SAVIORS OF THE BOSSES
by Worker Correspondent

BOLIVAR, N. Y.-One recent eve
ming I listened to three different So
cialist speakers in Olean, N. ", and
their line of social reform is but a
way of rescuing the old parties, by
misleading the masses.
They lay great stress on the ac-
complishments of Milwaukee, OF
course, never making any insinuation
of unemployment demonstrations
where participants have been dubbed
or Jailed for asking for relief.
Never once in the evening talk
did any of them mention the inhu-
man discrimination and exploitation
of the Negro workers, nor did they
in any shape protest against depor-
tations of the foreign born. Here
chauvinism was quiet in evidence.
Mr., Hoffman, referring to a trip as
delegate to Milwaukee, told of how
they met in fine, deliberately fur
nished room.
To hear them tell of the Social
lists and A. F. of L. working hand in
hand in Milwaukee was enough to
disclose their affihation with the
capitalist system of strike breakers
they preten dto fight. No wonder
the police never modest them, as they
do the coal miners or the starving
farmers of the West. These people
want real relief from their misery
while the socialists desire the masses
to starve in silence. II. A. S.

1000 BRIDGEPORT
WORKERS MARCH
Mayor Hides From I'm
employed
fBx a Worker Correspondent

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-Over 1000
workers participated recently in q
hunger march and demonstration
The march was from the Plaza to
the City Hall, where the workers
found the whole armed force of the
city concentrated around the City
Hall.
A delegation Of ten was elected to
present the demands of the Bridge
port unemployed to the mayor. When
the committee tried to enter the city
Hall, they found their way blocked
by police with the order that a COM
mittee of three only could go in and
no women on the committee.
The delegation went in to find
Mayor Buckingham conveniently alb
sent.
The Unemployed Council therefore
decided to present these demands at
the meeting of the Common Council
which was held on Thursday, Sept
9Th at 8 D. m. The city hunger march
will be there to demand immediate
action.
There is especially great interest in
the demand to stop the eviction OF
unemployed families which is in
creasing daily and in which the So
cialist sheriffs play prominent part.
In the last few weeks Hoover
vile of quite some size sprung up.
All the politicians, the socialists, in
Guided, keep quiet about it.

struggle.
Plan Big Offensive.
1t is reported that the anti-Japa-
nese forces will open a big offensive
On Sept. Is, the date on which Japan
plans to extend formal recognition to
her puppet .Manchoukuo state. In
the meantime, the volunteer and par
tisan forces are continuing their
daring raids on Mukden and other
strategic centers. Railway service
remains completely disrupted.
A specially heavy mobilization of
volunteer forces is reported occurring
along the Mukden- Haicheng Railway
and in the vicinity of Yung-pen-
Chang. Sharp fighting is taking
place at ANITA, Hailung and Tunhua
and south of Taonan.
Anti-Imperialist Fight Effective.
The upsurge of the national revo-
lutionary war is taxing the japanese
military resources and has caused a
delay in the Japanese plans to push
the invasion of Jehol Province and
to attack the Monaghan Peoples Re-
public. In addition to rushing troop
reinforcements to Manchuria, the
Japanese are increasing their efforts
to bride certain unreliable Chinese
generals who are now trying to adj
vance their personal interests by
coming forward as leaders of the
national revolutionary movement.

GILLESPIE, Ill, Sept. 7.-Only
1000 of the $4,000 miners in South
ern Illinois are working. There is a
strong strike sentiment and strong
sentiment among the rank and file
for a new mass march on Franklin
County. Enthusiasm is high among
the miners in the main strike CEN
ters: Springfield, Taylorville, Peoria,
Gillespie and Belleville.
But the leadership of the new

ence Sept. 3, is cIamping down on
the strike enthusiasm.
Terrorized In Franklin.
The miners of Franklin County
are anxious to drop their tools and
join the struggle against the Is per

The slogan of Pat Ansbury, the

COMMUNISTS In
DEBATE WITH
BILL THOMPSON
Expose Republicans
Jim-Crowism and
Discrimination

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 7. Ex-
mayor Thompson of Chicago, sub
stituted for ex-governor Len Small
of Illinois in the debate before 1000
Chicago workers, many of them Ne
groes, in Washington Park, Sunday.
The Republican Party spokesman
talked for only a few minutes, try
ing to say he and his party had
done something for the Negroes of
Chicago during the brutal attack on
them in the so-called trace war"
several years ago. He did not eX-
plain the Republican National Con-
vention's Jim Growing and exclusion
Of Negro delegates, or the failure of
the Republican Party to do any
thing against the wave of lynching
in the South.
Thompson was followed by John
Williamson, of the Communist Elec-
ton Campaign Committee, by Poin-
dexter, a Negro worker and Com
munist candidate for congress, and
Leonides Mcdonald, a Negro worker
and Communist candidate for gov
ernor.
These held the crowd, intensely
interested, while they pointed to the
Republican Jim Crowism, the Re-
publican refusal to stop lynching
through it's control of the federal
government, and the Republican
wage cutting and starvation of the
jobless, Negro and white both, but
worse for the Negroes.

But Ansburys policy committee
went further. 1t ignored entirely the
plans of mass pieketing in Colterville

Jerry Allard, the Trotskyite, inspired
the choise of committee of five,

quest the right peacefully to proceed

Other members of the committee

Food Production in
USSR Increased 6,5
Per Cent i'm 6 Months

The Soviet food industry increased
it's production by 6.5 per cent during
the first six months of this year,
ccordinf to a capitalist press dis
patch from Moscow.
The increase was, however, regard
ed as unsatisfactory by D. Levitin,
member Of the Commissariat of
Supply, who said that the plan for
1882 called for a production exceed
ing by So per cent the production
of 1891.
With unmerciful feminist self crit
icism the Soviet official attributed

materials and carelessness in taking

SEPTEMBER OPENS
WITH ANEW WAVE
OF BANK FAILURES
10 Idaho Banks Close
On Sept. 1; Tie Up
Workers Savings

Right in the face of Hoover's bra
zen lie about the financial crisis be-
ing over and economic recovery being
at present under way, bank failures
continue to increase robbing thou
sands Of workers of their hard-earn-
ed savings.
, While in August, bank failures
amounted to 80, September opened
with the suspension of ten banks as
the First National Bank of Idaho
collapsed on the first day of the
month. This suspension tied up all
the workers savings amounting to
millions. The exact number of work.
ers affected by the failure of the
First National Bank of Idaho is not
known, but it is estimated That it is
very large.
A Boise capitalist paner printed an
editorial entitled IS .dy, Boisel'
stating that the failure of the First
National Bank in Boise delivers a
crushing blow to the entire financial
structure of Idaho. The editorial,
however, cynically calls upon the
workers to forget about their hard
earned savings.
Human hearts were as kind and
firesides were as bright when there
was no such thing as the dollar .
Let us not lose sight of the truly
valuable things of life because our
dollars are tried up or even if we
have lost some of Them
Senator Walcott admitted that "the
cause of the bank failures has been
the practical forcing of small cor
respondent banks by large city banks
to subscribe to securities which had
been advanced to dizzy heights by
pool operations" And yet some sec
tons of the capitalist class spread
the lie that Red whispering" acm-
paigns are responsible for the bank
crashes.
