COUP AGAINST GERMAN G. p.
PLANNED

BERLIN According to Der
Deutsche," organ of the Christian
Trade Unions and mouthpiece OF
Stegerwald, the former Reich Minis
ter of Labor, negotiations are taking
place behind the scenes between Won
Papen and the Hitlerites. AS the
fascists and nationalists failed to OBJ
tain majority in the Reichstag cleo
lions, it is planned to provide this
majority by force. The plan is to
unseat the 100 Communist deputies
on the ground that lowing to their
allegiance to Moscow" they cannot be
considered members of a German
Party. This would leave the nation
alists and fascists with slight ma
jority in the run1p Reichstag thus
formed.
This report, for which Der D2ut-
sche" vouched, indicate that Hitler
and Won Papen will not shrink from
DISTINGUISHING six million German
workers by expelling their represent
atives from the Reichstag. This way
we'll be the prelude to a suppression
OF the entire German Communist
Party. But 100000 workers cannot
be dismissed so abruptly-they will
rally about their party and nullify
any plans to deprive them of their
dearly Communist leadership.

Council Victories in
Tacoma Spur Growth
of JObless Movement

TACOMA, Wash.--A recent case of
electricity being cut off in an un-
employed woman workers home re-
veals again how ready the workers
are to fight for their immediate ev-
cry day demands
The worker was arrested for turn
ing on her electricity after it was dis
continued by the electric company
and her trial was attended by a
crowd of workers that packed the
courtroom. They backed her up in
the demand for free electricity for
The unemployed. (The city inciden-
tally owns the electric system and is
used as an example by the Socialists
and liberals as what municipal own
ership or municipal socialism" can
do under capitalism.-Ed) -. :. -.
A young unemployed worker and
his wife were denied relief by the
county organization until the IN
employed Council took up their case
and by mobilizing the workers forced
relief. Now this worker is telling all
of his neighbors about the council
and has joined himself.
To divide the unemployed the So
called Citizens Unemployed League
was established here as we'll as in
other parts Of the northwest under
different names. In Tacoma only cit
liens can belong. Discrimination is
practiced within the league to pre-
vent unity Of the members. Some
destitute workers do not get much
relief while others needing it less
than these workers get more. The
county relief discrininates by cut
ting off the workers who refuse to
fight sor the measly dole while In
some cases it raised the amount Of
relief to create a section of workers
who will not want to struggle.
When we have returning workers
from the U.S.S.R. here they get en-
response and the workers
are determined to establish similar
here. Woman Worker.

MASS MISERY
GROWS IN JAPAN
War Fails "To Bring
Back Prosperity"

BERLIN, Nov 10.-While the Jap
anese militarists are demanding new
war appropriations for the Manchuria
adventure, the conditions of the toll
ing Japanese masses continue to grow
more frightful. The bourgeois demo-
cratic "Vossische Zeitung" of this
city publishes a report from its cor
respondent in Japan containing the
following
Farmers Debt RIDDEN.
1.-THE japanese peasants were al
ways poor, in fact, their poverty is
proverbial During the last few years,
however, their situation has become
catastrophe. In 1929 the average in
come of a peasant holding was cal
culated at 1000 yen per annum. In
1881 it was calculated at 300 Yen.
A debt of about 1000 Yen burdens on
an average each peasant holding,
luxurious interest rises in many cases
to forty per cent per annum. For a
long time the authorities were able
to reckon with the conservatism OF
the peasants, and their stolid sub
mission to privations, but now the
number of conflicts between the
peasant tenants and the landowners
is increasing to an alarming extent
and red ideas are making progress
amongst the peasant masses"
Eat Bark.
The French newspaper Paris Midi
publishes the following remarks of its
japanese correspondent:
Numerous trees in the woods of
Northern Japan have been deprived
of their banks. The peasants have
stripped them and used the bark for
food q. .
The japanese newspaper, Mil
Nizi" writes; THE poverty Of the
peasants is frightful In most Of
the cottages there is not a single
piece of money to be found. Parents
are compelled to watch their children
wasting away from hunger"
Thus it is seen that the capitalist
arguments that war would bring
back prosperity" were lies TO deceive
the toiling masses into the new
world imperialist war which the
Japanese imperialists have begun in
Manchuria.

