Take this recipe for instance. To make yum yums take 6 quarts fairly large and ripe cucumbers. Wash and slice but do not peel Add one quart onions sliced and four large green peppers cut fine. Let these stand in brine, one cup salt to nine cups water for three hours. Drain. Add three pints vinegar, three pounds sugar, one tablespoon turmeric, one teaspoon white mustard seed, one teaspoon celery seed. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Pour at once into clean jars and seal.
 A larger proportion of onions may be used and cassia buds, one teaspoon may be added. Bear in mind that the whole mixture is not boiled. It is merely heated through. This gives the relish a fresh taste and keeps the cucum- bers from getting slippery and mushy.

|SCOTTSBORO MOTHER SCORES
TRAITOROUS NAACP LEADERS

Mrs. Montgomery told the audience
of having overheard a conversation
on a bus in North Carolina between
two prosperous looking white men in
which they were bemoaning the fact
that the Alabama authorities had de-
layed the lynching of the nine boys
long enough for the Reds to raise
hell over it, She added that if the
Reds are raising hell, she wishes
them to raise enough hell to free the
Scottsboro boys and to end the hell
of tenant farm slavery for Negroes in
the South.
On account of the activities of local
NAACP leaders, Mrs. Montgomery
was denied the right to speak Ll be-
half of the boys at two of the largest
Negro churches in the city. In one
church where she was permitted to
make her appeal. the pastor attacked
the lid but in spite of this the con-
gregation went over his head and
gave her a large collection. She
pointed out these facts at the meeting
and called upon the Negro workers
to rally over the heads of the mis-
leaders to the mass fight which alone
can free the boys. She clearly pointed
out that the fight to smash the
Scottsboro frame-up and legal lynch
ing must be aimed at the entire vici-
Gus system under which Negro work
ers are enslaved and terrorized in the
South. Unless this is done, she point
ed out, other Negro mothers will be
forced to see their children wrested
from them and rushed to the electric
chair on the flimsiest frame-up eX-
cuses.

the need for struggle against the
impending wage cuts.
The example of the so per cent
wage cut put over the Rocky Mt.
Fuel Co. minrs by the U.M.W,A. Of
ficials to aid the coal operators in
their rate competition with the un-
organized Rockefeller mines was
used by the AFF.F.H.W. misleaders
at the convention, Foster said.
The checkoff to be instituted in
the organized union mills is an at
tempt of the employers and the A.
FFFH.W. officials to tie the yoke OF
the company union tighter about the
workers. The same thing is occurring
in other industries, in coal, railroads,
ETC., where the American Federation
of Labor bureaucrats feel the base
Of their company unionized organ
izations slipping.
The arbitration clause that the
hosiery nisleaders are seeking to in
corporate in the agreement is an
other method of cutting wages, as
was shown recently when DR.. Abel
son, the arbitrator, ordered the re-
duction Of wages by Is per cent of

gers.

pare for stiff resistance to the en-
ployers and the A.F.FF.H.W. bureau

action the workers were to take. To
defeat the scheme at the convention,
or by referendum should Rieve

the shops. To meet the free offensive
OF the employers it was necessary to
set up committees of action in all
shops to organize for general strike
in the industry.
Declaring that the NATIONAL Tex
tile Workers Union was ready to
make ready to make a united front
with the hosiery workers and to lend
them every assistance in their strug-
gle against wage cuts, Foster called
for the building of the N.T.WU.
Foster told that when the AFFF.

sibly to organize a strike there, they
were publicly negotiating for wage
cuts in the unionized mills in Phila-
delphia.

1t also reported that They were met
by bands of armed vigilantes-pro-
fezsional and business men-to whom
the government dealt out arms when
they expressed their willingness to
die rather than permit the setting
up of a Communist government"
Thus far the capitalist papers in
this country have printed no Off
cial declarations from Washington
or Wall Street, but there is little
doubt that the American imperialist
navy has dispatched or will dispatch
large forces to Chilean waters to help
the borgeoisie of Chile drown the
revolution in sea of blood in the
event they are not able to do so
alone.
1t is clearly evident that the capi-
talist newspapers are trying to dis
tort the facts, printing confusing and
contradicting statements. For ex-
ample, one of the cables said that
most of the Communist agitators
were foreigners, and that these same
foreigners were agitating for the
expulsion of foreigners. The fact of
the matter is that the Chilean Com
munist Party, though small, is rooted
in the Chilean proletariat. The agi-
tation is not for the expulsion of
foreigners but for the wiping out OF
foreign imperialism-that is, mainly
British and American imperialism
who have squeezed profits for gen.
erations out of the workers and peas
andts and who now dominate the life
of Chile along with the Chilean
bourgeoisie.
The United Press reports that the
American capitalists are concerned
about the revolution because they
know that the masses are suffering
from hunger with unemployment af-
fecting a large proportion of the
workers.

believes that his country Is In dan
ger and he is saving it. In the
critical hour Ramsay Mac Donald
proved to be an EngIishman first
and a Socialist second"
In short, If Ramsay Macdonald
were not erroneous in his belief that
British capitalism was about to COL
lapse, Hillquit argues, he would be
justified in his action.
At the same time, the petty-bour-
geois legal light of American Social
ism tries to hide MacDonald's role,
not as an "Englishman" but as a
tool of British capitalism. 1t is not
that Macdonald proved "to be an
Englishman first" but a supporter OF
capitalism first. This fact Hillquit
does not want the workers to know.
1t is always the cry of the Socialists,
as in Germany in 1914-191s, and
during the period of the Young Plan
yoke, that they were protecting the
national interests, thereby hiding
their role of protecting the capitalist
interests in their respective coun-
tries against the workingclass.
Hillquit is forced to the defense
that there are in reality two kinds
Of Socialists, that is, the Macdonald
kind, and the Hillquit kind. Mac
Donald has openly betrayed the
workers and must be discarded, while
Hillquit proposes to keep UP illusions
to mislead the workers.

