"South of Union Square"

IF ONE were to believe Mayor LaGuar-
dia he is friend of the workers of
New York City-even after election day.
This impression he studiously at
tempted to broadcast in the publicity at
tendant upon the resignation of former
Police Commissioner General Organ.
The mayor would have it appear that he is
staunch friend of labor and its right to organize
strike, picket, meet and petition for redress of
grievances.
Under the liberal" LaGuardia regime unem-
ployed workers and strikers have been visited by
reign of terror that finds few parallels in previous
administrations Combined with the typical La
Guardia use of fine phrases toward labor, there
has been ruthless use of the club black jack,
and third degree against strikers.
1t was this friend of labor who snarled the
famous epithet yellow Dog" at James Gaynor, a
leader of the unemployed. 1t was this petty despot
who called a conference of city editors-with the
honorable exception of the one from the Daily
Worker-and announced his plans of blood and ter
ror against the fighting jobless, plan which the
Daily Worker promptly exposed
1t is this LaGuardia who attempts to come
forth in the shining armor of a knight of the
people now that Organ has been removed.
NOR will Police Commissioner Valentines policy on
~ the civil rights of the masses of New York be
any different than that of his predecessor On the
contrary, LaGuardia and Valentine have already
cooked up an infamous scheme whereby there will
be no mass meetings south of 18th Street. This
section of New York evidently is beyond the reach
of the constitutional rights supposedly guaranteed
to the masses, of free speech assembage and petit
ton for redress of grievances according to the latest
ukase.
In effect this means that workers cannot meet
in City Hail. bring their grievances to public off,
Gals at the seat of municipal government, ETC.
This decree will be applied to seamen meeting
south of Union Square along the city's waterfront
in preparation for-and during the seamen's strike
1t is a blow against meetings on the East side-a
section of the city certainly south of Union Square
This latest LaGuardia outrage must meet the
swift and emphatic protest of New York workers
and other fighters for the elementary democratic
rights of labor.

Scab Tactics of A. F. L.

them to the administration of both
locals and to Manager Nelson:
The Leonard Knitting Mills, 427
Broadway, New York City was in
Icontractual relations with the Knit
goods Workers Industrial Union.
About five months ago the shop
was declared on strike against the
attempt of the bosses to cut the
wages of the workers. The picket
ing around this shop has never
ceased and is still kept up. The
work in the shop was discontinued.
Recently the bosses reopened the
shop. A group of workers went up
to scab. To our establishment we
found out that the scabs are mem
bers of your union and are sent up
to work by the officials of your
locals, who are issuing working
cards to them. We demand that
you instruct your members to stop
scabbing and leave the shop, and
that you stop the sending of your
members to scao in the shop in the

of the right of the Communist Party to appear on
the Illinois ballot.
The Communist Party places in the forefront
of its election campaign the fight against capitalist
terror the fight for workers rights-the right to
organize strike and picket the right of sssemblage
the right of free speech and free press, the right
to appear on the ballot The Communist Party
urges the broadcast united front in the struggle for
these rights. American labor must not relinquish
one single democratic right that it has won through
years of bitter struggle!
Workers who wish to fight for their rights will
not only fight for the right of the Communist
Party to appear on the ballot but will vote Com
munist.
Vote the Hammer and Sickle! Vote Communist!

Wage and Sales Taxes

A FTER the Morgan and Rockefeller
banking interests had demanded that
every wage in the city be taxed and sales
tax impost be levied on the most common
articles of consumption to finance unem-
ployment relief, Mayor LaGuardia's ad-
ministratiOn, in the person of Comptroller
McGoldrick, declared that the ultimate decision
lies with those who have the money"
The bankers demands, to which the LaGuarda
regime has given its approval in placing the bur
den of unemployment relief fully and squarely upon
the workers, falls with the double weight of two
fold mpost. Firstly, the wage tax will lift per-
centage from the workers pay envelops; secondly,
the sales tax will also be levied on what the worker
buys
During his election campaign, LaGuarda ranted
against the financial dictators," and delivered
TRADES against the "stranging four year Bankers
Agreement by which I am bound" Today La
Guardia, who once saw fit to condemn the banking
interests in words, gives his approval to the plan
to tighten the Strangle-hold of the bankers and
guarantee their loot by further taxation on the
masses.
He now plans to pour new millions into the Wall
Street Golfers while following the terms of the Bank
ers' Agreement to the letter
I. Amter, Communist candidate for Governor of
New York State, speaking at the public hearings
on the relief tax plans clearly outlined the Com
munist Partys demands on relief financing
stop the payments under the debt service;
end the Bankers Agreement; tax the large in
comes, large realty holdings corporations and
utilities" Amter declared. eff the city can go
bankrupt insofar the jobIess are concerned and
stop the payment of unemployment relief then
the city can go bankrupt insofar as the payments
to the bankers concerned and stop the pay
ment of their loot.
we have heard great deal from YOU La
Guardia and from President Roosevelt about IN
employment insurance" Amter continued, I'VE

