carried by the workers, with slo-
gans against the Hoover Starvation
Government, calling upon workers
to fight, were displayed in all three
groups. The workers marched in
pouring rain. They were all soak
ing wet, but they were singing THE
International and Solidarity"
They cheered and called upon
workers to vote Communist; to
come to the November 7th celebra-
ton of the Russian Revolution;
and while they passed the streets,
thousands of workers gathered
from the houses, railroads. shops.
factories, who applauded and
cheered the marching army Of the
workers.
AT RANDOLPH STREET, where
"A there is situated a farmers
market, the farmers cheered the
marchers, expressing their sym
pathy. The marchers were coming
closer to the Loop, and, according
to the bankers organ, The Chicago
Daily News, 1t was one of the long
est parades downtown Chicago ever
witneSSed-a few observers thought
it was the longest and estimated
the marchers at more than $4,000.
Traffic was completely tied up dur
ing the noon hour. At least 100000
loop workers crowded the sidewalks
to watch the marcherS, hear their
shouts and read their banners"
"a FIGHTING ARMY"
When the march came to Michi-
gan Boulevard, the leading traffic
street of the city and the Fifth
Avenue of Chicago, the police at
tempted to shift the marchers from
the street on to the sidewalks, but
they failed. The Chicago Ameri-
can and other boss papers have the
following to say: THE marchers,
however, pushed into the street.
One policeman struggled to push
them over to the sidewalk and drew
a pistol. His action was greeted
with loud laughter as the marchrs
pushed on by and poured into
Grant Park. The masses marching
and those on the streets felt that
this is fighting army and nothing
could stop them in their march
They gathered in Grant Park,
while their delegation of rs was In
the City Hall. The delegation pre-
sented the demands to Mayor Ger
max as the head of the city admin
istration.
THE delegation was led by Herbert
l Newton, Communist candidate
in the First Congressional District
against Negro Republican DePriest.
He was the spokesman for the dele
CATION of rs. In his determined
voice he actually spoke not only
for the $4,000 marchers who elected
the delegation, but for the entire
mass Of unemployed and employed
workers. He presented the de-
mands and demanded an answer
from Mayor Cernak. Mayor Ger
max attempted in a very easy
manner to get rid Of the demands,

Comrade Newton would not be

was not satisfied; they demanded
the mayors stand on other issues
and on unemployment insurance.
The mayor was on the defensive,
while the delegation was constantly
pressing their demands. They told
Cernak that they will explain to
the masses that he is SpurpoSely
pleading "helpleSsness in order to
evade the issue. They reminded
him. that he is mayor and has the
power to put through the demands
of the unemployed, and that he is
not a mere observer. as he pre-
tends to be.
Mayor Cerrnak tried feebly to
fence with the Committee. He
began saying that Newton and

but you were imported also, but
from Czecho-Slovakia, while your
police arrested Nels Kjar and
turned him over to the Immigra-

being deported."
PUT DEMANDS
BEFORE COMMISSIONERS
From the mayor, the delegation
went to the Cook County commits
sioners. They were met by Mrs.
Flemming. She told the delegation
that he heart Is bleeding for the
suffering of the masses, but under
the existing laws not much could
be done. I see no remedy, she said,
for the misery Of the masses until
we have a revolution" The dele
gates insisted that these demands
be placed before the county COM

them and see that they are carried
out. The delegation then went to

THE day he put his mark to an
agreement with Shay Pearson
for the use Of twenty acres, and the
mule and secondhand plough were
paid for, was one Of rejoicing. The
mule was not as young and healthy
as Dee would have liked but he was
the best they could afford. Louise
patched their clothes by the kero-
sene lamp and they did with little
store food that winter, for so much
depended upon finishing the season
clear of debt.
Those were feVerish days at
planting time when the winter
vanished in the mellow warmth of
spring. When perfect stands of
cotton made the long rows vivid
green, Dee ploughed the middles
again to make the beds soft, and
with anxious care they thinned the
luXuriant growths with appraising
eyes. Then the blossoms appeared,
Towering like good omens. The
green bolls speckled, and under the
burning July sun, cracked open
with the smiling promise of money
for their own farm. There would
be- almost a bale to the acre they
told themselves happily.
THE TERROR OF RAIN
But on the very day they went
out for the first picking, 1t
rained.
Fleecy clouds appeared in a sud-
denly overcast sky. Dee's face grew
haggard and he clasped his hands
together as in prayer. Louise
looked up with frightened air as
though seeking help from the
And then it rained.
1t seemed to them that the rain
beat the fields with furious gusts
of hate. Dee sank to the furrow as
though the rain hammering his
cotton to the ground had ham
mered him down, too.
AND as suddenly as it had begun,
n the sky cleared and the sun
shone hot again.
He did not stir. Louise touched
him gently.

