SELMA, Ala, August because
they went to the office of the RIG.
and demanded an end to discrinin-
alton in pay against Negro workers,
G. j. Adams and P. L. Lindsay, two
Negroes of this city, were called to
the office of the sheriff and terror
lied by the sheriff, deputies and a
crowd of about $50 white men.
The RIG. here pays white work
ers $3.50 day and Negroes rs cents

work. Lindsay and Adams went to
the RFC. office and complained at
the difference in the rate of pay
When the RIG. officials refused to
make any change. the two men said
they would write to RIG. headquar-
ters in Washington.
Two days later the sheriff sent for
Lindsay and Adams, and conducted
them into a room in the courthouse
in which $50 white men were gather
ed. The sheriff then began grilling
the two Negroes. "You have been
accused of insulting white woman
in the RIG. office" he said. what
have you got to say about it? Have
you written that letter to Washing

of here unless you promise to quit

Lindsay and Adams refused to re-
tract their action or to make any
promises, and were finally released,
after many threats had been made
against them.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-"Just be-
cause blood isn't flowing in the
streets, don't think that we aren't in
the midst of a revolution. Call it
socialistic or fascist, we have had a
revolution, and peaceful one"
This was the statement made by
Neil Staebler, local Socialist Party
leader, in a speech Friday, July Goth,
before the University of Michigan So
cialist Club.
Staebler spoke of Roosevelt as be-
ing both crafty politician and a
progressive leader. THE handling
Roosevelt has given to the recent
banking situation" he said, while
not closing the problem, should be
recognized as an accomplishment. He
was clever to get the banks open at
ALL"
The economy program, by which
Roosevelt slashed $500,000,o00 from
the veterans benefits, fired thou
sands of government employees and
gave the rest Is per cent wage cut,
was characterized by Staebler as a
courageous attack" on the budget
problem.

NEW YORK.-Police refused a
permit to workers who intend to

This is the first time such per-
nit has been refused and comes on
the heels of the brutal attack by the
police on a demonstration at the

The marches, which will be held
Friday night, led by the East N. Y.
Unemployed Councils, will start at
two points, Hopkins and East New

terror.
Carl Winter, who is secretary Of
the Unemployed Councils of Greater

"The Socialist Party appears in
this election as a separate Party
only because its offers of fusion
have been rejected by the big bank
ers, who for time, through their
agents Wickersham and Marshall
Field, played with the slogan Feel
Safe with Thomas"
"The Socialist Party fights neither
for the immediate needs of the
working class nor for Socialism.
While using the word Socialism"
it is the bitterest enemy of Social
ing class. The Communist Party is
fighting against the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics.
1.-THE Communist Party, Section
of the Communist International, is
the only, Party which fights for the
immediate needs of the American
working class and at the same time
is the only Party which fights for
Socialism, which is the only way
out of capitalist ruin for the work

the Party of the working class rev.

Socialism is the way out of capt.

"The Communist Party calls
upon the entire working population
of New York, wage workers in all

Second, it is necessary for all
of these workers of whatever affil-

Immediate concessions must be
wrung from the unwilling hands
of the corrupt city government
now.
"The campaign, in order to be of
real service, in terms of bread and
meat and milk, for the working
class families of New York, must
be campaign of mass solidarity,
through working class unity in
struggle, and must be manifested

Continuing, the District Committee
statement declared:
1.-THE Tammany government of
New York Is but an agency of the
Wall Street bankers, who rule both
the City of New York and the
country at large. In every contro-
versy about unemployment relief
Tammany responds only to defend
the treasures of the rich. Guided
solely by the principle of forcing
the unemployed to endure as much
suffering as they will quietly submit
to, the City government gives
minimum of relief, not to prevent
starvation, but only to dull the
protest and paralyze action.
Tax Rich, Is Demand
1.-THE wealthiest bankers and trust
heads in the whole world live in
New York, who could easily be
made subject to taxation in sums
of hundreds Of millions per year
on their incomes. But these
wealthy men have entirely ceased
paying income taxes. Rather than
touch a dollar of their wealth, the
city government, when driven by
mass pressure for unemployment
relief, resorts to the outrageous
sales tax, which levies tribute on
the food, clothing and other neces-
stiles Of the working class, employed
and unemployed. Under the rule
of Tammany, thousands of teachers
starve in unemployment while in
the overcrowded schools children
go hungry and untaught.
"The Communist Party has
already, through its spokesman,
Robert Minor, presented to the city

Of raising ample funds to prevent
starvation in New York, even on
the basis Of the present constitu-

compel by mass demonstration the

THE LIMIT

TINE ceiling is no longer the limit"
Such the notice hung up in the Chicago
pit. by the leading gamblers in the nations
food stuffs. You see, the gambling had be-
come too dangerous and was creating too
strong a stencil, so strong that 1t might pro-
woke an administration actually for govern
ment of, by and for the people TO impose law
prohibiting transactions in which there was
not actual transfer of the foodstuffs. and even
of stock certificates representing merely the
tools of the game, as do the ivory or celluloid
chips in poker.
What sense in Mr. Roosevelt's vastly in
creasing the taxation of all of us and paying
acreage in order to raise farm prices, wher
the pit controls the prices? The pit sees the
point.
Possibly, the pit suspects that, before he
will permit the gamblers to ruin his costly en-
deavors to get more money into the hands
of our 100000 of agricultural folks, President
Roosevelt will demand just that prohibitory
law referred to above. The temptation for
him to so act must be strong, especially since
the gamblers themselves announce that the
play with the food raiser's prices has been too
high and risky
At present the pits reform movement has
got as far as limitation of the fluctuations in
grain prices in any one day to cents for
wheat and other grains in proportion. The
little suckers still can do their gambling and
the big pools still can creel their suckers.
But, more reasonably fellow citizens, more
reasonably
Maybe, President Roosevelt will yet have
the Chicago pit and that New York Stock Ex-
change working under regulations. He will
find all of his great recovery plans much
easier to make work should he wipe out specu-
latlons in margins altogether The grain and
stock gambling produces nothing, and NAV
wreck everything

called brain trust from the beginning OF the
campaign. has been the Presidents right hand
policy man. Hull, in the senate and later in
the cabinet. has been one of the Presidents
most valued political advisers.
Admitting that Dr. Moley has made mis-
takes and that Hull has preserved dignified
patience DR.. Moley is not chiefly to blame
The President is responsible for making his
chief policy adviser assistant to Secretary Hull
and thereby inviting disastrous division of
authority And the national emergency is re-
sponsible for DR.. Moley working about
eighteen hours a day, seven days week, to
the point Of exhaustion. where the finer
points of bureaucratic etiquette begin to blur.
The irony Of this is that the position of
assistant secretary of state is one of the few
in the government which Dr. Moley is not
particularly fitted to occupy. He IS not spe-
cialist in foreign affairs and does not pre-
tend TO be.
Apparently the chief excuse for giving him
his present job was the need for a title and
rank approximating his real Importance in the
administration. The theory may have been
good, but it has not worked. 1t has not
helped the state department nor Hull And it
has interfered with DR.. Moleys larger use

The state department needs an assistant
secretary in fact as well as in name. And Dr.
Moley needs better job in line with his un-
usual ability as general policy adviser TO the

up is concerned, but it's never quite the crisp

Throw it away? The late-sunlmer prices,
down to half or less from spring, are tempting.
But then it will be still good next summer,
and by that time the style will diabolicaly
have changed Wear it on through the dog
