bacco workers collected in front of
the tobacco factory Vix and forced
their way into the workshops. Hur-
riedly summoned police made two
arrests, but the remaining workers
commenced work in the factory. In
the end police reinforcements eject
ed the workers from the building.

ers when they tried to dispense the
crowd. Only after the police had
used their revolvers did the workers
dispense.
Later on similar scenes occurred
in front Of the Hadijgeorgiu tobacco
works where a number of police
were badly mauled. Mounted rein
forcements attacked the workers and
a bitter struggle took place during
the course Of which number of po-
lice were dragged from their horses
and thrashed. Thirteen workers
were arrested and maltreated.

Nails Whalen's Lies,


Another letter in the World, dated
March II, says:
"It is my opinion that the Com
munist leaders did not deliberately
provoke the riot in Union Square, as
I was standing at No. al Union
Square and saw the whole thing.
"a young man struck policeman
and started to run. Another officer
gave chase and caught him. The
young man tried to explain and ran
again. He was caught and this time
produced small, brown leather case
and showed the officer detectives
badge. I believe that this action
really caused the riot.
"The boy was young man with a
young looking face, wearing gray
cap, blue overcoat and brown
suit, and he couldn't have been more
than eighteen or nineteen years Of
age. He had an exceedingly hard
time trying to explain to the officer
until he showed the badge"
Editors note-In regard to the
above letter, the basic fact remains
that the capitalist city government
of New York had conscious policy
of answering the demand of the un-
employed workers for bread with
violence. 1t was the conscious policy
of the capitalist government to pre-
vent the workers from using their
rights to the streets, to march to
the seat of the city government with
their demands, etc. The complete
police mobilization (tear gas bombs,
machine guns, etc. was already a
provocation for the clubbing which
followed. The democratic cloak
hiding the capitalist dictatorship is
removed, the government stands for
ward in all its naked ugliness as the
armed fist of the bosses--the ex-
ploiters of the unemployed and en-
ployed workers.)

Wall Street Bankers
Start Big Rail Merger;
More JObless R.R. Men

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Interstate Commerce Commission
has not been asleep on the job since
it recently proposed giant merger
of United States railroads into q
unified systems. Tie commission
authorized the New York Central
Railroad to, acquire control of the
Federal Valley Railroad Co. Of
Ohio. The Federal Road is only one
of a number of short lines which the
New York Central was to take over
as part of it's own merger program.
Thus, practical steps towards
realizing the dream of the rail mag
mates and the Wall Street govern
ment have already been undertaken.
The complete realization of these
merger plans in the immediate fu-
ture will throw at least 100000 rail
workers out of work in addition to
the 250,000 that have already been
dropped from the industry in the
last 10 years, due to improved
methods and machinery.

armed power. E"
"Thus," wrote Engels, "since the
18th of March, the class character
of the Partisan movement. nitnHtA
forced into the background by the
struggle against the foreign inva-
sion, came sharply and clearly to
the fore. Just as in the Commune
there sat almost exclusively work
ers or recognized representatives OF
the workers, so their decisions also
bore a decidedly proletarian char
acter... All this, however, could,
at most, only begin to be realized
in besieged city. And from the
beginning of May, all energies were
claimed by the struggle against the
ever increasing masses of the col
lected army of the Versailles gov
ernment."
The heroic Communards were
struggling against the greatest diff
ficulties. They had committed seri-
Gus blunders in allowing the bour-
geoisie to rally their forces; they
had hesitated to begin the civil war
against the treacherous bourgeoisie,
although Thier had already begun
the civil war against the workers
by attempting to disarm them. The
Commune was overwhelmed by num-
bers.
Only after an eight-day struggle
did the last defenders of the Com
mune succumb on the heights Of
Belleville and Menilmontant; and
now the murder of defenseless men,
women and children which ragged the
whole week through in increasing
proportions, was started by the
bourgeoisie.
The working class of the world
will not forget the crimes Of the
bourgeoisie. The toilers of Russia
did not fail to learn the, lessons of
the Paris Commune. The Com
munards made many serious and
costly mistakes. But they did not
have a Communist Party, steeled
and disciplined, to guide their strug-
gle against the French capitalists.
The Communards made the seri-
Gus political error of not seizing the
Bank of France. They failed to
march on Versailles when the reac-
tionary part of the Partisan Ma
tional Guard had quit the, field.
They did not win over the poor
peasantry. They failed to rid them
selves of legalistic superstitions and
respect for parliamentary forms.
But the Communards learned right
from the beginning that they must
destroy the capitalist state and build
workers state. a.
Such a workers state, a dictator.
ship Of the proletariat, was fully
developed only in the November Re-
volution in Russia and exists today
in the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics.
All over the world, class-conseious
workers will remember the Paris
Commune today; with fists clenched
and steeled determination in their
hearts, they promise the heroic Com
munards to carry on the struggle.
The Paris Commune failed; but it
lives in the great revolution OF the
Russian proletariat.

What about the building industry :?
During 1929 there was a drop of 13
per cent in building activity below
1928. During 1880 the drop is con-
tinuing, in spite of the low money
rates, in spite of the extraordinary
efforts of all the state and national
government agencies, and in spite of
the thousands of promises by rail-
roads and public utilities to increase
their building programs.
Building contracts for February,
