Party platforms written to be ignored, the
cynic says. They have been ignored frequently in
past, in many details. But chance is not usually
given the voters to observe political party in oper
alton platform before election is held. The
unusual has happened The Democratic party meet
ing in national convention in Chicagoo, adopted
platform containing plank pledging the party to
support a repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and
pending repeal to support modification of the Vol
stead act to permit light wines and beer. To the
voters it would naturally appear that the Democrat
ic members of the Senate and the House would be
bound by such platform declaration. But in actual
practice this is found to be entirely On
Monday the Democratic members of the Senate were
given opportunity to vote the legazation of 275
per cent beer. Did they vote for it. They did not
The record shows that twenty-four Democratic Sem
ators cast their votes against the proposal while only
eleven of them supported it.
When the Democratic liquor plank written
into the party platform in Chicago by big vote of
the convention it was hailed direct, clean and
unequivocal statement Of the parys attitude the
question of national prohibition Democrats congrat
ulated themselves Of having been so specific and
contrasted their liquor plank with that adopted by
the G. o. p. national convention couple of weeks
earlier. The Republican plank, the Democrats said
was neither wet nor dry, but straddle. Well, If
the vote in the Senate, plus statements which
being issued by leading Democrats, means anything
the Democratic plank instead of being straddle is
such it is likely to be labeled by the Republicans
during the coming campaign.
There is only one way by which a political party
translate its platform pledges into affirmative
ton. That is through the action of its represents
tives in Congress and in the White House. It is
quite that Senator Bingham, of Connecticut Re-

day Of February and put in Jail,
charged with criminal syndicalism. A
thug reported to my wife that I
had been taken out for a ride. She
got so worried it drove her insane.
Some OF the National Miners Union
members came to my house with
some food for my family. When
they saw how sick my wife was, they
sent for the doctor, but he wouldn't
come. They sent after him again
and he refused to come.
They told him; "If it's money you
want, We'll pay you, don't worry about
that. He refused to come, even If
he was paid. He said that I was a
union member and active in the union
and he had orders from the COM
pany not to take care of union mem
bers. If he had come, he might have
saved her. Because she did not get
any medical attention, she was taken
away to an insane asylum.
They thought by throwing me in
Jail they would turn me against the
National Miners Union, but instead

have plenty to write about, but 1t is
hard to get news out of this baStile.
I have been here in jail over rs

or hearing. have been suffering
agony from my broken ribs, which
were kicked in by the Tampa police.
A worker in the next cell TO me
cut his throat and wrists and the
jailers let him bleed almost to death
before he got aid.
The hospital attendants suggested
that I hang myself. They say tbs
law down here does not love Com
muniStS.
There has been no pass issued for
over six weeks for someone to come
and see me. In the jailers' eyes I am
supposed to be violently insane and
a menace to the public.

up with the starvation system.

FORD MASSACRE
Worker Says Time Has
Come for a Practical
Fight
Los Angeles, Cal.


Dear Comrade:-
The crimes against the workers Of
Detroit, Michigan perpetrated by the
Ford Secret Service organization in
conjunction with the other stupid
agents Of the class who rob and ex-
plot the workers has aroused the ire
and resentment of thousands of per-
sons who did not heretofore realize
the audacity and the extreme ennity
Of the privileged claoSs in dealing
with the downtrodden, hungry mas
ses Of unemployed workers.
The time has come when we must
intensity our organization activities
and commence the application Of
those practical methods through
which we may gain results and
hasten the day when we can be
freed from the curse of wage slavery.
The Ford plant at Detroit could
easily afford to put the workers on a
six hour-four shift plan making pos
sible the employment of hundreds Of
additional workers. SO much can be
said about the subject that time and
space interfere.
Yours for the emancipation Of the
workers.

Cantonese army is attacking the
Soviet districts in Kiangsi and

that Chang Kai-shek is sending
troops against the Chinese Red
Armies in Hupeh and Honan pro-
vinces. The Canton clique of the
Kuonlintang yesterday assured the
imperialists of great successes" of
the Canton armies nj Kiangsi and
Fuhen provinces. Shanghai press
dispatches indicate that the imperi-
alists are taking these latest Kuo-
mintang victories" with a grain of
salt, in view both of their own pri-
vate reports and the knowledge that
in the previous three Communist
suppression" campaigns the Kuom-
intang troops were being licked at
the very time that Chang Kai-shek
was peddling paper victories.
While Canton reports its paper
victories, the imperialists admit that
so far there has been no real fight
ing between the Chinese Red Armies
in Fukien and Kiangsi and the in
vading Canton troops.
In the British Parliament, Sir John
Simon, British Foreign Secretary
yesterday defneded the japanese ag-
gresSions in Manchuria and came
out openly for the looting and dis

that nobody had the right to as

new Manchurian State, as a matter
OF fact, had been set up by Japan

ing that in no conceivable circum-

Who Are the
Socialists?

