BY J. A. WHITE

WITH the coming municipal elections we md
w tendencies Of underestimstion on the part
of some Party comrades as 70 the necessity OF
putting the Party ON the ballot. If we read
the symptoms correctly this ailnnent which was
temporarily cured during the election campaign
last year is again very evident Some Party
members take the attitude that the few votes We
can get are not worth the effort it takes to
secure the necessary signatures to put the Party
on the ballot. Or else, some agree as to the
necessity OF securing these signatures, but as
sumo they are exempt from this activity. When
q Red Sunday comes and a few comrades show
UP they become disheartened, because many
others do no show up. The Y.C.L. takes the
attitude that this is Party work and therefore
must not be allowed to interfere with our other
activities" Occasionally some Of them devote a
half hour, one evening week, and then lit has
interfered with the completion of our plan of
action" Y.C.L. plan Of action does not include
an election campaign.
Must Get Signatures
There are certain city regulations which gov
ern the filing Of these signatures. AS we said
last year, THE elections are not a Party con-
vention which can be postponed" We are now
faced With the main task of collecting the neces-
5ary amount OF signatures in certain set time.
Unless the Party and the League are modified
one hundred per cent we will jeopardize our
election campaign and fail to put the Party on
the ballot Failure to put the Party on the ballot
would be severe blow and would lose for us the
hard-earned prestige that the Party has. 1t
would also be serious blow to the working class
Of Baltimore.
The necessity Of putting the Party on the bal
lot should be clear to the comrades. Those work
ers who have responded to our calls for dem
onstrations, those workers who have participated
In our hunger marches; those workers who have

Henry's Brand of HOOey

Henry Ford tells us, and we know it's true
cause we saw it in the papers, that Prosperity
is back" Only he amended it painfully by adj
ding that nobody knows it yet"
Henry is that way. He went on to say that at
Ford's there have been no wage cuts" He for
got to mention the little adjustments that take
place by firing 10000 OF 10000, twice that at
clip, then re-lliring then-sometimes- at lower
wages. Nor does he mention that the intensified
speed-up that increases production is wage cut
even though the money wage paid remains the
same.
Henry has been getting away with murder
during the Crisis. He has town of his own out
at Dearborn with a high wire fence around it
guarded by his own private army. Nobody can
get in or out except on written order. This cage
gentlemen, is for free Americans" who are asked
to get excited about "forced labor" in the Soviet
Union.
But Henry's game is wonderful. He pays no
taxes in Detroit and he lets some $4,000 Of his
former workers who live" in Detroit without
jobs they once had, starve to death for all he
cares. He even gives not dime to the COM
munity chest" of hocus pocus Murphy. Then he
has the gall to come forward as philanthropistl

Extent of the Hard Coal Crisis
in Shamokin, Pa.

THE conditions of the coal miners in the An
thracite are more deplorable than ever. One
glance at conditions in few towns Will bring
out the conditions and misery that exists here.
In Shamokin, Pa, the following mines
working steadE: The Big Nut, 700 miners; Henry
Clay, 400 miners; Entrynse, 300; that is four
teen hundred men working steady in a town
of $4,000.
The Corem Mine, 500 men and the Ben val
ley Mine with 300 men are working part time
two and three days week.
The mines of the Luck Fialer have been shut
down for two years, throwing out 700 men. One
Scott mine. 1000 men, one Elson mine, 200 men,
one Irish Brothers Mine, 400 men; one North
Franghn Mine. 1900 men; one Gimblet mine,
TOO men; one Boremside mine, 1000 men, have
been shut from one to four years laying off
total Of $500 men.
Five Thousand Jobless
Five thousand, five hundred unemployed for
over a year, 2l00 working most of them part
time Sheriff sales are largest in this town At
least ten to IS workers lose their property every
month. The wages of the miners that are still
working run from $40 to $40 week. The miners
are forced to do lot of work without pay. One
miner at the Glen Alden Coal Co. No. 20 worked
seven days and his pay was $2.o4. When he
came for his pay the welfare society was on the
job and took two dollars from him to help the
unemployed and let him go home and feed his
family on four cents. Another miner worked
nine days and got four dollars. In Plains Town
ship. 1000 homes are being turned over to the
tax collector.
Mines Shut Down
In District One Of the U. M. W. of A., 20
mines are shut down. The Glen Alden Coal Co.
claims that they are operating at loss. This
is deliberate lie. The profit of the company
has almost doubled this year, according to a
report in the capitalist papers. They are pre-
pairing for wage cuts. The small business men
in towns where mines are shut down are help
ing the coal company to cut wages. They are
calling mass meetings and telling the miners
that they could get the mines re-opened if they
would take wage reduction. The U. M. w. OF

