TEACHERS PAY
CUT IN OREGON


PORTLAND, Ore.-Portland school
teachers have received a rs per cent
cut to go into effect this fall. The
school board is issuing a series of
short term notes to the amount of
two million dollars to cover the July
payments for six months due to the
teachers. This is a silent admission
that the banks have refused a loan
to the board and creates q strong
possibility that they will not be paid.
Tax collections have fallen of about
10 per cent Of the anticipated figure
this year. adding TO the crisis In the
school board funds.
Martha Jonhon, 40, a school teach
or, unemployed for two years, des-
perate because of debts, committed
suicide here today. This should be
observed by the teachers as q lesson
to be prevented by militant action on
their part. The leaders Of the So
called Teachers Union" finds funds
TO spend on radio broadcasts, but
Fave not said ANYTHING about resist
ing the wage-cut. Teachers should
organize their rank and fiis conn
mittees to prevent the cut and for

LEGION STARTS
HOAX CAMPAIGN
FOR 100000 JOBS

NEW YORK.-Again the American
Legion comes to the service Of the
Hoover hunger government by trying
to spread the illusion among the I'M
employed that 100000 jobs can be
created when production keeps going
down and hundreds Of thousands
daily lose their Jobs,
The Legion with the support of the
A. F. of L. strike-breaking officials
today officially launched hoax
campaign promising "jobs."
An example of the fakery of the
Legion is shown when they say that
they have enlisted 100000 "in a YER
liable army to hunt out and create
jobs. In this 100000 they count
3,500,0oo members Of the A. F. Of L.,
as part of the "veritable army" look
ing for jobs for others. The fact is
that at least half of this 3,500,000 are
themselves without jobs and many
have been hunting for jobs for two
years without being able to find them.
Not only are there no Jobs, but
workers who now have them face be-
ing discharged as production goes
lower and as capitalism enters sharp
er phases of crisis.
The purpose Of the "job" hunting
ballyhoo is to keep the workers from
fighting for unemployment insurance
and immediate relief by the promise
Of work. No amount Of war time"
stunting by the American Legion will
feed the unemployed.

which include more than one-sixth
Of all China. The Chinese Red Army
now numbers over $4,000 while in
Guiding the Young Guard, and the
Red partisans, the Army totals a few
million. 1t is fighting against the
native and foreign exploiters for So
Wet China and for the defense of the
Soviet Union. The Chinese masses
know that the Soviet Union Is their
best friend. Present developments
in China emphasize the great danger
Of irnperialist war against the Soviet
Union as the Japanese seizure OF
Hardin proves.
Everywhere American, along with
japanese and other imperialist forces,
are attempting to crush the resist
ance Of the Chine People. American
warships often lombard towns in the
Chinese Soviet territory and the
Chinese Red Army along the Yang
tie River. Today, In Shanghai alone,
there are 10000 troops and marines
OF the United States, Britain and
France who threaten to attack Chin
csc masses demonstrating and fight
ing against the Japanese invaders.
The movement of 100 United States
battleships to Hawaii Is sinister
threat against the Chinese people.
Japanese Toiiers RaIlying to Fight
On Own ImperiaIists.
"You ask about the unit OF the
Chinese and Japanese workers"
stated Ming in reply to my question.
cat the beginning of the Manchurian
invasion our two Communist Parties
issued Joint manifesto against Jap
anese imperialism and for a united
front of the workers and peasants
of both countries In opposition to the
common enemy. Japanese and Chin
csc revolutionary unions issued a
similar call. The Japanese toilers
are carrying on heroic struggle. In
Korea, Red partiSans are carrying on
war against Japanese imperialists
In Fukshien, the japanese Com
munist Party lead an uprising against
the Japanese government. Recently
800 Japanese soldiers in a regiment
sent to Manchuria rebelled, refusing
to slaughter Chinese workers and
peasants. In spite of the bloodiest
terror anc :ileganty against the jap
anese Communist Party, many DEM
onstrations have taken place in To-
kio, Osaka and other parts OF Japan
against the Japanese government and
the invasion of China.
THE mass movement against this
war is only at the beginning. We
are convinced that the farther we go
the wider the movement will spread
among the japanese masses against
their iniperialists, and on the other
hand the mass upsurge of the Chin
ese people against the Japanese and
other imperialists will continue to
grow OF course, much depends on
the further work of the Communist
Parties of both countries, and their
ability to mobilize the toiling masses,
also on the military developments
in the Far East.
"Also much depends on the sup
port the Chinese people get from
the workers and masses in the
other imperialist countries TO stay

In Chapel, Shanghai, the Nineteenth

masses who with growing enthusi-

This is one phase of the war now

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T
COME

My father says the paper he reads
amt put up right.
He finds a lot of fault, he does,
perusin' it all night,
He. says there amt a single thing
in it worth while to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind
Of stuff the people need.
He losses it aside and says it's
strictly on the bum
But you ought to hear him holler
: when the paper doesn't come,
He reads about the weddin's and
he snorts like all get out.
He reads the social doin's with a
most dersive shout,
He says they make the paper for
the women folks alone,
He'll read about the parties and
he'll fume and fret and groan;
He says of information it doesn't
have crumb-
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He's always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clean through.
He doesn't miss an item or want
ad-this is true.
He says they don't know what we
want, the durn newspaper
guys.
I'm going to take a day sometime
E"iarp go an put 'em wise;
Sometimes it seems as though they
must be blind and deaf and
dumb;
But you ought OF hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
