Green Calls for Workers
to March! Against What?

A warning of the Trade Union
Unity League, contained in a recent
statement calling on workers to take
Labor Day away from the A. F. L.
bureaucracy and make it day Of
class struggle, has already been very
fled. That warning was that the
reactionary officialdom Of the ALL.
while singing the praises Of the policy
Of surrendering wages, hours and sor-
king conditions to the employers
control, would at the same time be
more subtle this year than gefore.
1t can't wholly fly in the face Of
starvation Of such huge million
masses as never starved before.
Now we see President william
Green Of the AFL. issuing his state
ment on Labor Day Here is a sample
paragraph:
Because feel 50 keenly so in
tensly, the tremendous significance
of the problems with which we as
a nation and we as an organized
labor movement are confronted,
view the approach Of Labor Day,

under the stress and strain Of the
trying years since 1923, may Iose

WORKERS JURY
EXPELS SACHS
Ousted from Y. C. L.
for White Chauvinism

NEW YORK.-A Jury of Young
white and Negro workers, at a mass
trial of white chauvinism THURSDAY
night, unanimously decided to ex-
pei from the Young Communist
League, Herman Sachs, member of
the Yorkville Section. The charge of
which Sachs was found guilty was
the active spreading of inperialist
ideas of white superiority and race
hatred in the ranks of the League.
The jury decided that Sachs was rot
ten with this vicious boss poison.
with which the bosses strive to di-
vide the working class and set white
and Negro workers fighting against
each other.
Comrade Israel Amter Commu-
mist candidate for governor of the
state of New York, acted as prose-
cutor. Sachs conducted his own de-
tense and convicted himself out of
his own mouth. He advanced the op-
portunist and completely erroneous
theory that the Negro question is
not a major problem of the Ameri-
can working class, but only a very
minor problem to which the revolu-
tionarV workers need not pay much
attention.
He further exposed his complete
domination by bourgeois anti-work-
ing class ideas by declaring that Ne
groes should stick to themselves
Negro speakers should speak only in
Negro neighborhoods, because, he
argued, if the Party puts up a Negro
speaker in white neighborhood, the
white workers will be antagonistic"
and the Party will close votes"
Amter pointed out that if Sachs
bourgeois ideas were tolerated in the
revolutionary movement, unity would
never be achieved between the Negro
and white workers Amter denounced
sachs ideas an ddeclared them in
complete opposition to the funda-
mental program of the Communist
Party and the Young Communist
League on the Negro question. and
recommended expulsion of Sachs
without any conditions for re-admis-
sion. The recommendation was unan-
lmously accepted by the jury and
applauded by the workers present.
immediately following Sachs ex-
pulsion from the League, a member
OF the renegade Lovestone group,
recognizing in Sachs fellow traitor
to the working class, sought him out
and got his application for adnis-
sion into the renegade outfit.

Urge Protests on
Ruegg Sentence
A n t il m p erial lis t
League Denounces
Outrage

NEW YORK.-The Imperial
ist League of the United States is
sued a statement yesterday on the
sentencing to life imprisonment of
the Rueggs by the bloody Marking
government. The statement follows
in part: 1.-THE recent sentencing to
life imprisonment of Paul and Ger
trude Ruegg by the Marking gov
eminent under the orders of the
leading imperialist nations was one
Of the most outrageous acts of sup
preston carried on by the world i'm
perialists against the revolutionary
movement since the murder of Sacco
and Vanzetti and the imprisonment
Of Mooney and Billings.
1.-THE Anti-Imperialist League pro-
tests most vehemently against this
terror of the Marking government.
The League holds the United States
government, as we'll as the British,
French and japanese governments,
responsible for this atrocious crime
committed under their instigation.
1.-THE Anti-Imperialist League calls
on all workers organizations in the
United States to send protest reso-
lutions to the Chinese Legation in
Washington and to the Chinese con-
sulates in their respective cities"

Then he goes on to urge mass
marching, meetings, demonstrations
Of the power Of Labor. It sounds
something like a call to arms-but
there is something lacking. What is
lacking any wage cut, or unemployed

minute.
Green calls for "highpurpose"-

he says He does not call for war
on wage cuts. He does not call for

and relief. He does not call for work.
ers' control of the unions. He does
not call for equality for the Negroes.
He does not call for struggle against
imperialist war. These are the strug-
giles the Trade Union Unity League
carries on.
Green's subtlety consists in this:
that he defends wage cuts, unempIoy.
ment, union racketeering, Jim Crow
ism and imperialist war-by ignoring
them. He calls Brothers, let us

you enlist under him in a war against
an unknown enemy-but whatever it
is, it is your enemy.