Statement OF the National Textile
* Workers Union

To all fellow workers! To all militant working
class fighters everywhere
Fellow workers:
The National fertile Workers Union has just
gone through fierce battles with the bosses in
Lawrence and Maynard, Mass. More than $4,000
workers have been on strike against one Of the
most powerful textile trusts In the United States
the American Wooden Company. From these
battles our union emerged with an enrolled new
membership Of over 1000 of a calibre that will
stick and build our fighting union. The immed-
late future has in sight more struggles of larger
numbers and spread over a vastly wider area.
In Lawrence we went back into the mills after
wrestling from the American Wooden Company
our main demands: l. For the firing out Of the
efficiency men with their dannable stretch-out
schemes. 2. The original demand OF the comb
crs (Which precipitated the strike) for no nine
combs, only three as before. 3. A promise of
no discrimination. T. Recognition Of our mill
committees to discuss al grievances with the mill
management The demand for time and half
for overtime was refused by the mill-owners.
In Maynard we also went back with the strike
committee intact wifi the efficiency men fired

Bears i'm the Bushes
By yORGR

The Phoenix Arizona. Republic" has few
tremors of anxiety. It sees "the sinister face Of
Communism" back of some proposal or other pro-
viding for more fat jobs in the capitalist gov
ernmental bureaucracy to look after Child well
fare"
This it says, is the traditional right and
duty of parents. So it is under capitalism. But
under capitalism when the state steps in, it en-
tiers the welfare" business with the aim Of pre-
serving capitalism by more systematic capitalist
teaching than the parents capable OF. In fact
parents may not be very reliable.
When working class parents can no longer feed
their children food. they are likely to say naughty
things about capitalism in the presence OF their
children Any welfare" by the capitalist gov
eminent does not mean food and clothing for
the workers children, but hokun to keep them as
supporters for capitalism though on an empty
stomach it's very doubtful of success.

with second degree" murder, and later escaped
from prison.
Now where does he show up but in Nicaragua.
Arrested at Logtown, Nicaragua, accused Of fur
nishing arms and munitions to SANDING, found in
company with woman said to be related to
Sandino,and with said arms and munitions, Ches-
ser worked up an alibi like New York cop who
always explains big bank account as an "in-

our struggles against the demagogy and the fake
relief schemes of the grating city officials; it
is to the attention of those workers that we must
call the fact that there is a huge organized eff
fort in their interests. We must call upon these
workers to rally and support the program of this
organized effort" namely the Party Through
the election campaign We can concretize organ
nationally some of the work that has been start
ed. Through the election campaign the Party
can come in contact with thousands of workers
that we are at this time unable to approach
directly Through the election campaign The
program of the Party must be popularized to an
extent where we can recruit new forces into the
Party. And through a successful election cam
paign the prestige of the Party grows in the
eyes of the workers and they are ever ready
to follow the leadership Of the Party in newer
struggles.
All Party Members Out!
What must be done to defeat these tendencies
of underestimation and to impress upon, these
comrades the necessity of the success Of the
election campaign? Discussions must take place
IN all Party and League unit meetings on the
election campaign and its significance. Those
comrades that are backward must be drawn into
these discussions and wherever possible be as
signed to lead in these discussions. These COM
rades must through such discussions be made
aware of the necessity of coming out on the days
assigned to them and collect signatures. The
comrades who are active in the fraternal Or
carnations must bring up this question at their
meetings, and draw the majority Of the members
If these organizations into the work Of collect
ing signatures.
All forces available must be drawn into this
work, so that within time set it viii be possible
to file the required amount Of signatures put the
Party on the ballot and thereby lay the basis
for successful election campaign.
