The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-25
Smash the Terror OF the War
Makers and Wage Cutters!

Illinois miners or in preparations for April 1st,
when the operators will try to further worsen
conditions. The Party has spoken to these
miners themselves.
The coal operators being alive to this. have
returned indictments charging criminal syndi-
calism upon an unknown number of Communist
leaders and workers. This is why Gebert and
Saffern have been rushed to Benton jail in
Franklin County, and are held on $4,000 bail
each.
In the course of all these activities the Party
has been growing. Since August 1st to Novem-
Der LIST 900 workers entered our ranks This
also frightens the bourgeoisie and their Iackeys.
because for months previously our growth has
been very slow. Out OF the developing mass
struggles our Party must organize the broadest
strata Of the working class to fight and smash
this growing police terror: Already the Herald

must go the exposure of thu liberals, who to date

cat',E Of the WI kershan Report, issued State-
ment to the effect that tho charge OF Third
Degree methods against the Chicago police made
by the Hoover appointed W1ckersham Commits
sion was unfounded. Why all this hypocrisy Mr.
Holly, Borders, Fisher, ct al? AS We told you
at the time OF August 3rd when you refused to
even protest" against the shooting Of 5 Negro
workers (naybe because they were Negroes), it
is easy to speak glib phrases In soft arrnchairs,
but to even transfer this protest into the poll
teal arena-not to speak Of engaging In strug-
gle-is too difficult and must await irvest-
cation"
The workers Of Chicago must answer this
latest attack, not only by increased mass strug-
giles, better methods OF work In the shops and
among the unemployed, getting away from mere
agitation around immediate demands and en-
gaging In struggles for these demands but above
all, must answer the boss class and their poll
teal henchmen by mass entry into the Com
runist Party. Thousands OF workers follow the
Communist Party and participate in It's activi-
ties. Your place, comrades, Is In the ranks Of
the Communist Party. The most effective means
of preventing Traylor Mccormick and Cernak
from hindering activities y mass Com
