Dear Comrades:
I wish to present a constructive
suggestion relative to the election
campaign, which, think, is Of the

The outstanding achievement of
the Communist Party since 1923 has
been the vast influence it has ac-
quired among the Negro masses as
a result of the Scottsboro case, Chi
cago eviction struggles, share CROP

mass sympathy should be CONSOLE

the nomination of a Negro worker on

Prepare To Break
Terror OF Steel
BarOnS in W. Va.
Steel Workers Have
Wages Cut Besides
Little Work

McKEESPORT, Pa, April 20.-The
McKeesport Section Of the Commu-
mist Party sent a shock brigade of 8
of its best fighters into West Virginia
today to help the steel workers and
miners Of West Virginia carry on their
election campaign, with the immedi-
the barriers set up by the ruling
class and placing the Communist
Party on the ballot in that state.
The Steel workers of Wierton w.
Va, have recently received a new
wage cut. They didn't know about
it until they received their pay, which
was short all around Then they
found out they had been working
two weeks at a wage reduction as
high as Is per cent. This is the
sixth wage-cut for the Wierton steel
Company hot mill men in the last
year and a half.
The tin mill in Steubenville is COM
pletely down, and the men from the
Steubenville works Of Wierton steel
are working across the river in Wier-
ton, doubling up with the men who
have been working fairly steady on
those mills. On top of the doubling
up, which means that the pay is
split between two men, the COM
pany is operating 4 six hour shifts
instead of three eight hour shifts
as formerly, making another 25 per
cent wage cut.
Breaking through the terror in
the company town of Wierton would
be no mean feat. Completely dom
mated by the company, Wierton is
closed to union or Workingclass meet
ings of any kind. OF course the
workers get around this secretly, but
no open propaganda is permitted
When Colum of the National Hun
ger March tried to go thru Wierton
on US. Highway No. %, the COM
pany controlled sheriff plus whole
army Of company police, city police,
deputies, state police, plus plain gun
thugs barred the way and forced the
convoy to detour.

SAYS i. S. WAR

Banker Baruch Hints
Fascist Control

At 8 meeting of the Military IN
telligence Reserve Society, the banker
Barnard Baruch, who was chairman
of the War Industries Board during
the last war, limited as to the COM
plete, fascist control of the country
which has been prepared for the
coming war.
Baruch said the industrial organ
ization would be a scheme of "five
big M's--nlen, money, material, main
tenance and morale" But what this
is to mean to the workers is not re-
vealed in the press, but recent dis
closures Of industrial organization
explain this mysterious code. Sew
enteen thousand factories have been
registered for war production. Star
walton wages will be set by govern
ment boards and strikes will be
treason" The men, of course, will
come from the ranks of the working
class, and mainly from the unem-
ployed. The first draft will call in
100000 men. from whom the van
guard of the army will come.
The hypocrisy of the hullsballoo
about the peaceful intentions of
American imperialism is clear when
they are ready for war.

PA. R.R. GUARDS
SHOOT YOUNG
NEGRO BOYS
Were Picking Coal On
Tracks of Penn.
Railroad

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The house
where Thomas Walker, 18 years of
age lived was bitter cold. The gas
magnates had cut off the gas many
weeks ago because there was no noe
in the house who was working and
could pay the gas. The City Relief
Committee had cut off the relief.
There was no food or a ray Of heat
in the entire house.
Walker decided to go and pick up
some of the cinders from the rail-
road t rack. Something had to be
done-a sick mother in a freezing
home and there was coal wasting on
the track.
Walker had scarcely reached the
track when the company thugs
opened fire on the unemployed work
er. The shot penetrated Walkers
hip from the back and passed through
and struck an other boy, Laten
Beard, 10, of Pelt St., on the feet.
Walker was left lying on the ground
bleeding for half an hour. Some
workers rescued him and rushed him
to the Graduate Hospital.
Some workers who gathered on the
scene Immediately after the shoot
ing militantly threatened the police
thugs and had it no been for the ar
rival of heavy police reinforcements
the police thugs would have felt the
wrath of the angry workers.

