CITY bonds, with nearly s63, 900 900 for
police, and other big sums for ar
uories, etc. They allowed only
S1l 100000 for the unemployed. Later
thew proposed $40 100000. That would
be $40 for each jobless family through
the year.
The Republicaps did not make any
proposal but their Mr. Hoover made
a speech on Oct. 49, in which he
called unemployment "a passing ir-
cident' and said that those actually
destitute were a very minor per-
entag Of our people" So if they had
spoken at the board Of estimates
hearing they wouldn't have asked for
much. Hoover is AGAINST any p''s.Iic
funds being used at all.
The Socialist party proposes $25.-
100000 As a speaker at a recent
open forum says, Even reactio7ary
workers this year recognizes shat
the differenle between Tammany and
the Socialist Party is only 20 per
cent"
The Communist delegation at the
board OF estimates placed demands
for S2o0,000,000 for immediate winter
relief. which is little enough, Just
about the amount Tammany offers
the bankers, but is at least something
worth firhting for. Furthermore, the
Communist Party leads the tight

and fuel. for food for school ishil-
dren and fee shoes and cloa Ing,
against every form Of forced Is Dor
against that form of wage-cut which
is carried out by taxing worke's for
unemployment relief. The Conmu-
mist Party PROPOSES that these relief
measures shall be paid for by the
money slated TO go to bankers and
police force and graft, also BY tax
on large incomes if necessary.

THE SOCIALIST" THOMAS, PRAISES
DEPORTATION DOAK

cialists like Morris Hillrlrit, ard also
Norman Thomas, have found reason
in the past for commanding" Al
Smith, Governor Roosevelt and other
Tamnany Fall democratic leaders.
Now the Socialist, Thomas, through
his American Civil Liberties Union,
while he is seeking to win working
class support for the Socialist Party
in today's elections, commends the
murderous Hoover-Dcak deportation
tyranny that even the Wickersham
Commission severely denounced as
another method of creating illusions
for labor, to quiet its protest and
hide the fascist character OF Wall
Streets government.
Norman Thomas and the Civil
Liberties Union give the best support
to the Hoover-Doak regime by trying
to create the illusion that there has
been some change of policy" in
this phase of the governments attack
upon the working class, at the very
moment when the federal govern
ment is openly using the deportation
weapon to Jail the leaders and smash
the militant strike struggles of the
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, textile
workers. Norman Thomas thus gives
valiant support to the bosses.
Against the candidates. Of Norman
Thomas, the Socialist, and the re-
publican and Tammany Hall candi-
dates, the Communist Party puts
forward it's candidate, I-rael Anter,
one of the leaders of the March Sixth
Unemployed Delegation that went to
prison for six months under sem
tence imposed by Tammany, Hall
judges.
For the great masses Of foreign
born and native born workers in the
Borough of Manhattan there can be
no choice between the Tammany Hall
Democratic Party, the Republican
and the Socialist Parties. In the
present period of wage cuts, mass I'M
employment. growing hunger, they
unite closer than ever for resistance
to labor's militant struggles. They
are all the instruments of the tyran-
ny and oppression of the boss class.
Only the Communict Party fi2hts
in the interests of the workers. The
Communist Party supports every
struggle of the National Councils for
the Protection of the Foreign Eorn
ard of the International Labor De-
Tense, fer the 'riJht of political esy-
lurn, for the RIGHT of rcfuge in this
country for the oppressed of other
ices class lands.
Although the Civil Liberties Union
Of Norman Thor-cs claims to have a
demand fer roliticcl asylum before
congress, it Goes not even mention
this demand in its commentator Of
Doak.
Open struggles against the Hoover
Doak deportation regime means the
cxpoeure and liquidation of all illu-
sioas that the social-fasc.sts, that
the Norman Thomases seek to create
about the fairness" the more lib
eral policies" of the Hoover Hunger
Government.
All foreign-born. all native-born,
Negroes and white workers, who
realize their own class interests will

