PRESS USES
BOMB PLOT"
In WAR MOVE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNEl

CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE1
-------------------
the police are inclined to trust,
the bomb squad heard that Soviet
Russia had sent agents to all parts
of the world with instructions to
begin a series of outrages which
would raise more discomfort with
the capitalist system"
The Daily Mirror" another filthy
rag that has always carried a strong
odor of anti-Soviet provocation con-
ceiyed to arouse a war hysteria
against the workers fatherland, fab
ricates In the following manner:
ALREADY they have turned up
evidence which the post office Of
ficials and Department of Justice
agents believe will eventually lead
to the lair OF the King of Terror
izers, described as a rabid anti
fascist and Red killer, especially
imported from Soviet Russia TO
carry on nation wide bombing
campaign"
Recalls Fish Forgeries.
Like the Fish documents OF over d
year ago proved to be crude forger-
les engineered by the New York Po-
lice Department, czarist and white
guard agents with the aim of pro-
voking an economic boycott against
the Soviet Union, SO the dynamite
plot" Of today proves to be an OBJ
Wous fascist scheme, a plot of terror,
Jail and repression against the work
ing class and part of the war move
against the Soviet Union.
Despite the frantic efforts of the
police and press to bolster up the
entire affair, they are finding it
difficult to cook up evidence strong
enough to convince anybody. Viola
and Cipolla, who were jailed in
Easton and Allentown, amid loud
shouts from the press that the bomb
ers were caught, were released for
lack of evidence. The PENNSYLVANIA
state police did their utmost to frame
them in order to make case
against the Communist Party.
The Communist Party, in de-
nouncing the stream of lies that are
appearing in the capitalist press,
points out that the bosses who con-
troll the city and state know well
that the Communist Party stands
opposed to individual violence. In
dividual violence is always the act
OF either outright agents provocateur
or petty bourgeois anarchists who
give UP in hopeless despair and DO
not recognize the mass revolution
airy struggle Of the workers as a way
out of the capitalist crisis.
1t should be clear to all workers
that the Communist Party organizes
the workers and poor farmers for
revolutionary struggle to overthrow
the capitalist system OF oppression
and violence and to establish a
Workers and Farmers Government.
This crude fascist attempt to in
volve the Communist Party should
be denounced by every workers mass
organization throughout the United
States. Further organization of the
American workers to demand unem-
ployment insurance, to strike against
wage-cuts and to defend the Soviet
Union must be the answer Of the
workers to this new terror plot of
the police, fascists and underworld
elements.

without further incident, which IS
rather strange because such autos as
the union can secure In the coal
fields are prone to tire trouble and
other difficulties attesting the poyer-
ty Of their owners.
STRAIGHT CREEK, KY, Jan, H.
The first injunction was served on
the National Miners Union on the
first day of the strike. And 1t Is a
bad one. The Pioneer Coal Co., got
out and served an injunction on New
Years Day against the miners: Frank
Mason, Charles Nick, Henry Williams
and against the National Miners
Union prohibiting those named or
persons citing through, by or under"
the union from coming on the pros
perty of the company at Straight
Creek, or form circulating any liter
allure, making any speech or uttering
any language on said property and to
any employee Of said company for the
purpose of inducing said employees or
employees of the plaintiff to quit
work" OF course the usual nielange
Of injunction against violence" ap-
pears also.
1t only necessary TO know that the
coal companies own practically every
foot of ground in the Straight Greek
miners houses stand on and all the
territory between the mines, to un-
derstand that this is a prohibition OF
all activity of the union. 1t is slave
injunction; it is q, gag injunction;
it lis an INDUCTION not only against
picketing, striking or organizing but
against even talking about striking
or organizing. The N. M. q. will issue
sharp statement in condemnation OF
the injunction, and plans to carry on
organization work and strike leader
ship in spite OF the injunction Will
be made.
The Straight Creek mines are al
ready on strike.
PINEvILLE, KY, Jan. l.-Bill
Meeks, secretary of the Southern dis
trict of the National Miners Union
and Norman Link, another official Of
the Union went out on the first day
Of the strike and organized new
local at barton Branch, near Pine
vile. This is a local of about 80
miners who live there and work in
various surrounding mines. They
will picket nearby mines.
Meeks was nearly killed that same
day when he went to speak at Caro-
line mine. The former local pre-
sident Bill Messer, who turned out to
be q stool-pigeon and traitor to the
workers, circled around with his hand
on his gun In his pocket trying to get
a good shot at him. Bob Liddle, the
operator stood by with 8 gun dis
played, and his face purple with an
xiety as he watch the stool~pigeon
try to become an assassin. Messer
had boasted that he would get Meeks.
But Meeks finished his speech. Ninety
are on strike in this mine, thirteen
have not come out yet, and picketing
will be organized.
Miners here are both sarcastic and
angry over an incident at the Hignite
mine. A six ton General Electric
motor ran over the scales and by those
scales weighed 1900 pounds, which
proves the company has been stealing
two thirds Of what the men ought to
make, even under their low wages.

