bye and bye we'll have victori-
Gus fascism.
But many militant workers
ask: Doesn't TechnOcracy make
many poole think for the first
time about the evils of capital
ism and in this way bring them
closer to Communism?
Undoubtedly, TechnOcracy
turns a certain number of con-
sentative people radical. But
the majority of people who fol-
low TechnOcracy, are already
radical. And TeehnOcracy, in
stead of bringing them nearer
to Communism, sets up a wall
between them and the only
road to COmmunism-the road
of revolutionary struggle.
At a time when the masses
must be reused to immediate
action, Teehnocracy, like the
EPIC plan and the program of
the Socialist Praty, puts them
to sleep with false dreams.
Technocracy helps weaken
the working class and deliver
it into the hands of the fas-
cists!
1t is necessary for militant
workers within the Technocrat
clubs to work with all possible
speed to draw these clubs into
the current of revolutionary
movement, by bringing them
into action for Initiative A.
the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill, into the League
Against War and Fascism, into
all the struggles of the working
class. At the same time, the
militant workers must point
out clearly to the members of
the clubs that TeehnOcracy Of
fers no method for overthrow,
ing capitalism, that only the
Communist Party has a real
program for destrying capital
ism and building Socialism.

but other phases vital to the
farmer will be taken up. At a

Gus political parties will be in
vited to present their programs.

SEATTLE, Sept. 20-This week
workers in 1l54 labor and indust-

the Seattle Community Fund
payroll drive demanding that the
workers themselves take care of
the casualties of capitalism.
The greater part of the Fund
of more than $4,000 is to be
raised from among the workers,
called in the Star "the most able
and willing to give" No delieacies
will be left off the Seattle capital
lists tables in order to give to

Boycott Success;
Half Don't Vote

ABERDEEN, Wash, Sept. 20
The call of the Communist Party
to boycott the primaries had a
direct result here, where the vote
east in Grays Harbor was only
~ per cent of the voting popula-
ton.
Earl Woodland, one of the out
standing anti-worl:ing class menu
bcrs of the Aberdeen city coun-
ell tailed to place in the nomin-
ations. Had he won, he would
have been opposed by Lydia
Laukkanen Somerville, Commun-
ist candidate.
The leading candidates on both
Democratic and Republican tick
cts are definitely connected with
the lumber trust. A. a. BERT
Make, Democrat, IL a shingle
mill owner, and Ed Morley, Re-
publican, is connected with the
Saginaw Timber interests.
Humberger Defeated
Humberger, present city COM
missioner who ran for county as
SCISSOR, was defeated by even the
reaetionary ranks Of the bOur-
ge0ise voting population.
An issue now being pushed by
the bosses in Grays Harbor
County,. is a Special Tax Levy"
by which they want to raise $780,
600. This money is to be expend-
ed four ways: l. INDECENT relief
tunemployedl; 2. Bridge assess
ments repair, rebuild, etc.; 3.
Old Age Pension; 4. Oakhurst
Sanitarium.
The Communist Party of Alb
erdeen is pointing out to the
workers of Grays Harbor that
Unemployment Insurance will
take care of the INDECENT relief,
old age pensions, and the sani-
tarium. By far the largest por-
tion of the $4,000 is to go for
bridge assessments, which is
political pork barrel, and the
real issue. The others are purely
bait.
