the auspices of the Finnish Club

with an atmosphere of a violent
bourgeois race prejudices, and were
actually threatened with election by
a group Of rowdies. In the course of
the investigation of this disgusting
affair Conlrade Yokinen, Party
conlrade and member of the club,
expressed the rankest white chauYin-

pressed "fears" that if Negroes were
to be allowed to come into the pool
room, they would soon come into the
bathrooms and that he, for one, did
not wish to battle with Negroes.
In view of the fact that this is
but one of a whole series of similar
chauvinist incidents occurring in the
recent period, especially in the mass
organizations and among individual
members of the Party fraction of
these organizations, the Dist. Buro
has decided:

STARVATION PROGRAM
300 Prepare to March
On Albany; Meeting
On Wednesday

NEW YORK. - Preparations are
rapidly going through to completion
for the hunger march of 300 jobless
workers to Albany, the state capitol,
to demand Immediately unemploy-
ment relief, and to further the fight
for the unemployment insurance bill.
The march begins on Thursday, Feb.
10th. A huge mass meeting will be
called for Wednesday, February ID,
to give these hunger marchers an
enthusiastic send-off.
The 300 hunger nlarchers will pass
through Yonkers, Hudson, Peekskill,
Poughkeepsie, Beacon, utchess Coun-
ty, Newbrrgh, Tarrytown, Troy and
Schenectady. Unemployed Councils
have been organized all along the
route, and they will send delegations
to take part in the march. Demon
STATIONS and mass meetings will
greet the marchers on their way to
Albany.
Despite the fascist terror that has
been shown against the unemployed
in Yonkers, Newburgh, Tarrytown
and other cities, the marchers will go
through with their meetings and
stimulate the mobilization of Unem-
ployed Councils.
Food for the march, as well as
other preparations, is being provided
by the Workers International Relief.
Tag days were arranged for Febru-
airy 14th and 18th to collect the
necessary funds for, the march.
Funds are still needed, if the work
ers on the march are not to suffer
hardships. Every worker must con-
tribute. This march will rally trem-
endous support for the growing fight
for immediate unemployment relief
and unemployment insurance.
Make your contributions im1nedi-
ately. Send it today to the Work
ers Center, so E. 18th Street, marked
for the Hunger March. There can
be no delay. Plans are all made.
The 300 workers begin their march
Thursday, and every worker should
do his part by aiding in donating
for the expenses.

Act On Red Shock Lists;

The drive for the 100000 Emer-

the returns of the Red Shock Troop
lists All organizations or individual
workers who have not yet turned in
money collected for the Daily Work
er should forward this Immediately.
Within the next few days we will
publish the actual results of the cam
paign. These will show the income
by districts and what percentage of
the quota was reached by each dis
trict.
The circulation Of the Daily Work
er is increasing by leaps and bounds.
The workers are building up Red
Builders Clubs and developing the
means Of getting the Daily Worker
to the workers in the shops, factories,
on the streets, in the workers or
CARNATIONS and in their homes.
The contents of the Daily Worker
has showed marked improvement. In
word the Daily is on the road of
building real mass circulation. The
workers now have their real daily
weapon with which to prepare, mob
ilize and organize the workers for
their struggles against the bosses.
However, it is not sufficient. We
have pointed out the serious draw
back, the actual danger to the Daily
Worker is the deficit which cannot

u. s. OIL MEN SEE
5-YR PLAN SUCCESS

NEW YORK.-Further admission
of the success of the Five-Year Plan
is made by American oil men, accord
ing to j. D. Tompkins who, in an
article in the boss press, expresses
the changed viewpoint of the big oil
interests as follows:
"Cntil few months ago oil men
were inclined to disparage the sug-
gestion that Russia might upset
world sterilization of oil supplies
and markets outside of the United
States. Today this viewpoint has
changed. The realization is grow
ing that Russia must be considered
as most decidedly part--a large
part--of the world picture"

onstration, a gang of Tammany
grafters. The "impartiality" of capt.
talist justice is attested by the fact
that the three workers are being tried
by the same judges for whose denun-
citation they were attacked and ar
rested on Oct. 16.
The New York District Of the IN
ternational Labor Defense, which is
handling the case, has adopted a
resolution in the name of its $4,000
members declaring their solidarity
with the three defendants, demand
ing their immediate, unconditional
release and pledging their support in
the fight, to defend all workers who
are prosecuted for their militant ac-
tivity. This resolution has been sent
to Mayor Walker and the Special
Sessions Court.

with attorneys, will conduct their

ADMIT $4,000 IN
TEXAS DESTITUTE
Wants Workers to Pay;
Conceals Huge Fund
for Emergencies"

Further proof that the employing
class in the United States is using
the misery of the 100000 jobless
to put through its war-making and
wage-cutting program is seen in the
refused OF the Red Cross to use its
100000 fund for immediate relief.
The Red Cross has been given charge
of whatever crumbs of relief the ma
tional government chooses to grant
the starving. This alone is a war
move, for the Red Cross is primarily
part of the war machinery in every
nation, U. S. not excepted.
The Red Cross admits in various
localities that there are masses of
hungry and destitute-as, for in
stance, in half-page advertisement
in Texas papers, it states there are
$4,000 Texans destitute" and that
"650,0O0 people in 81 states are de-
pendent on the Red Cross for food,
clothing and medical attention"
To Starve Them.
But it is part of the game to feed
only few of the swarm of starving
jobless, and not to feed them much.
Bread lines are being cut down
everywhere, and arranged so that
only one sandwich day goes to the
hungry. The plot is to starve these
unemployed workers good and plenty,
even though it kills some of them,
norder to make scabs of them, and
to make soldiers of them in the COM
ing war. The idea is that actually
starving men, with the cries Of their
hungry wives and children in their
ears, will welcome work at a wage
cut and welcome the chance to get
into the army and fight their fellow
workers in other countries.
Further proof of this is contained
in an article in the Nation" a
weekly magazine committed to "lib-
erap' not revolutionary policies.
The Nation declares that an in
spection of the Red Cross accounts
shows they have $44,00O,0O0 on hand
in an emergency fund" They are
not spending this for the jobless, in
stead they are making drive to
force the low paid workers who still
have jobs to dig up what funds are
to be used for the unemployed-they
want merely to spread starvation, not
relieve it. When the editors of the
Nation asked Payne, director of the
Red Cross, what he considered an
emergency" durin (Which he would
| spend the millions of dollars he has
on hand, he tried to deny having the
money. Only presentation of pub
lished figures by Mr.. McClintock,
vice-chairman of the Red Cross, in
charge of finance, drove him under
cover. 1t did not loosen up any Of
the $44,OoO,0oo.

food that millions need to save their
lives now. All the demonstrations