The c. P. Fight
for Civil Rights

WITHIN the last week our readers were
" informed of the fact that the Social
ist Party and the Socialist Labor Party
of Illinois were excluded from the ballot
of that state. The Communist Party of
Illinois promptly issued statement de-
manding that both parties be placed on
the ballot.
This statement was an expression of
the fight the Communist Party carries on for the
elementary democratic rights of the workers While
the Communist Party is politically opposed to the
principles of the S. P and the S. L, P we under
stand clearly that both of these parties contain
workers whose aim is the overthrow of the capitalist
system and the building of a socialist society We
understand that an attempt to keep these parties
of the ballot is part of the general drive of
fascist reaction against labor and as such our Party
the leader in the fight for the civil rights of labor
fought it.
Today's news informs us that the capitalist poll
tcians of Illinois trying to keep the Communist
Party of the ballot, while permitting the S. P
and s. L. P. to appear, despite the fact that the
G. p. has at least 10000 more signatures than is
legally required

OF fascist reaction. Every member of the Socialist
Party. of the S. L. p, must rally to the defense

CONDON EXPLAINS
 WORK OF SCHOOLS
Bunker Hill P. T. A. Hear .Superintendent-Card
 Party To-day

More than 75 members and friends of the Bunker Hill Parent Teachers association heard talk by Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon on the functions to carefully weigh the children's s night at the hospitality night" meeting in the Bunker Hill school gymnasium.
 Superintendent Condon explained that Crosby high school should be the choice of students who were interested in classical studies and higher education; that Wilby was for those who were interested in business education; and that Lea- yenworth was for those whose pre- ference was for trades.
 The speaker advised all parents to carefully weight the children's qualifications and preference before urging the choice of a particular high school upon them. Children who entered the wrong type of school lose all interest in -educa- ton, he said.
 A musical program by the Bun ker Hill Mems League preceded MT. Condon's address, and dis cussion period closed the session. Mrs. Louis Wenzel presided. The rule award for the class with the largest attendance at the meeting was won by Mrs. Lura Stanton's eighth grade class of the Bunker Hill school. Announcement was made of a card party to be played this afternoon at the Bunker Hill school gymnasium under the direc- ton of Mrs. H. B. MacNish.

Signing of Code Presents Many Local Features
 Speakers State

One hundred per cent member ship, regardless of the prices charged in the shops, is the aim of the Waterbury Master Barbers As- sociation and the Journey mems Local, following mass meeting at Garden Hall last night. Announce. ment was made that the Barber's Code was signed last Saturday by President Roosevelt.
 The code provides the rate of sal ary for journeymen, but does not fix the scale of prices to be charged for haircuts and slaves. Among the speakers heard, most of whom talked on the code, were Domenic Coscina of Hartford, secretary of the state Master Barbers' Associa- tion: Frank J. Green, secretary of the Waterbury Chamber of Com. merce; Emil Juliano, president of the Waterbury Master Barhers. Association, Joseph Camillire, of Hartford. treasurer of the State Master Barbers, Angelo Possema- to, secretary and treasurer of the Journeymen's association of Water bury and Joseph Summa, president Of the local journeymen's associa- ton.
 All SnOul0 EnfOu
 It was decided to have all bar bers of the city, provided they are citizens of the United States, en- roll in either the Master Barbers' group or the Journeymen's asso- citation, according to the MIRA code regulations. President Juliano an- nounced that all proprietors Of shops must sign the code or be Tn danger of being put under the H. cense by the federal authorities. A board of three members will be set up soon to settle any disputes be- tween journeymen and master bar bers; fix a scale for haircuts and slaves; wage scales, commissions, etc.
 Secretary Green Explains
 The code sets up the minimum salary for journeymen at $l5 weekly, but leaves the commission to be arranged by the journeymen and master barbers in each local ity. Secretary Possemato said the wage provisions will be enforced.
 MT Green spoke along the same lines, stating it is necessary for full membership so that the local MIRA authorities could get 100 per cent cooperation. The code was explained by MT Coscina.
