winston Dancis, National Secre-
tary of the YP.SL. took into his
hands the task of trying to kill the
United Struggle" the left wing or
gan of the SP. and Y.PSL. by send
ing ultimatums to the editor and
others on the editorial staff, ETC.,
demanding their immediate with
drawal from participation in its
publication Dancis was answered
that he was trying to break up the
militant left wing Of the YP.S.L.
and that in spite of all his man
euvers, the United Struggle" would
continue. Dancis dared not go any
further. Noah Walters and Bill
Gomberg, national leaders Of the
Y.P.SL.. broke up the Connecticut
Valley Federation of the Y.P.SL. in
fear of real struggle against the
Y.P.SL. bureaucracy through the
unity of the rank and file in New
England.
Arnold Freeze, part Of the McLevy
machine and State Secretary Of the
Connecticut S.P., a former State
Trooper and factory superintendent,
stated that he was opposed to or
ganizing the unemployed as it was
too much trouble He also helped
smash the strike of workers at the
Norwalk Tire Company with the aid
of James Egan, Secretary of State
Federation of Labor CA. F. of L..
In Bridgeport, the Socialist city,
Mayor McLevy, former NEG. mem
Der, instigated the police into beat
ing up unemployed and C.W,A,
workers who demonstrated for
wages due them and against wage
cuts. The American Civil Liberties
Union and the International Labor
Defense joined in defense of the
workers who were arrested for
speaking and distributing leaflets at
the demonstrations and held the
Socialist administration to blame.
McLevy welcomed into Bridgeport,
General Halter, the Polish fascist,
and broke up an anti-fascist demon
stration when a Nazi ship docked in
Bridgeport, with his police. He also
played hand in hand with Repub-
lican and Democratic politicians.
He was not even mildly reprimanded
by the NEG. or the convention in
Detroit in spite of many protests
by the rank and file What is typical
of the SP. in Bridgeport is typical
of it most everywhere.
A true reYolutionist cannot stay a
member of the SP. Only the Com
munist Party offers a real revolu-
tionary program to which every
worker and farmer should subscribe.

Unions Should Be Made
Base for Struggle
Against War

rely on Regional Labor Boards to
settle their problems, every leader
who urges support of the MIRA,
should be Immediately exposed as
a union wrecker, as one who would
turn the union into an appendage
Of the government, part of the war
machine.
Militants in the unions should
continually raise the question of the
war danger in the locals. Reso-
lutions on the refusal to transport
war materials, resolutions pledging
the defense of the Soviet Union,
resolutions against war and fascism
should be discussed and brought up
for a vote in every union in the
country.
But resolutions alone will not
smash the bosses war. 1t takes ac-
ton to do that.
Meetings where the question of
fighting against war is dealt with
and demonstrations against war and
fascism should be attended through
out the country by members of the
trade unions.
The base for turning the inn
perialist war into war for the lib
Grafton of the working class must
be built now in the unions.

leaders, leaping to the snap of the
N.R.A. whip, have promised to or
ganize labor battalions for the front
when the bands begin to play and
the mobilization orders are given.
Indeed, the top leaders of the A.
F. of L. never make move with
out consulting a government agency
on the policy to be pursued.
A. F. of l.. Leaders With N.R.A.
The tying up of the A. F. of L.
leadership with the capitalist gov
eminent has been completed under
the aegis of the New Deal. The
aim of the MIRA. is now to bind
the workers to the will of these
leaders, which is the will of Ameri-
can imperialism.
Social chauvinism, "the defending
of ones fatherland," is the philoso-
ply that is being preached in all
top A. F. of L. councils. Out of
this philosophy flows the repudia-
ton of the class struggle in war
time, the abandonment of the strike
weapon and complete submission to
the imperialist war lords.
Building up a strong resistance
against the war propaganda that
is being peddled in the unions at
the present time by leaders who
shout for support of the MIRA. is
one of the first tasks of militant
rank and file members. Every lead

NEW YORK. - The struggle for

! important issues facing the older
workers and especially Negro and
foreign born workers, against whom
a special form of discrimination is
practiced is enlisting vast numbers

Convention of the Polish Workers
of the United States which was held
in Chicago on Sept "a, mass
campaign leading to the introduc-

introduced into Congress on June
4, 1884, was conducted. Signatures

refusing united action by the en-

ing the American League Against

example of the splitting tactics of

Minneapolis Convention
Exposes NRA Attacks
On the Farmers
Rr II. PURO

The militant farmers of the
United States met in the First Ma
tional Convention Of the United
Farmers League, in Minneapolis,
MINI, at the end of June. Delega-
ton consisted of 142 delegates and
fraternal delegates from IA states.
The Convention met at time when
tremendous drought had followed
Roosevelt's destruction program.
Convention reports and discus
sion gave thorough analysis of the
position of the impoverished farrn-
ers since the beginning Of the ag-
ricultural crisis and especially pic
turing the ruinous efforts of the
combined industrial and agrarian
crisis during the last four and a
half years.
New Deal Exposed
Roosevelt's New Deal destruction
and its development into the COM
pulsory fascist measures. exem-
plified by the Bankhead Bill, which
especially affects the poor Negro
and white sharecroppers in the
South, driving tens Of thousands Of
them from their lands, was fully
exposed, as an aid for bankers,
monopolies and big farmers and
landlords.
The Convention outlined as one
of the main tasks of the movement
OF the impoverished farmers, to
fight and defeat the New Deal
measures. In this connection dele
gates unanimously endorsed the
proposal of the Executive Council,
to give unqualified support for the
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill,
launched by the Communist Party
and already endorsed by the Ex-
ecutive Council of the League.
Qualification of the Program
Very interesting discussion de-
veloped in the new program of the
United Farmers League, which the
Executive Council has submitted for
the Convention in draft form. Some
Communist delegates raised the
question in the Program Commit
tee on two important points ID
Demanding the outright endorse
ment of the Communist Party in
the program; 90 Demanding in
clusion into the program of the
revolutionary way out-workers' and
farmers government.
Campaign for Farmers Emergency
Relief Bill
The Farmers Emergency Relief
Bill also should be distributed widely
among all toiling farmers, no mat
ter what organization they belong
to, and the broad campaign for the
endorsement and enactment of this
Bill should be carried on in connec-
ton with the preparation of the
farmers relief marches. 1t is to be
understood that we must demand
the passage of the F.ER.B. in its
original form and not in the weak
ened for introduced by Congressman
Carpenter.
Farmers National Weekly, the or
gan of the toiling farmers, and the
most effective weapon in modifying
farmers into action for their imme-
date demands, can be made a real
mass paper with the circulation Of
a hundred thousand, if systematic
attention is apid to building the
circulation for it.
The decisions of the National
Convention Of the United Farmers
League can be carried out and the
much broader influence of the Com
munist Party among the toiling
strata of the farmers achieved, pro-
V1ded that the Party in every dis
trict, section I'D locality will really
undertake to give leadership for our
work among the farmers.

ton Army unit, which follows:
Dear Mr.. Curtis:
We are deeply grateful for the
great favor you conferred upon US
by having our premises cleaned.
You would scarcely recognize the
place although the work is not
finished.
| saw proof of the changed
spirit of the town in the way the
men worked. l have been very
critical of the way the relief crew
shirked while pretending to work.
These men worked steadily and
well the whole four hours.
If Mr.. Duncan, you, or any of
the others can be served by us
at any time, we shall be happy.
Again, may / express our APP
probation for this great help.
Yours to serve,

Since the sanitary department

This work has robbed rats and
