IT is the capitalist system whose insanity and
destruction have made life miserable for the
vast majority Of the countrys toiling population
that Hearst defends with his vile SANDERS against
the working class and the labor movement. 1t is
against the "propertyless" masses, those who are
propertyless because they are plundered and
plotted by handful of capitalist pirates that Hearst
warns in his call for fascism.
And at the same time, this fascist calls upon
the masses to fight Communism as the main cause
of fascsm to defend the system which dooms them
to poverty and msery
The root of fascism in this country is the eff
fort of the Wall Street monopoes to uphold and
defend their profits by means of violence and
bestiality against the working class, against its
revolutionary vanguard the Communist Party.
Indeed it is the Communist Party which leads
the fight against fascism and capitalism!
But this fight is in the interests of the whole
toing population, the vast majority of the popu
lation against the miserable parasites who are at
tempting to climb out of their capitalist crisis on
the backs of the working class The Communist
Party is part and parcel. flesh and blood OF the

IF ANY more evidence is required to arouse the
entire working class of this country to the grim
menace of approaching fascsm it is the editorial
which appeared yesterday in every Hearst paper in
the country on the first page.
In this editorial, signed by William Randolph
Hearst and issued instructions to every Hearst
editor in the country, Hearst gives fiat endorse
ment to the necessity for creating just such fascist
groups as envsaged in fascist plots revealed by the
lingo General Smedley Butler.
In words whose sinister threat cannot be mis-
taken, Hearst writes as follows:
II do not think that there is any danger of
fascism in the United States AS YET ;. there is
no danger of fascism as long there is no danger
OF Communism FaScism will only come into
existence into the United States when such move
ment becomes necessary for the prevention Of Com
munism. We do not want to have to resort
to fascist movement in order to prevent such
misgovernment" (Hearst's emphasis.
Here then is the full endorsement of fascism as
the weapon with which to fight the revolutionary
movement of the working class against the yoke
of capitalism and wage slavery.
The enormity of this DEVELOPMENT can be

realized when remembers that the Hearst
press reaches more than 100000 readers!
Hearst lays the basis for the fascist attack on
the labor movement as follows:
THE proletariat is composed of citizens without
property of any kind; and the reason they have
no property is because they have the lowest ntelli
gence, the least industry, the least thrift"
The proletariat today is the body of citizens
least able to manage their affairs and
quently least able to manage the nations affairs"
1t is in this way that Hearst, the multi million
aire who has fattened on the sweat of millions of
workers, heaps his contempt upon the millions of
jobless, the millions of workers whose labor makes
the wheels of industry turn, whose labor provides
the Wall Street parasites with their plumber
On the same day, Hearst's papers endorsed Hit
lerS policy in the Saar Valley Hearst has just
returned from interview with Hitler in Berlin
This has one meaning. This means that the
fascist organizations in this country have now
found an official press in the Hearst papers, that
Hearst has endorsed fascism on an international
and domestic scale. This means that the tremen-
dous Hearst press machine is at the service of
Hitler and Hitlerism both here and abroad.

working class. 1t is the Party of and by the work
ing class
Hearsts instructions to his editors, following on
the heels of the fascist revelations of General But
Ter, reveal with what speed fasciszn is developing
in this country.
And they reveal from where the menace comes
from the leading government and financial figures
bound up with the Roosevelt government
1t is not only the Communist Party that faces
the menace of American Storm Troops, American
concentration camps violence and torture.
1t is the whole labor movement, the trade unions,
the Socialist Party, and every liberal movement TOR
civil rights and culture which faces this rising
menace of fascist brutality and darkness.
Sound the alarm! Rouse the great working
class of America, the millions whose children ale

exploitation in the shops, mines ana facto-ies

Connecticut is the third district

In an attempt to stop relief strug-
giles. Reliable information is that
the vigilantes worked with the
police. Some reactionary A. F. of

their rank and file participated in
the raids. hoping to terrorize work
ers and head off the wide growing
movement for united action among

The Committee of Action was
the leader of militant mass DEM
onstrations last week at the relief

asking for relief. Four workers
were arrested Saturday while the

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. 26-This
morning was set by the Dyers In
stitute, as the deadline for the
Opening" of the dye plants. The
authorities were asked to have its
police in readiness and to full cap
acity, the veterans organizations
were asked to supply protectors for
the scabs.
However, this morning saw an I'M
usually large turnout of pickets who
as early as five o'clock were already
in large groups around bonires at
the factories to see that not a
single scab gets in. Not one worker
returned. Both the American Le-
gion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars posts, consisting chiefly of
workers, repudiated the role of
strikebreakers which the manufac-
turers sought to give them.
The move to starve the workers
back to the shops was likewise
scotched by campaign of protests,
and National Relief Director Harry
Hopkins was forced to issue state
ment that no one will be taken off
relief. Meanwhile the relief cam

out, and is reaching into the mass
of workers in the unions. Yesterday

Canadian Masses Win
Release for Tin. Buck
after g. Year Struggle
He Is Hailed by 1000
Workers at R.R. Station
in Toronto
Especial to the Daily workerl

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 26.-The
working class Of Canada won an
important victory on Saturday
when Tim Buck, secretary of the
Communist Party Of Canada, was
released from Kingston Penitentiary
as result of three years of I'M
relenting mass pressure on the gov
eminent.
Buck is the last of eight Commu-
mist Party leaders to be released
from five-year prison terms for
activity in the Communist Party
under the Infamous Section SO" of
the penal code, which is more ex-
IRENE version than the State GRIM
inal syndicalism laws used against
working class organizations in the
United States.
Despite the efforts of authorities
to shroud Bucks release in secrecy,
1000 workers gathered at the rail-
road station here within 2 period
Of two hours to await his arrival
from Kingston.
The authorities were powerless to
prevent a demonstration and Buck
addressed huge gathering in a
downtown street. The victory is
made the more impression by the
fact that demand for Bucks re-
lease was refused by the Ministry
of Justice only two weeks ago
Jubilant messages hailing Bucs S
release are pouring in from all parts
of the continent.
Buck, addressing the enthusiastic
mass which greeted him here, said
Il was a Communist when I went
into Kingston and I am better
one now that I am released from
Kingston"
The determination of the Cana
dian government to keep Buck in
prison, broken only by the mass
militance of the Dominions work
ers, YVES indicated in the statement
of Prime Minister Bennett some
time ago that Buck and his COM
rades would serve every last five
minutes of their sentences as long
as I am head of the government"

Slowly dying as a result of his 49,
day hunger strike, William O'-Don-

Jail that Hundreds of my brothers
will avenge me if I die" O'Donnell
has refused to accept either food
or liquids in protest against the six
month sentence imposed on him for
in the Seabrook farm
strike earlier this year.
DR.. H. Garrett Miller, county
physician said that O'Donnell could
not survive much longer unless he
begins to take liquids. "O'Donnell
is starving to death by inches" DR..
Miller said. you can tell this is
affecting his vitality merely by
looking at him. His body is being
burned up internally. This fast is
drying up all his tissues. Toxins
will form and he will die"
New Jersey workers, reused by
ODonnell's steadfast militant fight
for freedom are circulating petit
tons demanding his immediate re-
lease and are arranging mass meet
ings in Vineland, Millville, and
