wage disputes, strikes and struggles
Of the workers against the suppress

taken up as issues Of the election

the major features of the election
activities.
Fight jim Crowism
IAN important feature of the
election campaign, will be the mo-
bilization of the laboring masses,
of whatever race or color, in a di-
rect struggle to break down and
destroy the "Jim Grow" system of
segregation and discrimination
against the Negro population.
Under the rule of Tammany
Hall the forces of the criminal
underworld are modified after the
fashion of Mussolini and Hitler for
violence against the working class
in protection of class privileges and
wealth. The development of fascism
in America is shown by the cold
blooded murder Of the worker

der gang with the full protection
of the New York police, while
almost at the same moment the
Tammany authorities paraded
through the starving city to give a
costly official reception to the Fas-
cist gunman, Italo Balbo, whose
hands drip with the blood of Ital-'
ian workers.

"T'he Republican Party, the other

ton OF New York can gain nothing

The Socialist Party Role
''The Socialist Party differs from
the Democratic and Republican
Parties chiefly in the fact that it
tries to secure the support of the
working class for the capitalist sys-
tenn. The Socialist Party, while
making a plea for support of the
laboring masses and misusing the
name of Socialism, has exposed it
self as the third capitalist party.
The Socialist Party leaders are
organizers of breaking, and
supporters of the bankers against
the demands of the unemployed.
"The Socialist Party leaders, at
the beginning of the economic crisis
declared themselves against unem-
ployed insurance against "the
doleD, and only now, when the
masses of workers are fighting for
it in increased numbers, pronounce
themselves in favor of it in order
to avoid losing their followers. But
at the same time the Socialist
Party leaders betray their follow
ers in the working class by striv-
ing to prevent the unity of the
workers in struggle for unemploy-
ment relief - absolutely opposing
and sabotaging all efforts to unite
the various unemployed organiza-
tons and to carry on a united
struggle.
Even while claiming to stand
for unemployment insurance, the
Socialist Party, through its leader,
Norman Thomas, made an open bid
to the bankers of Wall Street to be
allowed to share the government
Of the city of New York in a
fusion scheme with independent
Democrats and the Republican
Party, which could only mean the
implied promise to join in protect
ing the Wall Street bankers. against
the demands of the unemployed
masses and the workers whose
wages are under attack.
