OF the Melrose
Massacre

was in the demonstration at Melrose Park
and was arrested there. However, before was
arrested, they made us line up against the wall
on the vacant lot near an oil station Myself and
another worker said we would not line up against
the wall, but it was no use arguing Then the
fire department came and parked across the
street They turned the hose on U.s. but as the
police were coming towards us, the hose got
loose and it turned upon the firemen and police.
Then the shooting started started running and
they started shooting at me. That is all know.
Later on, In JAIL we heard some arguments
between some comrades and the police and the
next thing we heard a revolver went off. We
later found out that the police were beating one
OF the comrades with the butt OF revolver and
at the same time the revolver went Off
Another young Negro worker. about 81 or 90

TOWARD Revolutionary Mass Work HS M sEy9
AGRARIAN WORK OF OUR PARTY
there as far as farmers are concerned.
B, BURCk

Activities in the Industrial Districts. --
We have made also some beginnings in So
called industrial districts-some contacts have
been made in Chicago, also in Detroit, in CleVe-
land, in Pittsburgh although these contacts
have not been developed Systematically in these
districts.
The response of the farmers to our work is
very good, very excellent AS I stated that espe-
cially from the point CT view Of struggle against
inlperialist war and from the point CT view Of
the election campaign, 1t is now very important
that We will begin to make real turn in our
agrarian wark also.
AS far as the center is concerned it has not
been able to give enough help for the districts
We have practically no literature though. there'
is some in the making now
I think our observations and our contacts.
with the farmers especially in connection with
the local hunger marches and also through the
national hunger march, shows what tremendous
possibilities there are among the poor farmers
and I would like to emphasize that the work
among the unemployed should be more closely
linked up with the work among the farmers
Il think in many small towns and smaller indus
trial cities the farmers could be drawn into joint
activities with the unemployed. Also unen-
ployed Industrial workers should be sent to the
meetings OF farmers to help them to fight
against sheriffs sales eHctions, etc. BY doing
this we would establish real contact with the
poor farmers and really would lay the basis for
the revolutionary alliance between workers and
poor farmers in the spirit of Lenin's teachings
Conirade, Browder emphasized last fall--wiler
we spoke about Concentration points"-that
while we must concentrate for the important
agricultural states, we must also work around
the big industrial cities, to establish connec-
ton of the industrial workers and with the
poor farmers. even in such districts as New York
and Chicago.
There about 300 farmers in the Party, as
saw from the statistics, but the weakness shows
itself in that about half-if not nore-are in on
district. When we broaden our agrarian worl
we must at the same time establish Party nuclei
We must recruit agricultural workers and the
poor farmers into the Party nuclei and through
them give proper guidance and leadership for
our work among the village masses.

And yet, a gambling dive, or worse, is legal"
residence under the law Of the State Of New
York. by the Grace OF God!
The unemployed must be made to understand
that not Jin1rnie's Beer, nor Hoover's Recon-
struction Board, nor any of the remedies which
the spokesman for the parties of capitalism will
so loudly shout for during the Election Cam
paign, will have any effect on the mounting
numbers of the unemployed, on the growing
conditions Of mass starvation. Only the will to
struggle, organized, and led by the Unemployed
Councils and the Communist Party, can de-
terrnine what relief the bosses will be forced to
concede.
Fight For Right TO Vote
During the Election Campaign especially, the
struggle for the rights of the DISTINGUISHED (the
Negro, the seamen, the unemployed must be
sharply raised; the leadership Of the Commun-
ist Party established.
In the simplest manner, We must explain to
the workers, that the only way capitalism can
be Hcleansed,' is by roofing out the whole mass
Of corrupt capitalist relations; by the overthrow
OF capitalism and the establishment of Work
ers and Farmers Government; only then will
we finally put an end to the hypocrisy, the
trickery and corruption Of the capitalists.

Young not the frightful oppression of the Ne

admits that for the Negro masses capitalism Cor
what he calls traditional American condi-

that the Communist Party opposes all this, that
the Communist Party practices true ~interna-

"The Communists in America have com-

Regulation of Marriage

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6-Looking
to the time when young men and
women during courting will feel the
arteries and measure the blood pressure
OF their prospective fathers and mothers
in-law, DR.. Francis D. Murphy Of
Marquette University predicted today
that degenerative diseases could be con-
trolled.
Speaking before the American College
of Physicians, DR.. Murphy said only
regulation of marriages and offspring
would be necessary to stamp out dis
eases associated with the aging.
The degenerative period, he said, is
characterized by the development Of
heart disease, diabetes, high blood pres
sure and vascular degeneration or
arterio sclerosis.
OF these, high blood pressure and

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 6.-Refer-
ring to peacetime mobilization of indus
try as a measure of war preparedness
Col. Frederick H. Payne, Assistant Sec
retary of War. In an address here today
at the luncheon of the Military Order
of the World War. declared it Is un-
necessary to build up a great military
machine to maintain national defense.
Neither our welfare nor our country
would be benefited by policy of ag-
greSsive militarisrn," he said. I'VE have
no place for saber rattlers or jingoists
In America--least Of all among Army
and Navy officers and other paid public
servants
Lesson Taught by War.
On the contrary, Col. Payne pointed
out, the World War showed the neces-
Sity of utilizing all the national in
dustrial assets of the country in event
Of another war and it Is along such
lines now that industry Is being nobil-
lied.
"Of equal Importance" he said, "is
the maintenance Of a reserve OF NUM-
tions to tide us over the period during
which our national industry is mobil-
izing for the performance OF its war
time task"
Describing the industrial measures
undertaken during the World War,
Col. Payne declared the peace-time
provisions for war production involve
four successive steps:
First must be maintained the ex-
act specifications of needed items; sec
ond. accurate estimates must be made
of the required quantities of each;
third, we must determine by whom
these articles should be produced. The
final step is to fix time schedules for
deliveries"
Suggests Program
In carrying out these plans, Col
Payne declared. a program must be
developed under which no individual
would be permitted to benefit through
the national calamity of war.
THAT few citizens should pile up
abnormal profits while the misfortune
of war was taking heavy toll in suffer-
ing and sacrifice from the mass Of
their countrymen seems intolerable," 4"
he said. Further, the gains of the war
profiteers add to the cost Of war. They
must ultimately be paid in the form Of
taxes, adding to the burdens of war
and the difficulties of postwar adjust
mentS."

MARK HELLINGER STORY

Milton was arrested and charged
with the murder of his wife. D..
The case is yet to come to
trial. And many Of you are go
ing to tell me, 1 suppose, that
no man can be convicted twice
for the same crime. His lawyer
argues that way and says Mil.
ton must be released. But, after
al, is it the same crime? How
can it be when one happened
some Is years after the other?
Yet there it is. The man was
punished for the killing of his
wife, even though it was a crime
he didn't commit. He paid his
debt. Has society the right to
punish him again?
A swell problem, 1 think.
