Ken Murray
Says:

RumOrs from Paris say that
Adolf Hitler is planning to
marry soon, in order to set up
a dynasty. What's the matter,
Adolf! Don't you think Eu-
rope ever needs a rest?
They're somewhat afraid over
there, that If he did have a
son, it might grow up and
follow in its fathers goose
steps.
1 guess Adolf figures that If
his baby was anything like the
rest Of the Germans, 1t would
never keep him awake by cry
ing. 1t would be afraid to
open its mouth.
so REMEMBER:
Hitler is doing his best to
get ahead. and lots Of people
think he could use one.

The struggle against the terror

task still remains to build the Party

settlements and to provoke labor
ard food riots and burnings in an
effort to overthrow the authorities
and hasten national revolution"
Outside the rawlings of Ku Klux-
ers and vigilante chieftains who are
paid SO much per rave, it would be
hard to find more deliberate at
tempt at provocation than the
above.
This is one dangerous aspect of
the California situation-the I'M
restrained SANDER of Communists,
which furnishes the moral justifca-
ton for the campaign Of atrocities.
Bright Young Men
There is another side. Mr.. Hearst,
during the strike and thereafter,
turned a lot of his bright young
men loose to cover all Communist
angles. They did swell job. No.
where in the United States in the
same length Of time have the read
ers of the Hearst press had such an
opportunity to receive a political
education. In four days this writer
counted Sc columns of type in the
Hearst sheets devoted to reprinting
an editorial statement by Earl
Browder, the most important parts
Of an article by Jack Stachel On
trade union work, numerous ex-
tracts from C.P. resolutions and
theses, long quotations from numer-
GUS articles by this writer, long sec
lions from Daily Worker editorials
and Party pamphlets, history Of
general strike movements, etc, etc.
The Western Worker Office had
been raided and demolished, and
anyone caught reading the Daily
Worker was arrested.
But Mr.. Hearst kept his boys busy
and rendered truly ycoman service
to Communion. Many Conlaluniat
sympathizs--s whose practical work
had left them little time to devote
to theoretical study were able be-
cause Of the Hearst policy to catch
I'D with their reading az email cost.
The Hearst sheets gave circulation
to articles ON Communist theory
and tactics that the Party could
not have purchased for a million
dollars.
This, like the rift in the ranks of
California capitalists, and the fero-
cicus fight w2ged On the Roosevelt
administration program by sec
ton CT the capitalist class, is the
result of more acute inner contra
dictions of the system.

Rift Wdens Between Groups Of California CAPITALISTS
Exact Methods Of Breaking Unions and Coast Strikes

Hearst in a first page editorial, had
repeatedly denounced the strike, not
merely as a rebellion, but as revclu-
ton. %.
ut was an attempt by force and
violence to depose all constituted
authority and to destroy established
American Institutions.
"The citizens of San Francisco
have, and have had from the be-
ginning, full appreciation of the
significance OF the Communist revo-
luton and a shrewd understanding
Of the causes of it?"
And what are these causes?
According to the Hearst press, the
chief cause is that:
las a matter of frank fact, much
of the administration is more Com
munistic tn an the Communists
themselves.
And it is the firm opinion Of
many conservative citizens that the
revolution in California against
stable government and established
order would never have occurred
except for the sympathy and en-
couragcment which the fomenters
of the revolution were receiving or
believed they were receiving from
those high in the counsel of the
administration"
Thieves Fall Out
There you have it! The thieves
have fallen out over the question
of tactics, over the question Of how
best to preserve what remains OF
once flourisiling American capital
ism, over the question as to how
best to combat the growing con-
seriousness and rising militancy of
the American labor movement.

