In another case of violent death
OF livestock through use of the creek
for water facilities. the case was
settled out Of court.
The state bureau Of the sanitary
division sent a letter TO the New
castle mayor in 1890. outlining the
death of the cattle and the circum-
stances.
Manufacturer Is Blamed
1t says: The death of these
cattle pointed toward the presence
of some poisonous substance. The
extreme suddenness indicated that
cyanide might be involved. Inas-
much as it is known that cyanides
are used in the plating and heat
treating departments of the plant
of the Chrysler Corporation, and
that this plant is the only manu-
featuring establishment making use
Of cyanides which discharges into
the creek"
The report continued with an
alyses of the presence OF cyanide

The 1888 report of the same dead

creek resulted in a letter from the
sanitary board of the state to New
castle health authorities and also
proper notification to the ChrysleI
plant.
Officials of the Chrysler plant in
the past have promised TO remedy

Modified Martial Law for

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa, July
20 The kidnapping racket now
sweeping the nation could be
stopped within month, Major
General Smedley D. Butler said in
an interview today.
Let the President of the United
States declare a modified form of
martial law superseding civil
rights and civil courts only in cases
Of gangsters and racketeers-and
we'll soon see the end of the rats
who live on ransom money Butler
told the United Press.
Under Buffers plan of modified
martial law" there would be no
need to call out the armed forces
Of the county.
The President merely would
designate a marshal in each section
affected by racketeers. with power
TO arrest all criminals on sight he
said. Immediately, trials would
be held before a provost court,
which would be conducted like a
military court-martial.'
Would Trap Suspect
The essence of the former marine
generals plan would come when the
racketeer faced the court.
The suspect would be asked to
show how he honestly earned the
money which permitted him TO live
in expensive apartments and drive
high priced cars and when he
couldn't show an honest job for
the last few years he would be sem
fenced automatically to tropical
island for an indefinite sentence"
There would be no appeal. no
high priced lawyers. no long-drawn-
out litigation under the Butler
plan
The only appeal would be to the
President of the United States" he
said
Local and state police forces. for
obvious reasons. are powerless in
combating kidnapings. and federal
authorities are handicapped greatly
by inadequate laws and small forces
OF investigators.
Cleanup in Month Seen
Most kidnapers are either old
time criminals with police records or
bcotleggers and gangsters.
"A real federal force of provost
marshals. operating under the dis
trict marshal, would have little
trouble in bringing in the criminals
and gangsters within a month. And
the action of the provost court
would be swift and sure, uninflu-
enced by political considerations

Strike-breaking by the police with
clubs, tear-gas and injunctions.
This is the policy of all of the po-
litical parties in this election ex-
cept the Communist Party. Never
mind that they say; look what they
do! The Democratic, Republican
Fusion and Mckee tickets are open
ly strike-breaking bankers tickets.
But the Socialist Party? The work
ers who are members of the Social
ist Party are strongly in favor of
the workers cause. But it is other
wise with the leaders. Charles Solo,
mon, candidate of the Socialist
Party for mayor, is an injunction
lawyer He obtained an injunction
against the Miller Market strike
in January, 1880, in which the po-
lice, acting in accord with Solo
! mons injunction against picketing,
murdered the worker Steve Ka-
tovis. This was in order to keep
wages down, and to prevent the
growth of militant union. The
Socialist Party leaders cooperate
and support the Green, Lewis, Du-
binski racketeers, who sell out the
workers. q itt
What is correct policy in city
affairs, from the point of view OF
the workers? No injunctions! Mass
violation of iniunctions! Keep the
police away from struck shopsI And
the Communist Party proposes fur
Their that the city should appro-
nriate funds for strike relief for all
workers who go on strike! Isn't this
proper use Of city funds for the
purpose Of raising the standards of
living of the workers?
This Is an issue of the election
campaign!
Another issue of the campaign is
the wages of city employees. The
Communist Party stands for the
city government to pay the highest
wages to the city employees-real
workers, teachers, clerks, engineers
and other specialists (not salaried
political job-holders). No wage
cuts.

