BIG BUSINESS
DEMANDS BAN
AGAINST C. P.
n atiOnal Police Spy
System Is Urged by
Commerce Group

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12-
An open call to outlaw the Com
munist Party and the formation of
a special national police system to
fight the revolutionary labor move
ment were recommended today by
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, leading group of in
dustrialists and employers.
This follows the recent demand
for more drastic wage-cutting and
open shop conditions by the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association
In a specially prepared circular
sent to all its members, the Cham
Der of Commerce warned that the
Government had been unfortu-
nately too lenient in dealing with
propaganda intended to forcibly
overthrow the governmental, social,
and economic order"
Follows Police Plan
This open call for terrorism
against the Communist Party and
all militant labor groups, includ-
ing the trade unions, takes on
added significance in the light of
Roosevelt's recent declaration for q
Federal police system.
The circular proposes the follow
ing measures:
l. The enactment of a Federal
sedition law, similar to that in force
in Canada, where the Communist
Party is illegal, to make all "sedi-
tious conspiracy" illegal and sub
ject to fine and six years imprison-
ment. This would be broad enough
to include practically any kind of
militant utterance or criticism OF
the government.
D The formation of federal secret
spy agency as part of the Depart
ment Of Justice to investigate all
subversive activities with especial
reference to the Communist Party
and its foreign relationships.
This section Of the report is es-
pecially provocative against the So
Wet Union, accusing the Soviet GOV
eminent Of Openly and defiantly
proselytizing for the forcible over.
throw of the present political anc
economic order" and charging the
Communist Party with being under
Soviet domination"
- The launching of a terroristil
drive against all foreign born, anc
strict closing Of all immigration
to any worker who is a member Of
an organization advocating violent
overthrow Of the Federal govern
ment."
Would Shut Mails
d The shutting Of the mails tc
all literature and newspapers which
advocates or is distributed by an
organization which advocates sub
versive doctrines"

ANTI-SEMITIC
SPEECH MADE
BY COUGHL|N
BY A. B. Magil
Especial to the Daily Worker)

ROYAL OAK, Mich, Dec. H.
Venomous, lying attacks on the
Communist Party, anti-semitic in
nuendoes, defense of Henry Ford,
and firm unequivocal opposition to
unemployment and social insurance
these were the sinister fascist
features that emerged from behind
the mask of priestly phrases in a
speech made by Father Charles E.
Ccughlin, before an audience that
packed the chapel next to his shrine
of the Little Flower last night.
Last nights utterances were
among the most significant Father
Coughlin has ever made. In many
respects they bore startling re-
semblance to the demagogic propa-
ganda of Hitler before he came to
power. Throughout his speech
Coughlin, who has launched new
potentially fascist movement, the
National Union for Social Justice,
repeatedly invoked the authority of
the Catholic Church and Pope Plus
XII for everything he said and did.
Lies About Communists
Echoing the worst police provo
cations, he said at one point: IF
labor is smart, they'll never join
the Communists by throwing bombs
into factories, bursting machinery
and bursting your chances for work. "
At another point he declared: "I'll
give you one reason why I wouldn't
be a Communist. still believe in
private initiative, that the man who
wants to work is better than the
man who has been educated to
live on the hind springs Of box
car. Communism is generally adj
vocated by the man who doesn't
want to work"
Coughlin indicated the true pur-

AUTO
union BACKS
out OF PACT

DETROIT, Dec. 12.-The district
council of the United Auto Workers
Union CA. F. of L. under pressure
of the dissatisfaction of the rank
and file auto workers, has written
William Green, president of the A.
F. of L., announcing the withdrawal
of the union from the presidential
pact Of last March 25. This pact,
signed by Roosevelt, py Green and
other A. F. of L. leaders, prevented
the auto strike and set up the COM
pulsory arbitration Automobile La
Dor Board.
The district committee of the
union, however, is again misleading
the workers by calling for another
impartial" board to replace the
Auto Labor Board. The auto work
ers are particularly dissatisfied with
the support given the company
unions by the Roosevelt Auto Labor
Board, and by the merit system in
the auto code.

