Scores Handling of
CWA and Relief
BY Art Borell

Buckley, Wn., Apr. 25-I see SO
much about rotten conditions in all
parts OF the country l think 1t is
also time to write few lines about
this end of the country.
Yesterday Apr. "a was relief day
at Buckley. AS I've watched this
line grow for 212 years Il can say
with truth that it was the biggest
crowd ever to call for relief at the
city hall here. Each week there are
new applications for relief. 1t was
bad curing Hoover days but it's
sure building faster than ever I'M
der Roosevelt. Week after week they
have promised work to the unem-
ployed but never any work. Prom
Uses galore and if you are hard up
enough, you can get starvation
warrant.
Mirage Jobs
On Apr. Is, 5 workers received Or
ders to report at the office in Taco
lna To get assignments to be fore
men in CCC camps. When they re-
ported it was regular CCC work al
go per month. Some 100 men were
1T the office in the forenoon ana
ABOUT SO per cent turned the jobs
down. They wanted experienced
men and said they might get grand
recovery pay. Well of these Buck
iey men said nix to such a job at
such pay. Bugles to go to sleep by
and bugles to get up by get fell
lows goat anyway.
A number of workers have had a
chance to go to work for contract
OF at the new entrance to Mt. Rain
Ter Park but even if they are given
jobs they must go to town to get
rustling cards as this contractor
mas signed under the state reem-
ployment plan.
Depends Where You Live
This afternoon a worker was given
a slip from this contractor to &c
to Tacoma to unemployment head
quarters and get a card. He was to
run u bull dozier and when he ar
rived at Tacoma was told he could
not have on OK card as that work
was for Tacoma men. We don't be-
grudge Tacoma men getting work
as We all need work but when q
man is thrown out of work for Z
months and gets job and then is
thrown out on as tiimsy an excuse as
his residence it shows that its all
"a rotten set up. Mr.. Sims, who was
interviewed used the usual eyasiye
answers and passed the buck. An
other committee who went to Puy-
allup for rustling cards were told
that it would be investigated as to
the welfare office there had receiv-
ed no word on this system. l think
myself it all needs scrapping and a
general cleanup.
The government hasn't commenc-
ed yet to employ men. The CWA
was just a little committee. All
things are lessons to us workers
that after all big business and
graft come first but the longer the
powers try to make some thing rot
ten carry on the rottener and more
impossible it gets.

$4,000 Protocols
Distributed in Seattle

ClSITiputeu IN Oedttie
The Protocols, one of the chief
pieces of Silver Shirt propaganda
are supposed to be a plan for the
conquest of the world by the Jews.
They have been proved a forgery
and fake and only in Germany
were they ever believed in. The
Protocols were made use of by
Henry Ford in an anti Communist
campaign he staged in the Dearborn
Independent a number of years ago.
Policy speaks very highly of Henry
Ford as "the one great Industrial
list in America who stands head
and shoulders above his fellow cap
tains of industry for dramatically
displaying spiritual sagacity in his
undertakings"
BY attempting to arouse hatred
against the Jews the Silver Shirts
substitute race hatred for class con-
seriousness to break down the solid
arity of the working class, divide
it and wear off it's resentment This
is one of the Oldest political STRAIT
egems known-to make a scape
goat, center hatred against it, and
thus gain power. In his autobio-
graphy (Which is advertised in the
magazine Liberation) Hitler says,
"The people must be misled in
order to gain the adherence Of the
Masses"
Glass Collaboration
Another of the earmarks of fas-
cism is class collaboration" This
policy of Cooperation between en-
ployer and employee under dying
capitalism can have no other end
but war and hunger for workers.
Nazi leaders point out that the
capitalists of the u. s. are go
years behind the times in dealing
with labor" and cite the Nazi pol
icy of suppressing the unions and
keeping wages low as the only way
to keep workers from getting out
Of hand.
However, American capitalism is
fast coming up to date in its deal
ings with labor and new evidences
of fascism are cropping up daily
showing that the capitalists here
are getting the idea of how to
make the world safe for capitalism.
Organization in Washington
The Silver Shirts whenever pos
sible work with other fascist groups.
In Washington they are assisted

