shorter work-day, but that also
means in their language shorter
wages. They speed up the workers
mercilessly work 100000 children in
the factories and on the farms of
the country-and then come forward
with their bunk of returning pros

They cut wages--and have the as

Amalgamated, who made away with
$4,000; SchIesinger of the Interna~

socialist" racketeer of that organiza-
ton; Joseph Ryan, president Of the
Trades and Labor Assembly and Of
the International Longshoremen's
Association, who in league with the
bosses cut the wages of the long
shoremen 10 per cent; the leaders Of
the building trades who kick out OF
the union the unemployed who cam
not pay dues, who take graft from
the building trades contractors, while
the wages of the workers sink to the
bottom-these people, socialists,
Democratic and Republican, show
where they stand on this question.
Only the Communist Party puts up a
fight against the wage cuts and
speed-up, for the 7-hour day with no
reduction in pay, for organization
and strike, And for this reason the
workers of New York will Vote Com
munist on election day, and continue
the fight under Communist leader

| The bosses are using terror to d.
vide the working class. More police
to smash the growing revolt of the
unemployed and the fights Of the
workers on the picket line. Eight hun
bred more police last year, 1000 more
this year. The national guard held in
readiness, Governors Island fort and
its troops to be held in readiness IN
case Of domestic troubles" as Hoo
yer put it. Injunctions, gangsters,
thugs, detectives, labor spies, frame
ups, terror against the foreign born
with the threat of deportation, ter
rOr and open discrimination against
the Negro workers with open threats
of Iynching. The white and Negro
leaders of the Negro organizations
National Association for the Ad-
yancement of Colored People, the
Universal Negro Improvement Asso-
citation, the Urban League, Better
Business League-are trying to ter
rorize and mislead the Negro workers,
in order to separate them fom the
white workers. The Communist Party
fights for the unity of the working
class, native and foreign born, white
and Negro, young and adult, men and
women-one united working class,
employed and unemployed. fighting
for the interest of the working class
against the bosses, their government
and their tools in the ranks OF Ia
Dor. And in support of this growing
unity, the workers of New York are
supporting the program and cam
paign of the Communist Party and
will Vote Communist on election day.
Unable to find any way out of the
crisis, except to throw crumbs to the
unemployed, to cut wages, to terror
ize the workers-While filling their
own pockets with profits and divi-
dends, with graft and corruption
the bosses are preparing for war
while talking disarmament. This is
some more of their two-faced meth
DDS. They are building the air fleet
with all kinds of secret devices for
destroying whole populations. They
are inventing and producing in ire
mendous quantities gases, chemicals,
bombs, with which to wipe out en-
tire populations. U. S. imperialism is
leading the fight against British i'm
perialism the world over. With the
aid of French imperialism, Great
Britain is to be reduced to second
rate power. In Manchuria the scene

pan with the aid of U. S. imperialism
is invading China, threatening the
Soviet Union, and with definite aim
Of destroying the Chinese SovietS,
, which today control 100000 work
ers and peasants.
War against the Soviet Union is on
the horizon-war against the only
country in the world, that has no UNI
