EVENTS OF 1889

Probably the most sensational
event of 1882 was the kidnapping of
the Lindburgh baby. That foul deed,
followed so soon by a tragic end,
was like flash of lightning ON a
stormy night, revealing to the nation
the dangerous path of crime and
lawlessness it has been treading.
The prospective change Of political
administration at Washington is
viewed with mixed feelings. To the
victOrs of November s, it is the nor
NAL abandonment of policies that
have proved futile. To the vanqu-
ished. it was a usless gesture of dis
appointment and anger. Results will
prove which view was right.
The world has been fighting to
recover its economic balance, un-
settled by unemployment and finan-
cial disasters. An extensive program
OF reconstruction measures was
adopted by congress, but other acts
Of helpfulness are called for.
Controversies over the war debts
have embittered international rela-
lions, and constitute an obstacle to
recovery. The failure of several ma
ions, led by France, to pay debt in
'talments when due was one result
If the financial earthquakes
through which we have passed.
These debt questions are an unset
led legacy of trouble for the new .
to handle.
The year has not been happy. But
o we not eXaggerate our troubles? ;
When we read of people waiting for :
ours in long lines in Russia for
bod and clothing that never comes, =
.merica, with its streets filled with
hiny automobiles, does not seem so
ad. Our people show wonderful r
elf control. We are preparing to u
urn over the government to a new .
rowd. and no revolutionist or dis
enter will get excited enough to n
re off a toy pistol. The distress of
he needy is met by superb system
t charity. There is much to be
one, but we have much to be thank u
ll for. "

THE stores of Milford have come
through another Christmas season
with flying cOlors and Il fine record
of service. They are entitled TO
warm appreciation. II has been
some proposition TO handle all the
shoppers of the season, many of
whom wait until the last few days
before buying their gifts. But all
this great amount of work has been
done patiently and intelligently, and
if anyone has lost his temper in the
midst of this trying rush, no report
of it has reached us.
1t seems certain that the result of
of this seasons trade will be to con-
vince still more people that our re-
tail stores furnish Il most excellent
line of goods, that they carry every
thing in stock that people need. and
that those who go farther can expect
to fare worse, as the old saying
has it.

Urge All Who Oppose
Lynching to Rebudiate
Negro Reformist Leaders
L. S. N. r. and LID
Urge Rejection of
Lynch Defense

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 10. So
call to the Negro masses and then
white allies to repudiate the three
Eastern Shore Negro reformist leaders
who last week came out In open de-
fensa Of the lynchers Of George Arm
wood and the lynch courts Of the
Eastern Shore which released four OF
the known leaders of the mob, was
issued here today jointly by the
Leas" g. Struggle for Negro Rights
and the international Labor Defense
The reformist leaders: James r
Stewart, J. NJ. Dickerson and james
L. johnson, attributed what they
soit-peddled as the disturbances" or
he Eastern Shore to the fact that
the /. L. D. and its Attorney Bernard
AIDES had done their utmost 10 save
Fuel Lee from legal lynching. They
declared that Negroes always got
justice in the lynch courts. which
systematically exclude Negroes from
JurieS and flagrantly violate the con
stituhonal rights of the Negro People.
that the Eastern Shore is 'aboundine
N plenty" the people prosperous and
happy and enjoying life.
The joint statement by the L. s
N. r. and the 7. L. D. follows, In part
These gentlemen live on the shore
they have ample opportunity to see
the widespread misery and starya-
ton among both white and Negro
workers. When they say that the
shore abounds in plenty they are try
ing to hide the fact, Of which they
are aware, that the plenty" Is ap-
propriated by the landlords and bank
ers Of the shore and that the worker,
and especially the Negro workers re-
ceive barely enough to maintain o
miserable existence.
"They conceal these facts because
they have been bribed with some
crumbs from their masters table.
Rev. Dickinson, pastor Of one of
the largest Negro congregations on
the shore is treated better by his
white rulers and Is better fed and
better clothed and better housed than
most Of the members Of his congre-
cation who support him. Mr.. John
son, a retired school teacher, sppar--
emily lives on his pension from the
state while most people live on relief
funds or starvation wages. Mr. !.
Stewart has been honored with 8
political Job by Governor Richie.
ain return for these favors these
three worthless now carry out the in
structions Of their masters. They
come forward TO exonerate the lynch
ers and to defeat the bill against
| lynching and against jim-crowiSn
which we had forced Delegate Alex
ander Goodman to introduce In the
| legislature yesterday.
'It is however necessary that the
Reputation of these mksleaders be
sharp and decisive. The I. L. D. and
the League Of Struggle for Negro
Rights therefore call on all organiza- :
tons to state their position by reso-
lutions TO be forwarded to us at Alb
Druid Hill Ave. We call on all or.
CARNATIONS and individuals to en-
dorse the militant fight against
lynching and against jin-crowisrn, for
the release Of the Scottsboro boys and
for full social political and economic
equality for the Negro people"