ical aspects OF the Silver Shirts
or Silver Legion, 1t is extremely
serious to the working class. Re-
member that as late as 1928 in
Germany the Nazis commanded
only a few followers and we looked
upon as a group of DULLES and
hotheads who because Of their ex-
IRENE ideas and stupid leadership
would never play an important part
in German politics.
Yet Hitler's Brown Shirts, we'll
financed by the capitalists and the
munition makers, rode TO power
over Germany. Now under the Nazi
state, workers must fight a terrible
battle against a state of slavery
and terror. Every right to organize
mas been taken away-their stand
ard of living is sinking lower daily
and Germany prepares feverishly
for war as the only means Of con-
tinuing the suppression Of the
working class.
National Organization
The Silver Shirts were launched
by William Dudley Policy in jan
uary, 1888, but Policy is by no
means a stranger to the art of mis-
leading the working and middle
classes. In addition to his exper-
fence as a spiritualist, YMCA sec
rotary, scenario writer and news
paper man he has been a successful
advertising man and magazine
publisher and contributor to such
magazines as the American. He is a
cold blooded business man excel
lently equipped to gain the follow
ing of the hoodlums of this country
to serve the purposes of the cap
italists in lighting the working
class.
In 1928 Policy claimed to have
died and spent Seven Minutes in
Eternity. After this experience he
began to receive from "other di-
mansions of being" practical guild
ance in economies, but 1t was in
early 1888 when he held a confer
ence with a Nazi official and re-
ceived funds that he announced that
the call was upon him to join Hit
Ter in the work of liberating the
world from the grip of the Jews.
There is no secret about the source
of his propaganda. He favors Ger
many and Hitler in his writings
and his organization is modelled
after the Nazi organization thru
out 1t is significant that the Silver
Shirt organization is composed
largely of COMMUNICATIONS.
According to the writings of Pei
ley in his literature and magazine.
Liberation" the depression, I'M
employment, bank failures, prohl-
bition, repeal, Roosevelt, the brain
trust and recognition of Russia was
all brought about by the Jews.
Further, according to the same
source, our problems are all a mat
ter of race and Germany is the only
nation that is attaining that race
purity.

Meanwhile he laid his plans. Presently there came

STEP LIGHTLY ON THE GAS

Rigid sped regulations for automobile traffic in De-
trot into effect Monday morning Police commits
sioner Pckert has given orders to traffic officers
force a speed of fifteen miles hour downtown, and
twenty hour in residential districts The only excep
ton will be made through streets where thirty miles
hour will be permitted. under favorable conditions and
subject to the judgement of traffic officers
Motorists who fail to regard these speed restric-
TONS will be severely dealt with in the traffic The
change from the former speed limit of twenty miles
hour in the business sections and thirty the residential
districts has been brought about by the aaImingly high
percentage of traffic casualties The traffic death toll for
1884 at the beginning of this week stood at 21 in this
community representing increase of Sc deaths
pared with the same period in last year.
Commissioner Pckert points out that local auto
mobile injuries thus far in 1884 total 1854 in 1904 auto
mobile accidents together with 3l miscellaneous traffic
accidents in which persons killed injured.
1t is hoped that the reduced sped limits for local
motorists will make the streets safer for pedestrians and
motorists alike greatly decrease the traffic casualties
To the automobile drivers of Greater Detroit we
say step lightly on the gas" 1t will avert many acct
dents and deaths and fewer traffic violation fines will
have to be paid

MURPHY AND vANDENBERG

Gov.-Gen. Frank Murphy Is face
TO face with one OF those serious
problems that more than once
have confronted him In his politi-
cal career. Shall he resign and run
for Senator against Vandenberg?
Or shall he sit tight? Heretofore
he could size up the situation at
first hand and calculate his chanc-
es with some degree OF accuracy.
Now he Is several thousand miles
from the seat OF war. and will have
to rely on the advice of friends and
his own inclination.
Democratic leaders realize that
the man who runs against Senator
vandenberg has the hardest job In
the fall campaign, for Vandenberg
not only has the undivided support
of the Republicans. but because OF
his excellent record will attract a
large independent vote. He has the
additional advantage OF having
been in intimate contact with the
political situation; he knows what
the legislation of the last few
years has BEEN he Is familiar with
the record. But Murphy has seen
the bulk of the New Deal only
from afar, and before he could pre-
pare himself to fight accurately
and well, the campaign might be
well-nigh over.
The Democrat 10 beat Senator
vandenberg. II there is one. must
be able to meet him on his own
ground, and discuss the questions
of the day with an equal intelli-
gence. Is Frank Murphy that man?
To Judge by his Detroit campaign.
he Is not. He prefers to generalize;
he fixes his eyes on far horizons.
and talks of Utopia. or course he
could talk that way about the New
Deal; and in our opinion Mr.. Van
denberg can defeat any candidate
who does.
The logical man to nominate
against the Junior Senator Is one
who can meet him on his own
ground. talk his own language, and
point out where he Is wrong, II
wrong he Is. That man may be
hard to find, but the description
certainly does not III Frank Muir
ply. He is doing fine Job where
he Is, and he should be allowed to
stick TO it.-Detroit News.