Farmers Help
In Hillside County, south Of here,
the council with the help of the
farmers are successfully fighting
against the terror of Dean Stock,
the big flour mill capitalist. Some
time ago when a Communist candi-
date for the state LEGISLATURE tried
10 speak there, Stocks henchmen,
Sheriff Dagon. with 35 deputized Lee
gionnaires and the state police, stood
in the street and laughed while Stock
and a gang Of hired hoodlums threw
eggs at the crowd. Several hundred
eggs we're thrown and many workers
clothes ruined.
Two workers were arrested and
framed on charges of vagrancy. They
are out on bail now and the work
ers and farmers are demanding their
release. Their trial has been post
poned twice and now it is postponed
until after the election. A. Mr.. Nor
ross and wife have thrown their
support behind the protest fight Of
the workers.
We shall continue fighting and
win relief for the workers and farm
ers and not stop because of the
bosses being helped by the authori-
ties. II. +.

Close With Savings

FARIBAULT, MINI. = This little
city of 10000 population, mostly
Slavs, some of them working one
and three days week, at from
$3.50 to ST a day, based on ten
hour day, with Chamber of Com
merce paying its secretary $4,000 a
year for a four day week, has had
for its first time this morning, its
first real lesson in finance capital.
The Citizens Bank, with deposits
of 100000, closed its doors this
morning, a national bank The Fari-
bault State Bank, with deposits Of
$1,500,000, also closed its doors this
morning, with depositors numbering
some 5000, mostly farmers and
workers. who had cash there when
all the factories here closed down.
The city and county governments
here had three-fourths of the tax
money in these banks, all city and
county work being stopped. The state
bank at Kenyon, 10 miles east Of
here, with deposits of $175,000, closed
its doors ten days ago, leaving the
city without a bank.
There is only one bank left at
Faribault. What the workers and
farmers who lost their small savings
will do, is question.

NOTE:-The rest of the stories
in this section today should show
the way to the workers and farm
ers who are destitute in Faribault.
Organized action will force the
rich, who made their money out
of these workers and farmers, to
cough up.

JACKSON, Mich.-Mass action is
forcing the city Of Jackson to give
relief to the unemployed. Three
months ago we did not have an Un-
employed Council and they made us
starve. Now we have a council with
over 1000 signed supporters, IA block
committees in different parts of the
town.
We sent three committees to the
mayor and welfare department de-
manding 81 a week for unemployed
men, woman and children depend
ents, no evictions Of those unable to
pay rent; free gas, heat, water, etc;
free hot lunches, books, clothes for
school children and no discrimina-
ton because Of color or politics.
Forced Through Relief.
They would not listen to the COM
mittees but when we called a demon
stration they called out police and
detectives from the blind pigs and
modified the guards in the state
prison to try to scare the workers.
After that they started giving out re-
lief. We forced them to give us fresh
meat once a week and clothes.
Because Of the mass action Of the
workers they now get something to
live on. Some workers are timid
about asking for relief for their fam
lilies but we are trying to convince
them to demand their rights.
The welfare board used to take
license plates from workers who had
cars before they would give relief.

as not only enemies of the unem-

ANOTHER COMMUNIST PLOT"
EXPOSED.

Two years ago more than sixty
bomb attacks were made in the state
of Brunswick upon railroad signal
equipment, right of way, and trains.
At the time the bourgeois press
charged that the German Communist
Party had ordered these crimes COM
mitted by terrorist groups" Now
the real culprits have been arrested
at last. They are two inspectors OF
the Railroad Police, who committed
these outrages to prove the value OF
their policing services. 1t has been
ascartained that these two inspectors,
as we'll as all other members OF the
railroad police are now revealed as
members of Hitlers Fascist Party
The Communist Party rejects indi-
vidual terrorism as tending to weak
en- the initiative and struggle of the
masses. Only mass action is the
Communist line Of actionl

THE GERMAN STRIKE WAVE
CONTINUES

Under the leadership of the Revo-

the wave of strikes continues to roll
over Germany. The workers of the
Schaar and Schmidt textile mills in
Limbach (SaXony) compelled the
firm TO withdraw wage-cutS an
nounced under the Papen Decree.
The workers of the giant Fritz Wer-
ner A. G.. machinery works near Ber-
lin have also won strike against
wage cuts. A factory mass meeting
voted to have the revolutionary trade
union represent their interests, with
members of the reformsit Socialist
Metal Workers Union also supporting
this motion.
Other strikes against wage cuts, too
numerous to list here, have also been
won ali over the country-in Wurt-

