LAUNCH STRUGGLE
THRU FORD MEET

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

comes of a mass struggle against the
eviction of an unemployed workers
family in the Hill section where Ne
gro workers live, and the arrest Of
Ben Carreathers, Negro and Com
munist candidate for the state legis
lature. Julia Parker and Ann Allen,
two white women workers were also
arrested.
Back JObIess Struggle.
The Ford meeting also elected dele
gates to the August 10 city confer
ence on unemployment which will
prepare hunger march on August
81 from all over Allegheny county to
Pittsburgh, thus proving again that
the Communist election campaign is
a part of the every day struggle of
workers and unemployed workers.
A colorful parade through the Hill
section preceded the Ford rally in
Watt School Auditorium. The hall
was full to overlooking. Six hundred
of those present were Negro workers,
and a hundred of these applied for
admission to the Communist Party
after Ford's speech.
Blasts Prosperity" Bunk.
James Ford, Communist candidate
for president, showed in his
speech how in each crisis, the capital
lists and their government spokesman
promise new prosperity. Now the
bankers and capitalists, including
Owen D. Young and Eugene Meyers
of the Federal Reserve System have
organized a new publicity campaign
to show prosperity is returning, but
the continued decline in basic indus
tries reported in other parts of the
same newspapers which carry the
prosperity dope give it the lie.
The prosperity talk" said Ford, IS
only prediction maneuver, which
will not feed unemployed workers or
give them jobs.
On the contrary, Ford pointed out,
new masses are thrown out of work
every month.
Socialists Aid Fascists.
Ford exposed the socialists, whose
national chairman, Hillquit, is now
trying to prove that it is good thing
for Hitler to take power in Germany
but actually Hillquit only proves that
the socialists pave the way for fas-
cism.
Carl Price, Communist district or
ganizer, exposed the Blue Shirt and
Unemployed Party movement OF the
Catholic Priest, Cox. Cox is now pre-
pairing for his fascist convention in
ST. Louis, on August 16. But already
Cox has organized gangs to break up
Communist meetings in and around
Pittsburgh. The Blue Shirts" did
not dare to attack Ford's meeting.
The meeting demanded the release
of Edith Berkman and of the miners
now in Blawnox penitentiary.
Ford will tour for the next ten days
in the mine and steel towns around
Pittsburgh.

death for the killing of Policeman
NJ. J. Kennedy early Sunday morn
ing.
Cop Attacked Workers.
Kennedy came upon a group of
Negro workers, including some wo-
men at Logan circle. Following the
concerted plan of the police espe-
cially during the last few days since
the bonus affair, Kennedy charged
into this crowd with club and re-
volver, iabbing and threatening and
ordering them to get off the streets.
He singled out one Negro worker and
arrested him and was driving him to
the corner to wait for the patrol
wagon, when the workers srnarting
under this and previous assaults,
suddenly rallied, and fought with
the cops to release the prisoner.
Someone took his club and gun away
and hit the policeman over the head
with his own club. The cop died
three hours later in the hospital,
from fractured skull.
Raids and Arrests.
Immediately the Washington
newspapers launched a TRADE
against the Negro population of
Washington and series of arrests
followed, called in the press, "a
roundup of colored desperadoes"
1t appears that the police, with
the aid Of the newspapers. have
been trying ever since the notorious
attack on the war veterans, to di-
vert public attention from that, and
have deliberately tried to provoke
race war. They have beaten up in
dividual Negroes, smashed any group
of two or three or more seen on the
street, arrested (under Washington's
vicious "vagrancy law'D and have
arbitrarily seized, questioned, threat
ened and terrorized Negro workers
who were not even arrested.
Negroes Aroused.
They seem to have policy of
simply denying the streets and parks
to the Negro workers. The whole
Negro worker population. which may
be three fourths of the entire indus
trial working population here, is
aroused, and is for the crowd that
fought back against Kennedy.
The necessity for mass campaign
for release of the arrested Negro
workers and against the police ter
ror in the nations capital city is
very great. The International Labor
Defense both locally and nationally
is looked to for defense by Wash
ington workers.

