This, he asserted, must be taken into con- sideration of payment of operating expenses to the end that sufficient funds be available at all times for the payment of primary claims, un- der which are claSsed schools, pen- sions, etc. In order to achieve this, 1t will be necessary to defer pay- ment of the secondary claim until all preferred ones have been satis- fled, he contended.

 AYERS CASH COLE
COLE ABIDES BY APPEAL OF THE BOARDS RULING BUT
 EXPLAINS POSITION

In a statement given to the Ju- neau Empire on December l, Cash Cole, Territorial Auditor, announc- ed that he would abide by the de- cision of the Territorial Board of Examiners in the II contested claims on which the Board recently rendered decisions overruling the Auditor. Warrants for settlement have been prepared and transmit ted to the Treasurer for payment.
 After due consideration this of flee has decided to abide by the decision of your Board" he said in 3 letter to the Board Tt first seemed that my responsibility was still held, but further thought leads me to believe that the responsibility is now yours as to whether or not the findings are in accordance with the facts"
 A detailed review of the several claims, together with the policy of the Auditor with respect to each, is contained in MT. Coles statement to the Empire which is critical of the Boards action in the matter. He differs sharply with it in his outlook on the financial condition of the Territory, the advlsability of following the legal opinion of the Attorney General in the settlement of Territorial accounts in general and maintains his original Objec- tions to settlement of the claims in question.
 Regarding the financial outlook, MT. Cole asserted that his survey of the situation, which was based on expenditures for the first seven months of the current biennium and the necessary expenditures that must be made for the remain ing IT months, demonstrates clear ly that it will require $271 ,566.76 more to conduct the government to the end of the biennium than the Territory can possibly recover from all sources.
 He challenged the reasoning of the Attorney General which sup ported an opinion that all liabilities incurred during a calendar year must be paid off before those in cured in succeeding periods could be settled. In the present state of the Territorial Treasury, he assert ed, to follow this policy would re- suit in suspension of Territorial aid to schools, payment of pensions and all other necessary government al activities for the first six months of 1883.
 He insisted that the appropria- tion measures of the Legislature are based upon a biennial period

WHEN WINTER COMES

IS YOUR house packed to the caves with tremend- Ous stores of flour meat clothing and other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
 Not very likely!
 But if not won't you-Gke the butterfly that played all summer without thought of the cold days to come-won't you be in danger of facing famine, months before spring comes around again?
 Certainly not!
 When wintry winds are blowing their coldest and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on the roof top the chances you may be eating juicy strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies against the barrenness of winter has gone forever It has passed when America ceased to be a lot of scattered communities, and became nation united by swift line of transportation
 As you read the advertisements telling you just what the stores contain for you fresh to your order remember that here are the inexhautible store rooms Of today storero0ms that have banished forever the anxieties that went with the snows of yesteryear.

By /. A.

THE coming elections in New Jersey, both NUM-
cipal, county and state, are of the greatest
significance to the working class of that state.
Mass hunger, starvation, evictions, wage cuts,
speed-up, lay-offs, persecution of the foreign
born and attempted lynching of the Negroes, in
addition to the vile discrimination from which
they suffer, are among the questions that face
the workers.
AS usual the politicians talk about returning
prosperity. They tell about the need Of CO.
operation to overcome the depression" not dar-
ing to call it by its real name-a fearful eco
nomic crisis. They tell the workers about the
maintenance of wages Gas Hoover babbles) and
that only by voting the same blood-SuckerS into
office to allow them to pocket graft out of the
public funds-for the benefit of the capitalists
will the welfare of New Jersey be helped.
They speak little about unemployment relief,
for it has all been in the form of the most mis-
cradle charity to few of the unemployed, while
the great majority have been left to starve. They
say nothing about relief particularly to the Ne
groes, who, even in this vile form of keeping
the workers from starvation, have been shame
fully Disseminated against. They say nothing
about evictions-about the thousands of working
class families who have been thrown out into
the cold-and were stopped only by the Unem-
ployed Councils of Negro and white workers, who
fought against eyictions, and prevented many
families from being served with dispossesses.
They say nothing about wage cuts and speed
up, which have gone on in mad drive, in spite
of Hoovers nonsense about wages having been
maintained" in which he was seconded by the
fascist labor traitor, William Green. They tell
the workers nothing about strikes to maintain
conditions which have been sold out by the New
Jersey Federation of Labor, against which the
workers have fought. They say nothing about
the mass lay-offs in important factories in the
state, except to admit that they have taken
place.
They say nothing about the persecution of the
foreign-born, the raids on halls and the arrest
of seamen in Hoboken and their immediate
transfer to Ellis Island for deportation. They
say nothing about the attempted lynching of
Negro near Roselle, which was prevented by
group of white and Negro workers of the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights.
The "ns" tell the people about how they have
conducted a healthy administration, pre-
served "law and order" by clubbing and arrest
ing the unemployed and employed workers who
have demanded unemployment relief and insur-
ance. They do not say word about the hunger
march of the unemployed to Trenton to demand
unemployment insurance. and the turning down
of their demands by the gentlemen in the Cen
eral Assembly. They ask to be reelected in the
cities, counties and state-because they have

