ROOSEVELT OK FOR WALKER

tunity to launch their election cam
paign by participation in the inves-
tigation. But Tammany Hall, which
through the corruption in City Hall
and the city administration is hard
pressed. decided to give the socialists
no opportunity. On the contrary, to
all outer appearances, the Tammany
Hall machine is consolidated behind
Walker.
But appearances are deceiving: the
Tammany Hall machine is in the
midst of a sharp factional struggle,
with Roosevelt and his group strug-
Cling not for control but to get out
of the control of Tammany. Roose-
welt wants the presidential nominal
ton, and knows well that open con-
troll by Tammany will spoil his
chances. Therefore, although he had
to consent to the investigation by the
legislative committee, for refusal
would have meant an acknowledge
ment of his being part of the graft
ing that is taking place, neverthe-
less the warning lotions know that
failure to sur art Walker would
mean heavy difficulties for the dem
ocratic party. Hence though united
in this issue the struggle for control
goes on.
The Communist Party repeats to
the workers that neither a demo-
cratic, republican or socialist admin
istration will clean out City Hall, or
any other state office. Capitalism
is the cause of the graft and cor
ruption, and the representatives of
the capitalist parties merely con-
tinue the practices of capitalism in
office. Only a clean out-not of jim
mic Walker or any other corrupt
politician-but of capitalism itself
will settle the matter.
Jimmie Walker smiles-but the I'M
employed do not, for the few who got
some crumbs from the city charities
and the Prosser Committee are now
hungering, together with the other
985.000, who receive nothing. This
is another form of coercion that the
grating city administration i'm
poses on the workers; s95o.oo0 for the
3-day a week jobs, but according to
official report only 20 per cent for
labor. This means that 80 per cent
goes for salaries and graft. And at
that only $4,000 will be helped for
few weeks.
The workers of New York now see
the situation: no real relief for the
million unemployed in the city of
New York; graft for the Walker adj
ministration, with which it remains
besmirched-and Roosevelt's exon
Grafton of Walker.
The workers of New York see
their" administration in action.

P. S. TEACHERS
SCARE CHILDREN
ABOUT MAY FIRST
Parents Prepare Their
Children to March

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-MiSs King,
principal of Public School 141 located
at McKibben and Leonard SITS. here,
has given instructions to all teachers
in the school to terrorize the chill
dren, about the May First prepara-
ton of the Communists.
A fear for the children participant
ing in the May First demonstration
has forced the city authorities to
mobilize its institutions against the
working class.
A statement made by children at
tending Public School 141 to men,
bers of the Womens Council Of Will
liamsburgh who are actively organic
ing the parents of the children
against the unbearable conditions
prevailing in the school is as follows:
1.-THE teacher said that all children
must come to school on Friday, May
First. And should not take any leaf
let's from strange people. She said
they might hdnap you because the
Communists will make speeches to
upset the whole school," From an
other classroom a child reported,
THE teachers said the Communists
are liable to take you away and kill
you. All children must obey the prin-
cipal and do everything the principal
says. We will have plenty of police
and will not allow the Communists
to talk in front of the school"
These statements reported by the
children of School 141, is quite evi-
dent due to the activities of the Will
iamsburgh Women's Council in the
organization Of the parents of the
children in the struggle against the
intolerable conditions which prevail
in this particular school.
When parents of the children of
this school protested against the con-
ditions prevailing in this school at
the meeting of the Parents Associa-
ton last Wednesday, an organization
controlled by the principal, Miss
King, the secretary, Mrs. Karpel, and
the rest of the rulers Of the school
they were told to keep quiet. When
the working class parents insisted on
speaking and exposing the Parents
Association the meeting was broken
up in tempest.
The demands of the working class
parents for free food, free clothing
for the children of the unemployed,
and for the institution Of free dental
clinics in schools has placed the As
ISOLATION in an embarrassed situa-
ion. The working class parents in
spite of the terror and poisonous
propaganda spread in the school
about May First, are preparing the
children to participate in the gigan-
tic May First demonstration at Madi-
son Square Park May First at 1890

Jersey Fur Strikers Statement
SmaSheS Lies In the Forward

JERSEY CITY, N. j., April 30
The rabbit fur dressers on strike at
the S. K. S. shop in -ersey City
have issued the following statement,
blasting the lies that appeared in the
Forward:
1--WE, the strikers of the SKIS. Fur
Dressing Shop came In contact with
a statement that appeared in the
Jewish Daily Forward, April IS, in
which it is declared by the "Furriers'
International that:
"'This shop was until recently con-
trolled by the Communists. The
Communists gave the firm all con-
cessions such as lower wages and
other conditions, in order to keep
control over the shop, but the work.
ers could no longer bear the slavery
conditions and therefore broke away
from the Communists. They came
to the office of the "Furriers' Inter-
national and asked to be admitted.
The Union admitted them and after
these workers declared to the firm
that they don't want to have any
thing to do with the Communists
and that the firm must sign an
agreement with the international,
the firm thereupon settled with the
International
1.-THE above is the statement that
appeared in the Forward. We de-
clare that this statement is false
from beginning to end. Such lie
can be manufactured only by people
who are the enemies of the workers
We suppose that when the Forward
and the International spoke of Com
munists they had reference to the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. We have been affiliated with
the Industrial Union since the Union
came into existence. The Industrial
Union has always helped us to carry
on a fight for higher wages and bet
ter conditions in the shop. 1t is only
thanks to the efforts of the Indus
trial Union that in our shop we
we're able to maintain the highest
nages and the best conditions in the
trade.
ITO do this, we as well as the rest
of the workers of the rabbit trade
were compelled to carry on con-
tinuous fight not only against the
bosses but also against the racket

lends noble aid in introducing color

is important. Any ensemble is
