fish his job Seabury is forced to
bring to light few truths.
When the capitalist politicians
realize that 42,5O0 workers in New
York City sign petitions to place the
Communist Party on the ballot, when
they see the unemployed growing
more militant in their demand for
unemployment insurance, they begin
to look around for fake issues to
mislead the workers and to keep
them from working class action.
The seabury investigation was
started by the New York State Re-
publicans who formed the Hofstadter
committee and hired Samuel Sea-
bury, millionaire lawyer, to shoot off
the fireworks.
The most important matters which
confront the workers, Seabury, OF
course will not investigate. He will
not touch on the starvation of ,800,-

He will keep his hands off the
5000, 100000 graft in the Bank of the

CALLS UPON MASSES TO VOTE
COMMUNIST AT POLLS TODAY

You, working men and women, who
are unemployed or may be unem-
ployed tomorrow Do you realize that
they. the democrats. republicans and
socialists controlled by the bosses, are
in favor Of the wage cuts, pretending
that more misery for the working
people means prosperity! Don't you
see tit means prosperity for the
boss class, but not for you. DO they
represent you with their wage-cuts--
prosperity? No. Why play dumb by
voting for your enemies? What about
the hundreds of millions of dollars
spent yearly to keep up and make the
grating politicians of these parties
rich and to keep up the gangsters in
and out of police uniform, who beat
up strikers and pickets, instead of
giving this money to relieve the I'M
employed? Is it not clear that Vot-
ing for them means to vote against
yourself?
Don't Lose Your Vote
The politicians tell you not to vote
for the only candidates that repre-
sent the working people in this cleo
ton. These are the candidates of
the Communist Party of the United
States. They say if you vote for
them you lose . our vote. But if you
vote for the democrats, republicans
or socialists. you not only lose your
vote, but vote against yourself and
for your enemies. You vote for those
that plot night and day against your
interests, that cut your wages, throw
you out of work. You vote for the
leeches that thrive on the misery of
the working people. Indeed, we too
say, don't lose your vote. and the
way not to lose it is to vote for the
candidates of your own people, the
working people, and those are the
candidates of the Communist Party.

Working men and women!

Working men and Womenl
The Trade Union Unity Council of
Greater New York at its last session
on Oct. 25th, 1881, unanimously en-
dorged the program and candidates
Of the Communist Party in Greater
New York, as the only one of all
the parties in the field that truly
represents the interests of the work
ing people.
What are the working men and
women of this country and city suf-
fering from in the main? They suf-
fer from unemployment and part time
employment. speed up and wage cuts
Which of the parties has program
that meets the needs of the working
people on this question? A careful
examination of the program and &C
tions of the democratic, republican,
socialist and Communist Party, shows
that the Communist Party is the only
one that not only talks in favor of
the working people, but being COM
posed itself of working men and hav-
ing a working mems program is or
ganizing them to fight for the work
ers' economic as well as political in
terestS.
1t is the Communist Party that
presented to the State and Federal
Government bill for cash relief in
the form of free unemployment in
surance paid by the government at
the expense of the rich. Hundreds
Of thousands of working men and
working women, black and white, re-
Igious and Red, have voted for this
bill. What have the republican and
democratic parties in control done
about it? Iheyar against it. What
has the socialist party done to join
this fight. Nothing. What has the
American Federation of Labor, which
in New York is an agent of the dem
ocratic party done about it? Follow
ing the footsteps of their political
bosses of Tammany, the Federation
has fought against it.

WHO ARE THE SOCIALISTS!

In Germany, the Bruening gov
eminent is putting through pro-
gram of wage cuts, cut in unemploy-
ment relief, smashing of workers
organizations. The Bruening gov
eminent depends on the social demo-
Gratis. This is the socialist party in
action. sst7rssAa
The socialists party and the So
cialists international are carryirg on
la vicious campaign against the Sow
let Union. They endorse the League
|of Nations and the Kellogg BRAND
peace treaty. These Institutions are
not preventing war-but preparing
the way for war aaginst. the Soviet
Union.
Morris Hillquit was the lawyer for
the Russian white guards against
the Soviet Government, charging the
Soviet Government with having
"forcefully confiscatedp thine prop
erty of thhe white guards, the ex-
ploiters and plunderers of the
workers and peasants. Morris Hill
quit gave up the case because the
white guards in Paris did not fur
nish him with the 100000 fee that
he demanded. But he maintains that
lin principle" he was right in &C
cepting the case. And the socialist
party supports him.
This &c fhho cocio1tet
tion-not in words. They talk"
about the workers, but thheir actions
are against theh workers. They
talk" against graft-but they are
grafters themselves They talk"
against injunctions, but they use in
functions and the police against the
workers. They talk about disarm-
ament-but they prepare the workers
for war against the Soviet Union.
For this reason, the capitalist
press, Thine Citizens Union and the
Brooklyn Bar Association endorse
socialist candidates. When the C -
talists endorse any candl :, they
are sure they are safe for the CAPT
Italists-and against the workers.

from the socialist phrases but from
their actions. Your answer must be-

workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union.
The Communist Party is the only
party that organizes and leads the
workers against the coming war. 1t
is preparing them to declare civil war
against their imperialist war. 1t is
mobilizing the workers for defense Of
the Soviet Union against the war
plans of the imperialist powers.
The socialist" party shows its
stand. When the workers and peas
ants of India fought for their indie
pendence, they were shot down by
the soldiers sent against them by the
socialist" Ramsay Macdonald; when
the workers and peasants OF Cyprus
rose in instruction against starva-
ton, Macdonald sent troops against
them. When the British bosses wanted
to cut wages, and lower the unen1-
ployment insurance, the British La
Dor party c'socialist") put it through.
When the German government want
ed to cut wages and cut the dole,
the social democrats were their best
aides. This is the position of the so
cialist" party, as carried out through
the socialist" administrations with
their socialist" police in Reading,
Pa, Racine and Milwaukee, Wis. This
is the socialist" party-the third
party of capitalism, the bitterest en-
envy of the Soviet Union.
Workers of New York: There is
only one choice; either the hunger
program of Hoover, Roosevelt, Walk
err Wall Street aided by the Social
list" party--or the program of strug-
gle and fight of the Communist
Party. This is the only choice-either
starvation, or struggle. The workers
of New York will support the strug-
gle as the only way out of the crisis.

The Republican Party, the Party of
Hoover, is making desperate drive
in preparation for the coming cleo
tons. The Tammany Hall takers,
under the leadership of Governor
Roosevelt of New York, also are
making a grandstand play for the
presidency. While basically there is
no difference between the two par
ties, the control of the apparatus, the
division of the local and state spoils

preserve his apparatus in power,
