SOCIALISTS IN THE CLASS
STRUGGLE

In Birkenhead, scene Of the recent
huge unemployment demonstrations
in England, the Communist ticket in
the municipal elections was headed by
Comrade Rawlings, an iron-molder,
who has been in Jail awaiting trial
since September 18th following the
demonstrations.
One of his opponents on the Labor
Party ticket was Alderman Mrs Mary
Ann Mercer, Justice Of the Peace and
former Lady Mayor of Birkenhead.
This Labor Party light" was one OF
the justices on the bench who refused
to grant gail to Rawlings and the
other workers arrested in Birkenhead

they can always be depended upon to

In the House Of Commons. Neville

How are you to compare the costs
where there are no overhead charges
in the shape of interest on capital, in
vestments on land, etc, as in ordinary
trading? 1t is possible under the Rus
sian system to ignore various items
Of expense which must be taken into
account by ordinary traders"
In other words in the Soviet Union
there are no landlords getting rent
no capitalists and shareholders draw
ing interest, none Of the burdens or
industry that are the very blood
of capitalism. This is so much moro
ecient than the capitalist form

Georgia Negroes,
Beware! State to
Build TWo Roads

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 9. - A new
terror drive against Negroes is eX-
pected with the announcement that
the construction of two new roads
in the Augusta area is contemplated
by the State Highway Board.
Georgia's roads, which various ca
pitalist ballyhoo organizations point
to with so much pride, are built by
unpaid prison labor consisting mostly
of Negroes on chain gangs. Many
Of these Negroes are unemployed
workers, picked up on vagrancy" or
other fake charges. The horrible
conditions in the prison camps of
this state where prisoners, especi-
ally Negroes, are tortured and muir
dered, is exposed in the book by
John L. Spivak, Georgia Nigger"
which the Daily Worker is now pub
Mshing serially on page 4.
In the construction Of one of the
new roads, federal funds (probably
those of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation), will be sought, it was
announced by j. w. Barnett, chair
man of the State Highway Board
The r. c. F, is composed of both
republicans and democrats, and both
of the two major capitalist parties
are Fundamentally supporters Of the