u. S. NEGRO
is ELECTED
IN MOSCOW
Robert Robinson Named
by Fellow Workers
to City Soviet
By Vern Smith
Especial to the Daily Worker)


MOSCOW, Dec. II (By Radio =
Amid tremendous enthusiasm, work
ers in Moscow enterprises who cast
their votes during the first day of
the elections to the Moscow City
and District Soviets, elected Robert
Robinson. Negro tool maker and So
Wet shock brigader. in company with
Joseph Stain Mikhail Kalinin and
other Soviet leaders and shock
brigaders to the Moscow City So
Wet.
Heinz Kosher, leader Of the Flor
idsdorf Shutzbund of Vienna in the
anti-fascist fighting last February,
and later received asylum in the
Soviet Union, was elected deputy
Of the Moscow Soviet by his fellow
workers of the Stain automobile
plant.
Robinson, who worked for six
years in a Detroit motor factory
without receiving recognition Of his
abilities or promotion, has been pro-
NOTED several times since he came
to the Soviet Union in 1880 and, in
addition, has received several sub
stantial money awards for a num-
Der of important inventions and
technical proposals.
While working at the Stalingrad
tractor plant, he was assaulted by
two white American engineers who
objected to his eating in the same
restaurant with them. This chau-
whist act provoked a storm of in
dignation from the Soviet workers,
who declared their relentless oppo-
sition to any attempt to introduce
capitalist race hatred and chauvin-
ism into the workers fatherland
After a mass trial, in which tens Of
thousands of workers participated
Robinson's assailants were expelled
from the country.
Every Worker Votes
More than thirty of the largest
enterprises in Moscow, including the
Stain automobile plant, Kagano-
witch Ballbearing plant, the Dynamo
plant of the electric combine, car
ried through their elections on Mon
day, with every single worker at
tending the election meetings. The
electors discussed the work of the
Moscow city and district Soviets in
an exceptionally businesslike man

THREE BOYS
Die IN FIRE
AT CCC CAMP

NORRIS, Tenn, Dec. 12.-Three
C.C.C. boys, unable to find work
and reduced to working for the
government at ST day wage, we're
burned to death beyond recognition
today as they were caught in a fire
which destroyed the C.C.C. camp
here mile from the Norris Dam.
The boys all came from the New
York area. Their bodies have been
identified as: Elwood Kramer. 20,
of Nutley, N. j., Jacob Klein, 20, Of
the Bronx, and Charles De Palma,
81, of East Orange, N. ].
More than 200 boys were reused
from their beds by the Iire and
shivered th:nly clad in the freezing
air.
All reports of the fire have come
through the commanding officers in
charge, so that detailed explanation
Of how the boys met their death
has not been forthcoming. A
curious circumstance of the official
reports Is that the deaths of the
boys was not discovered until some
time after the fire.

Farmers Protest Relief
Shipment as Food Rots

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 12.-Massa-
chusetts farmers today lodged
vehement protests with the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
after 100000 pounds of cabbage
was sent to this State for distribu-

ers, stating that their own produce
was rotting in the markets without
purchaser, pointed out that most
of the large F. E. R. A. shipment
would likewise rot before distribu-
ton.
The six million pounds of cabbage
arrived here Friday in 226 carloads.

battle on their behalf is not ended:
that there are still many injustices

deal.
Against Political Influence.
He added that those who criticized
the American Legion as an organiza-
ton now realize that the national
economy act has brought dire suffering
and disaster to many homes. and that
politics should not be permitted to
stand in the way OF fair treatment
to those veterans who are unable to
care for themselves. He said he has
actively supported Department Comdr
Col. Rice w. Means in his efforts to
remove the Objectionable features from
the economy act, and has heartily in
dorsed the veterans preference move
ment and the child welfare and re-
habilitation programs, and advocates a
strong Americanism program.
Mr.. Malloy is a captain In the

Reserve, being assigned to the 80th
Division, with headquarters at Rich

continue to be in the forefront of the
fight to maintain an adequate ma

that the r. o. T. C. and the high