TIE r"ca,e trades workers will
-uprort tie party of their c'ass in
the conin~ elections. The election
campaign in 1881 is bound M with
living issues involving the life and
interests of the worls'ng-class as
never before. AS part of the advanced
section of the workirg-c'nss Of this
country the needle trades workers
are showing live interest in the
present election campaign.
The direct experiences Of the needle
trads works. in the struogle during
recent years has convinced even the
most backward workers that in the
present phase of the class struggle it
is impossible for any workers to carry
on a pure economic struggle. The
mass arrests, the persecution of
strike pickets, the attempt to convert
the so-called drive against rackete-
ering into drive against militant
workers, shows clearly to the workers
that the state machinery is used by
the bosses as a very effective weap-
on in the struggle against the
workers.
Perhaps IN the needle trades
this hes been more gla-ingly demon
strated than In many another in
dustry. In the foke strike of the
cloakmakers In 1929 conducted under
the leadership of the Schlessinger
co-'rNnv union. Mayor Walker, Gov
ernor Roosevelt and other Tammany
politicians have played an important
role in selling out the conditions Of
the workers. Thec,oaBmakers who
TODAY are compelled to work under
much lower standards, piece work,
speed up, long hours for miserable
wages, are learning to understand
hat this sellout was engineered ard
----''>d th-n"-h by the holy trinity
Of the bosses, the ye"~w socialist
- 'cssinger gang, and Tammany

Similar were the experiences Of the
rs c,o.hin~ workers in the recent

result Of this a~-eernent trsi- v'"~ee

for the price of this sellout and to
fill the pockets OF the underworld
which is supported and maintained
with the help of the yellow Socialist
Party.

needle trades workers through a
united front of all the workers in the
fur trade now spreading out to the

branches Of the needle industry, IS

is conducted on more than usually

which shows itself in series Of graft

But there is something at stake in

~any u~io~s aid their Tammany and
7epubl'can politicians.
In this new offensive which has
already BROUGHT concrete improve
merits in the conditions of the fur
workers as well as in some Of the
other branches of the trade, the
workers have seen that only the
Communist Party, through Its mem
hership, its press and the revolu-
+'onary organization has enthusiast
tically supported their struggle.
The concrete facts of life have
broken down the poisonous prop
sganda spread by the Forward and
the yellow socialists against the
Communist Party. The revolt Of the
needle trades workers against the
bosses and the company union agents
must and will find expression on the
political field through support OF the
Communist Party, which today is the
only political party in this cou-t-y
that is backing the struggle OF the
needle workers against waTe-ccts and
Leading the struo~le of the unem-
ployed workers for Unemployment
Insurance from the bosses and their
government.
The outight betrayal of the Mac
Donald government of the workers
has also served to turn the needle
trades workers who for many years
have supported the socialists, away
from the Socialist Party.
The present election cam
paign finds the needle trades workers
not only FIGHTING in their shors TO;
better conditions. under the leader
ship OF the United F-o-t and the
Industrial Union, but finds them
carving on an active part in the
election campaign. The huTe. mass
demonstrations held this week in the

enthusiasm with which the candi-
1ates Of Tire Communist Party are
r-eeted by these workers. the ea~er-

of the fact that'n this com'ng e'ec-
ton IRE needle trades workers, Just

Capitalism Kills WORKERS

BY S. VAN yEEN

The child health fake conference
that was called many months ago by
the Washington government stated at
that time that ten million children
in the United States are undornour-
ished. Let no one mistake the mean
ing of that term. Undernourished
means underfed; it means starvation.
Since that time the number of
starving children has increaeed. The
latest figures are 100000 and the
winter has not yet begun. At the
same time there are 3,34S000 chill
dren between the ages Of seven and
seventeen at work These millions Of
children are working long hours for
less wages than it takes to keep
child alive. They are working in all
industries, canning, mining, textile,
leather and farming. The majority
of the children of the working class
never get beyond the fifth grade of
public school and tens of thousands
never go to school at all.
The United States is the richest
country in the world New York City
is the city of billionaires, the city of
fabulous wealth. And yet the U. S.
government presents the staggering
picture of millions of sick and starry
ing children and millions of children
half-starved and working in the in
dustries of this~c country. The blood
and life force of hits army of chill
dren is minted into golden profits by
the greedy bosses and bankers and
the murderous capitalist system.
