Graft and Gangsters
Grafters and Fascism
BY HARRY CANNES

The last article told of graft in Washington,
showing how the Hoover administration grew
out of the Harding graft regime and still car
ries the old traditions Previous articles
dealt with graft and gangsterism in New York,
CChicago, Detroit and Philadelphia.
ONCE in great while one of the more indis-
Greet gangstes or grating politicians is forced
to serve short time for his n1isdeeds-not be-
cause he grated, but because he didn't abide by
the rules. Often, too, when gangster double
crosses his big chief he is framed-up (this is
always easy and made to pay for his errors
1t is these cases that the capitalist reformers
hold up as "proofs" of their winning battle
against crime and graft
But there is a more serious result of the CAM
paign against" the growing gansterism and
graft The capitalists use it as weapon against
the foreign born workers. The capitalist papers,
to hide the real connections of the underworld,
pick out some of the tools of the gang chiefs
who happen TO be foreign-born and preach long
sermons about the necessity for strengthening
the deportation laws. 1t is not even these GRIM
inals they are after The whole force of the de-
portaton laws, worked-up on popular sentiment
against the terrorism OF the gangsters, Is di-
rected against the militant foreign-born work
ers who organize with the American workers

italist government machinery and is inseparable
from it.
After the stock market crash of 1929, the eco
nomic crisis which hit all basic industries threw
100000 workers out of employment, had its
effects on the bootlegging and grating business.
1t narrowed teh available graft and profits for
murders vote stealing, and other services of the
gunner. This resulted in a struggle for divi-
sion of the spos, sharpening the warfare be-
tween the remaining big gangs and capitalist
politicians. Particularly is this shown in many
features of the city elections in Detroit, when
Mayor Murphy was elected after gang killing;
we see it in New York, in the pickering between
the Smith-Roosevelt faction and the Walker out
fit in the New York Tammany grating machine;
in the Chicago city elections of 1881, following
the degenerted primaries when Mayor Thompson
and Judge Lyle openly charged each other with
being representatives of gangsters and grafters
Thompsons history is too well known to need
further proof to substantiate these charges.
Judge Lyle was the Chicago Tribune's tool enc
my OF the unemployed workers, and spokesman
for every gangster in Chicago who resented Ca
pones virtual monopoly of bootlegging, murder
ing and police protection.
Preserve Robbery System.
The gangsters are Interested In the preserva-
ton of capitalism, its system of exploitation,
robbery and graft They side with the capitalists
on every phase of the struggle against the work
ers. They are part of the capitalist government
and only with its end will they be destroyed.
AS the struggle of the workers against in
creasing unemployment, speed-up, against the
lowering Of their standard of living grows sharp
er the capitalists begin TO use more fascist tao
tics-that is open and brutal dictatorial methods
in attempting to suppress the workers The
criminal syndicalist laws are used more fire.

SPIES and Traitors

The Communist Party of the U.S.A warns all
workers and workers organizations against the
following spies and traitors:

testified against arrested comrades; is now oper-
ating as member of the Red Squad" of the

Donald Mataharu Inouye, San Francisco, Cal;
Japanese; printer by trade; joined the Party in
1929 under false pretenses; is now expelled and
exposed as scoundrel and a traitor, who tried
to blackmail the parents Of an arrested comrade
by threatening to give information to the gov
eminent.

ers who organize against wage-cuts speed-up,
for unemployment insurance and for a revolu-
tionary fight against capitalism and all its rot
tenness In Germany the Fascists have already
given an example of the role the American
gangster will play as the class struggle grows
sharper The murder of Ernst Henning, Com
munist member of the Hamburg City Council
by three Fascist gunner in lonely bus, in
March, 1881, was in the fully approved style of
Capone and Legs Diamond. In organizing
their fascist hordes against the workers, the
capitalists will use as their storm troops the
whole tribe of gunner, dope -peddlers and gang
sters in the United States They will be inval-
able allies for the bosses in preserving capital
ism, and its whole system of graft and Doodle;
their experience in terrorism will be fully used
by the rich against the workers. 1t will be a
labor of love for the gangstsrs They, in full
sympathy with their capitalist hackers, do not
want capitalism destroyed, as it will end their
basis for existence.
We have already shown how the crisis inten-
sites the terror against the workers and what
function the gangsters play at this period. 1t Is
not their friends, the garlgsters whom the CAPT
talists are interested in falling or deporting but
it is the revolutionary workers who lead the
struggle for unemployment relief against wage
cuts and against capitalism with all its rotten

