the working day is seven hours. Ev-
cry one, as you know, gets one day
in six off and at least two weeks
vacation with pay. A good many
workers get q month, some even two
months, but the majority, as far as I
can judge, get three weeks vaca-

Jobs Waiting.
"JobS are easy to get In fact, fac
tories and offices fight each other
for qualified workers. Any one can
get job almost anywhere, and if
he applies himself and learns the
work, advancement is very rapid.
1.-THE demand for everything has
gone up tremendously and while the
supply has increased, it can't keep
up with the demand. Take shoes for
instance. If you can manage to buy
three pairs of shoes year you are
very lucky. But every worker anS
peasant has a pair of shoes. In thf,
past, I'm told, in Cdarist Russia, il
was very rare to find peasant witt
pair of shoes. Now, they demand to
buy three or four pairs year, and
of course since the concentration has
been on heavy industry SO far, the
shoe industry can't keep up with
the new demand for shoes.

French Red Aid Meet
Demands Release of
The Scottsboro Boys

PARIS, France Release all class
war prisoners Liberate the Scotsboro
Negro boys! That it our greeting to
the representative here OF the AM
erican Red Aid section, our Comrade
Louis Engdahl! Amnesty! Amnesty!
Amnesty"
The words were spoken with such
ferYor as the concluding remarks of
Delegate Aristide Denys, that they
brought the delegates TO the Fourth
National Congress of the French Sec
ton, International Red Aid, here to
their feet singing the "Internationale"
and chanting Amnesty! Amnesty"
in one of ne most spirited outburSt5
Of the whole gathering.
The German-speaking delegates
from Alsace Lorraine joined in the
"Rote Front greeting three times
in acclaiming the speaker.
Aristide DerVs was the respon-
sible editor of LHwnanite; French
organ of the Communist Party, for
four years, during which he was twice
sent to prison, once for year and
half, and the second time for four
years, on 30 charges Of "inciting SOL
diers to diSobedience." Most of his
contributions to the convention dis
cussion of the general report to the
Congress made by the general sec
rotary, Jean Chauvet, was a plea for
greater attention to the prisoners and
their families.
Delegate Dangelser, from Strass-
bourg in Alsace-Lorraine, brought
forward the struggle on behalf of the
German national minority in this
section, showed how it was linked up
with the Scottsboro campaign, ex-
posed the role of the Social Demo-
Gratis as the best imperialist allies
in their aid in oppressirg the ma
tional minorities and in their attacks
upon the Scottsboro campaign.
A Polish delegate from Northern
France also helped to show that
France Is not all French, but that it
has a large foreign-born population,
Italians, Germans, Poles especially.
These all create special problems for
the French Red Aid Section
Oscar Behrandt, from Essen, in the
Ruhr, spoke as the fraternal delegate
from the German Red Aid. He was
received, as was Xavier Relecorn, sec
rotary OF the Belgian Red Aid Sec
ton, with the singing Of the In
ternationale.' Both Behrandt and
Relecom told Of the carrying through
OF the October TO- International
Scottsboro Day action of the Inter
national Red Aid.

THE
SOCIALISTS
While the Socialists pretend to
adhere to MARKHAM economics and
claim to be the champions OF the
working class against the capital
lists, actually in practice they daily
show themselves to be the chief
barrier to the improvement of the
workers conditions. If we judge
their preachment as we see their
practice, their specialization of in
dustry" would only be the salvaging
Of already bankrupt industries
through the setting up Of a sort
of state capitalism, change that
in no way would effect the DONNA
ton of the capitalists and land
lords over the masses, a change
which would mean primarily az
white Specialization" with the COL
ored workers occupying the same
position as in the present indus
trial structure.
More than this, the Socialists
lack clear cut position and de-
terInined militancy on the question
most vital to the American Negro,
the question of complete equality
and equal rights for the Negro, and
since this is the only premise upon
which the racial question can be
satisfactorily solved in this country,
they do not express the real OBJ
jective and ambition of the colored
groups.
This leaves but one open road
for the real expression of the for
ward looking voter of our group.
FORD AND FOSTER
The Communist Party is the
only one going straight down our
street
Straight from the shoulder, it
proposes complete economic, politi-
cal, and social equality. 1t backs
up this stand by meeting the issue
squarely and nominating James w.
Ford, a colored man, for vice
president. It meets the issue
squarely by expelling from its ranks
any whites who seek to raise the
horny-headed monster of racial
prejudice. 1t meets the issue
Squarely by bringing together white
and colored workers in country
wide movement to throw off to-
gether the yoke of economic bond

enemy.
While the three other parties are
sacrificing the Negro for political
expectancy and crucifying him on a
cross of prejudice, Communist lead
ers are blasting gaps through the
lines of racial prejudice. They are

