Starving Golden State
Workers Defy Arrest
in Communist Drive

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 49,
California workers and farmers have
made the greatest demonstration of
support for the Communist Party
platform of class struggle that has
ever been seen in this state They
have piled up in fifteen counties
alone, out of the SO counties in the
state, a total to date of 1928 sigma
lures to put the Compunist candi-
dates on the ballot. Less than $4,000
signatures are required by law to put
any political party on the ballot.
In Santa Rosa a signature collector
was arrested on the argument that
it was obtaining signatures under
false pretenses for him to tell workers
that putting the Communist Party
on the ballot will help the unem-
ployed. Mass demonstrations of
workers will be held to prove that the
jobless do want a chance to vote for
Communist candidates, and for the
platform on which they stand, the
main plank of which is demand for
unemployment insurance at the ex-
pense of the state and employers.
Following the example of the
Santa Rosa officials, the San Fran
cisco election board has declared
that due to technical errors, the
petitions here will not be filed
In Los Angeles, the county clerk
went to the attorney general of the
state for advice. and had to approve
the petitions before he would order
the ballots printed.
The Communist Party has issued
statement exposing the reasons for
this campaign of subterfuge and ny
pocrisy on the part of the Republican
and Democratic officials. The Com
nunist Party calls upon the masses
for struggle to force the placing of
the party on the ballot, now that an
overwhelming number of signatures
I; has been secured. There will be mass
4 demonstrations all over the state.

Minnesota Nominating Convention

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, May 26.-
The Minnesota District Committee Of
the Communist Party has issued a
call for a State Nominating Conven-
ton to take place in Minneapolis on
Sunday, June 10, to endorse the
Communist election platform and the
proposed state and national ticket.
Nearly 200 worker and farmer dele
gates are expected to attend the
convention from every section Of the
state. Preliminary conferences and
election rallies will be held in prepa-
ration for the election of delegates.
All workers and farmers in I'M
organized territory, particularly in
Southern and Western Minnesota,
are urged to get in touch with the
Election Campaign Committee, AIS
Kasota Building, Minneapolis, on
how to organize meetings and send
delegates. Speakers will be furnished
from Minneapolis for all such meet
ilga on request. A drive is be
gatI2d to reach every workers ait
FIR Fers organization in the state.
elace there are no workers can
cfdate in the primaries, the Party is
ealing upon the workers and farm
err to boycott them on June 20,
poll ting out that only the bosses
political parties participate in the
primaries. The Minnesota laws dis
qualify any one who votes in the
primaries from signing petitions to
place the Party on the ballot.
A drive for 5000 signatures to
place the Party on the ballot in
Minnesota will start directly after
the primaries. A drive for an Elec-
ton Campaign Fund to conduct an
intensive campaign will also start
Immediately after the National Nom
mating Convention.
The state ticket of the Communist
Party to be presented to the June
10 Convention will be:
For governor, VIM. Schneider
man.
Lieutenant governor, John Lind
man.
Secretary of the State, Robert
Turner.
r. r. commissioner, Emil Ny
gard.
Attorney General, Tom Foley.
Congressman: M. Karson, F. Le-
quier, J. w. Anderson.

The farmers should be won on can
celaltion of debts, mortgages, interest,
and that for taxes he may pay in
produce, which is the only way he
can pay. Don't tell him no taxes, he
would laugh in your face. That
would only be another pipe dream of
the something for nothing sort that
Just wins laugh.

1000 MEETING
In LAW RENEE
ELECT BERKMAN
Textile Workers Fight
New Wage Cut and
Endorse Communists

LAWRENCE, Mass, May 26-En-
ragged by the vicious 20 to 30 per cent
wage cut secretly put over by the
American Woolen Co. in the Wood
Mill last Saturday, close to 1000
workers responded to the call Of the
National Textile workers Union to
protest against the cut by demon
strating on the City Common.
A thunderingg aye" went up when
the union organizer, Martin Russak,
asked for a vote of protest against
the cut in order to let the mill own
ers know that the workers of Law
renee will not take the cut without
fight. Following the Common meet
ing intense organizational work right
inside the Wood Mill and all the
other mills will commence for the
organization of anti-wage cutting
committees, and against the stagger
system which divides the day into
two shifts at the Wood Mill cutting
wages by another so per cent.
Horace Revere and Watt, United
Textile workers Union organizers,
and Father Mcdonald, who engi-
neered the smashing up of strike
last year, now stand clearly before
the workers of Lawrence as agents
of the bosses.
Answering Mayor Whites state
ment at Mondays Council meeting
that we Must have another war;,
made when a committee of ex-ser-
vice men joined the National Youth
Day Committee in demanding the
right to meet on the City Common
n May 80. National Youth Day, to
protest against war and hunger, the
Common meeting endorsed National
Youth Day. All those present pledged
themselves to come to the Common
and bring their fellow workers on
Monday, May 80, pm, permit or
no permit.
These thousand workers protested
against Whites war cry and against
the U. S. governments war prepara-
tions against the Soviet Union by
endorsing the National Nominating
Convention called by the Communist
Party.
In addition to the delegate al
ready elected by the NTWU to at?
tend this convention, the meeting
elected Edith Berkman, who is now
held for deportation by strike break
er Doak for her militant leadership
of the textile workers of Lawrence,
to be their honorary representative
at this historic convention since she
cannot be there in person.
A telegram of GREETINGS to Edith
Berkman and one vigorously pro-
testing her detention without bail,
when she cannot be deported and
has not been found guilty of any
crime, was sent to Deportation Doak.

