Chile Socialist
in New Betrayal

SANTIAGO, Chile.-Colonel Mar
maduque Grove, defeated socialist
candidate for President of Chile, is
up to his old tricks Of trying to de-
ceive the workers with radical
phrases while hobnobbing with the
forces Of reaction.
Mozambique, who became dictator
of Chile last spring with the help of
the workers by promising them an
Incorporating regime of socialism,
turned machine guns on his sup
porters as soon as he was elevated to
power. This resulted in his over

THOUSANDS WAIT

Total Crowd $4,000 At
Communist Rally

NE WYORK.-Thirty- to fourty
Thousand workers turned out for the
final Communist Election Rally and
Celebration of the 18th Anniversary
of the Bolshevik Revolution Sunday
night. Before 7:30 the great hall at
Madison Square Garden seating $4,000
was checked full and at that time
the fire department refused to have
more admitted and had the police
block all entrances.
Even then thousands of workers
swarmed down the streets, many
marching in formation behind waving
red flags. Within a few minutes
49th st. and Eighth Ave. were solid
with crowd estimated at between
$4,000 to $4,000.
They listened for the speeches over
the amplifiers mounted outside. Then
q rain storm broke suddenly. In
spite of the rain, some 5000 were still
listening four hours later to the
speeches and the tlmultuous cheer
ing from within.
why don't you go home; I'd not
stand in the rain if didn't have to, y
said one cop.
1T makes you nervous to see all
of us standing here in the rain does
it not?" replied a drenched worker
and went on cheering Fosters speech

Foster was unable to deliver his
speech, on account of his serious ILL

Chairman Chorles Alexander, Negro
worker and chairman of the meeting

mendous demonstration, hailing the
victories of the Soviet Union, and in

Building the
Daily Worker
BY 1. AMTER

by Il. huh Il EN-
The Daily Worker is the only work
ing class paper in the United States
in the English language. 1t is the
only paper that records the strug-
giles that are growing in the United
States against hunger and war. To-
day in the fourth year of the crisis,
with the misery of the working class
growing by leaps and bounds, it is
of fundamental Importance that the
Daily Worker. become the mouthp' zee
of the masses of workers of this
country.
The bosses of this country pretend
that conditions are improving. I'VE
have reached the bottom of the
crisis they say, land now we are
on the upgrade" This is not true.
On the contrary, outside of short
seasonal increase in employment,
even William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, ad-
mits that by the end of this year,
! unemployment will have increased.
Verse starvation faces the working
lass; more children will die of hun
ger: more workers will be driven to
suicide.
On the other hand, the workers
will fight. The empty promises of
Roosevelt, the probable future pre-
Sident of the United States, will not
satisfy the hunger of the masses.
Promises do not fill stomachs-but
struggle will compel the bosses and
the government to provide unempioy-
ment insurance at the expense of the
government and the employers.
More millions of workers in the
shops, whose wages are now at the
starvation level, face further wage
cuts. More vicious attacks are be-
ing prepared for the working class.
Secretary of Labor Doak promises
that more militant foreign-bor
workers will be deported. More lynch
terror is being prepared against the
Negroes. Mr.. O'Brien, Tammany
candidate for Mayor of New York,
promises more savage police attacks
on the one and half million starv-
ing in the city of New York.
Wall Street Is preparing for war

achievements of the first Five-Year

PREFER PROFITS TO VICTORY

Anarchic capitalism rejoices when
men are killed in its profit wars, and
sorrows when these slaughters stop.
Thus on Sept. 20 when report ar
rived from Brazil that the backbone
of the three months rebellion had
been broken, the headlines of the
capitalist papers we're little mourn
full, because Brazil would be able to
again resume her heavy coffee ex-
port trade and prices would dart
down. Even that oily old apologist
of the capitalists the New York
Times was forced to crack wise over
the incident when on Sept. 80 it
printed that when news arrived at
Rio de Janeiro that the Federal
forces had won great victory and
captured an important coffee center,
the government took look at coffee
prices In the financial column and
ordered the victorious general before

