LEGION AND I.W.W.
IN.FASCIST ROLE
But Toilers Are Ready
for Them
Seattle, Wash.

Seattle, Wash.
Dear Comrade:
There is in the ranks of the
I,W.W. members of the American
Legion who are agitating the rank
and file members of the I.W.W.
into open fascist methods against
the Communist Party, trying to
start open warfare between the
members of the I.W.W. and men,
bers of the Communist Party and
the Trade Union Unity League.
They have succeeded in getting
drunkards to attack speakers on the
Communist soap-box with the in
tentions of starting a "free for alp
fight. But workers with sober
minds don't fall for such crude traps
as the American Legion have set
for them which will give the police
an excuse for stopping workers
speaking on the streets of Seattle.
These American Legionnaires
dress in longshoremen's clothes to
carry on their lies and SANDER
against the Communist Party and
the T.U.U.L. and also villifying the
Soviet Union among the workers in
the I. w. W., while on the other hand
you will find these same individuals
uptown, dressed in the latest fash
ions of the seasons, wearing in the
button hole of their coat lapel the
American Legion buttons. These
rats are pugs and sluggers and are
trained for pugilistic encounters.
However, they seem to have a
yellow streak, because they get
weaklings to do their dirty work and
never back them up.
Members here are ready for them.

profits. 1t organizes the workers
for struggle, as a class, to use it's
mighty power to wiring the demand
for social insurance from the boss
government.
All Out September LIST!
AS first step in this mighty
movement for social insurance, the
Trade Union Unity League has or
ganized huge demonstrations all
over the country for "Unemploy-
ment Day." Sept. /. This day has
been set aside by the A. F. of l..
and the boss government to glorify
their rotten system of exploitation.
The takers will work overtime to
attempt to make the workers
pleased with their lot. AS a con-
trast, the T.U.U.L. will expose the
bitter conditions of the unemployed,
the mass wage-cuts, and the grow
ing struggle for unemployment in
surance.
In nearly every industrial center
in the United States there will be
demonstrations for the Bill, under
the leadership of the T.U.U.L.
Kensington.
In the Kensington, Pa, district
the textile workers have joined in
support of the Workers Social In
surance Bill. A mass meeting, held
in Mcpherson Square, was ad-
dressed by J. Louis Engdahl, Emil
CARLOS and Betty Gannett demand
ing the passage of the Bill. The
hundreds of workers present voted
unanimously to carry on the fight
for its passage.
Milwaukee.
A mass demonstration is being
called in Milwaukee, Wis, at Red
Arrow Park, Sept. /. In a leaflet
issued by the T.U.U.L. the fake
scheme of the Wisconsin Federation
of Labor for unemployment insur-
ance," is exposed. The leaflet states
that this is q, fake promise holding
tout the false hope of few crumbs
so that we should not fight for the
wages we are entitled to. The un-
employment insurance proposed by
the Socialists" Of Wisconsin and
the Federation is the same kind that
the workers of France are now
striking against" The workers are
forced to stand the burden of the
measly payments, while the bosses
hang on to their profits.

IND INTERNAT'L
ENDORSE LABOR
POLICY IN INDIA
Support Boss Fake Dis
armament Talk

ZURICH, Aug. 25.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the Second In
ternational which is meeting here,
officially endorsed the imperialist
policy of the British Labor labor
party in India.
In a resolution dealing with the
question, it put the stamp of it's
approval on the round-table con-
ference which is the labor party's
device of keeping the Indian masses
in subsection and supplement this
endorsement with a fake proposal
for San early and extensive
amnesty" and reechoes the Indian
bourgeois traitors, such as Gandhi
and Co., by suggestion to call off
the disobedience campaign.
During the discussion, w. ellis
made a shameless defense of Brit
ish policies in India which, he says,
is consistent with socialist ideals"
Archibald Fenner Brocllway, one of
tn leaders of the fake "elft" wing
of the British labor party, first pre-
tended to fool the workers by de-
nouncing the labor government
policy in India, but finally agreed
to the position mentioned in the
resolution above, thus virtually en-
dorsing MacDonald's policy in India.
4n.5 is almost a classical example
OF how the cleft" reformists render
substantial service to the fright
social fascists and their bourgeois
masters by playing with cleft
phrases"
Another thing that occupied the
attention of the social fascists Of
the Second International is a great
deal of talk and gestures about
disarmament" magic word of the
bourgeois politicians and social
fascists. 1t is, of course, quite be-
coming the social-fascists to act as
the propagandists of the bour-
geoisie in spreading a smoke screen
on the issue of war danger, by at
tempting to delude the workers
into believing that disarmament is
possible.

New Speed-up
Means More JObless

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Comrades:
Enclosed you will find a clipping
which will illustrate how the bosses
are trying to "solve" the unemploy-
ment problem.
The story tells how 500 men will
complete double wall in Is days,
we know that after Is days these
500 men will be on the street "help-
ing" the other thousands to find a
job.
This is the only solution the
bosses have for unemployment, the
introduction of new machinery,
speed-up and wage-cuts.

Millions Starve; Rich
to Pay Social Insurance

Continued From Page One.)
bosses says: eve are in for wage
reductions!"
The bosses, who reaped fortunes
put of their exploitation of the
workers, are now attempting to
make the workers suffer the whole
burden of the crisis. They want
the workers out of jobs to starve.
They think this is good way to
get rid of them. But the workers
must not stand by and starve. They
must fight. By the millions they
must line up behind the demand for
social insurance, as advocated by
the Communist Party.
The Bill.
What is social insurance, against
which the whole force Of the cap
italists, their government and the
fascist leaders of the A. F.. of L.,
lis directed? The Workers Social
Insurance Bill advocated by the
Communist Party demands that
the boss government Immediately
turn over for unemployment insur-
ance the billions it is spending for
war. The Bill provides a minimum
weekly payment to all unemployed
of $25. With millions unemployed,
the bosses do not want to part with
their swollen profits. They will
not part with them until they are
forced to do SO by a mass move
ment of the workers, solidly united
under the leadership of the Trade
Union Unity League and its unem-
~lAsed councils.
Other Demands.
The Workers Social Insurance
MI goes further. Recognizing that
unemployment will grow worse as
the cisis deepens, the Bill demands
that levy be placed against all
fortunes of $4,000 and over, and
an income tax on incomes of $4,000
and over, to create necessary fund
to cover the regular weekly pay
ments for the unemployed.
The bosses with their billions, will
not part with them without being
forced to. 1t is to protect the
bosses that the A. F. of L. and
socialist" party cook up their fake
schemes on unemployment insur-
ance?" What is the gist of these
schemes? That the workers should
pay, not the bossesl This is a
remedy--for the bosses. Those al
ready employed are having their
wages cut. They do not get enough
to live on, let alone being forced to
give up part of it for a fake "un-
employment insurance" scheme.
Under this scheme, how are those
millions already unemployed to
benefit? The socialists" are not
much concerned about this, as their
interests lie with the capitalists.
The Workers Social Insurance
Bill, of the Communist Party, con-
siders the needs of the workers. 1t
