MAKE MAY DAY A DAY OF
STRUGGLE AGAINST WAR,
HUNGER, AND TERROR

the lines and the sharpening OF che class sG71g-
gle. On one side there will be the revolutions
airy class struggle organization Of the masses
and increasing number Of workers who follow
their leadership expressing their determination
to esist the new attacks on the wages OF tho
workers, fighting for the demands of the I'M
employed, fighting against the boss terror and
above all to save the nine Scottsboro boys, who
are set for execution on May l3, and to demon
strate against imperialst war, for the defense
of the Soviet Union, the land of Socialism, the
fatherand of the workers of the world. On the
other side will be the capitalists, their governa
ment, and their Iackeys-the Morgans, Hoovers,
Roosevelts, Thonases, and Greens. The leaders
Of the American Federation of Labor will not
be IDLE on May Day. They will make speeches
under the auspices Of the government and pa
triotic bodies They will speak Of the glories Of
capitalism which must be saved. In this they
will express as do they do all year round that
they stand for wage cuts, against unempIoys
ment insurance, for the Hoover Doak terror
against the masses, for the war plans Of y. s.
imperialism. The Socialist party the Thomases,
the HilIuUits will organize sham May Day nleets
ings in order to carry through their service TO
the capitalists of diverting the masses from the
class struggle against the exploiterS. They VIII
try with paCifist phrases to stop the workers
from organizing for the defense Of the Soviet
Union. They will try with radical phrases TO
desorganize the fighting front Of the workers.
Every militant worker, every worker who is
against starvation, who is against new wage
cuts, who is for unemployment insurance, who
is against the legal lynching of the nine Scots
boro boys, who is against deportations and who
is against another world slaughter in the inter-
ests of Wall Street, who stands against war on
the US.S.R., will demonstrate on May against
the program Of the capitalists, against the A.
F. OF L. and Socialist n1isleaders Every member
of the A. F. Of L. who is opposed to the betrayal
policies of the Greens and VOLS, will join hands
with the rest of the workers in this denonstra-
ton.