The Communist Party
A Call to Join Its Ranks
Masses Have Shown Willingness to Fight;
Highest Duty to Join C. P"

port cfle Communist Party, but
must take the further step and join
the Communist Party itself. The
Communist Party is the organiza-
ton of the workers and poor farm
ers. that is organizing the workers
and farmers of this country to de-
stroy the capitalist system and set
up a Workers and Farmers Govern
ment. Building up the Communist
Party means strengthening the
leadership of that organization
which will mobolize the millions
Of American workers and poor
farmers in the struggle against the
capitalist system with all its hor-
rors and miseries.
WORKERS and farmers, Negro
w and white, it is your duty<to
yourself, your family and your
class. to join the Communist Par
ty. Now facing the fourth year of
the crisis with greater misery in
store during the coming winter, 1t is
your highest duty to join the Com
munist Party that we may wage
bitter struggle against the capital
lists who are determined that we
workers and poor farmers shall bear
the burden of the crisis.
CALL TO SOCIALIST
WORKERS
Socialist workers, the treachery
of the Socialist Party is daily be-
coming clearer. The policy of the
Socialist Party Is acceptable to the
capitalist class. Hamilton Fish, one
of the bitterest enemies Of the
working class, speaks with great
friendlineSs of Norman Thomas.
You are members of party that
hates the Soviet Union, that put
Hindenburg into office. that MR.
derS the German workers and peas
ants, that is slaughtering the work
ers OF Spain, that supports Japan
ese Imperialism. Now Is the Elec-
ton Campaign you must take that
step that will ally you with the
revolutionary workers of the world.
Vote Communist! Vote for the
platform Of the Communist Party.
Workers and farmers - Negro
and white, vote the straight Com
munist ticket, Vote for Foster
and Ford. Vote for tho state and
local candidates OF the Commu-
mist Party. Vote for the program
of struggle of the Communist
Party. Join the Communist Party,
your Party. the Party Of the re-
evolutionary workers and farmers.

carrying to the four corners of tbs
civilized world the horrid picture oil
American race prejudice. DuringD
the past twelve years, they haveS
won more significant victories for
the Negro than any other party
since the Civil War.
YOU have only to recall Scots
l boro and Fuel Lee in Maryland.
Laughed at and ridiculed only a
few years ago, they have compelled
the respect and serious considera-
ton of the courts, civic tribunals
and seats of power throughout the
country.
And since it means little, if any
thing, to the Negro or, in fact, the
country whether the Republican or
the Democratic Party wins as long
as both subscribe to the same old
economic system, the only thing
left for the Negro voter to do is to
vote protest and at the same time
help build up new party more to
his liking. We owe it to the Com
munist Party to vote for their can
didates out of sheer appreciation, if
there were no more compelling rea,
sons. 4
MUST STRIKE
OUT
But above all, the time has come
when there must arise Negro
group which must strike out boldly
for place in the sun. 1t must be
a group which will frankly and
above board take the position that,
while they are willing to use every
legal weapon at their command,
they will pursue this place, even if
the road to it leads through the
same revolutionary period which
Self-respecting races of men have
used since the beginning of civilia-
ton.
IF you are interested in supporting
a party which proposes complete
economic, political, and social equa-
lily, and whose election platform
declares categorically for equal
rights for the Negroes and self
determination for the Black Belt,
vote for Foster and Ford
The Ford and Foster Committee
for Equal Negro Rights also invites
you to join with them in their ef-
fort to push this campaign and to.
organize permanent movement
that will bring every thinking mani
or woman of the group behind
such a program.

Although land values have fallen
steadily in the last decade, taxes
have continued to climb. In most
states they absorb from 80 1-3 per
cent TO 40 per cent Of the net re-

Tax levies were s1.4S per 500

HUNDREDS of thousands, yes,
III perhaps more than million
workers, have listened to the mes
sage Of the Communist Party in
the election campaign. Not only
the speakers who have toured the
country and the states, but also the
local speakers of the Communist
Party have inspired hundreds Of
thousands of workers with the mil
liant demands of struggles of the
Communist Party and the deter
mination of the fight against hun
ger, terror and war.
MASSES WILLING TO FIGHT
The workers and farmers thru
out the country have shown that
they are willing to fight. This, they
have backed up, not only with APP
plause at the meetings, but by
struggles that are taking place
throughout the country. They have
shoNn their disgust and indigna-
ton at the actions of the Hoover
government. They show that they
have no faith in Roosevelt who for
four years has been at the head of
the state administration of New
York where the workers and farm
ers are suffering as in other parts
of the country. In Milwaukee,
where the socialists hold power, the
Communist Party has shown in the
election campaign and in the strug-
giles conducted in Milwaukee that
the workers will listen to the pro-
gram of struggle that the Commu-
mist Party brings forward.
THE Negro workers and tenant
farmers OF the South have
shown that they will respond to the
platform of the Communist Party.
Facing brutal capitalist terror they
are unafraid, and joining with the
white workers, have come out In
struggle against the boss class and
the boss parties. More and more
through the leadership of the Com
munist Party, they are learning
that there is one Party that car
ries on the struggle in behalf of Ne
gro rights and against the savage
terror, and that is the Communist
Party. The leadership of the Com
munist Party in the Scottsboro case,
in the Fuel ('Ornhan Jones') Lee
case, and in eli the cases of per-
secution of the Negro workers Of
this country, bringing the Negroes
closer to the Communist Party as
the only Party fighting for full po-
litical, economic and social equality
for the Negroes and for self-deter-
mination for the Negroes in the
Black Belt Of the South.
