PITY is NOT ENOUGH. BY Josephine

With a political background, Joseph
inc Herbst has combined a minimum
of politics and maximum of personal
Characterization. Joseph Trexler Is a
become a valuable pioneer or a racket
eering politician, largely according to
chance. He leaves his mothers home
near Philadelphia and goes South in
1863 with the traditional carpetbag.
His mother, having been the mainstay
of her six children for many years, is
not given to weeping, but she weeps
with foreboding when he leaves. His
career in the South is not of the most
savory kind, but he Is no worse than his
companions who have gone there with
the same hopes ana purposes, and 1t
is something not to be too distin-
guished in notofiety. On the last day
before he leaves home he has his pic
ture taken in his new suit, with the
pants pressed round like stovepipes," but
that new suit is nothing to what he
wore few years later when the best
was none too good and he was running
up to New York ordering the finest
broadcloths." Joe,s later roamings take
him as prospector to the Bad Lands
of Dakota and from there he always
writes to his family as II something
big were just about to happen. He
helps to start his brother David on a
chase for fortune and David selects
Deadwood for his operations Toward

Schools in Michigan
Town Are ClOsedD0wn;
Teachers Left Unpaid

SAUGATUCK, Mich.--The schools
in this town have closed down indef-
initely, leaving eight teachers with
out Jobs and the children without
means of further education. In
closing the schools, the School Board
announced that its cash resources
were SO and it was $4,000 in debt.
The last salary the teachers drew,
only few days before the shut
down, was SIS, which the eight teach
ers had 70 divide among them. They
have been unable to collect about
$4,000 that is due them in unpaid
salaries for last year and this.
What has happened here is only
an acute expression of the general
situation throughout Michigan. APP
preparations for education are being
draStically cut, teachers salaries are
being slashed, while many schools are
threatened with a shutdown. The

ment, while placing sales and head

to the entire country Hurst scarcely
touched it until subsequently, when
the handwriting expert testified and
he could not avoid it.
When Callahan's amazing charge
to the Jury was made every Northern
newspaperman there realized its gray
ity and Importance. Daniel had
made arrangements to take the whole
thing down verbatim. He suspected
in view OF Callahan's decisions that
the charge might be a bombshell and
wanted every word of 1t. The other
reporters wrote furiously, taking
down the salient points.
The Southern reporters sat back,
taking occasional notes.
When the charge was finished
Daniel turned to Raymond and me,
his eyes round with indignation:
II never heard anything like it,"
he said. This S. of a b. just
told them to come In with a verdict
of guilty. It's so raw that 1t makes
sure of one thing: these boys will
never burn in the electric chair"
The papers that afternoon carried
the Associated Press story. The Biz
mingham News Age Herald carried
the story. But all they carried was
that the judge had charged the jury.
Not a single word Of the rawness of
the charge. Not single word Of
Callaharl's forgetting to instruct the
jury in the event they should decide
to acquit the defendant
Daniel talked to Davenport in the
corridor Of the county court house.
We were all around. Daniel said he
could not understand how the Asso-
ciated press didn't carry the story of
the judges forgetting to instruct on
acquittal.
Davenport returned: @Oh, ! wrote
the whole thing, including the high
lights of the charge. But I guess
some copy reader cut it out"
1t was so funny that the Northern
newspapern1en walked away dis
gusted, convinced that the Associated
Press, let alone the liberal" Birning-
ham News Age Herald, had deliber-
ately suppressed news not only in this
instance but throughout the whole
trial.
1t is difficult to write of these things
without feeling growing sense OF
Indignation and hatred of the farce
Alabama just put on in Decatur. No
matter how calmly one tries to look
at 1t, the crudeness Of 1t, the utter
callousness of the deliberate rail-
reading Of Patterson to the electric
chair is so brazen that certainly one
is convinced there is no hope for
justice in Alabama unless terrific
pressure and condemnation is put
upon those officials responsible for
this outrage.

And the stuff about ',Fascism Of
the Stain variety"-that Is exactly
what the arch-reactionary and labor
hater, Ham Fish said only two days
ago at the Senate hearings, where In
disputable proofs were presented by
the Daily Worker Of Fascist organiza-
ton in this country.
So this holy trinity, the Socialist
leader, the arch-labor hater, and the
officials OF the Progressive Miners
Union all have the same line. They
are, each in his own way, trying to
dlsarm the American workers before
the advance OF American Fascism.
No danger OF Fascism In AmericaI
They have the gall to say this at
time when the whole Roosevelt gov
eminent moves toward the ever more
open use Of the military force to
maintain the Wall Street dictator
ship, OF private property. They say
this at a time, when right In the
coal fields Of Illinois the National
Guard stands ready to shoot down
striking coal miners In defense of
the Wall Street coal operators! They
choose to disregard the shootings at
Ambridge, the martial law in the Gal
lup coal strike.
The growing menace of Fascist re-
action is merely a 'bugaboo" to these
officials and scribblers Of the Pro-
gressive Miner.