she urged. Ain no sense carryin'

ooh, my good Lawd," he said
dazedly.
The cotton had been whipped
to the ground or hung detected
Iy, their whiteness stained brown
from the wet leaves. The crop
was ruined. They would be lucky
to get third of what 1t would
have brought.
"Dey1l be mo- pickin's," Louise
said encouragingly.
There was only one consolation:
the lord who gave him his children,
a helpful wife and the strength to
work must have had a good reason
to do that to him. Maybe he had
been so busy ploughing and chop
ping and dreaming that the lord
thought he was becoming too indie
pendent and took that way to re-
mind him that he was jealous

forgot was charged against him
and he had demanded a settle
ment. The lord kept mighty care
full accounts.
Then, in the bleak winter days,
the mule became sick.
Dee slept in the barn to attend
his Z slightest need, but nothing
seemed to help. That late Decem-
Der night when he returned to the
cabin where the lamp with its
smoking chimney threw his shadow
across the room, his face told the
story. Louise was waiting, wrapped
in a blanket and huddled in the
old rocker near the stove. Twice
she had been to the barn, but when

Socialists Main Props of Capitalist Rule

In these bulletins the big eXpI0ters speak frankly
problems of politics and economics In issues No 72 and
70, September Is and 20 1882, the letters state:
The problem of consolidating the bourgeois regime
in postwar Germany generally determined by the fact
that the leading bOurgeosie who have control of the
ona economy have become too small in order to uphold
their rule alone They require for this rule if they do not
wch to rely the extremely dangerous of pure
~ military exercise of force, alliance with strata which
dc net belong to them socially but which render them the
indispensable service of anchOrng their rule in the people
and thereby being - actual and final bearers of this rule

Chief Danger to the Rule of Capital


"The necessary condition for any social recOnsOlida-
ton of bourgeois rule possible Germany after the war;
is the splitting of the workers movement. Any united
workers movement springing up from below must be re-
votionary and this rule would not be able to hold out
against it for long not even with the of military
power"
HERE the capitalists quite plainly the chief danger to
the rule of capitalism the united front of the probe
arat This confirms what the Communists have never
tired of telling the masses the capitalist class can be de-
fcated only by the proletarian united front.
The letters follow with this damning indictment Of the
Socialists:
In the first reconsideration of the bOurgeOse
postwar regime the from 1924 to l9293O the
split in the working class founded the achievements

democracy capitalized the revolutionary upsurge Thus,

The organization, recently formed
for the purpose Of trying to find

is increasing rapidly in membership,
petition now being circulated hav-
ing been signed already by nearly
400 persons.
A committee from the associa-

"Not A Poor Mans Party"

Tn the 1923 election campaign the RepuDlcan
party was claiming everything IN the way Oh pros
nerv as the result of the incumbency OF the party
during the preceding eight years. Some OF the CLAIMS
n this resnec were set forth in full page advertise
nens in the newspapers One of these advertisements
i made the subject Of an editorial in the Providence
r. L. News-Tribune, under the caption, whats IN
Your Pot?' as follows:
"Do YOU remember when the republican party
was claiming everything in sight in the way Of pros
nerity? Possibly not altogether and SO you may be
interested to read the following which IS part OF
full page advertisement printed on behalf OF the HooV
er candidacy four years ago:
The Republican party isn't Poor Man Party.
Republican prosperity has erased that degrading
phrase from Our political vocabulary.
The Republican party is equality party-oppor-
tunity's party-democracys party, the party OF ma
tona development, not sectional interests-the i'm
partial servant of every state and condition In the
Union.
Under higher tariff and lower taxation, America
has stabilized output employment and dividend rates
Republican efficiency has filled the workingman S
dinner pail-and his gasoline tank besides made
telephone, radio and sanitary plumbing standard
household equipment. And placed the whole nation In
the silk stocking class.
During eight years Of Republican management,
we have built more and better homes erected more
skyscrapers passed more benefactory laws and more
laws to regulate and purify immigration inaugurated
more conservation measures, measures to stand
ardize and increase production expand export mark
ets and reduce industrial and human junk piles than
in any previous quarter century.
Republican prosperity is written on fuller wage
envelopes written in factory chimney smoke, written
on the walls Of new construction, written in savings
bank books written in mercantile balances and writ
ten in the peak value Of stocks and bonds.
Republican prosperity has reduced hours and IN
creased earning capacity sienced dscontent put the
proverbial "chcken in every pot. And car in every
backyard to boot.
It has raised living standards and lowered living
costs.
It has restored financial confidence and enthus-
iasn1, changed credit from rich mans privilege to a.
utility generalized the of timesaving de-
vices and released women from the thro Of domestic
drudgery.
It has provided every county in the country with
its concrete road and knitted the highways Of the
tion into unified traffic system.
Thanks to Republican administration, farmer,
dairyman and merchant make deliveries in less
time and at less expense, borrow cheap money to
refund exorbitant mortgages, and stock their pas
lures. ranges and shelves
The News Tribune then says:
"When YOU have read all this cut it out, paste it
in your scrapbook and compare it with what will be
said on Mr. Hoovers behalf this year.
"Above ALL compare it with what you are able to
put in your pot, in your garage or in your bank
