We will take it upon ourselves to
see that the Daily Workers get into

ing on. it is scandal how the jobs
are being handed over to the nench-
men of the authorities. This is the
same everywhere"
Great Struggles Near.
"Another thing that struck me,
Foster continued, ais the fact that
struggles are obviously near in many
places, really large scale struggles, by
steel workers in Youngstown and
vicinity by textile workers in Phila-
delptia, by textile workers in Law
renee and by shoe workers in Brock
ton and Haverhill. These are all
fights forced on the workers by wage
cuts, reductions which assume an
ever more sweeping character, and to
which resistance continually stifens
on the part of the workers"
Foster told how both employed and
unemployed in all places meetings
were held attach great Importance to
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill, and to organization and
demonstrations for it, signature col
lections and local demands. 1t was
characteristic of the deeply rooted
feeling that everywhere the local I'M
employed workers had drawn up COM
period in this respect.
Big Demonstrations Feb. 10.
At all the mass meetings the bill
was. endorsed and delegates to go
with it to washington either elected
plete lists of local demands, marking
a real advance over the March
or ratified, and both bill and delega-
tons were greeted with utmost en-
thusiasm by the masses.
Foster stated that apparently the
presentation Of the bill to congress
Feb 10, would be accompanied on a
national scale by the biggest and
most militant demonstration this
country has even seen.

Put Forth Party Pro
gram of Struggle

Special elections will be held in
Districts 7 and 9, Brooklyn, to replace
the late congressman of those dis

tering the election campaign and has
put up j. Louis Engdahl, national
secretary of the International Labor
Defense, as candidate in District T.
and Fred Biedenkapp, national or
ganizer of the Independent Shoe
Workers Union, in District 9. Those
two men are fighters and are well
known to the workers Of this city.
The issues of the campaign are
clear. The economic crisis, with its
mass unemployment, wage slashes
misery and starvation dictates the is
sues. The Communist Party and the
revolutionary unions have made i'm
mediate unemployment relief and I'M
employment insurance the central is
sue of the day. They are organizing
the workers for strikes against wage
cuts, speed-up. the 7-hour day, 5-day
week. Teh answer of the bosses and
the city government has been charity,
Lighthouses, breadlines, salvation army
handouts and policemen's clubs.
The campaign Of persecution of the
foreign born; the campaign of lynch
ing Negro workers. which came as far
north as New Jersey only a few
weeks ago, the campaign of dividing
the working class. in order that the
bosses may prosecute their plans for
another imperialist war, must be
combatted. The Communist Party
calls on the workers to rally to its
program of struggle of Class Against
Glass.
The Communist Party puts for
ward its program and candidates
against the program and candidates
of the republican ond democratic
parties-the program of mass hunger
and suppression; against the program
of the socialist party, which supports
the bosses in all attacks on the work.
ers; against the American Federation
of Labor, whose leaders have long
sold out the workers and support the
program of the bosses against the
workers against unemployed relief
and insurance, for wage cuts, speed
up, etc.).
The Communist Party will carry
ON vigorous campaign and calls or
the workers to vote for its program
and candidates on February II, the
