workers into another world slaughter.
The statement follows:
Less than IA years after the great
World War, war to End All War"
the world is now entering upon an
other gigantic war, far more terrible
than the last. The war is already
here, in the Far East. In other sec
lions of the capitalist world, the i'm
perialist powers are arning to the
teeth.
Japan supported by United States,
France and Great Britain, has seized
the greater part of Manchuria and is
bombarding Shanghai and other Chi
nese cities. The object of these powers
is not only to grab the rich province
of Manchuria but also to divide UP
China among themselves. They see
with great alarm the rapid rise of the
Chinese Soviet Republic and they
want TO drawn 1t in blood.
The imperialist powers, by the seiz-
ure Of Manchuria, are preparing a
great imperialist base upon the Dor
ders of the Soviet Union. from which
they are preparing soon to launch
joint attack upon the Soviet Union.
They fear the gigantic success OF the
Five Year Plan, in the Soviet Union.
The actions Of Japan, In directly pro-
voking the Soviet Union by occupying
section Of the Chinese Eastern Rail
road, show that 1t Is working In full
concert with the other imperialist
powers In the developing attack upon
the Soviet Union.
Take Bloody Road In EFFORT To Es-
cape Crisis
The capitalists are also trying to
find in the imperialist war, way out
of the terrific economic crisis which
is prostrating the industries in the
capitalist world. They fear the rising
wrath of the unemployed and impov-
erished workers. They hope by
drenching the world with the blood
of workers and peasants, to create

capitalist militarism is the United
States. 1t is spending more money
upon ornaments than any other
country in the world. Its expenditures
are now three times those of pre-war
days. In every corner of the world
where the imperialists are striving to
suppress the masses, American impe-
rialism is playing a leading role.
The Socialist party of the world,
and the American Federation OF
Labor are the war agents Of the capi-
talists; they help the capitalists to de-
ceive the workers with their fake
peace conferences; disarmament pro-
posals, ETC., by presenting these as Sc
rious proposals to prevent war.
The revolutionary unions of the
Trade Union Unity League must take
up the struggle against the war. This
must be linked up with the fight
against unemployment, wage cuts,
speed-up, the persecution of the
Negroes, the ailing of workers in
strikes, etc. The fight against war is
part if the general struggle against
capitalist oppression and exploitation.
Workers! Fight against the War.
Hold United Front demonstrations
with other workers organizations
against the war. Prevent the trans
porting of munitions to Japan.
Join the Revolutionary Union Of
your industry

Dupont Pays Dividend

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.,
makers Of war munitions declared the
regular quarterly dividend Of 81 per
share after meeting Feb. S. The
earnings of the company were 90 cents
in excess of dividend requirements
giving reasonable assurance" capital
list papers say "that the prevailing
rate will be maintained. In paying
regular dividends the board of di-
rectors did so, they said, on the basis
of the present trend Of profits. Es-
Inmates indicate they report that in
come for operations alone for the
first quarter of 1882 will exceed that
of the corresponding quarter last
year.
This is another proof of the capt.

RENT STRIKERS PROTEST
AGAINST ROBBER WAR IN CHINA

/ landlord raised the rent So a month
because he painted the rooms. The
workers have been paying the SO ever
since.
These things didn't interest the
Judge. His ears we're only open to
McKelly, the landlords lawyer. He
ignored the workers statement as to
why they must have reduced rents
and launched into a attack, blaming
Communist agitators", who are try
ing to spoil the neighborhood.' AS
proof he pulled leaflet out address
sed to the workers of the Longfellow
Avenue section, calling on them to
fight high rents.
The judge made a speech to the
workers hoping to fool them into
abandoning their strike. He said,
You are being nisled by the spokes-
men and Communists. Go home, be
good tenants and pay your rent, don't
listen to the agitators, etc. etc,
He did not tell the workers how
they were to pay the rents.
The workers smiled They them
selves were the rent strikers fighting
and agitating for lower rents and
here the Judge tells them to beware
Of agitators.
The tenants now are even more
determined to fight on. The workers
are sticking together in their demands
and intend to fight it through to vic
tory despite all the tricks and help
the landlord employs to break the
strike.
Thursday there will be a general
meeting of the tenants to plan their
fight further.

the bosses speed UP, in the Brentwood
Chair Company, Long Island City.
Though the danger of speed up
around wood workers machinery is

to work on piece and gang work
