Vote Communist!

THE threat Of more wage cuts for city civil service e-
ployees is looming again. That is not surprising
It is a fact, which every capitalist newspaper has
carefully and deliberately suppressed that the present
TnEern1ever tax agreement actually guarantees that
ths next CAPITALIST mayor OF the city-nO matter who
Il isi have to raise the subway fare, slash wages,
and cut relief payments than the Tsnrsany
hack, O'Brien. has done.
Robert Mino~, the Communist candidate foF Mayor,
is Tie only one who has day in and day out shouted
that the whole corrupt machinery of each and every
capitalist candidate from OBrien, to LaCiuardis, to
Mckee is geared to carry out the provisions OF the
Ufntern1eyer tax agreement with the Wall Street
bankers.
The very confusion and petty personal backbiting
INTO which the city campaign has descended is Only
anokescreen to hide that fact.
EVERY worker mus have noticed that in all the circus
L fury Of personal backbting now developing in the
New York City election campaign, the real issues vital
to the welfare of the workers have been very neatly
buried.
While Mckee calls La Guardia liar, and LaGusrdia
rsteiates-both with equal iustice-the fundamental
issue OF bread rent relief for the jobless lower taxes
etc, have been completely lost sight of.
1t is not an accident that is happening. 1t is the
dominating purpose Of the election to get loyal
servant of the Wall Street banks into the mayors chair
to the workers it really matters very little which
is finally chosen-and then the capitalist city govern
nent can go ahead with its program OF putting
more taxes increasing the subway fare, cutting
Of civil service ernployees-s to protect the Wall st.
bank loans. .-s
Robert Minor the Communist candidate, is tfls
only one who has consistently, day in and day out
fought to bring into the light Of day the tteup Of the
city government with the Morgan Rockefeller banks
Of Wall street
Minor has asked the question: Why should the
workers and their families starve when the Wall
Street banks are choking with hundreds Of millions
OF dollars in their vaults? Why must tbs City pay
over $100OooOOo to the bankers every year while the
relief to the jobess starving workers is cut to the
bone?
Minor the Communist candidate is tbs only one
Sno has shown that O'Bren, La Gusrdia, and Mckee,
every one has direct ties with the Rockefeller
Wall Street crowd that viii destroy the vecent fare
after the election.
What about relief? La Guardia has promised his
banking supporters that not cent will so to
relief payments Mckee has not bothered to open
his mouth on the subject at all. He has confined
himself to making promises to end BOSS rte4-proT
muses. ridiculous and funny in the light of the
obvious fact that he is the cheapest kind of once
boy for the Tammany Boss Flynn, that the cap
italist press is ashamed to print them too often.
Only Robert Minor, of all the candidates. has
definitely declared that the present Untermeyer tax
agreement will inevitably be repudiated by the workers.
He is the only one who has declared that the huge
plunder that the Wall Street banks get out of the
City must be stopped at once.
Feed the starving iobless by levying heavy taxes
on the rch-that is what Minor has proposed! -
Make the bankers pay for the suffering of the work
Let them pay the rent of the workers Let them
provide for unemployment insurance for all unem-
ployed workers!
The rotten stock structure of the subway companies
must be torn to pieces in order to guarantee the ve-
cent fare, Minor declares.
To vote for Minor means to vote against the Un-
tereyer robbery taxes to safeguard the Ye-cent fare
from the Wall Street bankers to increase relief pay
ments to end the Tammany police brutality against
strikers on the picket lines.
A vote for Robert Minor is vote for the interests
of the working class! Vote Communist