SHOE WORKERS !
ENDORSE MARCH
Union Pledges Full
Support to Jobless

NEW YORK.-Pledging support and
the mobilization of the unemployed
shoe workers for the National Hun
ger March; the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union sent its
endorsement of the National Hunger
March to the National COMMITTEES OF
the Unemployed Councils today.
The endorsement reads: THE Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union; fully endorses the decisions Of
the enlarged session Of the National
Committee of the Unemployed Coun-
ellis of U. S. A. which was held in
Chicago on October II and IL, for
struggle of winter relief and for
Hunger March to Washington on
Dec. 5.
THE workers in the shoe trade are
suffering from the results Of the crisis
as the workers in other industries:
Thousands upon thousands are to-
tally unemployed, many more are
working part time only. The en-
ployed workers are suffering from
wage-cuts of 40 to so per cent. The
Shoe Manufacturers Board of Trade
is driving the shoe workers into STAR
walton. Huge sums of money are
spent for the strike breaking activities
not a penny for the unemployed. This
Board of Trade directs the attacks
against the shoe workers.
I'VE feel that the Unemployed
Councils are the only organizations
which carry on an effective Struggle Of
the unemployed masses.
1.-THE Shoe and Leather Workers In
dustrial Union pledges full support to
the Councils and will mobilize the
unemployed and the employed shoe
workers for a successful mobilization
for the Hunger March.

THE FARM BOARD AND CHINA

Paul Linebarger, legal adviser to
the murderous Chang Kai Shek's
Chinese Nationalist Government is
attempting to negotiate a loan OF
200,000000 ounces of silver from the
United States Government. accord
ing to the New York Times. The
purpose Of the loan is to assist Chi
nese Provincial governments.
Two years ago Lineberger made a
deal for 100000 bushels Of wheat
from the Farm Board, which he said
was the only thing that kept the
Yangtze Valley from going Commu-
mist. The present sought after loan
would do the same trick. In fact, ac-
cording to Linebarger, it would be the
only way that would keep all China
from going Bolshevist in few years.
The silver he seeks is lying idle in
the U. S. Government vaults and,
according to his plan, would be lent
under American supervision to the
local governments.
Thus, when, in 1890, according to
e. H. Wiechens of the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, lin some
parts Of the United States the volume
Of mortgage foreclosures and the
forced sales of farms equaled or
exceeded the number Of voluntary
sales in recent years." the Farm
Board, government organ supposed
to help the farmers, gave aid instead
to Chang Ksi Shek in his blood

nese peasants in their struggle

German capitalists?
There is one leadership for the
workers and toiling masses of this
country-and that is the revolution
airy leadership of the Communist
Party. And the organ of this revo-
lutionary leadership is the Daily
Worker. Therefore the building of
the Daily Worker in the shops and
unions, in the fraternal~ organizations
etc, is a basic task of the workers.
The circulation of the Daily Work
er can be extended ma mold. The
workers of the United States read
the capitalist press because they do
not know about the Daily Worker.
We must make them acquainted with
the Daily Worker-we must make
them active participants in the daily
work and operation of the Daily
Worker. This can be done only if
the workers make the Daily Worker
their paper, write for it,. report on
shop conditions, on strikes, on strug-
giles of the unemployed, on evictions,
on struggles in the unions and fra
ternal organization.
This can be done-it has been done
IN other countries-and in this coun-
try we must Immediately take the
necessary steps.
What is to be done? There must
be enlisted in the work of the Daily
Worker, workers from the shops, un-
ions and fraternaI organizations.

