Unemployment Councils
Of Phila. Ask Protest
On Discr m i n alton

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 26.-
The Unemployment Councils of
Philadelphia have urged every or
ganization and all individuals to
send immediate protests to the Bell
Telephone Company, 1916 Arch St,
stating that they will cancel their
telephone contracts unless the COM
pany Immediately installs a tele-
phone irf the Council headquarters.
For the past three weeks, the
Councils have applied for the in
stallation Of telephone in their
headquarters, 919 Locust st. Two
weeks ago the proper contract was
negotiated and a deposit made, and
six businessmen signed papers of
reference.
On Monday, Mr.. King, one of the
telephone company's m managers,
came to the Council headquarters,
and after long investigation dur
ing which he was assured that the
Councils were national organiza-
ton and new references were given
him, departed with the assurance
that the telephone would be in
stalled.
Yesterday the Councils deposit
was returned and the application
for telephone service was refused.

ism (Fascism), the most brutal.
terroristic rule of the capitalist
class. The decisive question always
is: which class has the power?
2. Production and distribution.
I'VE must plan production for use
and not for profit. We must pro-
vide a medium of exchange that
will automatically maintain the
balance between production and
consumption"
A Variation of an Old Theory
The idea that the whole capitalist
chaos of overproduction and under
consumption, with its attendant
crises and mass unemployment, is
due not to the exploitation of the
workers labor power and his in
ability to buy back what he pro-
duces, but to a wrong medium of
exchange is borrowed from such
semi-fascist organizations as the
Direct Credit Society, which has
considerable influence in Michigan.
A variation of this idea appeared
in the theories of the technocrats,
who saw the root of all evil in the
money system rather than in the
profit system. The epic plans of a
certain epic author, who is now
running on the democratic ticket
for governor of California, may also
have contributed to this and other
portions of the S. P. platform. For
instance:
Michigan could Immediately
establish Socialist system of proc
essing and distributing farm prod
uce There would be no need to
wait until the world, or even the
nation, has gone forward to the Co.
operative Commonwealth"
1t is clear that the Socialist lead
ers are determined to end poverty
in Michigan even if it is necessary
to borrow the New Deal demagogy
of ex-Comrade Sinclair.
3. Unemployment. "Unemploy-
ment cannot be remedied under
capitalism"
This sounds like a very revolu-
tionary statement. But like similar
statements in the S. P. platform,

Michigan Socialist Candidates Ignore Needs of Workers

the Socialist leaders who wrote
this platform are concerned.
No mention of the N. r. A., of
the Roosevelt government, of the
corrupt Comstock state admins
tration, of persecution of Negroes,
of the state sales and head taxes,
of the onrushing danger of war and

But what does the Socialist Party
platform contain?
l. Social ownership. This ancient
Socialist Party nag is trotted out
once more and the workers in
vited to jump on. The platform
makes the revolutionary" proposal
for "the immediate transfer from
private ownership to social owner
ship and democratic management
of the natural resources of the
state and the machinery of pro-
duction and distribution. including
money and credit" It fails to say
what class will socially own and
economically manage all this: in
other words, it avoids the central
question of power. Because to do
SO would bring up the bothersome
question of kicking the capitalist
class out of power, and this is
something that the Socialist lead
ers would rather not discuss in
public. Under cover of social
ownership" talk these leaders op-
pose the seizure of power by the
working class.

working class population in the coal
region. The kind of jobs they pre-
pare is forced labor along the plans
Of the N. R. A., mainly advocated
by J. A. German of the Anthracite
Cancellation Board.
According to this plan of Cor
man, $4,000 miners would get "jobs,
and earn maximum OF $13 per
week. This plan is an invitation for
further cutting of wages of the men
who are working in the mines.
Mine Conditions Bad
The conditions in the mines are
worse today in view of the existence
of two unions, the leaders of neither
of which wants to put up a real
fight for the miners. The United
Mine Workers helped in bringing
about the bad conditions which ex-
listed in the past, and the new
union, the Anthracite Miners of
Pennsylvania. headed by Maloney,
further played into the hands of the
operators by splitting the ranks of
the miners and continuing the
Lewis policy, policy of class col
laboration, working with the N.R.A.,
etc.
Even the reactionary Scranton
Times" laughs at the idea of a
strike being mentioned by the new
union, saying that this 'tis the sixth
threat Of strike which will not end
in a strike.'
G. P. Program Spreads
In view of the above situation,
the Communist Party election pro-
gram finds fertile ground in the An

Phil Frankfeld
National Council Board
Calls On All Groups
To Intensity Fight

NEW YORK.-The National Elk
ecutive Board OF the Unemployment
Council again yesterday called upon
all organizations and individuals to
intensity the campaign for the re-
lease Of Phil Frankfeld, member Of
the executive board of the Coun-
ellis, now serving q two to four year
term in Blswnox Prison for his
activity in behalf of the jobless
workers in Pennsylvania.
The statement by the National
Executive Board Is as follows:
Phil Frankfeld, the leader of the
Unemployment Council of Ale
gheny County, Pennsylvania and
member of the National Executive
Board Of the National Unemploy-
ment Council has been thrown into
Jail by the authorities Of PENINSULA
mia for militant activity in a fore
closure sale. At this time of rising
unemployment throughout tn e
country and particularly Pitts
burgh, with the masses showing
militancy, the bosses and the gov
eminent Of the country are trying
to throttle the movement by i'm
prisoning the leaders of the I'm
employed.
Eve must put an end to these at
tacks upon the unemployed workers
and their leaders since this is only
the beginning of a general attack
upon the unemployed and the low
ering of their conditions.
The National Unemployment
Council calls upon all Of its affili-
ated bodies and all other workers
organizations to send resolutions
protesting the imprisonment Of Phil
Frankfeld and demanding his i'm
mediate unconditional release"

