Seeks New Methods To Distract
Starving Masses

FERRARA, Italy, Jan. IA hope
for the discovery Of new methods to
distract the toilng masses from con-
tinous disasters, cyclones and finan-
cial crises under capitalism, was ex-
pressed here today by Gen. Italbo
Balbo, fascist leader and commander
of last summers mass seaplane flight
to the United States
Even the Finding of live ante
diluvian animals" would be for
tunate development, according to
Balbo, in aiding capitalism to distract
the attention of the masses from mass
unemployment and growing misery,
both in those countries where it has
resorted to the naked sword of fas-
cist dictatorship against the toilers
and in those where the process of
scrapping all democratic pretensions
is proceeding.

the employers during the life of this
agreement"
The agreement is supposed to live
three years.
For these three years the A. F. of
L. officials pledge themselves, before
hand, unequivocally, without regard
to cause or reason, to break all cigar
makers strikes.
Wage Conditions
In return for this slavery, the
workers are offered the following hoax
on wages:
Point 4:
upon the code of the cigar in
dustry becoming fully operative ne
gotiations of a wage scale under the
provisions of the code shall be taken
up and finally agreed to; it being
further understood and agreed that
when such a wage scale be approved
it shall be on basis that will not
be detrimental to the cigar industry
Of Tampa as compared with other
cigar manufacturing centers where
cigars of kind are manufactured in
comparable volume"

Urges Support OF
Porto Rican Strike

NEW YORK.-In support Of the
1000 striking taxicab drivers in Porto
Rico, the Porto Rican Anti-Imper-
iahst League in this city has called
a mass meeting for Thursday, pm,
at the Esthonian Hall, 81 West 115th
St. The League urges all workers to
show their solidarity with the strikers.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, jan l.
Taxicab drivers, striking against the
exhorbitant price fixed by Gov. Hor-
ton for gasoline, are continuing their
strike in defiance Of NR.A. arbitra-
tors who are insisting that the
strikers go back to work in simple
trust that the grasping Oil companies
will themselves reduce the price of
gasoline.
In page advertisements in the press
today, the gas companies revealed
that Gov. Horton fixed gasoline prices
at their suggestion. The price was
fixed at u cents q gallon.

Better Preparation FOR the
Unemployed Convention


a tons for the national Convention of the Unem-
ployed to take place in Washington, D. c.. Feb. 8,
and s. are not being carried on with sufficient energy
The National Unemployed Convention is not to be
merely demonstration. 1t is to be working conven-
ton with delegates who will actually represent the
strength of the united front movement.
With the convention just four weeks away. serious
check-up Of the progress Of the unemployed work by
the sections districts units and fractions Of the Party
is necessary. One Of the main immediate demands of
the jobles workers is the demand for jobs from the
c. w. A. and the demand for union conditions on c.
W. A. jobs The organization Of the unemployed work
at this time therefore not only the setting up
Of territorial Unemployed Councils and committees but
especially the organization of job committees and Re
lief Unions of the c. W. A. workers Special efforts
should therefore be made to delegates to the
convention, workers elected from groups committees
and unions of C. W. A. workers.
THE broadening of the united front of the solid
arity and unity of the unemployed in their fight
for jobs for relief. and for the Workers Unem-
pOyment Insurance Bill, is Immediately necessary.
eheck-up for the final month of convention pre-
parations should pay particular attention to work in
unemployed organizations other than the unemployed
councils and to work in the A. F. of L. local unions
The masses in these organizations must be from
the influence Of the social fascist miseaders to
fighting policy
The section and district conferences which have been
held and are being held served as means Of nten-
styling the work within all of these and other working
class organizations Delegates already elected be
utilized among the speakers at these organizations
The local conferences should serve to broaden and
intensity the convention preparations and should
way be regarded completing the convention cam
paign.
THE reports from the districts show weakness in the
development of struggle for the daily needs of the
unemployed The struggles Of the C. w, A. workers
for better conditions the job still largely spon-
taneous still involve only small portion of the C. W.
A. workers and bring far too meagfe organizational
results.
The p3puarization of the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill the Fight for the bill is also still weak
Except in isolated sections las in Minnesota the
fight for Workers Unemployment Insurance has not
been brought to large masses of workers.
The fact that the campaign for funds to finance the
convention has not yet been taken seriously by the
Party members in many districts is indication of
the tagging behind of the entire campaign for the
preparations of the national convention Unless the
financial campaign is carried forward as an important
part of the general unemployed program the entire
convention arrangements will be endangered.
An immediate and self critical check-up of the cam
paign against unemployment all along the line is in
order

The effects OF Nazi rule on the

And with the opening of those
gates, came the rush of the rural
kiddfes to see the wonders of the
great fair" Naturally theT didn't
taIry long before the scores of farm
exhibits which attracted their par
ents. What interested them most
were the amusement devices, pink
lemonade, toy balloon ami novelty
stands and whatnot No doubt the
hot dog" sandwiches and "sody
pop cut down a lot of their appe-
tite for the fried chicken in their
parents picnic baskets. But it was
their day" so their parents and the
fair officials let them enjoy it as
they would. If some of the smaller
ones got lost, loud speakers were
soon announcing that the bewilder-
ed and tear-stained child of "Mr.
and Mrs. Kent-Sussex County"
could be claimed at stand. So there
was little for the parents to worry
about and less for the kiddies, so
long as their pennies held out. And
even if daddy" or mother"
wouldn't hand out any more pen
MES, they had plenty of things they
could look at without cost.
