BLUE SHIRT COX
ENDS CANDIDACY
Tells His Fascists to
Help Roosevelt

Capitalist papers give out an in
terview with the priest, Father" Cox,
at Pittsburgh, saying that he has
withdrawn his presidential candidacy
in favor of Roosevelt.
Cox early this year organized a
Fascist strong arm squad called,
"The Blue Shirts" They smashed
workers meetings in Pittsburgh until
the workers organized their defense
and stopped that.
Cox called national convention in
st. Louis to launch the "Jobless
Party" which chose him as candidate
for president of the United States.
The delegates we're simply the Blue
Shirt storm troops, transported from
Pittsburgh to st. Louis by truck. An
attempt to merge the Jobless Party
and the Liberty Party" failed.
A week ago Cox announced that
he had abandoned his national tour.

PRINTERS! VOTE
DOWN WAGE-CUT
Boss Proposal Means
More Unemployment;

NEW YORK.-Union printers are
voting today on tricky referendum,
the second Joint of which, if carried,
will give a heavy wage cut to about
5000 book and Job printers in this
city
Vote Yes" on First Question.
The referendum ballots we're re-
ceived in the chapels (shop organiza-
tions) of the International Typo
graphical Union late last night. They
are not as understood at the time of
the meeting. They have two ques-
tions instead Of one. The first is
thrown in to brighten the printers
into voting for the second one. The
first one reads:
DO you favor a strike Cor
lockout RATHER than to accept
the proposal submitted?' Editors
note.-The emphasis here is as It
is ON the actual BALLOT.
The second question on the ballot
is the only one that has any right
to be there:
shall the proposed contract
rendered by the Printers League De
accepted"
The proposition of the, Printers
League (other job printers will follow
its lead) is for II per cent wage cut
on day work, 1919 per cent cut on
night work, a 40-hour five-day week
with the privilege of working another
day a week at straight time. There
is also provided partial abandonment
OF priority so that printer must beg
the foreman for job. According to
the proposed agreement. printers will
have to prove to the boss that they
are capable, instead of as now. the
boss having to prove them incapable.
Offic;al Threats.
Along with the ballots came a
statement by the Executive Council
international office of the l. T. u.
which is an amazing combination of
bosses propaganda for wage cuts and
threats to the members if they do
not accept the cuts. The statement
says boldly: "It is much better to
accept the best offer that can be
secured than to be confronted with
a strike or lockout under the present
conditions" Then it threatens to cut
off unemployment benefits, to lay
extra assessments on those still
working, if there is strike or lock-
out. 1t says in the face of all ex-
perience to the contrary, in all I'M
ions during this crisis, that wage cuts
will reduce unemployment. 1t says
no other printing trades workers will
support the strike.
Prepare Your Strike.

will have more to do with stopping
the wage cut than anything else you
can do, except to be vigilant, and
yourselves prepare to strike.

LONDON, England, Oct 18.-Po-
licemen, on horse and on foot,
viciously swung clubs on the heads
OF unemployed workers who marched
from all parts of London to protest
against the hunger program Of the
Macdonald Baldwin government, and
to demand increases in relief. The
unemployed workers demanded that
they be heard, and paid no heed to
the threats of MacDonalds police.
When the police drove their horses
on to the sidewalks to break up the
march, the workers set off fire
works to dispense the horses.
AS the workers neared the County
Council Hall, at the opposite end of
Westminster Bridge from the House
OF Commons, mounted police with
clubs charged directly into ranks of
the marchers. AT other points there
were also attacks. by the police,

Two Receptions
Question:: What has been the re-
ception you have received on your
visit to this country?
Answer: The reception I got from
the immigration officials was not too
cordial. They questioned me consid-
erably before letting me in and then
cut my stay here from the legal limit
of one year to only AZ days. In con-
trast to this was the reception I re-
ceived at the National Rank and
File Veterans Conference in Cleve-
land. The warm, comradely, well
come that I received from the men
who fought against me in the last
imperialist war was demonstration
of the true spirit of international
solidarity. 1t expressed the feeling
of the American ex-servicemen that
while the last war was one in which
we fought in opposite trenches in the
interests of capitalism, the time has
now come to fight in the same
trenches against capitalism.

MISLEADERS END
Mine PICKETING
Taylorville Miners Be
trayed by P. M. A.

TAYLORVVILLE, Ill, Oct. 10
The Progressive Miners of America
headquarters at Gillespie oday
struck another blow into the back OF
the Illinois miners fighting the 10
per cent wage cut. 1t ordered pick
citing to stop at Tayloryille, where
thousands of miners, by mass march
ing in defiance of militia twice called
out. in spite of the murder of one
striker and arrest of 1000 have kept
two Peabody Coal Co. mines closed,
and the other two at low production.
Ono of the seven companies of
national guards sent here by the Re-
publican governor, Enlmerson, was
withdrawn on receipt of news that
the PIMA. headquarters are them
selves smashing the picket line. 1t
was the Springfield machine gun
troop.
Shabby Excuse for Treachery.
The only excuse offered by the p
M. A. headquarters was made public
by their publicity agent, Arthur
Hughes, as follows: eve have stopped
picketing temporarily in spirit OF
cooperation with citizens who desire
to see the soldiers leave"
Already the P. M. A. officials have
forced through the recent state con-
vention of the union a decision to
allow the scale committee to sign
contracts for SIS a day, which means
the full wage cut, as already decided
on by operators and United Mine
Worker officials.
Elect New Leadership.
Hughes said orders came from the
P. M. A. headquarters to the local
unions outside Taylorville that mo
more pickets are to go to Tayloryille
until further notice"
The National Miners Union and
rank and file opposition groups fight
ing this sell-out call on the miners to
elect their own strike committees at
each mine and continue mass march
ing and picketing, to defeat the wage
cut.

The fight lead by the Communist
