The Job RacketeerS
Mast 60!

With over a million workers in New York City unen-
poyed and without relief the private employment agencies
are filled overlooking by desparing and in
search work These workers made the victims of job
racketeers The private employment agencies like vermn
the unemployed workers and thrive their misery
These job racke must be shut down and in their place the
city be compelled to open agencies where the workers
themselves take charge and register for work Employers
must come to these government agencies for workers

try to bug jobs These Jobs IN most non-eTist

These private agencies further prey upon the unemployed
workers by taking their fees and promising job in the haz

These employment agencies circulate employers, urg-

These private employment agencies linked up with

Unemployed workers who seek redress against these
crimes from the License Bureau of the city, well from

Against this shameful robbery workers must organize

THE textile and furniture workers
L of High Point, N. c., now back
under dubious settlement, are
talking over their strike and seeking
its weak points.
The National Textile Workers
Union must participate in this
rank and file analysis of the strike
and convey to the strikers it's pro-
gram and explanations of the last
strike. There will be more out
bursts of the militant southern mill
workers. These struggles must be
organized and led successful with
mass basis of rank and file ap-
paratus for conducting the strike.
$3.50 A WEEK
WAGES
Here are conditions in the south
ern mills as described by workers.
In a print cloth mill the highest
wage collected by any worker was
a little over seven dollars and an
average of around $3.50 for the
rest of the workers. This was the
situation in High Point before the
strike.
Another North Carolina mill pays

WHEN the crisis deepenS and the
w conditions Of workers and
farmers get worse, these workers
and farmers become discontented,
lose confidence in the capitalist
system and its chief parties. In
order to stem the tide of revolu-
tionary thought and rehabilitation
of these masses and lead their
discomfort into such channels as
will keep them from fighting cap
italisrn, various parties and organi-
cations, backed by capital, spring
up in the ranks of the working
class.
ITS PLATFORM"
Such a Party is the Liberty"
Party" Its platform calls for six
hour day and wages in keeping
with incomes Of industry" against
big trusts, ETC., etc. The leaders
of the Liberty Party resort to
radical phrases against the mil
lionaires, against Hoover, etc. Mr..
Roland Bruner, the national chair
man of the Liberty Party, goes to
the extent of opening his speech
much In the manner of a Com
munist by saying Comrades and
Friends"
One of the theological leaders of
the Liberty Party is Andrae Nord-
skog, who is the vice-presidentia1
candidate on the Liberty Party
ticket. At a meeting held in De-
tenders Temple in Kansas City,
Nordskog said that the Five Year
Plan was alright for Russia, but
United States being developed
country with stabilized govern
ment, needs a 25-year plan" What
is Workshops rs Year Plan?
HOOVER'S
BIG IDEA"
/. In order to relieve unemploy-
ment, it is necessary that first of
all meeting will be held of en-
gineers "a la Hoover?) and Gin
telligent" men and women where
they will lay plans for the 25-year-
plan.
2. One of the first things to con-
slider is to combine the waters of
the Missouri, Mississippi, Colorado
and other big rivers of the west
and build huge dams and power
stations so that the desert area of
the western states can be irrigated.
8. Cities, farms, towns and fac
tories to be built in the heart Of
the desert. This, he claims will
give jobs to millions Of men and
women.
4. In building of these desert"
towns and dties, plan for the
ABSORPTION of the students, young
people, into industry and office
shall be worked out, thus guar
anteelng the younger generation a
job and means of existence for the
rest of their lives.
SOME WORKERS
WERE FOOLED
Nordskog presented his "25 Year
Plan" with such pep and vigor and
with such phrases of assuring our
sons and daughters of a means of
existence" that some of the work.
ers present thought such a plan a
good one. But what is wrong with
the 25-Year- Plan of the LIBERTY
Party?
First of all Nordskog and the
leaders of the Liberty Party over
look the fact that the capitalist
system itself is to blame for the
present crisis and its toll of misery
and starvation for the working
class.-Secondly, that it is not of
prime necessity to build new cities
in the desert. There are today

pINGING crystal clear as warn
~ ing bell through the turnultuous
German Reichstag election cam
paign was the penetrating appeal
to the toiling masses and their
sympathizers, "Anti-Fascists Vote
Communist" The election is now
over. This is being written in
Berlin as the carefully organized,
well-armed Hitler lynch mobs de-
velop their carefully planned terror
with the murder and manning by
bomb, gun, knife, blackjack and
hand grenade of workers and work
ers' leaders-the way toward still
more open fascist dictatorship.
The Reichstag election results
we're signal triumph for the anti
fascist struggle that finds its
broadest expression in the anti
Fascist United Front" under the
leadership Of the Communist Party
The brilliant gains of the Commu-
mist Party, threatened with dissolu-
ton, were made in the face of the
greatest obstacles-its headquarters,
Karl Liebknecht House in Berlin,
and in other cities, closed by the
Papen military regime; its central
organ, the Rote Fahne, under the
ban, as well as twelve other Com
munist dailies suppressed; Joint
murder actions of the fascists and
police against workers quarters, as
at Altoona Hamburg; Communist
speakers excluded from wireless
broadcasting; its propagandists ter
rorized, meetings broken up.
The Voting Technique
There is no opportunity for Ger
man voters to split their ballots
They vote for parties straight The
social-democrats, who had called
for support of Hindenburg against
the Nazis in the last presidential
elections and then saw Hindenburg
go over to Papen and Hitler and
the Hohenzollern generals, have
List No. l." the Nazis List No. g."
while the Communists have List
No. g." Thus the figure 80" in
great proportions, displayed from
the windows of workers dwellings,
on billboards, on the front pages of
newspapers, everywhere, was in it
self an appeal to vote Commu-
nist!" to mobilize in the elections
against fascism.
Under the hammer blows of the
anti-fascist campaign the Commu-
mist vote rose from 4,590,160 in the
Reichstag elections of Sept. IA,
1880, and the 4,982149 votes re-
ceived in the presidential elections
of March 10, 1882, this year, to
5,276,887 votes in the Reichstag cleo
ton Sunday, July 81. This means
that there will be SO Communists
(anti-fascists) in the next Reich
stag, compared to rs in the last
Reichstag, a gain of eleven, the
outstanding achievement of the
election campaign, which became
an historic milestone leading on to
new struggles, an immediate task
being the increasing agitation for
the political mass strike of the
working class against the growing,
bloody terror.
The Reichstag election campaign,
with its important results, the anti
fascist united front struggle in
Germany, the growing resistance to
the fascist Papen-Hitler terror,
should have tremendous signifi-
canoe for every section of the In
Sensational Red Aid, but especially

