Safe Cracking
Fails At Seeley

in Seeley last night when passers-
by routed a burglar who had just
succeeded in chiseling the knob
from a safe in the Seeley Mercan-
tile company.
The attempted burglary occurred
late last night. when most of the
Seeley residents were sleeping.
From the appearance of the safe
this morning investigators believed
the burglar became frightened be-
fore he had completed the job of
safe cracking.
A considerable sum OF money was
stored in the safe, since Seeley mer-
chants and business men kept their
money there during the night.

Difficulties of Daily Worker

time when the fascist terror in America is being increased
against the rising protest of the workers. the Daily Worker
finds itself most hampered by money difficulties. Now
the time must expand hundredfold Now is the time
when the lack of funds is cramping us down
CONTRADICTION INTENSIFIED
Why this lack of unds? For the very that we
mast expand Because the fight against wage cuts has
wage and starvation must continue and must increase
This contradiction And it is intensified from day to
day.
SOLUTION is 5000 NEW SUBS

tory. Secure in the knowledge that we could
not surprise it, thanks TO its information ser
vice, it rested and recuperated its strength whilst
we exhausted our forces, The whole time we
were cropping in the dark"
Cannot Win Masses Away From Red Army.
In conclusion, the General reports: I'VE can
drive the Red Army out of its bases and de-
stroy these bases, but we can never drive it out
of the hundreds of villages and hiding places in
the mountains. We cannot win the sympathy
of the masses away from the Red Army and we
cannot destroy the peasant organizations. 1t
would be big success for us if we could stop
the constant losses of arms and material which
fall in the most mysterious fashion into the pos
session of the enemy. II we could do this, then
we might have better prospect of success"
The general is not disheartened however, and
is at present engaged in working out the plans
for drive against the Soviet districts He
proposes simultaneous attack from the North
on the part Of the Marking government and
from the South on the part of the Canton gov
eminent. However, the experiences of all wars,
whether victorious or lost has shown tina There
is no limit to the optimism Of generals, but
certain very definite limit to the amount troops
are prepared to stand. General Tchen reveals
in his own report that on his last unsuccessful
drive he came somewhere near this latter limit.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 29.-The leader of the last

ports, inter ALA the following:
Hundreds of thousands of people are infected
with Communism in this area. Over an enor-
nous area of the countryside all adult and able
bodied male persons are members of the Red
Army or of the irregular red auxilaries. They
are armed with rifles, and where they have been
unable to obtain rifles they are armed with pixies
The Red Army in Kinagsi numbers about $4,000
men, but the numbers of the auxiliary groups
are impossible to determine The population
sympathizes sohdly with the Red Army and pro-

coined and supported by the peasants The Red
Army is geographically well-informed and this
is one of its greatest advantages When we adj

we endanger our lines of communication owing

Labor Unity to Be 32-Page
Monthly Magazine in ] January
Greaer Attention to Be Given to Building of
Weekly Papers in TUUL Unions and League

An important change in the press
policy of the Trade Union Unity
League is being made. Beginning with
the January Issue, Labor Unity, at
present the weekly official organ of
the Trade Union Unity League, will
become 80 page monthly magazine,
a directive and in every sense the
leading organ in the building of the
Trade Union Unity League and the
revolutionary unions. At the same
time greater attention will be given
to the building of trade union papers
as weekly mass agitationa1 weapons
in every union and league Of the
TU.UL.
Sharp Glass Battles Loom.
This is a period in which the battle
lines between the capitalist class and
the workers of this country are being
sharply and distinctly shaped. The
sharpest attacks on the standard of
living of the workers are being made
by the bosses. The steel trust in its
sweeping wage cuts Of October made
the first big thrust for the bosses;
the sweeping wage cuts in auto, tex
tile and nearly every other industry
followed.
The steel trust plans to make a
second and bigger attack before the
year 1881 is over; the attack on the
railroad workers has already begun.
Require New Organizational Tactics.
New and sharper attacks by the
bosses require new tactics organiza-
tionally on the part Of the only real
union leader Of the American work
ers, the Trade Union Unity League,
to organize the workers for the COM
ing big struggles. New tactics on
the organizatiorlal front must be oc-
conlpanied by new tactics on the
propaganda and agitationa1 front.

Column One Starts
From Boston Tues.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 30.-Dele-
gates are still assembling here from
all over New England. The wide
spread unemployment in the New
England manufacturing towns and
the growing mass support for the de-
mands OF unemployment insurance

tional Hunger March real mass sup
port. Column No. I OF the National
Hunger March will be formed by
these delegates, including the Bos-
ton contingent, tomorrow, and viii
start for Providence.