Logic the Socialist Case Capitalism the Logic Rising Fassn

the Socialist Party, FESTIVE under the
growing fascist attacks under the
N. r. A., remembering the praises OF
their leaders for the N. R. A., are
asking pointed questions, are begin
ming in ever larger numbers to re-
spond to the united front call of the
Communist Party. KrZycki and the
entire leadership of the Socialist Fas-
cist Party, in order to retain their
treacherous influences over the work
ers, try to pass over their erstwhile,
OPEN support of the MIRA. This is
the meaning of the meat" sentence
that we have quoted from Krzyckis
article.
But 1t would be the greatest mis-
take to believe that the Socialist
Party abandoned its fundamental
position of its support to the MIRA,
and the New Deal. To be sure, 1t is
now too risky to indulge in "first
flushes." The masses are now more
critical. Therefore, Krzyckis attitude
toward the N. r. A. Is more critical, -
and its love-making is less open and
more guarded. But we repeat, the
Socialist Party retains the same
treacherous attitude.
Social Fascist Juggling
How does Krzycki attack the N. r.
A.? Here is sample No. Q:
They tthe owners of Industry
have accepted the N. r. A. in 'prin-
ciple." It would use every possible
opening to evade It's effective opera
ton"
Here we have classic example of
Clever" social fascist juggling. You
see, 1t is the owners OF industry who
sabotage the N. r. A. The N. r. A.
sttll has good possibilities" But the
chisselers, in the words of Roosevelt,
the manufacturers who violate the
codes, in the words of General John
son, are those who "evade its effective
operation"
The N. r. A. indeed operates quite
effectively as the guarantor of the
profits Of industry. That is why the
N. r. A. was brought into being.
N. r. A. and Monopoly Capitalism
The N. r. A. with its codes was
designed to raise the prices of the
first necessities, to cut wages. And
who can now deny that with the help
Of the treacherous leaders Of the A..
F. Of L. and the Socialist Party, the
owners Of industry" since Roosevelt
occupies the White House, have in
creased the profits Of 453 of the big
gest Wall Street corporations by no
less than $50 per cent. We repeat,
by no less than four-hundred and
nifty per cent?
The owners Of industry have so
effectively evaded" the N. r. A. that
the fifteen billion dollar subsidies of
the New Deal given to the banks,
trust and railroads, has enabled "a
corporations to pass between Deem

that this is not the time to strike. .
When Krzycki cries out that the
Socialists must so to the masses, this
is for no other reason than to carry
out the no-strike policy of the MIRA.
and to lead the strikes only In order
to behead them.
Why is it that the Communist Party
was the only party which from the
very first heard the true voice Of the
N.R.A., "the voice Of American capt
tahsmP" 1t is because 1t Is Party
based on a revolutionary program,
Party whose entire policy since It's
inception is the defense Of the tn
terests of the workers, the nnobiliss
ton Of the workers, for struggle
against fascism, against capitalism
We, as Communists, know that the
United Front struggles Of the work
ers can defeat fasciSm we know
that the entire history Of the Second
International, as shown 80 clearly liz
the German situation, Is one Of pre-
pairing the way for fascism. we toe
say we must go TO the masses, bus
to go to them In order to lead them
out OF capitalism and not TO keep
them chained to capitalist exploita-
ton. The road Of the American So
cialistS. their support of Roosevelt, OF
the NR.A. is the same road OF the
German social fascist leaders, the
road towards fascism.
The road OF the Communist Party
is the Bolshevik road. is the road to
struggle for the immediate defense of
the interests of the workers, the road
Of the revolutionary way out Of the
crisis, towards a Soviet America, the
road which led to the establishment
Of the Soviet Union as the land or
Socialism.
We say to these Socialist workers
who are growing keenly aware Of the
treacheries of the Second Interna-
tional in Germany, who are learning
from their own bitter experiences with
the MIRA. in the U. S. that whatever
their ties and faith may be with the
Socialist Party, we can unite with
them in the every day struggles
against effective operation" OF the
MIRA, against the rising menace OF
fascism.
The logic of the Socialist case
against fascism, is the inevitable logic
towards fascism.
The logic OF the Communist case
against capitalism is the inevitable
logic of the struggle against fascism,
for the revolutionary way out Of the
crisis, for the rule OF the toilerS- for
She dictatorship Of the prolctariat.

1000 CWA Men Wait
3 Days for Checks
Few Of Los Angeles
Men Paid Off

LOS ANGELES, CaL-Over 1000
men were held up at the pay window
of the CWA job at the service yard
in Griffith Park, Wednesday evening,
waiting for their pay checks, which
had already been delayed three days.
Many of these men had not received
relief for many weeks,
Among the paymasters were some
recognized as having been among the
politically appointed straw-bosses and
foremen who were responsible for
driving relief workers to their death
in the Griffith Park fire Of Oct. 8.
A spontaneous demonstration began
amongst the men, who demanded
their pay. The head paymaster sad,
II am doing you fellows a favor to
be staying here after five o'clock, and
if you don't keep quiet, will take
the checks home with me-"
The men protested loudly, and
warned the paynaster not to take
the checks away, and he was afraid
to leave. Only few Of the men were
paid, and the rest left in a very
angry temper.
For the last few days, many of the
park crew have refused to work until
they got their checks, and Thursday,
workers from points throughout the
Park stood at the paymaster's win
dow at the Greek Theatre and re-
fused to move until they were paid.
Most of them received their checks.

