victory through the old stale red scare" cry Of
outside agitatOrs" etc. etc. As if it were not the
hunger Of the C. W. A men that caused the protest
demonstration, but some outside" influence. This
is the way Olson tries to cloak his hunger program
that is different from the most reactionary Wall
Street program only that it Is embroidered by more
fake radical phrases"
Yet, it is true that the Communists organized
and led this demonstration of the c. w. A men for
bread and jobs That is the honor of the Commu-
mist Party its historic task to organize and lead the
masses for bread and liberation from the yoke OF
capitalist exploitation and oppreSsionl No hysteric
shrek of Red" wipe away the fact that it is
the Communists everywhere who lead the fight for
the day-to-day interests of the masses The victory
in Minneapolis shows what Communist leadership
bring to the jobless. starving masses organized
to fight against hunger.
It is a fact that every American worker should
note and remember that the Communist Party, now
meeting in Cleveland at its Eighth Party Conven-
ton sends enthusiastic greetings to the Minneapolis
workers and their leaders It is the only Party that
stands with the jobess and c. w. A. workers All
the other parties are capitalist parties defending in
one way another the interests of the capitalist
class.
THE lesson of Minneapolis must sweep the country
like wild-fire. The lesson of Minneapolis is that
mass power with Communist leadership can win
work, relief and break down the cooGe hunger pro-
gram of the Roosevelt government and the city
administrations
Similar demonstrations must take place wherever
C. W. A workers are being flung into the streets,
wherever the capitalist officials are trying to plant
their new Work Relief" Trap which is nothing but
miserable forced labor scheme at coolie wages and
for only handful of the c. w. A. men at that
It is significant that the demand for the passage
of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill (H R.
1898 was prominent throughout the Minneapolis
demonstration. Unemployment Insurance is one of
the most vital needs of the American working class
at this moment-insurance against hunger to be
paid for by the capitalist government and the mil
honaire employers.
The fight for the passage of this bill must be
part of all struggles for relief and jobs
c. W. A. workers everywhere! JobIess and
workers on the jobs! Minneapolis has blazed the
way. They have shown what can be done to de-
feat the Roosevelt starvation DEGREES the DEGREES

Spread the fight against hunger! Do not let
the bankers and their government starve the work
and their families in order to protect their fat
profits!

Communist Leadership
Wins CWA Victory

THE country is ringing with the mag
nificent victory of the Minneapolis C.
". A. and jobless workers who have Just
won their demands for bread and jobs by
a tremendous demonstration and struggle with the
City administration
The Minneapolis victory shows what the G.
W. A. jobIess accomplish when they are led
by militant leaders, by real working class fighters
by Communists, representing the true interests of
the masses and ready to face all obstacles and
dangers in defense of those interests
As usual, the capitalist city government of Min
neapolis which is no different from any other CAPT.
tast city government showed its ruling class colors
when confronted by the demands of the C. w A
iobless for work. for food and adequate relief The
democratic government of the city barred the naked
ruling class brutality that lies behind all the sweet
sounding phraseology Of American democracy" It
was with machine guns and tear gas bombs that the
city officials Of Minneapolis answered the workers
cry for bread and work.
But this ruling class brutality did not COW the
C. w. A. workers. This time the workers were not
sold out by treacherous, negotiating" cIass-colla
boration leadership Of the Socialist Party or some
other fake radical" Party This time the workers
were led by Communists by class conscious devoted
lighters of the worAngclass, basing themselves not
on policy of DISQUALIFICATION but of class strug-

CLEVELAND, Narch 8.-Two out
standing leaders of the heroic
Cuban Communist Party electrified
the 500 delegates to new outbursts
of enthusiastic expressions of in
ternational working class solidarity
by their speeches yesterday at the
9th National Convention of the Com
munist Party here.
Through the participation and
contributions to the discussion Of
these delegates was being welded the
strongest bonds yet forged between
these two brother parties that have
fought side by side against the
common enemy, American imperi-
alism.
The first spokesman of the Cuban
party is one of the foremost lead
ers of the Cuban National Con-
federation of Labor, which has
within its ranks the majority of
the organized Cuban workers. We

suffered tortures under the bloody
Machado regime, and who has led
the workers in their revolutionary
struggles and strikes in the face of
the most ferocious terror, after
Machado's overthrow.
Introduced BY Ford
He was introduced by James Ford
who recently attended the Fourth
Congress of the Cuban National
Confederation of Labor in Havana.
IT attended the Fourth Congress Of

1--WE have seen how the Commu-
mist Party of the United States
FORCES its line of steel. This I
could myself observe when I par
ticipated in the rich discussion
which was carried on in the Negro
commission. There 1 saw how
through struggle for the correct line
the Party makes itself capable and
prepared for its leadership of the
proletarian revolution. Such strug-
gle will help and stimulate us and
the other Parties of the Caribbean
who together with us have not yet
reached such a high level in the
struggle against our mistakes"
The comrade from the Cuban
Party then dwelt in detail on the
revolutionary struggles led by the
Cuban Communist Party.
After the stirring reception of the
speeches of the representatives of
the Cuban brother party, expressed
by repeated and lusty cheering, by
the singing of the Internationale,
leaders of the Communist Party,
U. S. A., in turn arose and pledged
their support to the Cuban Party
and to the revolutionary masses of
Cuba.

ut is not enough" declared Com
rade Earl Browder, "just to remind
ourselves that the development of
this struggle of the workers in the
United States for our own immedi-
ate demands is against American
imperialism, and, therefore, directly
helps the Cuban workers and other
people oppressed by American i'm

Referring directly to the delibera-
lions of the Convention, the Cuban
representative said:

PARIS, April 8.-While a wide
series Of protest actions has met

civil servants and slashing the wages
Of the 10000 others to 10 per cent,
the reforrnist leaders have already
begun to sabotage the May l strike

Both the council Of the reformist
Labor Federation and the council
of the Civil Servants of France,

Meanwhile telephone workers in
Paris staged a short strike in pro-

five hours, workers in the govern

in the state tobacco works at lie
Mans for one hour. School teach
ers voted a protest resolution.
Protest meetings, showing a high
degree of indignation and militancy
are being held in many cities in

and demanding strike action.
Everywhere the leaders Of the re-

a brake on the workers militancy
and to brake the immense rank and