on reading further you discover that
its aim is to hide the fact that the
lot of the unemployed can be
remedied, lie, improved, under
capitalism through organized strug-
gle. Unemployment cannot be wiped
out under capitalism; for this, as
the experience of Soviet Russia has
shown, the means of production
and state power must be in the
hands of the workers.
Until work is provided, unem-
ployed men and women and their
children should be given a cash
allowance that will maintain them
in comfort and decency."
And 10 and behold, the prayers
of the Socialist leaders are answer
ed. On Oct. 10 the Wayne County
Welfare Administration embracing
Detroit and surrounding towns, in
stituted system of cash relief, plus
per cent cut in the family bud
get actually the cut amounts to
about per cent in view of the
state sales tax which previously did
not affect welfare food checks q,
plus a large slash in medical and
dental care.
And the Welfare Department in
sists that this cash allowance"
will maintain the unemployed in
decency, if not in comfort, though
the workers who receive these star
walton allowances" seem to dis
agree.
The Socialist Party platform also
contains proposals for the extension
of educational facilities and for the
repeal of the state criminal syn
dicalism law; ii practice, however,
the 8. P. leaders wage no struggle
for these demands.
Silent on United Front
The platform is significantly
silent on the united front. 1t would
not do to tell the workers the truth:
that the state leaders of Che S. P.
have repeatedly rejected the pro-
posals of the Communist Party for
united action against the capitalist
offensive, against war and fascism.

meeting Of the MeSaba Range Cen

Union Of Mine, Mill and Smelter

bing, Minnesota on October 21st,
the reactionaries in control forcibly

grounds that one of the delegates.

also threw out OF the meeting of
the council, non-communists who
fought for and defended the con-

gives every member of the union
the right to be a member and sup
porter Of working class political

Previous to this action by the
Range Council reactionaries, the
membership OF the Eveleth Local
rejected the expulsion policy of the

delegation of eight to the Oct. 21st

were elected.

takers, the bosses, the gun thugs,
and the city officials against the
Communists serves 10 take the
workers attention away from the
popsickle union, while they are
filed with lies and ISLANDERS on the
Communist Party. In this way the
labor takers are helping the bosses
build the popSickle union, and are
fighting against the best interests
OF the miners.
Fight For Relief
In this situation the Communists
are working harder than ever, in
spite of difficult conditions. The
fight for relief, for unemployed
miners, the fight against discrimi-
nation in the mines, and so on,
which are the key to defeating the
company union, are being pushed
by the Communists. The Welfare
Dept. which is controlled by the
T. G. I. and Republic bosses, Is re-
fusing to put militant union men on
relief. This is intended to force
them to move out of Bessemer.
Therefore the fight for relief is both
q fight against starvation and the
popsickle union.
The fact that the Scabs are al
lowed to carry guns and drink all
the whisky they want to without
police interference exposes the fact
that the city officials are hand in
hand with the bosses. The hard
ware stores and pawn shops will not
sell rifles or ammunition to the
union men. These facts show the
tenseness of the situation and that
hell may break loose any time.
Union takers encourage this indi-
vidual action by refusing to organ
ize the unions for a real fight
against the bosses. In spite OF the
betraying actions of the union fax
ers, the Communists are mobilizing
the miners for real fight for bet
ter conditions in the mines and for
relief which is the key to defeat
ing the company union.
President Van Jones OF the Mus
coda Local spoke up as a real union
man when he said that as long as
the Communists fight for the work
ers he would not fight them.
The election campaign, with John
Davis, white worker, and Ranc
Smith, a Negro worker, both from
BesSemer, running for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor respect
lively, on the Communist ticket,
brings a new angle into the fight
against the company unions by ex-
posing the support the boss politi-
clans give these.
"The defeat of the company
union depends for the most part
upon the work of the Communists
in the unions in Bessemer," the
Communist candidates pointed out.
Judging from the way the Party has
held up so far, and the fight it is
organizing, 1t is safe to say that the
company union will be driven out
of the ore mines.

cialist Party are not silent on this
question; large sections of them a.e
satisfied neither with the platform
nor the candidates of the S. P. In
Flint, for example, the Socialist
Party members declare that they
will not vote for their candidate for
governor, Arthur E. Larsen, because
he is a minister-an expression of
the healthy disgust of the prole-
tartan members of the S. P. with
the petty bourgeois leadership, In
Kalamazoo the whole executive
committee of the Socialist Party
attended the U. s. Congress Against
War and Fascism in Chicago, de-
spite the boycott of the Congress by
the ofdcialdom. In Kalamazoo too,
Socialist workers, side by side with
Communist workers, are helping to
build the A. F. of L. Rank and File
Committee for Unemployment Re-
lief and Insurance, pitting their
united front against the united
front of the trade union bureaucrats
and the Socialist leaders.
But Socialist workers do not have
to vote for a minister or for plat

mentary needs. An auto worker is