torship, the rule OF workers in the
Soviet Union, accomplished? 1t has
destroyed the rule of the capitalists.
1t has abolished unemployment for
ever. It has abolished the exploita.-
ton Of such capitalist groups as the
coal operators. 1t is steadily raising
the wages and the living standards
OF the miners and the toiling masses.
1t is for a similar workers rule that
the Communist Party fights here. 1t
is against such workers rule that
the Progressive editors and officials
fight.
How can these officials truly de-
fend the immediate interests of the
miners, when they are trying TO
keep the miners from fighting
against the Wall Street capitalist
dictatorship that is engineering the
N. r. A. wage-cutting drive?
And in actually, the Progressive
officials do not defend the best in
terests OF the Illinois coal miners.
The way in which they treacherously
deserted the recent unemployed min
ers' Hunger March to Springfield is
an example of how they pretend to
fight for the miners, and then betray
them.
The Communist Party has already
shown its capacity to lead the miners
in struggles against the coal opera
tors Wall Street dictatorship.
The Communist Party in its fight
against the Roosevelt Wall Street
program is tearing the mask off
these radical phrase-mongers Of the
Progressive Miners Union, whose
major task is to disarm the miners
before the Fascist attacks of the
Roosevelt government,

They deliberately charge that the

Double Service to Wall st.
The double service that this line
does for the Wall Street coal oper-
ators is clear. On the one hand 1t
disarms the miners before the coal
operators and the Roosevelt Wall
Street attack, and, on the other hand,
it is an attempt to keep the miners
away from that which is feared by
the coal operators more than any
thing else in the world-the revolu-
tionary leadership of the Communist
Party with It's program Of the revo-
lutionary overthrow of capitalism.
For, what is this Oriental phil
osOphy" against which the Pro-
gressive editors warn the miners?
1t is nothing but the Dictatorship
Of the Proletariat, which the toll
ers of the Soviet Union have estab-
lished. 1t Is the rule Of the work
ers and farmers, with the greatest
democracy in the world for the toll
ers; not the fake capitalist "dem-
ocracy" Of the Roosevelt govern

everything, but real, proIetarian,
working -class democracy, where the
workers own and control every
thing.

WHY do the editors OF the Progress

1t is because the deepening crisis
is bringing ever greater active con-
American workers into active con-
flict with the Roosevelt Wall Street
government, because the American
masses, particularly the coal miners,
are demonstrating ever greater will
ingness to struggle against capitalist
exploitation.
And in these struggles the masses
are looking with ever-growing SYM

the Communist Party, and the revo-

Particularly among the coal miners,
where the influence and the leader
ship of the Communist Party has
been growing, where the Communist
Party has led successful strikes in
the New Mexico and Utah coal fields,
where it has established roots among
the miners of Pennsylvania, the ex-
ample of the Soviet Union has found
increasingly warm sympathy.
And it is this sympathy for the

RICHMOND, Va. - Registrations

which will present the Richmond
Workers Relief Ordinance to Mayor
Bright, are increasing rapidly. The
ordinance, which was presented re-
Gently at the hearings before the
Finance Committee, is arousing great
interest among the workers.
1t provides for ten dollars cash re-
lief to each unemployed couple, two
dollars to each dependent, seven dol
lars to each single unemployed. It
provides for union wages, conditions,
and workmen's compensation on all
relief jobs. 1t provides for a COM
plete cessation Of evictions and re-
possessions during the entire period
Of the economic crisis. It provides
against discrimination, especially
against the Negro unemployed. 1t de-
mands that all relief funds shall be
collected by special taxes on the
wealthy and that there shall be a
complete moratorium on the enor-
nous payments by the City to the
bankers during the period Of the
crisis. 1t provides for the adninistra-
ton of relief by elected committees
Of the workers. Finally it points out
that all these measures are purely
temporary, and demands that the
City Government Immediately memo
rialize Congress for the passage of
the Workers Federal Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill.
Tremendous enthusiasm has been
aroused among the workers by this
ordinance. This enthusiasm has been
strengthened by the series of public

The coal miners in Illinois, in the

their own living experience that the
menace OF Fascist violence and re-
action is increasing every day. The
coal miners in Illinois, who In the
last months have faced every day the

is brutally real, and not a "bugaboo."