The seven-point program Of the
Councils urged: a united front and

a united fight for jobs at union

Southern SIaue Market Economy
Dealt Heavy Blow by Growing
Strike Waoe In alabama TOw1S

Every single mine in Alabama was
shut tight. In MAY, 5000 ore min
ers went out on a general strike
And now large majority of the
$4,000 Alabama textile workers are
on strike, and as this is being writ
ten the rank and file strikers are
working to tie up every single tex
tile mill in Alabama.
In these strikes Except textile
where most of the strikers are
white, the outstanding note OF
progress was the rapid development
Of solidarity between the white and
Negro strikers and the growing
prestige of the { p This race and
class solidarity developed especially
as a result of the militancy of the
Negroes who were in the forefront
of the struggle.
The Textile Strike
A word on the present textile
strike. The rank and file have come
out on strike after formulating a
number CT excellent demands; such
as 80 and not a 4O-hour week at
S12 minimum in-tead of SO; aboli-
ton of the strctch-out; re-cmploy-
ment of all workers who lost their
jobs because Of the stretcn-out or
for union activities; and finally, re-
ccgnition of the U. T. w. The

energy to spread the strike and

on the very best authority that
George Creel, Roosevelt candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, has compiled a report for
the administration on the strikes in
which the greater part of the blame
is laid on the shipowners, the water
front employers and their strike
Breaking organizations.
Have Axes to Grind
The Roosevelt administration and
Creel have their own axes to grind,
but one does not need much imagi-
nation to visualize the effect of such
a document, if published, upon
hardboiled employers whose hang
ers-on are still carrying out fascist
raids on and beatings of everyone
they can reach who is suspected OF
Communism. Having in this way
saved San Francisco from revolu-
tion-and the state of California as
well - these ambitious capitalists
we're prepared to step out and save
the nation.
The weak point in the scheme was
that the splendid solidarity and
militancy of the working class pre-
vented them from smashing up the
unions.
There are even many strange but
heartening tales told OF the 5enti-
ment among the national guards
men occupying the waterfront.
People who should know say that
a big majority of the guardsmen
were against strikebreaking and
that the officers, for the most part
heads or high-salaried executives Of
big corporations, at no time felt
that they could depend upon the
majority Of their forces in decisive
action. In any event the officers
moved staff headquarters onto a
snip out in the bay after passing
come rather anxious nights on the
waterfront. 1t is not to be under
stood that the National Guardsmen
were on the point of mutiny or
anything Of tl,at sort. But they did
not Ike their dry jco, many OF
them said so. and their morale was
low at all times.
Reaction Against Police
There is a tremendous popular
reaction against the police and the
authorities generally as a result OF
the destructive raids, bestings, de-
portations, burning of books and
ether property, arbitrary mass ar
tests. Thcre is popular disgust with
The wave Of terror that swept
through practically every California
city ard town and which was or
ganized i'll cooperation with and
participated in by the police.
The Hearst press, however, tied
to the interests Of big capital in
California, continues to insist that
the rceion IVES saved from rcvolu-
ticn BY these atrocities. THE news

Longshoremen Express
Determination to Hold
Out for Seamen
BY BILL DUNE

(SpeStsl 10 the Daily Wo-ker)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Tht
vo-ing and negotiations centerine
around the return to work by the
longshoremen; their expressed de-
termination to delay their return
until there are suitable guarantees
that the seamen and other mari. ime
unions will be recognized by the en-
ployers, has served to show, since
the union shop versus the open shop
was the central issue in the great
struggles here, how the marine
workers strike and the general strike
have widened the rift in the
ranks of California capital
lists and their associates. The
Hearst press and Hearst himself
froth at the mouth over the be
trayal" of the open shop drive.
The joint committee of the mari
time unions demanded the follow
ing guarantees from the Presiden 5
board: Removal of all strikebreak-
ers and armed guards from
the waterfront; no discrimination
against any workers for union acti-
vities; all Sidewalk" hiring to be
discontinued; hiring to be done
through the union halls.
Ralph Mallen, head of the pub
licity committee of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association,
stated, evidently speaking for the
strike committee, thai he was cer-
tain the I. L. A. members would
not return to work until the sea-
men did.
Not Defeated
Such conclusive evidence of the
fact that the mari ime workers have
not been defeated is the main
reason for the sharp turn the con-
flict betWe-n the various capitalist
groups has taken in the last few
days. Adoi ioral evidence is con-
tanned in the statements of one of
the local judges, who already has
turned loose something like enc
hundred arrested workers after de-
nouncing the raids and the fascist
methods used as the actions o. mad
wolves"
The steadfast sand of the mari
time trades headed by their joint
committee with its militant core of
longshoremen leaders, ard the pres
sure of the general strike, in spite
Of the betrayal from wi hin, have
forced the waterfront employers and
the ship owners to the point Of
recognition of and dealing with the
unions. This is Sd far rom their
original open shop objective that it
