atmosphere of the country It is perhaps edifying
lat this time to know that president has been
chosen who recognizes the first economic principle
that the soil is the basic support of all peoples.
Although president-eect Roosevelt is an Fastener,
university graduate, he represents the sentiment
OF the great agricultural regions OF the United
States.
Roosevelt's inaugural should mean much to the
smaller communities and the rural neghborhoods.
His apparent sympathy with those who live away
from the stirring life of the big cities will mean
much to the smal-town merchant and the farmer.
With the declared avowal of "NEW DEAL"
business conditions will undoubtedly pick up and
livery individual will benefit. But even Roosevelt
cannot accomplish the task without aid.

The judges Of New York City are

scheme to the effect that all strikes
are prohibited. AS result of this
we have seen judges who support
Mayor O'Brien,. Mckee and Fusion
issuing the same kind Of injunctions
against trade unions. The only rea-
son that the Socialist leaders were
not involved is that they no longer
possess any judgeships in New York.
It is also necessary for the workers
in New York to remember that Mr..
Solomon, the Socialist lawyer and
candidate for A1a.J--', was the injunc-
| ton lawyer against the Food Work
ers' Industrial Union, in the struggle
which led to the murder of Steve
Katovis.
In the case of the Progressive Table
Co. it was the candidate for Mayor
on the Communist ticket Robert
Minor, who led the picket line in
violation of the injunction, in line
with the policy of the revolutionary
trade unions and the Communist
Party that the best way to defeat
injunctions is through mass VIOLA

The Communist candidate for the
Board of Aldermen is Ben Gold, lead

feated injunctions, police terror and
all the powers of the employers and
succeeded in establishing conditions
for the furriers including per cent

The defeat Of the injunctions used

TALLY cut; clothing for the children

dimensions, that the bourgeois poll
ticians are forced to make some
gesture, at least, Of alarm and pro-
mise to take some steps to improve
this condition.
However, we have seen that this
condition will not be improved by the
calling of conferences. This condi-
ton will not be improved by Tam
many or by the Fusionists, McKees
or Socialist Party. They offer no con-
crete measures of struggle to attain
better conditions for working class
children. At best, they make empty
promises, which will be forgotten i'm

.Injunctions
By ANDREW OYERGAARp

During the last three months. when
New York workers were on strike for
higher wages and better conditions,
they were not only met with the most
increasingly bitter attacks by the
police and the bosses gangsLers, but
the judges of Tammany Hall and the
Republican Party issued more in
functions than ever before.
Over 100 injunctions have been
granted against strikers, primarily
against the revolutionary trade unions
affiliated to the Trade Union Unity
Council.
In the case Of the Food Workers
Industrial Union, the old injunction
granted in 1929 TO the Restaurant
Association is being dug up, and thus
the union is prohibited from even
starting a strike.
Over 40 injunctions have been is
sued against the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union, in most
cases under the excuse that it is a
Communist union" This is also the
case with the injunction against the
Furniture Workers Industrial Union,
leading the strike Of the workers in
the Progressive Table Co.
A. F. OF L. Local Unions Facing
Same lnjunCtiOns
Not only the revolutionary trade
unions are singled out. The injunction
granted by Judge Strong against the
Bakery Workers Local Of the A. F..
Of L. is just as sweeping and states
that "two people walking up and down
the streets constitute a nuisance and
can easily result in violence"
On the basis of this the injunction
was granted, which proves that while
the main attacks are against the
revolutionary trade unions, the bosses
and Tammany Hall agents will only
be satisfied when they destroy all
trade union organizations, and when
ever an A. F. of L. organization
shows some sign of miIitancy the
capitalist courts will not make de-