Prosecute Worker.
The whole set of petty politicians
(both Republican and Democrats
now in power locally-combined
forces against this defenseless work
err This man, unemployed, with no
wife and seven children to support,
was a likely target for all their ma
licious and cruel frame ups. First
they robbed his home of half of his
family, then they attempted to evict
him-and this was prevented by his
neighbors and friends of the Unem-
ployed Council Their next move was
to try to bluff him into leaving the
state-rather than to provide him
with the miserably inadequate relief.
A large delegation from the IN
employed Council went to the relief
office where a battle to the finish
was fought to secure groceries for
him and for another worker refused
relief Every possible pretext was
used to continue to refuse relief.
Some of the delegation got free
ride to the calaboose and here an
other battle royal was fought to show
the bosses of Hammond that no
worker will go hungry or cold or will
be thrown out on the street IL the
workers of the Unemployed Council
know about it.
This delegation by stubbornly re-
sisting every effort to side-track it,
secured relief for both of these cases
where others had failed and where
the grafters warned us in advance
that they absolutely would not give
relief in these two cases particularly.
No unemployed worker Of Hammond
needs to starve or do without the
necessities of life. The Unemployed
Councils Zone at 713 Gostlin st. and
another at 6037 Wallace Rd0 offer
the weapon with which to beat off
the attacks of these grafters who
try to force the workers to starve
quietly.

WRITES OF SOVIET
FOOD SUPPLIES
Collective Farm Work
er Tells Improvements

The capitalist press. Selling upon
the constructive criticism of
the workers and farmers SOviets
in the U.S.S.R. regarding the in
sufficiently high rate of produc-
ton of means of subsistence, prints
reports of workers riots" caused
by lack of foodstuffs.
The following letter is extremely
important as it reveals how the
Russian workers and peasants re-
act to the insufficiency of food
stuff the production Of which. al
though increasing, is not enough to
cope with the increasing needs of
the workers. The letter is an an
answer to the SANDERS in the capt.
talist press. 1t shows how the Rus
sian workers and peasants intensi-
fly their activity to increase the
supply of foodstuff.
Moscow, US.SR.
In this letter I will relate our
struggle for the lettering Of supply
ing of our workers with the food
stuffs. Our cooperative farm in
Balacava in the Lower Volga region
exists already the second year. We
accommodate about 5000 water
transport workers.
In this autumn we have supplied
already every one Of our water
transport workers with so Kilograms
of cucumbers. 20 Kilograms of to-
matoes and los Kilograms of pota-
toes. Besides this we have provided
our water transport workers with
great quantities of carrot, onion and
other vegetables.
Besides this many foodstuff stalls
have been opened here in Balacava,
where our workers can additionally
buy the necessary victuals.
Increasing Cultivated Area.
In order to better the supply of
our workers with the foodstuffs we
regularly increase the area under
crop of our farm. IF in this year we
have farmed and sowed with vege-
tables the area Of 803 hectares, so
in the year 1888 the area under veg
etables will increase to 1852 hec-
tares. The number of hotbeds will
grow from $50 to 1900
Of course, it would be not suffi-
cient to provide the workers only
with the vegetables and therefore we
develop also other branches of agri-
culture. For instance we have or
ganized short time ago a dairy. q
bee garden and swine-b breeding
farm.
Before and After the October Revo-
luton
Many of our water transport
workers have also their own small
farms and if you will take all this
into consideration you will see that
our position is not so bad
In pre-revolutionary times our
workers were oppressed by the tsar-
list government and it was inpos-
sible to organize a struggle for the
improvement of their life within the
framework of the bourgeois society
Now after the october Revolution
we have begun to work for our
selves and our whole life has COM
pletely changed in the course of last
years. We can record the great
achievements not only respectin!
the providing with the foodstuffs
but also in ALI other sides of our life

Net Individual Action
But Mass Action Wins
Relief for Workers

CHICAGO. Ill.--Our family only
gets "a pounds Of flour every month
from the charities. and we can't
bake on it because we have no stove
or gas or electric and we can't bake
bread or cake without lard anyway.
We have lots of flour left from last
month.
If I won't get a ticket from the
charity I'll be fighting, that's all. I
can't pick up stale bread from the
alley. If I won't get a ticket I'll
break windows in the stores and take
what I want. You charity people
get good pay but I don't get any
thing. You wouldn't be able to eat
flour every day either w. L.
NOTE:-From member of the
Stockyards Unemployed Council.
This young worker has since joined
the Unemployed Council, and was
taken to the charities. He will soon
see that only through mass action
will the workers be able to do away
with the so per cent relief cut and
to get more relief.