done nothing for the workers but let them starve
and have done everything for the bosses to
keep up their tremendous profits
The "outs" talk about the need of clean"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that when they get
into office, they will think of nothing but the
welfare of the people" But the people in
their mind are the self-saIne capitalists, who
have been Fleeing and exploiting the workers,
and will continue to do SO as long as they, the
bosses, control
The socialists talk the same boss language,
promising" some things to the workers. But
the workers should not be fooled, for in cities
where the socialists control they act in the
same manner as the bosses. Only look at Read
ing, Pa, or Milwaukee, where the workers are
starving, where they get dubbed by the socialist
police; where evictions take place every day, and
the demands of the unemployed for relief are
ignored. In these cities the socialists keep the
masses of the workers from organizing, and
those who are organized and go into strikes to
prevent wage cuts, have their strikes sold out by
the socialist takers and the strikers sent to jail
as in all other cities. The strikes of the textile
workers in Reading and Milwaukee, in Phila-
delphia, Danvile, etc, show the real face of
these traitors of the working class, the third
capitalist party of this country
The workers must continue the fight for their
daily needs. They must demand

Dictatorship of German Bour-
geoisie

cists left the ReichStag until the Reichstag adj
journed was one not only Of coalition but Of
initiative, of shielding the bourgeoisie from the
power of the combined vote OF the social demo-
Gratis and the Communists in the Reichstag.
Their capitalist politics was Immediately felt in
the ranks Of social democracy. Hundreds OF
workers became Immediately disguised with the
tactics of the social democrats; hundreds have
entered the Communist Party. A special meet
ing was called by some functionaries of the
S. P. at which Communist speakers were in
vited and enthusiastically received. The bour-
geois press reports today March 800, that 9
number of S.P.D. locals have resigned in a body
from the S. P.
With Hugenberg and Bruning they cry: "We
must destroy the left" With the rest of the
capitalist financers and industrialists, they cry:
I'VE must save capitalism from destruction, and
do it by destroying the Soviet Union" Their
VorwartS carried lengthy slanderous articles
that Stain was feasting the German indus
trialistS on their recent trip to Moscow, in a
hungry effort to get some of the Soviet or
ders With Bruning they reiterated the emer-
5gency decree is necessary in the name OF public
safety.
The Next Six Months
The "crisis policy" of the German bourgeoisie
is clear. The first item in the policy is the
attack on workers wages. This attack already.
began last year on the Ruhr miners must be
extended along the entire industrial line The
second item is the attack on the Communist
Party and the revolutionary working class or
CARNATIONS. For this the emergency decree was
promulgated. The third is an attempt to cap
ture the European industrial market, and the
first step in this direction is the proposed tariff
union between Germany and Austria. The
Bruning dictatorship is consequently the logical
effort of the bourgeoisie in a last form of des-
peration to overcome the crisis. 1t is also OBJ
vious to see now, why the fascists Withdrew
from the Rel ;nstag namely in order to make
this dictatorship easy by being absent
1t can also he seen that Germany is in the
grip of insoluble contradictions; contradictions
that are tearing her to pieces and paving the
way for a Soviet Germany. The best guage
for the extent of the Influence of the Commu-
mist Party just now, are the returns for the
factory councils which shows the RICO. Unity

tatorship in full force the next six months will
be decisive ones for the revolutionary working
class of Germany. Even if they do not show the
beginning of the decisive struggle, they will
show how soon this decisive struggle will take
place, for even as the slogan of "All Power to
the Soviets" became the slogan of the Russian
workers and peasants in 1917, so the slogan
of Mass Revolution and Soviet Germany is
becoming the cry of the German proetariat.

The Emergency Decree

FHE first fruit of the disbandonment OF the
Reicrstag for six months is the special emer-
gency decree signed by the Chancellor and Min
lister Wirth aimed and decreed with the sole
intention of suppreSsing the revolutionary or
carnations and their political leader the Com
rnunist Party of Germany. 1t makes null and
void for the duration of the decree the pro-
visions of the Weimar constitution and places
full power in the hands of Bruning and police
The decree makes it possible to dissolve any
meeting of the workers no matter under what
or whose auspices. 1t obligates owners OF halls
and meeting places to give notification "a hours
in advance to the police under threat Of prison
sentence and fine. Mass meetings and demon
STATIONS are automatically subject to dissolution
if public security is considered in danger.
Naturally the police authorities are the only
ones who can judge whether public peace" is
disturbed or not. The decree makes Illegal any
party that violates the provisions of the decree.
It makes impossible the distribution of htera-
ture and the posting of placards, by compelling
the political party to notify the police "a hours
in advance of all details of the meeting, place,
speaker, and the nature of the literature or
placards Not only is it political attack against
the revolutionary workers and their political
ORGANIZATIONS but it is also an attack against
proletarian culture against cultural mass organ

Thinkers, Red Sports, and the particularly eff

families after raids on the homes of three

The Role of the Social Democrats
If the emergency decree was signed by Brun-
ing and Wirth it was ushered into existence
by Hilferding and the social democrats. What
the fascists left undone when they vacated the
Reichstag the social democrats completed. With
complaisance and natonalisrn almost the equal

were placed under the indictment law by lead
ing the workers into the struggle to demand
the right to live, and whereas others were given
heavy sentences for taking part in the demon

the miseaders of the working class, around this
part OF the country as we'll as throughout the
country, are spreading poisonous propaganda
to the workers on organizing the unorganized
workers. and are making attacks against the
real militant organizations and the leaders OF

mist Party, the T.U.U.L, and Unemployed Coun-
ellis, which have proven the leading organiza-
tions in the working class struggle against the
