The smaller fry of the capitalist parties are
maneuvering to determine the best slogans and
names they can in their attempts to mislead
the working class in the coming election Some of
the leaders, among them General" Coxey. A. L.
Stanley Of Pittsburgh, national chairman of the
Jobless Party" and William Kane of Philadelphia,
met in Omaha on April 25. The program on which
this treacherous outfit agreed was prosperity thru
government banking"
A merger of the Jobless Party with the Liber-
al Party was effected according to the capitalist
press. This was accomplished by a man-to-man
deal in st. Louis between Coin Harvey of the Lib
eTty Party and A. L. Stanley of the Jobless Party
They going to seek further allies in the nation

disintegrating and that these small parties must
try to divert the militant masses from following
the leadership of the Communist Party against
starvation, terror, and war.

More Deadly Submachine Gun

Washington, May l. The War Department
has ordered construction of eight 80 calibre auto
matte rifles for service tests. These rifles will be
manufactured at the government arsenal at
Springfield, Mass. When completed these rifles
will be compared with the new Garand 276 calibre
rapid fire gun and the more deadly one will be
manufactured on a mass production basis. Tests
on the latter have recently been carried out at Fl
Bennington, Ga, and were described by the Off
crs as "highly satisfactory" They estimate that
"a company of 125 men armed with the new gun
would have superior firing power over a company
of $50 men supplied with the present five shot
Springfield rifle" These tests are part of the
Wall Street preparations for solution" to the
present crisis thru imperaist war; thru the attack
on the Soviet Union.

Middle Class MIXED of Millions

The testimony of LaGuardia before the senate
committee Banking and Currency on April &c
gave of the details thru which the Wall Street
bankers and Investment" houses mulcted hun
dreds of thousands of small business men and pro-
fessionals of tens of millions of dollars during the
period of Coolidge and Hoover stock market "pros-
perity." The chief means used was to hire the
financial writers" of the prostitute capitalist
press to boost one stock after another The small
business men and the professionals got in, the
bankers and the big spectators got out, and the
shop keepers held the bag.
As an example, one A. Newton Plummer got
$500 for a months publicity" work in 1924,
rigging the market" on Pure Oil stock for Chase
Securities Company, the biggest bank in the world.
Financial writers Of the New York Times,
New York Herald, Financial America, Boston
News Bureau, New York Evening Post, cashed in
on this milking racket. LaGuardia is now trying
to cash in on it for vote catching for the "pro-
gressives."
This is one of the means by which prosper
ity" meant the concentration Of wealth in the
hands of the capitalist class.