Congress to their demand for unem-
ployment insurance to guarantee full
wages for jobless and part time
workers and immediate relief Of $50
for each jobless worker and $50 more
for each dependent at government
expense.
Benjamin's statement scores the
Secret Service attack on the Ma
tional Hunger March yesterday as
"the work Of agent provocateurs, +"
seeking to inject false issues and pre-
vent the demands of the unemployed
from reaching Congress or Hoover,
by melting an armed attack on the
marchers.
Represent Masses.
"The 1900 National Hunger March
ers," Benjamin states, represent
jobless workers in 300 cities and
towns. They we're elected at meet
ings Of local Unemployed Councils.
They speak for the 100000 jobless
and the 5000, 900 on part time work.
The delegations chosen represent
workers Of all races, nationalities, ma
tive and foreign born, white and
Negro. All shades of political and
economic opinion are represented
among them"
Benjamin reminds Of the right Of
petition for redress of grievances en-
bodied in the amendments to the U.
S. Constitution, and points out that
the particular grievances that is up
pernoSt in the minds of 10000, 900
unemployed workers now is STARVA-
TTON. They have sent these 1900
hunger narchers to Washington with
concrete proposals for redress of this
grievance. To deny them the right
to march, meet and be represented
before Congress and at the White
House is another breach Of the Con-
stitutdon.
Meet in Washington.
The march goes on in spite of al
threats. Benjamin states:
fifteen hundred delegates will
meet in conference at Washington
December 6th, at p. m. Here, they
will elect committee to present
their complete demands TO Congress,
and to the president. They will also
choose permanent National Coun-
cip.'
Benjamin declared that many
locals Of the American ederation Of
Labor are among the groups Of work
ers sponsoring the Hunger March
Thirteen A. r. Of L. locals in New
York City, many others in Chicago
Philadelphia, Detroit and the West
Coast, are among the organized anc

have endorsed this march" he said.

Purpose Of New Labor Unity.
What will the new Labor Unity
monthly magazine be like, and why
must it have the support Of every
active in the revolutionary movement,
engaged in the every day work OF
building the revolutionary unions and
leagues; of every class conscious
worker in fact? 1t will be a directive
magazine, first of all, pointing out
the correct tactics in building tbs
revolutionary unions and leagues:
publishing articles by the leaders OF
the TUUL and the Red unions and
leagues; mercilessly setting forth the
shortcomings and thoroughly thrash
ing out and discussing the failures.
In the columns of the new Labor
Unity important lessons will be learn
ed from all strike struggles.
The leaders Of the National Miners
Union, the Metal Workers Industrial
League, the National Textile Workers
Union, etc, will write articles in the
new Labor Unity on the problems
confronting the workers in their in
dustries and the tasks Of their re-
spectiye unions Such vell-know7l
leaders of the revolutionary labor
movement as VIM. z. Foster and VIM.
F. Dunno, will write for the new
Labor Unity magazine. There will
also be cultural features, workers,
correspondence, cartoons by the well
known revolutionary artist. Walter
Quirt, and numerous pictures taken
at scenes of the class struggle.
The success of the new Labor Unity
will depend on the efforts made By
the TUUL actiYeS TO build it. No ac-
tive worker i'll the TUUL or in aas

these delegations OF the starving.
That's washington reaSoniny

these delegations OF the starving.
That's Washington reasoning.
1t states also, the whole scheme is
the work of those who are alert to
make trouble for the government Of
the United States, who seek it's sub
version, who aim at the revolution
based upon the principles of Com
muniSn.
To demand unemployment insur-
ance and immediate relief is "r-r-rey-
olution" with three rs. Hoover's pro-
gram for the unemployed millions, "a
Crust of Bread ON Bayonet" Is be-
ing modified. He presents merely q
bare bayonet now.
No Specific Demands?
But unemployment insurance to be
paid by the government and employ
ers-and immediate relief in a lump
sum of $15o-that's heresy against
Wall Street.
Therefore the editorial in the HooV-
er organ: "rhe right of petition has
not been denied, nor has the right
Of orderly assembly. In fact, those
who are promoting this manifesto
ton of dissent do not seek any speci-
fic relief from the president nor from
congress, the editorial further COM
ments. No specific relief? Let US
give the administration a little les
son in English-or economics.
$3.50 in lump SUMS that specific
relief? Or unemployment insurance
amounting to full wages-is that spe-
cific relief?
The Hoover government idea Of spe-
cific relief is the bullet or the bayo-
net-which relieves you Of all further
distress.
According to the Hoover paper the
Hunger Marchers will not forward
the cause of the unemployed. They
will not advance by a day the enact
ment of such laws or the grant Of
such appropriations as congress may
vote in relief of public distress" The
wish is father to the thought. Pre-
cisely mass protest-nass demand
is what Washington fears.