London Says the Crisis Is Over
In the u. 6.

From London we hear that the crisis is over
or ON the way to being overcome or something
like that. The authority for this is the LOndm
Economist" "There is reason to believe" says
the; Economist, ''that the Giant of the West hal
passed the crisis of his sickness" The only trouble
with. the Economist is that they think there's only
one way out of a crisis and that is recovery. You
can also kick the bucket after a crisis-but tie
Economist doesn't Like to think about capitalism
kicking the bucket, so it continues. "The period
of panic seems to have passed, the banking posi-
ton is salvaged," if we neglect the forty banks
that failed in Chicago in June and those that are
still Hopping, "and the psychology of the people
is steadier." We don't doubt that you're glad 70
hear that your psychology" not your income,
steadier:
In England they don't know where the way
out is so they talk about America I'm Britain
we have, perhaps" and perhaps not, @passed 70
a later stage in fighting the crisis than some
countries, and for the return of our own pros
perity we must await their progress" Uh hHhl
And the brothers-in-arms of the Economist writer
in the United States, the liars for the capitals
class, can say, ave are ahead of the world
fighting the crisis. ALI we have &c do now Is to
sit tight until they catch up 10 US because fOreln
markets, etc., etc., are of such importance IN Inc
worlds trade. ETC., etc." The only trouble is tha
it's not so easy for the capitalist class to sit tg
these days and one of these days some where
the world the working class win make the seal
entirely too hot for the rear end Of Nh. Money
bags and, wen anyway the crisis Is not over jus

Martin Morken has been using his
horses to pull his combine this fall
and reports quite satisfactory re-
suits. They do not cause as much
dust as the tractor, besides home
grown feed is used instead OF oil
and gas as formerly. Wheat yields
so far in this neighborhood have
varied considerably. J. G. Hansen
reports about the highest, nearly 20
bushels per acre.
Andrew DGhl threShed out a few
oats Wednesday with a small OUT
fit. Considerable threshing will be
done around here this fall so as to
save the straw for feed. Everett
Melby has rugged up a carrier on
the combine so as to save some of
the straw, dumping it in rows, later
picking it up.

No desire on the part of a prisoner at San

Automobile Production Declines
Drastically In Two Years

Automobile production last year of 1927 ,283
units worth s., 1886, 496915 was SOS per cent less
in volume and 500 per cent less in volume than
in 1929. During 1929 5,S16,19S units were pro-
duoed with value of $S,422, 871 ,872.
The capitalist class has attempted to counter
act the effects of the crisis thru increased con-
centration of production. The number of manu-
featuring plants reported during 1881 was 14S
General Motors being counted as six units). This
is a sharp decline from the 1929 total of 189
plants.
The number of workers in the industry de-
creased from 226,116 to 1S5,426 or about 40 per
cent Between 1929 and 1881 the wage total de-
creased sos per cent.
These are the figures for 1881. Since that
time the crisis has brought new low record levels
for the automobile industry as for all other IN
dustries. Capitalism and its crisis means UMPIRE
cedented stagnatiOn in industry. This means un-
precedented misery for the working class.
