The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-12-01


of the workers The Communist Party
warns the working class against surrender
ing to any tendency of individual acts of
terrorism, and bends all its efforts to direct
ing the will to struggle of the masses to-
wards organized mass actions and away
from individual violence.
THE call to organize fascist violence is not
l confined to the California governor. The
obvious participation of the Maryland State
machinery in the lynching Of George Arm
wood, the passivity of the Missouri State
machine in the face of this weeks lynching
of Lloyd Warner, and the tacit support given
by the Roosevelt administration to the wave
of fascist lynch violence, are all evidences
that it is the entire American ruling class
which is deliberately fostering a wave Of IA
scist violence.
More and more, the Roosevelt govern
ment is resorting to violence and terror
against the masses.
The shooting down of the pickets at AM
bridge, Pa, the declaration of martial law
against the coal strikers of New Mexico and
Utah. the failure Of the Roosevelt govern
ment to take the slightest action against
lynching, the open use Of the National Guard
against the striking farmers in Iowa, Wis
consin and New York, are examples of the
road which the Roosevelt government will
take on an ever-increasing scale against the
resistance of the masses to it's Wall Street
hunger program,
The capitalist press warns against ''nnob
violence" But the mob violence in the re-
cent lynchings are not spontaneous outbursts
from the masses, despite the efforts of the
press to depict them as such.
It is true that in these mobs there were
many misled petty bourgeois and even work
ers. But the impetus, the incitation, and
the promise Of protection came from the
organized official governmental machinery
In the recent lynchings, it was the govern
mental machine that really was in action,
not any spontaneous outburst of the masses.
The menace of fascist violence come directly
from the capitalist government machine,
which organizes and protects it.
The menace Of unbridled brutality, Of
individual terrorism, comes not from the
working class E'mob,' but precisely from
the capitalist ruling class masters, who are
fearful for the continuation of their eX-
pIoitation and profits. It is from the
Roosevelt government, facing the coming
winter with every one of its promises TO
the masses to alleviate the crisis unful-
filled, that the real menace of fascism
comes.
EUST as the Roosevelt government, follow
II ing the dictates of its Wall Street mas
tiers, prepares to launch the increasing IA
scist terrorism against the starving masses
so the toiling masses of the country must
form an unbreakable United Front of strug-
gle to meet the attack, and to defeat it.
It is by the powerful weapon Of United
Front, the united front of all workers, re-
CARELESS of political belief, Of affiliation, of
the united front Of the Communist, Socialist
and all other workers, of members of the
A. F. Of L. unions with ne revolutionary
unions Of the T.U.U.L., of the organized with
the unorganized, of the jobess with the en-
ployed, of the Negro and white workers, that
the approaching fascist menace can be
destroyed
AS the employers try to break the work
ers' trade unions, as they try to beat down
the wage scales and the working conditions,
as they try to increase profits at the expense
of the workers, supporting their exploita-
ton by fascist provocations and organized
violence, the working class can defeat these
attacks by United Front mass struggles, by
United Front mass strikes by United Front
mass defense!
The United Front of the working class of
all the toiling and exploited! This is the
weapon that can turn back the fascist
menace!