Tammany Hall, running the ad-
sa3nistration Of New York City for
fears, has done nothing to improve
the conditions Of the children of the
working class inside Of school, or out
side OF school. Under the administra-
ton of Tammany He'll, not only has
child labor been ON the increase, but
all the conditions making for child
larbor reduced income to family,
little or no relief, higher living costs
have become more acute. And Tam
many gangsters and police do not
stop at using violence and terror
against boy bootblacks, If these
starved kids fail to pay graft.
Under the pretext of cutting
down" administration expenses, the
public school system has been hard
est hit. AS g result, the overcrowding
this year is terrible Teachers have
from forty to fifty children or more
Many schools have as high as fifty
four children in a classroom. Outside
Of the physical discomforts, it is i'm
possible for the teacher to effectively
handle such large number of chill
dren. For workers children in the
city we want smaller classes. We
want new schools, we want sanitary
conditions in the schools, and we
want the assignment Of every teacher
in New York to classes. In many
schools the class rooms and play
grounds are so overcrowded with
the squeezing of three shifts into one
school-that there is no place for
children to eat lunch, or have play
ground room. Every available space
is converted into classroom. This
is the line of the Tammany admins
tration.

nothing TO insure an accurate count,
and a Democratic inspector at Cne
same polling place saying that he had
turned the task of reading the totals
from the machines over to an I'M
identified watcher"
On April 4, 1888, Morris Abrams,
confidential secretary to Representa-
tive Samuel Dickstein, Democratic
Congressman who is now leading an
"anti-Nazi' investigation, was in
dicted for alleged conspiracy to mis-
count votes in the 4th election dis
trict Of the 4th Assembly district in
the last elections. At the same time
Lawrence Buckner, Democratic chair
man, and Benjamin Wallach, Repub-
hcan inspector from the same dis
trict, were also indicted on charges
Of falsely counting and certifying to
the votes cast in that district.
Thus we see that the Republicans
and Democrats work together, steal
ing votes, sharing them between each
other, BUT DOING THIS AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE COMMUNIST
VOTERS.
We must be on our guard against
such practices in this election. The
Communist Party will undoubtedly
double its vote this year and the Re
publican and Democratic election in
spectors and officials have already
planned to steal thousands of Com
nunist votes. We must redoubIe our
efforts to safeguard our votes.
In the Harlem section especially,
where the Negro masses are turning
more and more to our Party, strong
attempts will be made to cheat the
Negro workers out of their votes.
Here we must especially watch the
polls in every election booth.
C. P. Deputies With Power of Arrest
For the first time In its history we
have achieved and succeeded In get
ting the right for the Communist
Party to have its own Special Deputy
Attorney Generals. There will be a
group Of over fifty attorneys directly
representing the Communist Party
with POWER TO ARREST any
fraudulent person In a polling booth.
Our watchers need only call the
Communist Campaign Headquarters
on the phone in case Of trouble and
we will Immediately dispatch an At
torney General representing us, who
if necessary, will arrest the Tam
many or Republican cheater and
safeguard our Communist votes,
Volunteer AS Watchers
Comrades, friends and sympa-
thizers-volunteer as watchers for
election day, safeguard the Com
munist vote, and in this way save
the Communist Party not only from
losing thousands of votes, but en-
able it to have counted the thou
sands more that will be cast for it.
There will be general meeting of
all volunteer watchers for the Com
munist Party at Irving Plaza, 18th
Street and Irving Place, at 8 pm,
on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 1.
You are urged to call there to receive
final instructions and watchers Gre
dentials and to meet personally the
Special Attorney Generals, who will
also give you more information.