PREPARE ATTACK
CHINESE MASSES

The desolation brought by the
floods and the typhoon is reported
to have resulted in temporary ces-
sation of struggle among the various
imperialist agents in order to smash
the growing revolutionary spirit
among the masses Of the Chinese
workers and peasants in the striken
areas. The New York Times cores
pondent announces on August 81
that while the Sino-Japanese strug-
giles and the conflict between the
Nationalist and Canton governments
have stopped temporarily as a result
of the desolation the activity OF the
Communists continues. The Times
correspondent writes:
However, as Marking government
leaders foresaw early this month, a
new domestic problem of the gravest
political-and possibly military-im-
plication is growing out of the floods,
for Communist agitators are already

"They are taking advantage of the
destitution, starvation and other
woes of the millions of flood suffer-
ers to spread the doctrine of discon-
tent, which, as conditions grow worse
will almost certainly incite riots, vio-
lence and widespread upheavals.'
The new domestic" problem OF
the Nanking government is the rising
militancy of the workers and peas
ants against the imperialists and
their agents in the government. The
Communists are organizing the mass
es against the oppression of the
butcher government. The Times cor
respondent calls the cessation of hos
tilities among the various factions

only that the agents of the imperial
lists realize that the masses are In
a mood for struggle as the result Of
these natural calamities and the
imperialists are determined to add
further mass slaughter Of the mill
tant workers and peasants to the
deaths caused by the floods.

The local leaders Of the NAACP

Time and again Mrs. Montgomery
emphasized the treacherous role the
NAACP leadership has played in try
ing to hamstring the defense Of the
nine innocent Negro boys, eight of
whom have been sentenced to burn

frame-up charge. Mrs. Montgomery
declared that none of the boys or
their parents would have anything to
do with the NAACP misleaders. She
especially condemned the efforts of
these traitors to confuse and coerce
the boys into accepting Stephen R.

boss court to railroad the boys in the
original trial" She declared that
this fact alone would have been proof
of the insincerity of the NAACP. She
blasted the lies of William Pickens
about "the ignorance of the parents
of the boys" and about their having
been kidnapped, corralled and fenced
around by the Communists" She de-
manded the right of the parents to

MACDONALD IS
HONEST" " SAY

Hillquit and Thomas
Want Workers To
Forget Betrayal

NEW YORK.-The national gov
Tnment headed by Macdonald is
Sohdifying its plan of attack against
the workers by handing over the
most important positions to the most
reactionary conservatives. The New
York Times tells of the appointment
of Lord Reading to the position Of
minister Of foreign affairs.
Lord Reading is one of the richest
exploiters in England. HE has in
terests in the City of London (that
is, London's Wall Street, and the
City is far more concerned now in
safeguarding sterling British money
than in Continental politics. Thus,
Lord Reading will use all his power
to protect" sterling and his large
share in it, strengthening the forces
Of British imperialism for attack
against the British workers and
against the Soviet Union.
A defense of Socialist action and
the motive of Socialists who become
the open lackeys of imperialism is
the main concern of the American
Socialists, as shown by the attempts
OF Morris Hillquit and Rev. Norman
Thomas, to cover up the deeds of
Macdonald in various articles in the
current issue of the Socialist organ,
the New Leader. '5l--
1t is significant that both these
Socialists who claim to differ on
how to attack the Soviet Union,
reach unanimous viewpoint in the
defense of Ramsay Macdonald and
the British Socialists"
"I do not think he (MacDonald)
can be accused as renegade or a
conscious traitor" writes Thomas.
"He meant well. -"
Then Thomas goes on to a defense
of Socialist action, praising the pre-
sent Labor Party opposition. At the
same time he reveals why he is so
hard set defending the Socialist"
leaders of Britain. "The appeal of
Russia is that it is actually getting
things done along new lines" And
to keep the workers from following
the action of the Russian Revolution,
he appeals to the workers to stick
behind the betrayers, as revolution is
terrible price" But Thomaz
thinks that when the Socialist lead,
ers aided the imperialists to drive
100000 workers to their slaughter,
and then after the World War helped
the capitalists drown revolutionary
uprisings in sea of workers blood,
that this is not terrible price" for
the preservation of capitalism.
Hillquit defends the action of the
Labor Party throughout its history
pf attacks against the workers. And
particularly he tries to absolve Mac
Donald. He writes: ~.,.
"Yet, ] do not believe that he
(MacDonald) was actuated by mo-
tives Of personal interest or am
bition in sticking to his office
THAT was Hillquit's defense when
he took 100000 from Czarist oil
barnos to attack the Soviet Union
--he said 1t was not inconsistent
with Socialist action.) 81 think he