MOSCOW FLOODED
WITH HUMANITY
IN FESTIVE MOOD
AS Workers, Peasants
Celebrate 18th
Anniversary
BY N. BUCHWALD.
European Correspondent Of the
Daily MOrker.l

MOSCOW, Nov. 7.--Today's demon
stration celebrating the anniversary
of the Russian Revolution was greater
than ever. Touring Moscow early in
the morning your correspondent
found the streets at the outskirts, in
the center, everywhere, flooded with
a humanity in festive mood, wearing
decorations, singing in high spirits.
At hundreds of gathering points COL
umns of workers were formed. Despite
the tremendous numbers coming
from every direction, the greatest or
der prevailed, each column arriving
at the scheduled time.
The streets with workers columns
pouring into the Red Square and
other columns leaving, had an over
Whelming effect. The beaming faces
of the workers we're in perfect har-
nony with tn banners and inscrip-
tons.
Toiling Moscow appeared proud of
itself, proud of the leadership of the
FCommunist Party, during the celebra-
ton of the past Is years of self-rule,
of tremendous forward strides in the
Socialist upbuilding.
The decorations of the streets,
squares, ETC., we're magnificent. The
entire chain of streets and squares,
from the Maly Theatre to the Comm
tern Square presented a coordinated
display of the achievements of Social
iSt construction, industrial develop
nlent and collectiviZation of villages.
A life-si2e steamer symbolizing the
Volga Canal and the Moscow River
dominated the scene. Yesterday eve
ning's illumination was inexpressi-
bly, beautiful with light playing re-
markable effects, thrilling beyond
words. Every neighborhood had its
own complete scheme of decoration,
which was not merely beautiful but
living message from the workers rule.
The greatest exhibition in the world
was unmatched in it's content and
living contact with the working mas
ses.
The evening preceding the demon
stration, a festive session of the Mos
COW Soviet took place in the Bolshou
Theatre. Mrs. Ada Wright, mother
of one Of the Scottsboro boys, sat
in the former royal box with Stain,
Kalinin, Voroshilov and others.
Tomorrow numerous celebrations
will be held in Theatres, Clubs and
Hotels. The Moscow celebrations are
on a larger scale characteristic of
those being held throughout the Sow
| let Union.

of the combined Nazi and Socialist
poll.
For the first time since the, spec
tacular rise Of the Nazis, they have
lost their dominant position in East
Prussia. where their chauvinistic an
ti-Polish propaganda formerly won
them thousands of farmers and agri-
cultural laborers' votes.
Reflects Rising Militancy.
The huge Communist gain is a
reflection of the rising wave of mill
fancy among the German working
class The widespread wave OF
strikes against Papen's wage-cuts
that has been spreading over Ger
many, outlawed by the socialist
trade union officials, but under Com
naunist leadership, has demonstrated
to the workers that they can repulse
the attacks of Germanys capitalist
class upon their living conditions
through a resolute, embattled united
front in the factories, mills and
mines. The strike victories achieved
all over the country have strength
ened the self-confidence Of the Ger
man proletariat, and this self-conf1-
dence-as well as their confidence in
the correctness of Communist leader
ship-has made itself felt in the
Reichstag elections.
Hitler, in a post-election state
n1ent, Historically cries that "the
bourgeois parties are driving Ger
many to Bolshevism" In a quite
different sense than Hitler intends
this is true enough.
The German capitalist regime
squeezed in the pincers Of an I'M
paralleled crisis, has had to try to
unload the burden Of that crisis on
to the shoulders of the working class.
But they have underestimated the
growing militancy of the German
proletariat.
After the Hamburg transit strike
betrayed by the Socialist trade
union leaders-there followed the
Berlin transit strike, with 21,000
workers in open struggle against the
trade union and socialist officials,

The capitalist class-and its Hitler
and Socialist allies-will have even
greater reason to shrek in the near
future. for this kind Of "putsch" will
be followed by ever-growing strikes
until this proletarian strike wave
rolls over and completely submerges
capitalist Germany. The German
comrades are to be congratulated on
their resolute leadership of the
working-class struggle in Germany,
and on the increased proletarian
support given to the Communist
Party as reflected in the Reichstag
election returns.

capitalists the H. w. Wilson Pub
fishing Co. came out, in letter to
its employees. with statement that

is to vote for Hoover.
The most significant part of the
statement however is the declaration
that, "those who wish will serve very
useful purpose if they vote for the
socialist candidate" Another part
of the statement makes it clear that
there are no differences between r.