Socialist Leaders Unite With
apitaliSts-SabOtage United
Front of Workers
True to their role as the last re-
serve of capitalism, the Socialist lead
ers split the ranks of the workers,
and sabotage every struggle for the
needs Of the workers. Time and time
again the Communist Party turned
to the Socialist Party with an urgent
appeal for united action. Each time
the Socialist Party leaders turned a
deaf ear to the united front plea Of
the Communists.
The Socialist Party leaders refused
to enter united front Of struggle
against Hitler fsscism. They have
expelled whole branches Of the Young
Peoples Socialist League and 8. p.
for participating in Joint actions with
the Communists. While they are
against the united front with the
revolutionary workers organizations,
the Socialist leaders are always ready
to cooperate with the capitalists and
their police. Thomas complains that
'if the Fusionists mean business, why
didn't they take up fusion with the
Socialists instead of with the Repub-
licans."
The Socialist Party Is in all re-
spects the third party of capitalism.
The Socialist leaders betr2y and fool
their own membership. The rank and
file Socialists are against capitalism
and for the revolutionary struggle
| for Socialism. The Communist Party
extends comradely hand to all fol-
lowers and rank and file members Of
the Socialist Party as class brothers.

FOOLISH

One of the most foolish and short-sighted poll
ces visible in world full of such things is the
common idea of those who are associated in any
way with an automobile accident that the thing
to do is to ''stick the insurance company"
A juror in an automobile damage case says:
ooh, we'll, what if guilt is doubtful? The insurance
company is rich-let them pay the bill"
When two automobiles come into collision, often
one or both proposes to assign the blame to the
one that carries insurance, that the insurance
company can be stuck for it regardless of right.
The re, ult of this policy is that this city and
the section around have automobile insurance
rates higher than those anywhere else in the state
and the chief reason is that there are so many
people here who go on the principle of Sticking
the insurance company"
The very juror who gives a wrong verdict be-
cause the insurance company is rich may be COM
planning bitterly because his own insurance rates
are so high. Yet he has helped to keep them high.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong. If the in
sured driver is at fault, the company should pay.
But the practice of assessing damages against in
surance companies because they are insurance COM
panies is not harming the insurance companies,
but is levying heavy tax everybody

Practically the treasury exercises
immense influence over it. This
lis due chiefly to the fact that
il is the only bank in England

The Bank of England can is
sue only a stipulated amount Of

Bank of England requires the
authorization of the British

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE SAME PEOPLE

"Capitalism fails" writes the sensational and
publicity loving editor of the Elizabeth City In
dependent, because it cannot operate except on
profit basis"
"Only the state can operate factory on an
even break or at loss; for only the state has the
power to tax" he continues after more comment.
And he concludes:
"Only an enlightened state be entrusted
with the mechanics of our complex modern civ
ilization."
That was nice place to stop. 1t emphasizes the
fact that the writer has an advantage over a
speaker; for speaker might be interrupted by a
question which would cancel much Of the effect of
what he had said. For instance:
"Who would run this enlightened state other
than the very people who have you say, failed in
the system of capitalism? If they have failed at
procedure which they have developed for centuries
by the method of trial and error, how could they
leap overnight into state Of enlightenment suit
able for running state which would handle sue
cessfully the mechanics of our complex modern
civilizaton?'
The truth is, Of course, that practically every
living person is capitalist in degree just as it
is true that desire to become bigger capitalists
without rendering fair return for what sought

II you have suit of clothes which is paid for,
that is capital. If you have sewing machine, that
is capital So are all the tools of farm and of fac
tory, so are all the furniture of office and Of
home, capital. Money is an exchange taken for
such capital.
With such capital we have the means of pro-
ducing much more. But, when individuals and
groups have tried to hog more than their fair
share of what produced, then the system of
exchange of capital goods went bad. Distribution

too much wheat, cold people and too much clothing
material exist in the same world and same nation

tions which would have appeared miraculously fine

1T is HERESY

By one of the few of its intellectuas, commun-
ism is called a religion.
But it's nothing of the sort.
Communism is only an economic heresy, false in
its premise, treacherous in its promise.
1t is both characterless and goddess and, there
fore, the antithesis of religion
Not single vital element resides in it to satisfy
either the material hopes of man nor his endless
inner cravings and aspirations.
1t lacks all the spiritual and mental vitamins
which energize in his approach to the deeper
instincts.
Communism is not only not a religion it is not
even rational philosophy. 1t is insanity.-The