Reports from Madrid to London
state that the Spanish capitalists,
fearing the advances of Commu-
mist influence among the masses,
and the great loss of Socialist
ability to mislead the workers, are
acting now to exclude the Socialist
from the coalition as they have
faithfully performed their task and
their help does not seem to be so
desirable at this time. The So
ciaHsts prepared the ground for
the fascination of the present
Spanish government.
The Associated Press story from
London states:
ut was reported that the Presi-
dent was of the belief that the
Socialists should be excluded from
power and that a new coalition
cabinet should be formed with
Alexandra LerrouX, radical Repub-
lican, as Premier, The President
was understood to feel that the
continuation Of Socialist represen-
tation would mean the loss of the
support Of organized labor, since
Syndicalists, Communists and
other extremists we're winning
many followers. The President
was reported as believing that if
the Socialists left the government
they would be in better position
to regain their lost labor strength"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The united
front movement among painters and
paperhangers, started at the initiative
Of the Painters and Paperhangers
Union affiliated to the TUUL, is re-
ceiving the full support Of that or
ganization. In the first strike called
by the United Front Committee to
stop a wage cut Of dollar a day
the union members were very active
on the picket line and in giving guild
ance to the strikers. The strike was
complete success.
The union does not fail to spread
the united front movement in any of
its work. 1t has held several open
air meetings where workers Of this
trade assemble and has made an eff
fort to involve the AF'L locals in this
work. In general, the union is car
rying on active work in contradis-
tinction to the AFL, whose locals are
expelling unemployed members fro
non payment of dues
At its last meeting the union in
structed its finance committee to work
Jointly with a similar committee of
the united front for the creation of
strike fund,
The union urges all painters and
paperhangers to join the union and
to support the united front movement
in the fight for better conditions and
a higher wage. Everyone is invited
to attend its meetings, 8 p. m. on

Faced by the rising fury of
the Chinese masses, the Kuo-
mintang traitors were forced
yesterday to postpone the sign
ing of the Japanese terms for
the settlement Of the Shang-
hal problem evoked by the jap
anese invasion in South China.
A Shanghai dispatch to the
New York Times reports that
Gen. Chang Kwang-nai by a last
minute REFUSAL to attend a parley
with the Japanese disrupted" the
peace" move. The parley was en-
gineered by United States, British,
French and Italian diplomats. The
Kuomintang leaders we're instructed
by their imperialist masters to sign
the Japanese terms. The dispatch
admits that Gen. Chang Kwang-nai
was afraid ito accept responsibility
for agreeing to terms which were
likely to be unpopular"
The delay in signing merely means
that the Kuomintang leaders are
seeking more time to cary out their
nanouvers before the masses In the
attempt to deceive them as to the
real intent and purpose Of the Jap
anese terms, which seek TO set up
a so-called international state in
the Shanghai area which in reality
would be used as a military base
against the Chinese Revolution.

existence for only a short time, shows
the growth of our Party's influence.
The vote for our aldermanic can
didate in general has been lower than
for Mayor.
In contrast with the showing OF
the candidates put up by our Party,
the Socialist Party came forward with
an impressive showing as tn third
party of capitalism. Hoan got a huge
primary vote of $4,000, while the So
cialist candidate for aldermen polled
over $4,000 votes, securing the nom
nation in 20 out of q wards. The
Socialist Party also polled very high
in w. AlliS and Racine. In Saboygen
where we had no candidates, / So
cialist secured the nomination for
aldermen, and 5 for supervisor. The
vote for the sociaI-faSciStS was es-
pecially high in territories where at
one time real struggle of the unem-
ployed were led under our leadership
IS. Side, Racine, etc.. The high vote
is due to their capitalizing on the
workers discomfort with the clever
use of denagogic phrases which we
were unable TO expose before the
masses, and to hte open or covered
support Of the capitalist press, their
unanimous endorsement of Hoan, who
continually campaigned for Social
ist MARTY in the Common Council.
1T Observation-Disclosures
The end of the primary through
which none Of the candidates get on
the final ballot, does not mean that
the campaign is over. Up till April 5,
we must keep ON holding meetings,
going to capitalist rallies, sell our
platform, and convince the workers
to write in the name of our candi-
dates on the ballot. Especial stress
must be laid on personal canvass Of
those workers who signed our nom
nation papers, selling them our plat
form, Daily Worker, and other ntera-
ture. The main point is, however, to