many cities and towns, big and
small, which are located in good
farming localities, where dams and
irrigation are unnecessary. In thesa
cities there are houses, new mod.
ern apartment buildings, factories
and shops with modern machinery
warehouse filled with food and
other necessities Of life; that many
of these houses are empty; the
apartments are for rent; the fac
tories are closed.
SOME THINGS
HE FORGOT
Nordskog conveniently forgets to
mention that workers and their
families are being evicted and are
forced to either move In with
friends and relatives or sleep in
parks or make themselves homes
of tin, cardboard boxes, etc. like
the many "Hooverville" towns
that have been built up near the
city dumps in many cities.
He does not say anything about
the thousands of closed shops,
factories, mills and mines where
workers are willing to work RIGHT
NOW!
Nordskog and the Liberty Party
overlook the fact that under cap
italism it is impossible to have
planned production. That the cap
italist are daily at life and death
struggle to outsell and outcheat
each other. Therefore, under such
anarchy, it is impossible to have
a system OF competition and an
plan by which the younger gen.
Grafton of students, ETC., will be
guaranteed jobs and means Of
existence for the rest of their lives
after finishing school or college.
Nordskog and the Liberty Party
have nothing to say concerning
what the workers and farmers and
their families will do between now
and the time these desert cities"
are to be built.
WHAT is TO
BE DONE
The workers each day face the
problem of getting food and homes.
Many workers and farmers are los
ing their homes because they can
not pay the taxes or the mortgage.
These workers and farmers must
organize in their city or community
and put their demands before their
local governments for immediate
relief, no sales of homes, or fore
closures of mortgages, no evictions."
Workers in the towns and cities
should arrange public hearings on
the conditions of the workers and
their families in that town or city
and Immediately the following day
to send as large a delegation as
possible to the local authorities
with the demands of the workers
as laid down at the public hearing.
Hunger marches to the local gov
eminent offices to be organized in
which the workers of the county
or township will participate.
Workers in the cities and towns
must organize and build up Block
Committees and Unemployed Coun-
ellis, involving both the employed
and unemployed, as well as part
time workers.
Unemployed works. must help
the employed workers to fight
against wage cuts by pledging their
support in the event that the en-
ployed workers will strike against
the wage cuts. Wherever such
takers and misleaders as the Lib
erty Party and Cox's Jobless Party
expose them before the working
class and urge the workers to vote
Communist for jobs and bread, on
Nov. 9th.

from this great unknown OF jungle
and desert that all sorts of wierd tales

DR.. Petrullo found. instead, he told
the Anthropological Society. confu-

peoples still existing in the Western

Among the tribes found by DR.. Petrul-
10 were people speaking tongues signify
ing a relationship to the Carib and
Arawak peoples, who we're first en-
countered by Columbus and the early
Spanish explorers Other tribes spoke
languages with no known relationships.
The explorers found them friendly, for
the most part, and were able to COM
municate with them by pantomime.
Even after entering the region, Petrul-
10 said. it was difficult to find the peo-
pie. They live in isolated villages of
not more than 100 persons, the straw
buildings so hidden by forest that they
cannot even be spotted by an airplane
unless by accident. Better luck is ex-
perienced by entering the country by
water, since most of the villages are
near lagoons and the people spend most
OF their time on the rivers.

p-eined, are flooded half the year, and

outskirts of the region, who alone have
come into contact with the whites, were
an especially tall, powerfully built peo-
pie. Among these Borroro he obtained
some of the first sound pictures ever
taken of primitive music and dances
1t was impossible to carry the sound
machine further into the jungle.
With one Of the Matto Crosse tribes
DR.. Petrullo was unable to make any
contact. They were the forest dwell

their camps at night. but whom they
never ware able to sight. They remain
perhaps the worlds only entirely un-

In some respects the Matte Crosse
tribes are far down in the scale Of cul-

in the region. They must be imported
to make even the crude stone scrapers
and other tools of stone age people.
Although there is considerable game,

On the ether hand, retrul.o reported,
they build rather impo1ing wood and

of any kind, the people fell the trees
by burning about the roots and then
trim off the branches by burning. They
refused the gift of steel ak. They
make pottery and are fine artizenS in
making bows and arrows.