of them are trying to show to their masters
that tn ey are the job. Mozer through his
Pennsylvania Labor Herald is trying to prove
to Trezler- Young that his heart is Il there, by
FASTING the Communist danger all over his sheet
in every issue. Mertz and his Lchigh Valley
Review is trying to get more favors from Pin
chot, who claims to be a lover of the workers
by increasing his circulation of 'Lehigh Valley
Review, which gives him better chance to fool
the workers and since he knows that the Com
munist scare does not go over so big any more
SO he lays low on it in which case he is putting}
it over Mozer, who is too stupid to realze
it yet.
Thus the strike has brought out the fact that
the Lehigh Valley Review which the strikers
read and thought the best paper, it with
the silk manufacturers because it supports their
strike breaking statement of June g. And all
ready they staged demonstration in front Of
the Review Office The next fact which is
driven home to the strikers very sharply is that
when the organizer of the NTWU. was forcibly
kept out of mass meetings. Sheriff Kelow, who
is now running for Mayor spoke t a strikers
meeting and assured the strikers that he is with
I them, and only a few days later he called the
Pinchot's State troopers to break up a militant
mass picket line in Eamus. Again showing that
Mozer's Sheriff Kelow and Mertz's Pincrot
police unite when it comes to strike breaking.
Another fact which Mozer can't blame on the
Communists is the fact that strikers were arr
rested and fined from $40 to $25 or Jail sem
fences for peaceful pcketing" It's no use,
Mozer and CO.. the strikers were there and saw
it themselves.
AS a result of this strike and the actions Of
both Lehigh Valley Review and the Labor Herald
the strikers should themselves realize that they
can not depend ON either capitalist sheet
whether it is Independent or Labor The only
press the workers can depend on is the Daily
Worker, the Trade Union Unity League and the
Labor Unity. These papers are your papers.

THE strike of 1000 silk workers in Allentown
L has brought to the surface many facts which
existed before but we're not outstanding as
at present The Lehigh Valley Review is a
weekly paper run by the Pinchot representative
in Allentown Mr.. Mertz, and because it picks
at mere scandals than any other sheet and ex-
poses corruption in the rival camp it has a cir
culation many thousands. Of course the Re
view never exposes the corruption in Its own
machine such as the almost feudal control OF
Bethlehem by Schwab and Grace through
Mayor Pfeifle when the Review boasts of sup
porting as follows on May 80. s N
"The Review championed Pfeifle's candidacy
for the mayoralty of Bethlehem on the platform
that he would make Bethlehem a clean and
progressive city, would keep down the tax rate,
and would enforce all city ordinances. Mayor
Pfeifle has made good job of it during only
one-fourth Of his regime and thus far has
proved to be the best chief executive Bethle-
hem has ever had"
Yes, he has proved to be the best chief ex-
ecutive Schwab has ever had! Under his regime
not single workers gathering was permitted
and where permit was granted the police de-
partment spread the word all over Bethlehem
that the meeting would be raided and in this
way kept the workers away When a group OF
| unemployed workers called, a meeting in a prl--
vate house to take UP ways and mems of get
ting some relief from starvation, Mayor Pfefle's
| police made sure to be at the door and turned
| every one away under threat of arrest But
even this not keeping Bethlehem clean
enough so when two workers whose looks the
| police might not have liked walked down the
street of Bethlehem they arrested them without
a warrant and charged them with sedition be-
cause they had the Daily Worker on them.
When the strike broke out in Allentown, Mertz
became a friend" of the strikers and began
to expose the U.T.W. officials because Mozer,
the Secretary of the Central Labor Union of
Allentown belongs to the gang that now con-
trolls the city administration which happens to
be the Trexler-Young gang. 1t is due to this
fact that Mertz agreed to publish statement
against the U.T.W. traitors by the organizer OF
the National Textile Workers Union, which at
the same time exposed the "stabilzation' bunk
as well as effects of arbitration on the workers
