is HOOVER RELIEF
Answers Protest With
Chicago Murder

CHICAGO, 1ll.-Hoover recently
made the statement that "no man,
woman or child shall be without food,
clothing or shelter" The shelter Hoo
yer means is six feet deep in the
ground, as she showed to the exser-
vicemen and their children. And
now, his captain gangster Mayor Ger
max, with whom he discussed relief
a short time ago, gave the same an
swer last Friday at 1701 S. String
St., in front of the relief station.
The workers there protested against
a so per cent cut in the miserable
relief. The answer was: If you keep
your mouth shut, you can die slowly,
but to those who don't want to die
of slow starvation, here is the 100
per cent Hoover relief, and BANG,
went into one militant workers stom-
ach, right below the heart, bullet
from the pistol of John Touhy, one
Of Cermak's case workers.
We hope that after the funeral not
only our section but all over the U.
S. the workers and farmers think
well about whom they will vote for,
and realize that their sonly party is
the Communist Party.

Chats with Our
WOrcOrrs

Glassford, the police chief Of the
Capitol, who played the role Of an
agent provocateur in handling the
bonus march last summer, resigned
his post saying:
81 find myself in the equivocal po-
sition of so many other police chiefs
in the United States, namely, hold
ing position Of great responsibility,
but deprived OF the essential author
ity to discharge it without fear or
favor"
Glassford, as tool of the bankers,
is not fighting for his own authority
alone. He is leading the way to get
authority for the police chiefs in the
country to stop the organization Of
the coming Unemployed March, the
Bonus March, and the Farmers Con-
ference, in December.
Worker and farmer correspondents
throughout the country must take it
upon themselves to report all at
tempts to interfere with the success
full organization of these mass move
ments. 1t is your job to expose all
terror, expose the class character OF
the police and the courts, and par
ticularly to report all struggles
against this terror.

STRUGGLE AGAINST
PROPAGATION
SPIES IN DETROIT

The task of keeping the revolution
airy labor movement clean from spies,
stoolpigeons and disrupters is urgent
at all times. 1t assumes special i'm
portanoe at the present time, when
the combined forces of the capitalist
organizations and city, state and fed
eral government agencies are con-
Quoting a general attack upon abe
working class, on the Communist
Party and on other militant workers
organizations.
Under the auspices of the Michi-
gan Manufacturers, Association, the
notorious stoolpigeon Jacob Spolansky
has been directing the spying activ-
tiles in working class organizations
in Detroit, and supplying the bosses
and the government with information
and material for a series of frame
ups and prosecutions.
The District Committee Of the
Communist Party at this time has
exposed the following three spies and
disrupters, who have been active in
the Workers Ex-Servicemen's League,
and all Of whom have been found to
have closely associated with the self
admitted police spy Mrs. Cooper.

CHILD WELFARE"
is MORE HUNGER
No Move Made to raise
School Funds
BY ARTHUR MILLER.

HAMMOND ,Ind-Hoover's latest
mockery is his suggestion for short
ening the working day. This is add
ing insult to injury. He has already
shortened the working day for one
half the workers, now employed, and
for those who are working part time.
Perhaps he intends to further shorten
the working day by giving to those
unemployed or employed part time
gas to shorten their working day for
ever, as he did to the bonus army in
Washington.
Another of Hoover's recommended
tion is the elimination of child labor.
Funny it took all these years for Hoo
yer to say he wanted to help the chill
dren. But he contradicts his state
ments I'VE should not forget that
idleness is no more helpful to children
than it is to adults, and that rigorous
enforcement and support Of school
attendance is a vital accompaniment
to all reduction of child employment"
But he never said anything about
setting aside a sum for the purpose
of this school attendance. State and
city governments are cutting appro-
priations for education. The Federal
government makes no move to help.
would like to ask Mr.. Hoover:
How can any family, just barely ex-
isting on inadequate relief, send a
child to school with no shoes or
clothes, and suffering from, malnutri-
ton? And from where is to come the
money TO purchase books from rack
eteerilg school boards?
Arthur A. Ballantine, under secre-
tary of the treasury, review the Hoo
yer program to meet the depression
with this statement:
1.-THE success of that effort is be-
ing reflected today in increased bank
reserves, larger bank deposits, the re-
turn of gold currency, increased prices
Of commodities and securities, and,
beginning in certain lines, an upturn
of employment and business activ-
tiles"
Increased bank reserves and larger
bank deposits means. for the workers,
more unemployment. Whose bank
reserves and bank deposits? Not the
workers, for the workers small de-
posits were long ago liquidated. These
deposits mean for the workers only
less money in circulation and more
unemployment.
The return Of gold currency means
nothing to us who see no sign of any
currency.
Increased prices means that those
Of us who still get a few dollars will
get even less for our small wages.
And Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Bellantine
have seen to it that very few work
ers have any money to buy anything
at any price.
Can any worker see any sign of an
"upturn in business and business ac-
tivities?" And Mr.. Roosevelt is no
different from the republicans in his
program Neither is the Socialist
Party. Only the Communist Party
shows the workers way out of the
crisis.