Socialist Party candidate for Mayor
assists Tammany and the bankers in
this robber raid and swindle.
The Socialist Party leaders waste
lot of crocodile tears over the tragic
situation of the unemployed" Yet,
the New Leader" (Sept. 2, 1889
claims that 1913 per cent of the jobless
are now on the municipal rolls"
They thus convey the impression that
90 per cent of the unemployed are
taken care of by relief. But even the
capitalist Welfare Bureau reports that
zone out of every six, or 16 2-3 per
cent. of all the unemployed receive
relief" The Socialist Party campaign
platform favors sufficient" rleief; but
the New Leader" Sept. 16, 1889
calls for the appropriation of a total
of $13,000,000 month for relief. This
is even lower than the sum claimed
! by the bourgeois agency, the United
Neighborhood Houses of New York,
who say, "a monthly grant of $15.-
100000 is necessary for decent care of
those needing relief" Yet this fig
ure is only about Is per cent of the
amount necessary for real relief of the
unemployed workers of the city.
The Socialist Party leaders are a
special help to the bankers because
they make even more radical promises
than Fusion, and presume to talk
in the name of the workers. No
wonder Norman Thomas bitterly COM
plains why Fusion did not come to
them originally, why the Socialist
Party was not given the initiative by
Chadbourne, the Chamber of Com
merce, Merchants Associations, the
Chase National Bank. etc., in blurring
the real issues in the election cam
paign, in distracting the attention of
the masses from the growing attacks
upon unemployed and employed, upon
the living standards of the masses
and attempt to deceive them with
fake issues of honest government"
''clean politics." anti Tammany, etc,
in order to put over the program of
the bankers.
The Communist Party is the only
| party that stands firmly on the prin-
ciple that the provision of adequate
food, clothing and shelter for the I'M
employed, part-ti1ne and poorly paid
workers, and the protection of the
living standards of all the working
people of the city, is the primary is
sue of this election campaign. Only
the Communist Party fights daily
against the bankers program of
starving the unemployed. Only the
Communist Party leads every fight
for relief, against evictions, for plac-,
ing the entire burden of the crisis
upon the rich: the bankers and their
government. The Communist Party
leads the fight for unemployment and
social insurance at the expense of the
employers and the government. The
Communist Party pledges itself and
all of its candidates when elected to
Office, to work to the best of our abil-
ity to carry out the Communist cleo
ton platform of struggle for the needs
and rights of the workers in the As
sembly and Board of Aldermen just
as the Communist Party leads the
daily fight for bread, clothing, shell
ter, for the needs of the workers.

Must Tax Rich to Pay
Jobless Relief
to Masses
BY ROBERT MINOR
Communist Party Candidate for
MayOr.)

A TIME has come when things
n cannot go on in the same way.
A change is necessary.
New York workers to the number
of more than one and a quarter
million are unemployed. This is the
only country in the whole world
where the government refuses even
the slightest responsibility to in
sure the workers against unem-
ployment. In New York City live
the richest billionaires in the world,
whose incomes are counted at tens
of millions per month now during
the depression. But not banker or
trust magnate in New York City
has paid cent of income tax IN
four years. The city government
in the hands of these plundering
bankers rs now cutting down the
miserable pretense of unemploy-
ment relief. Starvation stalks
through the city. Not only hum
dreds of thousands of men and
women are suffering. Babies in
working -class districts are dying
more than twice as fast as they did
four years ago. Hundreds of thou
sands of working class families are
being crushed, broken up. Evic-
lions are pushing them out onto
the streets, or the Home Relief Bu-
reaus are moving them into old
1 condemned houses, cold, windy,
dirty and infested with mice and
vermin. More than $4,000 women
Of our class are sleeping in the
subways for lack of home. And
there are 100000 empty apartments
If this is true, what are the issues
Of the election campaign?
The issues are: Food, clothing
and shelter for the unemployed.
THE Communist Party proposes to
1 make it crime to evict an un-
employed person or his family from
an apartment. We propose that the
City-owned government take over
all vacant apartments owned by
corporations or big landlords, and
put these apartments at the dis
posal of the families of the UNI
employed free of charge.
This is an issue of the election.
HOW about those that have jobs?
ii The employers of New York,
like those of the rest of the coun-
try, have been cutting down wages
for the past four years. Workers
are unable at present wages to
maintain their families even when
working. The cost of living Is go
ing up. o'esA''s S1fi
In the effort to raise wages, or
to prevent further cuts, about 100,-
900 workers are on strike in New
York City today. Experience shows
that the Blue Eagle" does not
raise wages; under the blue Eagle
generally, only those workers get
raises who fight the BLUE Eagle"
The New York administrator of the
NR.A., Grover Whalen, the same
ex-police commissioner who made
the bloody assault against the I'M
employed workers in March, 1880,
has declared that under the MIRA.
the workers no longer have the
right to strike. Only those who are
ready to strike get raises, and only
those can strike who are ready to
fight the N.RA.
But to prevent the raise of wages,
the city judges are issuing injunc-
tions wholesale almost every day.
To defend their elementary politi-
cal rights, the workers must re-
sort to mass violation of injunc-
lions wherever they are issuedi
Down with injunctions! This Is
an issue of this campaign.
WHAT is the policy of the city Of
W New York in regard to wages?

THE school system is being looted.
