Machine Rule
InRelief Union

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill, Oct. 3d.
Claude Broshears, exposed as a
police agent by the members Of
the Federal and State Aid Associa-
ton, following his defeat for re-
election to the Office of president
of the organization, has joined
hands with the Socialist Party con-
trolled Illinois Workers Alliance in
an attempt to split the ranks of the
unemployed here.
Working hand in hand with
Police Commissioner Able Lauman,
Broshears was appointed a deputy
and given badge and gun. He
then proceeded to build up a
machine control in the Association.
Communists and militant workers
were expelled, but at every oppor-
tunity, they continued to expose the
machine rule to the membership.
When the members of the As
ISOLATION gathered to stop an eyic-
ton, Broshears himself arrested one
of the members, Arthur Lipe, who
was held in bail Of $4,000. After
spending twenty-seven days in jail,
Lipe was released through mass
pressure and the aid of the Inter
national Labor Defense.
Leaflets distributed to the mem
bers took effect At the recent con-
vention of the Association, members
questioned Broshears about some
two hundred dollars which they
charged Broshesrs refused to turn
over to the Association. On these
charges and his link with the police
department he was defeated for Of
fee in his own local. The newly
elected officers called upon the ex-
PEELED members to again join the
Federal State Aid Association.
The Communist Party of East st.
Louis is making every effort to have
State President of the Federal
State Aid Association Cooper, a
Socialist, explain the position of the
Socialist Party in accepting
Broshea-s as an organizer for the
Socialist controlled Illinois Workers
Association. The Communist Party
has also issued a statement to all
the unemployed to join with the
Federal State Aid Association and
establish joint committees of ac-
ton and enlist the support of the
members of the A. F. Of L. in the
fight for adequate relief and union
wages and conditions on the relief
jobs. 1t further calls upon all
workers to join in the struggle for
the enactment of the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill.
While making every effort to
isolate the few remaining petty
politicians in Local l of the Fed
eral State Aid Association, the Com
munist Party here has called upon
its entire membership to intensity

lions, serve on the relief commit
tees, recruit members into the AS
ISOLATION, fight in the forefront
against Negro discrimination, and
carry forward the fight for the en-
actment Of the Workers Unemploy-

By ) Worker CORRESPONDENT


I have been employed in the New
York Navy Yard for the past sew
eral years. Several things have al
ways puzzled me.
Why wages were always being
cut? Firstly in the form of reduced
ratings. Then through legislation.
Why we were always worked faster
and faster? Why working condi-
tons became steadily worsened,
such as sanitary conditions. Work
from whistle to whistle and spend
much of our own time in getting to
and from our particular jobs. A
snapper always at our heels.
Why the most fundamental con-
veniences, If they cost money, were
not given to us? An instance is
the building Of temporary bridge
when a caisson is out. Furnishing
us with decent eating places, de-
cent lockers. decent Mushrooms. We
were always made to feel that to
be a worker in overaHs is the low
est thing that anybody can fall to;
like whipped dog thst sinks away
with his tail between his legs.
And why, if we did not submit to
all this treatment, we we're imme-
diately laid off? Why we we're
really building these battleships?
VIII we workers ever get any bene-
fit or Joy out Of them? Are they
not to be used to kill other work.

The Socialist Party was trying to
get itself thrown a bone by those
bosses by proving that they could
successfully keep the workers in
check.
Only the Communist Party pro-

was the worker against the boss,
and the only thing for the workers
to do was to organize behind a
clear-cut program, and fight like
hell until they won.
1t is not only the bad conditions

Pravda Appeared In 1912
Into this political scene came the
Pravda. It began its appearance in :.
1912. 1t was at first a small paper.
much smaller than the Daily
Worker is today. 1t began to or-oa
ganize the workers. 1t began to-.
lead their battles. Back of the
paper was the Bolshevik Party
headed by Lenin. -
In 1914, for opposition to the war,
the paper was suppressed. In the.
Spring of 1917, in the course of the
victorious revolution, it reappeared.
In November, 1917, it became the
central organ Of the rallying party
of the Soviet Union. It has re-
manned so o this very day.
Capitalist Papers Forgotten
How proud are those workers to-
day who, twenty-five years ago,
helped build the Pravda! Their
names are recorded in history.
They were building something that
endures. They were building their
own power, the power of their class. as

and the Americans. and the other
sheets of the capitalist class, are
thoroughly forgotten. so that the
young generation does not even
know their names, the Pravda-
stands out as the great leading
paper not only for the workers of
the U. S. S. r., but for the workers
Of the world.
The Daily Worker is the Central
Organ of the Communist Party Of
America. The Daily Worker is do1~'

when the structure of capitalism is
shaking, and when it is the duty.
of workers to organize themselves
in tremendous mass organizations e
and advance against hunger and
exploitation and powerful armies,
the Daily Worker is more necessary ~
than ever. The Daily Worker is the
builder Of the united front of all
the workers against hunger, against
war, against fascism, and for the
immediate demands which will
strengthen the working class and
enhance its power of aggression, in