International Of Labor Unions, and
following the correct revolutionary
policy, the new union will be able
to unite and lead broad masses Of
iron and steel workers, native and
foreign born, colored and white,
women and men, young and old,
employed and unemployed, in
united front into struggle against
the capitalist offensive. against
fascist terror, against the prepara-
ton Of a new imperialist war, for
the defense Of the Soviet Union.

Workers there have many wheat
less and meatless days, and never do
eggs, butter, sugar tea or coffee ap-
pear on the table. They get rice, peas
and sweet potatoes, with occasionally
a gravy containing few scraps Of
meat. From what I hear, that has
been the bill Of fare for II years. I
heard many mothers complain their
children were going to bed hungry,
as not even enough milk was provid-
ed.
Food For Rich.
There is store with supplies to
sell to the colonists who have money,
but if poor family goes there with
cut money they will go to bed hun
cry.
About 400 or 500 are now domi-
ciled there in THE Pine Clad West
ern Highland of Louisiana" The
management sends out literature
misrepresenting conditions.
Such stuff as deludes workers go
ing there also deludes idealists into
sending contributions, and it is on
these contributions with the convict
labor of the rank and file workers
that the management lives and fat
tens. No wages are paid, while every
colonist applying for membership is
supposed.to pay a fee or else turn in
all money or wealth he or she may
possess and live and work commu-
nistically, yet I saw that no one did
that, as after getting line on the
racket the newcomers would keep in
his pocket enough to buy food and
get out as soon as possible.
Bulletin Board.
The bulletin board, which is the
place where items of news from capt.
talist press and radio are placed each
day, plays up news of starvation or
hunger marches, to make the work
ers believe they are lucky to be going
the Llano Way. Not single bit of
news from the US. S.R., but all the
slanderous vile propaganda printed
by the Hearst papers like the arti-
cles of Isaac Don Levine, ETC., is
used.
There is factionalism and strife be-
tween the Vegetarians, pacifists,
Thsosophists and Christian Scien-
t's's, Atheists, Spiritualists, ETC., but
no class struggle. Any attempt at
protest by the rank and file is
quickly suppressed. The genera,
manager has called on capitalist
courts to help with capitalist force
GUST those who protest or ask ques-
tons as to how the proceeds from
labor are disposed of.
The Llano Del Rio Colony racket
was started in California II years
ago but later moved to Llano, La. A
few anarchists, spiritualists and veg
etarians, having some capital in
vested in this colony scheme, later
saw the possibility of fleeing both
the sympathetic public and unem-
ployed workers, so now it has beer
boosted as the ideal place and peace
full way to arrive at socialism. A
Marxist is considered the worst en-
envy, and anyone talking Of class
struggle is ousted.

popping up when it looks like easy
graft. In 1880, he hooked up with
the Fishwick- Harrington clique, in
the Illinois district Of the U.MW.A.,
and as secretary of their "Reorgan-
lied UMWA." Cor U.M.W.A. No. 2,
as it was called, for Eastern Ohio,
was instrumental in turning the
miners back to the Lewis machine.
New Racket.
When this deal was ended, and,
with it, Truax's job, he turned to
new racket. He proposed to launch
a new ohio Mine Workers Union"
nice, safe organization that would
keep the miners out of the clutches
of the Reds" and sold his scheme
successfully to number of Bellaire
businessmen. Some say he got some
money from the miners as well. But
after he got his hands on the cash,
that was the last heard of his Or
ganization-of him, too, for quite
while.
So now Bill Truax appears again,
this time bound on relief mission.
An excellent plan for doing the dirty
work for the coal bosses-the work
of undermining the miners united
fighting front, of hitting at the hated
Reds" of corraling some votes in
the coming elections, and, at the
same time, turning an honest penny
for William Truax.
Fight for Relief!
But the miners will remember
Truaxs past record of cowardly be-
trayal. They will not allow the
united front for the struggle for
bread, which they are only now
erecting with infinite toll, to be
broken.
The N. M. u, advancing the policy
of mass united front unemployed
councils in every mining camp. OF
mass struggle, hunger marches, DEM
onstrations, to force through relief
from township, county and state gov
ernments and defeat the muderous
starvation campaign of coal opera
tors and state, is calling on the min
ers to repudiate Truax and his latest
attempt to sell them out, and unite,
under N.M.U. leadership for fight
ing struggle for immediate relief, for
unemployment insurance, for bread.
