Something of the formation and

parade in which wagon loads of dirt
and trash were hauled away and dis
posed of.
Cleaning and beautifying the GEM

and the stone wall and iron gates at
the entrance were the result. Follow
ing this the members of the Civic
Club helped in organizing and main
tanning the library, cooperated with
the public health authorities, the Red
Cross and later assisted in orthopedic
work and in contributing to the beauty
of the town by sponsoring yard and
garden contests and making the old
Oakland Hotel grounds a public park.

ing the strike last February. While
Davis held gun on the miner who
was with Sims, Miller shot Sims thru
the abdomen and killed him. State
Militia we're sent to prevent the min

and his body was sent to New York
where thousands gathered to honor
the heroic young leader.
A coal company judge whitewashed
Miller and Davis.
Miller Already Dead
A few weeks ago Miller was found
shot dead, and Davis was shot thru
the foot, by persons unknown. Now
Davis is dying, his gun thug nature
having led him into a fight with
other representatives Of the coal COM
panieS.
Miners VIII Vote Communist
While such characters as Davis
have been and are still being hired
to try and terrorize the Kentucky
miners into accepting actual starva-
ton conditions, these miners at all
recent meetings pledge to vote Com
munist in this election, and to vote
for Ed Garland, Communist candid
ate for sheriff of Bell County. The
National Miners Union, which led the
Bell County strikes beginning Jan. |,
is declared illegal by the sheriffs in
Bell and Harlan Counties, but miners
join it anyway.

BERLIN, Oct, 17.-One policeman
and three fascists we're killed and
scores were wounded, including eight
policemen, when fascists attacked the
premises of the Republican Social
ist) Defense League in the workers
quarters of Vienna. :.
Having met no resistance on previous
occasions, the fascists attacked, but
this time the workers fought back.
A large force of police came to the
aid OF the fascists, beat the workers
and disarmed them, confiscating
many arms. The front of the house
was peppered with bullets.
In Dortmund, Germany, yesterday,
400 uniformed \fascists demonstrated
provocatively in the workers quart
ers, resulting in fierce collisions with
the workers. One fascist was killed,
while the police shot dead a woman
because she failed to close her window
on their request. Many were wound

Following meeting in Leipzig of
the notorious fascist inciter, Joseph

the hospital in serious condition
from a bullet in the head and a
fascist was seriously wounded during
several collisions between fascist and

successfully converting Middle Asia
from a tsarist colony of oppressed

an industrialized country under

Unemployed Council
Showed Communist
Way to Get Relief
(By a Worker Correspondent

WAUKEGAN, Ill.-LaSt spring
came to this city, and I could not
find work. I spent the few dollars
had, and then I saw nothing but
hunger ahead for my family. My
neighbor, who was Communist,
told me, "Come to the Unemployed
Council, and they will get you food"
I said had no money, he said, "They
don't want your money" So went
to the Unemployed Council with my
three year old son, George.
I saw plenty of workers there, men,
women and children. That day they
sent eight delegates to the county
supervisor, Filifant. In a short time
the supervisor was forced to give
relief to IL families, among which was
my family. When I came home /
told my wife I got $25 that day, and
she asked how, and said, THE Com
munist, our neighbor, showed me how
to get relief. and now / am men,

"The facts show that they do not"
was Fosters reply.
"The Socialist Party is attempting
to gather up the masses who are de-
sorting the two old parties, by vague
promises of socialism, 1t holds forth
this rotten and degenerated 'Ameri-
can democracy as the instrument for
changing the capitalist system, pain
lessly and without struggle. But the
lie is given to all their promises by
the simple facts, that it is precisely
the capitalist class, through its news
papers, radios and churches, which is
building up the Socialist Party. The
capitalist class is not afraid of the
Socialist Party. In Los Angeles,
where both myself and Comrade
Ford we're arrested and our meetings
broken up, Mr. Norman Thomas was
tremendously given the protection Of
the same police force of the infa-
nous Hynes Red Squad whose
hands are stained with the blood Of
hundreds of workers.
1.-THE Communist Party raises the
question of the disfranchisement Of
workers and of the Negroes" Foster
said, "as one of the main issues be-
fore the American masses. The Com
munist Party fights to abolish all
poll-taxes, property and educational
qualifications, residential restrictions
and so forth, which disfranchise mil
lions of workers.
Especially the Communist Party
fights for the right to vote of all Ne
groes, before all in the South ano
in the Black Belt, where they are
the majority. Our demand for self
determination for the Black Belt
provides the only possible means
whereby the civil rights of the Ne
groes can be really guaranteed.

cluded Foster, "the masses in much

the majority decision, and the call
is being sent out, as amended, with
the Objectionable points left out.
Both the unemployed councils and
the Communist Party are emphaSiz-;
ing in all conferences, meetings, in
speeches and leaflets, that the basis
of the united front is with the work
ers in the neighborhoods, through
establishing local action committees.
Borders and his associates are only
