Boss Press Fears Expense

Are the capitalist papers wOr-
ried because more and more
thousands of workers are joining
the ranks of the unemployed?
They are not. Are the capitalist
papers worried because more and
more workers are starving? They
are not. What are they worried
about? They are worried that the
starving workers may force the
capitalists to give up some of their
swollen gains for unemployment
insurance.
The New York Evening Post is
running a series of articles by
the former governor of Kansas,
Henry Allen, who pretends to be
giving an Impartial description
of the British dole" system. He
is afraid" that S4 a week will
undermine the character of the
British worker. He thinks 81 a

writes, he saw some unemployed

1t hurts a capitalist hireIing

ELECTION RALLY
OCT. SIN DETROIT
Y.G.L. Exposes Misery
of Youth

DETROIT, Sept. 81 - With the
Communist Party having five can
didates on the ballot and conducting
an energetic election campaign, more
and more it can be seen that our
exposure of the graft and corruption
of the Murphy administration is hav-
ing its effect on the working class.
At the open air and indoor meetings
the candidates and speakers are kept
sometimes until midnight answering
the questions of the workers present.
In this task of rallying the work
ers and the starving unemployed
masses around the Communist Par
ty platform of immediate relief, the
Young Communist League is play
ing no small part, this in itself re-
flecting that the youth of Detroit are
also undergoing the same suffering
and misery as the adult unemployed.
The Young Communist League is now
preparing to give greater assistance
in rallying the workers to vote for
the Communist candidates in the
primaries on October 6. On october 5
there will be a Final Election Rally
and demonstration at the City Hall,
which in addition to boosting the
Communist candidates will be real
exposure of the hunger and misery
which exists amongst the working
class youth and children in Detroit.
In this demonstration the Y.C.L. will
be supported by the Pioneers who
will bring before Mayor Murphy's
eyes the true conditions existing
amongst the thousands of undernour-
ished and poorly clothed children in
Detroit.
This demonstration also will be
part of the preparations to arouse
the youth thru their organizations to
send delegates to the Youth Unem-
ployed Conference which will be held
on october 26 at BIT Frederick. Over
100 delegates are expected to be
present. This Conference will take
up specific demands of the youth and
children, who are deprived of relief
or suffering from undernourishment
and lack of clothing, also lay plans
for forcing the boss class administra-
ton thru struggle to give greater
regard to Detroit's working class
youth and children.

The masses of the British workers
are beginning to offer militant re-
sistance to the hunger program Of the
Macdonald National government. In
order to crush this militancy, the
British capitalist class is preparing
the introduction Of the open CAPT

They feel that the dictatorship must
be prepared now without any delay.
The New York Times reports this
from London:
ut will be war between capital
ism, making a last-ditch stand, and

The word socialism as applied to
what England has known for the
last two and half years as a
labor regime does not accurately
describe the forces that capitalism
now must fight.

Capitalists Recognize Snowden's

All parties recognize the treacher-

played for British imperialism. The
Liberal, Sir Donald Maclean, stated
that one of the chief objections to

the government would be deprived of

the financial interests of the nation,
that is, of British imperialism. That
is the reason for the hunger budget,
the cuts in the dole and in wages and
the attack on the living standards Of
the working class-the interests of
British imperialism.

Scotland, 10000 workers burned a
huge pile Of papers of the scab press,

Sept. 10, throwing over a thousand
men out of work. Some of them
