that ION principle" they were for the
cash bonus.
Mellon said in his testimony and
statement before the Senate Finance
Committee that at no time, except
during the war. was such demand
for government funds made. Mellon
admitted that the bosses could easily
get as many billions as they needed
to plunge the workers into war. Now
that those who we're forced to fight
for the capitalists face starvation and
demand relief, Mellon says the gov
eminent faces all sorts Of dangers
If it lifts its finger to keep the un-
employed from starving.
The attitude towards the veterans

the whole policy of the bosses to-
wards the unemployed workers. Bill
lions are now spent for war prepara-
tons; billions given to the bosses in
tax returns; the bosses profits,
through their big corporations keep

demand relief, the whole machinery
of the capitalist government is set

chosen, the capitalist representatives.

class, half of which faces outright
starvation, to force the bosses gov

posture of the non-partisan scheme of
elections had its effect on the CAPT.
taliSt politicians, who, through this
fake scheme are trying to hide the
class nature of the political parties
and the government as whole.
Two labor takers. Alderman Oscar
Nelson, Thompson floor leader and
vice-president of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, and Alderman Bowler
of the 25th ward, leader of the street
can mems union, were especially in
strumental in these attacks against
the Communist candidates, because
the Party exposed the fascist rule of
the A. F. of L. bureaucrats pretty
clearly from the very beginning.
The Communist Party will put up
fight to prevent the bosses from
throwing out its candidates. because
in all instances there were plenty
signatures secured and all objections
by the board can be easily repudi-
ated. At the same time, without hav-
ing any illusions in the legal pro-
cedure, the Party appeals to all the
workers through leaflets and mass
meetings to organize and protest
aaginst all these attacks, to organize
the Vote Communist Clubs in their
wards, and no matter what the de-
cision of the Thompson Nelson Ca
pone clique may be, fight must be
conducted and the masses of workers
modified to secure over $4,000 sig
natures for our candidates for mayor,
city treasurer, and city clerk.

Cox made it plain that he was

Crisis Grows
II & g b & r Q N
Latin AmeylCQ

The economic crisis in FL Salvador,
Guatemala, and Honduras, is acute.
Coffee is a major industry in Qua
temala and Honduras. The market
prices of December, 1929, already so
per cent lower than before, dropped
20 per cent still lower in the course
Of the year. In Honduras, which de-
ponds just as much on the banana
production, the United Fruit Co. has
cut the wages more than so per cent,
and more than so per cent of the
population is unemployed. The gov
eminent Of Mejia Colindres, to retain
the support of the United Fruit Co.
and the imperialism it represents, is
converting the banana fields into
military camps and by order of the
Yankee government officials, is send
ing part Of the army to the Hon
duran frontier to help "pacify" Mica
ragua.
The Indian population in these
countries exceeds the combined pop
ulation of all the other races. The
system to which they are subjected
is completely feudaI.
The working day is from IA to 1S
hours, and the wage is from two to
two and half cents a day. Their
accounts are kept in little books and
their buying power is limited to the
amount credited them by their
bosses. Last year they were threat
ened with wage cut and thousands
abandoned the farms.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. The
bourgeois dailies are complaining
that ragged women and children
come into aristocratic neighborhoods
to beg. 1.-THE Manana," a capitalist
paper, has asked the police to assist
in Kidding these sections of such "un-
sightliness." 1t does not matter that
the number of unemployed increases
by leaps and bounds, and that con-
sequently people are reduced to beg
ging. What matters to these full
bellied bourgeoisie is that they are
annoyed by the unaesthetic aspect of
the faces of the hungry. The tour
lists, with their luxuries and snobbish-
ness add insult to injury. The bour-
geoisie offers no solution to the COM
mon misery.