International President Lewis and
his district administration in Indiana
are openly in favor of the cut. The
bulk Of the delegates represented
Illinois, where q strike has been
going on for three weeks now against
a wage cut of 10 per cent agreed to
by U. M. w. A. International and
district officials after the miners had
twice voted it down on referendum.
Enthusiasm was high for struggle
against the cuts, and against Lewis
and District President Walker Of
Illinois district.
Cheers For /. L. d.
William Browder, representing the
International Labor Defense, received
a tremendous ovation when he ad-
dressed the conference, offering the
services of the I. L. D. to defend
arrested strikers.
A rank and file miner present
moved that the I. L. D. take up the
defense of all arrested men, an at
tempt to prosecute the Franklin
County officials for their murderous
machine-gun attacks on marching
miners and picket lines, which has
already resulted in the death of two
miners and wounding Of many
others.

concentrated attack of lies and

Ansbury went to the limit, repeat

tense, although the story has been
many times blasted by publication Of

many times proved that the !. L. D.

provided the only real defense in the

fender of the Scottsboro boys

but voted for motion to refer the
question Of defense and relief to the
policy committee.
Ansbury had declared the I. L. D.
and Workers International Relief TO
be purely Communist undertakings
and trying to split the miners" He
did this in the face Of the fact that
the only relief so far in Illinois coal
fields was sent by the w. l. r., and
that the Communist Party has off,
cially declared that it proposes mill
fancy in the strike, rank and file
control, but supports the strike any
way, which is the exact opposite Of
splitting the strike
Musteite Tactics
Attempts were made by Musteite
leaders to make the formation Of
new union the central point of the
conference, instead of winning the
strike.

100000 Workers in Soviet Union
Provided With NeQv Modern Homes

During the last four years 2,50o,000
workers in the Soviet Union have
been provided with homes in newly
built modern houses. In the same
period millions of workers have been
flung out Of their squalid homes in
capitalist countries owing to their
inability to pay high rents.
Plan to Further Increase Housing
Area
The housing problem in the Sow
let Union is however by no means
satisfactorily settled In the same
period the number Of town jewellers
in the Soviet Union increased from
10 to 27 millions and by 1888 it is
expected to increase to 48 millions
The housing plans aim therefore to
increase the housing area available
from 1876 millions square meters to
286 million square meters which
means that the housing area will be
more than doubled. From 16 TO
18 billions are to be invested to this
end.
Matchmaking Building Industry
The building industry is to be
mechanical to an increasing extent
in order to cope with the enormous
task before it, for the housing prob
lem is one Of the most complicated
problems facing the Soviet Union.
From the beginning of the war
throughout the civil war and inter-
vention, and during the first phase
of reconstruction practically nothing
was done to alleviate the housing
problem.
During the war, civil war and inter-
vention enormous housing areas were
destroyed, and during the first phase
of reconstruction there were even

HOLD HUGE ANTI
WAR MEET, PARIS
Prof. Dana Exposes
US. War Mongers

PARIS, Sept, AIN the largest de-
monstration held here since the ire
mendous, Sacco-Vanzetti protest ac-
tons, thousands of French workers on
Saturday night demonstrated their
hatred of imperialist war and their
iron determination to defend the
Chinese People and the Soviet Union.
At an early hour, thousands of
workers began pouring into the huge
Sale Butler which was soon packed
to capacity, while thousands who
could not get in gathered in the
streets. These workers were brutally
attacked by the military and police
and fought back militantly. Several
policemen were hurt. Over fifty Of
the anti-war demonstrators were ar
rested, but were later released. The
police attacks spread to the hall
where the assembled thousands de-
Tended the meeting, which was then
permitted to continue.
The speakers included Professor
Henry Wadswprth, Longfellcw Dana,
one Of the American delegation to the
World Congress Against War which
was recently held in Amsterdam, who
dulated:
"The United States government,
at the orders Of capitalism, is pre-
pairing for war. American ships are
carrying munitions as far as Japan
munitions which will be used
against the workers all over the
world"
The meeting unanimously adopted
a resolution denouncing the hideous
attempt by the American imperialist
to burn the nine innocent Scottsboro
Negro boys.

Epidemics Grow in Phila. AS
Result of Starvation
324 Cases of Infant;le Paralysis in August
(By a Worker Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Unemploy-
ment and starvation are resulting in
epidemics here that increase daily.
During August 324 cases Of infantile
paralysis are admitted by municipal
health officials, with 35 of the chill
dren already dead of the disease. The
officials claimed the pools were over
crowded, and ordered the pools more
elaborated than heretofore.
Malnutrition is not offered as a
possible reason by these capitalist
officials.
Typhoid fever has also broken out
here as result of the conditions.
In the suburbs surrounding Phila-
delphia conditions are even worse,
especially in the small towns in

openly approves the role Of American
imperialism in the armed interven-

This is the clear import of the an
nouncement that Secretary Of the
Navy Adams has approved the recon-
mendations of the Board of Awards
of the Navy that the date for issu-
ance of the victory medal, the World

Admits Intervention
1t was the American forces in

Guardists in the attempt to break
the backbone of the proletarian revo-
luton. Now, with the imperialiss

government has abandoned its policy
of refusing to admit that United
States forces were engaged in inter
vention. 1t intends to honor men,
bers Of the forces sent to fight
against the establishment of the first
workers and peasants government.
Previous to Adams action, only
members of the military service who
served between the dates of April 6,
1917, and Nov. II, 1918, were eligible
for the award of the victory medal
The government thus kept up the
pretense that American forces were
not engaged in the intervention
against the Soviet Union.
Now however, the official publicity

the navy press room, admits that
