Capitalism Starves Workers.

American capitalism is in the grip of the
deepest crisis of it's history. Millions of
workers are jobess. The workers chance
to live and to maintain his family depends
on his job. No job means no wages. No
wages means no income. No income means
misery, disease, eviction, starvation.
Nine billions of dollars were the losses
in wages sustained last year by the Amer
lean workers according to official govern
ment statistics. The result of these losses
on the working class are an unanswerable
indictment against American capitalism
Whole mining communities in West Virginia
are faced with acute starvation. On endless
breadlines hundreds of thousands of hungry
workers wind their weary ways thru the
streets of the industrial cities. Large mas
ses of hungry workers children thruout the
country are defenseless objects of tubercu-
loss. No amount of Xmas seals can redeem
even an appreciate part of these victims
of capitalism. Suicides of destitute workers
are the order of the day and their record fills
the columns of the daily press. Homeless
and penniless workers camp in abandoned
brick kilns and other places thruout the
country, affording them meager shelter
Thousands upon thousands of hometown
ing" American workers have been and are
being foreclosed and are parted from their
homes. Hundreds of banks have failed, bury
ing the savings of virtually millions of work
ers under their ruins. Thus, these workers
were separated by the capitalists from their
scant reserves exactly at the time when they
needed these reserves most.

started March 10 against an extra
hour work without pay in one mine.
The Glen Alden General Grievance
Committee is dominated by local
takers who want district office. and
these have tried continually to end
the strike without rousing the anger
OF the miners. One maneuver after
another has failed due to the de-
termination of the strikers to win
their real demands, for pay for dead
work, no topping. no wage cuts. i'm
provement in conditions, etc. Now
the General Grievance Committee
evidently decides that the miners are
losing their respect for the officials
anyway, and they might as well do
the operators bidding openly.

Soviet Union Points the Way

AS against this crisis of the capitalist
system, we witness the progress of the build

outstanding features of this contrast are:
Growth of unemployment in capitalist

Systematic wage cuts in capitalist Amer

conditions in the Soviet Union.
Fattening of profits at the expense of the

WORKERS OF AMERICA!

n n AY FIRST is approaching. May
MI First is International Labor Day.
Ava In the sos of the last century, May
First was chosen by American Labor as it's
own Day. In 1889 this day was accepted
by international Labor as it's own. The
American bosses dreaded working class
which dared to choose and to take a day for
itself. Out Of this fear the American Labor
Day" was born. 1t was gift of the cap
italst masters.
This maneuver of the bosses could not
change the character of May First as In
ternational Labor Day. 1t is still the Labor
Day chosen by the American workers them
selves. 1t is the Day on which labor by
downing tools and demonstrating, proves
its power to take what it wants. 1t is the
Day on which the working class of the world
demonstrates it's determination to fight for
what it wants.
The Communist Party of the U. S. A.
calls upon all workers in America to down
tools on May First and to join it in ma
tion-wide demonstration.

unemployed insurance.

Conglomerate Mixture of Color.
There were no restrictions on devices

became a conglomerate mixture of mill

allegorical floats. Some of the latter
were in serious yeir-more appealed

There were uniforms of all colors
