the labor board for many months.
But the labor board did not act,
and, when it does, it will be in the
interests Of the Electric Company
The strikes must be not for the

the most brutal attacks against
the workers we're carried out.
Because workers demanded higher
wages and union organization,
they were jailed, dubbed. gassed
and shot, like in Toledo, San
Francisco, and other cities.
The workers can hope to make
gains only through their own
efforts and strength. If they de-
pend upon the A, F. Of L. leaders
and the government, they are
lost.
No Scabbing!
Workers of all trades and In
dustries, let us unite against the
common enemy. The Electric Co.
claims that it will get unemployed
workers to scab. They are sadly
mistaken. The unemployed have
grievances of their own which
they must raise. The unemployed
must demand cash relief and
those on F.E.R.A. jobs must get
higher pay and compensation,
F. E. R. A. workers will strike for
these demands and the unem-
ployed will join the picket line
against the Electric Co. Such a
united front will be unbeatable.
In order to divide the ranks of
the workers the capitalist class
will raise the RED Scare" Why
is it that the class enemy of the
workers are so bitter against the
Communists? Because the Com
munists work and fight 20 get the
greatest possible Improvement in
wages and working conditions.
The Communists say that if high
err wages for the workers will
wreck the capitalist robber system,
then the workers must fight all
the harder to improve wages and
working conditions. The high-sal-
aried officials of the A. r. Of l..
are against higher wages because
it will cut into the profits of the
capitalists. 1t is clear that these
people are more worried about the
profits of the capitalists than the
interests of the workers.
The Communists are fighting
for better world, for a world
which exists not only in dreams,
but exists today in one-siXth of
the whole worl d-the Soviet
Union. There the workers over
threw the capitalist class, estab-
lished a workers and farmers
government, which took over the
factories and industries to run
these for the benefit of the work
ing people.
The Communists know that in
the struggle for and the winning
of better wages and conditions,
the labor movement and the whole
working class trains itself for the
struggle to end the capitalist sys-
tenn that is based on the robbery
of the workers. We have to es-
tablish a workers and farmers
government which will abolish IN
employment and exploitation, and
remove tn ecauses of strike.
