Bridgeman Case
Revived as BloaV
at Communists

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 4. The
State asked the Michigan Supreme
Court today to set the trial date for
William 2. Foster, Communist can
didate for president, and eighteen
others, including many of the leaders
of the Communist Party and militant
trade union movement, on charges of
criminal syndicalism brought against
them in 1922.
This is the famous "Bridgeman
case" which followed the raiding and
arrests at convention of the Com
munist Party. Foster was the first
tried at that time and the jury dis
agreed Later, Charles E. Ruthen-
berg, secretary of the Communist
Party was tried and convicted He
died before serving any of his SEN
tence. The case has been repeatedly
postponed since then. All the ar
rested are out on high bonds.
Bringing up this old case in the
midst of the election campaign when
the Communist Party is rallying mas
seS of workers and farmers in the
united front struggle against starYa-
ton and wage cuts, is intended by
the Hoover Government and the Re
publican Party state administration
in Michigan as an act of terror
against the workers candidate. 1t is
intended as a scheme to lay the ba-
sis for court action to bar Foster and
Ford from the ballot.
Workers Protest this attempt of
the capitalist government to deprive
you of your candidate for president!
Denounce this scheme to strike down
Your leaders in the struggle!

Ioeva Farmers
March, Protest
Hoover Program

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct, A
Thousands of farmers, marching in a
procession a mile long carried plac-
ards denouncing the Hoover admin
istration for the raid of the federal
farm banks on the farmers land
for the refusal to give unemployment
relief or farm relief, and demanding
moratorium on taxes and debts
The parade marched toward the
station where Hoover was arriving,
and Hoover hid behind state militia
who threw a Gordon around an area
of 20 blocks.
The paraders shouted denouncia-
ton of the Hoover administration.
Many of them went to the meeting
addressed by James w. Ford, Com
munist candidate for vice president
Meanwhile, Hoover, still hiding be-
hind swarms of militia, read in pom
derous accents a prepared speech to
a crowd of Republican stalwarts
from all over the state, admitted by
invitation card only.
He admitted the crisis is bad, but
claimed without evidence that he had
ended it.
The crisis, he said, was made in
Europe and came to America, and
might have been worse if it had not
been for Hoover. Hoover insisted that
in secret ways he could not reveal, his
administration has saved the country
and saved the world.
At the end of his speech he got
down to the Republican farm pro-
gram, which he stated in twelve
points, including: protective tariff,
bureau, conferences for land use, in
land waterways, not to press debt
payments Gin spite of the farm bank
foreclosures, which he falsely stated
were very few; lower taxes, which
he said the federal government could
not do anything about more short
term loans, more land bank schemes,
payment of foreign debts, gold stand
ard, and finally he declared hat
since the Republicans have ended
the crisis, the farmers have nothing
to fear. Hoover boosted that he per-
sonally smashed the veterans bonus

"The farmers strike movement,
which is sweeping through the mid
die west and spreading to all parts
of the country, has the complete
support of the Communist Party and
revolutionary workers." declared
William z. Foster, in an interview
given to the press yesterday. THE
Communist Party alone of all the
political parties operating in America
today supports the struggles of the
farmers to relieve their catastrophe
situation which is rapidly destroy
ing the every possibility of life for
them.
"The policy of the Hoover govern
ment openly proclaims the necessity
of driving hundreds of thousands of
farmers off the land and into the
bread lines of the cities. 1t pro-
claims the necessity of the deliberate
destruction of ne-third of the crops,
while millions are starving and go
ing ragged for want of the food and
clothing chat is being destroyed. The
Roosevelt Democratic Party program
differs in no essential respect. The
vague hints of Roosevelt in the di-
rection of the so-called allotment
plan, even If carried out, would as
sist only the rich farmers at the ex-
pense of the poor, but even this pro-
mise is nullified by his simultaneous
statement that any plan must be self
supporting, i. e., taken directly out
of the hides of the farmers them
selves.
Only Communists Support Farmers
Fight.
Norman Thomas for the Socialist
Party openly proclaims that the
farmers movement Is doomed to de-
feat. The Socialist Party has no pro-
gram on the agrarian question. This
means that the Socialist Party sup
ports the various fake nostrums
brought forward by the capitalist
agrarian experts. Only the Commu-
mist Party supports the present strug
giles of the farmers, and at the same
time brings forward comprehensive
program of real relief, namely: re-
lieve the impoverished farmers of the
terrific burdens of debts and taxes,
to secure for them the undisturbed

up the prices to the farmers and to
force down the cost of living in the
cities. The workers and farmers
must make united attack against
monopoly capital which is merciless-
ly exploiting both these main groups
OF the toiling population.
At Same Time Fight for Lower
Retail Prices.
1.-THE trade unions in the present
situation must energetically support
the farmers movement and their de-
mands for increased prices for farm
products. At the same time, we call
upon the workers and unemployed to
fight for the lowering of the retail
prices.
"All unemployed organizations
everywhere should establish connec-
tons with the farmers movement and
together with them organize wide
participation in the road picketing
by the farmers. At the same time.
they should call upon the farmers TO
support the unemployed with the I'M
marketable food -stuffs instead of al
lowing them to be destroyed. Joint
united front organizations and picket
lines of the farmers and unemployed
should be formed.
Rich Farmers Scabbing.
"The impoverished and middle
farmers are more and more learn
ing from their practical struggles the
necessity of forming a united move
ment together with the working class
against the alliance of bankers, cor
porations and rich farmers. The i'm
poverished farmers are learning in
bitter struggle today the lessons of
the class differences between them
selves and the rich farmers. Every
