Green Attacks Labor

When Bill Green and the Executive Commit
tee of the AL issued a nationwide call for at
tack on Communists in the American Federation
of Labor, the Communist Party declared that the
move was a smokescreen behind which Green
and the bureaucrats would carry on wide
spread attack upon all workers outside the
AFL and yithin the unions.
Green's antired drive has now come TO its
logical conclusion with the actions of the ma
chine at the 54th Convention of the AL In
Frisco, and with the statement of the Executive
Committee on relief expenditures published In
Washington ID. c.. earlier this week.
What did Green do under the guise of at
lacking Communism? He and his machine boot
ed down the most basic and elemental needs of
every man within the American Federation of
Labor.
The principle Of strike and of sympathetic
strike.
The only genuine unemployment insurance
bill. HR 1888.
Democracy, not gangsterism within the un.
ions.
Low dues rates or exemptions for vast num-
bers who are run out Of the AL, because,
through unemployment they are not able to
pay high dues.
Racial equality. the fight against iim-crow-
ism.
Opposition to the use Of terror and National
Guardsmen against strikers.
Inc right 60 freedom OF pohtieai atnhation
for all workers.
But perhaps the most vicious step of all Is
the demand of the ALL bureaucracy that federal
relief payments cease on the excuse that relief
payments hold back business recovery.
Bill Green and the national AL machine
know this will issue in tremendous national
campaign to cut relief to the unemployed. I'm
employed men and their wives and children
can lay starvation right at the door OF Bill
Green
To understand the relationship between
Bill Green's attack on Communists, on militant
unionsts, on all workers is not enough. To mere
ly file Green's letter. demanding expulsion of
Communists is important, but is not definite
enough action. Resolutions of protest should be
sent from all local unions direct to AL head
quarters in Washington, d. c., and individual
trade unionists should write their denuncia-
ton of the Green machines latest anti-working
class attacks.

The Frandsen case came at the height of the
struggle against foreclosures and evictions Clar-
ence ID. Martin had slid into office as Washing
tons governor on program OF empty promises.
No promise was more deceiving than the one
that he would declare a moratorium to protect
small home owners
We know better than to consider the prom
ises of Martin or his parole board. The time
they set for freeing Kominski is long past We
must take action now to demand that Martin
set Bill Kominski free.
That Martin should forget Bill Kominski is
natural" but that the working class should
permit Martin for one second to not hear our
demands for the release OF Kominski is criminal
We must carry on each hour, each day the fight
against evictions and fight for the release of
Bill Kominski from Walla Walla.

Did You Know

Hearst was an overnight guest of the Roose
velts at the White House, Immediately upon his
return from Europe, where he wrote glowing
praises for Hitler and his brutal government.
Roosevelts increasing tendencies toward an
open display of fascstward actions are shown
by the fact that Hearst went to the White
House at the special request of the president.
At recent meeting of the heads of the
California teachers colleges, all seven of the
presidents approved the state school superin-
tendent's idea of forcing all techers and stud
ents to sign loyalty" pledges. This is following
in the footsteps of New York. But never before
have school officials shown fascist tendencies so
openly as to attempt to force all students to
sign away all freedom of thought.
Secretary Wallace is conducting a vote
among the farmers to find out If they wish the
AAA destruction program continued Kansas
has voted against him; but he says that doesn't
make any difference because the AAA is going
to continue anyway even II the farmers don't
like it. Thousands Of farmers have been afraid
to vote against 1t through the fear Of being
forced off relief when it becomes known which
way they voted. They have found the New Deal
is q raw deal, shot through and through will
party politics.
Proof that the u. s. is preparing for an ag-
gressive imperialist war is shown in the testi-
mony of the Army's Chief of Staff who testified
before the recent munitions investigating COM
mittee that our armys plans call for a standing
army of four million men, Every day adds proof
upon proof that the Roosevelt administration
is thoroughly intent upon plungng the U. s..
into another imperialist war in order to save q

Sinclair Beats The Gun
By JOHN THOMAS PAINE

The declaration that Upton Sinclair's EPIC

skim-milk affair to end poverty In California"
would be abandoned by Sinclair himself II any
element of II hit the capitalist interests. have
been indicated even somewhat sooner than
anticipated.
Ordinarily, 1t is to be expected that frauds
and makers OF false promises OF the Socialist
Reformer stripe such as Sinclair is. would walt
until after being elected to office before show
ing their traitor colors But Upton Sinclair did
not wait that long before going back on his
word He has done II already. He has abandon
ed his program of land settlement, of operating
factories for the unemployed of tax exemption
for properties assessed under $1,000 and for old
age pensions.
The only thing left now is promise to ex-
empt from taxation farms and homes Of less
than $1,000 valuation
And SO this great Pasadena Moses goes back
to the capitalist Egypt even before coming to
the shores of the EPIC Red Sea. What Is the ex-

Workers Correspondence

l believe any working class
story serves its purpose if it but
successfully convinces some I'M
thinking worker who believes his
own moral and economic failure
is his own fault, that he and his
II million brothers have been
victimized by a vicious system.
Then, when he is convinced
that something is wrong" with
society and not with himself. he's
ready for militant class pro-
gram. But not before. And unfor-
tunately there's a number of
workers yet who aren't ready for
a militant class program because
they don't yet know anything is
wrong with capitalism.
And the limited space for fic-
tion available in the Voice hardly
permits showing the complete
cycle of workers evolution from
resignation to capitalism to mil
liant class consciousness.
These stories weren't written
for you. They were written for
the worker, farmer and intellect
ual who hasn't heard of the war
and who won't believe it until he
has seen or read of its victims.
Then, the Voices accounts of
who the working class success
fully fights back, clearly shows
him the correct, militant follow
through.
