Barrett explains in the forward that

the city's needy He said the Red Cross
could not attempt to undertake unem-
ployment relief. but would investigate

TAMPA, Fla, April s-The Tampa
Ministers Association yesterday viewed
with great alarm" an invitation ex-
tended by the American Legion to all
girls Of this city to attend a series Of
dances in connection with the State
Legion Convention opening Thursday.
The associations sta.elnent said:
The public dance at best holds temp
tations that are detrimental to good
morals and the ministers view with
great alarm these dances 10 which in
yltations have been promiscuously issued
10 the young womanhood of our city.
We feel that the invitation, given so
lndlScriminately through the press to
all the girls of the city to attend the
dances. does not afford proper protec-
ton to the young womanhood of our
community nor to the manhood of the
State"
Gettis B. Henderson, commander Of
U. S. S.-Tampa Post of the Legion, host
to the convention, said: THE Legion
naturally intended no harm in its in
vitation. 1t wants to entertain its vis-

viii Open Campaign to Rally
Women to Party in Buff
faIo Next Week.

Nellie Tayloe Ross, vice chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
plans a speaking campaign to bring
women voters into the Democratic
columns for 1882.
Announcement to this effect was
made as Chairman Shouse of the Dem
ocratic National Executive Committee
formally opened his party'S 1882 cam
paign last night with an address at
Des Moines, Iowa, President Hoover 5
native State.
1.-The women of this country seated
Herbert Hoover" the former Wyoming
Governor said, land they are the ones
who will unseat him. / am ready to
show them why and how they should
do it."
Campaign Opens Next Week.
Mrs Ross. who is in charge of
women's activities for the National
Committee, said she would open the
campaign next week at a Jefferson day
rally at Buffalo.
In May she will go to Indiana to ad-
dress a Statewide Democratic rally.
Shortly afterward she will start on a
Western swing through II States. She
will travel a Northern route to the
Pacific Coast, speaking along the way,
returning over a Midcontinental route,
so as to cut through the Middle West.
1T seems to me" she said, that the
Hoovercrat is an extinct species, par
ticularly the feminine gender. Women
apparently believed the Hoover, home.

stoned to find it should have been Hoover,
hunger and helplessness!

eve are doing everything possible to
arouse women to their political respon-
sibility." Mrs. Ross continued. I'VE are
determined to make men see that the
partisan activities of women. which
they welcome in campaigns, will be in
finitely more valuable if they induce
women to come into the regular organ
izations and take part in co-ordinated
effort"
She said she hoped to obtain the
votes of Democratic women, but she
would concentrate on getting the inde-
pendent wCman's support.
Both parties have been asleep at the
switch in relying on women to vote with
their husbands" she said They seem
not to have realized, in the past, that
of women who voted the majority had
no husband / believe most married
women vote as their husbands do; but
there is ample evid snce that husbands
and wives in the land are not entirely
in harmony on all points"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-23

The delegation of the 1900 totally and
,part-time unemployed workers, representing
over 100000 men, women and children OF
the working class, are beginning the National
Hunger March to Washington!
The capitalists, with their class in power
of government, are resorting to the most
shameless lies and demagogy to cover up
the starvation of these 4O,000,000 people
one-third of the population of this country.
Workers, you must expose everywhere to
your shopmates the LIE, so carefully and
Systematically being spread in every capital
ist paper about PROSPERITY RETURN
INGw For it is nothing but LIE!
Everywhere the capitalist economic crisis
is DEEPENING! In spite of the lies to the
contrary which you read in papers published
by the bosses to deceive you, the "Annallst,"
journal of finance, commerce and econ
omics, published only for the eyes of capt.
talists, admits in it's last issue-of Nov. 20,
that things are getting still worse. 1t says:
"The preliminary figure for the Annalist
Index of Business Activity for October,
shows drop to 67.2 per cent" That was for
October, then it continues with the current
week by saying: "Other records for the
week confirm a present DOWNWARD
TREND. Building contracts for the first
half of the month are notably LOW. PRICES
DECLINE SLIGHTLY. Activity in steel
and automobile is DELAYED"
Workers the propaganda of lies about
'better times coming" is a lie intended to
KEEP YOU QUIET WHILE YOU CON-
TINUE TO STARVE!
Let your answer be that you will RE-
FUSE TO STARVE! Employed workers,
you have no certainty of YOUR JOB tomor-
row! Part-time workers, and you who have
had your WAGES staggered by the treach-
erous leaders of the American Federation
of Labor agreement with Hoover for "shar-
ing work-and WAGES, you will be COM
PEELED to accept this PERMANENTLY-un-
less you fight!
Let all workers understand the capitalist
plot to cut the standard of living to coolie
level! To force the entire burden of the
crisis and decay of capitalism onto the work
ers! To try to keep the starving millions
quiet by miserable and inadequate charity
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-23

erusts. BY lying about "good times COM
ing" and by police clubs against the Commu-
nists who expose these lies and lead the fight
Of millions for bread.
The capitalists are seeking markets in
China" But, workers, if they get them, the
bosses can only hold them ultimately by
forcing you to work for LOWER WAGES
THAN THE CHINESE COOLIE! AMY they
can get them ONLY BY WAR, in which you
will be asked to shed your blood to bring
about this coole standard of slaves!
The Hoover government refuses to give
ONE CENT to the starving millions, while
it spends $1,000000000 ARMING FOR
WAR! The capitalist politicians are busy
as beavers, with the Tammany boss, Curry,
dickering at Washington with the full au-
thority of Governor Roosevelt, for patron
age graft, as are also the so-called ''progres-
sives" All are engaged in LOOT, and not
one of them gives damn about the starv-
ing millions of workers!
ONLY THE WORKING CLASS, by mass
organization and mass struggle, can FORCE
THESE SCOUNDRELS TO FEED THE
STARVINGl The NATIONAL HUNGER
MARCH will knock at the doors of Congress
{
means to meet the need of the workers:
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FOR
ALL JOBLESS AND PART-TIME WORK
ERS, the cost to be paid entirely by the
capitalists and the capitalist government, AT
FULL WAGES, AND ADMINISTERED BY
THE WORKERS, not by the charity
grafters!
WINTER RELIEF of $3.50 cash to each
jobless worker, and $50 additional for each
dependent!
ALL WAR FUNDS TO THE UNEM-
PLOYEDi ALL FARM BOARD FOOD
SUPPLIES AND CHARITY FUNDS TO BE
GIVEN TO THE UNEMPLOYED AND AID
MUSTERED BY THE WORKERS!
Workers, you CAN WIN THESE DE-
MANDS! Join the Unemployed Councils in
your city! Unite your organization, trade
union, workers fraternal society to support
the NATIONAL HUNGER MARCH! Smash
down the capitalist resistance to the de-
mand of the starving millions for bread

writer's receive may be found in the
case of Ii Wei-sen, talented assayist
and editor of the Shanghai Red
Flag" He was arrested on January
18th by the British police in the in
ternational settlement, and turned
over to the Chinese authorities for
trial. After being tortured for three
weeks he was buried alive along with
four of his comrades, while nineteen
others were shot over his grave.
These facts are matter of record.
DR.. Kuo Mo-Jo, today the best
known writer in China, disappeared
some months ago. Nobody knows
whether he is in hiding from the
police or whether he has been secretly
executed. And the terror is extending
from the Chinese writer's themselves
to Europeans suspected of being in
sympathy with them. Mr. Ruegg, a
Swiss citizen, secretary of the Pan
Pacific Trade Union, was arrested
with his wife and the two of them
are now being tried under the charge
of Communism. If convicted they
are subject to immediate execution"