How the New National Chairman of the S. P,
Attempts to Explain Away the Socialist
Party's Glorification of the N. r. A.

N. r. A. Now let us see whether the
S. P. was caught by" the first flush
Of enthusiasm over the New Deal. II
the true voice of American capital
ism" was not clearly heard It Is also
due to the Socialist Fascist glorifica-
tion of the N. r. A.
We shall begin with Krzyckis pre-
decessor, the past master OF the
working class betrayals-none other
than Hillquit. A few months before
his death, Hillquit, in q special article
for the Socialist Party 1888 N. z.
Election Platform, wrote as follows:
1--WE Socialists cheerfully admit
that there are possibilities for good
in the New Deal. It gives the work
erS q chance to raise wages, reduce
working hours and increase en-.
ployment. The N. RIA offers
tho working people Of America
great opportunity" tow en-
phsds-S.D.)
The First Flushr
May we ask Mr.. Krxycki whether
Hillquit was not guilty Of the first
flush Of enthusiasm over the New
DEAL? Perhaps Hillquit represented
only one section-tl,e so-called right
wing Of the Socialist Party that sup
ported the New Deal and the MIRA.
Perhaps Norman Thomas, the leader
Of the Militants, admitted less cheer
fully than Hillquit that there are
possibilities for good in the New
Deal"
The Fascist Breeding N. r A.
and Socialism
Now let US see what Norman
Thomas had to say about the N.R.A.
just before 1t was passed by Con-
gress:
1T would be absurd to expect .
democratic administration to adj
vance toward outright ID social
ism. Nevertheless, the labor clauses
OF the bills introduced into Con-
gress rightfully used, are giving
the workers an enormously ~ pow
erful weapon for progress towards
genuine socialism" (Or en-
phasis-SD.)
The fascist-breeding N. r. A. Is
presented here as leading the work
ers out Of capitalist misery towards
genuine socialism,
Thus we see how the two out
standing leaders Of the Socialist
Party, Thomas and Hillquit, the lead
ers Of the right and left" wing,
touchingly embrace the New Deal In
their first flushes.
The workers who still follow the
Socialist Party, the rank and file Of

cisely in the direction of the business
fascism of Swope2 And when Krzycki
pictures Roosevelt differing with the
business fascism of Swope, it is i'll
line with the Socialist practice of the
lesser evil. 1t is in line with present.
ing one capitalist representative as
being a lesser evil in comparison with
another capitalist representative. It
is all done with the view in mind of
disarming the workers before advance
ing fasciSm- II Is done with the view
in mind of not allowing the workers
to see in the capitalist representative
in power at the moment the very
bearer of fascism.
Not First Flush"
Krzycki's attack on the business
fascism of Swope is for the very OBJ
yiouS reason of binding the workers
to the danger of fascism emanating
from the present occupant Of the
White House.
Was the Socialist Party's support
for the MIRA. from the very first, a
mere flush on its part? Not ct all
1t was continuation Of its policy
of class collaboration, its policy Of
saving dying capitalism at the ex-
pense of the toilers. Krzycki wants
us to believe that Thomas and Hill
quit, the two Socialist fair maidens,
were seduced by the charms and
smiles of Roosevelt's New Deal The
fact Is that the entire second Social
ist International hailed the MIRA. in
the same glowing terms as its Amer
lean section. Vandervelde, the chair
man Of the Second Socialist Inter
national, also discovered in the Fa-
ist-breeding MIRA. genuine Social
ism. In speaking of the MIRA, he
said: THAT it releases anti-capitalist
tendencies
Brailsford, former leader of the left
wing of the Labor Party, wrote as
follows: Socialism without socialists,
the logic of events in America"
The British Labor Party at its re-
cent Congress hailed the MIRA. and
went SO far as to adopt 8 resolution in
which 1t declared that it appreciates
the significance of the vigorous eff
forts now being made by President
Roosevelt towards the stimulation and
reconstruction of industry by means
of the Industrial Recovery Act and
allied legislation"
Only last week, the New York So
cialist New Leader" carried a well
featured article by the British Labor
Party leader, Miss Susan Lawrence.
who is at present in the U. S. Miss
Susan discovers half Socialist Para
disc in the MIRA. hell hole. We read
in her front page article in the Dec.
2 issue of the New Leader, the same
issue which carries Krzycki's article:
+" -. the interesting note for us So
cialists to note Is that they CAmeri-
can capitalism have adopted half the
Socialist theory and are endeavoring
