney de-
manded immediate trial,
Joseph Brodsky, attorney for the

manded a postponement until Walk

having, the postponement was
granted until October %, but when
it came to issuign subpoenas for the