made easy to bring planes to the air
port, test them, and if necessary ship
them to the Singer building.
The Singer company also owns
sole boats and docks in Elizabeth
port, which has close connections
with the plant.
A brass foundry, a rolling MILL and
all equipment necessary for the pro-
duction of steel, are at hand in the
Singer plant. Because the Bethlehem
company is producing steel more
cheaply, this equipment is not in use
at the moment. 1t could, however, be
swung into action at a minutes no
tice.
How the Singer Plant Helped to
Fight the U.S.S.R.
In 1918, when the Soviet Union was
fighting for its existence against the
inperialist robbers who besieged it
on all fronts, ammunition produced
in the Singer Sewing Machine plant
was shipped to Europe for use against
the young workers republic. The
Singer company had a friendly
agreement with the Federal govern
ment for the production of this am
munition. Here is the way the agree
ment worked:
That very year, the Federal govern
ment bought some property from the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. At
the expense of the Singer company,
a huge building was erected for its
use. This building is now known as
the Dihel Manufacturing Company
and is under Singers control. The
Dihel company at once received from
the government large order for
cartridges, which 1t began to manu-
facture. The ammunition made in
Singers, as we'll as the ammunition
made in the Yale and Town Manu-
featuring Company in Stamford, the
Bethlehem Steel Company in Jersey
City, and the Canadian Car and
Foundry Company in Boston, was
shipped to Europe.
The world war was officially ended
Where, then, was this ammunition
bound? II was scheduled for use
against the Soviet Union. 1t was
shipped to the white guard counter
revolutionists, Kolchak and Semin-
off, to the American interventionists
who we're operating with them in
Siberia against the Soviet Union.
What About the Singer Workers?
What effect has the present in
creased production of munitions in
the Singer plant on the welfare Of
the Singer workers? Here are the
facts: instead of increased employ
ment, mass layoffs; instead of higher
wages, more part-time work and ruth
less wage-cuts.
In 1929, the Singer plant employed
in its nine factories in various cities,
$4,000 workers, and an army of co.
900 statesmen. The New Jersey fac
tory today employs only $500 work
ers. Three weeks ago $50 more work
ers were laid off. An extremely large
proportion of the workers work only
part-time. The 200 workers in the
foundry department work only three

which inevitably accompanies every
industrial advance.
Behind them are over Is and a
half million union members who
chose these men and women to carry
through the great tasks facing the
Congress on the approaching COM
pletion Of the first Five Year Plan
and the coming second Five Year
Plan.
Among the delegates are mum
Der Of foreign born workers from
America, Germany and other coun-
tries.
During the period since the last
Congress, three years ago, unions
have made great advance on every
front keeping step with the growth
Of the total number employed in in
dustry. The union membership has
increased by nearly six million since
the last Congress.
This period also saw the historic
achievement of the final, perma-
nent abolition of unemployment.
Today this is the only country In
the world where the masses are
not suffering from this curse of
capitalism.
Molotov, who brought greetings
from the Central COMMITTEE Of the
gress, reported that the growth Of

production during the first quarter OF
the current year over last year was

try increased by 3412 per cent.
The unions as the broadest mass
organization. of workers have played
an important role in the world FAM
GUS developments during the first
Five Year Plan. .
Since the 9th Congress. the average
wage has risen from 702 roubles in
1928 to 1101 roubles in 1881, an in
crease Of over Sc per cent. According
to the plan for the current year,
wages will average 1902 roubles, an
increase over 1928 of II per cent
However, under Soviet conditions,
the well being of workers cannot be
considered in terms Of wages alone
as social insurance, medical and
many other advantages guarantee the
security of them and their families.
During last year alone, a sum equal
to one third of the earnings of all
workers was assigned by the state in