saving money enough so that at cleo
ton time small posters with mucilage
on back printed with "A Vote for
Foster Is a Vote for a job could be
pasted on downtown shop windows,
around posts near voting places, in
factories, in fact anywhere worker
can see same.
There is no escaping the fact that
as things are now workers think they
have only two ways that they can
vote, and unless the Party can use
some psychology and go along with
the masses they are going to be left
With only negligible showing at the

RAIDS ON RANK
AND FILE LED
BY EDMUNDSON
Calls in Sheriff to Jail
All Opposition; Com
munist Tortured

BENTON. Ill, May 27.-Edmund-
son, the man who last year made so
much noise about the Frank and
File" movement he was organizing,
threw off all disguise here Friday
night and Saturday and called in the
sheriffs and mine guards to fight the
rank and file.
zipp Kochinski, organizer of the
Young Communist League in South
ern- Illinois coal fields and leader in
the real rank and file movement, was
arrested Saturday morning by the
sheriff Of Franklin county and a
bunch of thugs. He was taken to
zeigler city Jail, where he was beaten
and grilled in an effort to make him
tell where the Communist and Young
Communist headquarters are located,
and where they have their printing
apparatus for getting out leaflets.
Edmundson Threatens.
Ermundson came to the Jail and
took part in the questioning, then
told Kochinski: Tell your comrades
that if they print any more of that
stuff, I'll take care of them without
the law"
The situation is this: A wage cut of
80 per cent has been decreed, which
International President Lewis and
Edmundson and the district officials
of the United Mine Workers are alike
trying Ito force the miners to accept.
Eleven thousand miners are working
on separate mine agreements, but
those of the biggest mines are locked
out.
AT the meeting OF Zeigler Local
4069 of the United Mine Workers, the
Rank and File Opposition (the real
rank and file movement, not Ed
mundson's) introduced a resolution
condemning the scale committee for
accepting the wage cut, and calling
on all miners to turn the lockout
into real strike, and close down
the mines working under the wage
cut.
EdmundSon With Sheriff.
Fdmundson was present, arbitrarily
refused to allow anybody to speak for
the resolution, seized the document
itself and carried it away, and called
the sheriff's forces to arrest all lead
ers of the opposition. Deputies and
gunner are circling around the
homes of the miners known to be for
the resolution, and there is a real
reign of terror being set up-with
Ray Edmundson, the famous Rank
and File" movement chief, one of the
main terrorists.
Trotzkyite With Nesbit.
Another great leader has also Just
mmasked himself in Southern Illi-
nois. The name Of Gerry Allard, the
Trotzkyite, appears on printed leaf
lets Of the illinois Miners Relief
Committee, right alongside OF the
names of John H. Walker ("Weeping
Johnny, president of the committee,
and Walter Nesbit, secretary treasur-
er of the committee and always one
of Fishfick's official family in Dis
trict IL of the UMWA. Allard is the
first one of two campaign directors"
of this reactionary outfit.

Communist Campaign Growing in
Cal1,, Kentucky and Lawrence
Kentucky Communist
State Convention
in Louisville

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 27-The
Communist Party in Kentucky has
issued a call for a state convention
to nominate for state offices and
to elect a state campaign committee
to carry on both state and national
election campaigns here. The con-
yention is to be held in Louisville,
June IL.
The leaflets issued by the Com
munist Party call ON all workers and
poor farmers, Negro and white and
their organizations to elect delegates
to the convention. Unorganized
workers in mines and factories are
urged to call meetings and share
troopers and tenants and poor
farmers are called on to arrange
neighborhood meetings and send
delegates.
Against Hunger
The Communist Party points to the
terrific starvation and terror, par
ticularly in the eastern countries Of
Kentucky Especially Bell and Har-
Ian countless. 1t shows that the Re
publican Party Governor Elem Samp-
son sent troops against these work
ers in Harlan County last year, and
that this year the Democratic Party
governor, Ruby Laffon did the same,
and stood by the organized terror of
hundreds of gun thugs during the
miners strike. Assisting and taking
advantage of this terror against the
workers are the American Federation
of Labor (The United Mine Workers
in the mine strike) and the Socialist
Party.
The farmers are reminded that
thousands Of small farms have been
sold for taxes or foreclosed under
mortgages. Tobacco farmers were
forced to give away last years crop;
often enough when the crop came to
market a government agent or bank
er was there ready to seize it as
payment for taxes or debts.
Against Jim Crow Laws
The Negro farmers and miners are
reminded that they are Jim Crowded,
by state law, and denied the right
to hold office, besides being. made the
objects of most vicious lynch law and
violence.
In the face Of all this terror, much
of it directed against the Commu-
nists, the Communist Party relies on
the will to struggle of the masses Of
poor farmers and workers to make
this state convention and the Com
nunist election campaign a success.
